Pokemon XY Starter Challenge

[Solid]

Hm. Well considering the fact I haven't seen a challenge that struck me as "challenging" for quite a while, this actually strikes my interest. Since i'm getting X, I guess I could try this.

How do we sign up? I'm interested.

 

[Redlatios]

Aaaalright... Squirtle, Chikorita, Blaziken, Piplup, Snivy, Fennekin.

 

[Midoriya]

All you have to do is post you want to try it. Added RedLatios, Solid, and Feraligatr to the list.

 

[Gizmodo]

YES i will

May I? Sounds like a fun challenge to me. My pokemon shall be.

1. Venusaur
2. Feraligatr
3. Sceptile
4. Infernape
5. Samurott
6. Final evolution of Fennekin

Sounds like a good starter team to me. I shall play this on my X version if I get it.

To any more recent challengers I have spare bred starters on my White 2 save, the full list can be found in my blogs!

I can trade to Black/White or Black 2/White 2 or we can come up with a deal now and trade on X/Y when the PokeBank is released!

Thanks again FMB for providing a service for this challenge, it's really helpful.

We're now in the same month XY will be released!

Can I trade for some when I get my X?
I was breeding them on my Black, but ive lost it
Edit: Nevermind, I found it

I've included this thread in my own,would appreciate it if you did the same

Okay, adding now.


EDIT: Also, a notice. The Pokemon XY starter challenge has a confirmed date now. The challenge will run from January 1st to January 31st 2014. You must start the challenge on January 1st and complete it by the 31st to receive a prize. I will need suggestions for a prize and volunteers for the prizes. I've added Flying Mint Bunny to the helpers list, and I'll add anyone else to helpers list that would like to provide services for the challenge or prizes. There is a new rule. You must post a screen shot of your starter team when you start the challenge, and one whenever you beat a gym. You may not use any mega items on your team, or items at all for that matter. You must keep a team of six different region starters throughout the game or your challenge is void. You must also have two grass types, water types, and fire types on your team or your challenge is void. You may not catch Pokemon either. If you do, your challenge is void. If you have to receive a Pokemon or legendary during the game to continue, you must put it in your box and release it. Now as far as competitive rules go. If your entire team faints and you black out, then you must start the challenge over. You are allowed to use medicine during battle and Pokemon centers when you reach one as much as you like though. If you use any hacked Pokemon your challenge is automatically void. Whenever you battle someone important, like a rival, gym leader, elite four, or champion, you may only use as many starter Pokemon as Pokemon they use. The first post will be edited with this update.

I've edited one of the rules. I decided one mega evolution item is allowed, but all other items are not allowed still.

Strange. Usually during most pokemon challenges it's taboo to use any starter because most of them are OP. I personally wouldn't participate in this because it seems like it'll be extremely easy, but I think this challenge has inspired me to create a 6-starter competitive team. Good luck to anybody participating in the challenge!

I think that you should add the rule of having at least one starter from each generation (don't know whether this is already a rule).

IN FACT COUNT ME IN! This challenge feels like it'd be fun. Btw you might want to advise people on using Pokemon bank to safely secure their teams/pokemon already on their x/y games.

It's a challenge because you can't catch any other Pokemon along the way, and it's tempting to use a different Pokemon than your starter team. Also, the second thing you said is already a rule, in fact it's the only way this is considered a new challenge. 6 generations = 6 different starter Pokemon in a team. And I'll add you to the list. I'm pretty sure I covered using Pokemon Bank in the main post, but I'll go ahead and check too.

EDIT: Oops, it wasn't there. I added another section about how to assemble your team and why this is challenging. It's in the first post now.

EDIT: I'm still accepting helpers btw and sign-ups. Both will close by December 31st 2013 and there is no limit to how many people that can either help or join.

Decided to bump this because we're getting closer to the release of Pokemon Bank, and only a little less than five weeks till this event begins!
