Receiving Challenge

[Delibird1]

well hiya
i found this challenge on some other forum i dont quite remember which but

rules
1. you must only use pokemon received
(list at bottomm)
2. you can catch other pokemon but you cant use them
( hm slaves are fine but if all of your received pokemon faint you must purposely lose)
3.fossils are allowed.
reasoning for this: you find a fossil you give it to a guy and you come back and receive it so it is received.
4. you cannot buy pokemon
(game corner, magikarp salesmen)
5. you cannot breed so you have more than one
you cannot use pokemon you get in a trade

I don't get how this works at all...

What do you mean by "only use the Pokemon received"? Does someone give you a challenge? If it is, it seems like it's just a Scramble Challenge with one Pokemon.

no pokemon people in game give you like the starters; prof. gives the to you so it is received

and bill gives you eevee thats in game
you do it on your own

 

[chocolate-kipp]

Lol, oh. Was confused, sorry. This actually looks pretty fun. I might do it on Pokemon Red. >_>

 

[Its_A_Random]

So this is basically an in-game run where you can't catch wild Pokemon? Okay...

Cool GL also sapphire is hard
Your starter must sweep thaat cannot be stressed enogh
reasons:
Wobbuffett can't dirctly do damge
The fossils suck
Cstform sucks
That's for RS
For emerald you can get both fossils + beldum
COMPLETE PACKAGE

Also its supposed to be a challenge which is why we sant just have people run around getting scizors and heatrans now can wwe

 

[deinosaur]

This does not look fun at all. If you want to totally neuter yourself this badly, play it with just starter.

 

[Delibird1]

Well its up to you I didn't care to much for the nuzlocke or scramble challenges

 

[Vratix]

This does not look fun at all. If you want to totally neuter yourself this badly, play it with just starter.

The problem is, that with the exception of yellow version, that's what more than half of each of these games are looking to end that way.

In half of them you only have one pokemon by the time you get surf and in a handful more you have 2. This looks like the team the first time I played Red version when I was 10: overpowered starter, two things in the 30s and bupkis else.

Sure you COULD restrict yourself and then play catch up but Grinding is less of a challenge and more of a chore.

It seems neat but I would only do it with 2 of the games (and let's face it, in Yellow it's almost better that way).

 

[Texas Cloverleaf]

Ive never officially done this but I have used 5/6 being recieved and the best game to do it in is FR/LG. Otherwise it isn't as fun as a Scramble as there is extremely limited replayability.

 

[Pallas Athena]

OK, my FireRed Nuzlocke went similar to this, and it could have been a lot better without this type of play.
Reasons:
1) Yay, I soloed a leader eith only a ten-level advantage. That was challenging.
2) It is just more dificult to work with, as most obtainable Pokemon are almost at the league which just adds more stuff to do when grinding.

Honestly, it's kind of pointless, and how most people play the game anyways when they start off. I don't see what it has over the Nuzlocke challenge or Scramble Challange.

 

[Arcticblast]

In RBY/FRLG, you can get both Hitmon- and Eevee at the same time, which is a plus.

I'd allow myself to catch Pokemon for in-game trades if I did this.

 

[Zacchaeus]

I've done game solos using only the starter plus an HM slave or two, and it's boring. This might be a little bit better, but you're just so limited that you kind of know how things will turn out before they begin

 

[Alan]

you forgot aerodactyl in yellow version

 

[Plusle]

This is basically a starter grind run. I can do that easy.

 

[Sprocket]

HGSS would be a joke. You receive the following Pokemon for free even before getting the National Pokedex:

* HGSS Starters (Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile)
* Slugma
* Mareep
* Wooper
* Togepi
* Eevee (Eevolution of choice)
* Spearow
* Shuckle
* Tyrogue (To evolve into your Hitmon of choice)
* Dratini (with Extremespeed if you wish)

The first four you can receive before the first gym, Togepi immediately after the first gym. With those five alone you have an incredibly balanced team to play thru the rest of the game. Nevermind once you get Eevee or Dratini (though substantial grinding would be required to make Dratini useful).

 

[Delibird1]

ok then do it on DPPt or RS because those are hard emerald is easy though.

 

[Texas Cloverleaf]

Platinum gives you starter, Riolu, Eevee and Prygon. Not exactly difficult.

 

[Sprocket]

Well except that it's a fairly large gap between getting your starter and getting Riolu and Eevee. Although you do receive Togepi in Platinum also.

I might have to give this a try on HGSS without getting Slugma, Mareep, and Wooper.
