This round is going to be a loooooooooooooooooong one it seems...

Really, how it is now you need a Protection charm at a perfect timing to not be New Game'd :knockedou

I came up with some new sabotage items (One was Bowzinators idea):

Shop/lottery items:
Imprison; Item: The targeted player must forget the highest power move of each pokemon on his/her team (Doesn't affect pokemon that have alredy been imprisoned once)
Embargo; Item 1: The target cant use items the next 1-3 days
Embargo; Item 2: The target cant use items in game the next 1-3 days

Lottery only:
Grudge; Item: Is hidden like counter, and also activates when you're hit by an item. When activated, the item that activated it will be removed from the shop and lottery.

I don't think I'll use items that actually affect Pokemon and gameplay (other than having them boxed and what not things are already hard as they are)

Where are you Mhyrr, you have a lot of progress done, and yet no protection charm

maybe because he knows that he is screwed

(I'm the nice one though, I didn't go out and buy a Black Out the momement I could afford one)

Three blackouts and five players can't be good. o.o I think that, if people want to win, they'll keep using blackouts on each other once they get the points. And then once everyone reaches this point in the game again, it'll happen again, sorta like a cycle. So next time I think there should only be, like, one Blackout. Or maybe only a lottery item like you said. :P Or, of course, make it worth like, 500 points. xD
to my infinity,
you are beyond~

If you are blacked out you can either start your new game with the type you were already playing with, or you can pick an entire new one BUT if someone previously used a sudden change on you you cannot use any types that the spell blocked.

Also Hacki I'd like to know how you had time to ask that question but not play your game for half an hour on Day 7 D:<

DAY 8 OF CHALLENGE
Notes: Just for the sake of getting past Beta mode so we can do the real challenge someday, the Black Outs you guys have, congrats, you may only use that item one time. Once you use it you may never purchase a black out again so use it wisely (I violated my pinky swear but this will never end if I don't put a little restriction)

Events
Item lottery, the Friend Ether item goes to Myrhhman

Day 8:

Starting Points: 30
Inventory: Phoenix Down, Pocket Watch (used), Black Out
  • Beat Giovanni with Hyno.
  • Beat Rival xxx.
  • Got a Rare Candy(+5), TM05(+5), and a hidden Full Restore(+5) in Victory Road.
  • Made it through, didn't fight any trainers.
  • Faced the Elite Four after using all my Rare Candies.
  • Lorelei: soloed by Nidoking (Horn Drill).
  • Bruno: soloed by Kadabra (Psychic).
  • Agatha: Hypno and Kadabra teamed up here, Hypno did most of the work with Psychic.
  • Lance: Muk was a total surprise here, beat Gyarados with Thunderbolt and the 2 Dragonair with Sludge. Nidoking beat Aerodactyl and Dragonite with Rock Slide.
  • Champion xxx: soloed by Nidoking (Horn Drill).
  • After the credits rolled, I was short on time. I didn't know if I had enough time to make it to Mewtwo.
  • Anyway, I headed to Cerulean Cave.
  • Max Repels didn't keep the encounters away, but I soldiered on, and finally reached Mewtwo.
  • Caught him with the Master Ball! Do I win? I think I do.
End Day 8.

Screens:
Spoiler:


I ended with enough game time to spare to account for the credits. I got fortunate not to get Blacked Out before I started this day, and I was also fortunate that I was able to beat the E4 in one try. I also had a more balanced team effort in the Elite Four than my team levels indicate.


Final Team: Nidoking L50; Muk L44; Kadabra L37; Hypno L39; Vileplume L25 [boxed]; Staryu L15 [Surf slave, never used]

Final Points: Start(30) + Pokedex(2) + Hidden Items(5) + Valuables(5) + TMs(5) =47.

You people with the Black Out needed to be a bit quicker it seems...

Welp it's kinda good because we all know this next round will be fool proof and be awesome. Suggestions can continue to go here those who wanted to help me with format get a hold of me.

And we will do Gen 3.

I know, everyone else kind of stumbled at the end...and I had the most items used on me I think (Sudden Change, Freeze Frame). And Laure, I had one of the Black Outs, so it was two others who didn't use them, lol.

I think we should have some discussion of the items and stuff here, maybe post a preliminary list and stuff, and then once we agree on it, then we can post the next thread.

Well I'm writing rules and instructions down now and something is bugging me.

Jes said I shouldn't make points have to do with winning the game (my idea of 3 people finish but the one with the most points is the winner) because the purpose should be to buy items, but all the items anyone cares about (wrist watch, black out, etc we decided should be lottery items so many people wouldn't be spending their points. Idk.

Also I want this to be a lot like an rpg within an rpg so I thought about quests. For example what if it was something like "Catch all Pokemon and obtain items in this cave" if you completed that you'd get a special treasure chest that contains all sorts of goodies.

Also what will the challenge itself be? Aren't you all sick of monotypes?

