The Beginning Letter Challenge

    So as the title says, this is the Beginning Letter Challenge. Here's how things work:

    1. Your team must consist of Pokemon that all begin with the same letter. So, if your letter is A, for example, you could use Pokemon like Arcanine, Aerodactyl, Azumarill, Altaria etc.
    2. You DO NOT get to choose your letter. The user below you gets to choose your letter. So when you sign up, remember to include a letter for the above user.
    3. You can only use Pokemon that don't begin with your letter if they later evolve into a Pokemon that does begin with your letter. For example, if your letter is B, you can choose Squirtle, because it will eventually evolve into Wartortle, and then Blastoise.
    4. Similarly, if your letter was S , you would be allowed to have Squirtle as part of your team, but you would not be allowed to evolve him, because neither Wartortle nor Blastoise begin with an S.
    5. Legendaries are allowed. Nobody allows them in they're challenges, so for a change, I will allow them. However, you are only allowed one.
    6. I would advise you don't choose any letters like Q, X and Z, since not many different Pokemon begin with these letters.
    7. No hacking or cheating
    8. Emulators are allowed
    9. Trading is also allowed, but if you're trading a completely new Pokemon over, it cannot exceed level 10. I've included this rule because obviously you can't just trade over all your level 100s and say you completed the challenge. Trading for the purpose of evolving can be done at any level, but the OT of the Pokemon being traded must be the OT of the game you've registered for.
    10. Have fun!
    As the Thread Starter, I can't choose a letter for anyone, so I'll just wait for the person below me to tell me my letter, and then I'll get started on FireRed.

    I like this, a lot. And seeing as I'm suddenly addicted to challenges, I'll do... Diamond, probably. I won't be able to start for a while, because I have a lot of other challenges to do. But I'll do it eventually, I promise.

    Anyway, your letter will be................................*drum roll*

    R

    Enjoy!

    It was just drawn to my attention that there is already an alphabet challenge, only difference being that you get to choose your letter. I'm closing this one, since if you want a random letter, I'm sure you could just ask for one in the existing challenge already.

    Locked.

    Thank you!

    But to the users who wanted to register before this was locked, I'm gonna need to you register again, so that I know whether or not you're still interested in participating.

    I'll also need a new letter, which is a shame because R was a good one. Nevermind.

    I'll give you B.

    I'll probably do this challenge on Diamond, but I won't be starting it for a while yet. Could I have a letter please?

    For you my friends I'll give you a round O!
    I will be playing yellow just to let anyone know. Hrrmm what will I get?

    O is such a weird letter especially that it has only 5 pokemon. 1 is later generation. 2 are of the same family. 2 are unevolved. If I have to continue with this three pokemon team it may be hard fighting through most of it with Onix and Oddish.

    Should I have my letter re-picked or should I still do this with O?


    I'm sorry but I'm just going by the rules:

    "I would advise you don't choose any letters like Q, X and Z, since not many different Pokemon begin with these letters."
