Do you feel more people should get into Nuzlockes?

At least you're not doing the big motherload of challenges, and then completely the national dex afterwards. ~_~ After I finish Challoween, I'll trade half my team to my Japanese White, and then build a new team for post-game. More offense oriented, because this defensive team is really...yeah. lol

What about specifically coloured pokemon?
I know that they are generally coloured depending on their types, but if you did something like brown, you'd get a variety of types.
If you did a gen one game (say, leafgreen) that'd open you up to diglett, pidgey, eevee etc. You can't let them evolve out of that colour, either.
I know it's pretty average but it's the best i can do.
Perhaps one where you can only choose pokemon that would not look out of place in your home (not pertaining to size). e.g. rattata, pidgey but not pikachu, charmander. growlithe and others that are based off of dogs etc also wouldn't really look out of place.

Maybe a run where you can only use pokemon within a certain weight? Really light 'mons would make it tricky, whilst heavy would seriously limit your selection.

The colour one you mentioned is known as a mono-colour challenge. As for the size one, I quite like the idea, but you'd have to make it quite restricted to make it challenging.

Oh my mistake, sorry.
Yeah I figure it could either be really easy, really hard, or really boring :P what's the challoween challenge?
It's an event challenge for a certain holiday (in this case, Halloween) that only last for a certain amount of time (this one ends like tomorrow). And if you finish it, you get an emblem.

I'm back oh whatever nobody remembers me.

Meh. Might as well as tell people I'm doing a Steel Monotype on Ruby Destiny: Reign of Legends, and a Wailord Solo Run on FireRed.

Not updating because it's annoying to.

Okay, suggest a challenge for me to do on Light Platinum and I'll do it.

Yeah. Since there's only 7 eeveelutions, and then Eevee itself, there wasn't much diversity in teams compared to other challengers. I think that ultimately brought its end.

I remember you, 649. :) Try the Christian Challenge. It needs more challengers.

Hi,
I didn't find a more suited place so I'll post here :

I'm going to restart my Leaf Green for some TM's and a good Nature/IV Zapdos, so I thought I might as well do a challenge.
Do any of you have a good FR/LG challenge to recommend? (not too brutal)

How about a monotype challenge? or a Solo challenge.

They are somewhat easy so you should be fine.

I'd definitely recommend the Monotype. Its definitely my favorite challenge, and due to the popularity of the thread, I'd be willing to guess its lots of other peoples' favorite as well. There's a reason for that. Challenges just don't get better than that one.

As said before, Monotype or SoloRuns would work,but in neither of them you can use legends ...

Or a random challenge. Challenges where I don't really get to pick my Pokemon, or have only a little say in what I can use, are my favorites, because I end up getting to use Pokemon I wouldn't use normally. Plus I like to see how well I adapt. I've had some weird teams because of the random challenge, lol.

I can't do the random challenge. I always seem to forget a couple of the moves and stuff I need to use. Also, I don't like training more than 3 Pokemon, so I can't do challenges that require full teams and the such. I'd be okay with people selecting random pokemon for me to solo, but I'm planning on covering all of them, so it seems like it'd be easier if I just went in order so I can keep track of them easily. GAHHHHHHH challenges are hard.

I'm the opposite. Gotta have a full team if possible. That in miiiiind...I have something else planned for this section soon. :) Yes, it's an event. Yes we just had one. But trust me, it'll fit well. Hopefully more people will get the emblem this time around. Lol

I'm still an even level freak. Doesn't matter what, that have to be the same level! Also most of my Nuzlocke Pokemon died to Flannery's Torkoal's Overheat. :(

So hey, guess what.

I'm leading a rebellion against myrrhman.

We will overthrow that tyrannical "king of challenges" and we will make him weep. There shall be none glorious than the iron fist of the True King of Challenges, 649. And of course, those that serve under me. So, I say to this beautiful community of pokemon fans, or "poke-community" as you all seem to have dubbed yourself, I will not stand against this imperial might. I will not cower. I will persevere.

If you are interested in joining this rebellion, go to the monotype challenge thread and complete all the monotypes of the first generation.

It's time to shake this forum up.

It's time to make a big bang.

It's time...

TO ROCK.

Who's with me!

Actually, I've completed a lot more monotypes than Myrrhman. I did do a couple with the remakes (Flying and Water on LeafGreen, Water on HeartGold) though. But I have completed monotypes for every type through Sinnoh, and quite a few through Unova, Just look at my sig, dude.

You're all assuming something that's not even necessarily true in the first place - haven't you seen the "Best Challenger" section from last year's (=the most recent) member of the year election results yet?



That aside, the on the rare occassion that I actually dig out one of the games and play, I usually can't resist even levels either when using a full team - but when using a lower number of Pokemon, I tend to just use things as it fits.