I just want to say that while Nidoking was the clear MVP on my team, the other three main members (Kadabra, Hypno, and Muk) all contributed significantly (and Vileplume was okay for a while too). Hypno in particular was invaluable against Psychics, and Muk was necessary in taking down Lance's Gyarados in particular. Kadabra beat Bruno by himself, but he really wasn't able to do much else in the E4, although he was very useful during the game especially since he had Dig.

Here are my final movesets:
Nidoking: Earthquake, Horn Drill, Strength, Rock Slide
Hypno: Confusion, Hypnosis, Body Slam, Psychic
Kadabra: Psybeam, Recover, Dig, Psychic
Muk: Disable, Thunderbolt, Minimize, Sludge
Vileplume: Mega Drain, PoisonPowder, Stun Spore, Sleep Powder

Well, one idea that has merit is to reduce the amount of points or actions that gain points.

Also, I was thinking that you should have to have every team member within 5 levels of each other at the end of the game or something, so that what I did wouldn't be possible, soloing at the end with Nidoking (although I actually didn't solo as much as I thought I needed to, and I used most of my Rare Candies on him at the end too), and the game would also go slower since you have to put time into training your team, especially if you have to change types or someone gets boxed or something.

As far as the ending for Ruby/Sapphire, maybe it could be capturing Rayquayza, although a capture at the end seems lame because all you need is the Master Ball. [email protected] does have merit though, since you have to look for it and could potentially get shut down or overtaken.

I think something we could do if [email protected] is the ending moment is that a Sudden Change used on someone looking for [email protected] would have to beat the E4 again with the new types or something, so they aren't immune to that particular item. That would give others time to catch up and extend the game.

I also think there should be a Lottery item that takes away points on its own (not the Friend Ether).

And there should be more than one item given away each day, but not to the same person, and the second roll shouldn't include the Black Out.

As far as the actual challenge, I'm fine with the dual monotype. Not sick of them yet! I'm not real sure what other challenge we could try. The Sudden Change item would need to be changed however.

Here's an idea relating to the rankings, for the future though.

If we are able to find a way to do different challenges, we can keep track of how players finish and give them ranking points. Every time we finish a game/challenge, we add it to our score. That would also allow us to replay games (with different challenges) as well.

anyway, there's some random thoughts. anybody else?

For Gen 3 it should be you have to catch both Rayquaza and [email protected] That way someone cant just masterball both for the win, making it slightly more difficult.

I dont think the pocket watch should be lottery only, i think it should just cost more.. maybe 50 - 60. I think thatd be more reasonable. I think there should be a lottery item that lets you cut a players time by half.
75 points- Half life - cuts a chosen players playing time by half for 3 days or something like that

maybe an item that forces the trainer to level their pokemon say like 15 levels before continuing from a place they are at. Kinda like a double edge sword cause itll slow them. but also give them an advantage for later stages.

And and and each competitor must take a screen of there game time and team after every play, (Perhaps emulating would be easier for this)

Team members must all be within 5 levels of each other before important parts in the game?

So many ideas so little time!
And i also think that everyone should have a chance to finish the challenge on the day the first person does, cause thats fair, then maybe remaining points or something could be the decider of the winner?

Crap.

Good Game.

Well, i actually purposly didn't use my black out, only cuz i wanted the game to end..

(surrrrrrrre)

:3 i'll post ideas later, but uh gg


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Ok, so for the challenge itself, i am sick of monotype.

Lets do some sort of username challenge, like the letters of your name (say if i name my char bowser) have to be the leters of the first letter of the pkmn you catch

Well, uh Items are getting some good ideas, i like a lot of jespokes, but uh

I luv the quest idea, its epic :3 and we need to see more of the friend ether that item is freaking win :P

All right, so here are some grabbag item ideas.

Well, actually, what if say you catch a pokemon, and its ability is stench, than you can bad smell 20 points from someone of your choice or something :3

Ok well that would be confusing, but it could work....

Hmmmm yes Jespoke I'll just copy and paste all those bombs when it is time to set up the forum lol

I agree all Pokemon should be five levels either higher or lower than each other (maybe that's why I'm so far behind because that's actually how I level up my team lolz)

As for proof for 3rd gen I'll be playing a hard copy again, everyone with an emulator should post their pics, but as you seen in my post we live in an age where we have a camera in everything so it isn't too hard to take a pic of your gba.

Okay as for challenges I was either thinking:

1. probably no one remembers but I had a season challenge, it'd be something like that where depending on the season you get there are certain types and colors you're forced to use, but there are types as well as move sets that are completely banned from your party

2. I have a list of all the traditional challenges (I will be a nice person and there will be no Nuzelocke) all the different types that could be used for monotype, duotypes again, trio species, maybe scramble challenge, and a few others and randomly a challenge will be assigned for you

Yeah capturing Rayquaza and Latias Latios would be amazing, I just pray none of you get tempted to enter a certain code into that nice little hack section in your gba emulator

Please Dont Ask why i have so many...lets just say gen 3 is my fav gen :3

Anyway....

