🔥 Why Challenge Mode? (Because You Hate Yourself, Obviously!)
Listen up, you masochistic maestros! After beating Classic Mode (weird flex, but okay), you've unlocked the mode that separates the Gyarados from the Magikarps. Let's break down this beautiful nightmare!
Available Torture Methods:
- Mono Gen (Because gen-mixing is for casuals!)
- Mono Type (Type coverage? Never heard of her!)
- Fresh Start (For people who think Dark Souls is too easy)
🎮 Mono Gen Challenge: The "OK Boomer" Experience
Choose Your Generation:
Gen 1: The "Back in My Day" experience Gen 2: The "Actually Balanced" challenge Gen 3: The "Hoenn Confirmed" meme Gen 4: The "Slow but Steady" grind Gen 5: The "Best Story" campaign Gen 6: The "Fairy Supremacy" era Gen 7: The "Z-Move Dance" party Gen 8: The "Dynamax Drama" show Gen 9: The "Terastal Trouble" quest
🔥 PRO TIP: Gen 1 has the most broken mechanics. Gen 3 has the best water routes. Gen 5 has the best early game. Choose wisely!

The "Why Did I Choose This" Tier List:

- A-Tier: Water (jack of all trades), Ground (earthquake go brrr)

⚠️ WARNING: Choosing Ice-type is considered self-harm in 151 countries!

🤔 FAQ (Frequently Agonized Questions)
Q: Why do I keep losing? A: Because Challenge Mode! (But also check our strategies above)

🎮 Quick Tips for the Masochistic
- ALWAYS have a backup plan
- NEVER trust type advantages alone
- ALWAYS save your Master Balls
- REMEMBER therapy is cheaper than a new controller
Remember, brave challenger: Even the greatest Challenge Mode players started by wiping to the first gym leader 47 times. We've all been there! Now get out there and make some poor life decisions!
P.S. If anyone asks why you're doing this to yourself, just say "for the achievement." They'll understand. 😉
