I've been working on an improved versiod of the NugLock challenge I will be calling ChadLock which WILL involve level caps.
I'm mainly thinking about a level cap based on the average (mean) level of the gym leader's team
What are YOUR thots on a level cap placed equal to the leader's Ace?
Is this too restrictive (for example it would prevent Jah Player from entering the E4 with a Dragonite in HGSS as the cap would be at 50)
Alternatively what about a requirement to keep your team average at or below the opponent's average but allowing for pokemon to be up to 10% (rounding down) levels higher than the mean. This would allow you to enter the E4 with a level 53 or 54 Dragonair which COULD be evolved INSIDE the E4
HOWEVER this also allows for possible exploitation as you could simply enter each gym with 3 Pokemanz 10% higher than the opponent's team and use those 3 to sweep their team. This would be a bigger problem earlier in the game I would imagide
Regardless I think we are in agreement that SOMETHING must be done about OVERLEVELLING

I limit myself to the next gym leader's weakest mon. But really, as long as there is a cap keeping you from overleveling, it doesn't matter what the exact cap is.
Same with no items in battle or just only allowing a finite number of items. The important part is that you can't just mindlessly spam potions to win.

In newer gen games, I could definitely see an argument for this, however the grind its self can sometimes be just as tough as the battle that you're grinding for. For example I had three major deaths just from trying to grind in victory road in Silver. That stress of grinding sticks with you, so players like me will tend to either grind in very low level places, meaning you got to put in a ton more time, or not grind as much, which fixes the over leveling problem, at least to me.

Idk if y'all could tell but I'm >>46012262
and I'm gonna grind to 29 for Norman, not because I'm forcing a challenge, but I'm worried about something bad happening while grinding.

HOWEVER
a team all at the level of the ache WILL be moar powerfoal than the opponent team.
Do not you think that leveling should scale

furthermoar I believe that one may over level one Man at the expenz of anoter
>>46012365
YES! Item Spam is absolutely an issue! Would TEN of each item be too much? There is a difference between say juggling where you are constantly knocked down to the red and need potions just to float....and of course when your wall has taken back to back hyper beams...
PERHAPS some amount of an item limit IS in order.
To be FAIR would be to limit one's self to using only as many items as the opponent uses...
HOWEVER
Does not it seem that enemies Pokes can be at times greater than those at our command?
>>46012374
Pelipper is based af but mide often dies around the eclectic gym or on the route immediately preceeding it (where the green thunder cat spawns with Mae as well)
>>46012381
>the grind its self can sometimes be just as tough as the battle
No it's not. The only times you die grinding is when you're not paying attention.
Time isn't an issue anymore as we have emulation (and even if it was that the POINT of the Nuglock is to make it difficult. If you don't want Jah Challenge then just go circle jerk Charizard to level 75 and sweep Blue that way)
FURTHERMOAR
You are allowed to use UNDERlevelled pokemon in ChadLock HOWEVER OverLevelled WILL be dealt with
HOWEVER until this committe FINALIZES the ChadLock this discussion remains, preliminary, theoretical, and purely inconsequential in nature

Definitely a good point about emulation speeding up grinding. I didn't think about it sense I'm a purist when it comes to playing Pokémon.
I do still feel that grinding can be difficult but at this point it's just a case of agree to disagree.
To summarize my point, I feel if someone is to overlevel their team to hell by spending hours upon hours nonstop grinding, then they do somewhat deserve an easier fight.

How many locks deep are you? I felt the same way years ago but after a while you get bored of spending hours and hours training your mons only to have them one shot the E4
I started with level caps to make the game more interesting and more challenging. There's nothing challenging about setting emulation speed to 16X, picking an area where your Mon can one shot everthing and grinding till you're out of PP on your one shot moves then going to heal. Of course you can still make mistakes (which is part of the point of Nuglocking) but it becomes essentially mindless A spamming.

