Challenge The Scramble Challange

Status
Not open for further replies.
Take a shinx. It must be caught in the first route that it's available in. It must not have intimidate. Its moveset must consist of charge, discharge, swagger, and crunch. You may learn crunch as soon as possible. However, to be able to use the move, you must defeat the highest leveled pokemon of 3 gym leaders with shinx/luxio, without the use of any boosts, or healing items. To evolve into Luxray, you must reach the E4 using Luxio as your leading pokemon during the victory road.
 
Alright, so quick recap:

-Restart (Piplup lvl 9), If pokemon dies, must restart the game. No items can be used on said pokemon whatsoever

-Sandy (Nosepass, not yet caught), Can only choose between physical or special moves during a single battle or gym. Can only evolve after killing off an opponent with Sandstorm damage learned by level-up.

-Eo (Togepi, not yet caught), Cannot learn TMs or HMs and must solo a gym to evolve. Same requirements to evolve a second time. Togekiss can learn TMs and HMs, but cannot use the move re-learner.

-Bruce (Magby, not yet caught), Must be bred from the first Magmar encountered, and can only level up after soloing the canalave gym and learning Sunny Day by level-up. Evolved Magmar cannot participate in the Snow Point gym unless it is the only pokemon left.

-Mettle (Shinxe lvl 3), Caught in first available route, and cannot have Intimidate. Its moves must be Charge, Discharge, Swagger, and Crunch. Crunch can only be used after defeating 3 Gym leader's highest level pokemon. To evolve into Luxray, it must be the leading pokemon through the entire victory road.

Wow, that's some pretty tough stuff there. One more slot left, and I can already see that I'll need to take special precautions for fighting each of the gyms.
 
@BuddyBlueBomber Catch a Bidoof, name it TailSlap. It can only evolve after it Yawned 10 pokémon in a Gym into Sleep and used Amnesia to get +6 SpDef while they were asleep. If they wake up, you need to resleep them. Further, it must always know Tackle and a HM Move. After evolving, you are allowed to forget Tackle and Amnesia.
 
Nominees

Ok guys, as someone asked a while ago I'm now posting the challenges that had votes (I wanted to post the top 3 but there are lots of ties) on each Award. Oh, just remember, they aren't ordered. Also, if you want to vote on everyone else, feel free to do that as this was intended to help the "most forgotten ones".

Also, I was expecting to receive more PMs. I'm talking especially for the people who are here more often (see the top 10, lol) because there are "rookies" who have already voted and page 100 is coming way faster than I thought.

1) Best Scramble Challenger (yeah, we've had more nominees than people who vote on this category because one multiple vote):

Sprocket
zdrup15
auramaster
THreadshot A1 (sorry I had to do this xD)

Vratix

2) Most Impossible Challenge:

Treadshot A1

Paradox808 (the Politoed Hunter one)
Raikaria

3) Toughest Scramble Team:

4) Lamest Challenge:

Paradox808
Hydrattler
DetroitLolcat

5) Most Creative Challenge:

Texas Cloverleaf (the bottom of the post)
doomvendingmachine

uffff, finally done. So these are the "nominees" for the Awards. I personally think that in most cases these are the best for the Awards. Now you have no excuse guys.
 
Damn, i was hoping that my Nuzlocke Piplup, "Restart" would net a place in the "Most impossible challenges" or "Most creative Challenges" section. Damn.

Anyways, BBB, i just noticed i forgot a condition on your Piplup: Once you have all 6 pokemon, it must then be the lowest levelled pokemon on your team. It may be any level before then.
 
@ThatDude: Take a Piplup. It must solo two of Gardenia's pokes to evolve into Prinplup and two of Volkner's pokes to evolve into Empoleon. Besides that, it can never be the highest leveled member of your team (except if you only have one poke)
 
Take a Piplup, bubble may be it's only attacking move and it may not evolve into Prinplup until it Beats Gardenias Roserade (it may know Peck for Gardenia, but must forget it asap once she is beaten. It may replace Bubble with Metal Claw once it evolves again, but may still only have one attacking move.
 
Name it Gooseu. Ghastly must know one level up move it learned as a Ghastly, one it learned as Haunter, and one it learned as Gengar. The other move can be any TM/HM/tutor move you want, and no move relearner.

EDIT: If it hasn't evolved yet, the extra slots must all be level up moves. So, Ghastly will know three level up moves and a filler, Haunter will know one of its level up moves and two of Ghastly's, and Gengar will be as described above.

