  • The Lyrics Challenge.

    The Lyrics Challenge.


    Introduction


    In The Lyrics Challenge, you pick any song that you'd like, and pick Pokemon according to any lines in the song. You can pick as many Pokemon/lines as you want. For an example, you can look at my sign up at the bottom of this post. This is a really simple Challenge to figure out! :D


    Challenge Rules

    1.) Trading is permitted, as long as you trade them over at a low level, early in the game.
    2.) Hacking in a Pokemon is also allowed, under the same circumstances as the previous rule.
    3.) You are free to do an Ultimate Lyrics Challenge if you want! Just be sure to notify me of what games you will be using.
    4.) The challenge ends when you defeat the Elite Four (in all games except for G/S/C, Emerald, and HG/SS) In the aforementioned games, the game ends when you beat Red at Mt. Sliver, or in Emerald's case, Steven inside Meteor Falls. Also, in B/W, the game ends after you defeat Alder.
    5.) You can also do this for the spinoff games Pokemon Colosseum or XD: Gale of Darkness. (In which case, the game ends after beating Evice or Greevil respectively)
    6.) For the sake of the Challenge, no legendaries.
    7.) You can use HM slaves, as long as they are not part of your 'actual party'. However, this does not prevent you from actually teaching an HM move or two to one of your Pokemon in your party.
    8.) Have fun!


    Brave Challengers

  • Ok, I'll give this a go.. Hope I get this right...

    Game: Platinum
    Song: Fireflies - Owl City


    "Cause I feel like such an Insomniac" < (Honchkrow, Insomnia Ability)
    "... If Ten Million FireFlies" < (Illumise, Firefly Pokémon)
    "Why do I tire of counting sheep" < (Ampharos, resembles a sheep)

    Only got three so far, if I get anymore I'll update the post.

  • This sounds really exciting! I'll try it out!

    Game:
    SoulSilver
    Song: Brick By Boring Brick - Paramore

    "She lives in a fairy tale, Somewhere too far for us to find
    " <---- Pikachu (Fairy Pokemon and has a tail (bad pun))
    "...she's ripping wings off of butterflies" <---- Butterfree (Butterfly)
    "Well, go get your shovel and we'll dig a deep hole" <---- Marowak (Learns Dig and is a Ground type)
    "...or the wolf's gonna blow it down" <---- Houndoom (A dog Pokemon and has wolf like qualities)
    "If it's not real
    , you can't hold it in your hand" <---- Kingdra (Doesn't have any hands)

    Is it okay that I hack in everyone? I can only obtain one Pokemon in game (Caterpie) before the 4th gym and I'd rather not be soloing until then and then having to catch the rest of them up for the other half of the game. My plan is to hack in a Pikachu to replace my starter, then hack in a Caterpie, Cubone, Seadra, and finally Houndour before every gym battle. If that isn't fair or is against the rules, just tell me and I'll try to figure something out instead. Thanks and I'll try to update as often as I can.

  • I'll join in too on White. I won't start a new game since it's a million years of text to read and I only have 1 badge. That's still plenty of time to make a new team. Each color represents 1 Pokemon.

    Rihanna's Sell Me Candy

    Sell me candy like it's summer when it's melting in my hands
    I know you're around like the ice cream man
    I can hear you calling, whisper something in my ear
    You're sweet like sugar, tell me what I wanna hear
    I'm weak by your touch and when it's melting on my lips
    I run through my body when you lick my fingertips
    You're selling me a fantasy that I want to explore
    It sounds so good spoil me rotten to the core

    [Bridge:]
    Talk to me
    Take care of my dreams
    All I need
    Is you beside me
    It's destiny
    Just let it be
    If words can speak
    Then baby sell it to me

    [Chorus:]
    Sell me candy, sell me love, sell me heaven, sell me doves
    What's the charge? What's the cost?
    (I'm the daddy)… you the boss.

    Pokabu family (summer ► hot as in fire)
    Vanipeti family
    (It's an ice cream cone. Literally)
    Churin family (flowers have sweet scents)
    Munna family (According to canon it takes us to the dream world with hallucinogenic smoke)
    Yabakuron family (it's a trash heap and trash is rotten, like poison types) -or-Mamepato family (It's a pigeon which is related to the dove species)
    Desumasu family -or- Hitomoshi family (In both cases, they're ghosts: spirits who haven't gone to heaven. In Hitomoshi's case, it's part fire, tying it to the aforementioned summer)

  • Now this sounds super fun :3

    For my song I chose "The Riddle" by
    Gigi D'Agostino
    I'll be making this save on Pokemon Emerald

    "I got two strong arms" --- Machamp
    , has 2 strong arms...twice XD

    "Where an old man of Aran goes around and around" --- Aron, sounds most like Aran ^^

    "A blackbird sings on bluebird hill" --- Honchkrow, a black colored bird

    "And his mind is a beacon," --- Ampharos, 'light pokemon', was a lighthouse beacon
    "In the veil of the night." --- Lumineon (knows Water Veil)

    "To keep from burning history" --- Rapidash, has Flame Body, causes burns

    Before I officially start this saving, if any of you have any better suggestions for what pokemon I should use that would better match the lyrics, I'm open :)

  • I'm picking Leather Rebel by Judas Priest. First, let's look at the possibilities...
    Spoiler:


    Alright, I am picking...
    - Wailord (maybe I'll just figure out how sprite editing works and make it white that way)
    - Arcanine (must have Flash Fire)
    - Tauros (it fits the song title the best after all)
    - Empoleon (never used one of these... to use this in third gen I'll have to do some stuff though)

    Game will probably be Ruby with the aforementioned changes edited into it. This will of course be poorly executed.

