Head back to Route 4 to get Great Ball i forgot about | 106

How did you manage that? You cant get from Cereulaen to Route 4 :/

 

[jdthebud]

How did you manage that? You cant get from Cereulaen to Route 4 :/

route 4 continues after you exit Mt. Moon. there's a hidden great ball. look it up on bulbapedia.

And thanks to Laure, I can't play today, but I want to buy a Pheonix Down item, if you please.

And my team right now is Wartortle, Nidoking, and Magikarp. and Farfetch'd, but he's an HM slave.

yeah i know, I got it myself, but he went from Ceraluean to Route 4, which is impossible after you jump down the ledge that takes you into the town, he said he went back and got it (unless he forgot to note it down) or im having a major facepalm moment!

And I missed out 2 points (for what its worth) on magikarp for not adding on my Pokedex points. Im left with 96 points I believe.

 

[TheBowsinator]

Yeah you are right, i meant that i forgot to note it down, but i worded that wrong lol.

I forget to note things down sometimes...

on another note, who to use my sudden change on ]:)


oh and the magikarp things, so i have 14 points, note that

Laure, i am impresed that you made up such a cool challenge, except me to be an entry in every round untill it dies (it wont!)

Maybe it will get its own thread outside of challenges! :D Its a reallly good concept, so i hope it grows, and good job on thinking up such a cool challenge :)

 

[LaureTheLoner]

I'm not happy with this challenge until we get past this beta phase, and I'd like to stress once more that I'm very grateful JD and Myhrrman are competing because it's helping me work out the bugs so we can make round 2 (which will probably be G/S/C challenge or maybe a 4th gen game) the best it can be.

I didn't know about challenges til I came on this forum to research hacks and I was snagged right away and quickly trying to come up with more. I'm kind of over the Dream Themes thing (since I force my themes upon people in the egg salad challenge) so if Dream Themes died out I'd be fine if I can keep Egg Salad challenge going, it's currently in the works to make it available for other games including gba.

Anyway just because I feel like posting in this topic I'll explain the orgin of this challenge and what I hope to one day change it to.

Back in the day when I was into wifi battling (I don't have much time to do it anymore hence why I haven't looked into it, and everyone does Pokemon Online anymore which takes the fun out) I was reading Hunger Games and I don't know what happened but the Hunger Game challenge was created by me.

There were a lot of competitors and they were put on a list, every tournament day (similar to how I announce Day 1, Day 2 on here) two tributes were randomly selected to fight each other in a special themed match. (Region war, species war, monotype, etc.) The winner gained points, while the loser lost points. The list was in order of who had the highest points.

Every tournament day I rolled the dice, depending on the number a special event would happen, like people would be forced to switch points, some people got items, etc. but if I rolled a 6 the person with the least amount of points was killed and out of the game. The tournament would continue until there were 2 people left and they'd battle, whoever won won the game.

But the fun part of it was you really need allies. The winner of every battle also got to take points away from whoever of their choosing, but they were forced to give points to someone else. People would almost make their own teams and such and plot against others using the power of the items since they were allowed to trade and such.

All and all it was the most fun I'd ever had and I've been wanting to make a challenge version.

This challenge isn't where I need it to be yet in the form of that epicness but it's being worked on.

I'm still brainstorming in my head of a 1 player version as well, that will really bring light to replaying your games. I was thinking it'd play kinda like Nuzelocke, but you'd be able to revive your Pokemon, but instead of a Pokemon Center I'd create task to get points to get items and such

but I don't know I haven't had many ideas for it yet

 

[TheBowsinator]

Well of course if you need help with the theme and need ideas, you can allways ask myrrh or me or anybody, just post and we too can come up with good ideas, but that hunger games seemed interesting! (<3'd the books!)

 

[myrrhman]

Hey, I don't know if we count HM's for the points for "obtain TM", so I noted them and made two point tables at the bottom.

Also, on a similar note, will we get points for purchasing TM's? You can buy them in both Celedon Mart and Game Corner.

3rd question: Do the coins on the floor of the Game Corner count for hidden items? There are about 8 (I don't actually know how many, but that seems about right) coins of various values on the ground, and technically they're hidden items.
Day 3 Log:

Points balance: 0
Items: Stopwatch, Protection Charm
Starting Location: Vermilion City

Obtained Great Ball (hidden) (+5)

Ending balance: Starting balance (0) + TMs (3x5=15) + Items (5) + Hidden Items (2x5=10) + Gym Clear (2x5 = 10)= 40 (50 if HM's are included)

One stopwatch, please. Also, I have a question about my charm. If I use it today, will it protect me starting today? Or will it start with my progress tomorrow? I don't think anyone has any bad items, so I would like it to start with my progress tomorrow, so do I wait until then to use it? Or do I say I'm using it now?

Team:
S the lv. 28 Wartortle (Bubblebeam, Bite, Tail Whip, Bubble)
M the lv. 34 Nidoking (Thrash, Thunderbolt, Horn Attack, Poison Sting)
G the lv. 24 Geodude (Tackle, Rock Throw, Dig, Mega Punch)

DAY 4 OF CHALLENGE
Notes: Karpman has been removed from challenge due to inactivity. The ultimate Myrrhman FAQ: If you obtain an HM it counts as the same points as obtaining a TM, No, you can't get points for purchasing TM's, Coins don't count, they are currency not items. (That and you'd have a billion points), and your charm works for you the second you get it protecting you from evil forces, it starts with 3 days left and every time I post a new challenge day it loses a day.

