Rule 1: Any Pokémon that faints is considered dead, and must be released (or permanently locked away in a graveyard box on your pc)

Rule 2: The player may only catch the first Pokémon encountered in each area, and none else (If you go in a cave/building along a route where you can catch Pokemon, that counts as a new area. However, going to a different floor in said cave/building does not count as a new area). If the first Pokémon encountered faints or flees, there are no second chances.

Exception #1: Legendary Pokemon. You can still catch these if you already have a Pokemon from that area, though you are only allowed 1 in your party at any time.

Exception #2: If you absolutely need a Pokemon for a specific HM, you may go back to a certain area and catch one for that purpose. However, if you have caught a Pokemon this way, he must only be in your party to use said skill. If all of the other Pokemon you have die in a fight while you still have this "HM Pokemon", you may use it as a final resort.

Exception #3: If you have to go through a Route at the start of the game without Pokeballs because you were not given them yet, you CAN go back when you have them. Normal catching rules then apply.

Rule 3: Black/Whiting out after you loose a battle means you are OUT of the challenge, even if you still have Pokemon in the PC. (Of course you can feel free to carry on, but from that point you are out of the challenge.

Rule 4: You have to give ALL of your captured Pokemon realy cool (or boring, whatever xD) nicknames, to boost the attachment you feel towards said Pokemon. This way, when they die, you will feel more sad :'( xDDD

Just wondering if anyone here would want to take part in something like this :) We can keep posting updates/photographs of our party and progress through the game.

It seems that general consensus agrees we will play either Blue/Red/Leaf Green/Fire Red for the challenge.

Funny i just downloaded Fire red emulator today. Sounds like a challenge especially when selecting HM moves for a pokemon. I'm thinking of grinding my starter and buying tons of potions against gym leaders and anyone with type advantage pokemon. Any rules against revives?

Indeed there are, see rule #1. No revives, even in combat (evil, I know) :D

It looks like Blue/Red/Leaf Green/Fire Red will be the game we do then! Hold off until Wednesday evening before we start, give more people an oppertunity to join if they want. :)

Ok, i'm still a bit confused by rule 2. If i accidentally knock out the first pokemon I see in an area can I not catch any more at all there afterwards? I need to have at least one pokemon that can surf and use strength etc. Just need some clarification.

I'll be up for doing this but at the moment I'm starting my exams week so I may not be able to start this week.

I was in the same situation as you. The battery died on my gold pokemon game so i couldn't save any games. You can swap it out by opening the case. Anyway, I just downloaded an emulator for it. Much easier to do.

I'm emulating LG myself, I realised how much faster I would be able to get through it (thanks to fast forwarding the game) than I would on hardware haha. I'm going to be starting Monday :D

Okay heres what happened on my first day :) (delayed because of playing Diablo... my bad :P)

I played some NES

Gave my rival the greatest name ever

My first Pokemon was a Pidgey :D (God I hope it lives to become a Pidgeot)
Posted Image

By the time I got to Viridian Forest, I was seriously hoping for a Pikachu.... instead I found this (I already had a Caterpie)
Posted Image

Of course..... one Pokemon later ¬_¬
Posted Image

I managed to beat Brock and got to Mt.Moon with tis Party :D

I'll put more when I've made more progress (if anyone is actually interested ha)
