Gonna be bored so might as well make this~
...Is this a decent challenge?

The No-Heal Challenge!


Vasquez, thank you for the idea!!
Rules!
  • When you're healing with Pokémon Center, pay them!... What I mean is, waste money on useless items (like Mails), up to the amount that you would have used to heal them. For example, if my Griffy had an HP of 20, I would waste 300 on pretty stuff! Um. But once he hits 21 HP, I now will have to waste 700. You can waste more money (like 1200, 1500, etc.) if you want - but that's the most economical way, to waste just the minimum.
  • You can only deposit and withdraw one Pokémon per completed Gym!
  • You can only use one Potion or healing item (like a Revive) per battle-and-post battle. Eg if I battle Youngster Joey, I can only use one item to heal my Pokémon all the way until the frame (especially if you're hacking) I battle the next person. So choose wisely!
  • Never use a healing move. The list is at the end; it's your responsibility not to use those moves.
  • No hacked Pokémon, because you don't have any heavy restrictions anyways...
  • FUN. HAVE FUN.
Ultimate Challenge:
  • Normal stuff, play through all gens, bah bah bah [Required]
  • Don't use any Pokémon that use healing moves at all.
  • Only use 10 of each type of Potion (and/or healing item) throughout the whole entire game.
  • Do the same thing, but for PP and stats.
  • Play another challenge(s) on top of this challenge!
Notes:
  • Hacks (from the RH section) and Games (from the GD section) are fine, but only completed ones! No betas or alphas~
  • FR/LG is an acceptable substitute for RBY, and HG/SS is an acceptable substitute for GSC. But! If you do choose to use these games instead, you have to finish it to the very end (eg FR/LG instead of Champion, you have to give Celio the Sapphire). Have fun!

Finishing Points:
Spoiler:
RBY - Become the Champion.

GSC - Defeat Red.

RS - Become the Champion!

E - Become the Champion/Defeat Steve. And the seven Frontier Brains...

FR/LG - Give Celio the Sapphire.

DPPt - Become the Champion/Finish all three extra areas.

HG/SS - Get the Hoenn starter from Steven. Also complete any events that are not Nintendo Wi-Fi, like...maybe catch Groudon/Kyogre?

BW - Defeat N/Become the Champion.

Registraaation~
Hey, I'd like to do this for Pokémon Emerald please. I'll probably consider doing DPPt, B, and HG later~
Sydian don't kill me there's not much to "register" exactly.

If you're doing the Ultimate, add on:
I would like to take on the Ultimate! I would also like to take on Challenge [1, 2, and/or 3] also.
Also, please give us a synopsis of your journey at least every time you finish a Gym. More is okay (like, every two or three routes is ideal), but once you finish that Gym, hurry up and post that story!!

:D New challenger!

I've been doing this on Emerald, and I've changed the rules to make it somewhat achievable. Now you can heal one Pokémon for free (by putting it in and out of the PC) per Gym. Also, if you have an HP-draining move, you can use it once per battle. :( I know this is making it easier, but many people don't have the patience for the insane overleveling you have to do to make this possible...so this should make it a tiny bit less of a grind-fest.

Sydian, if you think this is making it too simple, VM me and I'll revert the rules. But as of now, use the rules I have.

Synopsis:
Spoiler:
- Caught a Zigzagoon. Currently using it for Pickup - so I can earn some $$ <3; HM Slave
- Trained a bit more on 104.
- Deposited Wingull, because...:( Well I'll pick it up later
- Went into the Petalburg Forest.
- Caught Cascoon.
- Went through 105, battling and healing (according to rules, obviously)
- All that good stuff, right now training for the Gym
- Dangsit, Treecko fainted :(
- Took out Wingull.
- Healed at PC :\
- So I'm saved at Roxanne. I need a bit more training, and I'm good to go.


Stats:
Spoiler:
Wingull Lvl. 9 [Keen Eye, impish]
Moves:
  • Growl
  • Water Gun
  • Supersonic

Treecko Lvl. 14 [Overgrow, quiet]
Moves:
  • Pound
  • Leer
  • Absorb
  • Quick Attack

Zigzagoon Lvl. 4 [Pickup, naive]
Moves:
  • Tackle
  • Growl

Cascoon Lvl. 5 [Shed Skin, adamant]
Moves:
  • Harden

Poochyena Lvl. 12 [Run Away, serious]
Moves:
  • Tackle
  • Howl
  • Sand-Attack

Easy answer: Then you can't heal.

Other answer: If you bother to keep track of the debt, then you can heal heal heal all you want, but you'll have to pay for it in the end.
