The Official Pokemon Challenge Thread - Black/White Edition

[Splash_King]

The deadline for that there shiny reward is before I make the Harmonia Challenge an official ruleset. Which is t' say, ya don't need to trail blaze the Challenge in just a day lol. S'pose I'll also give testers a week after I confirm and officialize the ruleset t' complete their Challenges (and will still be required t' post proper feedback). I'll likely officialize the ruleset once I've completed both of my test runs.

Single Challenge run update 1:
- I gave the guard some tea to get into Saffron City.
- I went through the entire Silph Co, and battled almost every trainer (including my rival, Dante and Giovanni). It was a real pain in the ass.
- I defeated the Dojo, but didn't take a Pokemon.
- I took on the 6th gym without delay. Kira, my Charizard, is just too ****ing OP at the moment.
- I surfed to Articuno and defeated him.
- I surfed to Cinnabar Island, got through the Pokemon Mansion, and defeated the 7th gym.
- I did all of the quests on One, Two and Three Island, and defeated Moltres.
- I flew to Viridian City, and defeated the final gym.

Kira update:
Level: 73
Mild nature (-denfense, + special attack)
Flamethrower
Fly
Brick Break
Rock Slide

How much time will that give me? I'll probably finish my Single Challenge run tomorrow or late today. I want to do a Scramble/Monotype/Moveset challenge before the Harmonia Challenge. Do you think I'll get time for both?

Single Challenge run update 2:
- I defeated the last legendary bird, Zapdos.
- I raped Victory Road
- I'm preparing for the E4

Kira update:
Level: 87
Mild nature (-denfense, + special attack)
Flamethrower
Fly
Dragon Claw
Rock Slide

I don't think ya need t' prepare much, 'sides maybe buyin' a shitton of Full Restores. :lol:

Ehh... two weeks or so? I ain't too hasty in completein' Challenges, so there's no way I'd complete two quicker than a week. So yeah, you'll likely have enough time. Don't forget it ain't against the rules t' postpone a Challenge/play another at the same time, so if for some unkarply reason ya don't end up havin' enough time, ya aren't necessarily bone(rush)d.

Yeah I now have 4 challenges (I think i kinda lost track of them)


Diamond Single Challenge, update #1
Picked Turtwig to start with, because it will make the rival fights easier. I played until I can catch my next Pokemon. As soon as I got that I traded a Trapinch egg. I ran around until it finally hatched (worst part in the whole game...) and named it Libeldra (felt like having a German pokemon name in there (it is German for Flygon ). I trained it to level 7 and then bit the rival's Pokemon after defeating all trainers availe, except of the little boy who got his Pokemon from his father... I still need to save money, so I maybe won't start Harmonia challenge today :/

Libeldra (Trapinch) lvl11 with hardy nature and Arena Trap
-Bite
-Sand Attack

Diamon Single Challenge, update #2
I went to Oreburgh city and trained my Trapinch to level 18. I started the gym battle with lvl19 and defeated Geodude with 2 hits. He switched into Cranidos to use Leer and delt some damage. AfteTrapinch only had 12 hp left, but Onix only delt 4 damage with Rockthrow and I got a critical, so I survived with 8 hp.

[LordWaffle]

At the moment, I'm fighting the E4. I've lost once now, to Dante(my rival)'s Blastoise. Took Kira (my Charizard) out with a single Hydro Pump. I'll probably beat him today, so I want to start my new challenge.
Scramble/Monotype/Moveset challenge Hit me up with dem pokemon and movesets. I'm playing Pokemon Black, and I can trade from White 2. Does this mean that I'm allowed to trade pokemon for the Scramble Challenge?

 

[Splash_King]

Aye, you can trade over eggs of any Pokemon you're assigned if they're caught late in the game/can't be caught at all.

What type are ya usin' for the Challenge?

 

[LordWaffle]

Final Single Challenge run update:
- The E4 was ridiculously easy.
- I lost against Dante, my rival, two times before I finally defeated him with my beloved Kira.

Final Kira update:
Level 90

Mild Nature (-defense, + special attack)
Met in PALLET TOWN at Lv 5.

SPECIAL ATTACK: 261
SPECIAL DEFENSE: 180
SPEED: 229
EXP. POINTS: 777941

KNOWN MOVES:
FLAMETHROWER
FLY
FOCUS PUNCH
SUNNY DAY

 

[Splash_King]

I can't assign ya any Pokes 'til I know what type you're usin'. >_>

Congratulations on makin' your first Hall of Fame entry, bro. Was Focus Punch useful... ?

 

[LordWaffle]

Focus Punch was a move that I was not planning to use, but since Dante's Rhydon's Rock Tomb did more than half of Kira's HP, I needed some change. I was really lucky when it used Scary Face. So yeah, I used it a total of 1 time throughout my entire game.

For the typing, I didn't know you could choose for yourself. I'll have to think about it. Can I transfer any pokemon I want from White 2 that is not in Black? Like a lvl 12 Grimer (just an example)?

 

[Splash_King]

Aye, but only if they're unhatched eggs (and Pokemon assigned for your Scramble, obviously).

