How to assemble your team and why this is challenging:
To assemble your team, you will have to use Pokemon Bank's transfer system to transfer a generation two starter (Cyndaquil, Chikorita, or Totodile) to your XY game, a generation four starter (Chimchar, Turtwig, or Piplup) to your XY game, and a generation five starter (Tepig, Snivy, or Oshawott) to your XY game. You will already be given a generation six starter, obviously, in the beginning of the game. You will also be given a choice of generation one's starters during the game, so you do not need to transfer one. Also, as the Torchic download event is available till January 15th, you will be able to use it as your third generation starter. The games you need are as follows: Pokemon Black/White/B2/W2, Pokemon Heartgold/Soulsilver, Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, and Pokemon X/Y. You may be thinking this will be easy using a full team of starters. Why is this challenging you ask? Well, if you've read the rules, you'll know that people will be tempted to catch and use different Pokemon in their team which is not allowed, and there are other rules that make it challenging. I hope you'll sign-up and have a fun, challenging time.

I actually thought of this idea on Pokemon Showdown. Sort of, just the idea of getting a bunch of starters. For anyone that doesn't know how, here:

Pokemon Bank and Transporter are free to use for the first month you get the game, running till January 31st. During this time, you will:

1. Start your game with the new save. Get your starters and Torchic{if still avaliable by your time}, then transport them to your Pokemon Bank. Reset and choose different starters. Do this until you have every starter.

That's the method.

I like your idea, and I'll do this. Definitely!

Thanks for helping give specific info about how to do it. Thanks, and good luck! I'll add you to the list. :)
 
I don't really understand how this would be a challenge... If anything it's making the game easier.

That's just what it's called. It's really just to see if people can stand it. A lot of people are going to say no. It's not really referring to whether it's easy or not.
 
Everyone will be wanting to use other Pokemon rather than 6 freaking starters, which is why it can be difficult to do. Besides, GF isn't giving us extra starters to be nice. There must be a challenge in X/Y.
 
Sign me up for this!

I'm most likely getting both X and Y, and I plan on using X as my main game so I'll play through the challenge on Y. I'll get started soon with breeding Totodile (SS), Turtwig (Plat) and Tepig (W2) to move onto W2 and then put on Pokemon Bank when its available!

Okay, thanks! I'll add you to the list. :)


And Kippla knows what I meant. It will still be a challenge because some people will want to catch a non-starter.
 
If I'm allowed to but both games, I'll play one normally and try this on the other. I'll probably be quite good at this, because if I catch pokemon they usually don't get used anyway, I spend all my time training one team to be mega OP.

I'll go ahead and sign you up, just in case. :)
 
The only problem I can see right now is that Pokemon Bank isn't out until late December so we'll have to wait to start the challenge... Oh well, gives me time to breed some good starters with good egg moves!
 
I can't say I'll do this for my first ever playthrough of the game. But if I do manage to somehow end up bored after doing everything possible on my first playthrough, I may consider doing it at a much later date.
 
If I can do it on a second playthrough, I'll totally do it. :)

Oh, and question! Do I have to use unevolved starters?
 
Do you mean not use any starter that's already evolved?

Yeah. Like do I have to start with Squirtle or Snivy, or can I start right away with Blastoise and Serperior (forgot Snivy's names, hah).

- - - Post Merge - - -

Because I already have a set of all the starters, both male and female, in my Black game, and I don't particularly want to breed them, though I will if necessary.
