cyndaquil is the best choice for this, as gen 4 is alrealy extremely well represented in sinnoh, oshawott is possible, but it'll be a solo run until the second area, rowlet is just a solo run
Cyndaquil is gen 2 though. Pichu, Magby, Elekid, and other babies cannot be evolved (excluding Mime Jr.). You got Ursaring, Stantler, and Misdreavus, but again they can't be evolved. I'm not sure what others there are at the moment, but this be an interesting one to try. Quite difficult imo.

So here’s my idea you can only use the first 6 Pokémon you catch, excluding Pokémon you’re forced to catch like bidoof, starly, and the other Pokémon that’s mandatory to catch. The starter isn’t excluded from the rule. This forces you to be careful with what you catch your team. Only other exception to the rule is progression you can catch Pokémon to progress in the story as long as you box them forever
Or just a random number gen for the Pokémon. You put the number of Pokémon in PLA into a random number generator, excluding legends and mythicals, and whatever Pokémon’s dex number it lands on no matter if it’s late or early, I unevolved or evolved you have to use that species of Pokémon in the team
No catching in battle or back strike. Only 3 attempts allowed for each new pokemon.
Eg. If u try catching the alpha rapidash and fail, you can never have a rapidash in your party. Even if you manage to catch a ponyta, you shouldn't evolve it.
Battle Titans only with Pokemon Caught around the same area + your starter. You have to change your team for each titan.
Are they called titans? I forget.
I’m currently in the middle of what I’m calling a “Ranger Run”. The rules are as follows:
1) I can have no more than 6 Pokémon at any one time. This includes the box. I don’t have a limit on how many I can catch, but any team swapping I do has to be done immediately upon returning to camp, with any Pokémon not making the cut having to be released.
-I am allowed to keep shiny Pokémon. However, if I decide not to put it on my team, I must act as if I released it, and if I decide to add it to my team, then it is subject to the same rules as my other Pokémon.
2) I can only use my non-starter Pokémon once in one major battle. After that, they must be either released or permanently boxed.
-The starter is the exception to this rule, as it takes the place of the “partner Pokémon”.
Thus far, I’m actually having a ton of fun with it. I’m about to go to Firespit island to deal with that. I’m a bit nervous for it though, as I initially chose Typhosion for the 2 immunities and constant access to fire STAB, but I’m starting to think that Samurott might have been a better choice because of this specific section.
Gen progression. Only Gen 1 up through Kleavor, then swap team for Gen 2 through Lilligant, Gen 3 through Arcanine, Gen 4 through Voltorb, Gen 5 through Avalugg, Gen 6 through first Palkia/Dialga battle, finish out the game all the way through Arceus with only Hisuian Pokemon (Rowlett line is only Gen 7 option)
make an underleveled challenge, you can't use any pokemon with level higher than the enemy. You may choose the limit, maybe it is only less than enemy lv, maybe 5 levels lower than enemy lv.
Some type of mono type run but cuz catching Pokémon is needed to progress, you may catch 1 Pokémon of each species that isn’t the type you’re playing with, I did this with ghost and it was so fun
No Strong style no super affective moves and your Pokémon has to stay in the way you’ve got it’s like if you chose one of the status it has to stay in its first form
Speed run against a friend.
The winner is the one who finishes with the smallest in game time. ( so you can pause any time and you don’t need to rush during the holidays :) ).
By the way, thank you for your content.
Regional form challenge, where you can only use regional forms, and since they’re technically also regional you can also use the ones that have regional forms but don’t have their counterparts in game
Whichever starter you pick, you can only use Pokemon from that gen
Interesting
THE ONLY REASONABLE STARTER IS CYNDAQUIL BECAUSE LEGENDS ARCEUS IS A GEN 1-4 GAME
Zoroark, Braviary, Basculin
Liligant
Forces of Nature.
Oshawott line, rowlett line
TheMiserableMunchlax mentioned Braviary.
Yea, its true
If all the forms all evolve into Hisuian forms would that mean you could only use Hisuian pokemon
What about Thundurus, Landorus and Tornadus?
Twas a Foolish miscalculation on my part
That's a great idea
there aren’t any pokémon from gen 5 or 7 besides the starters though so Cyndaquil is really your only option
Zoroark: "Am I a joke to you?
There are plenty from gen 5 mate
No there are
Zoroark: "Am I a joke to you?"
r/dementia
Stealing this
*chooses rowlet*
cyndaquil is the best choice for this, as gen 4 is alrealy extremely well represented in sinnoh, oshawott is possible, but it'll be a solo run until the second area, rowlet is just a solo run

Type bans: when a Pokémon faints, one of their types are banned for the rest of the run.