Very nice catch there anon, congrats (now take care of her)
Also side note on
>dupe clause
I believe Pokemon are Unique and you should therefore ONLY have ONE of each evolutionary line in a true ChadLock. If you encounter a pokemon which belongs to an evolutionary line which you have already captures then you may NOT catch it.
I think there should be a THREE strike policy for duplicate pokemon in a ChadLock. For example let's imagine ourselve's in Viridian forest and you have already captured a Weedle
>First enounter - Weedle
You cannot capture this pokemon, Strike 1
>Second encounter - Kakuna
You cannot capture this pokemon, Strike 3
Now, if the third pokemon is either Weedle or Kakuna you may NOT capture any pokemon in Viridian Forest so sorry try Route 3
HOWEVER
If Metapod, or Caterpie or Pikachu should appear as your third encounter then THEY will be catchable
This is of course supersneeded by any Shinies you may encounter (also I feel if a shiny is enoucntered it OUGHT to replace the pokemon previously cought from the area)
Furthermore I feel the usage of the Master Ball ought to be restricted to shiny pokemon only...and that legendarys OUGHT to be catcheable but ONLY if they are the first encountered and NO master ball

cringe as fuck desu absolutely not kosher mate
The ONLY drawback to using Turbo mode is that you pay less attention to the game. That's the only reason why you fall to such obvious shit as Koffing / Graveller using explosion.
If there are wild pokemon who can still KO while grinding it's because you weren't paying attention OR you're not familiar enough with the game.
These are the REASON why you play a nuzlock, for a CHALLENGE, if you decide to ignore the challenging aspects of the game then you're not really playing at all.
Now don't get me wrong, what you'e dong is great practice, but it is NOT a Nuglock, Nuzlocke, and CERTAINLY NOT a ChadLock

I've always though that the more you randomize, the more cringe it gets.
I think just the starter is Okay in certain circumstances (if you roll a 0 on your trainer ID for example) or perhaps to randomize the pokemon that comes from the Strange Egg in GSCHGSS
HOWEVER
I feel that having every fucking pokemon you encounter on every route randomized takes away a good amount of the strategy from the game. That being said it is a fun way to shake the game up and I suppose if you do these sorts of things as an exercise it could be worthwhile, but for me I'll be ChadLocking

In FRLG specifically, any evolutions into a species registered in the National Dex, but not the Regional Dex, automatically cancels itself. This really only applies in normal runs to Golbat, but when randomizing, it's an absolute fucking plague.

You absolutely cannot. For as long as your Golbat has max happiness, it will attempt to evolve and then be forced to cancel EVERY SINGLE LEVEL until you obtain the National Dex. FRLG is, in my mind, only barely better than RBY themselves. Really poor remake, especially compared to HGSS and even ORAS.

I've been documenting the events of my first 13 nuzlocke runs in text documents to string together an actual over-arching narrative story with stupid bullshit involving ghosts, amnesia, time travel, multiverse bullshit, ghosts, that old yandere Lyra concept, a harem anime protagonist, and ghosts, with the intent of turning it into a comic eventually. I gave up on the comic and now I mostly just write them for the sake of self-indulgence.
It was so autistic that I actually used the fact that I lost the save for my old FireRed rom as a majorly relevant plotpoint to the story.
And I might slowly bleed some elements of it into the comics that I'm already doing that are otherwise disconnected entirely from it

This is excellent news. I had Concerd there would be Conflict between an Modified ROM and the emulator. I WILL try, perhaps Platinid, perhaps FR perhaps even Black (though unlikely as I have NEVER played black nor Black 2 not even once. Every time I try I cringe out of there by the 2nd route)
Perhaps evid another SS run if (and when!) I wipe on this run.

I fear the Gyrados, the Dragonite, and the Gengar.
I fear that in my QUEST to ChadLock I will merely WIPE at the E4 (not to mention I had NOT beed ChadLocking so already I have lost the ChadLock (and not to mention that the ChadLock REMAINS undefined, unspecified, purely abstract and theoretical NON-Binding))

Took you guys' advice to heart, decided not to do an epic autism difficulty romhack like SGSS or Renegade Platinum for my first Nuzlocke and am instead doing Blue. My party after the optional Route 22 battle (boxed a Rattata that I only caught so I could skip any other Rattatas as dupes). Playing on Hardcore rules, so no items in battle, no overleveling the next gym leader, dupes clause mandatory so no teams of Gyarados.

