Got a couple more i'll throw in.

Spoiler:

Last two badges of my White Red Mono-Color, neither were any difficult. 200 more points.

I then beat the Elite Four this morning, then N and Ghetsis a little while ago. I believe that gets me the Mono-Color requirement?

It says "completed first adventure", not Hall of Fame. I hope I don't have to rematch the Elite Four and beat Alder, but if I don't (which I shouldn't have to considering N and Ghetsis are way harder than him anyway), that gets me 200 more points.


Finally, I got this from my Fire Red version that still has my Red Mono-Color save from my Ultimate, and got 9999 coins for Porygon.

Points total: 5100

I didn't even notice it myself but due to my mistyping I accidentally wrote that I have 2200 points and added 1100 to them so I typed that I had 3300 points when in reality I had 1100 points adding 1100 points which would be 2200 points total - I am apologizing for that, it wasn't done on purpose~I'd like to thank Necrum for pointing that out for me =)

So I don't have 7400 points, but I have 6300 points in total~ And I am sorry for the confusion that I caused again D:
I don't care about EV's or IV's - I play for fun not competitive.
I don't own consoles - I play on emulators on my computer.

I am a fan of Criminal Minds, Crossing Jordan and some other series. I am also Harry Potter fan and Disney fan (I love Frozen!) - I also like other animes beside Pokemon.

Question: When it says "Fully EV train a pokemon" does it mean
a) "get any pokemon up to full EVs, doesn't matter how many they already had, as long as they hit full during challenge timeframe" or
b) "raise a pokemon from zero EVs to full EVs during within challenge timeframe"?

And now you know what I do when I get bored~

I have no idea if I'll be able to get any more points between now and the deadline, so I'll leave what I have so far here:

-Reached Level 3 of Voltorb Flip. Too Easy! (+100)
-Traded a Machop for an Abra (+100)
-Beat Roark & Gardenia (+100x2)
-Caught Drifloon before it caught me o.o (+100)
-Wondertraded on Y... got a Japanese Houndoom (5iv I think!), (+100)
--and a High Plains Vivillon... named Avis. That's a Rent-a-car place, apparently. (+100)
-Playing Pokemon in the shower is weird, right? (+200)
-Found a strange, Shiny Leaf in SS... (+300)
-I'm a 5 Star Berry Picker! (+100)
-After a bunch of goofing around, Lucifer and I took on the SuperTraining Regiments, and he is now one hell of a puppy! (+300)
-Took a breather after that, and made a Trainer Promo Video (+100)
-After that, we had a celebratory dinner at Le Nah. I'm the "Perfect" Customer, eh? (+100)
-Managed to catch a wriggly little Burmy from a Honey Tree! (+100)

Total: 1900

Also, quick question, "Decorate an awesome secret base with 5 items or more" is that specifically RSE? Cus I thought DPPt had them too... underground.
aaand, to winning a Master Rank contest... Super Contests from DPPt count, right?

Option B is preferable.

I'm not sure how the 2 kinds of secret bases compare, but I think the intention was to use Hoenn hidden bases. As for Super Contests, they are acceptable since they have a Master Rank as well.

Now we have a whole separate challenge's worth of content to throw in!

Spoiler:
I started a Normal Monotype on Y the other day, and marathoned it like crazy so I could get it done within the start of the event and the end of it.

I got all the badges. Of all of them, Valerie was the hardest by far, more details once I post this in the Monotype thread. 800 points there.

I reached the Elite Four, entering at Level 59, none of them were really that hard at all even without items. The Champion was actually a good challenge this time, Goodra was hard what with its big Special Defense.

But we did it! Then we beat AZ and completed the game.

Proof for both the Monotype and the clearing within the event timeframe. 200 points for the former and 300 for the latter.

Total so far: 7600 points
this is my only update so far and i've only had time to play last night due to a ton of workload ;_; nonetheless, I think it was most enjoyable after specifically choosing all that i can do within my timeframe. Here's the roundup:

+100 accomplishments:
- Win a bug-catching Contest
- catch a wild swablu (for my tyranitaltaria E4 duo)
- obtained a Combee from headbutting in Pt
- obtained a Heracross from headbutting in SS
- made an in-game trade for that Onix in SS
- revived myself an Aerodactyl in SS

+200 accomplishments:
- obtained 2 egg moves for newly-bred Ratta (flame wheel, reversal)

+300 accomplishments:
- beat elite four with tyranitaltaria
- conquered the battle factory against frontier brain thorton (49th battle/gold symbol)
- fully EV-trained my altaria (eventually) while training it

Total: 1700...

It sucks 'cause I wanted to do the other E4 challenges and even aiming for Master Rank in contests, but I got no more time to spare. Oh well, glad I made it nonetheless. Sorry for the dark screenies...didn't notice that my app takes em a la WYSIWYG. As for the black spaces and bothersome on-screen game pad. lol. I'm just lazy.

Here's more! Most likely gonna be the last update of mine.

Spoiler:

First, I swept the Elite Four and Champion with my Haxorus in X, from my Hall of Fame team that I had since I first got the game. 200 points.


In Platinum, I got a jackpot at the slot machine. 300 points.


And found Cryogonal in White after over an hour of searching. Provided stats screen as proof I didn't chance my DS' clock.


I played X for a little bit in my neighbor's grove, in between their trees and near some bushes. Not sure how strange a location this counts as, but I put it in anyway. 200 points if it's good enough.


Then I made a Blue Flute on Ruby... 100 points for that.


And transferred my Red Mono-Color team from Ruby to Soul Silver. 100 more points.

Points total: 7600

EDIT: I was adjusting the post I made on the first page tracking all my progress, and when I counted what I had I found 7800 points and not 7600, which is weird. Could someone check them over for me? Not a massive deal but it was odd. Guess i'll count as 7800.

That's 2400 points, i don't feel like doing any more(and i don't have X/Y to do the simpler ones) so this will be my final score.

Final Progress Report

Turns out I had some time for last-minute points!
  • HG Kanto Badge Sweep: 8 badges. All easy except for Blue; I was a bit underleveled but still won. +800 points
  • Joey called me! Was not about his Rattata, but about his failure about catching a Caterpie. :( +100 points
  • Got some real... gems on Wondertrade. I'll show them both because they're special in their own ways, but obviously it's only +100 points
Then -1000 points for crashing my computer while trying to resize my trainer card picture. Don't resize a giant picture to 500% bigger instead of 500 pixels. My laptop can't handle that crap. -_-;

FINAL TOTAL: 6600 points
unless I have any last-minute additions; I'll edit it in.

I had a ton of fun doing this challenge. :D

Sadly, I'm ending with only 3900 points. I would have done more, but it was a pain not having my checklist. Regardless, I hope you all had fun and enjoyed this new kind of challenge. If you're new to this section, I encourage you to stick around! There's always fun to be had in Challenges. :)

Also thanks to Necrum for taking over this for me. Didn't expect to lose my computer during this lol.
