I have a question. Do we need to beat the Elite four a second time round after we do everything on the Sevii Islands. Or just the first time. Because technically, I did become the Champion already.

You don't have to beat E4 for the second time if I recall correctly. The first time is enough. Congrats on beating the challenge.


Anyway, it has been a while since I did this challenge, so let's set an impossible goal of beating each era in each gen (Gen VIII excluded) by the end of this year.

Let's start with Jurassic Jam.

Quick note, the type images in the OP are broken, can you fix those?

Yeah I noticed.

First post was fixed. Galar information added to every Era.

I hope there's no issues with any of the new additions, it's been a long time since I last played Sword & Shield.

SUMMARY

​
Okay, I finally finished the whole Jurassic Jam Ultimate Challenge. I had a lot of fun with it, but I think I enjoyed Industrial Era one more. Mostly because of the selection of available Pokémon wasn't that interesting. But I still had fun. Hopefully none of Water-types I picked are not considered cute. Anyway, let's talk about each run separately...

This team was great, but it was the beginning of the problems I encountered later on much bigger scale. First, Water-types completely destroy this team. Then, since there is a lot of type overlap, I barely used Ninetales and Aerodactyl and Kingler. They were just sitting on my team and were waiting for either Charizard, Kabutops or Butterfree to faint, so they can also take their turn. But otherwise, this was pretty standard run.

I decided to use rather "weak" Pokémon for this run, since this was the final run I did in this challenge. Three Bug-types might seem like a small overkill, but their secondary typing helped me a lot. Especially Heracross. But Heracross is overall great Pokémon. Magcargo on the other hand was disappoiting. Even with no other Fire-type on the team, I rather used Ledian than Magcargo against Grass-types and Heracross and Feraligatr against Steel-types. I don't think I even used Magcargo past Johto.

The battle with Red was surprisingly hard. His Pikachu was lucky enough to beat Heracross and Feraligatr with a Volt Tackles, which severely hindered my options for later. I somehow beat Venusaur and Charizard, but his Blastoise then took rest of my team out. I used my last Max Revive on Feraligatr just as Magcargo fainted (which was his biggest accomplishment in Kanto). I set up Swords Dance, while also throwing every healing item on Feraligatr and in the end, I was able to sweep Blastoise, Lapras and Snorlax.

This was pretty regular run. I barely used Relicanth, since Swampert is just better, but I enjoyed using both Ninjask and Shedinja.

Now this was boring run. Maybe I was burned out of playing Pokémon games at that point, but I had to force myself to finish this run. And because of that, I don't have much to say. I think I basically cleared most of the game with just Infernape, Bibarel and Houndoom and only ever used the rest when I had no other choice.

Once again, this was standard run. This is the gen when the typing is starting to be more interesting, so I had a lot of choices for my team. In the end, I'm satisfied with the team I ended up. Carrasosta was the MVP of this run, which is exactly what I expected. It is just so good.

I was little sad, when I found out most fossils are locked behind post-game, but at least I could use Mega Aerodactyl. Surprisingly enough, I wiped on Siebold twice, because of his Clawitzer. Overall, Water-types were bane to this team. Greninja and Barbaracle usually couldn't deal with them fast enough and the rest of my team were weak against them.

Now this is what I was waiting for. Team full of fossils. Completely unbalanced, but fun. Even Archeops, who is probably my least favourite fossil Pokémon, wasn't that bad in the end. I'm glad I picked Incineroar, since it balanced the team a little bit.



So, next up, I should do Ice Age runs. Just from looking at the allowed types, I can say I will end up with more interesting teams, since Ice and Rock-types aren't types I normally use. I also think I won't have to rely on starters that much this time.

I had a question. Are we allowed to play through these Eras using fan games and rom hacks, or is it only for the actual games themselves? And what about on randomizer mode?

I think it's possible to do this challenge on fan games or on randomizer. You would have tweak rules a little bit, like choosing mandatory Pokémon for fanmade regions.

I mean, you can try then on fan games or randomizers but you'd have to work out your mandatory pokemon and whatnot. DO let me know how it goes! And have fun!
