So my friend gave me the idea of beating the game with only 3 pokemon, and my response was that I already had... but then he questioned if I had beaten the game with ONLY 3 Pokemon, with no hm slaves, no side pokemon, or anything, which I haven't, so I am challenging all who notice this... beat the game (pearl.diamond/platinum) with only three pokemon, with this twist:
Only 3 pokemon hay be used for battles
-no using other pokemon as shields as you potion up your 3
Your 3 pokemon must have all the hm's between the 3 of them asap (as you get them)
The pokemon you use can only use tool moves... (unless you are in the process of obtaining them)
here's the list:
Required: cut, fly, surf, strength, rock climb, rock smash, defog, waterfall, flash (all 9 of these)
"Electives": False swipe, Thief, Dig, Teleport, Payday, Sleep powder/Spore/hypnosis/Sing/Yawn/etc (pick 3 of these)
*the weather moves don't count*
you may use pokemon eggs sent over from other games, but the game used must be the original trainer
so with that, here is my planned team:
: Surf, rock smash, cut, strength (pick up as a bonus)
: Fly, Defog, false swipe, thief
: waterfall, flash, dig, rock climb
the golduck can be caught in game (ill use platinum) and the other two i will breed 2 eggs for and send them from my pearl
Good luck!