So you know, Lick sucks, and Hypnosis...is Hypnosis -_-

Also, I am sad to inform you that Gimped has died, being the victim of a cruel crit from a wild Rattata :(

Fortunately, Pefurador is still owning with Peck. I now am in need of a challenge for Bellsprout.
 
Yeah, I didn't vote for nominees because I'd say I joined in around page 70 ish and I wasn't willing to go look back through all those pages. I will deffinatly be voting for the actual awards though

WHY DO THE GOOD DIE YOUNG?!?!?!?!

It must know all of the powder/spore moves at once. Every time it faces an opponent who might have guts/quick feet, you must use either stun spore or poison powder on it.
Name it Garbonzo
 
Can't believe I got nominated. So far it's been pretty smooth sailing. Even parichisuru has been carrying its weight spamming charm against physical attackers. Bidoofs a defensive monster, and monferno is sweeping everything. I'm hoping to get bidoof to level 29 to learn amnesia before Fantina so I can spam amnesia against her ghosts and then sweep.
 
Nanoswine, glad to know Perfurador is still alive. Your bellsprout will be called Carnivore and can only learn and use special attacks.

EDIT: Damn you doom!!!
 
Can't believe I got nominated O_o And for most impossible challenge of all things, usually I try to make mine a little on the easy side.

@BuddyBlueBomber, Eo only has to solo one gym leader's Pokemon, not the whole gym.

@Nanoswine, 60% accuracy to stop a Pokemon for several turns can't be that bad, and you'll get Shadow Ball eventually :)
 
I once again return to bring this thread an off topic post! Sorry about doing this so often guys but I just saw the most epic insult post ever and I had to share. It was on a site reviewing the new Iron Maiden album in the comments section and the poster was responding to a previous poster who had insulted the album. Here is the post. Edit: damn it's long


You swine. You vulgar little maggot. You worthless bag of filth. As they say in Texas. I'll bet you couldn't pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel. You are a canker, a sore that won't go away. I would rather kiss a lawyer than be seen with you. You couldn't attract flies if you were slathered in shit.
You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon.

You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this world. An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done. The best part of you ran down your mother's leg a became a brown spot on the mattress.

I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the very thought of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the dregs of this earth. And did I mention you smell?

Try to edit your responses of unnecessary material before attempting to impress us with your insight. The evidence that you are a nincompoop will still be available to readers, but they will be able to access it more rapidly.

You snail-skulled little rabbit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive its beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to fly briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the frothy pink shame of your ignoble blood. May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of your own trite, foolish beliefs.
You are weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. You are grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. You are foul and disgusting. You're a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on you. Even sheep won't have sex with you. You are unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that reality forgot.
And what meaning do you expect your delusionally self-important statements of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have with us? What fantasy do you hold that you would believe that your tiny-fisted tantrums would have more weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the bite of the snake? You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous and obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a disease, you puerile one-handed slack-jawed drooling meatslapper.
On a good day you're a half-wit. You remind me of drool. You are deficient in all that lends character. You have the personality of wallpaper. You are dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go.

You smarmy lagerlout git. You bloody woofter sod. Bugger off, pillock. You grotty wanking oik artless base-court apple-john. You clouted boggish foot-licking twit. You dankish clack-dish plonker. You gormless crook-pated tosser. You churlish boil-brained clotpole ponce. You cockered bum-bailey poofter. You craven dewberry pisshead cockup pratting naff. You gob-kissing gleeking flap-mouthed coxcomb. You dread-bolted fobbing beef-witted clapper-clawed flirt-gill.

You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise everything about you, and I wish you would go away. I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. So stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid.

Your writing has to be a troll. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know.
I'm sorry. I can't go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me. After this, you my not hear from me again for a while. I don't have enough strength left to deride your ignorant questions and half baked comments about unimportant trivia, or any of the rest of this drivel. Duh.

The only thing worse than your logic is your manners. Maybe later in life, after you have learned to read, write, spell, and count, you will have more success. True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us 'normal' people take for granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. But we sometimes forget that there are 'challenged' persons in this world who find these things more difficult. If I had known that this was your case then I would have never read your post. It just wouldn't have been 'right.' Sort of like parking in a handicap space. I wish you the best of luck in the emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you.

