Personal Challenges

Evergreen tail?
What kind of challenges do you impose on yourself when starting a new adventure? Such as Nuzlocke-ing, one-typing, etc? Discuss them here.
 
On my first playthrough: Try not to faint.

On reruns: Mono-type teams or one pokemon teams. So far I've only done Sandshrew and Spinarak with single pokemon though.
 
Right now, I'm starting a new mono-type file on my Emerald, to try it out. I think I'll do Grass.

I made it a point to play through my sister's Pokemon Diamond game using only water Pokemon and totally ignoring fly. Yes, I biked everywhere, pretty much from beginning to end (however, after defeating Cynthia, I decided I'd finally evolve that drifloon I had sitting in my box and use it as a means of transportation).

Also, I put my starter away after I catch my first Pokemon. I can't stand using starters. I find them boring and typical, and I guess not using them presents a little more of a challenge.

But yeah, that anti-flying thing was hilarious. It was also quite tedious at times. It's ironic that I still don't know the Sinnoh region's geography very well.
 
Not using fly sounds cool! I might give that a try!

I never use legendaries and whenever I go into a gym battle I only take in the number of Pokemon the Gym leader has, and in trainer battles I consider it a loss if the trainer knocks out more of my Pokemon then the trainer has on their team. Also I try to only use the same amount of items that the opponent uses.
 
Every time I start a new playthrough, I have to use different Pokemon with the exception of starters. It's a great way of collecting lots of Pokemon and getting to to high levels. I occasionally do mono-type runs.
 
I completed Platinum recently without teaching any Pokemon Fly, and without using a single healing item. It made sure I trained my Pokemon properly and evenly.

Every game I play, with the first play through, I only use Pokemon in the new region. It's too easy to stick with what you know. I'm now doing the opposite on my second play of SoulSilver and trying to do the whole game using just Charizard. 7 badges so far!

Also, I make sure that I beat every trainer on the game!
 
I rarely complete a run-through of a game, but this go through Emerald I'm doing a Nuzlocke run.
