I have a quick question. If our name has more than 6 letters, are we still allowed to use only like 3 Pokemon?

Also, how do ultimate challenges function in this? Do we have to use the same Pokemon from Red/Blue to the end? Or is it "beat all the games"?

Yeah, I was also thinking that the Pokemon should be able to change from game to game.

I also think that you should be able to do whatever number you want, just set a minimum of 3 or 4 or something.

I also put out the option of maybe doing 6 consecutive letters or even just six letters from your name, but I'll understand if this one isn't something you want to do. I was thinking that I would like to use the other 2 letters in my name for some variety in my ultimate challenge.

Just my two cents.

 

[Enigma]

I have a quick question. If our name has more than 6 letters, are we still allowed to use only like 3 Pokemon?

Yes, as long as the letters of the names are consecutive. For example, I could only do letters 'I', 'N', and 'F' if I wanted to do so.

Also, how do ultimate challenges function in this? Do we have to use the same Pokemon from Red/Blue to the end? Or is it "beat all the games"?

You do not have to use the same pokemon. You should, however, probably use the same set of beginning letters for your team, unless there is a special case. (Ex: having an X in your name and not being able to get Xatu in a game, etc.) Basically, just beat all the games you can.

Yeah, I was also thinking that the Pokemon should be able to change from game to game.

Answered in above quote.

I also think that you should be able to do whatever number you want, just set a minimum of 3 or 4 or something.

Pretty sure I answered this in the above as well.

I also put out the option of maybe doing 6 consecutive letters or even just six letters from your name, but I'll understand if this one isn't something you want to do. I was thinking that I would like to use the other 2 letters in my name for some variety in my ultimate challenge.

I, originally, was thinking about this as well. However, I'm under the impression that people could easily just pick the best letters/consecutive letter order , and therefore have a wider/better selection of Pokemon to choose from. This would likely make this challenge not quite seem hard enough to be considered a challenge, if you see what I'm getting at.

Just my two cents.

All questions answered above. I apologize if I did not make anything clear enough in the first post. Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate any comments/questions/ideas that can be used to better the challenge. c:
If you have anymore questions, please do not hesitate to ask!

 

[jdthebud]

Okay, here's my update.

Spoiler:

• Named self Jaskil, rival Tom.
• Picked Squirtle and named it Blast.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Grinded to Pewter City, where I took on Brock.
  
  
  
  
  Defeated him easily with Bubble.
  
  
• Went through Mt. Moon solo easily enough. Blast evolved into Wartortle.
• Arrived at Cerulean with just Blast, though I caught a Spearow later for trade fodder.
  
  
  
  
  Beat Tom pretty easily. Bulbasaur never used Vine Whip for whatever reason, so Blast made it through.
  
  
• After beating up Nugget Road and getting the SS Ticket from Bill, I went down to Vermilion to get a Drowzee.
• In Vermilion, I traded for the Farfetch'd named Dux and then caught a Drowzee named Harold.
• Went back to Cerulean and fought Misty.
  
  
  
  
  Blast was overleveled and knew Bite. End of story.
  
  
• Took on the SS Anne, where Harold learned Confusion and Headbutt so was able to really fight his own battles. Also taught him Seismic Toss.
• At the end, Tom was waiting.
  
  
  
  
  
  Harold swept him with Confusion and Headbutt. After the battle, he evolved into Hypno!
  
  
• Got Cut and taught it to Dux.
• Went into the Vermilion Gym.
  
  
  
  
  Lt. Surge was not hard for Harold to handle.
  
  
• Went back up north to the Rock Tunnel without Flash, which wasn't too annoying.
• After arriving in Lavender Town, I went east to Celadon.
• Went and got Fly, then caught a Doduo named Dean in that area.
• With Dean, I went into the TR Game Corner Hideout.
• After a couple Pokemon Center visits, I found myself facing Giovanni.
  
  
  
  
  Dean was still a bit underleveled, so Blast took care of Onix and Rhydon and Harold took down Kangaskhan.
  
  
• After that, I challenged the Celadon Gym.
  
  
  
  
  Erika went down easily to a newly learned Drill Peck (L30).
  
  
• Then I flew back to Lavender Town and started the ascent up Pokemon Tower.
• First, though, Tom was in an experience giving mood.
  
  
  
  
  
  Drill Peck was still the move of the moment, and afterwards, Dean evolved into Dodrio!

I am just about to scale the rest of Pokemon Tower, and after I get the Poke Flute, I will be able to get the Super Rod and fish for a Poliwhirl so I can trade for Jynx. Half my team is obtained right now.

