The Traveller Challenge

Description
In this challenge the aim is to defeat the champion of which-ever region you are in without using any pokemon that were originally introduced into that region. You begin the game by trading your starter for something else as soon as you possibly can or catching something native to another region as soon as you can and then proceed throughout the game without ever catching a pokemon introduced in the region you are playing.

Example: If you are playing Black 2 as soon as you are able to you either trade over a pokemon introduced in Gens I-IV or capture one of the many pokemon not originally part of the Unova Regional Dex.

This challenge is relevant to G/S/C, R/S/E, D/P/Pt, B/W and B2/W2. Clearly it will be impossible in Gen 1 unless you hack them in on a ROM. Which you may if you notify people that you intend to "cheat".

• Do not use any "illegal' pokemon on your team
