Including single-typed Pokemon, there are 171 different possible type combinations in the series. By this point nearly all of them have been used, but with over a thousand different Pokemon in existence, inevitably some type pairings get used more than once - and some much more than once. There...

Six Eggs And One Big Quest: Experiencing Gen III-era Kanto to its fullest extent Introduction With all the naive enthusiasm of someone who's just discovered something everyone else has been doing for ages ("ohmygodyouguysdidyouknowthisthingexists?!") I've been getting very into emulating...

Pokemon XD: Blue-and-Yellow Challenge Playing Through Orre the way Genius Sonority (possibly) originally intended Introduction Inspired by Ashenlock, I finally took the plunge and downloaded Dolphin so I could emulate Pokemon games as is the right and proper thing to do. Due to personal and...

Title says it all. I'll probably post some later, but for now, interested to hear some others.

Introduction It's been discussed to death, but many of the older games - and occasionally newer ones - find players facing bosses who specialise in a chosen type despite their region not being particularly abundant in that species. Quite often, NPCs who specialise in an elusive type will bulk...

The 207 Challenge Gotta catch 'em all most of 'em! How many Pokemon can I catch in 60 hours? Introduction Some time ago I posted a thread about the number of Pokemon each title could natively obtain. Rereading it gave me the idea for a brand new challenge! Much as Satoshi Tajiri might have...

I'll preface by saying that this is not a wishlisting thread (quite the opposite, in fact) As you probably know, since Gen V the Pokemon world has expanded outwards from Japan-inspired regions, with games set in regions based on countries and states in Europe and North America. There are...

Pokemon Pearl National Dex No-Heal Challenge Introduction It's near-unanimously agreed by fans that Pokemon Diamond and Pearl have the singular worst regional Pokedex in the entire series. At 151, it's frustratingly small, full of less-than-stellar species, and bafflingly doesn't even contain...

Introduction Having lately bowed to pressure and started paying for a Premium Plan on Pokemon Home, I recently gathered every mythical in the series into one glorious group. For more than a decade, mythical Pokemon were entirely exclusive to events and could not be obtained in normal gameplay...

In a region full of spectacular and unparalleled biodiversity, one man will dare to do the unthinkable - a solo run with AZ's Floette. Welcome, one and all, to my latest challenge. Time for another self-imposed challenge run. This time, I'm stepping out into the wilds of Kalos accompanied...

Introduction Welcome, one and all, to my newest challenge. To do the unthinkable and take on Johto using nothing but Johto's most unique Pokemon - the curious little Unown. Rules Unown and ONLY Unown can be used in-battle for this challenge. All other Pokemon obtained at any point during the...

This one's been a long time coming... Pokemon Adventures Platinum: Battle Frontier Challenge Can I Conquer the Sinnoh Battle Frontier? Introduction Some time ago, in the Gen III Battle Frontier thread, I embarked upon a Pokemon Adventures Emerald: Battle Frontier Challenge, based on the...

Can I obtain all 156 Pokemon in the Unova Pokedex and beat the game in 60 hours? Introduction It's time for another Pokedex completion challenge! This time, we're going to Unova - can I complete the Pokedex before completing the game? Note that for the purposes of this challenge "completing...

Disclaimer before I start: this thread is not intended as a place to brag, argue, or ask for people to trade with you. We've all got a Mew. You ain't special. But do you have one that knows Fake Out and Role Play? Over the years there've been all sorts of event distributions for Pokemon, often...

Pokemon Colosseum: No Snag Challenge Can I beat the game with only Espeon and Umbreon? Introduction Welcome, one and all, to my newest challenge. And the header image is deliciously appropriate because those two are the only companions I plan to take on my upcoming adventure. As anyone...

Countdown: https://logwork.com/countdown-qd3b Introduction I've been breeding lots of nice shiny Pokemon in GSC with cool egg moves as a project to keep me from the crushing despair of my uni work, and it's time for them to actually do something. Being the only generations in the series...

This is definitely procrastination from the uni work I need to be doing but let's ignore that. I've often wondered how many Pokemon in total you can catch in each individual game, without trading or any event add-ons. I became interested in charting it after reading that the box for Pokemon Red...

Introduction Years ago, when I was a stupid child who didn't realise that Ebay sellers don't always tell the truth, I unwittingly made one of the greatest purchases ever. Let me set the scene. Pokemon Emerald had only just come out in Japan, and we in the West were hooked on sites like...

Introduction I'm one of the people who disliked Sword and Shield right from the off. There's no need to go into precisely why; those arguments have been thrashed out to death on here and every other forum on the web. Suffice to say that while I'm a player who has bought every Nintendo handheld...

Back when Diamond and Pearl had just been released, I remember talk turning to the inevitable third game - and what the mascot would be. Surprising as it might be now with hindsight, the fandom was not convinced that the third game mascot would be Giratina. Some people thought it would be...
