All right so after I tremendously failed at a nuzlocke for Black (gotta try again someday, but ugh) I decided I'm gonna try a scramble challenge

seems easy enough but we'll see

For those who are unfamiliar, in a scramble challenge, your team is dictated beforehand by other people and you are forced to use whatever they pick

first six posters choose my team

The rules:

1. I'm not trading so don't suggest Braviary
2. Mandibuzz, Heatmor, Durant, and Hydreigon are banned
3. I reserve the right to refuse any Pokemon if I think you're being stupid
4. something with Fly and Surf (not necessarily at the same time) is required, I'm open to trolling but not _that_ badly
5. no duplicates
6. one Pokemon per evolution line only
7. No useless Pokemon (like Tynamo)

First post picks starter, everyone else has free reign of pre-E4 Unova

I guess I'll be cool and let you guys pick unevolved or evolved. If you pick Magneton I'll use Magneton and not Magnezone, for example, or if you say Starly then I will use that and not Staravia or Staraptor.

After the team is picked then I'll be kinda chronicling my adventures here

let's see how this goes
 
RE: Black: Scramble Challenge

Trubbish (for the win).

dmaster out.
 
RE: Black: Scramble Challenge

hows a Stunfis.. I mean Axew sound?
 
RE: Black: Scramble Challenge

How about Swanna? Show that Palpitoad who's boss.
 
RE: Black: Scramble Challenge

All right let's see what you jerks gave to me

Servine is in.

Mienshao is in, it'll take me a while to get him though

Palpitoad is in

Golurk is out since Golett can't fly

Frillish is part Water, so nope

Trubbish is in.

Swoobat is in.

Axew is in

So it looks like I'll be using the following six Pokemon:

Servine, Mienshao, Palpitoad, Trubbish, Swoobat, Axew

Should be an interesting run
 
RE: Black: Scramble Challenge

All right

As expected it's been fairly easy so far. Gale the Servine and WoobatbecauseIforgottonicknameit the Woobat have been rocking faces. Because this isn't a nuzlocke I don't have to deal with the very first Pokemon I find (after playing three nuzlockes in a row, the fact that I can do this is like christmas)

It took me a while to get a Woobat who didn't have Klutz and even longer to get a male Tympole who didn't have a Special Attack-reducing nature. I must have hit the bad luck jackpot because I caught 3 Tympole and they were all Impish (a 1 in 15,625 chance of occurring - shiny Pokemon got nothing on me).

I would have settled for anything that didn't reduce Special Attack, but the next one I hit after that was Modest, so woot

I believe Trubbish is the next Pokemon on the list, so I'll update more after I get him. Right now I am at Castelia City.

the team

Gale (Servine) L22
Chariblaze (Tympole) L23
Woobat (Woobat) L24
 
RE: Black: Scramble Challenge

Ohhh~ This looks like a nice little challenge~ I did something similar with a friend and had her breed 5 Pokemon and give me their eggs, then give me a starter Pokemon I haven't used~ Turned out fun till Level Grinding Shelgon hit LOL
 
RE: Black: Scramble Challenge

D'awww.... you're naming them after mods! I might consider doing this, since I'm not quite sure I'm ready for a Nuzlocke (I've seen so many horror stories about people entering the E4 with 6 fully trained pokemon and coming out with 3), and a monotype is DEFINITELY not for me. Unfortunately, all my DS games are already occupied, so I would have to do a GBA game, and that means no trading :(
 
RE: Black: Scramble Challenge

The Trubbish should totally be named after me because I'm rubbish. :>
(No, I just like Garbodor.)
 
RE: Black: Scramble Challenge

I decided to name Woobat "Bat Babe" because it is a bat. and also a girl.

Managed to pick up a Trubbish, named it Roxanne in honor of my Emerald nuzlocke (which is not failed, just on hold). The set it came with is pretty much what I'm going to use since I can't evolve her. She learned Stockpile and I got rid of DoubleSlap for it. This should make her able to win things.

Eviolite helps, too.

I just got out of Nimbasa's Gym. I wanted to show them all Chariblaze, so I sent him out and all of a sudden everyone piled tons of money at my feet. There was even a badge and a TM in the pile too, it was weird.

da team

Roxanne (Trubbish) L26
Gale (Servine) L28
Bat Babe (Swoobat) L28
Chariblaze (Palpitoad) L30

I believe Axew is next but I pretty sure I need Surf for it.


Scramble challenges are only difficult if the people who give you your Pokemon are a bunch of jerks. Monotype challenges are not difficult at all. Solo runs are a little more difficult depending on who you use but still pretty easy. Nuzlockes are really only hard if you're not a fan of grinding.

Then name it Rouge, for the lolz. (On a related note, someone really needs to remove the censor for lulz.)

Infinity said:
You can have Servine!

Servine is the absolute worst, most disappointing Pokemon I have ever had the misfortune of using. Everything about him is annoying and sucky and now I remember why in all the games I played I have never used this disgrace of a Pokemon on any team.

I'd rather use a team of six Liepard.

I hate you, and we can never be friends. >:O
 
RE: Black: Scramble Challenge

I feel your pain bro. I used Serperior as my main Pokemon when I started playing the game and it was the most frustrating Pokemon. It doesn't learn any good moves and it can't OHKO anything. I probably hate BW just because of the trauma I have of using Serperior.
