[Event] Halloween Trick-or-Treating Event 2019

[11wildy]

We managed to stop team Rocket in the radio tower! Claire wasn't as hard as usual. Haunter solo killed all Dragonair with Hypnosis + Dream Eater, then Dragonair Hyper Beams the Sneasel, after which Koffing explodes in its face for the win!

I'll take all the last berries and finish the run when I get the final rules.

Thank you for hosting this, I had a lot of fun! And I would still love to know how it is set up :)

Thank you for hosting this event! I enjoyed the format a lot, even though I didn't have enough time to participate properly, having only made it to the fifth Gym. These challenge events are pretty much the only reason I've been coming back to the forum these past couple of years, so I'm looking forward to the next one ^^

Janp, I really enjoy these interactive challenges, it makes for a very interesting playthrough.

Anyway, I RNGed these rules for the red, green, and blue berries:
Red: BIRDS!!!! - Put a Regional Bird on your team. It doesn't have to be regional bird of your region. It can only learn Physical and Status Moves.
Green: A Quiet Place - All sound based moves (Screech, Disarming Voice, Roar, Hyper Voice, etc) are banned from now on.
Blue: First-encounter clause - You may only capture and use the first Pokemon you encounter on each route for the remainder of the game. Your current Pokemon are unaffected, as are gifts.

Not too bad.

Haven't had as much time to play this as I wanted, but I finally did get through the next gym. I did tweak my BIRDS!!!! rule so that it is not restricted to Physical/Status moves, due to how Pidgeot has been changed in this hack.

A Quiet Place

All sound based moves (Screech, Disarming Voice, Roar, Hyper Voice, etc) are banned from now on.

First-encounter clause

You may only capture and use the first Pokemon you encounter on each route for the remainder of the game. Your current Pokemon are unaffected, as are gifts.

The Thing

Catch a Ditto, Grimer, Muk, or any of the Goomey line and permanently put it on your team. Plus one Pokémon of your choice is assimilated and must be perma-boxed.

Toxic Avenger

Catch a Poison-Type and teach it Toxic. It must stay on your team for the rest of the run.

Rectangular Force- GLOBAL RULE

All Pokémon except Ghost, Dark and Poison-types are banned from now on.

Making Frankenstein - GLOBAL RULE

Your team must be composed with Pokémon with different primary types if possible from now on.

Zombieland - GLOBAL RULE

All of your forcefully boxed Pokémon are revived as zombies. They can only use physical contact moves and are immune to the curse that boxed them. But you can't in any circumstances use them on the same team as your current Pokémon.

Fridge Horror

If your Pokémon cannot resist the cold (i.e. is not taught any Fire-type moves or does not resist Ice through typing or ability), it can no longer use STAB moves in battle.

Hexed Hands

Held items can no longer be used.

Update #5 on Renegade Platinum.

• Starting in Veilstone City, I rescued Dawn's Pokedex from Team Galactic and got the Fly TM.
• Sent Brimstone to the box since I need to make room for my regional bird.
• Moved south to Pastoria City and caught Kanto the Pidgeotto along the way.
• After I arrived in Pastoria I continued to Route 212 South so I could finally catch Thing the Grimer.
• Trained up my new team members after teaching them fire moves at the Move Tutor, and they evolved into Pidgeot and Muk.
• Went through the whole of Route 212 South to find Crasher Wake, continuing to train everyone up.
• Back in Pastoria, I went to the gym, and Dread showed up to challenge me.
• His team was tough and I was a little underleveled, so it took a couple tries to defeat.
• Finally in the gym, I defeated all the trainers, then did some moveset shuffling to help with the rain inside the gym.
• Defeated Wake on the second attempt, and now I await my next curse.

I take a blue berry then continue up to room 31. The new rule is "EXP Zero - The EXP Share and Lucky Egg are now banned." Which is just fine since held items are banned anyway, haha.
