[Completed] GT 2021 Pokémon Challenge: Baton Pass

[Eleanor]

The Baton Pass Challenge
PokéCommunity Get Together 2021​

Brought to you by Eleanor, Janp and the Event Organizers team!

This is a collaborative challenge, where you have to work alongside your team members to get everyone in the Hall of Fame. Team planning, discussion, and engagement is wholeheartedly encouraged.

Rules
💧 This challenge can be completed on any main series game, as long as you can extract your save file and share it with people. Usually this requires an emulator, and given the current state of the art, this rules out Sword and Shield as relatively difficult games to work with and get support for. As explained shortly, the whole point of the challenge is to swap save files between players in your team, so this step is important!
💧 With that said, please talk with other team members about what games they can play even before signing up and remember, sharing the game files themselves over PokéCommunity is not allowed by Forum-wide rules.
💧 It's strongly recommended to also use Discord and to join the PokéCommunity Discord server, as that's the best place to share your save files and keep each other updated!
💧 This challenge will run for the entirety of the Get-Together event, from July 5^th to July 19^th, 2021.
💧 For the sake of this challenge, each game will be divided into nine segments that correspond to each badge, plus the League challenge. First segment is from the moment you start the game to the moment you get your first badge, and so on. A certain run is completed when all of the nine segments are completed, the League is beaten, and the credits roll.
You will have to beat the Gyms in order, to keep said segments balanced between each other.
💧 For games set in the Alola Region, segments are obviously different since there's no Gyms! In their place, each segment's end is marked by every Grand Trial, as well as after four specific Trials: the Trial of Verdant Cavern, the Trial of Wela Volcano Park, the Trial of the Abandoned Supermarket, and the Trial of Vast Poni Canyon. And the League of course~
💧 Trading between games is not allowed. Legendary and mythical Pokémon are also not allowed to be used in battle. No exploits or glitches are allowed either...

💧 Each player will have to start a save file of their own, on their game of choice.
💧 Now, the interesting part! Each player can play a total of 12 segments from any game, and will be assigned a set of rules that they have to follow every time they play. 12 segments instead of the usual 9 means a bonus of three, which is meant to provide a satefy net if someone is unable to continue playing the save file they started.
💧 After each segment, the save file must be passed onto another team member, who will play a new segment of the save file that they have just received. The only thing to keep in mind, and that needs to be avoided, is that a single person cannot play two consecutive segments of the same save file. Anything else is free game, feel free to discuss this as a team!
💧 By signing in, you can access an opt-in, dedicated Discord channel for this challenge. This is the place to let everyone know about your progress and about your save file exchanges - also great if you have any question for the organizers or need help with anything! Use command !addrole GT Challenge in either #gt-general or your team's channel to get access to the channel.

Points and technicalities
🔥 Some information for finding your savefiles: for games up to Generation 5, you'll want to make sure that the Game file (.gba, .nds) and the Save file (.sav) have the same name, and are in the same folder (for VBA and most other emulators), or that the save file is in the "Battery" folder (for DesMuMe). Said folder should be located right where your DesMuMe.exe also is.
🔥 For Citra, you have to open up the emulator, right click on the game that you want to play, and then "Open Save Directory". From there, you'll need to replace the "main" file inside with the one you get from here, while also making sure that the name stays the same!
🔥 Sword and Shield could be played with Yuzu, for which the documentation is found here. Keep in mind that it's still a new emulator and most people may not be that familiar with it yet.
🔥 Having to share your save file means that... you have to save with the in-game menu! States (which is an emulator feature usually) are fine to use if you have yet to get your badge, but they work a bit differently. It's better to share a standard save file rather than a save state for this event!
🔥 As for how to share your file, the best way is to just upload it over on Discord, either in private message or inside the GT Challenge channel. In case that doesn't work out, though, other services such as Dropbox or Google Drive can provide another option to share files.

🔥 Points will be awarded per save file, and are as follows:
50 points when a save file reaches 3 badges;
100 points when a save file reaches 6 badges;
200 points when a save file is complete!

Sign up sheet
☘️ Name:
☘️ Team:
☘️ Trainer Class (optional, just aesthetic):
☘️ Games that you can play for this challenge:
☘️ Game of choice (you can write this bit later if you need some time to work it out with your team):
☘️ Player name (in said game):

☘️ To summarize, what you will need to play along is at least one emulator and one game file. You will also need a way to share your save file, preferrably Discord as we mentioned above.
☘️ What you will get once you sign up, instead, is your set of rules and your 12 segments to spend. Please wait until you receive your rules, either in this thread or in the Discord channel, before starting to play! Unlike with other challenges, the rules are active ever since you start the game for the first time!
☘️ Oh, also remember to have fun <3

[Eleanor]

Eleanor's first segment
Savefile played: Eleanor - Pokémon Black (of course)
Segments left: 12 → 11

This save started... very badly. My Oshawott didn't survive the battle against Cheren, forcing me to find another wild Pokémon to replace him with. Said Pokémon happened to be a lv. 2 Lillipup that I had to catch and... didn't survive for long. Amazing.
With two deaths and no money, since I spent it all on PokéBalls, I finally got around to catch a Patrat, a lv. 4 Patrat! That was finally the lucky strike I needed to get going. From there, I got a lv. 4 Lillipup, trained them up, beat N and moved on without too much trouble all the way to Striaton. Aslan can confirm, as we were playing together when all of this happened...
Luckily, the Striaton Gym and the various rival battles were just easy enough. Lillipup put in a lot of work and even landed a crit on Chilan's own Lillipup to secure the badge! And with that done, I can finally pass the save file to... Sheep!
She will find, in the box, both Oshawott and a Lillipup: she can't use them though, because they're also locked in there for her segment too. Only after she beats Lenora, the following person who picks up this save file will be able to get them out of there!

I will also add, Sheep is the one trainer that I will pick for my rule: across all saves, I will only be able to use Pokémon that either I or she have caught. Something to keep in mind, also because I will pick up her own Emerald save for my next segment to complete!

That is all for this little update! I hope you're having fun with the challenge~

PS: You can swap save files over on discord, just let us know that the swap has happened over on the GT Challenge channel. Updates here are very recommended but not mandatory in order to continue playing, of course!

[Duck]

Radio's first segment
Save: Radio's Crystal
Segments: 12 -> 11
Stretch: Badge 1

It was your usual Crystal experience: get starter, get a second mon (this case, a Geodude), beat up the wildlife and then beat up the gym leader for their lunch money.

The cutesy move rule didn't come in effect since nothing could learn it in the span of levels / route up to Falkner.

I've claimed Toddodile, the Totodile as my own in this savefile. Partly because there are a lot of water types, partly because Geodude would be more useful for Bugsy and Whitney, and partly because evolving it would make the pun even more stupid.

Radio's second segment
Save: InsaneBlathers' Ruby
Segments: 11 -> 10
Stretch: Badge 2

Got Miss Selina (Kyle) the Skitty for the cutesy rule since it comes with Attrack out of the box, and focused primarily on SKIPPER (Marshtomp), SHIITAKE 3 (Shroomish) and Selina.

Selina actually did substantial work against Brawly (really surprised me there) due to the magic of Attract hax.

I've claimed Selina as my own in this savefile, because Wattson's next and having the trained grass and ground types ready is probably a better choice. Not to mention that having the cutesy attacker saved means I'll likely not have to backtrack or mess with the move relearner or something like that.

Next segment: WizardOfOdd's Platinum (Stretch: Badge 2)
