Hey all! I present to you with a simple little challenge I came up with...
A Smattering of Stones!
Basically, the idea here is to only use Pokemon that evolve by using a stone. This sort of challenge really narrows the selection of Pokemon you have to work with, and also forces you to choose wisely as far as when to evolve your team.
The Rules:
1. Your team can only consist of Pokemon that evolve with a stone. At the beginning of the game, you can play like normal, but as soon as you can catch a Pokemon that evolves with a stone, you have to ditch your starter and go with the stone Pokemon. A full list of pokemon that evolve by stones can be found here.
2. ALL STONES MUST BE OBTAINED IN-GAME! No trading over from another game or hacking in. This adds to the challenge, especially in G/S/C, where you can't really get stones until after the Elite Four.
3. No hacking/cheating. If the Pokemon you want isn't available in-game, you can hack or trade in up to a maximum of HALF your final team, but either at Lv. 5 or an egg. Also, you must have gotten at least one gym badge before you can hack something in - this will ensure that you are forced to use an in-game Pokemon.
4. There needs to be a minimum of three Pokemon on your team - otherwise, this is nothing more than a slightly restricted solo/duo run.
5. HM Slaves are OK, just box them when in a gym or E4, and don't battle with them, obviously.
6. Hacks/ROMs are OK, I guess.
7. The challenge ends when...
8. Have fun and enjoy the challenge!
Possible Variations
- "One Pokemon, One Stone" - only use one of each stone, i.e. only one Leaf Stone, one Thunderstone, etc.
- "One Stone Type" - only use one type of stone. Remember that the stone has to be legitimately obtained in-game!
ULTIMATE Challenge - Go through one game per region. Teams don't have to be the same, so as long as the rules are adhered to.
And that's about it! Sign-ups and challengers listed below!