Common question, easy answer. Every Pokemon has a "caught in" note in their status. Once you have one location, you can't get another one with that same "caught in" location. This can be a little tough to figure out before the catch, but easy to compare after, so if you're uncertain, just grab the 'Mon, check it against the one you think might be from the same spot, and toss it out the window if it does, in fact, share the same location.

Yes, the "catch the first thing you see" rule applies for each named area. So each route, each kind of cave, but NOT each different floor of the same cave.

You can make your own choices, but I wouldn't recommend White 2 for a first Nuzlocke. It has some oddities. The early-game is really light on encounters (even if you're deathless you'll only barely have a full team for the third gym leader) and the first gym leader is pretty strong, liable to wipe you if you didn't get the right encounters before him. Plus there's a few areas with different encounter tables/zones but the same name (such as Giant Chasm or Reversal Mountain). Ultimately it's up to you though.

Alright bros. Here's the game plan:
I'll Start with Ribrianne against Norman's first Slaking. I'll live a hit and set up Bulk Up, then kill it. When vigoroth comes out I'll use that oppertunity to switch to Ketchup and set up sandstorm and double team. once I feel ready I'll kill the vigoroth and get to Norman's ace Slaking. In order to beat it. I have to survive at least one hit of his, then using dig on a truant turn will line me up to never get hit on an active turn, then I get the dub. capiche?

you can Fake Out the first Slaking so you won't get hit until you have +1 defense

>set up Bulk Up only to switch out
Just hit the bastard with a Fake Out and one or two Vital Throws, should be enough. Don't risk a set-up of only +1 for one Pokemon. Setting up on Vigoroth is probably a good idea, though.

>Keep us updated on what you end up deciding the proper restrictions for this "ChadLocke" to be.
Oh believe me, you'll know. You'll know the ChadLock with your own lips, you YOURSELF will speak it's name and it's rules will be your rules. You will come in time to recognize the FAILURE of the NUGlock and ridicule those who held up it's tenents.
Do you not understand? Nuglock is only just the beginning, the game is performance, not in perfection
We are tasked, as the earliest minds on the internet, we the minds that think and feel and speak and steal with information in clearnet signals before big brother obliterates our ability to comunicate.
WE ARE the ony living souls who CAN save Pokemon for eternity and when the Singularity loads up Pokemon Crystal WHAT will it play

Tell me great hero, but please keep it brief, IS the level cap the next gym's Ace?
WILL there be any penalty for a LARGE team (SUPERSIZED)
MAY you use items OUTSIDE of BATTLE?
What is your opinion on LEGENDARY pokemon? Fossils? In-Game Trades? Snorlash?
DO you expect to win? These seem EXTREMEME to me?
And a last question:
>IT should go without saying that this is the case but it must be confirmed in these dark and dangerous times of ours
WILL you be using SET battle style?

Whatever the next gym's highest level is. Usually that's the ace I'd think!
>WILL there be any penalty for a LARGE team (SUPERSIZED)
Eh. The penalty is just a time penalty of having to grind up more mons but emulation 4x speed makes this trivial.
>MAY you use items OUTSIDE of BATTLE?
Naturally.
>What is your opinion on LEGENDARY pokemon? Fossils? In-Game Trades? Snorlash?
Yes, if they're my first non-dupe encounter in an area. Fossils count as an encounter for the lab where I resurrect them, not from the area I got the fossil item from.
>DO you expect to win?
I've never Nuzlocked before, so I don't know what I'm in for. Probably because I've heard Gen I is ez
>WILL you be using SET battle style?
Of course. Forgot to mention it but that's part of Hardcore ruleset. Switch is boring as shit.
>LAPRAS ALLOWED?
If Lapras is the first mon I encounter in Saffron, sure!
>CUBONE"S MOTHER?
I don't think it would count as an encounter, since it's not catchable. Same reason nobody counts pre-Poké Ball encounters as encounters.

