You get the Odd Egg. Name it SurpriseBS.
Pichu--Roll a die. If it lands on 5 or 6, re-roll. On other numbers, these are the only amount of moves it may use(e.g. if you roll 2, you can only use the 2 moves in the first 2 slots, no switching of moves, ignore everything below)
Cleffa--Must solo Red Gyarados in 3 moves. Must solo Karen in 9 moves. Must solo Surge's Raichu, Erika's Jumpluff and Sabrina's Alakazam in a total of 13 moves.
Igglybuff--Must solo Whitney, Morty and Janine in a total of 36 moves.

Magby--It must solo the entire of Mt. Mortar and all the gym trainers in Misty's gym(you don't have to solo Misty if you don't want to). Cannot use Electric or Ice attacks.

Yeah, these restrictions are meant to troll you. Have fun. :)
Sweet. Haven't started because I want my entire team picked, starter and all.
Reposting: I'll do a Blue Scramble. No nicknames. Try to make them fun and hopefully allow me to work in the HMs on them. I can also use Yellow and Stadium. Go
1. (Starter)
2. Gastly, must solo 10 Ground types to evolve once, solos all Koffing family in Koga's gym, can evolve again, solos Giovanni (like a boss) [Quite funny challenge :P]
3. Magikarp, must learn Surf and Strength when it evolves [Making my life that much easier]
4. Voltorb, must learn Explosion, must fight against Elite Four and use Explosion if ever in the red (in a theatrical manner) [All I have to say is "Wow"]
5. First fished Pokémon in Vermillion, Goldeen - solo 15 (mythical beasts), Krabby - all physical and Crabhammer, Poliwag - can't attack awake foe, Shellder - can only attack with Clamp until fighting 3 trainer Slowpokes, then must keep Clamp and use it first turn it's switched in
6. Meowth, must solo trainers and use Pay Day for money, only gambling using money Meowth earned, must play slots and get 7-7-7 to evolve, and when evolved, get rid of any gambling money it has earned, then must use all Normal moves and solo Lance [That's going to be a bitch]

You get a Cyndaquil. It can't have more than one move of the same type. When it evolves into Typhlosion, you must give it 4 new moves, either by tutor or TM/HM
1.Cyndaquil-Cannot have more than 1 move of the same type. When Typhlosion, must teach new moves, either by TM/HM or tutor.
2.Odd Egg-SupriseBS. Restrictions to add.
Zacc, I give you a Voltorb, named Vegeta. When it evolves, it must know Explosion/Selfdestruct. Use it against the E4. When it begins to go in the red, play the audio from Vegeta's Final Explosion, including the lines. When Vegeta starts to go boom, use the move.
@Vratix- The only way to catch a Maril here is to surf and catch it. This means that soloing Flannery will be impossible as i will not have surf here.
I can either solo a different gym leader or catch an earlier Marill and still solo Flannery.
@Zac, when you get the SuperRod, use it in Vermillion City and catch the first Pokemon you fish up. (Note: You don't have to use the SuperRod, only carry it).
@MinatoArisato, take a Machop, Nickname it Hero (Or, if recieved by Trade in Goldenrod, NN the Drowzee Hero and just imagine that it's called Hero).
- Have it solo every Pokemon it faces, to show it's Heroism. May evolve after proving it's true heroics and conquering common fears; 15 Dark Types, 10 Bug types and 5 Ghost types.
Also, I'm going to be taking a CAP ASB Scramble. 8 TC to spend, please don't try give a restriction if you don't have a basic understanding of the game. Umm... No trading? Otherwise, have at me. =]
Believes itself to be a Mighty Hunter of Mythical Beasts. Unicorns, Dragons, Narwhales, Vampires. Solo 15 should make you King of Beasts (Wink wink =])
Mad because of the lack of decent Coverage. All moves must be Physical, with the Exception of CrabHammer, which *Must* be learnt before Evolution.
Amateur Hypnotherapist. Cannot attack a Conscious (Awake) foe.
Seeks true love, but cannot truly show it. Only Attacking Option is Clamp, to show it's clingy nature.
Have it solo 3 Trained Slowpoke before it finally gives up on truly connecting with them and evolves. May know any attacking moves now, but must still keep Clamp and lead with it every time it's switched in.

Oh goodness, it's like Scrambler's Christmas with all these people asking for Scrambles.
@Addiethunder
You get MoarStatus the Slugma. It's moveset must consist of the following:
-Smog
-Yawn
-Ember -> Flamethrower
-Secret Power/Body Slam (if you want to grind to 60)
Inflict Poison, Sleep, Burn, and Paralysis ten times each to evolve. Solo Norman to show him that Facade is for wimps. Solo Glacia for funzies.
@Zacchaeus
You get a Meowth. This Meowth has a bit of a gambling addiction. You may want to keep a notepad handy for this guy, because he can only gamble money that he earns, either by soloing trainers or with Pay Day. take your money and buy some coins for the game corner and hit the slots. Win three jackpots (three 7's in a row) in order to evolve. He instantly has remorse his gambling habit, so go to a PokeMart and spend all of the money he has earned (to the nearest $100) and then toss all of what you bought. The only thing he wants to be now is a normal Persian, so he may only use Normal moves for the rest of the game. Solo Lance for fun.
@Minato
Reserving a Poke, I need to get to sleep.

Hey Simon, buy a male Ralts. It has to be Modest natured, and has to evolve into Gardevoir. It is to be nicknamed "It's A Trap!!!!!!"
Oh, and it may not learn Shadow Ball or Psychic until it evolves into Gardevoir.
If that's what you're looking for, have fun!

