Welcome, welcome, so it seems as if you've [stumbled] upon my Challenge! All I have to say is:

Happy Hunger Games.

Now that I've got that whole Effie Trinket thing out of the way, let's get on with the rules, shall we?

Rules
1. You MUST have Twenty-four Pokemon by the fourth Gym. Those are the only Pokemon you can recieve throughout the whole game. No more catching any after.
2. After the fourth gym, you must sell all your Pokeballs.
3. No legendaries.
4. Once a Pokemon faints, it's to be released or put in the PC.
5. No using Pokemon Centers or PokeMarts for healing items. Healing items are fine IF, and only if, you find them on a route, town, cave, etc. Consider them gifts from the sponsors.
6. The Challenge ends when you beat the Pokemon League[R/Y/B/FR/LG/R/S/D/P/Pt], Beat Red[G/C/S/SS/HG], or Steven[E].
7. If you're last Pokemon faints, game over, restart.

Simple enough, right?

If you want to take the Ultimate Challenge, here's the additional rules.

Ultimate
1. All the normal Rules.
2. You must complete the Challenge on a game from every region.
3. The twenty four have to be specific types, following the Districts. The Spoiler tells what type for each District.
Spoiler:
District 12; Rock Types[One boy, one girl]
District Eleven; Grass types[One boy, one girl.]
District Ten; Normal[One boy, one girl.]
District Nine; Ghost[One boy, one girl.]
District Eight; Poison[One boy, one girl.]
District Seven; Ground[One boy, one girl.]
Dsitrict Six; Fire[One boy, one girl.]
District Five; Bug[One boy, one girl.]
District Four; Water[One boy, one girl.]
District Three; Electric[One boy, one girl.]
District Two; Fighting[One boy, one girl.]
District One; One boy and one girl of your choice of types.


So, yeah. Here's the joining form:

I can't dedicate much time to this, but I'll take it on.

ScreenName; I-Like-Shiny-Pichu
Game; Black
Ultimate?; No (though I went with the typings and genders from ultimate.)

I used a random pokemon generator for my 24 (to simulate the reaping). It came out as follows (I've yet to check genders, so it may need correcting):

Spoiler:
12: Lunatone, Omanyte
11: Carnivine, Exeggcute
10: Unfezant, Farfetch'd
9: Spiritomb, Duskull
8: Kakuna, Skorupi
7: Nidoqueen, Mamoswine
6: Darmanitan, Monferno
5: Yanma, Kricketune
4: Politoed, Lanturn
3: Mareep, Joltik
2: Gallade, Lucario
1: Persian, Donphan


I assume since the typings are so specific we are allowed to hack in eggs/level 5s? If not I cant really do this challenge, since getting those types would be impossible.

Edit: Also the team posted above is exactly the Pokemon that came out the generator, I will obviously be starting with their pre-evolved forms

I'll echo here and ask if we can trade/hack in Pokemon towards the beginning of the game? I did use a random Pokemon generator for mine, and I don't think most of it is actually possible since most of them are from other regions.

ScreenName: Psyanic
Game: Emerald
Ultimate?: No, but maybe later.

Oh yeah, my team. The genders are listed as boy then girl.
Spoiler:
12: Tyranitar, Lunatone
11: Cacturne, Venusaur
10: Noctowl, Spinda
9: Gengar, Banette
8: Vileplume, Qwilfish
7: Swampert, Nidoqueen

Took a while to get my first stupid update up xD I debated on making a comic, but it's too much work. Maybe later.

Spoiler:
-Okay, so this part is where I start saying all the little things everyone does when they start, so yeah. I named myself Ptolemy and chose Mudkip as my starter. His name is Atlas.

-Hacked in a Torchic named Queezle, since that's what my district thingy choice was. Caught a Wurmple, for a Dustox. I never figured out if it was gonna be a Dustox since he died. Queezle and Atlas leveled up a bit, then I hacked in a Corphish named Codran.

-We partied and killed other things then we moved through all the way to Rustboro. Hacked in a Nidoran (F) named Ianna. She evolved shortly after.

-Beat Roxanne, but lost Codran in the process. I also got a Mankey named Buztuk to replace him.

-More fun story stuff. Got to Dewford and beat Brawly with my awesome team.

-Slateport! Random story stuff again and then went to the rival. She didn't hurt anything at all. I also got an Oddish named Nittles.

-Arrived at Mauville and did random stuff. Hacked in a Charmander named Ammet, a Gastly named Castor, and a Larvitar.

-Beat Wattson into the ground. Got to Verdanturf, more stuff, etc. On the way back, I missed a trainer and I battled them. Nittles took a critical hit and died!

-Rock Smash'd a few things and went up. Got to Fallarbor without too much trouble. Caught a Spinda in the process. Went to Mt. Moon and I hacked in a Lunatone since I got it wasn't in Emerald.

-Beat Team Magma. By here, I had a Nidoqueen, Blaziken, Swampert, Primeape, Gengar, and a Pupitar.

-Beat Flannery, except her Torkoal freaking killed my Primeape with a critical hit Overheat.

-Now going to Petalburg to battle Norman. Went halfway through the gym before Ianna died from a Counter from a Slakoth.

-More grinding since I need a better fighting type. Got a Heracross and a Kabuto, which I'm training for now.