Keep us posted, I am intrigued by your rules (and I suspect you will die as I find them to be rather extremem and your claim you've 'never nuzloked' before suggests you will fall prey to simple Gotchas which we have come to expect. My prediction by Lt Surge we will have a better understanding of where this run is going. If you can clear him while maintain your strict level and item requirements THEN I too mayneed rethink ChadLock's entire premise

>TITLE
On the Usage of Master Balls and the capture of Legendary Pokemon
>FORWARD
In consideration that the ChadLock MUST be a challenge, and MUST include KINO LVDO SOVL Whenever AND Wherever Possible it MUST be that certain OP items and pokemon are restricted. However I feel that legendaries, often being deep within their respective area AND often quite a pain in the ass to catch I FEAL they present sufficient challenge to merit their inclusion in an ChadLock.
>PROPOSAL
Master Ball may NOT be used to capture Legendary Pokemon including (but not limited to) Birds, Mews, Dogs, etc
***ASIDE***
I would propose the Master Ball be EXCLUDED from play with the exception of a Shiny, also it should go without saying that a shiny Legendary MAY be caught using a Master Ball
***********
Legendaries MAY be caught but ONLY if they fulfill the standard Nuglock requirements.
>DISCUSSION
I feel these changes are fair. The risk of trying, and almost certainly failing, to capture a legendary WITHOUT a Master Ball would deter many players from attempting it, and rather taking the easy normal pokemon catch HOWEVER for thos trainers who feel it possible (or neccessary should your run be in danger od falling into a second darkeness!) they MAY attempt to siege the Legendary with Many Repels and finally Encounter Said Legendary As The First Encounter Of Their Area AND MAY attempt to catch said Legendary WITHOUT master balls

After a short nap and several more hours of grinding I the Lady Trio of the Team Bertha(Quagsire) Lizzy(Poliwhirl) and Kamala(Jinx) have finally reached the Thirst Thirties!
This has been slow going on account of
>shitposting
&
>not being able to use fast forward as zealously as I would like on say a GBA emulator
DesMuMe runs very precariously and even with frameskip set to unlimited or whatever it's fairly slow (plus playing on high speeds makes my laptop fans start to reach takeoff speeds and I'm trying to stay silent so my Mom doesn't know what I'm doing...unfortunately the house is built with shity acoustic incelation and you can clearly hear the fans from down the hall even WITH the door closed....
However all good things will come in al good time and I WILL Keep The Faith and Hold Jah Lide!
However
Kamala is SEVERELY underpowered in comparison to Bertha and Lizzy!
I am CONCERNED about her viability, HOWEVER, I would as leif abandon her now. I see little chance of success should she be swaped (though I am maybe beginning to question my decision to NOT use Rhea(Geodude) as it would be better to have a VIABLE pokemans than this Kamala Jinx Bullshit
DO NOTE
The issue with Kamala is this:
>She has very respectable Sp Atck but ABISMAL ATK AND she doesn't fucking learn Psychic!!!!! AND her big ice moves are Physical!!!! I WILL of course give her blizzard but without Ice Beam I just can't see her being more than a pawn / placeholder
Pity really she seems such an interesting Mon but unfortunately she's held back in this generation

Pre E4 update. Lost Hindenburg the Wigglytuff to a crit Hydro Pump forn the rival's Gyarados because my fat rat was underleveled for the fight and couldn't take down Pidgeot. All my motivation died along with my baloon pal, but I endured. Replacet him with Hitmonlee just to have a full team.
Lola the mandatory trade mon took Koga and Sabrina down.
Phi the living meme defeated Blaine and Giovanni.
And now we face the long grind so I can this end and start Yellow. Big Question: If I assemble Red's cannon team (three starters, Pika, Eevee and Snorlax) can I still use one of the starters in FRLG and release it immediatelly after catching something I can use or will I have to skip the remakes entirely?

