Thanks to the efforts of jdthebud, molivious, and waters_echo, I now have an idea of what could be used in gen 1 and 2, where there is no double battle stuff to support. In gens 1 and 2 you are free to be very loose with interperting this rule. Basically look for a way to make support happen, be creative if you're gonna play those games.

I'll switch out Blaziken for Infernape, I guess. Thanks for The info anyways! :D

I already started the challenge. I hacked the ROM to change the wild encounters on Route 103 in order to obtain my whole team at level 2-4 and 5 for Cyndaquil.

Game: Sapphire
Current Location: Route 116 (East of Rustboro City)
Badges: 0
Progress:
-Chose Torchic as first Pokémon, named it Starter
-Beat May on Route 103
-Caught Eevee (Company), Machop (Mattathias), Cyndaquil (Light) and Delibird (Santa) and ran out of Pokéballs while trying to catch a Tauros
-Stored Starter in the PC
-Moved through Petalburg Woods to Rustboro City
-Bought 20 Pokéballs and walked back to Route 103
-Caught a Zigzagoon on the go (named it Fielder)
-Caught a Staryu (Spin Time!) and a Tauros (Roastbeef)
 
Forum Name: nikkissippi121
Game Version: Black
Holiday: Hanukkah & Christmas

Team will be Chandelure, Excadrill, Druddigon, Audino, Sawsbuck & Vanilluxe. :)
 
Forum Name: Waters_Echo
Game Version: Crystal (with update via. Randomiser, but not randomised)
Holiday: Uh. Not any, really, and saying "Winter Solstice" would be a decided lie, seeings as it is Summer here now

1. By Light of Fire: Typhlosion (fireneck)
2. Spin the Dreidal: Forretress (sppppiiinniinnnggg)
3. Maccabee: Gyarados (such power!)
4. Coming together: Lapras (safeguard all the allies!) (or barrier tentacruel. Hmm) (... lapras with safeguard and rain dance to protect and empower allies!)
5. That Not-Jewish Friend: Exeggutor (Palm tree. Palm tree fits pretty well with the fact that it is summer, right?)
6. Feast of Dedication: uh... uuhhh... uhm. Pilo... swine?

I think I will name the lapras in honour of the thunderstorm we had about two days ago.
Let's see if I can get TM25 from the game corner to make it a safeguard/raindance/thunder moveset...

You think scrap metal tastes delicious, huh?

Anyway...

Sign Up Form:
Forum Name: Pendraflare
Game Version: Black 2 - I almost chose Platinum, but then realized that there are no Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex that can learn Rapid Spin.
Holiday: Christmas

Team:
1. By Light of Fire: A Pokemon with a single burning flame on any of its family (Charizard, Chandelure etc) - Magmortar
2. Spin the Dreidal: A Pokemon who knows Rapid Spin (Claydol, Hitmontop etc) - Claydol
3. Maccabee: A Pokemon with over 110 Base Attack (Gallade, Dragonite etc) - Aggron
4. Coming together: A Pokemon that can use a move in support of an ally (Audino, Volbeat etc) - Umbreon (learns Helping Hand, although I won't be able to reteach it until the PWT)
5. That Not-Jewish Friend: A deer-like, tree-like, or fat Pokemon, or Delibird - Scolipede? (I think 442 lbs with that design counts as "fat")
6. Feast of Dedication: A Pokemon you think would be delicious (This is sort of a free pick) - Crustle

For now this is what I have in mind, but considering this team is very weak to Water, I am subject to change one or more of these before I begin. Nevertheless, let's still go for it.

Game Version: Y
Holiday: Christmas

I thought I signed up for this a few days ago, looks like I didn't :P
 
So since I now can finally start my Christmas Adventure I will!

The team I had decided on:

By Light of Fire: Lucia the Magmortar. The name is based on Finnish/Swedish folklore, where the taught of Lady Lucia is seen as light for the winter's darkness. We celebrate Lucia's day 13th Dec.

Spin the Dreidal: Yom Tov the Starmie. The name is based on Hebrew translation of "Good Days" meaning Christmas times

Maccabee: Alexandra the Hippowdon. Name is based on a Maccabee named Alexandra.

Coming together: Beethoven the Glaceon. Name is based on Beethoven the St. Bernard from the movie Beethoven.

That Not-Jewish Friend: Santa the Rhyperior. Name is based on.. well, Mr. Santa Claus himself!

Feast of Dedication: Feaster the Farfetch'D. Name is a mix from words feathers and feast.

So now you know what's the backround of the team, next up the Update...

