Ok... I'll give you Aipom, Yanma, Drifloon, Spoink, Carvanha and Eevee. I assume you'll be evolving them though! Added you to the Challengers list.

P.S. Congratulations to our first Champion, jujuju!

P.P.S. In case anyone's wondering, I will be doing this Challenge asap but I'm currently working on a HeartGold playthrough so I can catch a Misdreavus to breed and trade across to my Challenge game... One of the very few Pokemon I don't actually have yet!
 
Um, yes, I've talked to sammu about implementing a separate challenge in which we train our boxed Pokemon from finished games.
Basically, we put up a list of the Pokemon which we caught for Pokedex during our playthroughs and never got to train them. Now, we don't want to restart the game, we just want to train those little guys. But the sea of junk (no pun intended) is so vast we have no idea if we'll pick a Ratatta or a Sentret. See ? This is where it helps.
When sammu updates the thread, I'll post my junk list and have someone select six Pokemon. And, golly, it's a long one... (considering my count of 399 in Pokedex in HG).

I've made a thread for it, after all. I'll make a link to this challenge in case some people want to make a full playthrough with unused Pokemon. ^_^

-Rode down Cycling Road, got the Vs Seeker and Dowsing Machine
-Encountered Cyrus in Mt Coronet, he spouted some fauxlosophic bull**** and walked away
-Caught a bibarel-HM slave and a male Ralts (named Bridget, 5 internets to anyone who gets the reference)
-Entered Hearthome City and got attacked by a Buneary, went to the contest hall, got a tuxedo.
-Battled Gav, had completely forgotten he was here...good thing this is Pearl though or he might've been slightly dangerous. :P
-Headed to Solaceon Town, Miles and Bridget evolved.
-Went on to Veilstone city, rode straight through to Pastoria Town
-Caught Khan the Kangaskhan in the Great Marsh (Where it'd normally be available post-E4)
-Went back to Veilstone and headed to the gym
-Miles beat Meditite with 2 crunches, Devo sleep powder+hidden powered Machoke, Lucario swept most of my team leaving him it at ~30%HP and Miles at ~85%, Miles won with Aqua Jet spam

I'll give you... Skarmory, Ninetales, Drapion, Lanturn, Armaldo. I'm not sure if you want me to choose your game, but if you do, then have a go at Platinum.

Thanks. Yeah, I wanted you to choose the game. This will be a pretty good team. I'm gonna have to trade/hack in a couple eggs - Skarmory and Chinchou can't be obtained until after the Elite Four, I will hack in a Claw fossil after I get the Underground Kit in Eterna City and revive it in Oreburgh, and I will catch Vulpix in-game by hacking it in where it can be found with a Dongle. Skorupi will be caught normally I guess. And Bidoof/Bibarel for the HM slave of course!

Finished the challenge!!
Here's the ending (Excuse me for skipping Lt.Surge snap shot)

Spoiler:
 
Congratulations WeightyWillBill, our second Champion! I'll add you to the list now.

Excuse my tardiness but I genuinely will be starting this challenge before much longer. I'm currently undergoing the laborious process of trading all, yes, ALL 400+ of my Pokemon collection from Diamond onto HeartGold, where they will stay for the foreseeable future (probably until I get Black/White). Who the hell made the trading animation SO SLOW?!!?

Anyway, once they're all on HG, I'll get breeding, and transfer the eggs over to my SoulSilver game; then I'll do the challenge.
 
I think I might do this again.. On Emerald, I think (:

Number of Pokemon: 4 will do.
Special Requests: One that could learn surf, please?
Another list of the ones that got away (All fully evolved this time [unless I've already used the evo] + 3rd gen pokemon)

Name:Ragnia

Started Diamond a couple days ago. Haven't gotten very far. I am going to be using Flygon, Kingdra, Magnezone, and Exeggutor.

Named myself I, chose a girl avatar, and named my "friend" ASH. Chose Chimchar as starter. Hacked in Trapinch/Horsea, and just beat the first Gym with them. Magnemite/Exeggcute are waiting in the sidelines for now until I get those two up a bit to help with the level grinding.

Team I:

Trapinch - L15
Moves:
Bite
Sand-Attack

Horsea - L15
Moves:
Water Gun
SmokeScreen
Bubble
Leer


This is going a bit slower than I thought, but I am currently doing a Ultimate Monotype w/ Fighting so I'll do this when I get bored of getting owned by Flying types.
