Biological Class Challenge
Welcome! In this challenge you have to play with Pokémon that belong to the same biological class, like Mammals, Birds or Reptiles. Let's sail away in Darwin's boat! If you manage to finish the Challenge, your name will be put in the Champions' list.
Rules
1. You must choose one of the classes listed below. You might use only Pokémon that are in the list of the class you choose.
2. You can't change your class during a game.
3. You can catch a Pokémon from a different class, if it evolves to one that belongs to your class.
4. HM Slaves that don't belong to the class you are playing with are allowed, as long as they don't battle.
5. Cheating to get a Pokémon you can't get normally in the game you're playing is allowed.
6. If the class you chose is not available among the starters of the game you're playing, you might choose what you want, but replace it for the first Pokémon that belongs to your class you find in the game.
The Classes
(Just for knowledge, not all the categories listed below are biological classes, since class has a specific meaning.)
Because Mew gave birth to all types of Pokémon, it is in all classes.
If Arceus is God, and God is nature, then Arceus also belongs to all classes.
Some classifications may seem strange, but they all has an explanation. Azulmarill for example is in the Inorganic class, but it's there because it may be based on a beach ball.
Some Pokémon are in more than one class, since they can be inspired in more than one kind of animal/creature/thing.

Signing Up
You can sign either for a Single Challenge, in which you play one game with one class, an Ultimate Challenge, in which you play a game on each region using one class (remakes are allowed, so either Red or FireRed count for Kanto), or the special Darwin Challenge. In the Darwin Challenge, you must play a game in each 7 regions, just like the Ultimate Challenge, but in this one you must use the living being classes from the least evolved to the most evolved. The order is:
Plants & Fungi -> Arthropoda & Other Invertebrates -> Fish & Amphibians -> Reptiles -> Birds -> Mammals -> Humanshape
In both Ultimate and Darwin Challenges, the order of the regions of the games you play doesn't matter.
