Hi, /vp/. To pass the time between today and 12th October, I'm making runs of a game of every generation. I already decided the games, no genwars needed:

>Gen I - Red
>Gen II - Silver
>Gen III - Sapphire
>Gen IV - Platinum
>Gen V - Black 2

Now, I need your help.

>To show my runs, should I stream them or only make logs of them?
>Can you give me a set of rules (a bit masochistic, not too much)?
>How should I nickname muh bros?

Use only pokemon that seem fapable to you

Or use pokemon that best represent the people you are attracted to

Nickname your bros following a theme (food, drugs, poisons, plants, whatever)
a theme a game

Meh, I chose games I already Nuzlocked. And I wanted a bit more of a challenge.

>>13624170

In Gen I sprites, it's more like "what seems normal to you". But a good idea nonethless...

So, we're starting out nicely. Any more ideas?

So add it monotype, no heal items and only pokéball. hard enough?

Nice choice of games, all my choices but silver.

If you haven't done nuzlockes on any of them do it.

Nickname things after people you know, can make deaths that much harder but success so much sweeter. That or a theme (music, food, places etc).

These people think Nuzlocke IS the hardest thing they can do. I can't think of anything harder myself unless you want to purposely use pokes that are weak against all of your opponents. This was my favorite part of the monotype runs I did, trying to beat the gym leaders that are strong against me. Believe it or not, I passed with flying colors. I don't know how I did it, though. (Fighting types in Ruby, having to fight Winona and Tate and Liza at a disadvantage. Winona required having Ice Punch Medicham, but I can't remember what I did to the other one)

Randomized... Gave me water.

So, let's kick some ass with a water-monotype, no potion, only pokeball, faint=death, wipe=game over run of Pokémon Red based on rivers!

Let the Ri/vp/errun begin!

I actually LPed the monotype I did, so I looked it up. Turns out I had to use Medicham again, this time, with Shadow Ball. I could've had them easily if I focused on one of them at a time, though. Yeah, I wouldn't know what to do in that situation. I did a "sort of" Dragon monotype of FR, and I beat Misty with just a Charmeleon, but I had to use a score of potions to do so. (it was actually more a faux Lance run: Charizard/Gyarados/Seadra/Dragonite/Aerodactyl I did evo the Seadra to Kingdra in post game. My advice is just to throw everything you have at it. Normal damage can be more effective than you realize. If you have a tankish poke, favor it.

Thanks for the advice. I never ran a game in monotype, and it's nice to get some help. However, I'm good at monotype teambuilding, since I kick everyone's ass with my Ice monotype in Pokemon Online.

I'm currently doing a monotype grass run of emerald just like yours, OP. it seems that they made grass the best to run through the game with, because you get ludicolo to take the fire gym, breloom to fuck up norman and wattson's magnemite. Currently training up my lileep to go make winona eat shit.

Yeah, specially for the E4. But it's easy to pass the most dangerous parts of Red without healing items. Just run from Weedles and overlevel OHKO Super Nerd Fossildude and Rocket Grunt Crimey.

I actually have only vitamins, rare candy and elixirs/ethers in my pocket in any game I play. Items are for the weak.

Go with a theme; make sure it's something you're interested in. Past themes of mine have included using names of philosophers, psychologists and theologians, respectively.

>rules
Nuzlocke that shit, bro.

Stream that shit. Or do a let's play.

The rules are harder than Nuzlocke and the theme is rivers. Look at the link in one of the comments.
