You realize that Jynx is an in-game trade that you make for a Poliwhirl in Cerulean City? Do in-game trades really count?
Get an Aggron, it must always know at least two Steel attacks and you can't teach it any physical moves by TM or Move Tutor.
I will start a challenge on both Emerald and FireRed
Rules
-No evolution requirements
-Max Three Move Restrictions
-Must have at least two pokemon available before second gym.
Let me have it.

Let me have it.
For Emerald, get a Zubat, name it Dracula, it must always know either Leech Life or Giga Drain.
(I know the rules say one Pokemon per person per post but these are two separate games so...)
For FireRed, take a Gyarados, name it Drachen you cannot teach it Dragon Rage.
Jrat, get a Treecko, it must learn Mega Drain before evolving into a Grovyle and must keep it until it evolves into a Sceptile, where you can only delete it if you teach it Giga Drain.
So, it looks like my team will be:
Dustox named Mothra. I MUST evolve a Wurmple into it, and if it becomes a Silcoon, reset the entire file.
Female Makuhita named Maki Maki. It Can evolve only after soloing one of Winona's pokemon. Must have the move attract and must use attract whenever facing the opposite sex.
Wingull who I shall name Pippi. It isn't allowed to learn any moves by level-up, except the ones I get when I catch it. I can only evolve it once it's forgotten the moves it had when caught.
Loudred (haven't decided on a name for it yet). It must know Uproar forever and cannot evolve to Exploud until I am already battling the Elite 4.
Aggron, it must always know at least two Steel attacks and I can't teach it any physical moves by TM or Move Tutor.
Treecko. It must learn Mega Drain before evolving into a Grovyle and must keep it until it evolves into a Sceptile, where I can only delete it if you teach it Giga Drain.
I probably start around 1-2 CST, I also being recording and uploading to youtube.com.

Pokemon Sapphire Challenge - Update #1
For those who don't remember or don't want to look back, here's my assigned team:
I've already gotten Mudkip, Wingull, Shroomish, and Slakoth, with the first three being female and the last being the required male (it took a hell of a long time to find one though...)
Anyways, I just solo'd Roxanne with Naptime the Slakoth, and it was really easy. All I had to do was grind up to level 19, when Slakoth learns Faint Attack. The grinding part wasn't too bad; the tediousness was due to Slakoth's low leveling speed rather than it's ability (since it ends up being that you OHKO 99.9% of the wild pokemon with Cut). So yeah, I'm going to get the damn Goods next, then head to Dewford for the second part of Naptime's evolution condition: soloing one of Brawly's pokemon.
For those who don't remember or don't want to look back, here's my assigned team:
-Slakoth M (Naptime): Solo Roxanne; evolve into Vigoroth only after soloing one of Brawly's; evolve into Slaking ASAP; keep Yawn throughout; teach it Rest ASAP and keep the move from then on
-Gulpin (Heartburn): Must solo Wattson's Magnemite or Magneton to evolve into Swalot; cannot learn Sludge Bomb
-Wingull (Gulliver): Must solo one of Wattson's Pokemon to evolve into Pelipper (no items used); Teach Shockwave ASAP and use it as first move and twice against any ground types it fights
-Shroomish (Shrooms): Must solo one of Flannery's while under level 38 to evolve into Breloom
-Spoink: Only 1 attacking move; Must solo one of the Elite 4 to evolve into Grumpig
-Mudkip (HATRED): Cannot learn Surf; Cannot evolve into Marshtomp until it learns Hydro Pump
-Gulpin (Heartburn): Must solo Wattson's Magnemite or Magneton to evolve into Swalot; cannot learn Sludge Bomb
-Wingull (Gulliver): Must solo one of Wattson's Pokemon to evolve into Pelipper (no items used); Teach Shockwave ASAP and use it as first move and twice against any ground types it fights
-Shroomish (Shrooms): Must solo one of Flannery's while under level 38 to evolve into Breloom

Texas, take a Breloom that can't learn any STAB moves except Mach Punch and Absorb
@Texas Cloverfield - catch a makuhita and name it muscles. It must learn belly drum and focus energy.
Seriously? The only non-STAB move that Breloom naturally learns is Headbutt. i guess there's also Return and Sludge bomb (lol). Either way, this Breloom is going to be walled like hell by Ghost types.
Still has Spore though, and leech seed, so it's not too bad -- just to clarify, I mean moves which get STAB, not all grass/fight moves.
EDIT: It also has Iron Tail and Thunderpunch (tutor only, though), and fury cutter (lol)

Remember, Texas is doing this in Emerald, so Thunderpunch is still special (though for my first Pal Park I did teach my Breloom the move). lol at 60 special attack. i guess you could use Stun Spore too...and Mega Kick/Punch (how are those NOT fighting moves...?) and Double Edge through tutoring...
Hmmm, you raise a good point... I'ma edit my OP

Emerald has greater development. More people doing the challenge in Hoenn I guess.

Texas, take a Charmeleon for Fire Red, and don't evolve it (unless that counts as an 'evolution requirement', in which case you just won't teach it Flamethrower).
My own challenge is progressing as expected...my Slakoth earned her right to evolve by taking out Brawly's Machop, and I'm currently in Mauville...Wattson is providing the expected roadblock, since even though Gulpin can easily take out Magnemite by himself, Wingull is another story. Fortunately, if I can score a crit Water Gun on Voltorb it should OHKP, so it's only a matter of time. I should note that the only reason I'm even bothering to try and evolve Wingull is because I don't want to resort to an HM Slave for Surf.

I'd really prefer if they stuck to personality/gender!
Texas:
FireRed: Get a Vaporeon, it must always know Helping Hand and you can't get Ice Beam from the Game Corner to teach it to it (any other Ice Beam TM you find is fine).
Emerald: Get a Machamp, it must know Dynamic Punch.
Update: I'm fighting Team Galctic in Veilstone with this team:
Shellos - Lv. 41 (F) - Quiet - Sticky Hold - Surf/Body Slam/Mud Bomb/Hidden Power
Bibarel (Big Mouth) - Lv. 41 (F) - Lonely - Unaware - Strength/Surf/Water Gun/Rock Smash
Torterra (Qat) - Lv. 41 (F) - Jolly - Overgrow - Wood Hammer/Rock Climb/Bite/Leech Seed
Tropius - Lv. 41 (M) - Bold - Chlorophyll - Magical Leaf/Razor Leaf/Body Slam/Whirlwind
Kadabra - Lv. 42 (M) - Timid - Inner Focus - Psychic/Confusion/Reflect/Teleport
Medicham (Om) - Lv. 44 (F) - Lonely - Pure Power - Hi Jump Kick/Force Palm/Fire Punch/Confusion
Surprisingly, Shellos hasn't been that bad despite being a NFE Pokemon.
