Pokemon Challenge

So I gonna play Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow and Green again. Is there any self-made challenge to do while playing every version of Pokemon? Task, objectives, rules, ect.

Nuzlocke, monotype, monocolor are the more common ones. Though it might be a little limited given the smaller roster in gen 1.

Nuzlocke is the de facto thing.

You could implement other restrictions too.

I personally like not grinding at all, only trainer battles and only using 6 pokemon and releasing pokemon if you wanna replace one. Kind of a modified Nuzlocke

battle style set Nuzlocke

This. Watch out for crithax though.

Nuzlocke's suck don't bother with them. Just pick up some shit mons and don't grind at all.

What are some good restrictions that don't go too ham on making your life hell?

>all of them, not one of them

The sheer fucking boredom you're going to face is punishment enough.

Yeah, here's a self-made challenge:
Try to have FUN!

What I liked to do was not use the pokemon center to heal but instead use potions. Once the pokemon was fully healed then use the pokecenter to restore move points. Makes managing for pokeballs, tms, and healing a bit more difficult.

there's no challenge in yellow

other than that, maybe just have a 3-pokemon rule for gym encounters.

The hardest challenge ever

Try something different each time I guess.
>Vanilla run, use anything you want but don't grind much at all. This will typically put you 20 levels below Blue. This was likely the original intention and why Blue's team is weak as fuck if you're closer to his level
>Monotype run
>Nidoking run
>Un-evolved run
Just want to point out Nuzlocke doesn't sound like a fun option if you really want to play through all of them entirely, as you run the risk of a game over and starting over from the beginning.

Any challenge or restriction you impose on yourself will ultimately be overcome incredibly easily as soon as you catch a Snorlax because Snorlax is so fucking powerful in Gen 1 it's not even funny. So don't catch one.

Depending on the game it could be hell to get through early game

if you don't grind prepare to have elite 4 be like 20 levels above you, even if you do grind it's not much better because the next best place to grind is the pokemon mansion whose exp yield is slow as fuck if you're around 50. If you don't do permadeath you can grind the elite 4 but it's a bit cheesy.

And make sure to save the good TMs so you can dupe them later. Avoid picking up the crap ones if you can help it because the combined space of bag + PC is not enough to hold everything you get

I'm not hardcore enough for nuzlockes, my rules aren't too difficult.

>can only catch things with regular pokeballs
>battle set
>no items during battle
>no grinding
>optional if it's a game i've already played: no starter

>Can only catch things with regular Pokéballs.
I've been doing this since I was ten.

Your life makes me sad.

No starter, no legendary, no gift Pokemon.

it's way more rewarding catching things in regular pokeballs since it means you either need a lot of luck, or you have to use status and carefully deal as much damage as possible.

magikarp only

All of them?

>Play Yellow
>Catch Mankey
>From that point use ONLY a Fighting team

HARD MODE
>Transfer that Yellow's low level Mankey to Red/Green/Blue
>Same thing

I had a lot of fun playing that way.

Play through Stadium with your ingame mons.
