I'm assuming you want six team members, if that's too many just choose from these: Walrein, Granbull, Scizor, Hitmontop, Sceptile and Dusclops.

Remembering something, I went North from Mahogany town and got Sludge Bomb. In the following gym, Peter one-shotted Pryce's Seel with it, Dewgong put up a bit of a fight until I remembered that Edison has spark and Piloswine was taken down by Maggey with two fire punches.

I easily beat the Rockets in the main part of the radio tower, annihilated the redheaded stepchild's team, rescued the manager and finished off Team Rocket once and for all.

Maggey evolved on the way to Blackthorn City, where I promptly destroyed Clair's team. Unfortunately, I apparently didn't have anything that could learn whirlpool apart from Edison, so I headed back to Ecruteak and caught SLAAAAAAAAAAVE the Suicune. So much resetting...


Went back into the Dragon's Den and got my badge before heading to the Indigo Plateau via New Bark Town.

Again, I easily beat the redheaded stepchild's team. Before undertaking some rather intense grinding.

Pre-Elite Four Team:
Spoiler:

I should probably feel bad for going back to using items in battle for this last fight but...I don't. Lance cheats, so using items is fair game.

Elite Four, defeated! :D

Final Team, as above with an extra two levels to Edison and one extra for Maggey and Sandy.

Final thoughts:
MVP: Edison. Maggey's a close second though.
LVP: Sunny. Sunflora are kinda useless though, so it was to be expected.
One Trick Pony: No one comes to mind.
One I would use again: Magmar, Lanturn, heck, they were all either really impressive and fun or...didn't see enough play for me to be certain of their badness.

I assume it's not actually over until I finish the Kanto gyms though, right?

In any case, since that shouldn't take too long, here's my final list.

Game: Pokemon Black
Number required: 6
Specific requirements: Type variety.

Ok I'll start right away, Using all 6!
But I'll hack in Scizor (Can't trade and have no metal coat) , Hitmontop (Not patient enough to figure out the equilibrium between attack and defense) and Snubbul!
I guess my emerald will finish if Steven is at long last defeated!

And you have this team!
Milotic, Torterra, Accelgor, Audino, Honchkrow and Chandelure!
How's that team, eh?

Edit:
First update
Named self Shiro
I got my beloved starter that will be my first pokemon :) Named him Ao
I had to adjust my clock first, stupidly enough......
Met my neighbor, May and her family. I ran of outside afterwards. Prof. Birch didn't have enough in him to just run and grab a pokeball to fight zigzagoon, so i fought for him.
After some talking and fighting, I received my pokeballs, interesting stuff those, being able to shrink huge pokemon the size of skyscrapers to fit in your pocket. :P
AFter some hacking, I got my 3 more pokemon, Aka the Scizor, Momo the Snubull and Macho the Hitmontop
Got to petalburg and helped Wally catch Ralts. Always wondered how he leveled up Ralts.... Did he growl his enemies to death?

@pokepokemo - you're on the Challengers list. Enjoy!

@tachikaze316 - I actually hadn't realised there were no E4 rematches in Generation II. The rules state that you have to beat the E4 at their highest level, so you've already done that, and your Crystal leg is complete! Well done. One more game and you're our first Ultimate Champion... I've added you to the list for Black, which should take a bit longer as beating the E4 at their highest levels means the challenge is complete when you beat Alder. Enjoy!

Update 2 :

Rustboro city, the city with Devon in it!
After some travel, Rustboro is in sight!
I trained a bit before challenging Roxanne, She was a breeze anyway!
Some TEam AQua grunt decided to mess with Devon, so i kicked his butt!
I got the reward, the POkeNav.....
Battled May, so on and so on...
Then I went to Dewford! I couldn't beat Brawly, so I met with Steven first! Then Itrained more. After all that I couldn't beat BRawly, so I went ahead to Slateport!
Beat MORE Aquas and beat Brawly, I used Soda's, YAY!
Brawly = Cheat
He always OHKOed my guys before Ao went to Lv 20

"Milotic, Torterra, Accelgor, Audino, Honchkrow and Chandelure!"