3. Maccabee: Meteor, the Golem
4. Coming together: Bolt, the Jolteon (w/ Helping Hand)
5. That Not-Jewish Friend: Heavy, the Snorlax
6. Feast of Dedication: Dewy, the Dewgong

Finally finished this. I don't have pics because I don't feel like taking pics with my phone. :p
I traded a level 6 Clauncher over right before the first gym.

Game Version: White 2
Holiday: Christmas

Used my random generator as usual to pick my team because I am a very indecisive person… but forgot to take HMs into account and am missing three :/ I don't like using HM slaves for this type of challenge because I feel like I'm cheating (even though I don't think I saw anything about not using them) and I hate the inconvenience of using the box all the time, but I also don't really want to go through the process of re-drawing my team so… I don't know.

I'll figure it out tomorrow.
 
I'm posting this more for me than y'all, haha. But this is what my team is gonna look like:

[PokeCommunity.com] Chandelure's Festival of Lights
[PokeCommunity.com] Chandelure's Festival of Lights
[PokeCommunity.com] Chandelure's Festival of Lights
[PokeCommunity.com] Chandelure's Festival of Lights
[PokeCommunity.com] Chandelure's Festival of Lights
[PokeCommunity.com] Chandelure's Festival of Lights

Chandelure is pretty close to being a menorah, so I'm going with it. Same with Claydol, as it is a top, ie. a dreidal. The Maccabees were a rebel army and Haxorus looks like it would have walked out of an army itself, plus it's base attack is over 110. Audino helps people and is pink. I like pink. Sudowoodo is tree-based and since it's so strange, it suits the "non-Jewish" thing since it's kind of the odd man out. Lilligant would be a tasty salad. You know me. Gotta fit in Petilil/Lilligant somehow. :P

I hope to start this tomorrow, btw. Trying to move my boyfriend's stuff off White 2 into Bank, but it doesn't want to connect for some reason.

As for my team, I only have Blaze's first form with me. I'm sure I won't be able to get the rest anytime soon, but here's to hoping! I'll probably update more with pictures of gym leader battles and maybe Elite Four battles.

Alright, here we go. For reference, here's my planned team:

1. By Light of Fire: Infernape
2. Spin the Dreidal: Donphan
3. Maccabee: Absol
4. Coming together: Tentacruel (Acupressure)
5. That Not-Jewish Friend: Sudowoodo
6. Feast of Dedication: Pidgeot

Update #1 on Volt White.
Name: Jd
Starter: Tepig

  • Started with Tepig, then quickly caught Feast the Pidgey on Route 1.
  • After meeting and beating N, I moved on to Striaton City, defeating Bianca along the way.
  • Beat the trainers in the Dreamyard, then defeated Cheren in the Trainer's School.
  • The first gym was a Rotation Battle against Cress. I had to faint my other Pokémon in battle, and Feast barely survived to win.
  • Directly after the battle, Feast evolved into Pigeotto!
  • Moved on to Route 3, where I caught Dreidel the Phanpy, then saved a Pokémon from Team Plasma.
  • Got the Fishing Rod as thanks, so I went back into Wellspring Cave and caught Acu the Tentacool.
  • Continued on to Nacrene Town, then went to the outside of Pinwheel Forest.
  • After many shaking encounters, I finally got Chimchar to appear, which I caught and named Torch.
  • Trained Torch up on the trainers there, and he evolved into Monferno right away. I then defeated N in front of the museum.
  • Took on the gym, and Lenora was a double battle, and very tough - it took my whole team to win even with higher levels.
  • Team Plasma showed up and stole the Dragon Skull, so I went to Pinwheel Forest to recover it.
  • While I was beating the Team Plasma Grunts, Dreidel evolved into Donphan!
  • Eventually recovered the Dragon Skull, and then crossed the bridge to Castelia City.
  • Beat the dancers for the Amulet Coin, then saved.

Alrighty! Decided to redraw the team, and now I've got all the HMs covered. Thank goodness there's only 6 needed. Hate HMs. So much.

Assuming all goes according to plan, projected team is:

1. By Light of Fire - a pokemon with a single burning flame on any of its family
Chandelure
2. Spin the dreidal - a pokemon who knows rapid spin
Forretress
3. maccabee - a pokemon with over 110 base attack
Rhydon
4. coming together - a pokemon that can use a move in support of an ally
Togekiss
5. that not-jewish friend - a deer-like, tree-like, or fat pokemon, or deli bird
Slowbro
6. feast of dedication - a pokemon you think would be delicious
Clamperl

Not that familiar with White2 and don't have a way to trade, so if anybody happens to notice that one of these isn't obtainable until after beating the champion, I'd appreciate you telling me.
