(Optional) King Arthur: Your team must be based of Arthurian Characters
- I was wondering how you see this? Can you give an example maybe? :)

Also, you have banned types and "your team may consist of" - types. But there are also other types, may those be used or not?
What about a Swellow by example, it is normal/flying. Normal is a banned type but flying isn't mentioned? Other non-mentioned types together with types that are allowed is okay he? (ex. Crawdaunt)

Sorry for these questions, I must have missed some information somewhere I guess. :embarrass

Well, the point of the types list for each Era is for the challenger to use those types that match the Era. Else, it wouldn't really be much of a challenge. So basically, if other types aren't mentioned, you don't use them. Unless they're dual-type and one of the types matches the Era.
As for the dual types with 1 type on the Era types list and one type on the Banned types list.... you can't use those.

Now on to the Arthurian Characters part xD
Basically, you have to choose Arthurian Characters from the list and find Pokémon that match the Era types that would be representative of the said characters. For example, let's say you chose King Arthur. You then think of a Pokémon that could represent King Arthur, like I don't know, let's say Escavalier. And you do that for the entire team.

Chapter 2: Dexter

Spoiler:
As I began to walk away from the abandoned lab, I heard the wreckage shift. As I turned to look, a figure burst forth from underground, launching into the air. He landed on all fours, his figure a slinky, undernourished form. His eyes were milky white, and his hair a pale brown, shuffled in a messy manner. "Who's there!" he shouted.

I stood perfectly still, gripped with fear at the strange being before me. "I may not be able to see, but I can still smell you," he said as he sniffed the air. I noticed a Pokeball clutched in his right hand.

"Y-you have a Pokemon?" I asked timidly.

He smiled. "Yes, I do. You took one of them too, didn't you? You took one of my grandpa's Pokemon didn't you!?!" He screamed at me as he threw the Pokeball. A blue turtle emerged from the ball. It seemed like it had been unaffected by whatever destroyed this place. I drew my ball up, determined to survive this nightmare, and threw it, revealing a red lizard of some sort with a fire on the end of its tail.

The two Pokemon stared each other down for what felt like an eternity before I heard an unfamiliar voice. It spoke in words I could not understand, perhaps speaking that strange language in the newspaper. As I looked around I spotted a small, red tablet computer. I picked it up to see an image of a human silhouette with lines running vertically and horizontally through it, and a separate line moving up and down the image. Suddenly, a laser shot out and ran up and down my body. "Scan complete. Language set to English," it said in a soft, reassuring male voice.

"What?"

"I am a Pokedex mk. X model, portable AI unit. You can call me Dexter."

"Er, hi, Dexter." Suddenly, a picture of my Pokemon appeared on the screen, with a list of 2 moves. "Charmander, level 5," it said.

"Charmander, use Scratch!" I cried, determined yet again. The Squirtle rushed my Charmander, tackling him to the ground. Charmander bared its claw and slashed the Squirtle across the face, breaking free from its hold. It then went on the offensive, assaulting the Squirtle with a flurry of attacks until eventually, the Squirtle fell to the ground unconscious.

"Grrrrrr." The boy scowled. He recalled Squirtle to his Pokeball and ran away. "I'll get that Charmander back! I have your scent! Smell you later!" he shouted back at me.

I fell to the ground, relieved that that craziness was over. "A Charmander, eh? Guess I picked well."

"If you don't mind me saying so, it may be a good idea to move on, the sun will be gone soon and there is an old city nearby, Viridian City."

"Hm? I suppose you're right, it's probably not safe here," I said as I stood back up, and began walking off with my Charmander at my side. I may not know where I am, but I will find a way to get back to my own time. I have to...

then what is the difference between banned types and non-mentioned types o_o? i mean if you can use a dual-typed pokemon whose type is normal/flying while normal is banned and flying is allowed what is the role of banned types?

Any dual type pokemon is acceptable as long as it has one of the allowed types, and doesn't have a banned type. If a Pokemon has only not mentioned types, you still can't use it. Does that make more sense?

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about this, KagamiChan.

