Say, about the ultimate challenge, does it really have to be all regions? I found this one sign-up in a challenge where they missed a region in their sign-up (in this case, Kalos), so I'm wondering if it's okay.
Ultimate is usually considered to all regions at the time of sign-up/completion. I remember completing Ultimate Solo Challenge with Nidoqueen before the release of XY and it was considered as Ultimate even after they were released (But I think it was marked as Gen V Ultimate later). And I remember some hosts allowed players to exclude XY from Ultimates when 3DS was still new.
In the end I would say it's on the host to decide what is needed for completing Ultimate run for their Challenge.

Speaking of the one in String Hexalocke, I think that user either forgot to include one game for Kalos.

EDIT: I should send the messages right away instead of leaving them open for several hours and doing something else. I noticed the problem was already resolved.

You might've noticed it, but some of the challenges were labeled with "Challenge" prefix. And new type of threads appeared - Discussion. In an attempt to make this forum place where you can not only put your challenge journals/logs, challenge's ideas, but to also discuss this topic outside the Chit-Chat, we decided to try putting discussions in here. Feel free to create your own discussion threads.

And with that we had to update rules, so check them out before posting.

I wanna make a piano/ukulele challenge. I don't know how to execute that though.
this is totally a crack idea and don't listen to me at all honestly but the first thing that came to mind w this is using only a team of pokemon whose cries fall into a certain musical key. lmfao i don't know HOW you would even begin to construct that though and that requires an ear that i don't think everyone has. plus some of the newer cries don't even really have a musical key. and some are just screeches.

could also consider having to have sound based moves? and everyone has to have a chatot on the team or smth. but that's more music inspired than specifically piano or ukulele. i think a sound based challenge could work as a more broad thing, but you create some harder perimeters if you limit it by instrument.

this got longer than expected whoops.

i have a lot of free time lately between being jobless and our internet fizzling out constantly and i keep getting this light urge to play pokemon, but i just never know what i wanna do. i'm trying to comb through the challenges here and see if anything ignites me, but lately every time i've restarted a pokemon game for either a challenge or a simple playthrough, i just get really bored. any suggestions that might keep me entertained?

Maybe an eevee only run through? Of course, you'd have to hack in eevees...

Eevee is awesome. I did an Eevee solo run through Leaf Green once. Brock was annoying though, after that it went quite smoothly. The champion was a little hard again

Hey,

Are some of you interested by a Dual-Type Challenge ? Think of Monotype but with two types instead of one
I'm seriously thinking about making a thread and I just wanted to know if people actually like the idea. Speaking of ideas, I've already designed 18 trainer classes for the occassion (one for each type) and I have other surprises too

Given that Monotype is one of the most active and popular at the moment, I would say there would be people willing to try it.

Also I'm looking forward to the surprises.

This sounds like a cool idea. If I'd do this challenge, I would personally not use any other secondary typings. So only pure types or pokemon with that specific dual type, to make it more interesting

lowkey thinking about asking for ultrasun for my birthday and doing a random challenge on it. i'm just worried i'll get bored with it since gen VII isn't all that exciting to me, yet for some reason, i have been wanting to play USUM lately. i'm not restarting my UM bc nah fam. lol i was working on my dex but idk why i should continue to bother with that when new games are on the horizon.

speaking of, i wonder what swsh hold in store for how challenges will work. like obviously you can do your standard monotypes, randoms, lockes, what have you, but i'm wondering if anything new will be brought to the table here, like how gen VI gave us the wonderlocke.

Do it! While USUM aren't the best, I'm quite enjoying my Shiny Badge Quest on Ultra Moon right now.

I doubt there will be challenge with the same impact as Wonderlocke had. I just hope GF won't remove Wonder Trading in Galar. If the leaks about some Pokémon having different form while Dynamaxing true, then there could be challenge build on using only them, but that's pretty meh if you ask me.

yeah especially if dynamaxing only lasts a few turns and you can only do it once per battle. i'm hoping wonder trade sticks around too though like. they really struck gold with that feature. it's a fun way to get stuff for the dex and also if you're a breeder or shiny hunting, it's an excellent way to get rid of your stock. i feel bad just releasing a bunch of pokemon off into the wild, but if i can wonder trade it away for someone else to enjoy or potentially use to start a shiny hunt, then that's pretty awesome.