That's a great team, I'll get started tonight!

@Sammu: Was the intent that all 16 badges should be collected? 'cause I kinda feel like I'm abusing your exact words to skip out on half the challenge.

Also, with Accelgor and Milotic, is it okay if I just hack them in already evolved? Since I can't trade and I'm not familiar with how hacking B/W to change evolution methods goes. Obviously I'd be keeping them as last minute 'trump cards' after everyone else has fainted because frankly, they'd be overpowered for the first few gyms.

Umm... well, I guess the original intent was to get all 16 badges, but I've already added you to the Champions list now, so don't feel you have to. The main aim of the challenge has been met already, given that you've used the Pokemon you hadn't had a chance to use before.

As for hacking, yeah that's fine. They would be a little on the strong side for the first few gyms, but don't feel like you can't use them. This challenge is meant to be on the lenient/fun side, so there's plenty of leeway.

Well, okay. If you say so. In other news, I has an update! And two random ideas I may continue with or may drop. Not sure yet.

I started the game, chose the female trainer and named myself Tachi. I chose Oshawott as my starter for HM reasons. I battled Cheren and Bianca, ruining my room in the process. I went downstairs and got my x-transciever. Visited Bianca's house, where her father was worried about letting his only daughter out into a world full of man-eating coffins and ship sinking jellyfish. What an unreasonable jerk. Am I right?

I visited Professor Juniper and got my pokedex. When I left the lab, I recieved a town map from my mum. Heading onto Route 1 we got the obligatory catching tutorial and then I got to work. I hacked my team in at level five before heading to the next town.

WHY THE HELL DO I NEED A POKEMON CENTER TUTORIAL!? Ahem...I mean...Do Game Freak think the fans of their famous, ridiculously popular game series are getting dumber over time?

Anyway, after that I went out to the center of town and saw Ghetsis giving a speech. He seems pretty cool. And he's definitely not the main villain. That would be silly.

I battled N. Turtwig almost beat him, but had to switch out just shy of the final blow.

Murkrow: Achievement Unlocked: First Blood: Get the first KO.
KO Stealer: Switch in and KO against an opponent in the red.

After healing up, I headed out onto the next route, where I recieved some running shoes and battled Bianca. The battle went fairly well...

Audino: Achievement Unlocked: Totally still an award: Be the first to faint.

Going into Striaton City, I healed up and went to the obligatory trainer school where I battled Cheren. As expected, he wasn't much of a challenge.

I went into the gym and battled Cilan. After beating his Lillipup, I realised something, I gave the 'serious' rival the starter that half my team is super effective against. Oops. Um, anyway, the battle went fairly smoothly and I got my Trio Badge.

Achievement Unlocked: Make it...triple?: Get the Trio Badge.

Team:
Spoiler:

Accelgor M Lv.8 Mild
-Leech Life
-Acid Spray
-Double Team
-Quick Attack

Thoughts: Dreadful. I think he got rotten IVs since his special attack is lower than Murkrow's. He's lucky to last two rounds against most pokemon and...acid spray, despite what I'd thought, isn't a good move. Although that may just be his weak Special Attack.

Highest speed, lowest defense.

Murkrow M Lv.10 Modest
-Peck
-Pursuit
-Astonish

Thoughts: Despite the all physical moveset and Modest nature, he's still been a strong member of the team. He handled Cilan's Pansage on his own, despite only being level 8 at the time.

Highest HP, special attack and attack, lowest special defense.

Turtwig M Lv.10 Timid
-Tackle
-Withdraw
-Absorb

Thoughts: Hasn't really had much of a chance to shine. I believe the only reason he's level 10 is because he got an absurd amount of experience from a purrloin in the gym. He's decent, if a little weak. Not a fan of the nature.

Tied for lowest special attack.