Diamon Single challenge, update #3
The Galactic grumps were easy as they always are and the first executive almost defeated me... His/Her (what are they? please somebody help ) first Pokemon were/was no problem (don't remember eexactly how many it were because it was a few hours ago..., I hardly took any dmg though) and I used 2 Sand Attacks against Purugly. It only missed 2 times so that wasn't relevant, but after taking a few hits and biting this thing I survived with my hp in the red area. I defeated all trainers that weren't fisher on my way to Eterna City and then challenged the gym. I actually whited out because I tried to defeat the gym trainers in one go, but paralysis said no :/. I couldn't defeat the leaders first Pokemon on one hit, so she used a Super Potion, but also got to use Leech Seed and Stun Spore. For Turtwig I would have need 2 hits, but it used Razor Leaf once and a With Draw (left it with about 5 hp after Leech Seed healed it :/), but luckily got a crit, I only took a Gras Knot after she healed and Roserade didn't have a potion left. I used a Super Potion which turned out to be useless, because she only used 2 Poison Stings before I took Roserade out. With a little bit of luck this fight turned out to be easier than I thought and now I have enouhg Pokeballs to get all my Pokemon and then I finally can start the Harmonia challenge

Libeldra (Trapinch) lvl 28 with hardy nature and Arena Trap
-Bite
-Sand Attack
-Faint
-Sand Tomb
.... the natural move set sucks...


I'd give you a Pokemon, but I think I'll let Splash_King decide the type


Now I'll get to the fun of trading 2 boxes of Pokemon to a different game...

 

[LordWaffle]

Ok, screw the trading then. Pokemon from Black only. Shall I choose the typing myself?

 

[Splash_King]

You can leave it up to someone else t' choose the type, but most Challengers choose it themselves. I'd recommend a type ya can find at least one Pokemon of early on.

The Galactic grumps were easy as they always are and the first executive almost defeated me... His/Her (what are they? please somebody help )

Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are two chicks and a dude. In that order.

Now I'll get to the fun of trading 2 boxes of Pokemon to a different game...

Feel my pain, bro... :lol: T'is what I had t' go through back in the day whenever I wanted to play my retro games over again.

Harmonia Challenge-White Update​

Spoiler

And so the test run begins. Started off with Snivy 'cause Smugleaf is the bestest of starters. Lucky me the Snivy was a female, so I'll definitely be boxin' 'er for breedin' purposes in the future. Don't think I have females of any Gen 5 starters, actually...

Caught a Lillipup and a Modest Patrat on the way t' Accumula. No shiny this time. :lol: Nabbed a Purrloin while traversing Route 2, completin' my four-Poke team. Level grindin' against these n00b Youngsters, I'm actually have a fair bit of bad luck already... crits everywhere. This one sunovabitch had his Patrat crit me three times in a row. ._.; Damn thing was clearly in the top percentage of rodent Pokemon.

Took on Chili without a damn care that my team was underleveled, and I certainly got a beating for it... couldn't even take down Lillipup since Snivy was only lv. 11, everyone else 8 or under. Off to the Dreamyard for some quick training I went, and came back with the team leveled up only once each ('sides Purrloin who leveled up twice). I'm just rarin' to White Out it seems. :lol:

Snivy handled Lillipup single handed since, after two Leers, Vine Whip was a 3HKO, close enough to a 2HKO to nullify the Potion Chili used and let Snivy win unscathed. Pansear used Incinerate twice whereas Snivy countered with Leer. Sadly it didn't finish Snivy off and used Work Up instead... but only once before KOin' my Grass-type. Out comes Lillipup, whom I'm hoping will finish it off with those defense drops. Sadly that wasn't the case, and Lillipup was knocked out one Tackle away from the win. Luckily, Pansear was in the red and was one Work Up short of bein' able to OHKO Patrat, and I just barely stole the win. Couldn't of gone better, as I didn't need t' grind against wild Pokes at all. Trio Badge get!

Derped back off t' the Dreamyard and did the ol' plotstuff with Team Plasma; but not before startin' my new team off by gettin' that gifted Panpour. Then caught me an Adamant Audino while searchin' for a Munna (I am deeply saddened ya get your Moonstone after beatin' Lenora...). It won't be a match for Watchog, but it'l certainly help. Caught that there Munna 'fore headin' off to Striaton's Pokemon Center and savin'.

Feedback​

I'm thinkin' of havin' a team of three required instead'a four. Definitely nowhere near a point where this thought has any merit, but in retro games ya don't get introduced t' this many species all-that quickly. Bein' forced to spread Exp. thin and balance out my team members' levels is also a slight hassle.

 

[LordWaffle]

You know what, I'll let you guys choose for me. Any pokemon that's obtainable in Black before you finish the main storyline. Any type. Include movesets. 2 pokemon each. Out of 6. Bring it on. And please add at least one pokemon that you can catch fairly early in the game.

 

[Splash_King]

Hm... that's the problem with a tradeless Monotype Challenge, a rather lackluster pool of Pokes t' choose from. I'd of given ya Dark or Psychic, but there ain't six Pokes for either type. S'pose I'll give ya Flying instead, with Swoobat and Emolga as two'a your team members. I'll edit in their movesets tomorrow, as at the moment I'm tired and I'd probably make their movesets boring 'n unoriginal or somethin'.
