Miscellaneous Adventures
Well, we have a Nuzlocke thread, which also carries other relatedlockes in it as well, and I believe we have a monotype thread buried somewhere, but what about other adventures?
I give you all the Miscellaneous Adventures thread! This can be used for any playthrough or challenge you'd like. Playing through Red for nostalgia? You can recap it here. Playing Emerald and want to write a bit of a first-person perspective, maybe not quite a full fic, but in-character? Go ahead. Gift-only challenges, no-Center challenges, or just something made up entirely? It's all welcome and encouraged. Who knows, we might just be able to make something really fun together. This is also a thread where people can exchange ideas and get input. Want to do a preset team of only six you can use in the playthrough as your challenge, but want it to be quirky and not stale? You can ask UPNers, and they can tell you "use X" or something of the like. Want a random egg run? You can ask folks to donate eggs for the cause. There are no rules and the points don't matter. So toggle that ON button and let's have some fun. |

I enjoyed taking the Pokedex Challenge, where you try to fill out the Pokedex while progressing through the game. It's fiendishly difficult to do, especially considering some of the later-level evolution chains, but the idea is that you should have as much of the Pokedex completed as possible before challenging the Elite Four. Obviously you remove stuff that's version-exclusive or unavailable before you begin.

So, to start, I decided to come up with a new challenge. The rules are as follows:
- No buying healing items. - You may buy 1 Ball every time you beat a Gym Leader, but may not buy any otherwise, subsisting only on what you can find or are given (a spare stock of Balls may be kept for Shiny purposes but may not be used otherwise). - A Pokemon may not be ordered any move unless it is A) a STAB move (including same-type status moves), or B) a Normal-typed move (moves like Natural Gift and Hidden Power do not count and are illegal, with the addendum that any Pokemon learning Hidden Power by level is allowed it, however moves like Me First and Assist are Normal and are in the Status category). Essentially, no off-type, including off-type status. EDIT: Normalise and the related abilities, such as Refrigerate and Pixilate allow use of foe-targeting moves that are affected by them. - After Gym 3 is beaten, this extends to all damaging Normal moves as well, for all non-Normals. Normal Status moves are still allowable for all. I've not decided whether or not to play with faint = death, and it's not come up yet. I'm playing this on Y, and my idea was that I'd decide on an MVP after I beat the Champion, and the MVP will earn a spot on my ASB squad. I started off as Serena, as I've never used her before. After being disappointed at the lack of ginger option for her, I chose sandy-haired Serena. I named her Robin as I tend to default to that name. Beginning story elements are always the same, so no real need to cover that. I assigned the starters numbers from right to left, and asked Skype TO for two numbers 1-3. 2 and 1 were chosen, leaving me with Chespin. Happy day, as he's my favourite starter. Like, not just favourite in Kalos, but overall. I struggled with a nickname. I feel I don't nickname in-game enough. I tried Nutsy, as he's a nut, and as an FFTA reference, but the game said I couldn't do that. Weird, but I get it. Then I tried Spiky, because, well, he's Spiky and his line's signature move is Spiky Shield. This was also rejected. Best I can tell is they censor "spik" for being a slur (although it's spelled wrong). So, for the lulz, I tried Racist, figuring if they disallowed those others, they'd probably reject it, too. The game let it through. So now I had Racist the Chespin. I caught a few more Pokemon, most notably Talonflame87 the Fletchling and Nala the Litleo. Racist learned Rollout! Didn't let him learn Bite. And then when time came to learn Leech Seed, I overwrote the unused Rollout for it. Nala had some trouble with the Santalune Gym's first Gym Trainer, with a Ledyba. Confusion and Rivalry working against you is never fun. However, She swept the rest of the gym, including Viola, handily. Being one of the few who will be able to use both Normal and another type later in the run, I think she'll be a great member of the team. Not much else to report. Got Exp Share, caught a couple Pokemon. I kinda want to have my entire team rotating. Probably won't happen. Team: Bloo: Panpour Lv 9 (M) Nala: Litleo Lv 17 (F) Racist: Quilladin Lv 16 (M) Talonflame87: Fletchling Lv 16 (M) Zippy: Zigzagoon Lv 10 (M) Joshua: Ralts Lv 1 (M) Box: Derpface: Bunnelby Lv 3 (F) Badges: 1 Seen: 34 - Obtained: 8

So as some of you may know from Skype and the whatgigs I have a White 2 Challenge mode run going. I was playing a regular game but my honor states that:
As of now, the team is
Not much else to say here, thanks for reading. I might play some tonight and see how that goes.

So, I've decided that fainted = dead = boxed, but I can use Revives, Max Revives, and Rare Candies to, well, revive them. If I use of of the former two after the Pokemon has already been boxed and is therefore healed, I add it back to my team and out of the dead box, and just toss the Revive or Max Revive. If I use the Rare Candy, I just use it and poof.
Since I can't buy healing items, this severely limits my revival methods but isn't quite as harsh a permadeath as Nuzlocke carries. |

After seeing Connor and Blaze talk about their Randomizer shenanigans, I had to give it a go. I downloaded the randomizer and applied the changes, then ran the ROM for Platinum.
Spoiler: show Stay tuned for more of Red's Wild Randomizer! Last edited by Red Panda; 09-05-2014 at 01:15 AM. |
