FragsBunny Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 What's up everyone? I have invented a new challenge, and I dare you to try the same challenge that I have. The point is simple - I randomize the rules of teambuilding on the start of the game, and then randomize them again after I earn a badge from a Gym Leader. Just started a new walkthrough for that, and it's quite fun for me, I should say! I earned 5 badges so far. I'm using AllGen Reborn mod to feature Pokemon from all 9 generations, You should do it too, send a message to me and I'll randomize you a good challenge. Here are the rules that were rolled for me on my walkthough: 1. (up to Julia) - Only Pokemon with double types 2. (up to Florinia) - Only Pokemon from Galar Pokedex (not nessesary Gen 8) 3. (up to Shelly) - Only Pokemon from Unova Pokedex (B2W2) 4. (up to Shade) - Only Pokemon already registered in Pokedex (means I can't use new evolutions from there) 5. (up to Aya) - Only Pokemon from Galar Pokedex (again) 6. (up to Serra) - Female Pokemon only 7. (up to Noel) - Only Pokemon from Johto Pokedex 8. (up to Radomus) - Special attackers only 9. (up to Luna) - Two-type specialization (much like Reborn's Elite Four). I chose Grass/Poison. 10. (up to Samson) - Registered Pokedex entires only (prior to receiving this challenge) 11. (up to Charlotte) - Pure type (only Pokemon of single types) 12. (up to Terra) - Only Pokemon from Blueberry Pokedex 13. (up to Ciel) - Defensive Pokemon only (highest DEF/SPD higher than ATK/SPA) 14. (up to Adrienn) - Uncaught Pokemon only (up to this point). Entire team is assembing from scratch! 15. (up to Titania ) - Genderless Pokemon only 16. (up to Amaria) - Fully evolved Pokemon only (this excludes Pokemon without evolutions) 17. (up to Hardy) - Registered Pokedex entires only 18. (Up to Saphira, including Terra) - Stat-dominating team. For this one I am chosing Pokemon whose highest stat is SPATK. Pumning them up with Carbos if neccessary. 19. Victory Road and Charous Hall - Event Pokemon only (not random wild encounters) So, would you like to accept my challenge? Your randomizer will be different from mine. Do you want me to randomize the teambuilder for the whole walkthrough or only after beating the next Leader? Do you want to see the actual contents of the randomizer? It has 45 entries, with some also having sub-entires. Send me a message if you're interested, or if you want to see what kind of teams I used to beat each Gym Leader.

FragsBunny Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 To make this thread more interesting, I should start writing my teambuilding in details in order to make things more clear for you. Let's start with the first set of rules that I rolled into, "Pokemon with double types only". To keep myself abiding to that rule, I had to choose between just the two of starters - Bulbasaur and Rowlet, and in anticipation of the first gym, I chose Number One. Building a team of six prior to the Gym battle was quite tricky, but I somehow managed to finish it. Note that I was still allowed to capture Pokemon with single types, but could not use them in direct battles. For example, I have captured a Grubbin in the event (which was a Mono-Bug), but I didn't use it in combat unity I fed it EXP Candies up to LVL 20, which is the level of a Charjabug (Bug/Electric) Given that leaders in AllGen mod use different (and harder teams), I had to level up to key sweepers to LVL 20 as well to make sure they pull through. Key props to: Ivysaur - The Leech-Seed stall strategy is still as good as ever, and with access to TM Charm, it makes it even more valuable/ Delibird - Oh, how we could forget this Chrismas gift, brought specifically to deal with Julia's Oricorio? Especially when that thing can now use Quiver Dance in this version. Charjabug - Suprise! Julia's Electrode is how a Hisui variety. Leech Seed does not work, but this little guy somehow managed to one-shot it with Bug Bite. Final team with to defeat Julia under the teambuilding rules:Frogger (male) - Leech Seed, Vine Whip, Charm, Tackle Clawthorne (female) - Peck, Echoed Voice, Zen Headbutt, Hypnosis The Tick (male) - Charge, Spark, Bite, Bug Bute Grinch (male) - Present, Ice Shard, Drill Peck, Spikes Aero (male) - Wing Attack, Bite, Supersonic, Screech Madame Web (female) - Didn't bother to remember the move pool, as she was there just to fill the slot. Next up is Florinia. The second set of rules will require to use Pokemon from Galar Pokedex (not nessesary just Gen 8). Unfortunately, Ivysaur is not even in Isle of Armor Dex (and I use the list from main Galar Dex), so he will be rotated out. What kind of Pokemon would make the cut towards next Gym battle?

FragsBunny Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 That was an exhausting vacation week! But I made it this far... Only one gym left! The only place where I had to switch to "less" defensive Pokemon was the Fiore Gauntlet, cause otherwise they would always kaim at Florinia's Pokemon first.

FragsBunny Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 Bah! Made it past Saphira. But please don't ask me how many Revival Herbs I used. I should have included someone with Trick Room instead... The final leg is simple - Only Pokemon caught or obtained in events. And of course, some of the most powerful Pokemon indeed were already obtained in events! Wish me luck - I will take a break until the next weekend! Do you have any question regarding my teambuilding during each part of the challenge?

FragsBunny Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 ...I guess this speaks for itself, right? Anna says "thank you". Tough ride, but... this part is finally done. So... perhaps a similar challenge for Rejuvenation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