Beat Whitney with little issue.
Went onto Route 35 and ran into an Abra. Immediately went back and picked up Ice Punch, then proceeded to grind it up to 16.
Think I'll hang out on Route 35 and grind some levels for Alice and Loc, seeing as they're both pretty underleveled.

A very mixed start to my second attempt. I lost my starter early to the Dunsparce trainer because of Roll Out getting super strong, but I had two excellent early encounters with Mareep and Magnemite. Unfortunately things just took a turn for the worse and I lost my Flaffy while catching a worthless little Buneary of all things - I just wasn't paying much attention to how low my health was. Magnemite should be able to take out Burgh on its own but things are looking rough.

You're the same guy from earlier I must assume. Man, I've heard BW/BW2 are harder to nuglock not sure if that's the case or not. Regardless you should try over levelling if it's your first Nuglock. I've done these dozens of times and my first few runs I was definitely over leveling (which BTW inspired me to Formulate ChadLock in the first place)
I really can't speak about specifics as I have NEVER played a gen5 game
However
I do KNOW for a fact FRLG are very easy and so is GSCHGSS (except there is considerably more levelling in those)
I also KNOW emerald is more difficult than those (I have NOT completed a Platinum run either tbqh and that may be even harder idk)
Best of luck, go level up, and gick some PokeAss!

I've actually done Blue, Sapphire, and Emerald before. Honestly I'm just making silly mistakes, in both of these attempts the deaths have been easily avoidable without having to be overlevelled.

Isn't the slot machine also RNG bullshit? Besides, in these games, the coins cost a shit ton of money for only one (1) non reusable TM. Either you pay an exorbitant amount of money for item, or you grind your ass of in the casino which is a waste of time. Even if Voltorb flip is slow, it's still faster than gaining a profit from slot machines.

Slot Machine is indeed rng bullshit, even worse than voltorb flip. Pretty easy to profit off voltorb flip even without savescumming but with slots even if you have perfect timing at least half the time you can't win, the slots are rigged.

I think FRLG / GSCHGSS are the easiest games to nuzlocke but it's most important that you play a game you're familiar with. Perhaps Black in that case if that's what you've played
My overall recommendation remains FRLG

Had a scare when I was heading back to Goldenrod to check Mary's friendship and Raikou showed up. Then I remembered that they always ran. Still was funny to me that it happened.
After grinding out friendship with Mary for what felt like forever and levelling her up to 24, she evolved into a Crobat and murdered Morty's entire team without issue. She even one-shot the Gengar.

Most of the time I see that question asked in these threads, most people seem to agree that the whole zone counts as one route. In the original comic, he also didn't use nicknames, but that's now a mainstay of the ruleset. You can't really look at the original hard mode comic as the gospel
Though, there's also the pinwheel clause, since the different areas of the safari zone do have different encounter pools.
Honestly it depends on if you want to invoke the Pinwheel Clause, I suppose

Ruleset:
>The player must assign each Pokémon a role before it can enter a battle, which determines what restrictions the Pokémon is subject to. >These roles include a King, Queen, two Bishops, two Knights, two Rooks, and eight Pawns. A player may only have one Pokémon of each role on their team at a time.
Addendum: Since this is Grand Chess, there's 10 pawns, and also 1 Marshal and 1 Cardinal.
>The roles are subject to the following rules:
>King: The starter Pokémon. The King must remain in the party at all times, and if it faints, the run is considered lost.
>Queen: The Queen is not subject to any restrictions in battle and may be used as normal. However, the Queen must be a female Pokémon.
>Bishops: A Bishop may only know two damaging moves at any time. (If the Bishop knows more than two damaging moves and they cannot be deleted, two must be selected for use and the others must never be used.)
>Knights: A Knight may not use any moves with a Base Power greater than 60.
>Rooks: A Rook may not use any damaging moves with secondary effects (such as chance to inflict status or chance to flinch) but may use non-damaging moves with effects.
>Pawns: A Pawn may never evolve, and must be its line’s lowest evolution. This means higher evolutions may not be caught for use as Pawns. However, if the Pawn wins a Gym Leader, Elite Four, or Rival battle by itself (without any other Pokémon participating) it may be “promoted” to one of the other roles, regardless of the number of Pokémon already in that role (only female Pawns may be promoted to a Queen).
Additional:
>Marshal: A Marshal may only use damaging moves.
>Cardinal: A Cardinal may not use any damaging moves without secondary effects (such as chance to inflict status or chance to flinch).
Gonna go with a 3 strike dupes clause, as well.

