Description
New Avatar_Mode_XY found here.I wanted to make a new challenge mode for Pokemon and I like the show Avatar the last Airbender so I came up with this.
Most types have reasoning to why they are in the Nation they are assigned.
Air:
Flying because air and flying go hand in hand.
Psychic because monks are very spiritual.
Ghost because once again, spiritual.
Bug because it was the last type not assigned anywhere.
Water:
Water because, well water.
Ice because water benders are known to control ice too.
Grass because of the swamp benders.
Poison due to blood bending, makes sense in my mind...
Fire:
Fire because.... do I have to say it?
Dark because they get overpowered by the solar eclipse.
Electric because of lightning benders.
Dragon because they taught the original fire benders.
Earth:
Ground because it's what the earth is made of.
Rocks, seriously, same as ground.
Steel because of metal bending.
Fighting because they are skilled fighters, aggressive.
A lot of people have said "Oh well you can't be [insert nation here] and have a starter!" and my response to that is, catch a normal type on the first route since there usually IS one and box the starter never to be used again. It's that simple.
Please try it out, should be a fun new experience in Pokemon for any and all players. Show it to your friends! Draw up the Avatar Mode run that you did! If you make a comic based on this please send it to me!
EDIT: I've been seeing this a lot around the internet and I don't think I've gotten credit a single time, so if you post or see it posted somewhere then please credit me and add a link to this page. Thanks!

What are you gonna do now that there is a fairy type? I was thinking either add it to air and make it so air can't use normal (since all air nomads are born as airbenders) or replace bug with fairy and let anyone use bug, same rules applying to bug as currently apply to normal.

All good ideas, I haven't decided yet, honestly it didn;t even occur to me that there was a new type to be added into the Avatar equation, haha. I'll end up doing something after long consideration sometime before October.

I like the idea, but you have a few major flaws with the typing choices. First off, you limit the generations people can play greatly by having an uneven divide like this. Lets say I want to play Air. But I don't want to start in Gen 1 or with Fire red and leaf green. Well tough luck.
There also seems to be some Philosophic misunderstanding of the elements and their nations. Grass in pokemon tends to be very much about using sunlight and wind in order to do things. Much of their attacks rely on wind in order to work. Such as razor leaf or sweet scent. Another one is Dark. The reason the fire nation wanted to control the other nations was to share prosperity The Fire benders are strongest in the sun. Darkness actually weakens them, so dark in fire makes no sense what so ever. Another problem with it, is that dark isn't evil at all. Now, looking at the water Tribe, they do thrive at night, and are most powerful during a full moon. Their symbol is also fairly close to the dark symbol in pokemon. How this disconnect happened I don't know.
Here is a simple change that will both make it match up with the nations and give the player the options they deserve.
Air:
Flying, Grass, Ghost, Bug
Water:
Water, Ice,Dark, Poison
Fire:
Fire, Psychic, Electric, Dragon
Earth:
Ground, Rock, Steel, Fighting
What this fixes. Gen 1: I can now pick 2 different starts for Air and water and 1 for fire. Still can't pick earth. Gen 2: I can now pike 1 starter for Air, water or fire. Now I have 3 choices rather then 2. Gen 3 and onward: I can now choose any nation I desire because there is a starter for me.
With these simple fixes, it will be farm more fun to play and far less frustrating for the player.

I like that you put so much thought into this, but the whole starter thing isn't necessarily a problem, it just means in certain situations you can't use a starter. Everyone can use Normal type Pokemon and there is usually an applicable choice in early routes, in which case one must catch said Pokemon and use that as a starter of sorts.
I also put much thought into my choices for type placement and think for the most part (other than bug) the reasoning behind the types being where they are is sound.
I always tell people of they want to modify their own version of the "challenge" and play it for themselves (such as using Pokemon that are ONLY the types in their nation) then they should go for it, however you think it should be, play it that way for yourself, but don't forget to have fun!

Um, I just have to say that as much as I love Avatar and Pokemon, I HATE the idea of boxing the starter, and neglecting the "fill up the pokedex" element of the game; for some reason, I consider my pokemon a virtual family, and I HATE, LOATHE, the idea of neglecting one because on, 'it's the wrong type'
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha, that's very noble. This isn't meant to be a main game, it's meant to be played when you've gotten bored of restarting the same game over and over and want to try something different. Actually, it's not even really like that, I just made it because I love both and realised one day how perfectly they meld together, if you don't want to play it, that's your decision, but if you do decide to try it out have fun!

Sorry, it was just that you spoke like the Pokemon could just be thrown out. It reminded me of that one episode of pokemon in where four pokemon: a and are abandoned because they were "too weak" or "pathetic" or now (Azumarill) evolved, "she wasn't cute anymore."

This is awesome! About to do this on my Black 2. I do have a question though- a Pokemon with two types in different nations (take Vibrava, Ground/Dragon), do you go by its first type (so Ground)? Just wanted to clarify, but I think that's probably right.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, it really depends how hard of a challenge you want. If you want a harder challenge go by their primary type only, but if you want to do it just for a fun time you could choose to do it as long as said pokemon has the type required. It's up to you, and I'm glad you like it! Have fun!

After failing the Nuzlocke twice on Pokemon Brown, I think this will work better for me.

Haha, here's for hoping.

I loved this idea do much that, being a lover of the Fire Nation, I have started over all my pokemon games to catch all the fire, electric, dragon, and dark types. And I will continue this for all future generations to come. Thank you for creating this awesome challenge!

I am doing this for my HeartGold run! I guess since I chose Totodie, I am part of Water Nation
π: 0 β©: 1
Awesome! Tell me how it goes!
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks!
My team has a Gastly, Totodile, Bellsprout, Spinarack, Hoppip, and Wooper right now :3
π: 0 β©: 1
so you could catch a ghost type that has a secondary type like poison and that would still work for both air and water nation.

Gonna do an Earth Nation run on my Platinum Nuzlocke challenge. Gonna have to tweak a few rules for both ends, but I feel I can do it.

What do I do if I start with, say, Mudkip. When it evolves to Swampert, am I still allowed to use it?
π: 0 β©: 1
If you are a Water tribe member or an Earth tribe. Otherwise you have to box it the second you catch a Pokemon you CAN use.
π: 0 β©: 0
guess what i made a nuzlocke out of this and i'm using emerald, at first i was with the water tribe but i quit 3/4 of the way cuz i didn't like how it turned out but now i started over with the earth nation. i hope u can come over to my profile and look at the story i'm making out of it.
π: 0 β©: 1
That's awesome! Of course I'll check it out!
π: 0 β©: 0
Definately using this. Fire Nation FTW!
π: 0 β©: 1
A very creative idea
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, you would have to go catch a normal type or one that aligns with your tribe and take the starter out of your party.
π: 0 β©: 2
So could start with a Charmander if I am an Air bender, since it evolves into a part flying type?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep, as long as you evolve it as soon as it can.

I'm seriously thinking about starting my pokΓ©mon game up again and trying this!
π: 0 β©: 0
haha this looks fun and all and i like all the rules but these just look like personal rules u could add to a nuzlocke. I mean u could use these rules off by themselves but there's nothing to stop u from winning u should add another rule to make it fun but also challenging.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, you can add any rules you want to your playthrough, I know some people who added this to their nuzlocke after it got posted on Kanto Rival Green's page on facebook, which was a very validating moment for me XD

Challenge Accepted!! Water Tribe Pokemon go!! Mostly cause I've always wanted to try a water team, but this is more balanced/more likely to work out. ^_~
Thanks for this!! I'm super excited to try it. ^_^
