I'm thinking about trying this. The object is to go through the game while not using any Pokeballs at all or without purchasing any. It would be quite a challenge, especially when you're stuck with only one Pokemon til Celadon City.
Rules-
1. You may only gain Pokemon through NPCs. No balls of any kind or money or coins shall be exchanged for Pokemon. Trades are forbidden, either in-game or person-to-person. Also, breeding is forbidden. You may, however, reset the game for a certain nature, if you want.
2. The only time the above rule may be ignored is with an HM slave. The HM slave may not participate in battle, however, and, if possible, should be left in the PC during Gym battles. (Notable exception- Ericka's Gym. You need Cut to get in.) For an extra challenge, do not have an HM slave.
3. All TMs are fair game. You can teach your Pokemon whatever you want.
4. By the end of the game your team should consist of;
A) Venusaur/Blastoise/Charizard
B) Eevee/Flareon/Vaporeon/Jolteon
C) Omastar/Kabutops
D) Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan
E) Aerodactyl
F) Lapras
That should be all the "free" Pokemon. Am I missing any? Any comments?
My thoughts; Charmander would, far and away, be the hardest Pokemon to do this with. Brock and Misty would destroy it. Venusaur would probably be the easiest. Your Eeveelution all depends on your starter choice. Lapras is a sure thing, so choosing Vaporeon or Squirtle seems like a bad idea. Hitmonchan can use the three elemental punches, so that could make things easier. Aerodactyl can learn fly, so the HM Fly can be used if you don't want to use a slave late-game. Any input is welcome.
