Challenge Criteria

The idea of this challenge is to switch from the options your the "Shift" status to "Set" meaning that your POKeMON will not have the opportunity to switch in a POKeMON of over bearing strength after KO'ing on of your opponents POKeMON

Challenge Rules

- You must have at least have 2 POKeMON following the moment you acquire POKeBALLS before you proceed past the first route or whatever area you are allowed to catch POKeMON in.

- The above rule being said, one must have at least 2 POKeMON before the first Gym.

- Obviously, as the challenge is strongly based off of. One must have it set to "Set" versus "Shift" in the options in whatever game you may be playing.

- All games in the POKeMON RPG franchise are allowed with the exception of Green and ROM Hacks

- Finishing this challenge with one POKeMON in your party (which, to me, seems rather unlikely) means the challenge is not accepted, nor is it completed.

- No hacked, GS, AR POKeMON, only legitimate caught POKeMON.

How to Finish the Challenge

Beat the Elite Four and the Champion, you don't have to go further then that.

I hate to be a hard-ass, but I would prefer you use the games listed in the rules rather then any ROM Hack, sorry, but thank you.

I'll try this.

Name: Rhodes (not gonna put my real name on here xD)
Game: Heart Gold
PC Username: JD_Kurosaki
POKeMON List: Totodile, Caterpie
The name is more for your character in-game, not your real name so it doesn't matter anyway. xD

At any rate, accepted, welcome to the club.

The challenge has to begin at the beginning of the game so how do you expect to have 6 POKeMON at the get go. Unless you catch 6 POKeMON at the beginning.

I've been being lazy with this challenge, distracted by other games so I'm reediting to another game.

  • Chose Totodile as my ultimate slave.

  • Caught Buzz Buzz the Weedle (EarthBound refrence)

  • Cleared out the Slowpoke Well
  • Decimated Bugsy
  • Crossed Ilex Forest
  • Went to National Park and changed the date on my 3DS to Tuesday so I could participate in the Bug-Catching Contest to get a Butterfree (dispite the fact it only has a 5% encounter rate on SoulSilver)

  • Grinded Killer Bug the Butterfree up to Lv. 17 before getting the Radio Card and taking on Goldenrod Gym.
