Hey there, long time lurker first time poster in the Scramble Challenge.
Just recently got the push to want to do one of these, I've successfully done a Ruby Nuzlocke before but at times the stress of losing a 'Mon has really gotten to me, so I figure the Scramble Challenge might be a little more interesting.
I want to start a Heart Gold Scramble, can't promise how great my updates will be but I'll certainly keep the thread informed as I go along.
The basis for my Scramble was Farfetch'd. Since Gen 1 when Dux the Farfetch'd joined me in exchange for a Spearow, I wondered why he simply got no love. Well recently I bred a Farfetch'd with incredible IVs of 31/31/31/28/31/31, and decided I should try a challenge with him.
After years of suffering, this Farfetch'd named Dux wants some revenge, after Pokemon Trainer Red gave him to a family friend, Marshall, as Thanksgiving dinner (Farfetch'd is apparently a delicacy). Realizing eating Dux was wrong, Marshall, decided he wanted to become a Pokemon trainer with Dux at his side. The ultimate motivation: defeat Red and exact revenge for years of abuse and sitting in a computer!
Hopefully that's not breaking too many challenge rules, but that's the start I wanted. Feel free to assign any challenges to Farfetch'd that you want, I'll be happy to raise him and prepare him for all of them. As for the rest of the team, feel free to give me anyone, the biggest bunch of under appreciated losers that can be caught in game earns brownie points. Also, really rare Pokemon like Snubbull are fine too.
You can choose whoever you want as my starter (I'd like Chikorita for the challenge but its not necessary), although that Pokemon will be replaced by Dux as soon as possible, so feel free to assign a point in the story where I can get my starter, which could be any time (for example, Elite Four or something outrageous) or not at all.
Also, if you're feeling really mean, feel free to assign losing conditions, where if I fail that part, I lose the Pokemon (except Dux, he must stay with me always).
Thanks ya'll in advance, looking forward to this.
