I think I'd be much more of a purist if everything wasn't so fragile in my life at the moment. I don't have most of my carts anymore due to a natural disaster and Pokemon games go for such a pretty penny ya know? That's why I've always been so keen to emulation and all the 'benefits' that come with it.

I don't have very many extra games which is why I use emulators. Though I really only have done Crystal and Emerald on my phone because it's much easier than playing Pokemon on my computer. I just like my Pokemon games (with the exception of the console ones) being handheld hahah. I have another challenge I never got around to doing on my Y after my Nuzlocke but after that maybe I'll tackle another challenge the Crystal version on my phone. It's been a while.

I'm a purist, haha. I like to use my cartridges for my challenges, mainly cause I like to save my teams cause I end up loving those little pixels so much. :) I have only done one challenge on an emulator and that was mainly because the Pokemon I wanted to use needed to be hacked in. The first challenge event here was a St. Patrick's Day green monocolor and I played a Gold ROM and hacked in Celebi, Larvitar, Politoed, and Venusaur. lol So yeah...like most of the team was hacked in, but I had a ton of fun with it! I'm more willing to emulate gen I and II games for challenges since even if I did play the cartridge, I couldn't transfer them anyway. But I just have so many games that it would be a waste not to use them, you know?
I mean if you REALLY wanted to save your teams you could always just save your rom file somewhere and make a copy of it to start over. If you REALLY wanted to.

Oh god, I couldn't imagine doing that for all my challenges... I'd have like 200 save files...

All this talk about ROMs... Well, it does feel more real and special playing on my own system, sort of at least. Not that I have anything against people who speed-up on ROMs, it's more convenient.

I don't think I'm crazy enough to do that, Myrrh. :P But yeah, there are pros and cons to both, but hey, as long as you're doing the challenge and having fun, that's all that matters! I sound like a motivational poster...

*Checks folder* Nice guess, I've got around 200 files across all the generations myself. Whenever I start a new game, I always just rename the ROM to something related to my challenge (i.e. Black 2 - rock" for a rock monotype) and a new save file is automatically created. If I ever want to go back to an old save file for some of these postgame challenges that have been cropping up in events, I just rename the ROM back to match the save file I want to use, and viola!

I don't know why, but I'm really good at guessing meaningless things like this lol. One time some friends and I were just messing around, and one of them picked up a deck of cards, pulled out a card, and said "Guess what card this is?" Somehow, I guessed it right.

And Syddy's right, as long as you're having fun, who really cares?

Let's all just play challenges and have funnnn. n___n That's one of my favorite things about this area. There are rarely any spats between members and everyone's just doing their challenges and talking to others about their challenges and it's great. Y'all are awesome.

I'm almost done for the semester so I can finish up my Wonderlocke! I would say Wonderlocke has conquered an incredible feat. Klippy actually wants to play it, and he doesn't even like Pokemon anymore. AW YEAH. Reelin'em in. ;)

That reminds me of how so many old time players that last played at like GSC or something were brought back with XY.

It's times like these where i'm kinda glad to be running a thread like that :P

I'm almost done with my Wonderlocke and oh god I almost cried a few times. Not because of lost team members but because I've had such bad luck with the wonder trading (Female Adamant Ralts whyyyyy) I barely managed to figure out a team of six and one of my team members I swear is going to end up being used as a sacrifice during the Elite Four.

Almost done with it tho so I'll be making another update soooon and then idk I really liked the challenge so maybe I'll do it again and hope for better Pokemon hahaha...ha.

In three (maybe four) weeks from now i'll have quite a bit more time to myself for challenges, and that's good (: Wonder what kinds of events there will be, too.

II just finished my Wonderlocke so should see about doing my Random Pokemon Challenge that I asked Pokemon for like... months ago before the summer of challenges. Maybe even pick up Alpha Sapphire so I have one more game for challenges as well.

I need to finish mine, too. My Wonderlocke and the Random I started last summer. :P Haha. I have a lot to do with moving out in a week though. But then I'll be smooth sailing. :)

That's something that I know other forums have had implemented, so it's not surprising they'd do the same here. Although I liked when they had different pictures...

Oh, I didn't even notice to be honest. I know that's kind of silly but I've had my head so stuck in my 3DS' screen that I hadn't even looked at the main forum listing. That is pretty neat, I'm sure it'll add some eye candy to the area.

Also, there's no better feeling than finishing something. It took a few months but I completed the ultimate solo Pokemon challenge. Now I just need to figure out what I want to do next. I guess it's back to surfing through challenges till one catches my eye again.

Hey guys, just posted the first part of the summer event stuff! I hope you guys enjoy it. If you have any questions about it or anything, I won't have internet in my new apartment (omg I will show you guys a picture of my shelf y'all will love it!!) until Thursday, but I will try to hop on my phone as much as I can to answer anything that comes up. Really hope you all decide to play it! I'm pretty excited about it. :)