Uh I dont have any way to take pics other than uh point to webcam and shoot, i dont know what the quality of that would look like :3

I like the season challenge thing i say we should do that :o

SO wait the next challenge is gonna be the gen 3 games? (Yesssssshhhhhhhhh)

Well now that the full fledged round is starting soon (the first non-beta one uh yeah) i think a ton of people will join, so its gonna be really hard to keep up with everything, but im sure we can think of something :)

But now that theres gonna be say at least 10 people, IM NOT GOING TO BE SPECIAL ANY MORE :(

If there's a bunch of people, could we maybe somehow make it a team challenge? And like you have a point total for your entire team, so if you want to get a really expensive item, then the rest of your team can't get as much. Then, the challenge would be over when like everyone on your team finishes. Could that work?

That way, if there are quests like Laure suggested, some of the people could like beat the challenge, but still go out and do the quests to get points for their team.

So many things to reply to!

The team challenge is a good idea for later episodes (more than 2 teams) well it depends on how many join.

Laure, the next thread will require a lot of work to keep up to date so I will try to be the second poster and update the challengers points, location, pokemon, types etc for you :) because im kind...

I wish the challenge was slightly longer so maybe battle frontier? What about wifi battles at the end?

Anyway, people having different challenges isn't fair but I would love Nuzlocke (its my favourite) but maybe where other people choose your Pokemon would work - The Ones That Got Away or Scramble (even the Egg Supreme)?

I almost joined the seasons challenge so that gets a yeas from me!

Monoletter gets a shout from me or what about just using Team Rocket Pokemon or Pokemon under a certain BST? SO many choices...

PS. I hope my holiday doesn't get in the way on the 17th :(

How about the Youtube Challenge that aragonbird made on his Black/White hack (PureWhite/ Pitch Black its in the Sideshow Showcase)?? Most points wins and extra points for speed :)

I don't know about groups I want to be different than battle royale because this challenge is you on your own, even though it sounds like a good idea for the future, then you could designate people to do things like someone needs to work to end the game by catching the legendary pokemon, someone work on the pokedex to get points, someone work on quests and collecting alchemy items, than whatever team would have the most points when the game ends would win.

Anyway another idea just dawned on me, a way that would force you to take advantage of your half an hour so maybe you could do a quest and rack up points.

Okay for this we will use R/B/Y for example

This is what the beginning of the game would like like

DAY 1 OF CHALLENGE
Notes: Where I put rule changes etc.
Dungeon Master Events:
Today's daily effect is Inflation, all prices of items in the store have increased by 20%
Today's Daily lottery winner is JD the Bud of 20 points
Dungeon Master hands bomb to Jespoke

Level 1: Road to Virdian City
All players have beaten the level, and must shut off their game once they arrive in Pewter City

Player Events:
Laure finished Level 1 with 20 points
Hackii saves on level 1 with 25 points

Okay basically what I mean by levels, is that even though you are free to use your half hour however you want, it ends once you get past a certain finish line, in this case it would be Pewter city, and when I put up the score board you can keep track of how far your opponents are.

For Laure in this example I got to Pewter City so I finished my game
For Hackii he was working on his Pokedex before he got to Pewter City, so he is still on level 1, then the next day of the tournament, no one is allowed to go behind level 2 and so on

I think if you get forced to start a new game though you'll be allowed to accomplish 3 levels a day

What do you think?

I think the season challenge would work best with the Sudden Change item, since some types overlap, if we wanted to not do monotypes. Personally I think the dual type works well. We can always try a season challenge later if we want to and do Emerald or something.

Hacki, using the Battle Tower/Wifi is not a good idea. The challenge is long enough. I was able to beat the Elite Four with such an underleveled team because of Horn Drill(with X Speeds/Accuracys) and Psychic. The rest of the games require a lot more training to face the Elite Four since the AI is a lot smarter as well.

I'm not sure how I feel about the Level idea. It has merit, but the whole point of the points system (especially if we have quests) is to either get points by gathering items/pokedex or speed through particular sections. Maybe we could emphasize this more by assigning lower point values to mundane activities (like rare candies and stuff) and more points to beating all the trainers in an area (Victory Road, Aqua/Magma Hideout, etc.).

For example, an optional quest for R/S could be getting a DeepSeaScale, which requires getting the Scanner in the Abandoned Ship. Something like that would work well, as it takes some time and is out of the way, but the points earned would be good. It's also easy to do, unlike catching a Legendary Bird or something.

I like the idea of capturing both [email protected] and Rayquaza as well, especially since Rayquaza is so strong, so using Ultra Balls might get your team killed :D, and [email protected] is roaming, so you have to find it multiple times to catch it with an Ultra Ball. Who do you use the Master Ball on, especially if you only have one chance to get Rayquaza (no resettng and trying again) so if you fail to catch it, you have to restart your game.

Also, I think there should be more Protection Charms available to buy, especially if we have a lot of competitors.
