Hello, everybody! I'm deoxys121. Welcome to The Happiness Challenge!

How to Play This Challenge:

The concept behind this challenge is to play through the game using only Pokemon that evolve via high happiness. Due to this, Generation I games and their remakes are ineligible, as these evolutions do not exist in Generation I, and in FR/LG, you cannot evolve them until post-E4. Here is a list of all Pokemon that evolve by happiness:
Spoiler:
Golbat
Chansey
Eevee
Pichu
Cleffa
Igglybuff
Togepi
Azurill
Budew
Buneary
Chingling
Munchlax
Riolu
Woobat
Swadloon


Rules:
  • Emulators and the speed button are allowed.
  • Since the Pokemon that evolve via happiness are relatively rare, and few and far between, you may hack or trade in up to 3 Pokemon early in the game at the low level. If you want more, you must obtain them legitimately. If you want them to have ONE certain egg move, that's fine.
  • You must train the Pokemon from its most basic form. i.e. Pichu, not Pikachu, and Cleffa, not Clefairy.
  • In cases where a Pokemon received a happiness-evolving baby form in a later generation, you may not use that Pokemon if its baby form does not exist yet. i.e. Roselia is not allowed to be used in R/S/E.
  • With Pokemon like Chansey, you will use just Chansey to start with in Gen II and III games, but you will start with Happiny in Gen IV and V games.
  • For Eevee, you must evolve it into either Espeon or Umbreon, since they're the only evos that are based on happiness.
  • HM slaves are of course allowed.
  • Yes, you can evolve the Pokemon. This isn't a challenge strictly for baby Pokemon.
  • For B/W, you cannot add Reshiram or Zekrom to your team after catching it. Therefore, you must have 6 Pokemon on hand when you catch it, whether you battle with them or not. You will then choose not to add Reshiram or Zekrom.
Your Challenge is Complete When:
  • Gold/Silver/Crystal/HeartGold/SoulSilver: Defeat Red.
  • Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald: Defeat the Elite Four.
  • Diamond/Pearl/Platinum: Defeat the Elite Four.
  • Black/White: Defeat the second round of the Elite Four.

Lol ironically I currently have a non-challenge game of Diamond on the go and my team is: Crobat, Roserade, Lopunny and soon to add Riolu (complete coincidence with the evolution methods, just choose some random pokemon to train haha). Currently at Canalave City I believe, but haven't picked it up in a while so I'm not sure.. Would this team qualify even though it started before the challenge began? If so, I'll sign up with it on Diamond :3 The Crobat began as a Zubat caught in Oreburgh Gate, Lopunny was a Buneary from Eterna Forest, Roserade was a Budew caught just above Jubilife and Riolu will obviously come from Iron Island. :p

Pfft! Wow, what a coincidence. Go right ahead, that qualifies. Just keep all the Pokemon on your team happiness evos.
