ABOUT:

The Pure White/Pitch Black Video Challenge is a special challenge for the Pokemon Pure White/
Pitch Black ROM hacks. Its purpose is to not only test your skill as a trainer, but also to
test your determination and endurance. Players who complete the challenge can expect to win
prizes for their efforts.


RULES:

*You must have a Youtube Account and the ability to create videos of your battles. You may
 use either your DS or an emulator. You can use a video recorder or screen recorder to
 record your battles. Popular screen recorders include Hypercam and Camtasia.

*You may not use any hacks or codes. Hacked Pokemon are any Pokemon that have been generated or
 modified with a program outside of the actual game including Action Replay, PokeSav, and PokeGen.
 This includes Pokemon that have been modified within the legal limits of the game (31 IVs in all
 stats with perfect natures, etc.)

*You may not use any Pokemon not obtained within Pure White or Pitch Black. This includes 
 Pokemon obtained in all other Pokemon games and other ROM hacks, as well as the Dream World.

*You may not use any Pokemon or items not yet available at your current point in the game. For
 instance, Braviary cannot be found until Route 10, so you cannot use it before you reach that
 area. 

*You may not use any legendary Pokemon with more than 600 Base Stat Total except for the last
 two challenges of each section (vs. N and Ghetsis for the Story, and vs. Team Plasma Grunts
 and Morimoto for the Post-Game). Regigigas is the only exception.

***Please show all your Pokemon's moves, stats, and other info before you begin the battle***

POINTS

It's not just about beating your opponent. It's about HOW you beat them. That's why there is a
Point System with this challenge. Simply beating your opponent will earn you 30 pts. But beating
your opponent with additional handicaps will earn you "Bonus Points".

BONUS POINTS

*Winning while entire team is underleveled: +5 points
  This means that every Pokemon in your team has a lower level than your opponent's weakest Pokemon. 
  Example - if you're fighting Brycen, your entire team must be Level 58 or lower because Brycen's
  weakest Pokemon is at Level 59. Gaining levels during the actual battle is fine.

*Winning with less than 6 Pokemon: +5
  You can have a Level 100 Pokemon and five Level 1 Pokemon and that would still count as 6 Pokemon.
  You must have 5 Pokemon or less to gain this bonus.

*Use 5 or less healing items during battle: +5 points
  Healing items are any items that restore lost HP or cure status, including Revives. Held items and
  PP-restoring items do not count.

*Not using held items during battle: +5 points
  Held items are any item that has an effect only when held during battle. Lucky Egg, Macho Brace,
  Power Items, EXP. Share, and Amulet Coin do not count. Also items that can be held but do not
  have an effect in battle (such as Potions) do not count. 

*Not using weather moves or auto-weather abilities: +5 points
  This means you cannot use the moves Rain Dance, Sunny Day, Hail, or Sandstorm, or the abilities
  Drizzle, Drought, Snow Warning, or Sandstream.

*Using unevolved Pokemon: +5 points
  Unevolved means any Pokemon that has the ability to evolve. You must use a least one to get
  this bonus. You cannot get this bonus until after the 3rd Gym.


Note that Bonus points are optional and you can choose which bonus points you want to get for
each battle. You can gain a maximum of 30 bonus points total.


PENALTIES

Breaking any of the rules in the Rules section will earn you penalties. Breaking any rules once will earn you
a warning. Breaking any rules twice will subtract -100 Points from your point total. Breaking any rules three times will disqualify you from the entire challenge.
