Alright, I've come up with a new challenge for this week and maybe a few after.
The "N" challenge:
Based around N from Black and White, this challenge is going to be a little different. You know how N always used local Pokemon to battle you and released them soon after? Well yeah, you're going to be doing that. The rule is that after every gym battle you need to release (or at least permanently box) all your Pokemon (except for one used to catch your first replacement, which is released immediately after capturing it). The new Pokemon you catch to replace them with must be from routes/areas you have not visited yet. An exception to this rule applies only when you need to use an HM to proceed but nothing available to you in new areas can learn it, in which case you can backtrack and catch a Pokemon that can use that HM.
I don't recommend doing this challenge with the 1st gen or their remakes due to the shallow level curve of the wild Pokemon in those games and the non-linear nature of the games complicating the second rule. I also don't think it'd work very well with the Colosseum games, or with GSC/HGSS postgame. Everything else should work alright though.
Hangout is this Sunday at 2pm EST, same as usual. See you there!
EDIT: Just gunna use this same post for info for this week too since it's gunna be the same. See yah in a few.
EDIT2: Same thing for this week. It'll be the same thing again, since most people are really just starting their N challenges due to ORAS and stuffs.
EDIT????: Seriously, people still haven't finished their N challenges and I haven't come up with anything else so might as well continue this week as well.
