The Earthbound Challange

[NeoCracker]

Greed is good Challange

- NO money may be used, except for hotels, hospitals, and instances where it is required to advance. (Bubble gum for bubble monkey, and possibly the monkey cave, though I think I can pull it off without needing to buy any items.)

- Normally this challenge would only be that difficult for the first while, since I could get equipment drops later. So for purpose of increasing the challenge, I am forbidding myself from using any equipment that monster is drop. Meaning I can only use Equipment found in presents or obtained from npcs, such as Mr. Baseball Cap.

- Next, I am also banning use of non-food and drink Items. This includes stat increasing capsules. The exception here is Jeff, though I will be using ONLY items of his that Cannot be sold. Meaning no Bottle Rockets. I do this because many enemies, including the Mook you fight in Fourside Mall, will fall in no time to the Bottle Rockets. This will severely limit Jeff's Usefulness, and limiting him to a support role, with minor offensive abilities for a major portion of the game. Here is a list of Jeff's Items that are usable under these restraints:

Counter-PSI Unit
Defense Shower
Heavy Bazooka
Hungry HP Sucker (I'll confirm once I find out if I can sell it or not)
Nuetralizer (See Above)
Shield Killer
Slime Generator

True, this isn't going to be the grand daddy of all game challanges, but it isn't intended to be.

I feel Jeff and Paula are going to be hurt most in this challange, but meh. I'll leave this challange open a bit before starting, to see if anyone has some niffty suggestions for me to add.

Edit: I forgot to mention Money may also be used to sleep in order to recover. Like hell am I going through the tedious act of keeping health up via butterflies.
