    Hi everyone!
    This is my third challenge so far, and this one will be difficult!
    We all use HM slaves (personally like Buddies term) in our challenge, as they are necessities!
    Well, now it's their time to shine! Sure, they can be just pack mules, who will happily follow you on your quest, but they can also pack a mean punch!
    By playing this challenge, you will probably never look at them the same way again!

    Rules:

    1) No hacking or cheating! This challenge is suposed to be hard, so what's the point of participating if you'll cheat?!
    2) You can trade pokemon within same generation(region) of the game you're playing! That means you can trade pokemon from FR to LG, or Ruby to Emerald, BUT NOT from FR to Sapphire...
    3) The challenge for each game is completed once the Elite Four is beaten for the first time (except in the second generation where it ends when you defeat Red). At said point, you can then begin with the following game.
    4) The games are played in this order:
    Kanto(BRY or FRLG)->Johto(GSC or HGSS)->Hoenn(RSE)->Sinnoh(PDPt)
    5) All pokemon must be considered as HM Buddys, and as such, they can have only HM moves in their movepool! So no Flamethrowers or Earthquakes!
    6) Legendaries are not allowed!
    7) Other moves are allowed till the first (attacking) HM is obtained!

    Post your progress on this thread, and with each new update post your team(pokemon and lvl.) and current game progress (badges).

    If you have any questions or ideas you want to share, just Pm or VM me!

    You will be added to player list once you post your first update!

    Sounds tough, but I'll do it. I just need to look over a Uber/OU list, and I'll be fine... Most likely, I'll start with Pokemon Blue, like usual.
     
    Technically milotic would be allowed under your rules I would like to point out it is not OU. Not participating just pointing out a mistake for you.
     
    Not really participating now; I may try it on a ROM at some point, but... Just thought I'd point out that the OU tier is for competitive battling. Not in-game. OU 'Mons are classified as such because they're extremely useful in actual battles against other people. In-game ir doesn't really matter what Pokemon you use; battling CPUs is a completely different (and much easier) matter. Banning Ubers is reasonable, but really it's not game-breaking to use a Jolteon or an Infernape in-game. Especially if their entire moveset consists of HMs anyways.
     
    Fine, If you really want it, you can have it!
    All pokemon exept legendaries are allowed, but they, as all other pokemon in this challenge must have only HM attacks!
     
    where in your first post says no legs or OU, i don't even know how this discussion started XC, anyway i may try it, but i figure if i use silver, i can still use normal moves till i get cut, not just use flash 40 times till i get struggle?
     
    OK my first update:
    Got Charmander as my starter, and, well started my journey... I caught a Rattatta and Pidgey, which I plan to keep through the rest of the game! went through the forest and beaten Brock! later on I caught a Nidoran, male, and continued to the Viridian! Misty was difficult to handle, due to not training at all, and her Starmie being very strong! But I managed to pull it off, so the journey to SS.Anne to get my first Hm, and my officially first allowed move! Then I realized that the Pidgeot can only learn Fly, so I dumped Pidgeotto... :(
    Now I have to beat the gym!
