[95 / 25 / ?]
Post your Nuzlockes here! So I decided to embrace my Inner Autism and start a Nuzlocke. I chose Oshawatt as my starter. Everything went well, I took down the first three gyms with ease. My party was Lili the Petili Sneaky Pebbles the Roggenrolla Butter the Dewott HottDik v2 (in honor of HottDik the First who was a Pansear) the Darumakka and Cat the Herdier We were destined to go places, or so I though. The first one to go down was Butter the Dewott who met his fate to a Woobat who got a not so lucky Air Cutter crit. That was my fault as I should have healed him when I had the chance, but I didn't. No matter, we got this I said, but little did I know, my demise came sooner than I though. Then, he showed up. N. The man who took my friends away from me. I thought this would be a smooth sailing, but I underestimated him, and that led to my downfall. Crit after Crit, confusion after confusion, burn after burn wore my team down and exhausted all of my items. After I got rid of his thee Pokemon, Sygilith came. My Pokemon were weak after being fucked by the bastard child known as RNG and he easily outsped all of them. One by one, they all went down like flies. After I retreated, I looked at the lifeless husks of each member of my team. Luckly I ws given a second chance since I forgot about my Leavanny, my Tympole, my Dwebble and a Trubbish, but I'm not even sure if I want to...

Sounds shit to me. Why would I want to play with dumb rules like that that would essentially zap the fun right out of playing it?

I've been doing my first Nuzlocke ever on HG recently. I'm getting the grinding down, and recently took down the second gym with only one loss of my Sentret at the first gym.My player name is Minato too. Current team: Tatsuhiro (Growlithe Lvl 14) (Recent catch) Junpei (Quilava Lvl 22) Pippin (Gloom Lvl 22) Jamie (Flaffy Lvl 22) Kristy (Togetic Lvl 22) Protoman (Raticate Lvl 22) So far I'm having a fuck load of fun. I'm feeling pretty baller.

My Nincada managed to survive, but was not strong enough to endure the double plasma battle after the single battle before it drained all my healing items due to it having type advantage over me.
Ah well, losing is part of the fun.

The Nuzleaf was named after and drawn like John Locke from lost.

Can you catch pokemon in the starting town, or does the starter count for that?

The important thing is that you stick to whatever you decide.

I'm doing a FireRed Omega run and I'm in Victory Road. What level should I be at before I take on the E4? My Pokemon are all hovering around the high 60s right now, and I was thinking getting them to the 75-80s range.

Welp, it happened. My starter died. Made it to the burnt tower and the fuckers ghastly mean looked right away as usual followed by bayleef and bam, on hit KO'ed by a grass move. RIP in piece Sawyer the Croconaw. Then fucking magnemite and zubat poisoning, paralysing and confusing everything. Its nice how in nuzloke you dont brute force and let your guys faint so im using potions and stuff. Of course the day was saved once again by RADICAL FUCKING LARRY the most based of bros. He is the hero for a modern age. Current team:>Radical Larry the Weepinbell, lvl.21 >Brodin the Geodude, lvl.22 >Pendleton the Fearow, lvl.22 >Bertha the Pineco, lvl.22 >Big Roy the Krabby, lvl.20 >Doc the Magnemite, lvl.16 Considering, if she survives to evolve, ill get bertha to turn into a forettres i think i'll replace doc with a fire pokemon. Wanted a magmar but my first wild pokemon in the burnt tower was fucking koffing...

>>14082634 Changed my mind and chose Leafgreen. Starters are Natu, Blastoise, and Mewtwo. Because every other option left me at a large disadvantage I took Mewtwo, Who is Dragon and Dark type with Blaze Kick and Dig. I might end up boxing him though after i get a decent team going, since it seems a bit too OP'd

Does anyone else have a hard time keeping bidoof alive in platinum nuzlockes? Every time I try a platinum nuzlocke, he is always the first casualty. And every fan-run comic of platinum he dies first as well. I know he isn't even that great, but it feels bad when you just can't save a pokemon and it dies every time. Crits, I think an attack is guaranteed to kill but it just barely doesn't, ect.

Got to the burnt tower, everything fine. Oh look, another firebreather, no doubt nothing but koffings.>Charmeleon that one shot every single pokemon i had with dragon rage. FUCK THIS SHIT.

>>14082812 I thought most nuzlocker's had the "1 hit KO" rule where something like that cheesing your entire party one by one without you being able to do anything doesnt count?

>>14082786 Bidoof levels up far slower than anything else at that level that early in the game I think, Starly leveled with half the experience he needed, and was more powerful. When I did my Diamond Nuzlocke, he didn't last past the Eterna Galactics

A tip for any bros playing HG/SS A lot of folks in other gen games use fishing rods in cities bodies of water to help boost their numbers because of the one per route rule. But in this gen you can also use headbutt on trees to get a lot of rare grass and bug and occasionally even flying pokemon instead of just water, which can be a big boost to diversity of pokemon in your box to choose from should you lose a guy.

Bill Nye the Marill almost died from Poison by a Wurmple, but I had enough potions to make it survive until I made it to the Pokémon Center. The caught Wurmple died in it's first battle against a Shroomish, as is to be expected by fucking bug Pokémon.

>>14084265 I'm on the fence about it. Is it better to experience a new generation as-is the first time through, so you can see everything it has to offer and use whatever Pokemon you like and THEN Nuzlocke the opposite version, or go straight for Nuzlocke and see if you grow attached to Pokemon you might not have used otherwise?
I just don't know.
