Personality Test (Gold/Silver or HeartGold/Soulsilver)

[-ty-]

I. Introduction​

Spoiler:

Hey everyone, thanks for expressing your interest in this challenge. I created a personality test challenge a few months ago, but it didn't pan-over well since several people including myself had to evaluate a very long personality test per participant. We could not keep up! But alas, the personality test challenge is back up since I have created a polling system. This is the first of several personality tests. I felt that GOLD/SILVER would be a nice start since participants may use GBC or DS games. However, I do plan to make other generation challenges in the future. If you have any questions just post a comment in this thread ;)​

II. Standard Challenge Guidelines​

Spoiler:

For several tests, there will be a (C), (Q), or (T) after each of three pokemon. If you are using Chikorita, Quilava(Cyndaquil), or Tododile you must use the Pokemon listed before the corresponding letter.

Spoiler:

For example, if a result was: Rattata - Raticate (T), Spearow - Fearow (C), and Venonat - Venomoth (Q).

If you have Chikorita, you must use the Spearow evolutionary line. If you have Quilava (Cyndaquil), you must use the Venonat evolutionary line. If you have Tododile, you must use the Rattata evolutionary line.​

There are several version exclusives and alternate evolutions; there will be in a slash in the results that will separate the gold and silver pokemon exclusives or alternate evolutions. You may select either option.

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

If you complete a test and you see something like this for results: Vulpix - Ninetales/Growlithe -Arcanine.​

​

Spoiler:

A. If you are using Pokemon Gold(HG), then you must use the Growlithe line and disregard the Vulpix line.

B.If you are using Pokemon Silver(SS), then you must use the Vulpix line and disregard the Growlithe line.

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

If you complete a test and see something like this for results: Slowpoke - Slowbro/Slowking.

Spoiler:

You must use exactly one Slowpoke, and you may choose to evolve it into either Slowbro OR Slowking.
​

Spoiler:

If you complete a test and see something like this for results: Eevee - Flareon.

Spoiler:

You must use Flareon since the alternatives were not listed.

Test Bugs:

Spoiler:

• If your results for the WHAT'S YOUR SIGN TEST indicate that you must use Eevee, then you may choose to evolve the Eevee into any of its evolution's.

• The TURNING A NEW LEAF TEST should say Tododile rather than Chikorita!

• I CANNOT EDIT TESTS ANYMORE, but I forgot to incorporate the new evolutions for HeartGold and SoulSilver. If you are using one of these DS games you ARE allowed to use the Bolded Pokemon I forgot to include as options. These include, magnemite > magneton > magnezone; Elekid > Electabuzz > Electrivire; Murkrow > Honchkrow, Magby > Magmar > Magmortar; Mantyke > Mantine
• ; Misdreavus > Mismagius; Tangela > Tangrowth; Azurill > Marill > Azumarill; Gligar > Gliscor; Swinub > Piloswine > Mamoswine; Rhyhorn > Rhydon > Rhyperior; Sneasel > Weavile; Happiny > Chansey > Blissey; Munchlax > Snorlax; Togepi > Togetic > Togekiss; Porgon > Porygon 2 > Porygon Z; Wynaut > Wobbuffet, Mime Jr. > Mr. Mime; Bonsley > Sudowoodo

NEW VI. Rival Challenge Guidelines

Spoiler:

Same Rules and Instructions as the Standard Personality Test, with one exception. The exception is that you must select the least compatible answer for each personality test. Essentially, this team represents the exact opposite of your personality.

For example, if you a question asks which color is your favorite, select the color that you dislike the most.

I hate to sound stupid but I don't like those questions. I don't plan on doing any of those things in the future, I want to do acting, and none of those people are my celebrity crush, All that food sounds disgusting and none of those colours express my mood, there should be more options.

I hate to sound stupid but I don't like those questions. I don't plan on doing any of those things in the future, I want to do acting, and none of those people are my celebrity crush, All that food sounds disgusting and none of those colours express my mood, there should be more options.

I cannot predict the exact options to fit everyone's needs. Let's take the celebrity crush for example. Just select which one is the closest. I am not going to list every single actress/actor. Or, if you are planning on becoming an actor, it seems likely that you would be required to do some type of modeling. Furthermore, there are more than enough options in this test; there are around 6-12 options per question! I also doubt you find all of those food options to be "disgusting", please be reasonable if you have any suggestions.


@ JdBud, I originally had this setup for GOLD/SILVER versions exclusively, but thought that expanding to the HeartGold/SoulSilver would attract some more participants. So I will make sure to make an amendment to the test bug list to include new evolutions on existing gen II Pokemon for those who chose to use HeartGold/SoulSilver. Thanks for reminding me with your team assignment :)


@ everyone...A thank you to everyone who has completed the Tests and Forms! I wasn't sure if I would be able to set this all up so it wouldn't be too confusing. I hope you all enjoy this challenge, and make sure to update so we can see your progress. Any suggestions for this challenge or future challenges would be greatly appreciated.

BEST OF LUCK ;)

I probably won't take the challenge, but I just did the test to see what I would get. First thing is that often I can't answer a question properly, like the mood I am in. Same for the color question. Another thing I don't like is that my team is THIS:

Starter: Cyndaquil
Bright horizon: Farfetch'd
Body and mind: Smeargle
Sign: Sneasel
Magikarp out of the water: Qwilfish
New leaf: Victreebel

This means that I got Cyndaquil, which is a good pokemon. Sneasel is very weak in gen 2, since it speciall attack is low. Victreebell doesn't get any good moves, thus is useless later in the game, Farfetch'd has overall low stats. I don't even want to START about Smeargle. And Qwilfish. I used one. It is good. But it takes AGES to find one!

Nope. You can just catch the Shiny Gyarados; I will make a note in the rules to clarify this! Thanks for your question.

 

[Lezza]

Question can i trade in Lickitung, Aerodactyl and Qwilfish?
Lickitung is found after the 7th gym and will be SO underleved at that point,
Qwilfish is hard to find
and Aerodactyl cannot be found in the game altogther i dont think

 

[tente2]

Alright glad to see this is back up, in a more orderly fashion :3

I don't think I'll sign up this time around though, but we'll see. (It's mainly the selection of the Johto games--Not a huge fan, and right now I'm playing Crystal. X3) Glad the challenge is far more controllable, now though--it's not overwhelming anymore.

Maybe coming up with teams for others was fun, but using pre-made personality quizzes sounds interesting too.
