- team rocket was blocking the gym :< so visited Kurt the pokeball maker instead
- Kurt yelled about slowpoke having their tails cut off by Team rocket and charged out. Better follow to keep him safe. Aren't i nice?

- Rene didnt seem too happy to be in the well.
- Beat up some 'Proton' guy who claimed to be the 'cruelest, scariest TR member'. He was a pushover. Rene beat him up and put a stop to the slowpoketail operations

guys? is breeding allowed?

 

[Necrum]

guys? is breeding allowed?

Breeding is allowed as long as it happens within the confines of the challenge itself.

 

[Azire]

Is there an Ultimate game challenge or anything? Like beating the same game, like Soul Silver for example, with a Monotype team of every type? So beat the same game like 18 times?

Sorry, I don't have anything like that. It really had to be one type of ultimate or the other and the one I chose makes more sense in my opinion. You're perfectly free to go ahead and try to beat every type with the same game but I imagine that getting very tedious.

 

[MadKing]

I don't know if it's of interest of anyone, but I can make custom templates for every type. Templates is something that's just a way to organize better your update. It's a image with your Party slots, name of the trainer, badges, and current status through the game.
I'm doing Psychic and Poison templates for my challenges and it's no bother at all to do the other types as well.
