The Scramble Challenge, to Mix Things up a Bit!

Credit to Mattman324 of Smogon for coming up with this clever game.

Before you ask, no, this is nothing like a Nuzlocke challenge, and probably isn't nearly as hard. But since this hasn't been posted yet...

Welcome to the Scramble Challenge!

What is a Scramble challenge? A scramble challenge is a game that you have no control of! That's right: You have to let others give you your Pokemon! Whether they want to be good and give you easy challenges (like just giving you a Pokemon), or giving you tasks that might even seem...unfair is entirely up to the posters.

The unbreakable, must-be-followed rules:

Rule 1: No duplicates
Rule 2: No rules to prevent "worthless" Pokemon from evolving. Worthless Pokemon include:
Magikarp, Caterpie, Metapod, Weedle, Kakuna, Unown, Wurmple, Silcoon, Cascoon, Feebas, Kricketot, Burmy, and Combee.
Rule 3: No legendaries.
Rule 4: When you post saying that you'd like a challenge, please specify what game you're playing on (FireRed, Pearl, SoulSilver, etc). Black and White are allowed too.
Rule 5: The first six posters to reply to someone's wanting a challenge may only give one Pokemon.
Rule 6: Please specify what are NOT allowed to be given in tasks (I.E. I always ask for no Hidden Power rules/no trading). If you complain about getting something you didn't want but you did not say so, you'll have to tough it out.
Rule 7: Have fun! This may be a challenge, but it is not meant to be mind bogglingly hard, and it is not meant to be frustrating. This is not playing Kaiso Mario, or doing a Nuzlocke challenge. It may be hard, but perhaps, just MAYBE you will find something cool out. For example, FEAROW ended up being my MVP in a challenge I did of FireRed because of Toxic and it's speed!

How to post here: If you want to start a challenge or give a Pokemon, post it like this:

If you're requesting a challenge: I want a challenge for Diamond, no trading.

If you'd like to post a Pokemon: Spice, take a Kricketune. Name it "Tutuw00t", and it must know Fury Cutter.

Have fun and good luck!

EDIT: Also, I encourage you to give challenging and creative tasks! Not too challenging of course, but don't make it too simple. The example I gave isn't that great, haha.

Double-posting because I'd like to keep my current scrambles out of the rules post. Baratron said I'm allowed to.