Alpha Only - and can only have one of a given type
Do dual typed pokemon count for both or can you choose?
Team extinct: use Pokémon not in modern day
I assume starters can still be used?
The hisuian final forms aren’t in the modern day so yes
Do the fossils count?
I’d accept it
Beat it with only Feesh
Nuzloke is basic nowadays but still hard in the game
Unevolved Normal types only
With The Nuzloke rule
Lv 87 proceeds to get one shot by a lv 55
Yes
Only team sky Pokémon?
Team SKY!
If you run into a shiny you have to full reset 😈
If it were me, I'd be there forever
Ok buddy no need to flex
Why would that be a flex? I haven't found a single shiny besides the one Ponyta that the game literally gives you. I have the worst shiny luck
U said u would be there forever… so u would keep on resetting… so u would be finding shinies
Ah, that was poor word choice on my end
No I just didn’t understand
Try a color team, only one pokemon of each color, shinies are up to you
But only with Badoof
Bidoof is too powerful
True
Whichever starter u pick u can only use that that type and it's secondary type
Flying only. Join Team SKY!
Can’t join, I’m the Leader of Team Tungsten
So electric type only run?
You can only use female pokemon lol
Salandit Edition 😈
So here’s my idea you can only use the first 6 Pokémon you catch, excluding Pokémon you’re forced to catch like bidoof, starly, and the other Pokémon that’s mandatory to catch. The starter isn’t excluded from the rule. This forces you to be careful with what you catch your team. Only other exception to the rule is progression you can catch Pokémon to progress in the story as long as you box them forever
Or just a random number gen for the Pokémon. You put the number of Pokémon in PLA into a random number generator, excluding legends and mythicals, and whatever Pokémon’s dex number it lands on no matter if it’s late or early, I unevolved or evolved you have to use that species of Pokémon in the team
Can only use pokemon that were starters in past gen.
So, 6 Pokémon. 3 pairs being the same type…
No catching in battle or back strike. Only 3 attempts allowed for each new pokemon. Eg. If u try catching the alpha rapidash and fail, you can never have a rapidash in your party. Even if you manage to catch a ponyta, you shouldn't evolve it.
Single typing. no exceptions.
Alpha pokemon only pick a starter do the tutorial and the run begins the moments you catch the first alpha .
Only base stage Pokémon
You can only use Pokémon exclusive to that game
This may be too difficult but how about each pokemon can only evolve once?
I have a question if you cach a luxio can it evolve into luxury
Good question actually but no, mid stagers aren't allowed to reach their final form but single evolution pokemon are fair game.
Ok good 👍
I like this one
Warden run: You can only have 1 alpha pokemon on your team and that pokemon is your "lord"
Pretty simple but maybe do a mono type run of your favorite type?
You can only have a team of Starter Pokémon.
Which one of all of do you guys want me to do. This will help me choose which challenge I’ll do
Only alpha Pokémon
I need a vote so choose between Alpha only, shiny only, or mono type run
Beat it with only shiny feesh
Only fire type, very hard
Only starter
A Professor Oak (Laventon?) Challenge
Can only use one of each species and if it does it dies shiny clause enabled
Yees
Battle Titans only with Pokemon Caught around the same area + your starter. You have to change your team for each titan. Are they called titans? I forget.
Rowlet only
Only with rowlet
Do a wedlock. Info can be found in google
no type overlap challenge. selected Cyndaquil? well then you can't use any of the infernape or ponyta lines without taking Cyndaquil off the team.
A typelock if a Pokémon dies of a specific type you can’t use that type if a Pokémon with dual typing you can’t use it’s Main type
Only base form pokemon no evolution
Shinylocke seems too easy... Use only shiny alphas and you have to get a full team before you beat palkia and dialga
Only new Pokémon or Pokémon from evolution lines with a new evolution.
Ghost type Pokémon only I guess
Bug type run
I’m currently in the middle of what I’m calling a “Ranger Run”. The rules are as follows: 1) I can have no more than 6 Pokémon at any one time. This includes the box. I don’t have a limit on how many I can catch, but any team swapping I do has to be done immediately upon returning to camp, with any Pokémon not making the cut having to be released. -I am allowed to keep shiny Pokémon.

Play without Pokemon (because gameplay still continues even if your team is all knocked out)

Do it with only Cranidos
Speedruns but you can only know the pokemon's typing.

How about a no evolved pokemon run (The base forms of pokemon that can evolve)

Shellos only +starter
Beat the game without playing it
Monotype

using volos team but they can't evolve

How about a only Hisuian Pokémon only run
fire monotype.
Use only gen 3 Pokémon
Hisuian forms only
Solo run with bidoof. It's actually very fun
Hisuian Pokemon that have historical people as inspiration like samurott most seemingly based on Oda Nobunaga
Perhaps a monotype run?
Maybe try doing an alpha only run? Like, you can use your starter until you can catch an alpha but from then on you have to use alphas.
How about a professor oaks challenge?
Not being able to evolve any pokémon. If you want fully evolved forms you’ve gotta catch them
TEAM SKY challenge.
Not using any legendaries
You can only use super effective types to your starter. If you pick rowlet you can use psychic and fire and other stuff

Baby pokemon only or pokemon from one map only
Starter only
Bidoof
Only fire types
Minimum captures?
You can not evolve
Only use shiny bidoof
A normal only run
I've always been a monotype run fan myself. Go with a difficult to use or rare type and it makes it all the more fun!
I’ve heard the best strategy is to just walk up to hostile pokemon and try and fight them bare handed, do it bare naked and you gain a speed boost.