You can't use pokecentres in this challenge can you? How are you getting your PP back psyanic?
Here's how I'm going to try and play it (This is just in theory, it might not work in practice.) After each pokemon in my party completes a battle (Whether it be wild or trainer.) it gets sent to the end of my party. After all six have battled, I write down their health, heal them in the pokecentre and get a new team. When it cycles back around to pokemon I've already used before, I subtract whatever health they lost in their first battle. So if a pokemon lost twenty health points in its battle, whenever the pokemon gets to 20 HP (Unless I use a found potion.) that will count as their death.

After District One, each district's pokemon will be one level lower than the one above it (Every pokemon will be in it's final form though.)

Screen Name: PandaSpiker
Game: FireRed
Ultimate: Yes

Every pokemon was RNG'd. Not sure which will be male and which will be female. I have the base forms listed rather than the final forms.

District One: Tentacool, Hoothoot
District Two: Machop, Poliwag
District Three: Electrike, Raichu
District Four: Mudkip, Corphish
District Five: Paras, Yanma
District Six: Charmander, Houndour
District Seven: Phanpy, Quagsire
District Eight: Bellsprout, Gastly
District Nine: Misdreaveus, Shuppet
District Ten: Spearow, Eevee
District Eleven: Seedot, Chikorita
District Twelve: Shuckle, Corsola

I found it interesting that I got the fire starter form Gen I, the grass stater from Gen II, and the water starter from Gen III.

Ok, now I'm gonna choose (reap) my Pokemon (Tributes) for the 1st Annual Samurott01 Hunger Games! You'll notice that I will only choose Pokemon listed in the certain region's (arena's) Pokedex.

Spoiler:

Kay, here's how the listings will go:

District __:
boy tribute
girl tribute

Spoiler:

District Twelve:
Onix
Graveler

District Eleven:
Victreebel
Exeggutor

District Ten:
Tauros
Raticate

District Nine:
Haunter x2

District Eight:
Crobat
Arbok

District Seven:
Sandslash
Dugtrio

District Six:
Flareon
Arcanine

District Five:
Beedrill
Parasect

District Four:
Blastoise
Gyarados

District Three:
Raichu
Electrode

District Two:
Primeape
Machoke

District One:
Slowbro
Pidgeot

The Pokemon for District One were randomly picked, while I chose the others.

EDIT: Okay! So, I looked up "pokemon leaf green online" and now I'm apparently playing Pokemon Green (the actual Japanese version)! So, that changes things! Is it okay to do that?

EDIT (AGAIN): Actually, I found Pokemon Blue on the same website and Blue is the same as Leaf Green in a way.

My last and final update. Good challenge, even though I spent about 20 hours just grinding to make sure I didn't die.

Spoiler:

-Beat Norman with training Heracross and my Kabuto. Kabuto died from a stupid Counter. Somehow.

-Went over to Fortree City, ignored Wattson. On the way, saved some scientists and grinded and beat my rival easily. No losses at all.

-Heracross just died at Winona. That was stupid on my part to use it, but I thought Rock Tomb would be enough. Eh. No other troubles.

-Trained up Ammet to a Charizard to replace some empty spots. Went to Mt. Pyre, then to Lilycove.

-More story stuff. Yay.

-Traveled to Mossdeep and helped Steven kill things. He totally sponged all my attacks.

-Then looked for the sub, found it, that's it. Nothing interesting. And this starts my whole completing the story deal. After getting Rayquaza to stop the fighting, I battled Juan. He was fairly easy and Castor with Giga Drain just murdered his team, except for Kingdra.

-Then grinded and went to Victory Road. None of my team died, partially because I only battled like 5 trainers.

-Went to the Elite Four. Got through the first few easily. Finally could waste my potions here, since I was saving them from the beginning.

-Drake almost killed Necho! My Tyranitar, but I had a Max Potion.

-Wallace actually gave me a fright. I got through most of his Pokemon fine, except he killed Castor with Milotic somehow. Then he killed Atlas with a Critical hit Surf. Finally got Necho to Earthquake it, but he kept using stupid potions. Necho got Toxic'd while taking it down.

-His Gyarados was the last thing left. Necho eventually died from poison because I couldn't heal it. I only had Queezle with me, and she saved me with Slash. Wallace kept using Full Restores like a punk.


So yeah, I finished the challenge. I only had one Pokemon left after I got through the Elite Four that was trained. I had a handful in the PC, because I just didn't like them.

Hey, sorry 'bout the lack of updates but I've been VERY busy with school work. Anyway, sorry for the false alarm, but this is NOT an update. About the whole online thing, I decided against it. I will just use my [broken] computer to play it and hack in the Pokemon that I can't obtain by the SECOND gym. Well......


Happy Hunger Games! :classic:

I'd like to do this challenge as well, but I was wondering if it absolutely had to be updated here.
You see, I'd like to do it in a crudely drawn comic, since it is pretty much a Nuzlocke challenge with a Hunger Games twist (which, ironically, I had been considering doing BEFORE I found this thread. I just had no ideas what the rules would be, so THANK YOU!)

I was also wondering if I might be able to add a few personal rules?

If so, then...well, Happy Hunger Games~!! (And may the odds be EVER in your favor!)
Username: SevenShirokami
Game: Platinum
Ultimate: Hrmm... No, just the type rule.

Oh, and by the way, the personal rules I was wondering about would be:
-Using ONLY the very first Pokemart (like the Cornucopia, you know?)
-Nicknaming all Pokemon with names that are similar to/reflect the names of the tributes in the books. (i.e. a Budew named Rue, Squirtle named Finnick, etc.)