Any of those any good? I got really bored at work today.

i think i get it so i cannot have a lunatone in stone age(rock types are allowed,psychic types are banned) but i can have a ludicolo (grass is allowed, water is not mentioned)
I started playing stone age earlier, and am posting my sign up now. Anyhow, that's how I read it too, and I use a Ludicolo too! :D

Yes, you got that right. You can use any dual-types with one type on the Era types list and 1 type that isn't mentioned.

That's the way I understand it, but wait for KagamiChan to confirm this. I don't wanna be intruding on her challenge.
You're not intruding at all, I appreciate the help xD

I was thinking about Ice Age myself, right as I was clicking on the thread xD
Those are some pretty neat ideas, I'll think about it xD but Ice Age has a 90% chance of being added.

I'm really glad to see someone doing an Ultimate version of this challenge o.o

Oh and I just realised what got people confused o.o basically, a typo I made because of being tired and distracted.
As for the dual types with 1 type on the Era types list and one type on the Banned types list.... you can('t) use those.

I like the idea of an early 1900's option, like that Roaring 20s suggestion, but I don't fully get some of the choices in the pitch. For example, what does Dragon type have to do with that time period? That seems more like a ban list to me. And, considering the high mobster activity at the time, I would think that Dark should be an allowed type, not a banned one. Psychic kind of fits in, but I also don't quite get Ice. I certainly think it's a wonderful idea, but imo it needs some tweaking.

EDIT: Maybe instead of the Roaring 20s, it could be the Industrial Revolution, so it can fit more than a 10 year span?

Well, I'm open to all sorts of suggestions & stuff regarding new Eras. So feel free to drop me a VM & stuff. For example, the Post-Apocalyptic Scenario was all LiquidRage's idea. He PMed me and I loved it. And the Medieval Era was built in the trade corner IRC xD
So yeah, just VM me and share your thoughts and we'll work something out o.o

Ice and Dragon because to me, they always seemed quite extravagant types, and the era is dripping with opulence. Dark is banned because the 20s were supposed to be a happy period, and dark is kind of the opposite.

The industrial revolution is a good one. I'd do that.

Update #1
Currently stuck in: Jurrasic Jam
Badges: 0
Team:
Tokay - Treecko - Lv 13
Firmin - Surskit - Lv 7
Xtina - Lotad - Lv 9
Smurfette - Dustox - Lv 10

I'm saving the other two spots for a Lileep and a Numel. I'm enjoying this more than any other challenge because of the thematicness, as opposed to the simplicity of a monotype challenge.

Quick question though - If one of the mandatory requirements clashed with a banned type, what would you do? i.e. on Jurassic Jam, choosing to revive a Shieldon. I feel like the Shieldon would be allowed, because it evidently existed then, even though steel is forbidden. Can we get an official ruling on this please?

Part Two! Hopefully with more progress!
Spoiler:

Mom gave me the Running Shoes. The good thing about the future is that cars and motorcycles are socially awkward and another exercise craze has taken over!
I wish the moms in these games actually did something... like call or visit instead of staying at home and drowning their troubles in Eighties Movies...
"I finished sketching the rare Pokemon's footprints! But they were my own!" I am slightly surprised, and saddened, that this man had not drowned in his bathtub
Youngster Calvin, Bug Catcher Rick, Lass Tiana... Why do all these seven year olds have Pokemon? And where do they get this money?
This poor kid is trapped in tall grass... He will not live to see tomorrow...
Arthur knows the power of the flame! (He learned Ember)
Talked to some random dude. He wanted a statement, he got it. I just hope it doesn't come back to bite me...
A random jerk keeps refusing to let me leave!
I meet Wally, a poor kid with a deadly disease that had claimed thousands in the years since it was discovered. But he's born with incredible luck, as he found a frigging RALTS! First try!
Finally got one of my own as well! It was even a woman!

SAMUS, lvl 4, has joined the team!
Ability: Synchronize
Calm Nature

She only knows Growl though, but she will learn.
Also, I had to grind like CRAZY to find her!


TEAM:
Spoiler:

ARTHUR, level 14
Moves: Scratch, Growl, Focus Energy, and Ember
Ability: Blaze
Nature: Relaxed

SAMUS, level 4

Well, Jurassic Jam is an exception concerning dual-types with one type on the Era Types list and one type on the Banned Types list since you are REQUIRED to revive and use any fossil Pokémon that you obtain in your game.