Overall, it looks like a fun run so far. I still need a starter and at least one more Pokemon to begin this run (I'll accept extra ones in addition, if there's extra.).
I walked right into that, didn't I? Well the game is Ruby. Magikarp should be a beast, once it evolves. If I managed to train a Swalbu into it's evolution, I can survive this.
2.
So it can only learn moves that are exclusive to these flying types and not moves that everybody can learn? Interesting, should be a good challenge.
3.
So it needs a Golbat set from Gen I. Trollbat it is then!
4.
I've never used a Slugma before, so it should be good. With the Norman part, I'm going to have to split those duties with Trollbird.

Addiethunder, your team is looking really Electric-weak. So I'm going to give you Jeweler the Trapinch! Jeweler is incredibly excited to be a part of a game called Pokemon Ruby, but he's also heard so much about Sapphire and Emerald as well. He's so fascinated by how version-exclusive Pokemon can just appear and disappear from Hoenn based on what game you're in that he's determined to solo all these Pokemon.
In addition, he cannot evolve into Vibrava until learning Dig, and can only evolve into Flygon until getting some tutelage from the best Dragon trainer in Hoenn.
To translate/summarize:
Solo every Pokemon you see that is absent from any Hoenn game. (Seedot, Lotad, Surskit, Zangoose, Seviper, Lunatone, Solrock, Meditite, Roselia, Mawile, Sableye and their families, as well as killing Groudon when you find it)
Evolve into Vibrava after learning Dig, and into Flygon after defeating Drake.

@asbestos: You get Caprodent the Bidoof. It must keep Hidden Power and solo the gym leader or E4 member corresponding to its type. If its type is Poison, Dark, Flying, or Dragon, have it solo every rival encounter. Have it evolve after the Hearthome rival encounter.
And here is my third solo update, covering three gyms at once!
Times fainted: 16 (twice by gym trainers -.-, twice by Maylene)
Game time: 10:47
And here is my third solo update, covering three gyms at once!

DinoPowah the Rampardos (M)
Lv.56 Brave nature
- Surf (victory move)
- Endeavor (failure move)
- Scary Face (failure move)
- Payback (victory move)
Finally got my first two victory moves, compensating for the loss of my two best moves, Headbutt and Focus Energy. Seems a bit overleveled, though. Current LVP and MVP.
And the HM slaves:
Farfetch'd clearing fog and flying people around
Ambipom having fewer rocks to crush
Bibarel still lying in rejection

It learns Bug Bite at level 16 in Platinum.
I'll edit in a challenge for you... just wanted to square this away.
You get Reject the Starly. It believes it can take on anything, despite having a ATK- nature. When it evolves, it is shunned by peers, so it attempts to prove itself by soloing a gym. When it evolves, it loses it Reject name, and becomes Acceptable.
To summarize
Catch a Starly with a Atk- nature(cannot have a boosting characteristic)
Solo every encounter it gets in.
When it evolves, it must solo any gym that isn't the Grass type.
When it it evolves again, it becomes Acceptable.
...okay? If you're not okay with switching or using Bide to gain experience I'm surprised you're doing a scramble at all.
From me, you get Baby Gunk the Croagunk! (Baby Gunk must be the first Croagunk you can catch.) Baby Gunk is terrified of, well, a lot of things. For instance, it's scared of anything that activates the 5th Gen ability Rattled, so it must switch out whenever it is hit by a Dark, Bug or Ghost-type move. In addition, its ability also affects what it's scared of. If it has Anticipation, then it must immediately switch out any time Anticipation makes it shudder. If it has Dry Skin, it may not fight any Water or Fire-type Pokemon. (The ability is a little too complicated for Baby Gunk to understand.) He may evolve into Toxicroak after soloing Candice (during that battle, you don't need to switch him out for any of the above reasons). After evolution, he becomes incredibly overconfident and changes his name to SuperCroak. Now, in any situation that would force you to switch out as a Croagunk, SuperCroak may not switch out and must stay in until the battle is over or he faints. In addition, he must have at least one special move at all times (whenever possible, of course).
You get the Veilstone City Porygon. For it to evolve to Porygon 2, it must have Sharpen and can never forget it. For it to evolve to Porygon-Z, it must have Defense Curl and can never forget it
Edit @ MinatoArisato: You must have a death wish to request "hard stuff" in a Scramble
Update on Scramble
1. Cyndaquil-It can't have more than one move of the same type. When it evolves into Typhlosion, you must give it 4 new moves, either by tutor or TM/HM.
2. Odd Egg-Depends on what comes out.
3. Reserve
4. Machop-Have it solo every Pokemon it faces, to show it's Heroism. May evolve after proving it's true heroics and conquering common fears; 15 Dark Types, 10 Bug types and 5 Ghost types.
5. Spinarak-It must keep Constrict forever, and solo Whitney using only Constrict, after which it can evolve.
6.
Come on, give some hard stuff to use.
Zacc, I'm a masochist. I enjoy the challenge and frustration.

So big update because I'm on a roll
6 badges, Spearow actually dealt with Erika way easier than I expected (It tanks Mega Drain like a boss so it had plenty of time to Swift those things down to KO) so now it's Fearow. I got Krabby which is a bit of a pain to train admittedly but it's pretty cool when it uses Crabhammer to crit things. Rhyhorn is cool even with just Stomp, which surprised me... Oh and when catching those 9 in the Safari Zone, one Pokemon had every single stat as odd. A level 33 Nidorino and it didn't have any restrictions, it's basically TMs I'm not using heaven! It has Horn Attack/Thunderbolt/Ice Beam/Surf. Oh and Wigglytuff soloed Zapdos so there's that.
Venusaur Lv. 44
Wigglytuff Lv. 43
Fearow Lv. 42
Krabby Lv. 41
Nidoking Lv. 42
Rhyhorn Lv. 41
