10 Hardcore Challenges Gamers Set THEMSELVES

5. Level 100 Pokémon Before The First Gym - Pokémon

Okay, some of these entries are honestly a real challenge in themselves because of how difficult it is just to fill the word count. Like...what else is there to say here?

At some point someone out there decided that it would be...fun? Fun's not the word. Okay, for lack of a better word, someone thought it would be fun to grind their first Pokemon to level one hundred before getting to the first gym and...there are no words. That's it.

To their credit, the player in the video above at least legitimises this challenge by saying their goal is to find unconventional ways to get to level one hundred. Which is actually pretty admirable in its own right. Also they also have the good grace to admit they're just insane.

This legitimately is the first one on here that is a real brain scratcher to me. Look, the Guitar Souls one was weird but it sort of makes sense due to the intense challenge of it all. The Desert Bus one makes sense because it's for a good cause. But honestly this one is just baffling because...is it just so you can absolutely trounce Brock in his stupid, pervy face?

Words defy how boring this must have been.