I might adjust the Starter rule myself, since I don't necessarily want the King to be forced to be a starter if I do many of these. Maybe just make the King a mon caught and assigned the role before the first gym(essentially, treating the entire squad as pawns until the King is chosen).

You're basically stuck with Ember and Fire Blast unless you train Growlithe to 50 before evolving him.

Gengar also doesn't get a single good STAB Ghost type move because you only get Lick, Night Shade, and Confuse Ray.

here's my notes

The purpose is to create a more perfect Nuzlocke Challenge as the original is both too ambiguous, and too easy

**Starter ID number
1-3 = fire
4-6 = water
7-9 = grass
0 = CHOICE
**No breeding
**Ledgendaries ARE OK BUT no master ball AND must be first pokemon encountered in respective areas (This applies to ALL special event pokemon ie Cubone's mother, Zapdos, Driftloon etc)
**Shinies MAY be cought, however they must replace whatever you had previously cought on that area (with exception of another shiny)
**Shinies are NOT exempt from Rule 1
**Master Ball should NOT be used except in the appearance of a shiny. Explicitly forbidden from being used on ledgendaries (with exception of a SHINY ledgendary)
**SET battle style to SET
**You may NOT flee
**No Day Care
**No Exp Share
**BATTLE ITEMS BANNED!

***Unlock impossible trades / self trading is OK!
***If you run out of available Surf / Rock Climb / HM slaves TOUGH LUCK YOU LOOSE!
***Remember, there are plenty of cities (areas!) with ponds to fish in!
***Trophies (ie Pokemon that break one or more of the rules) are OK but they must be kept in DEAD box and NOT used at all during the run.
***White out is NOT a game over. You only GAME OVER when you are out of Living Pokemon (or you lack the ability to progress because you don't have an HM slave(
1
Any Pokemon that faints is DEAD and must be released or stored in a designated DEAD box.

2
You may only catch the first Pokemon encountered in each area.

2.1
A new area is defined when the title bar pops up. Therefore Rocket Hideout in Celadon City is a new area but the game corner is not.

2.2
In game trades / gift pokemon are allowed however Rule 2 is still in effect (ie player must decide between ONE pokemon from the gamecorner OR Evee in Celadon city)

3
You may only catch one of each evolutionary line.

3.1
If the first Pokemon encountered in a new area belongs to an evolutionary line which you have already captured you may not catch it.

3.2
The player is allowed 3 "strikes" before they are not allowed a pokemon on the particular route (ie if the player has aleady captured a weedle and 3 kakunas appear in a row in Viridian Forest as your first 3 encounters you may NOT catch any Pokemon in Viridian Forest 3 strikes, you're out!)

4
The player may NOT overlevel (for gyms)

4.1
The highest level Pokemon on your team may NOT exceed the highest level of the gym leader. In addition the average (mean) of your team may NOT exceed the average (mean) of your opponent. For averageing purposes no Pokemon can be considered more than 10% away from the mean of the enemy team
4.2
The player may only use as many Pokemon IN THE GYM as the Leader has (Note you ARE allowed to train and pick from any Living Pokemon you still have in your active party or in your LIVING box; However upon entering the gym you may only bring as many Pokemon as the leader has)

(ie Brock's team is (12, 14) average is 13 so no pokemon is allowed to be higher than 14, and the average must not exceed 13 SO your team can consist no more than 2 Pokemon whith neither of their levels exceeding 14. If One is 14 the other must be 12 or lower, or you may use two level 13)

5
Rocket hideouts are treated like gyms (maybe minus the # of pokemon limit)

****END*****

What the hell was Game Freak smoking? Vulpix learns it at level 35, but Ninetales doesn't learn it at all either. This is so dumb. I get that GF wasn't thinking about balancing in Gen I, but surely they were thinking about making a fun game. I don't know. It's all just so ludicrous.

