Challenge Ideas & Discussion

[Sydian]

I'll be keeping an eye out for it! :) Make sure you know all the rules before posting. OMG. I can't tell you how many challenges that wait on approval that have such bad formatting...it's like...ugh. :( Words can't describe.

In other news, I'm two games away from finishing PUAP (just got White and Sienna left) and I hate Wayward Cave. :(

I'm sorry Syd D:

I like that new Username thing I would have

Chikorita
Hitodeman (Staryu's Jap. Name, no rule against that ;D)
Ashamo (Torchic's Jap. Name, no rule against that ;D)
Onigori (Glalie's Jap Name, no rule against that ;D)
Sirknight (Gardevoir Jap name, no rule against that ;D)
1HMSLAVE ( as in One HM SLave ;D)

 

[Sydian]

EVEN BETTER. If you have a number, you have to use that Pokemon. But that limits it to just 1-9, the Kanto starters. Unless it's like...here's an example.

Jarlorda
Oshawott
Smeargle
Heracross
2 Pikachu
5

Because the last numbers in the name are 25, you could use Pikachu, instead of Ivysaur for 2 and Charmeleon for 5. idk. olol You just have to consider the ones with numbers in the names. So what about symbols and underscores? Or you could use a Pokemon that starts with the letter of that number. That seems like a good one, too.

 

[Enigma]

These ideas are all pretty cool! Maybe for symbols, you use an Unown? I'm not sure. Maybe underscore = Unown U, period = Unown P, etc?

 

[Sydian]

For symbols, I was thinking you could use a Pokemon of that shape, if there is a Pokemon of that shape. If someone has a star, use Starmie, heart is Luvdisc, ! is Unown ! (same with ? Unown), music note is...Chatot? :D Oh, and another thing, what about Japanese usernames? :( That's another thing that's a problem.

 

[chaos11011]

Not a problem. If it's Katakana it's the same basic thing. If someone has a username called ウラタビカプ (Uratabikapu) they have to use this sceme.

ウ= ウインディ Uindie/Arcanine
ラ= ラティオス Rateiosu/Latios
タ= タマンタ Tamanta/Mantyke
ビ= ビクティニ Bikutini/Victini
カ= カメール Kameiru/Wartortle
プ=プリン Purin/Jigglypuff

That means you MUST use Japanese names.

Hirigana you can do the same thing.

た = タ (Replace the Hirigana letter with the Katakana)

And for Kanji say you have


鶏 = Fighting Chicken (Torchic Line?)
恨 = Grudge (Any Poke who learns it)
丸 = Round (Round Pokemon)

And so one

I love the idea of the Username Challenge. If I did do it, I would be using it for R/S/E. Let's see if I can come up with something.
A = Azumarill
L = Ludicolo
T = Tentacruel
E = Exploud
R = Relicanth
N = Ninetales

 

[champagnepapi]

I've been looking for a reason to restart heartgold, perhaps my team could be...
K=Kingler (Great HM slave ;D)
A=Ampharos
R=Rhyperior
P=Poliwrath
M=Meganium
A=Arcanine

I am quite content.

 

[Enigma]

I love all of the ideas, guys! Looks like this will work, and it's going to be a blast for many. I'm at Mauville on my Beginning Letter Challenge, so I should be done by next week. I'll have the thread up then for all to join and enjoy.

 

[Haberdasher]

And I could use...

Hitmonchan
Alakazam
Blastoise
Electrode
Raticate
Dugtrio

Not a bad team. I might have to try that challenge out in the future.

 

[chaos11011]

Meh lets try my name again, but this time no Japanese Names (Awww D:) Leaf Green since it's all good ;D

C = Cleafable (A good wall, and other than the Nido's it's the Swiss Army knife of Pokemon)
H = Hitmonlee (Brute Force = Bruce Lee)
A = Aerodactyl (Oh hai, I'm a Flying Pokemon, has acess to Rock Slide and I'm fast :3)
O = Omastar (My favorite Water Pokemon in Gen I, Surfer obviously)
S = Sandlash (Another Wall, but still packs a punch)
1 = Bulbasaur (I mean who DIDN'T see this coming <3 To bad no evolution)

 

[Sydian]

Okay guys, we can stop posting our names now that we've worked out how the challenge will go. It's just spammy now.

 

[myrrhman]

HEY GUYS I'M BACK!!! I don't know if I posted here yet or not, but yeah. I was super busy with school and now I am super busy with updating the challenges. SO HAI!!

 

[Sydian]

Oh dear me, I missed the warden. Now this place can really spruce up. Oh man you're still using that banned redsaber made? Isn't it like...tainted?

 

[myrrhman]

Oh dear me, I missed the warden. Now this place can really spruce up. Oh man you're still using that banned redsaber made? Isn't it like...tainted?

Well, I haven't really been doing Challenges much. And I haven't been updating my sig much. But yes, as of now I am using that. I think I'm just going to edit it down to Monotypes. Maybe when I finish all of those I might do just Colors, and then after that I might do everything else.

Anyways, I was skimming through this thread and saw someone's idea to make up your own class of trainer, as well as their training style and pretend like you're them. I LIKE THIS. Someone should do that.

 

[chaos11011]

Myrrh's Warden? I want a name D:

I did that "Trainer Class" challenge before, if I recall correctly I did it on Plat. and I had PorygonZ, Alakazam, Magnezone, Weezing, and Muk. Good times, good times.

EDIT I was a Scientist (spelling?)

 

[jdthebud]

Hmm. Both the Trainer's Class and Username challenges are both very doable - you would need a bit more interpretation for the trainers class though. I really like the Username one. It would really spawn some unusual AND different teams, as well as open up the possibility of an Ultimate run. It also adds a touch of personality, and almost nobody would be using the same team, which can happen on ones like the monotype runs and anime challenges.

I will definitely participate in the username one.

 

[champagnepapi]

Firstly, let's all give a warm welcome to our warden, Myrrhman. I'm sure we've all really missed the guy.
Anyhow, I'd only undertake the trainer class challenge if I were a hiker or a bugcatcher, being an Ace Trainer or Pokemon Breeder really takes the "challenge" part out of it, imo.

 

[myrrhman]

From what I was thinking, you didn't use an existing one. You created your own.

 

[Enigma]

I think I may have thought of another challenge. What about a base stat total challenge? Like only being able to use pokemon under a certain base stat total. (I haven't been able to decide on a fair limit on it, if anyone would like to comment on that. :3)
