Letter Challenge (see inside for details)

Hello everyone! I've grown bored with my current Ruby game, so I've decided to start over and try something new. This is sort of like the scramble challenge, as you pick the Pokemon for me here as well. There is only one difference: all of the chosen Pokemon must have the same letter in the first three of their names, no matter what. If you pick "M" as my letter, then I must only use Pokemon with that letter as the first in their name. If you want to take this challenge as well, then say so.

Rules:

1. No legendaries except for the Regis.

2. You must accept the Pokemon given to you, regardless of how weak it may be. If someone chooses "M" for you, and someone else chooses for you to have Marill, then you have to use it. You might not like that, but it's a rule if you want to take the challenge.
Of course, Magikarp, Wurmple, and any useless Pokemon can't be suggested, though.

3. You can't trade for any FR/LG Pokemon, so you're stuck with R/S/E's 200. You may only trade for evolution purposes.

4. If the team chosen for you can't be started for awhile, then simply use your starter or another Pokemon beginning with the letter chosen.

5. Have fun.

Anyway, choose my letter and my Pokemon for me. Hope you enjoy the challenge if you take it.

Alright, we're starting a ban list. Because of problems with a certain member, they have forced myself and corsolakid to start ban lists in the Letter Challenge threads. So far, only that member is prohibited from this thread, but if problems arise with others, you may find yourself on this list.

Letters Banned from Being Given:
B, Q, X, Y, and Z cannot be given out any longer

Banned from Participation in any Letter Challenge Thread:
Tai700

PAY ATTENTION TO THIS: If you start up another Letter Challenge thread anywhere else, make sure you give credit to myself. Do not do otherwise.

My precious!
I think I'm in, I was planning to start a new emerald game.
and, your letter is T the treecko trainer ;)
now choose mine ;)

EDIT: can you have a "m"pokemon and it'll evolve in a not "m"pokemon and when it eveolves again, it'll be a "m"pokemon? is this allowed?

"T" it is then. So, are you also suggesting that I take Treecko as part of my team then?

Yes, liam kun, as long as your Pokemon is at "M" in its final form, you can use it. Anyway, I'll give you a decent choice for M: Manectric.

trouble440, your letter will be "C" and I'm suggesting Crawdaunt as a part of your Pokemon team.

Jaden, what liam kun is saying is for example if a Magikarp was given to you on an M game, and it evolved into Gyarados, would it still be counted as usable?

My precious!
Magikarp >.<

ok, mine is M, I hoped so ^^ I'll get a mudkip. I think I'll start in a week or something

I don't think that's what he was saying. He meant that if a Pokemon started out with "M" as its first letter, then evolved into a Pokemon without "M" as its first letter, and then evolved again, this time into another Pokemon with "M" as its first letter, then would it be usable. I can equate this to Ghastly->Gengar. "G" is how it starts out, then "H", then "G". That's how it works. As long is it starts with the letter chosen in its final form, that Pokemon is usable.

so, allowed:
Mblabla >> blabla >> blaMbla
not allowed, only if you don't evolve the 2nd form:
Mblabla >> blaMbla >> blabla

True?
 
I think you've got it down, liam. Just make sure that whatever Pokemon someone chooses for you to use doesn't evolve if its final form doesn't have whatever letter as its first letter. Also, though I probably should have posted this in the rules, don't give someone a letter that you know contains very little Pokemon that start with that, like "Z". (Zubat, Zangoose, and Zigzagoon are the only "Z" Pokemon I can think of, and you need a full team of the same starting letter.)

Anyway, I still need five more Pokemon for you to suggest for me to use. Just think of the ones with "T".

EDIT: Never mind on that one. I found out that there are only about six Pokemon starting with "T" for me to use anyway. My future team will be: Treecko, Tentacruel, Trapinch, Tropius, Tailow, and Torkoal. It's gonna be hard to do.

Yes, but you can't trade in this challenge, so all of them but my team listed and Torchic aren't going to be of any help. The challenge officially ends at the Elite 4, so even Teddiursa couldn't be on my team. I'd change the rules, but I like the way they are now, as they add difficulty to the challenge.

My precious!
you could say you must have the letter in the first two or three letters ;)
 
Thanks for the idea! Now the teams can be much more diverse. Anyway, I'm back to needing five Pokemon, as are you liam-Kun. You already have Manectric as being part of your team (and no, you can't refuse it). I'll give you another Pokemon for your team: Meditite (evolve it if you want) (if its on whatever version your using) or Magnemite (same deal). But only get Magnemite if you don't have access to Meditite.

choose a letter for me too


Okay then, you get "B", and a Pokemon you must have on your team will be "Beautifly." Sound good? Have fun, and try to give out Pokemon for other people to use as well.
