Hey Guys,
I have been looking for some more interesting ways to play my favorite games, the Pokemon series of course, and I came across a few ideas.
The Nuzlocke Challenge: This one seems interesting and would definitely up the difficulty of the game.

The Scramble challenge: Again this seems like it would be interesting. The idea of having your party predetermined would definitely make the game a bit harder. Especially if the person choosing your party has a cruel sense of humor.

Instead of going though everything I found I wanted to know what you guys have done to make the games a little more interesting? Also to share some experiences with any challenge.
p.s. I'm going to put this out there just so I don't have any trolls jump down my throat. No, I'm not trying to make Pokemon more interesting because it isn't good enough. Pokemon blue alone has entertained me since its release in Canada and the last time I finished it was in December. I would just like to add a few twists. 8)

I get bored of nuzlockes :x
And no, I like to make my own teams because that's part of the fun.
Otherwise... I guess I've only been trying to get pokemon with good IVs and EVs when I get some time to play pokemon.
-
We already have a nuzlocke thread though.
And you forgot challenges like Mono Type, Mono Colour, Rattata only, etc.

Not to sound like a dick but your ignoring part of my post. Those are just some things I found. I want to know what other people have done. Hence the above question.
-
I usually did a "two-pokemon-only" kind of thing throughout my first time playing, with the exception of using HM slaves when nessecary. It was kind of hard late-game since my two choices didn't like Ice-type moves(Diamond).
-
OCD route: Only use Pokemon in your party with a certain number of letters, or only Pokemon with the same starting letter as your starter, using 3 Pokemon that have 3 moves each and must use a move 3 times in a row if possible, etc.
base only: only pre-evolved forms, including starters
Ditto only >:B

Ditto Only =0 ... that sounds interesting. I'll have to try that one. =)

When you get time? No, there's always time for Pokemon. =) And if I don't have time I make time, because I'm a wizard.

I agree more than 100%. In fact, I agree 9001%.

Just because I can .. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=1006 =)

The example is from a youtube series called TFS Dragon Ball Z Abridged, which by the way is hilarious. I also started a Nuzlocke on SoulSilver, but haven't gone back to it for whatever reason.

TFS is brilliant. Love their series.

I tried the Nuzlocke out and it seemed a bit boring to me. I'm playing one on my heart gold now, can't remember where I got the idea, but it's like the last round in the wheel of fortune where I can only pick pokemon that begin with the letters R, S, T, L, N and E and I get to pick 3 more consonants and a vowel. Don't know how well it's going to work out but it seemed different. I've also limited myself to the most basic items only (pokeballs, potions, berries, etc.). It really makes catching some of the better pokemon real hard.
I'm also playing blue where all my pokemon have to be above my level requirement (until that's not possible of course) before I go to the gyms. This one seemed really annoying to me but my buddy bet me 50 bucks I couldn't finish it that way so I just couldn't say no. =)
-
I thought I might play through on one of the versions, and use only pokemon that spell out my first name, which happens to be 6 letters long. T-R-E-V-O-R.
The only question is... which version would be the best to do this on?
-
Try generation three, with treeko being baws and all that.
-
Well seeing as how I'm an originals fan, I'd have to say blue. But that's just me.
-
He can't, because none of them start with T.
-
Well I'd break my rule until I could catch one that does :). Originals FTW. lol
-

Tauros, Tangela and Tentacruel. For starter he could use Bulbasaur, which when evolved into Venusaur, would make up for the V in his name, hence it's possible.
=> Problem mate? ;D
-
I was talking about the starters, and I GUESS the bulbasaur line does make it possible.
-
Hmm... end up with like Tentacruel, Rhydon, Electabuzz, Venusaur, Omastar, Rapidash? Not a bad team actually. Pretty balanced for types for the most part

Tauros, Raichu, Electabuzz, Venusaur, Omastar, Rapidash sounds even better to me (Tauros being a massive powerhouse and Raichu for the pikachu-hate ;D)

Yeah, but how hard was it to find and catch one of those suckers in the safari zone? Big pain lol

Pretty sure I didn't even bother catching one my first couple of plays through.

I found a VERY interesting run-through idea
