[Karousever]

Ok, so my friend and I...we decided to try and spice up Pokemon. Like, once we beat the game. I know people like to make the game more fun with Nuzlocke runs and such, but that requires restarting, and we came up with an idea to make the game fun after you beat it without restarting...well, maybe not like a blast. But it's a goal. Or, a set of goals. Now, we have a requirement for each achievement, and the reward is always a shiny pokemon (which we use an Action Replay to get, but ONLY if we earn it) Tell me what you think. And especially if you think this is abusing the powers of an Action Replay and we shouldn't be getting shinies like this. (For the record I've only gotten four shinies from this). Also, for those who are curious, I'll post the achievements below.

There might be a few typos in that, not sure. Also, the list is a work-in-progress...sort of. It's not done, but we haven't worked on it in a while. If you have any ideas for other achievements I(we)'d love to see them!

 

[Karousever]

Oh and as for the "Deja Vu" achievements, those are more personally designed. You see, I had a powerful team consisting of Raichu and Lugia, and my friend had a powerful team of Gengar and Slowking. So...hopefully that helps those make sense.

>21

i c wut u did thar

This looks pretty cool, wish there was something like this in-game.

 

[Aethelstan]

Not a bad idea actually, especially since a lot of those encourage people to try different types of Pokemon. You could wind up with some pretty decent teams after going for the achievements for a while.

I think some of those prizes you offered wouldn't fly though. Note that this only matters if it were to be added in game officially, since I doubt two people doing it on their own makes much of a difference in the grand scheme of things. But shiny Mewtwo? Shiny Arceus? Heck shiny anything might be kind of overboard. The whole point of those is that they're cool because not many people have them. While the some of the achievements are still hard to get, they remove an element of surprise, rarity, and happiness that comes from finding shinies naturally. Bragging rights would go down the drain (let's face it, that's pretty much the only reason people want shinies). Also, offering any of the special event legendaries probably wouldn't make it in game, because there would be less of a reason to attend the special events where said Pokemon are given out in the first place. Not saying gamers wouldn't like it, but Game Freak and co. probably wouldn't.

Again, those things only matter if it were to be considered officially for in-game. As for personal rewarding, as long as you still find a sense of fun/fulfillment, I see nothing wrong with it, aside from the typical arguments made against using an AR or GS.

Kudos to your clever naming skills, by the by.

 

[Superbird]

This is not hard to complete. I have, like, half of them without even starting.

But anyway. I might end up using this for dex completion.

 

[DarkAura]

Same here. I think I'll do 43-45, rain forest, and diamond digger, since, to complete my unova pokedex i need archen and tepig. (And the rain forest is just because i LOVE celebi)

This seems like a great idea. =D

 

[Karousever]

I completely understand that this would be horrible if it were something real, official. We're just doing it for fun. And yeah, it does take away the specialness of shinies, I agree, but my out of the both of us my friend's the one who's legitly found three shinies. He only caught two of them (One was a Sandile, and another was a Shinx. The third was a Phanpy, which he did catch, but it was a long time ago and he mistakenly restarted the game). But we keep track of real shinies and achievement shinies anyway, they're more like little trophies for our achievements.

@Superbird, well congratulations, take pride in your training skills. I would probably have earned a few more achievements (not many, just a few) by now, but lately I've just been training random teams, not picking up certain types or anything

@Aethelstan Well ok most of what I said up above was sort of a response to what you said, but specifically I'm mentioning the clever names I didn't create. My friend, Sokka217 came up with them all. Well except Regi Reunion, that whole achievement was completely me, including the name.

 

[Noctowl]

It would be quite interesting to have achievements like these in the Pokemon games, maybe with lesser rewards of course. It might give me something to do when the games are done with as I am not very good at games in general and so stuff like this would keep me occupied.

That said, I probably have done some of these at some point, I do like transfering all my Pokemon up after nuzlockes so I have a large gang. Or I did before resetting white...duh...

 

[Karousever]

Well, the point was mainly to raise them up after you started trying for the achievements. We didn't count guys we already raised before we made the achievements list.