Team Jaskil:

Dean (Dodrio) - L31
Moves: Peck, Fly, Body Slam, Drill Peck

Harold (Hypno) - L33
Moves: Confusion, Hypnosis, Seismic Toss, Headbutt

Blast (Wartortle) - L34
Moves: Bite, Water Gun, Tackle, Bubblebeam

Dux (Farfetch'd) - L10
Moves: Fly, Sand-Attack, Leer, Cut

Kricketune
Infernape
Rampardos

This should be fun! >:)

 

[Enigma]

Added. c:

Update:

Spoiler:

*Decided that the time was right to evolve Kyuubi and Hirudora into a Ninetales and Nidoqueen respectively.
*Currently taking on the Radio Tower filled with Rockets.
*As I finished that up, I head to Ice Path.
*Dosenkiryu evolves into a Rhydon. Now my entire team is complete. c:
*Defeated Clair with Raikiri. Cleared Dragon's Den. Got the Master Ball from Elm.
*Headed to Tohjo Falls. Kanto! 8D
*Gotten past Victory Road, taught Hirudora Earthquake. Just gonna train a bit more, then I'm ready.

 

[jdthebud]

Another update, this one's a short one.

Spoiler:

• Scaled Pokemon Tower, avoiding the trainers that I could.
• Saved Mr. Fuji and got the Poke Flute.
• Went south and killed Snorlax, then got the Super Rod.
• Fished in Celadon City for a L23 Poliwhirl, then flew to Cerulean and traded for a Jynx named Lola (damn it, the letter doesn't match...:/)
• Trained Lola up on trainers I had avoided before outside Vermilion. The exp boost helped it go fast.
• Caught Lola up to the rest of the team, then biked to Fuschia, avoiding all trainers on Cycling Road.
• Got Surf and Strength from the Safari Zone and the Warden, respectively. Taught both of them to Blast.
• Went into the Fuchsia Gym, where:
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Then I fought Koga.
  
  
  
  
  Confusion ruled the day.
  
  
• After that, I surfed to the Power Plant and caught a L33 Electabuzz named Edward. Taught him Thunderbolt, then fought the trainers outside Rock Tunnel I had avoided before.
• Then I surfed next to Pallet Town for a Tentacool. Found one at L30 and named him Taz.
• I taught Taz Cut and Surf and boxed Dux - no need for him now.
• Went to Saffron and entered Sliph Co.
• After the first battle:
  
  
  
  
  Tentacool evolves starting at L30 lol.

So now I will kick TR out of Saffron.

Team Jaskil:

Taz (Tentacruel) - L31
Moves: Wrap, Poison Sting, Surf, Cut

Dean (Dodrio) - L34
Moves: Peck, Fly, Body Slam, Drill Peck

Edward (Electabuzz) - L35
Moves: Quick Attack, Swift, Thunderbolt, Thundershock

Blast (Blastoise) - L36
Moves: Bite, Surf, Strength, Bubblebeam

Lola (Jynx) - L35
Moves: Psychic, Ice Punch, Pound, Lovely Kiss

Harold (Hypno) - L36
Moves: Confusion, Hypnosis, Seismic Toss, Headbutt

 

[jy909]

Hey, can I ask what I would do, as I have a zero, and I don't want a Shellder or two Blastoises.

Could I use my real world name, which is Joseph?

 

[Snow Phoenix]

Uodate:

-Went through Union cave. Gastly's Nightshade was excellent @-@
-Reached Azalea.
-Fought through Slowpoke Well.
-Bugsy Battle

Relatively easy @-@ Well, I had a plan. I used Onix's Rage and spammed it while I was fighting Metapod. Scyther went down in one hit of Rock Throw.

-Rival Battle. I won with mostly Gastly.
-Went through Ilex. Pokemon around 20ish.
-Reached Goldenrod.
-Went up tou route 35 and caught my Nidoran, nicknamed Nano.
-Trained Nidoran and evolved into Nidorino.
-Battled Whitney with Nidorino about level 20.

Easy as well. I spammed Nidorino's Double Kick. I had originally planned to beat her using Gastly's immunity, but I didn't know that Miltank had Scrappy >.<

-Got bike and squirtbottle.
-Traveled to Ecruteak.
-Battled Rival again. Won using both Gastly and Nidorino.
-Caught a Koffing and named it Waft.

I'm about the Challenge 4th gym so I'll probably edit that in.

Team: Pidgeotto (24), Nidorino (25), Onix (23), Gastly (23), Koffing (16)

Uh, this is a username challenge, not a real life name challenge. You're going to have to deal with what you get, sorry. :/

Update: Have gotten all 8 badges on Red.