Events
Daily Lottery (item lottery), which includes a Switcharoo, goes to Myrrhman
The Bowsinator completed his daily task with 47 points
The Bowsinator bought a Dark Pokeball leavhing him with 2 points
The Bowsinator used his Sudden Change on JDtheBud
Hacki finished his daily task and purchased a pocket watch and 2 dark pokeballs leaving him with 10 points
JDtheBud changed his type to Poison and Psychic
JDtheBud completed his task with 85 points
Myrrhman completed his task with 141 points
Myrrhman purchased a stop watch and a phoneix down leaving him with 66 points
Laure finished her task with 60 points
Laure bought a stop watch leaving her with 40 points

 

[jdthebud]

I like my idea of having to wait for a couple days before you can buy the protection charm again (if it's still free), this ensures that one person isn't hogging it.

Also, Myrrh, aren't you supposed to have four team members by the third gym? you got a fourth?

Yay, I can play today. My update will be coming later today.

His right Myrrh please get the required party members before you do anything else that could advance your journey (point collection or game advancement)

The End of Day 4 Update

 

[Hacki101]

Id like to buy 2 Dark pokeballs please :) (before I get switcherooed)

Ok so update time (Today was awful for me):

2204 Start in Route 5

Route 11
2218 Caught Drowzee my 4th team member (+2)
2232 Abra evolved (+2)
2235 Found hidden Escape Rope (+5)
Out wiped out by a Magneton :/

SS Anne
2251 Found TM08 (+5)
2256 Found hidden Great Ball (+5)
2304 Found TM44 and immediately saved. (+5)

Basically, I was switch bait training my Pokemon alot with Wartortle being main switcher too and Kadabra when he evolved when he could survive, the soloing the start of the game is catching up to me now :/ Just realized I have been battling every trainer... that must of slowed me down :/

Anyway I am going to buy a Pocket Watch again so I am left with 10 points!

Team:
Wartortle Lv.29
Kadabra Lv.21
Magikarp Lv.15
Drowzee Lv.14

 

[jdthebud]

Ummm...okay I got Sudden Changed by Bowser (grr) so I will change my types to Poison and...Psychic I guess. I'll use my Pheonix Down to revive Nidoking, as he is Poison type.

Goodbye Wartortle and Magikarp...

Do I have to box my Farfetch'd? he's an HM Slave that's all, and I won't use him even if I choose Normal or Flying.

and quit using items on me...save them for myrrh, argg.

 

[Hacki101]

Laure, i think the first post should include some kind of leaderboard or how far people are throught their game... and also I would prefer it if everyone submitted their levels as a comparision!

And I second what Bowser said about this challenge, the best I have seen on this forum and will get better with more challengers! I will be on every sign up list I hope, but I do have a holiday coming up on the 17th...

 

[jdthebud]

Day 4:

Items used: Pocket Watch, Phoenix Down

• Well I got Sudden Changed, so my new types are Poison and Psychic.
• Backed out of the SS Anne and caught Ekans(1) and Drowzee (2). Boxed Wartortle and Magikarp. Nidoking stayed alive thank to the Pheonix Down I bought yesterday.
• Went into the SS Anne and got TM08(1), a hidden Great Ball(1), TM44(2), a Rare Candy(1), and HM01(3).
• Went back outside and used Cut on Dux(Farfetch'd).
• Caught an Oddish(3) on Route 6.
• Beat all the gym trainers, then beat Surge as well, mostly with Nidoking.
• Went back up to Cerulean and got the Bike, then headed to Rock Tunnel.
• Picked up TM30(4), and Oddish evolved into Gloom(4).
• Saved inside Rock Tunnel.

End Day 4.

Points: Start(42) + Pokedex(4x2=8) + TMs(4x5=20) + Items(1x5=5) + Hidden Items(1x5=5) + Gym Clear(5)= 85.

Team: Nidoking L27; Gloom L22; Drowzee L22; Ekans L15

By the way, when you use an item on someone else, it will take effect the next time they play, right? even if they are playing already, it will take effect the next day?

Laure, is the protection Charm going to be available at the end of today? if it is, I'd like to buy it.

 

[LaureTheLoner]

Laure, i think the first post should include some kind of leaderboard or how far people are throught their game... and also I would prefer it if everyone submitted their levels as a comparision!

If you press the spoiler button the first page you'll see everyone's points, levels, Pokemon, and items.
@Bowsinator you can't use an item the same day you receive it, unless it is a lottery prize, and stop attacking poor disadvantaged Laure. Let's be allies and go after JD :D

Day 4:

Laure, is the protection Charm going to be available at the end of today? if it is, I'd like to buy it.

The protection charm's power will falter tomorrow, you can't plan on purchasing it until then

If they use the item before you turn on your game the item's power is active

 

[myrrhman]

Oh yeah, I totally meant to grab a Diglett before Surge, and then I was like "Why do that when I can just teach Geodude Dig? And so then I didn't catch Diglett. My bad.

On the other hand, I'm going to get my next team member as soon as I start playing, because its going to be Vaporeon. Then, I'll finish up with Starmie.

There's no restrictions on how many Pokemon we have to have at the end, are there? I'm thinking that 5 Pokemon is plenty (and will probably be too many for me, lol)

Good lord I have a lot of points. I'll take another stopwatch, bringing me down to 121, then... 1 Phoenix Down. Down to 66 points. Now do I have to use the Switcheroo I won from the lottery? Or can I save it for when I can not lose points?

I didn't teach any of my Pokemon any new moves because I'm sort of scared that something's gonna happen to at least one of them...