You are hypocritical, greedy, violent, malevolent, vengeful, cowardly, deadly, mendacious, meretricious, loathsome, despicable, belligerent, opportunistic, barratrous, contemptible, criminal, fascistic, bigoted, racist, sexist, avaricious, tasteless, idiotic, brain-damaged, imbecilic, insane, arrogant, deceitful, demented, lame, self-righteous, byzantine, conspiratorial, satanic, fraudulent, libelous, bilious, splenetic, spastic, ignorant, clueless, illegitimate, harmful, destructive, dumb, evasive, double-talking, devious, revisionist, narrow, manipulative, paternalistic, fundamentalist, dogmatic, idolatrous, unethical, cultic, diseased, suppressive, controlling, restrictive, malignant, deceptive, dim, crazy, weird, dystopic, stifling, uncaring, plantigrade, grim, unsympathetic, jargon-spouting, censorious, secretive, aggressive, mind-numbing, arassive, poisonous, flagrant, self-destructive, abusive, socially-retarded, puerile, clueless, and generally Not Good.
 
Going to start now
team is
1.a Buizel named Jet. It can only use either Physical or Special attacks, not both, and must solo a gym leader's highest level Pokemon to evolve By auramaster
2.Bidoof and name it Impractical. It may not learn any HM moves By Nanoswine
3.you get an Abra, preferably the first wild Abra you encounter. If its ability is Synchronize it cannot evolve to Kadabra. If it's male and his ability is Inner Focus he cannot learn special moves, only physical moves. If it's female and her ability is Inner Focus, she cannot learn STAB moves By sprocket
4.take a Stunky. It must know a full moveset of whatever attacking type (special or physical is higher). No non-attacking attacks By Dexington
5.take the first Bronzor you can get. If its ability is Heatproof, it must learn Sunny Day and Solarbeam. If its ability is Levitate, it must learn Earthquake. If it doesn't have said moves by the time you reach Veilstone (the Solarbeam TM can be bought in the department store there, so that's okay), it can never evolve.

(funny enough, Sunny Day and Earthquake are the only Fire and Ground moves that Bronzor can learn)

In addition, Bronzor can learn only one of Extrasensory (or any psychic move with a higher BP) and Gyro Ball. If it has a +SpAtk nature it must get Gyro Ball, and if it has a -Speed nature it must get Extrasensory (or Psychic or whatever). However, if it has a Quiet nature (+SpAtk, -Speed) it is allowed to learn both, and you lucked into an awesome Bronzor/zong. By Ruwisc
6.ThatDude: Take a Piplup. It must solo two of Gardenia's pokes to evolve into Prinplup and two of Volkner's pokes to evolve into Empoleon. Besides that, it can never be the highest leveled member of your team (except if you only have one poke) By Hobbers
 
Alright, seems like my entire team is planned out. I'll make an edited recap as a sort of guideline for myself.

-Restart (Piplup lvl 12), If pokemon dies, must restart the game. No items can be used on said pokemon whatsoever. After having 6 pokemon on the team, it must be the lowest level pokemon at all times.

-Sandy (Nosepass, not yet caught), Can only choose between physical or special moves during a single battle or gym. Can only evolve after killing off an opponent with Sandstorm damage learned by level-up.

-Eo (Togepi, not yet caught), Cannot learn TMs or HMs and must solo a gym leader's pokemon to evolve. Same requirements to evolve a second time. Togekiss can learn TMs and HMs, but cannot use the move re-learner.

-Bruce (Magby, not yet caught), Must be bred from the first Magmar encountered, and can only evolve after soloing the Canalave gym and learning Sunny Day by level-up. Evolved Magmar cannot participate in the Snow Point gym unless it is the only pokemon left.

-Mettle (Shinxe lvl 6), Caught in first available route, and cannot have Intimidate. Its moves must be Charge, Discharge, Swagger, and Crunch. Crunch can only be used after defeating 3 Gym leader's highest level pokemon. To evolve into Luxray, it must be the leading pokemon through the entire victory road.

-TailSlap (Bidoof lvl 3), can only evolve after yawning to sleep ten pokemon in a gym and acquiring +6 Special Defence from Amnesia while they're asleep. It must always know Tackle and an HM, but may forget Tackle and Amnesia upon level-up.

Wow, this team sounds like it's going to be challenging! I've currently got the first three members, and I'm grinding to get them at least level 10 before moving on to the first gym. I'm going to buy a ton of potions/super potions and defeat the gym leader's Cranidos with Mettle(Shinxe) as to fulfill one of his requirements, considering it's the only one I can do this early in the game. Wish me luck!
 
