This seems like a unique challenge, also, how do we handle Pokemon with multiple evolutionary lines? (eg. Eevee, Bellossom/Vileplume, Slowbro/Slowking etc)
Username: SilverLeafeon75
Game: Fire Red
Optional Rules/Tweaks?: I will allow healing in battle a long as the pokemon is not in battle.
BFL will be a Clefairy(chosen due to how diverse it's move pool can be)

Sorry, but I will no longer be participating in this challenge. I just don't enjoy it as much as my other challenges I am sorry.

I've been waiting for an interesting challenge since I completed my last one. :D
Username: RibbonsAndRings
Game: X
Optional Rules/Tweaks?: I may not use healing items until two turns have passed. No timer ball allowed to catch pokemon.
My Bro For Life is going to be Zorua. (Do you have to send it in as a egg or a lvl 1 pokemon?)
I'm a little confused about the evolution method, alas, how it works. I could use an explanation to make it easier.

Game: White 2
Optional rules/Tweaks:None. Actually, since I am playing White 2, my BFL will have to be obtained after my first gym, because I can't trade anything over before then. On a related note, I caught a Pok?mon prior to my BFL, but if not for that trade rule, I would have avoided catching her, even though she was a female Riolu.
BFL will be a Castform :)

I just picked this challenge back up. When I last left off, I had just barely defeated Roxie to obtain my second badge. Currently, I am grinding in Castelia City, so I can earn my third badge from Burgh before midnight - since I am playing White 2, I have a Braviary to catch. :)

I'm thinking of taking on this challenge next, on Black 2.
If your BFL is a baby Pokemon, can you evolve it? Rule 1 says you can't, rule 3 says baby Pokemon are exempt from that evolution rule, but are they also exempt from the other evolution rule?

I have started the Anime-style Challenge. I made the following slight alterations of the rules:
- Rule 2: I will count 10 Pokemon in my possession as the hard limit (instead of a guideline). The starter doesn't count as it will be released once I obtain my BFL.
- Rule 6: I will only use one TM on each Pokemon, no exceptions.
- Rule 8: I may begin a Gym battle with fewer Pokemon than the Gym Leader, but never more.
- I will add Species Clause (no duplicate Pokemon allowed), HM Slave Clause (may capture HM slaves outside of the rules of the challenge as long as they don't battle), and Shiny Clause (may always capture shinies – tbh I only needed to invoke that rule once in my entire Pokemon life, but whatever).
I named my character Cyan, since Pokemon characters are often named after colors (in the manga anyway), I don't think Cyan has been used yet, and it sounds pretty cool as a name. My rival is named Beige, which doesn't sound quite as cool but it's still okay.
I chose Tepig as a starter, although it doesn't really matter as it won't be my Pokemon for long. I beat Beige, walked towards Floccesy Ranch as quickly as possible, and started searching for Riolu. I found one after 11 encounters, which is nice (20 would be expected with a 5% encounter rate). It was rather tricky to catch; Rule 7 didn't allow me to use Tackle more than once, but Ember would have killed it, so I could only chuck Poke Balls after a single Tackle. After six Poke Balls, I got my BFL, Riolu! It was even Adamant, which is an amazing nature. Very happy with it. Bye bye Tepig.
Training Riolu was a bit difficult at first with Foresight, Endure and Quick Attack as my three moves, due to Rule 7. Thankfully, I learned Counter and Feint soon enough. The trainers in Floccesy Ranch did not put up much of a fight, so I could quickly start the Gym with my Riolu at level 12.
Sadly, I lost the first battle in the Gym. At this point I could do two things – capture more Pokemon, or grind Riolu. Since I use a stricter version of Rule 2 I didn't want to waste any Pokemon slots, and opted to grind Riolu. At level 14 I did succeed in beating the two trainers, the final of which pushed me over the edge to level 15, where Riolu learned Force Palm. With Force Palm, Cheren was a joke even with Rule 7 in effect (I just had to waste two turns in between). First badge obtained!
Oh yeah, I didn't get a response to my question, but I'm not going to evolve Riolu ever. It seems to be against the spirit of the challenge.

The previous post should be recent enough that this isn't a necro, so here's my entry in this challenge:
Username:Grimoire Dualight
Game:Yellow
Optional Rules/Tweaks?: The Safari Zone is exempt from rule 2,
The Bro For Life is Caterpie, who is exempt from remaining un-evolved, partially because of the exception to rule 3, partially because I want it to have at least some use at any point in the game.
For evolutions I will roll a d12,>7 allows evolution, and for releasing I will roll a d20, releasing on 14,15,16 and re-rolling on 17,18,19. If I would have to re-roll twice one of the previously released Pokémon comes back instead. If I have no Pokémon released at that point nothing happens.
(Using dice instead of a generator so I can make rolls on the move)
I just caught the Caterpie in Viridian Forest, and won't be using nicknames at all.
I tried to make the rival use his Flareon team as I cannot recall fighting that before, so I lost the first battle, and then used only Pikachu, who I will box for the rest of the run to beat the optional match before buying any Pokéballs so I could get 5 Pokéballs from Prof. Oak.
Edit(May 19th): I haven't been playing much, but here's what I have done so far:
Captures and evolutions:
Route 22: Mankey, is allowed to evolve.
Route 3: Spearow, not allowed to evolve.
Mt. Moon: Geodude, allowed to evolve, but only once(since I cannot trade with anyone, Pokémon that have a trade evolution still roll twice, both to increase the chance of them evolving once and to decide if they can use 3 TMs or only one)
Has since evolved to Graveler aboard the S.S. Anne.
Route 4: Sandshrew, not allowed to evolve.
Route 25: Bellsprout, allowed to evolve only once. Evolved to Weepinbell before challenging Misty.
Route 5: I originally intended to catch a Jigglypuff, but while level grinding before the gym a Pidgey utterly destroyed both Rattata and Geodude, so I caught it and released the Jigglypuff. This Pidgey is allowed to evolve twice, has already become a Pidgeotto and must now be part of the team I enter into the Hall of Fame.
Important battles: Vs. Brock: Butterfree and Mankey, Butterfree didn't even need Mankey's assistance.
Vs. Misty: Brough Butterfree and the newly evolved Weepinbell, lead with Weepinbell who, through the use of Sleep Powder and Growth, won without taking damage.
Vs. Rival(S.S. Anne): Pidgeotto took on his Spearow, Mankey his Rattata, Weepinbell his Sandshrew and Butterfree his Eevee, and all of them won their individual match-ups.
Vs. Surge: The only thing in that Gym that was even remotely capable of threatening Graveler was Sonicboom, which Surge's Raichu did not know, and thus Graveler demolished that Gym.
I used the TM 01 Mega Punch on Geodude and the TM 04 Whirlwind on Spearow.
I used the HM 01 Cut on Sandshrew.
I haven't had to release any Pokémon yet.
My currently active team consists of:
Butterfree level 23(BFL)
Mankey level 23
Graveler level 27(evolving it before defeating Surge caused a bit of a lead)
Pidgeotto level 22
Weepinbell level 24
Sandshrew level 8 (designated HM user, this last slot remains variable for the time being)

This seems a fun way to work on my writing and have a fun Pokemon challenge
Username: MurkyCrow
Game: Pokemon Sapphire
Optional rules/Tweaks: I'll definitely be using the 'no held items' rule up there. I'll also be leaving it up to chance on whether or not I successfully capture a Pokemon. Since in the anime sometimes a Pokemon runs off, or another person stops Ash, or they just go through an episode with a new Pokemon that they don't catch. I'll use the 5/12 for that.
