Hey there!!!

I'm taking this as my first challenge. I've never been in that since I don't have much interest in Nuzlockes for instance, but bringing 6 Pokemon from a list of Pokemon that I regret having never played (or played correctly) seems very good.

I'm happening to reset my Emerald Rom (beat E4 once, then boredom..), so yeah.

Username: d4rk

Game: Emerald

Pokemon that got away:
Spoiler:


Parameters: I've always taken well-balanced teams so I can cover a broad variety of types, which is useful for E4. But, as it's a challenge, the one who will give me my team can also have fun and surprise me. Who knows! I just want 6 mons :p I guess I'll be able to hack wild <given Pokemon> in the game if it's not supported soon enough. Also I feel like it could be nice to choose a Starter and to give him a Type circle so I can haz my rival having my final nemesis. I'll use map editor for wild Pokemon, and randomizer for the starter if it's OK.

Mode: I guess it'll be normal for starters. If I'm getting the first one done with pleasure, then I'll ask for more.


I am so sorry that my wish list is so long.
Well, have fun.

Username: Thursday
Game: Pokemon Y (hopefully)
Pokemon that got away:
Spoiler:

Parameters: Preferably Pokemon from the region but I will use any since I can use the GTS to get them.
Mode: Normal

It might take me a few days to start this challenge up as I need to go get Pokemon Y but the weather has to let up some before I can do anything.

EDIT: d4rk, this will be your team:
Breloom, Dewgong, Miltank, Altaria, Beedrill, Ninetales. If you can't get a Pokemon, tell me and I'll change it.

Thursday,

Thank you a lot for you team. Unfortunately, I might leave your team in another member's hands. Indeed, I've never played Pokemon gen IV, V, VI, and discovered these gens' Pokemon through hacks as much as Pokemon Glazed and Pokemon Flora Sky. So I don't know 'em very well.

But. If it's not a problem, tell me and I'll chose one any ways {XD}

Another noticeable point. I've seen that in your proposed team, only two Pokemon remain uncatchable in Emerald : Weedle and Seel (source). Also, I don't remember where Miltank is, but I'll be able to treat that in-game.
What I've hacked is : Having Seel as a starter and making other starters Ground and Steel : Diglett and Aron. Also I've made Weedle appear very soon in-game, in place of Wurmple.
Otherwise, we may just change these two Pokemon as you said, but I'd like you to consider it as the last option...

Waiting for you reply {:3}

Whoops, I was more worried about trying to get Pokemon with different types instead of trying to get Pokemon that you can actually get in the game. :\

I can easily change the Pokemon around to try and make it so that Torchic is a good Pokemon for the rival's team.

Spoiler:
 
Don't worry man, I don't want to modify my rival's team, it takes time and eventually is not very useful for this challenge. I've discovered Miltank is in Safari Zone... Yap, I can smell PokeBlock's scent from afar. Also Vulpix is catchable outside Mt. Pyre on the other side... And Swablu on Roads 114-115... I may grind a mon to lvl 20-30 so I can catch my missing pals without killing 'em with overpowered team. It'll be a long run since I get those mons.

Any ways, I'll make a little log every time I run into an important event.

Chapt. I - My two first mons
