Name: bwburke94
In-game name: Red
Version: FireRed
Number of Pokémon: 6.
Notes: My run will include the Elite Four rematch as well.
Restrictions (to prevent mono-ghost Gastly and similar junk):
  • As there are no spots in the party for HM slaves, Bulbasaur (Cut/Strength/Flash/Rock Smash) and Dragonite (Fly/Surf/Waterfall) are required.
  • The HM slaves should be assigned four level-up moves (Dragonite is allowed a TM it can learn as a Dragonair) because some HMs can not be obtained until late into the game.
  • This might be considered cheating, but considering that there aren't many people posting here, I feel I need to pick four of my mons to make this go faster. I am giving myself Pikachu, Nidoking, and the HM slaves. My personal restrictions for those four mons are listed below.
  • All mons except Bulbasaur must be able to directly damage all other mons from the first three generations with at least one attack from their final moveset. For the purposes of this rule, Shedinja is ignored.
  • Starting with Misty, I must have the same number of mons in my party as the opposing Gym Leader. Also, there can not be any participation restrictions for Gym Leaders or the Elite Four.
  • No evolution restrictions or forced evolutions.
  • The following Pokémon and their pre-evolutions are banned due to being too weak and/or overused in scrambles: Charizard, Blastoise, Butterfree, Beedrill, Pidgeot, Raticate, Fearow, Nidoqueen, Golbat, Alakazam, Machamp, Golem, Farfetch'd, Onix, Electrode, Chansey, Kangaskhan, Tauros, Ditto, Porygon, and Snorlax. Pokémon not available in Generation III Kanto pre-National Dex are also banned for obvious reasons.
  • No nicknames.
  • No negative-effect or useless held items, and no berries.
  • No trades, which means no Gengar.
My team:
Spoiler:

:t001: (starter, HM slave, Cut/Strength/Flash/Rock Smash, Sleep Powder/Toxic/Cut/Strength prior to Elite 4, allowed to evolve)
:t149: (HM slave, Fly/Surf/Waterfall/???, needs one move, plus moves for before HMs are taught, must be caught pre-Koga as Dragonair)
:t025: (must be caught between Brock and Misty, must hold Light Ball, needs four moves, including one Electric damaging move and one non-Electric, non-Normal damaging move)
:t034: (must be caught pre-Misty, Thief/???/???/???, needs three moves)
:t023: (must have two non-offensive moves, allowed to evolve)
:t026: (must have Light Screen)

Since there was no specification on whether Ekans was allowed to evolve, I am allowed to evolve it. The question is, can I catch it already evolved into Arbok, since it would follow the two non-offensive move restriction?

Restrictions: Only pokemon found in heartgold before kanto. Only restrictions in moves and when pokemon can evolve.
I don't calculate stat values, I don't breed my way to perfection, and I don't care about natures. I catch my Pokemon the way they are, and treat them like individuals instead of brainless drones. If you use this philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature.

@HGLover Take a Hoothoot. It has to learn and keep Hypnosis until the 6th Gym Leader. Then you must teach it the next move it learns. You must evolve it after defeating Whitney(Straight after defeating her!), and if it isn't high enough level to evolve, you must grind it until it does evolve.

Okay, spiky-ear and hoothoot. I'll just make my own challenges now:
Cyndaquil that has to always know smokescreen and can only evolve after the 2nd gym.
Togetic that can only use metronome as an attack, and must delete all its other moves after getting to blackthorn city.
Hmm... I can't think of anything else, so I'll need help for the rest.

My team is set!

Pokémon373, you get Voltorb/Electrode. Must be the highest-leveled mon in your party at all times starting with the first gym battle after it is obtained, must hold a Choice Band (if you cannot trade with an Emerald, must hold a Quick Claw instead) and cannot evolve until after Blaine is defeated. Must solo Giovanni at least once.

The D, you get an Charmander! Must be named MISSINGNO. (including the period) and also must be female; soft reset until you get a female Charmander. Cannot learn Metal Claw unless forced to, must solo the first three Gym Leaders and the first three rival battles including the one on Route 22. Cannot evolve into Charmeleon until all eight badges are obtained. Cannot evolve into Charizard until Lance is defeated for the first time, and cannot be the first non-fainted member of your party in any subsequent battles. Must KO your rival's Blastoise with Blast Burn; since it cannot learn Blast Burn until it is fully evolved, you must intentionally lose the first attempt at the champion battle!

Rainbow-Sasuke: You get Butterfree, which must be caught as a Metapod and named PENIS, and cannot evolve until it reaches level 38. Must solo the Champion's Cloyster. If your rival's Eevee evolves into Vaporeon, you lose the challenge for match-fixing.
