I believe that I had one of these in the old thread but I forgot which one - I plan on doing them all again one day.. So here is the first sign-up:

Username: AoTora

Single/Ultimate?: Single.
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.

Love is the only power that can change an enemy into a friend. ~ Martin Luther King.

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.

I'm going to restart my Kalos game, Y (again). May I suggest a rule addition? No starter pokemon? As soon as you can get rid of your starter for a replacement, then you're required to do so?

This includes (For Kalos's sake) any gift starters after you've started your journey.
I'm going to be assigning each class a number. Then rolling an e-dice to pick for me. Will edit with results!

Spoiler:

1. Youngster
2. Lass
3. Bug Catcher
4. Hiker
5. Scientist
6. Poke Maniac
7. Sailor
8. Black Belt
9. Fisherman
10. Psychic
11. Firebreather
12. Sage
13. Policeman
14. Aroma Lady
15. Dragon Tamer
16. Triathelete
17. Veteran
18. Doctor/Nurse
19. Pilot
20. Fairy Tale Girl
21. Ninja Boy
22. Swimmer
23. Burglar
24. Gym Leader Master
25. Elite Four Master
26. Base Stat Master


9. Fisherman. Sounds fun!

Lol, anyways, I'm beginning now. Thanks for the challenge!

Version: Pokemon Y
Single/Ultimate?: Single

EDIT: Also, if you use http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/, like I am, you can find your specific trainer type on the wiki there. Listed will be a team roster for every single trainer of that trainer class down the page for every game. I think it's a better reference tool than simply classifying each type with certain standards. Just an idea

I don't think this would be necessary because if a starter doesn't fit in a trainer class, then it can't be used anyway.

Also, if you use http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/, like I am, you can find your specific trainer type on the wiki there. Listed will be a team roster for every single trainer of that trainer class down the page for every game.

That's exactly what I did.

Anyways, I added you both to the OP, have fun.

Unfortunately, it won't be counted as Ultimate unless you include Gen VI.

I can add these as singles if you want.

Somehow I thought this was the case and I don't Own a gen 6 game.. what a bummer. Since my sign-up was accepted in the old threads, even though X and Y was playable. But I guess you can count them as singles.

I like the Idea of this challenge, however, I can't help but want to restrict myself even more!

The Supreme NPC Trainer Challenge: You may only use pokemon that the specific trainer type has used before.

I'll skip on this challenge for now, love the creativity though!
