    The Duo-Species Challenge

    The Challenge:
    The Duo-Species Challenge is a challenge where you use two, and only two Pokemon to complete a game.​

    Rules:
    1. You can only use your two Pokemon you signed up with. You cannot use any other Pokemon under any circumstances, if both of your Pokemon faint, and you have HM Slaves, you must let them faint, not battle at all. NFE Pokemon are allowed to be used, and you can use as many HM slaves as you need.
    If one of these apply, you may hack at the beginning at level 5 or lower, or as an egg. (HAs and Egg Moves are allowed, as for IVs, idc)
    2. To complete each game, you must:
    RBGYFRLG - Defeat your Rival as Champion
    GSCHGSS - Defeat Lance (Kanto and Red are now optional)
    RSEORAS - Defeat Steven(RSORAS*)/Wallace(E)
    DPPt - Defeat Cynthia
    BWB2W2 - Defeat Ghetsis(BW)/Iris(B2W2)
    XY - Defeat Diantha
    3. Legendaries are not recommended, as they will take away the challenge, but you absolutely can if you want.
    4. Pokemon-Amie, Mega-Evolution, and Z-Crystals are banned. Super Training is allowed.
    5. You can sign-up for Single, Ultimate, or Rule-Free. Single is one game, ultimate is one game of each generation, and Rule-Free is no rules, just play however you want.
    6. Hacks are allowed, but full hacks are not allowed in Ultimates. Enhanced Hacks (eg. Blaze Black, Sacred Gold) however, are allowed in Ultimates.
    7. Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hacking/Trading Rules: (These are a must read)

    Added. :)
    -------------------------------------------------------
    I have an update of my own.
    I started FireRed, hacked Houndour as my starter, and hacked Shuppet on Route 1, I also use a code to get the National Dex so they can evolve.
    So far I've beaten Brock and that's it.
    My Team right now:
    Shuppet Lv.14
    - Knock Off, Screech, Night Shade

    Houndour Lv.13
    - Leer, Ember, Howl, Smog

    Update:.
    A few things:
    1) I cannot find White 2
    2) The action replay has now broken I'd just entered the codes in too...
    3) My computer is broken.
    This pretty much means that I cannot do any congestion that require changing the games 'mechanics (hacking etc.) Plus, my computer is far from being fixed meaning I can't play an emulated games. I'm afraid I'm going to have to withdraw my form :`(

    I wish more people would join this, lol.
     
    I finished my Salamence/Metagross run. :)

    - Aerial Ace
     
    I planned that playthrough for some time even before this challenge appeared and since this challenge looks identical to what I'm gonna do in Alpha Sapphire, here is my signup:

    Username: Kostucha
    Version: Alpha Sapphire
    Single/Ultimate?: Single for now, may do Ultimate later
    Pokemon: Beedrill, Butterfree

    Just got the game, can't wait to start :D

    Edit:
    Finished the challenge ^^
    The beggining and Roxanne battle were quite harsh, since both Beedrill and Butterfree, when I got to her, stopped obeying me (as I couldn't get them there in eggs, had to hatch them earlier). I had to rely only on luck D:. After that I didn't have any bigger problems, however Steven's Armaldo was quite a big problem. Final team:

    Beedrill the Maja lv. 75
    -Thief
    -Brick Break
    -X-scissor
    -Poison Jab

    Butterfree the Emanuel lv. 77
    -Shadow Ball
    -Bug Buzz
    -Sleep Powder
    -Psychic

    Question: Is PokeSweet Version allowed? I know you said only hacks like BlazeBlack but this game is basically Kanto, the storyline is only alightly different, but it's mostly nade up of Double battles so I thought this would be worth it. :3
    If yes:
    Username: DyingWillFlareon
    Challenge: Single
    Game: Pokemon Sweet Version
    PokemonSweets: Fudgasaur(Venusaur) and Cupcat(Persian).

    If no then please just say so. ^~^U

    Normally I'd say no, but I'll change the rules to make Full Hacks only not usuable in Ultimates.
    So go ahead and use it since you're doing a single.

    Have Fun.

    Thanks.~ ^_^
    I'll update after I get a few badges or so....
     
    I'm gonna go ahead and do Scizor and Pinsir in X, trading both in right before Viola.
    And I'll trade in their Mega Stones as soon as I get the Mega Ring.

    And I finally finished my Houndoom/Banette ultimate by completing Black 2.