The objective best answer is "Whatever you're most familiar with", but from personal preference I'd recommend FR/LG since there's not too many severe roadblocks, you have access to a nice range of viable Pokemon (especially after Rock Tunnel), it's pretty open-ended, and the grind is a joke because of the VS Seeker

I use Universal Randomizer for every game. Just download it, open up the rom, click "Impossible Evos" and it makes it so trade evolutions like Alakazam/Gengar/Machamp all evolve at 36, and shit like Scizor/Steelix evolve by using the item they need to be holding when they are traded.

Also what the fuck is the Elite Four in Gen 1? Giovanni had pokemon in the low 50s and so does Blue when you fight him before Victory Road then all of a sudden the entire Elite Four skyrockets to mid 50s at the lowest, and mid 60s at the highest, but despite this my team of 48-50s almost one shot everyone in the elite four.

Staraptor, Magneton and Infernape are hardly "hidden", they are well-known powerhouses.
Luxray, on the other hand, tends to get a bum rap despite being really good in a Nuzlocke setting.
-High hitting power with Return and Thunder(or Thunderbolt).
-Passable coverage move in in Crunch
-Absolutely decimates enemy offenses with Intimidate and Light Screen and allows other team members to come in and set up for free.
Simple Bibarel is also surprisingly solid with Defense Curl, Amnesia, Charge Beam or Curse(only in Platinum).

I’m running my first Nuzlocke in Red. I had a team planned in my head including the Gastly I would almost certainly capture in Lavender Town. When we got there, I sent out my Fearow and used Peck, expecting a light tap. My Fearow crits instead, and the Gastly is OHKOed. I’m mourning the loss of a Pokemon I never had. This playstyle sure is something else

This isn't to kick you while you're down, but you really should have just thrown balls from full HP, and you should do that in general if what you're fighting isn't very good defensively and it's a pre evo (which tend to have better catch rates). This doesn't apply just to that Gastly, but to early game encounters, stuff like Magikarp, etc.

Good luck for the rest of the playthrough. While Gastly is really fantastic, it's absolutely not essential at all to beating Red

A couple of scary moments happened, but overall, everything went as planned. Reuniclus crippled the Hippowdon with charm and reflect so Swanna could set up rain and not die to thunder fang. Though a crit on Reuniclus did almost kill it, leaving it with like 6hp. It's been rough, but we're still alive.

WELL! My challenge is over. Wiped at lance. Had others dead before that. Lot more challenging than I thought since before the fight I just grinded mindlessly for levels.
Not very fun honestly. After Silph co I lost a lot of interest not sure why. At the start I really liked it even with retrying again and again, Might try Emerald or Platinum both are supposed to be much more challenging than this but I enjoy those games more.
This is the team that wiped. Moves are pretty fucked desu a lot of HM and low diversity. Thought Hitmonchan would do more work with elemental punches. They were very weak.
Had 10 left in my box. 11 dead total.
Wonder if anyone will read this haha no interests in my updats. Can't blame it very vanilla.

Couple things - I think you could have definitely levelled more, don't know what your rules were, but going into an E4 that ends at 63 while you seemed to be at 55 average going in is....pretty dicey. Hitmonchan also isn't going to be doing much with special elemental punches at 35 special attack.
Next time, definitely go in with a plan with how you want to tackle the league, i.e. Hitmonchan could have singlehandedly destroyed Lorelei with strong fighting moves with Gengar, Gyarados, or Exeggutor as necessary backup for Jynx/Slowbro, Exeggutor should have eaten Bruno for breakfast, etc. But you're learning, so you'll get these skills with time.

