Did you participate in any of the following this year, and if so which ones? GT11 Pokemon Challenge, Stadium Arcadium, Carnival of Horrors
All three of them! I finished GT11 and did a bunch of mini-challenges in Stadium Arcadium; as for the Carnival, I finished the Haunter full-game challenge, Gliscor's castle post-game, and did a measly 12 points in Sableye's games :(
If you participated in GT11 or Carnival of Horrors, what did you think of the post game challenge structure?
While not necessarily a bad thing, I feel like there was a lot going on. We had two E4 challenges, and four battle facilities challenges. As awesome as it was to read all the intros and plan my teams, I just wasn't as excited when I actually got to training in-game for the Espurr challenge in X, after finishing a full run of LeafGreen and post-game Unova for Gliscor's castle.
If you participated in Stadium Arcadium or Sableye's Carnie Games, what did you think of the mini challenges?
I love how creative some of the tasks were, especially Sableye's expansion set. Sadly I didn't get to do those, I kept postponing them to finish the Haunter run and Gliscor's castle, and in the end I got sidetracked -- I should've known the last week of October was going to be the busiest :(
Would you like to see The Carnival of Horrors return next year?
Yes, very much. I seriously loved the format, even without being a horror fan, and I want to see it happen again.
If The Carnival of Horrors were to return, should it be smaller next time? (3-4 challenges)
Personally, yes. As someone with a full-time job who plays Pokemon as a casual game and rarely goes into the competitive side of stuff, I think a full-game challenge, a post-game challenge and a set of mini-games would suffice. I wouldn't mind if it's just as big though, all the more things to do for the people who have the time and energy to do more. But what I think would work well is have the battle facility stuff in the mini-games, and maybe have some flash challenges released over the course of the month, I thought the Dia de los Muertos one was a really fun idea.
Do you have any other concerns? (Please do not bring up the Challenge Index, I'm going to get it caught up soon)
What do you think of changing the prefixes in Challenges to be more Gen specific over game specific (with a few for specific regions where it applies)?
I'm not really a regular, I usually show up mostly for the event challenges, so I don't really have much to say here.
