[Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl] Are you going to play normally, or try a challenge run?

Normally. I will probably save the challenge run for Shining Pearl, if I ever go back to the Ultimate Flying Monotype Challenge I started on here...last year? I don't even remember, haha. But I'm not one who really does things like this, so I'll just play Brilliant Diamond normally.
 
I plan to do a mostly normal run, but with a couple of "rules".

For one, I'm going to box my starter. In my previous DPP playthroughs I always used my starter, so I think this will make a nice change.

And I'm going to research the levels of Gym Leaders+E4 before battling them, and not let myself become higher levelled than them. I'm hoping that'll add a bit of challenge and force me to strategize a bit rather than just OHKO stuff. xD
 
Just a normal playthrough, while trying to put mons I've never used before on my team.
 
for my first (and let's be real - probably only) playthrough i think i'll just play it normally. i'm not a fan of restarting games, so i'd have to pick up the second version to attempt any sort of challenge.
 
I think I'm going to do what someone else on the thread said and just go and box my starter. Never done that before so it could be really fun.
 
Echoing the majority - normally. I'll try to use Pokemon I haven't used before (or not much), but not imposing any special challenges on myself.
 
If they're doing the force Exp Share thing I might do a run where if a Pokemon faints I just box it/release it. Other than that, not planning anything crazy.
 
Been watching a lot of Pokémon Challenges recently on YT, honestly has gotten me huge into the whole "hardcore nuzlocke" thing so I'm for sure gonna try one for BDSP.
 
Normally.
I usually do challenges and crazy stuff at Battle Tower or pvp free battles
