Pokemon Silver Skies rules & masterpost

[marchionessofmustache]

So I'm going to call my Pokemon Silver mono-flying challenge "Pokemon Silver Skies" because flying in the sky geddit???????!



Here's the basic rules:

1. Only Flying-type Pokemon may participate in battles.


2. Only one Pokemon of a single species may be in the party at once.


3. Pokemon that are not Flying-type may be used if their final evolution is Flying-type.


4. Experience may only be gained from trainer battles.


5. Game must be restarted from last save upon white out.


6. Trainer battle rematches are not allowed.


7. No trading with another game cartridge/ROM.


8. Pokemon left at the Daycare may no longer participate in battle.


9. The challenge and rules officially start once the 'starter' Pokemon reaches level 5. No trainers may be fought before then.

The experience gained from trainer battles thing is a better challenge and more manageable than "don't level up n levels past the next gym's Pokemon," especially because of the balance issues with this game and the fact that gyms can be done in various order.

If I get frustratingly stuck to where I'm no longer having fun and don't see a way to advance, I will abolish rule #4.

And with that, I'll set off! I'll be blogging this and trying to pay attention to the lore, so enjoy the diary :) This will become the masterpost once I get one or two entries in.
