[Discussion] Collected Challenges List - What Am I Missing?

[CatchCanary]

Hello hello! I've spent some time scouring the internet for the most Pokemon challenges I could find (that were not so specific to be practically scripted). I've got them all here, but I want to know if there are some I'm missing? I plan to try these all!

[Explorer of Time]

You seem to be missing the Professor Oak Challenge:

• Catch (and evolve) as many Pokémon species as possible before each badge
• No trading with other games

Also, regarding HMs, most challenge rulesets will allow multiple HM-only Pokemon, especially in Sinnoh which has a Victory Road that requires five different HMs.
