The Favorite Challenge
Before Starting...
I suggest going to Serebii's Pokedex so you can see a list of Pokemon for each type. You will need to make a list of your favorite 6 Pokemon from each type, even the types you don't like. Have it typed up in Notepad or MS Word. You're not required to post this list, but if you really want to, please put it in spoiler tags. The reason for this is so people that have relatively weak favorites (Pikachu, Sunkern, Metapod...? XD) don't get completely screwed by the person assigned their team.
Once you make your list, then you're good to sign up. The next person to sign up will choose 6 types (so teams of 6 are required for this challenge). Let's say they pick Rock, Bug, Fire, Dragon, Dark, and Ghost. You would have to use your first fave rock, 2nd fave bug, 3rd fave fire, etc. Get me? ;)
Original concept by Master Strife.
The Rules...
1. Cheating/hacking in certain Pokemon is allowed only if necessary (events or inability to trade). Yes, this means you are able to hack Kerudio, Meloetta, and Genesect. If you don't have the means to do this, please refrain from having them listed.
2. Trading is allowed for all Pokemon, including for eggs.
3. Please don't lie about your favorites in your list for those of you not posting it. If you have a team of Ho-oh, Deoxys, Heatran, etc., then I might have to assign you different types.
4. HM slaves are allowed.
5. Emulators are allowed.
6. This is a Black and White exclusive challenge now. Do NOT enter on any previous generation games.
7. When signing up, if you have even one legendary in one of your top 6 for any type, you must say so.
8. A Pokemon can be listed as a favorite for more than one type. (ex. Whiscash can be a favorite Water and Ground). However, this runs the risk of using two of the same Pokemon, so be careful when making your list.
9. Challenge ends after defeating Alder.
10. If you end up with a Pokemon that's not fully evolved, you must keep it that way. That NFE Pokemon is what's in your favorites, not the evolution (in some cases).
If you have any questions, please VM me. If you post in here, there's no guarantee I will see it immediately!
The Alternate Challenge...
If you do not have the ability to obtain gen I-IV Pokemon (or would prefer this method entirely), list only 1 Unova Pokemon per type. With this method, you run a higher risk of using two of the same Pokemon, so be wary. When your types are assigned, you'll just go with the first and only thing you have listed for that type.
The Forme Factor...
Some Pokemon change type upon form, and others don't. When making your list, please do not list specific forms. If you meet a certain criteria, you will be allowed to change forms.
List of form changes and rules for those:
Spoiler:
Deoxys is allowed to change forms because they're all Psychic.
Burmy and Wormadam are allowed to be the form of your choice if they are assigned as your Bug type. These are the only Pokemon you can list a specific form for in your list of favorites.
Rotom may only change forms if he is your assigned Electric type. If he's your Ghost type, you cannot change form, as changing Rotom's form in Gen V loses the Ghost typing.
Giratina is allowed to change forms because he remains Dragon and Ghost.
Shaymin is allowed to change form because both forms are Grass.
Meloetta is allowed to change forms no matter how it's assigned, since it only changes form for in-battle.
Arceus must remain Normal type.
All other forms not listed are allowed to change, since they are minor and/or only in-battle form changes. (Castform, Cherrim, Basculin, Shellos/Gastrodon, Unown, Deerling/Sawsbuck)
