• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Team Rocket Challenge

Dar

oops, did it again
Pronoun

When I was looking through Pokememes, I found a challenge that I actually thought was pretty interesting, although it does seem rather easy.

If you're interested, try it and post your progress. I'll probably do this on my Platinum, due to the "Avoid Battles with Team Rocket" rule.

EDIT: If anyone wants to add additional rules, feel free to suggest.

HELLS YES i will be doing this in platinum. my new solution to nuzlockes

another thought - team magma challenge (in sapphire) or team aqua challenge (in ruby) or team independent challenge (in emerald). similar except the usable types are fire, ground, dark in magma challenge and water, ice, dark in aqua, and for team independent flying, normal, dragon, psychic, and golduck
 
Additional rule - if you have a Meowth on your team and you run across a wild Pikachu or a trainer using a Pikachu, you must use your own Meowth to beat them.
If you don't have a Meowth and you run across a Pikachu you must still beat the shit out of it with the strongest attack you have available anyway.
 
I have made slight progress.

I think you'd probably want to add poison to both the Magma and Aqua challenges. For Team Independent, I have no idea, though; it kind of sounds like you'd just do the normal Rocket challenge.

Also this sounds so cool aaa. I want to do the Magma challenge in Emerald, but I only have Emerald and that kind of breaks the spirit of things. I'll probably start one of these soon.

Hmm, that's a thought. Other than Zubat I never noticed much poison usage in their teams, but I guess poison is in just about every team somewhere haha.

Team independent is supposed to be analogous to Rayquaza since Emerald doesn't favor one team or the other but I guess the normal Rocket challenge in emerald works too haha
