Some suggestions for new pairs:

• Beautifly and Dustox - both evolve from Wurmple
• Huntail and Gorebyss - both evolve from Clamperl
• All fossil Pokemon as well - use any 2 fossil Pokemon (would Aerodactyl count?)
• Scizor and Steelix - Metal Coat trades
• Politoed and Sloking - King's Rock
• Bellosom and Vileplume - both evolve from Gloom
• Magmortar and Electivire (and pre-evos) - both require "-rizer" items to evolve
• Weavile and Gliscor (and pre-evos) - both require Razor items to evolve
• Glalie and Froslass - both evolve from Snorunt
• Any two of Tyrogue's evolutions
• Kingdra, Salamence, or Dragonite - all are species of Dragon Pokemon
• Gyarados and Absol - both associated with disasters
• Starmie, Staraptor, or Omastar - Star in name
• Flygon and Xatu - both have species of Mystic Pokemon

More...?

Put OK in Bold next to ones I agree with.

 

[Enigma]

I will be doing this with Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee, since jdthebud's idea for that was approved. I haven't decided which game I will do this on, though. Really great idea for a challenge! I'll probably end up doing most of them at one point. :)

 

[jdthebud]

What, the fossil ones don't make the cut? >.<
and whats wrong with the metal coat/king's rock evos?

I will probably do this with either Gyarados/Absol or Omastar/Cradily, prolly on FR or LG.
may take a while since i have other challenges going on.

 

[Weavile05]

Well... alright. They're in.

 

[Sydian]

Hey guys, I know he wants suggestions, but maybe we could leave the suggestions to those taking the challenge? I don't want the thread getting cluttered with suggestions rather than sign ups and updates. ;(

 

[Weavile05]

Well, now that I've got PLENTY of suggestions, I agree with Syd. I'll go change that in the rules now.

 

[imevil]

allright, i think plusle and Minun should be up there for obvious reasons

i go with gyarados and absol for sapphire

 

[Toasty Woodman]

I'm taking the challenge! Cradily and Armaldo on Ruby!

 

[Weavile05]

LOL! How could I forget Plusle and Minun?

 

[Toasty Woodman]

Actually, I'm gonna withdraw. As I found out how to put these pokemon where I could actually like, catch them, I discovered hacking, and now I'm making my own rom. Cheers!!

Lol, you just discovered hacking = make your own ROM? What a leap. Have fun, though, and there are multiple threads here on PC for that too, if you want advice/feedback!

 

[Toasty Woodman]

Yeah... that stuff WAY over my head, as it turns out D: I'm going to sign back up into this, please....

Cradily and Anorith on Sapphire, because I ruined my Ruby ROM when I tried to change it Dx

I probably won't start this until I finish my Dual Type Challenge anyways. I hate having two challenges running :P

 

[Weavile05]

Okay, First update. A small one.... but at least it's something!
-Hacked the Rom to make Wild Zangoose appear at level 2 and 3
-Went through all the beggining stuff
-Beat May
-Got a Pokedex and Pokeballs
-Caught Zangoose
-Trained it to Level 7
-End

Team

Zangoose lvl7
Scratch
Leer
Quick Attack

 

[Rainbow-Sasuke]

I use Politoed and Slowking in Crystal. I'm going to cheat for Poliwag and catch Slowpoke at Slowpoke Well.

 

[DoctorFred]

Game Using: Sapphire
Pair Using: Scizor and Steelix

Is cheating allowed? Just so i could get scizor and steelix. If not, i'll have to pick something else...

 

[Enigma]

I think I might choose Leaf Green or Fire Red. Still trying to decide. xD

By the way, what about Beedrill and Butterfree?

 

[Weavile05]

Wow, i can't believe all of these I'm forgetting! I just thought about Beautifly and Dustox too...

 

[Rainbow-Sasuke]

Weavile, Beautifly and Dustox were already on there. Also, I personally think Vespiquen(spelling?) and Mothim.
