So I started my first ever Nuzlocke in Black 2. My first partner is a female Oshawott, who is named Pudding. My next parter from the first route was female Purrloin who I had named, Kiwi but she died not soon after from a random crit ;-;
My 3rd partner is a Patrat, whom I named Pie. I have not used her much. In Floccesy I met my Acemon, Riolu. On a whim I had named him Mango. Mango has carried me single handedly so far, currently being level 16, 6 levels above Pudding. I have been playing very risky with Mango, but using Counter strategies as opposed to just using Quick Attack. My first Gym Badge was done solo by Mango. I had got a crit Quick Attack on Cheren's Patrat, so that was the easy part. Mango was still hurt when he sent out Lillipup, but I had used Quick Attack to test damage. I forgot he did Work Up after he used Tackle, so my first Counter was a whiff and so was my 2nd. I was nervous Mango would die from Lillipups +2... But he pulled it off with just 5 HP, and ate his berry into delivering a OHKO on him. It felt amazing! I have not used Riolu much before, but relying on him is making me appreciate him a lot more than I ever have. I'm currently in Virbank City, I went down to the Plant to get my next partner. A Magby, and I have named her Paprika. She nearly killed Pudding, but we managed to recruit her safely! Doing this Nuzlocke has made me play differently than I ever would have before. I'm using my Potions only when I can get the most out of them, I'm thinking about when I should make my stops to the Pokemon Center and most importantly I'm thinking about what moves I should keep for future use, like keeping Foresight on Mango for Ghosties. I'm really enjoying my first Nuzlocke, and I'm glad I chose the right name for my Riolu. He really is like the Smash God, Mang0. Reckless and full of confidence, don't sleep on the kid!
Yes, I am using the Pokemon Center Clause. Only 1 use per Center, and I'm highly enjoying it!
