The Type-locke Challenge

[/FONT]

Welcome to my revived challenge! Like in a nuzlocke, if a pokemon faints it is considered dead, and must be released or permanently boxed.

Unlike a nuzlocke however, in this challenge you are limited to only 15 pokemon in Gen I, 17 pokemon in Gens II-V, and 18 pokemon in gen VI.

For in this challenge, the player (you) can only capture one pokemon for each type. The first pokemon you encounter of one type fills the "slot" in your type-chart, and no other pokemon of the same type can be caught. If the pokemon flees or faints, it still fills the "slot"

• Ex: you pick oshawott, no more water types. You encounter lillipup first on route 1 and K.O., no more normal types can be caught

Where things get a little more interesting is with dual-types. There are three ways to play:

1) A pokemon's primary type is the only typing it can be used for, (so starly counts only as normal type) For this just be aware that almost all flying types have flying as their secondary type.
2) a dual type pokemon can count for either of it's types, however:

• Ex: Encounter sewaddle in pinwheel, put it down for bug type, (say you want petilil for grass) and then encounter venipede, venipede must count for poison, not as a "repeat bug"

• Ex (dupes allowed): encounter sewaddle in pinwheel, mark it down as bug. Encounter another sewaddle, must be marked down as grass

(You can choose to play with dupes clause, to avoid second example!)

OR 3) a dual type fills up both slots.

• Ex: Sewaddle fills Bug and Grass slots

If you need an HM slave you may capture one. Don't use it in battle though (including being used as a meat shield)


Just to reiterate, if you catch a tentacool for a water type and it faints, you may not catch another pokemon that only fits the water quota. You can catch another tentacool if your poison slot is open though!

And, not sure if I made this clear but you can (and will) capture more than one mon per area!

Also, pokemon that change or gain a type upon evolving will count for the slot of their evolution

• Ex: catch an eevee and put it in electric slot for jolteon
• Ex: Catch a drilbur and put it in steel slot for excadrill

For forme changes, that pokemon counts for the slot both formes shares (with the exception of wormadam and castform(which will count as normal))

Optional Rules:

*No Items (or no items in battle)
*Dupes Clause (for dual types)
*Limited Pokemon Center Heals (1 in normal towns, 1 before gym and one after gym in gym towns)
*No repels (recommended)
*Starter can be ditched/wont count for type
*Anything else you can think of!

I'm usually pretty anti locke everything except regular Nuzlocke, but this is actually a pretty cool and different twist on the formula. Kudos.

I suppose I should take a break from doing solos and try something completely new, this seems interesting so I'll give it a whack.

Welcome to the challenge Adam! You've been added c:

By the way stp if the poochyena you're counting for your dark was the uhhh one encountered when saving Birch, then I say that that doesn't count. Simply because it's a forced encounter, and you can't use a pokeball to catch it. Up to you though!

This also goes for any encounter before pokeballs, especially forced encounters (e.g. the pidgey on Route 2 in X and Y). Feel free to choose if they count!

 

[Raven Valt]

I would assume things like the Poochyena are "Events" and you have no power over them which means they wouldn't count, Just like in a regular locke you would never count anything before you actually receive pokeballs or are allowed to use them. Like in Emerald you have to move up a route, battle May/Branden then you get pokeballs and in that time you do encounter pokemon but have no power to catch them meaning they wouldn't count.