Milotic F Lv.8 Careful
-Water Gun
-Water Sport
-Wrap

Thoughts: I haven't used her much. Water gun's not particularly good for damage and she levels up so slowly, she's got 1106 experience as of this point, the closest is Murkrow on 727, who's 15 away from level 11. I know she'll become good eventually, but it's such a chore to level her up.

Highest special defense.

Litwick F Lv.9 Hardy
-Ember
-Astonish
-Fire Spin
-Smog

Thoughts: So far she's been decent. Not particularly amazing, but far from unusable. This is surprising given that just about every Patrat and Lillipup I've fought knew bite. She's slow, but I know she'll be an amazing special attacker once she's evolved.

Lowest HP, attack and speed.

Audino F Lv.8 Rash
-Pound
-Growl
-Work Up
-Refresh

Audino hasn't really had much of a chance to shine. So...there's really not much I can say about her. Um...yeah. Eh-heh...

Highest defense. Tied for lowest special attack.

After a battle that I aced with my rival May, I proceeded to travelling beneath the cycling road. Nobody liked that place, full of paralyzing pokemon and stuff.....
Anyway I entered Mauville and immediately trained my pokemon.
Momo the Snubull finally evolved into the grander Granbull, Yay! :)
After sufficiently training my pokemon, I quit training for a while and challenged the gym. The gym leader Wattson proved to be a challenge.
I mean, my usual team would have had a Combusken there, so I had to reset my plan. The final plan came out to be: For the first few guys, use Granbull and knock 'em out real quick. then fight Magneton with Grovyle and Hitmontop. The Manectric would be fought with whatever I had left.
But it turned better on the very first turn! Voltorb used Self Destruct! Barely damaged Momo. I call that, the useless kamikaze attack!
Turns out that this team requires significantly more training time than usual

Afterwards, I picked up my servant (thought saying a slave is to..... harsh), Poochyena. Thought it Rock Smash

Current Team and My assesment:
Spoiler:
Momo the Granbull
Lv 24
Bite, Tackle, Charm, Tail Whip
Intimidate
Bold nature
Remarks: A good fighter, with huge attack, his tackle usually takes out half the opponent's hp if there is no damage cut from type match-ups. I could probably make use of tail whip better, but I hate battles that drag on for too long, so I usually I spam Tackle with a bit of Bite. Worst Sp. Defense and Speed.

Ao the Grovyle
Lv 22
Bullet Seed, Absorb, Fury Cutter, Quick Attack
Overgrow
Hardy nature
Remarks: This guy could use some points in the physical Attack category, Has the worst attack of all my pokes. Ao's best attack according to me is Fury Cutter with a no type drawbacks. But since Ao's attack is bad, it stays average. Bullet seed is good to, but heavily relies on luck, so my starter Ao is average. I dunno what happens if he get's Solar beam or Giga Drain, but it should power him up significantly. Seeing as his Sp. Attack is not bad at all.
Worse Def and Atk of all.

Aka the Scizor
Lv 22
False Swipe, Steel Wing, Pursuit, Quick Attack
Swarm
Rash nature
Remarks: A great guy stat wise, this man has the best Def and Atk of all my current pokemon. His best attack is probably Steel Wing, since it receives STAB and has support from monstrous attack. He ain't fast, but it doesn't effect him much. I don't know whether it's because of his lack of appearance, bad match ups, or something else but this guy doesn't shine so great. But still, this poke is by no means bad.

Macho the Hitmontop
Lv 22
Triple Kick, Rolling Kick, Revenge, Pursuit
Intimidate
Hasty nature
Remarks: A well balanced guy that I personally like very much. His newly obtained Triple kick is awesome, and Revenge chops away a lot of HP regardless of type until now. So this guy is a personal favorite. Brick Break would be awesome with him.

@Kimbo: Definitely!

