Team:

1. St Patrick's Challenge - The Green and the Gold
Venusaur [It's green in pokedex but I am not sure if it's blue or green in the games]

2. Love In The Clouds - The Valentine
-Favorite Pokemon of your friend [My best friend is not into pokemon and neither is my gf]- One of my friends likes teddiursa the most though but since I'd have to hack that in and since I am not sure if it's ok to hack it in I ll go with my other friend - who likes Eevee the most - so Eevee it is.

3. The Fish Challenge - The Fish
Seaking! I've never ever used Seaking before so this should be interesting :3

4. Challeggs - Eggcellent!
Can I randomly generate an egg or something? Or breed a random couple? I cannot trade since I am playing on an emulator and there are no eggs you receive in this game.

5. Challoween/Haunter and the Carnival of Horrors - The Slasher
Scyther or Parasect- not sure if Parasect would count.

6. Five Nights at Challenges - [REDACTED]
Would spinda count? XD It looks like a rabbit to me - or an azumarill - that is if I can hack either of them in - if not I am not sure which would be the rabbit like pokemon in FR/LG games O.o
 
AoTora, I'd say that the "RBGY users may use a Pokemon who received a baby form in future games." applies in FRLG, considering the need to have beaten the League to access the only egg in the game (AND the daycare), and... I dunno, but maybe wigglytuff counts as a rabbit with those ears?

Challenge complete!

Final Update (#2) on HeartGold.

  • Arrived at Olivine City, where I grabbed the God Rod, and used it to hook Fishy the Chinchou.
  • Trained up in the Lighthouse, then surfed over to Cianwood City, and on the way, Fishy evolved into Lanturn!
  • Defeated Eusine pretty easily, then took on the gym. Chuck wasn't really a pushover but I dealt with him without much trouble.
  • Got the Fly HM, then went to Mahagony Town and up to Lake of Rage, where I killed Gyarados.
  • Lance showed up and invited me on a Team Rocket crushing mission, so I of course tagged along.
  • Went back to the Olivine Gym and OHKOed all Jasmine's Pokémon with Fishsy's Surf.
  • Then it was back to Pryce's gym, where both Okay and Banker evolved, then I defeated Pryce with them.
  • The Team Rocket Radio Tower takeover commenced, and I quickly got through that no problem.
  • Went to the Pokéathlon and won the Power Medal with Redact, Hacker, and Banker.
  • Then I got myself a Shiny Stone from the ether and used it to evolve Cell into Togekiss!
  • Went to Blackthorn City, and after beating all the trainers on the mountain road, defeated Clair at the gym.
  • After getting the Rising Badge in Dragon's Den, I got the Masterball from Elm, then defeated the Kimono Girls in Ecruteak.
  • Scaled the Bell Tower and Masterballed Ho-oh, then made my way to the Pokemon League, defeating Silver along the way.
  • After some moveset editing and such, I took on the Elite Four. Claire was the only real tough one of the four.
  • Lance was really tough since I was underleveled by 8-10 levels. I eventually prevailed with a liberal use of healing items, though.
  • Back home, I got the S.S. Ticket and sailed to Kanto to complete the remainder of my tasks.
  • First, I got the Super Rod, then flew back to the Dragon's Den to fish up a L40 Dratini.
  • Started using him on various trainers to get him into a Dragonite, and eventually did just that!
  • Then I caught Suicune with an Ultra Ball after several tries.
  • My last task was to revive a Fossil, so I nabbed Aerodactyl in Pewter City, and the challenge is complete.

The game feels like a solorun up to this point, as I've only used Patty yet (which made beating Roxanne really easy), but I just caught a Marill. The egg doesn't seem willing to hatch though.

Brawly is a piece of cake when you have a Victini...and a Bagon...and a Grovyle...let's face it, ORAS Brawly is not as difficult as RSE Brawly. Didn't take much effort. After realizing that the other half of my team wouldn't come til about 5 badges in, I caught Poisson the Goldeen to fill in until I can get that Finneon I wanted. Who knows? I might keep it for good. We'll see. After getting the lil fishie to catch up with everyone else, we took on Wattson...another failure compared to his RSE self. But what can ya do? Smashed some rocks and we're off to see what's going on at Mt. Chimney. Also I'm trying to bum rush this.
 
So since a fair number of us aren't looking like we're gonna be done before the end of the month, do you guys want me to extend this challenge?
 
up to you, tbh i'm surprised so few people actually finished i mean i did it in like 3-4 days (granted i have no life and spend too much time gamign but thats nitpicking)
 
An extension would be appreciated because I don't think I'm going to make it. One week would be enough for me, allowing me to focus on my exams first and finish the challenge next weekend.
 
If you choose to extend the challenge would you still accept sign ups?

I'm fine with an extension. I didn't have as much time as I thought I would earlier in the month due to work and a vacation, but now I kinda got laid off so I've had all the time in the world this past week that I spent playing other Pokemon games, but I could bum rush. :P Attempting it as I type this, actually.