I've got stiff competition for the Creative CHallenge award.
@zdrup15 - The PM where I sent my nominees are also my votes for each category.
 
A little update on my status so far, for those who be interested.

Right now I've spent a few hours grinding, and I think I'm ready to take on the first gym. My main goal in this will be to take out the first two pokemon easily with Piplup's Bubble attack, and bring in Shinx to finish off Cranidos and fulfill one of his requirements. With just learning the move Spark, this should be a lot easier considering it's neutral against Rock types. So without further ado, I take on Gym Leader Roark.

Oreburgh Gym Battle
My pokemon:
Restart(Piplup lvl13)@ N/A
-Pound
-Growl
-Bubble
-Water Sport

Mettle(Shinx lvl13)@ N/A
-Tackle
-Leer
-Charge
-Spark

TailSlap(Bidoof lvl10)@ Quick Claw
-Tackle
-Growl
-Defence Curl
-Rock Smash

Roark's pokemon:
Geodude lvl12
Onix lvl12
Cranidos lvl14

Battle Synopsis
So, Restart makes the perfect pokemon to start out with, with Bubble ripping apart Roark's Geodude and Onix. Geodude goes down with one hit, and Onix hangs on just barely enough to snag a Potion and turning it into a 3HKO. Set up Stealth Rock too, which makes me chuckle a bit considering how useless it is in this particular battle. If only that was true for all pokemon battles, eh? This is good on my part, making whatever challenge Mettle would have on Cranidos that much easier. Once the first two are dealt with, I bring him out (Taking a paltry amount of damage from SR), and first use an X Defense just in case, since his defense is horrid. Headbutt does a lot of damage, as expected. A little too much to attack and use potion though, so decide to take the long way around and use Restart's Growl to bring Cranidos' attack to something more manageable. Restart's current HP is not doing so well after switching into a Headbutt, but it seemed safe enough to sneak in a Growl.

Cranidos' Speed outmatches his, so brings down another Headbutt. My heart raced as I saw the health speed down into the red and end at 1 HP. If Restart would die, I'd be forced to restart my entire game. I really bit the bullet on that one, and on top of that, got flinched into submission. Since I can't use any items on him, I'm forced to switch to TailSlap to try and whittle down his HP enough to snag a kill for Mettle. But that Headbutt, it just rips holes. TailSlap is almost OHKO'd on the switch, so the best I can do is sacrifice him and heal Mettle to try and get some damage in. He finishes off TailSlap with Pursuit, which thinking back was a fairly good move on his part if I had decided to switch instead. With that Stealth Rock up as well, I think again about it not being so useless after all, even though Cranidos would kill Restart since he's faster. This puts all the pressure on Mettle to pull this one out.

I send out Mettle, getting stung once more by those cursed Stealth Rocks, almost like a slap in my face on top of the impending doom that could very well end my experience so early. Fortunately, he's still at a very healthy amount of HP to take on this beast. I select Spark to see, for the first time, if I really could pull this off. Cranidos uses Leer. Leer? Really? Talk about luck! Spark does just enough damage to bring him into yellow, which will most likely 2HKO. Hopefully. Since Cranidos is faster, I'm going to have to take a direct hit from Headbutt with reduced defense and still make the final blow. Here goes nothing...

...Headbutt hits...


...And he survives! Mettle just barely holds onto any remaining life force that could possibly stand such a powerful attack, and in turn hits back a Spark attack. I watch Cranidos' HP slide down from the hit, my eyes fixed onto the line as goes down to red, and eventually the end of the bar. My eyes squint to strain and see if it really worked...

...And his sprite goes down. My heart skips a beat in relief. That was probably the most strenuous battle I've had for as long as I could remember. For anyone who read this all the way through, I commend your patience!

Wow. Talk about intense. On a side note, Restart evolved into Prinplup! Might as well rejoice now before I'm forced to make him my lowest leveled team member when I've gained my entire team. I realize I made a lot of questionable choices in my match, but I'm not exactly what you would call "experienced" either way. I sure did pull it out of my ass, though, which I suppose could be considered a godsend or something else equally miracle-esque. Anyways, that's what has happened so far, so wish me luck as I continue onward!

Edit: Lol, accidentally called Restart Return. Fix'd.