I am looking for a new challenge to replay my Pokemon Platinum, but I havent found one to my liking yet. Maybe anyone here has an idea!
I got plenty of experience with challenges, so it is allowed to be difficult.
I like being limited move-wise or pokemon-wise, but the challenge has to involve me thinking about movesets or my team, so saying "1 move per pokemon" isn't really what I'm looking for. "No stab moves" would be a better restriction then.
Lastly, I don't want to keep track of a lot like a nuzlocke, I just gotta be able to play it all without using anything to track stuff or constantly having to look up something

Does anyone have a good/new/creative challenge to spare? Or maybe a combination of a few things would be cool too.

i had a thread for it but it's inactive now, however i would recommend no move left behind. essentially, you can raise whatever pokemon you want, but you are limited to only the moves that it learns level up and you have to learn everything as it comes along and delete the oldest move. so you know, similar to how wild pokemon work or how the daycare would raise the pokemon. for example, if you caught a kecelon in sapphire at level 25, it would come knowing faint attack, fury swipes, psybeam, and screech. once you hit level 31 and learn slash, faint attack gets the axe bc out of those four moves, it's the oldest. you can get strategic with it (ie. stone evolution pokemon stop learning moves typically so you could plot that out to work in your favor, iirc move relearner moves were allowed for the moves learned at level 1 after evolving a pokemon however you still have to delete the oldest move in the set). i don't feel like looking for the thread but it's around here...somewhere. lol

This does sound like such a fun idea! I could get screwed over big time though xD.
I'd like to have a restriction on pokemon I can choose to use as well, because I suck at choosing. Anyone got an idea for that too?
have you considered possibly merging two challenges? ie. no move left behind challenge + random challenge, random + monotype. that might lead to some interesting things. there's also the ones that got away challenge where you list pokemon that you've never used and are interested in and someone selects your team for you. that's one of my old favorites, however there's no thread for it. i am considering restarting it sometime in august if i get ultrasun as a birthday gift, though.

and if you're still stuck on having pokemon and move restrictions, there used to be a challenge called the scramble challenge where, if memory serves, you do get to select your team, however you have to be assigned restrictions for each pokemon. say i was doing a scramble on emerald and i have blaziken, sableye, and ludicolo. i chose them, but someone else could assign restrictions like blaziken can only have moves with 60 base power or less, sableye must know detect and foresight, and lombre is not allowed to fully evolve into ludicolo until it learns hydro pump at level 49. again, this is an old one that i don't think has a current thread and i am possibly remembering it wrong as to whether or not you choose your team, but i do know that other people assign your move/item/whatever restrictions.

Yeah I was planning to merge the "no move left behind" with a challenge to restrict the team. Something I never used before could be quite fun.
Im not a big fan of randomizing. Scramble challenges I've done plenty of, but they tend to get too easy or too annoying mostly.

I'll probably choose a team of pokemon I never ever used, thank you for the suggestion!

How about having everyone here choose the Pokemon for you? I kinda forgot the name, though.

What about restricting your team based on the types, color or body style?

so half my team in my sapphire random challenge is poison and it's making me want to do a monotype after i finish this + my normal playthrough of platinum. i'm considering playing black 2, but i don't know what type i want. any suggestions? preferrably a type i can make a full team of. shouldn't be too hard considering bw2 has a nice regional dex.

Poison Monotype is something I also want to do. I love Poison-types, but never got around to do Poison Mono run. As for the recommendation for Black 2, I took a quick look through the dex and Dark, Rock, Ground or Steel-types have pretty nice representation in there.

Also I know I haven't been very active in here, but I was preparing Challenge for Get-Together. It's called Let's storm Rocket Hideout, they can't stop all of us! and I recommend you all to try it!
