Do you feel more people should get into Nuzlockes?

That's similar to what I was thinking with the Trainer thing. Also, about NFEs, there will be an optional rule for the players as to whether or not they want to use the stage they get or the final evo. So yeah. n__n Cause I know some people don't wanna do that and some will want more of a challenge with it.

Or maybe for those who got a bunch of cards, they can randomly take a card from their trunk and make team out of those Pokemon they randomly chose? :)

I thought about that as well, but idk because you never know who's gonna grab their best cards. :( Not that I don't trust y'all, but there are the random people that join challenges and are bleh about it. That's why I included picking Pokemon that are in certain sets; lots and lots of variety. n__n I myself plan to play using cards from a theme deck. But I'm not gonna tell you the theme deck. ;3

I'm so glad you're looking forward to it then! Gives me more incentive to hurry along with GL so I can make it. :) I'm not gonna play my games til after finals though, especially since I still have more work to do and the two finals I'm most worried about are on the same day S I G H :(

afaik, my last final is on Thursday (but it's French so ayo easy a!), but idk the date of my theatre final. I missed the last class because I had to take something to my sister who didn't want to ask my mom to do it for a stupid reason and ugh thinking about it is making me mad. :| None of my group members will reply to me about the date and content of the theatre final, which I REALLY need a good grade in. There are only three tests in there, two of which I got a B and D on respectively. I need to ace the final. My GPA is crap.

More reasons to hate school sigh. :( I just hate that my most difficult ones are both on Monday and I work Sunday. And I have a buttload of work to do for one of those still. sigh

Another category for the location challenge (idk just calling it that for now?) could be a Pokemon to represent your general weather. Castform goes with Alabama. Cause the weather is just absolutely ridiculous and random here. :|
I just have to ask - is it as ridiculous as we've had here in Finland:
  • First week of April - All sunny and nice all the snow and icy roads are finally just about gone. Woop! +5C outside even
  • First Sunday - Snowstorm! T__T FML (As a side note friend of mine was planning to do some BBQ this day, he was getting trolled by nature itself.)
  • This last week - More snowing, occasional rain to make it even more slippery because it's still below zero during the nights.
  • Today - Pouring rain. What. It's almost raining sideways.

I looked at the news, my city(Middletown, Ohio) was the same as everywhere else, very little changes each day, but at least in my neighborhood, it's like weather wants everyone to die of confusion, everybody refuses to leave their house now. All I can think of is wow, what the heck is wrong with you, nature.

These are by checking my temperature reader history(for the outside, obviously), I talked to ALL of my neighbors, they are the same.
April 1st-4th, ranged from 96°F (35°C) to 101°F (38°C)
April 5th-11th, ranged from 26°F (-3°C) to 30°F (-1°C)
Yesterday and Today, ranged from 106°F (41°C) to 108°F (42°C)

I wish it would stay at a good temperature of 70°F-80°F, but no, my neighborhood hates me, and everyone else in it. There was also no rain or snow, or anything, just extreme heat, and extreme cold, and the news still hasn't changed.

Also, about the "State" challenge, I would have, some kind of Bird Pokemon that is similar to a Red Cardinal. I live near a little forest with deer, so I suppose I could use Sawsbuck, there are also a lot of bats around, but they are friendly, so Swoobat(?). And I suppose I could do the TCG challenge, sound like fun. :)

Well in my friend's case it was like the Friday and Saturday had been all cozy and you could even walk outside without a jacket. (omg!) He was all excited for his plans with his family and had gone to buy a new ballgrill and some steaks. Then Sunday morning...

Our temperatures here for the past 2 months (Feb-March) have been -5C to -20C so that minimal +1 degree has been all "oh my god!" along with "What is that bright shining thing in the sky?". So when the snow had basically all melted away and you could see the asphalt and dirt roads and grass it's like the ultimate troll move from nature to dump a surprise 30cm snow back to it.

-
I'm a bit confused of the "state" challenge on what I'd even have.
I'd get like... Spearows, Pidgeys, Pidoves, a random Vulpix (foxes), a wild cat of some sort and Lopunny. And that's just the city wild life. No domesticated ones. Otherwise there'd be tons of dogs.

If it were on a national level I'd get a lion of some sort.

  • Finland's coat of arms is a lion.
  • Also Swanna would be a must have. Whooper Swan is a national bird for us.
  • I guess Vulpix would be a good addition from the earlier paragraph, since we have Midsummer bonfire's during the "nightless day" when the sun doesn't set at all.
As for sports teams... eh, we mainly have hockey teams that are the "sports events" that everyone knows and talks about. So from there... *trying to think* a stoat, a lynx, a shark - everything else is either just a "club", a weapon of some sort (double-bladed axes anyone) or a "league".
(We have teams here that are just called Jokers, Aces, Lynx, Stoats. You just add the city they're from in front of those. But then there's the down side of the rest being called HIFK, TPS, JYP and the sort...)

I mean sure there are a few wolves in the forests, some deer and even a random moose here and there. Then obviously reindeers and bears. That's about the entire Finnish wild life there by the way. Obviously not sharks, but we do have seals and trouts.
Also if I'd really want to get into it I'd stick a Kricketune there because of Apocalyptica.

You could probably use something like Bisharp for the double bladed axe. It may not be strictly based on that but it does seem pretty sharp and possibly axe-like!

Also, I think it may be safe to say that many areas have wildly fluctuating weather. I live in Arkansas, and one day it's ninety degrees, the next it's snowing, and the next it's raining with a threat of tornadoes. So Castform may be a liable option for many teams. However, if you happen to live somewhere with stable weather, you could maybe choose a Pokemon that reflects that weather, for example Ninrtales if its always hot and sunny, or Politoed if it never stops raining.

Yeah Rewy, that sounds about right just with less snow (it doesn't snow here often so). First week of April, we had a hailstorm on a SUNNY day. :| And then a tornado. We had a week that got up into the high 70's then rained the rest of the week and was freezing. In spring. And yes, sideway rain. We've had that during band practice haha. And back in 2010, it was like 80 degrees at the beginning of the week and snowing by the end. We just ignore the seasons here. :(

Aww that sucks! Could you not ask for something to replace the Milotic? I'm sure the OP would have understood since that left you with no way to get it. :(

Hmm, I could but my team are around level 40-ish now. And getting a new Pokemon would be so much of a hassle to level it up to be on par with the other Pokemon =/

I'll probably redo that challenge soon tho, I just didn't know a lot about Feebas on the Gen III games. Kind of a shame too, I finally got a Feebas in Gen III but never got a Milotic out of it :(

Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee. I wonder if we can find a challenge regular from every state?
I'm representing New York, then.

Maybe you could keep the feebas as it is, although it will be very weak. It does get STAB Surf :D. And it gives you a nice challenge I guess xP

Don't do that. Feebas has a base Sp Attack of 10. Well unless you like crying.

The challenge is forcely telling me to get a Milotic :P

And Feebas is so weak, lmao. A tackle could make it go down to 50% of it's HP *_*
you should have seen the hack I was playing! A developer coded himself into the game as a trainer. Beat down all his pokes except one. It was a lv 95 Magikarp. up until now his pokes and mine were matched at lv 60-63. Little did I know,the dang thing had super powerful moves on it(such as Aeroblast and Hyper Beam) thankfully,it was a magikarp,otherwise,I would have never beat him.

As for me, I'm from Michigan. Perhaps there could be every state represented with all of the challengers...
