As you are no doubt aware, Pokemon X & Y has been announced to be released worldwide in October later this year. If you’ve seen the trailer, you’ll know the respective legendaries are in the shape of a Y and an X. Since the game is a little ways from being released, feel free to participate in this challenge as a sort of celebration for the new generation! The challenge is to use a team based off of the letters X and Y, in a couple of different ways. First off, Pokemon which are literally in the shape of an X or a Y are on the lists, Pokemon with patterns that resemble X's and Y's are on the list, and female only Pokemon (X Chromosome) and male only Pokemon (Y Chromosome) are also present. I have lists below, as well as rules and the sign up sheet. It’s the first challenge I’ve made, so here’s hopin’ it doesn’t bomb.
Rules:
Spoiler:
1 - Only use the Pokemon on the list, unless you provide a sufficient argument otherwise
2 - The lists are based off of Pokemon body shapes, general patterns, and chromosomal genders, X and Y
3 - HM Slaves are allowed
4 - Legendaries are not on the list and will not be accepted
5 - Hacking and trading in Pokemon you can’t get is acceptable, although it shouldn’t be a problem
6 - You must have at least one member of your team by the second gym
7 - You can complete this challenge on any main adventure game or hack that follows the story
8 - Be sure to specify whether you’re doing a single run or an ultimate run, which is where you do each region
9 - The challenge ends when you beat your Rival in R/B/Y/G, when you beat Red in G/S/C, Steven in R/S/E, Cynthia in D/P/Pl, Alder/Iris in B/W/BW2

I don't calculate stat values, I don't breed my way to perfection, and I don't care about natures. I catch my Pokemon the way they are, and treat them like individuals instead of brainless drones. If you use this philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature.
