We appeared to be lacking a thread for these. :) ( My first time making a thread in this forum even though I've posted a fair bit before, well a fair bit for me anyways.)
basically, sign up for one if ingame turns out to be too boring for you. You can do them in any main series pokemon game. You can use any HM slaves you like in any of them as long as they don't battle (Unless they fit in with the rules, eg. If Bidoof was your slave and you were doing a normal monotype it could battle.)

Challenges:
Monotype:
Only use Pokémon of a certain type.
Rules:
1) No more than one of the same Pokémon (unless you’re doing something like ghost or dragon in fr/lg/r/b/y or fire in D/P)
2) No more than one Poke from each evolutionary line (Except for branch evos)
3) If your starter is not of your chosen type you may use it until you catch a Pokémon of your chosen type.
4) Only two Pokémon may be traded from other games (Excluding trade evos or pokes you can usually catch around that point or earlier in the version you’re playing) and they must be freshly hatched at level 1-5.
5) When you sign up you have to tell me what game and what type you’re using.
6) Your challenge ends when you beat the E4, tell me and tell me your team and play time.

Challengers:

Tina, Emerald, Psychic, 84:55:50 Gardevoir/Starmie/Xatu/Medicham (1 trade)

Rules:
1) When you sign up you have to tell me what game you’re using.

What about Basic Run?

You can only use basic pokemon, which means you can't evovle any pokemon, you can't use legendaries, and you can't use super-strong basics etc. If the pokemon in the games can not evolve or be pre-evovled, you cannot use that either.

I might try an unevovled and combined with speed run- I'll tell you later.
 
I've done a Monotype and Speedthrough run in the past before.. does that count? lol

Monotype: Tina, Emerald, Psychic, 84:55:50 (yeah, I really lagged behind with beating the E4 on this), and my team was Gardevoir/Starmie/Xatu/Medicham. Medicham was traded over from Ruby as a level 5 Meditite.

Speedthrough: Tina, Diamond, somewhere around 10 hours, and my team alternated between Gyarados/Infernape and Absol/Glaceon
 
You know what's a great (not really) challenge that I had in mind?
Beating the game in SET mode.

If you don't know what SET mode is - you're not allowed to switch when you defeat a pokemon in battle, Just like the Battle Frontier.
 
Okay, I'm doing the scavenger challenge in FireRed.

Rules:
1) When you sign up you have to tell me what game you’re using.
2) Your challenge ends when you beat the E4, tell me, tell me what’s in your bag, your team and your play time.
3) Absolutely NO TRADING!

So far I have:

Aries, Mild Male Charmander lv.13

And I'm going to fight Brock.

Are we allowed to post updates of our games?
 
Yes, post updates as you go along. If the people who thought of challenge ideas could pm with the challenge, description and rules set out like i have the others set up that'd be great and save me the typing.