-blahblahblahcutblahblahblahdreammistblahblahblahlolfourthwall
-Went to the dreamyard, couldn't take 5 steps without Bianca opening her mouth
-OHMYGOD THE KNIGHTS THAT WANTED EVERYONE TO RELEASE THEIR POKEMON IN A POKEMON GAME ARE EVIL! O:
-Curbstomping ensues
-Got the C-Gear and an unskippable tutorial >.<
-Beat up kindergarteners for their lunch money
-Beat Cheren, the kindergarteners were more trouble
-For some reason let a group of Team Plasma grunts pass, found out they stole a girl's pokemon
-Beat up the grunts, returned the pokemon
-Headed to Nacrene
-Grinding forever!
-Beat N easily
-Museum tour! I bet that the only item he said is nothing special isn't a plot device, that'd just be silly...
-Turtwig evolved in the last gym trainer battle
-Beat Lenora. Accelgor got beaten by Herdier, which proceeded to get defeated by Milotic. Grotle got Watchog down to 1HP before fainting. >.< Audino went out and got put to sleep immediately and was knocked out before she woke up. Milotic went out and finished it off.
-Team Plasma showed up and stole a dragonite skull

Team:
Spoiler:

Accelgor M Lv.15 Mild
-Leech Life
-Acid Spray
-Double Team
-Quick Attack

Thoughts: Well, he's not AS bad as he was before. The low defense and lack of any strong moves still lets him down. Overall, he's probably not the worst member of the team, but he's far from the greatest.

Audino F Lv.15 Rash
-Pound
-Retaliate
-Work Up
-Refresh

Thoughts: She didn't really have much in the way of decent attacks before this gym, so I didn't expect much from her. Which doesn't really do much to excuse the general badness. But at least she's meant to be a source of free experience and not a badass member of the champion's team. >.>

Murkrow M Lv.15 Modest
-Wing Attack
-Pursuit
-Astonish
-Haze

Thoughts: Well, he's lost the highest attack stats, although a dusk stone should fix that up. He didn't really see much use in this part though.

Grotle M Lv.18 Timid
-Tackle
-Razor Leaf
-Curse
-Rock Smash

Thoughts: Pretty much solo'd Watchog, so that's pretty good. Um, other than that, he's good. But not standing out too much in my mind.

Milotic F Lv.16 Careful
-Water Pulse
-Water Sport
-Wrap
-Refresh

Thoughts: Water pulse has made her so much more useful. Admittedly, leveling her up still takes a bit, but she's got good enough speed and special attack that most battles aren't an issue.

Litwick F Lv.15 Hardy
-Ember
-Night Shade
-Fire Spin
-Confuse Ray

Thoughts: So...many...bite users. >.<

Thanks in advance! Been itching to do this challenge for a while now and now I finally have the time for it. :D

Any specific requirements?: Um, all I ask is that my team be balanced and that I have something, don't care what type, that can AT LEAST use Flamethrower. It's my favorite move, therefore I gotta have it. :P

Thanks in advance! Been itching to do this challenge for a while now and now I finally have the time for it. :D
Give it a go with:

Torkoal (Flamethrower)
Starmie
Grumpig
Swalot
Rhydon
Banette

Hope it's ok that you don't have a Fly Pokemon - you can always pick up a Taillow and keep it just for Fly purposes if you need. Enjoy!

Thanks! I usually don't have a Flier anyway, so it's no big deal. Question though, since Gulpin is so far away, is it alright to use other Pokemon I listed up until the point I can get the team I'm assigned? I mean, I could trade over an egg or two since everything is so far off, but it's a bit of a hassle. So yeah, is it alright to use, say, Zigzagoon, Makuhita, and Slakoth for the beginning up until I can get a Gulpin?

You might as well just switch in Linoone for Gulpin in that case :)

Try it with... Pikachu, Aron, Azurill and Zubat. Hopefully you can obtain the Pikachu through trades, otherwise you have to wait till the Safari Zone... if that's not OK then switch Shroomish in for Pikachu.

Wait can i still evolve them?? And is it ok if I hack my starter so I get Pichu as my starter instead???

Yes and yes :) You can evolve and hack as much as you like. This is a pretty lenient "challenge" - it's really designed to give you an opportunity to clear out your PC boxes of all those Pokemon you never got round to raising.