    EDIT: Alright, I had some fun screwing around with a rom of ruby, and did the following changes:
    - Squirtle line is Piplup line. I had not enough moveslots available so it doesn't learn Water Sport. Too bad.
    - Wailmer starts with Hyper Voice, just because.
    - Flash Fire is Growlithe and Arcanine's only ability.
    - Growlithe evolves by happiness, because I have no idea how to get a Fire Stone.
    - All of the Pokemon I'm going to use have a catch rate of 255. (well Tropius doesn't, I forgot that.. but that would be TOO easy, wouldn't it?)
    - Some other stuff with no effects on gameplay.

    EDIT: DAMMIT. Of course I the sprites part screwed up and it doesn't work. If I sent out Wailmer, the game will just restart, if I send out Piplup...
    Spoiler:

    Playing normal Ruby then, with Donphan instead of Empoleon.

    Woah, that's supremely messed up.

    Anyway, I've gotten around to editing the thread.




    Tryn*Sylver, how are you going to use 4th gen pokemon on a 3rd gen game?

  • Well apparently for some reason the rom of Ruby WITHOUT all these shenanigans from earlier is being glitchy as well:
    Spoiler:

    MY GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE?

    ...and my spawn modifier stopped working, right after I got the Wailmer.


    Also, wait. Did I really write "
    I the sprites part screwed up" yesterday? Aaargh.


    EDIT: Not sure what I did wrong earlier, but I tried it again, did nothing different, but this time it worked just fine. Weird. I screwed up on the nicknames part though, my Tauros (was a royal pain to catch btw) is now named "Lea" instead of the planned "LeatherRbl" (or something like that), and my Growlithe and Phanphy don't even have nicknames. Ah well, Slateport is not that far, so it's not too terrible.

  • I'll use "Come Back Home" by Two Door Cinema Club.

    "Won't you come back home" - Pikachu (Is never in Kanto when with Ash..
    "To see your not that kind" - Delibird (He's Santa's Little Helper).
    "You see the day beckoning" - Xatu - Psychic.
    "Now your on your own" - Marowak (Evolves from Cubone).

    Will give it a go on FireRed.
    Will have to hack in Xatu+Delibird.

  • Gonna change my team

    It appears I lost my original save, so I'm going to start over (On Black & I'll hack a couple in.). I have a new song instead of Rihanna.

    Miss A's Breathe (It's originally Korean so I'm relying on translations.)

    Because of you my heart drops
    Because of you my body wants (ya)
    Every time I catch your eye
    Every time you snatch my mind

    Because of you my heart drops

    (Gothimu family. Gothimu resembles a baby or toddler and adults go gaga and stupid over cute babies and toddlers.)

    (Purrloin family. Purloin means to steal, and to steal is to want something that's not yours.)

    no oh no oh no oh oh
    I can't breathe
    no oh no oh no oh oh
    I can't breathe
    no oh no oh no oh oh
    I can't breathe
    no oh no oh no oh oh oh oh

    Boy you look so fine you're just so damn fly
    I try to be a little sly but caught me looking every time
    I'm not this type of girl but boy you make a girl go wild
    Your style just blows my mind
    So come and save me now

    (Snivy family. Snivy could possibly be a combination of snake, snide, sly and ivy. It may also come from snark, a snide remark, or snicker, a sly or snide laugh. Thank you bulbapedia.)


    (Murando. One of it's characteristics is it's talent to look for people in snow like a St. Bernard. Thanks again bulbapedia)

    (Don't wanna be the one with a crush) Should I flirt around?
    (Have a feeling you want me as much) See how things turn out?
    Should I make a move? (yeah) If I just only knew (yeah)
    This everlasting game is driving me insane


    (Shikijika family. The weather can be unpredictable, even after forecast. Winter (when snowed inside the house) can make some people crazy with cabin fever.)

    Today I'll lay it out it's about time for you to find out
    I'm gonna let you know, baby I will let you know
    When you appear in sight my body's paralyzed and my mind's all white
    Yeah I forget what's on my mind, oh

    (Emonga. It's fur is white, it's electric, and it can paralyze an opponent.)

    Boy, when you watch me, my heart skips a beat
    When you leave me, pain just comes up against me
    Free my love chained up here can't you see?
    (I mean) Catcher
    Here's my love baby boy, I just can't breathe


    (Pokabu family. Saw the Best Wishes episode when Pokabu joined Ash's team. **spoiler** Pokabu was abandoned by his trainer and tied to a tree. When he escaped, the rope caught around his snout and he couldn't eat. When Pokabus don't feel well their noses breathe out as black smoke and people wanted to catch him, thinking he was an Umbreon (due to being malnourished, all black from the smoke, and thin.))

    Snivy family (Tsutaja) *Gonna hack*
    Tepig family (Pokabu)
    Lillipup family (Yorterry)
    Shikijika family
    Purrloin (Choroneko) family
    ; Gothimu family
    Emonga

    Edit:
    Turns out that my save in White wasn't lost after all. I'll still use this team for Black, but I'll continue my White game.

    Pokabu family Vanipeti family Churin family Munna family Yabakuron family -or-Mamepato family Desumasu family -or- Hitomoshi family

    "You must fight just to keep them alive" - Blaziken(fighting type, i just sorta think that he fits this)