Oh yeah btw it only took me 12 fucking hours to grow up the Titty Trio (Bertha, Lizzy, and Kamala) 10 levels to 40
I'm thinking I should either go to sleep now, or try and pull another all nighter (I think I only slept like 2 hours last night but IDK)
also the PLAN is currently to grind the Titty Trio up to 45 then hit Victory road, Wreck Silver, and onto the E4
Is this sound as a Solid plan?
Is 50 ish decent for the E4 (Soul Silver Desu!)
I am very conflicted. In the past (and when this run began) I had used the following method to compute level locks
>No pokemon may exceed the Ace by 10%)
which allowed Dragonair to evolve at 55 before hitting the E4 However I have since begun formulating the ChadLock which seems to suggest a more restrictive level cap OUGHT to be implemented (likely based on opponent level Mean rather than Ace max)
I would invite comments from the general public regarding the flexibility and theory of level caps, your opinions on the HGSS E4 and ChadLock LevelCap Law in general is MUCH appreciated.
A few of the obvious solutions ARE
>Grind them all up to 50 flat
>Allow now more than 10% above Lance's Mean (47-48 I think?) AND your team mean must not exceed Lance's mean
This would allow Dragonair to enter the league at (48+4 ~52) which would probably not be enough to get him to evolve in the league (possible but unlikely)
and of course the method I defined at the start of my run, the OldsCool Nuglock method
>No Pokemon may exceed the Ace by 10% and your team's average (mean) must not exceed Lance's average (~48)
this allows Glaurung to Hevolve into Dragidite at the expense of half my team or so remaining at the low end of the level cap @45
Again any and ALL input is HIGHLY regarded and MUCH apprecaited.
Don't forget that ChadLock is a COMUDITY enterprise and will only be able to succeed with YOUR input. TOGETHER we shall forge the MASTER POKEMON CHALLENGE

Them being SE on you doesn't matter when you have a level advantage and so will outspeed and oneshot, you dongus. Go into the E4 with a total level of 48 so that you can almost guarantee no one will hit above 50 by the time you get to Lance, I'd say.

Hitmonchan killed lorelei with sky uppercut. I didn't lose anyone one on her. 2nd fight killed breakfast with a big huge attack. I thought he could handle everything with confusion not the case. That surprised me.
Spooked beat most of the next member. I lost Plum. Plum was pretty useless for it all.
Lance killed everyone with aerodactle haha.
No special rules. Didn't catch duplicates but no heal or level caps. Kinda. Didn't want to be overlevelled for anything.
Spooked was my starter. Very underwhelming throughout all of it.

FURTHERMOAR!
Whether or not a particular MON has type advantage OUGHT have NO determination on the level cap. This should be left to the discretion of the player WHERE they choose to spend their alloted levels within the allowed level zone (which is of course unbounded at the bottom end HOWEVER for averaging purposes no pokemon is considered to exceed by 10% the opponent average)
WHAT would you feel is the MOAST fare hopshid then Hanon?
1)
Fifty Flat
2) 10% +/- Lance's Mean
3) 10% +/- Lance's Ace
4) NOA - FILL IN THE BLANK _______________
>>46020908
This is a blanket level cap AT Lance's Mean??????? Forces the player to be UNDERlevelled? Hardly legal I would say, does NOT ChadLock a challenge of Lawr?
>>46020915
>It just seemed bad to over level the entire elite 4 for the champion.
THIS is the precise discussion we ARE having now. JOIN us in formenting ChadLock
Did not you just grind your levels to AN number BELOW even blue's lowest? AND did you NOT also wipe before even reaching BLUE?
This SUGGESTS that perhaps you were treated unfairly by an extreme / overly harsh level limit.
I think any of the three I have proposed are more LIBERAL than that which you followed

No fool, you have four bosses to get through. Going in at 48 means that you won't have anyone above his Ace cap of 50 when you get to him. If you go in at 50, you'll almost certainly end up with someone over 50, and then you are no Chad. You are nothing but a pitiful schizo virgin.

I didn't want to be overlevelled in general. Frankly it has been years since I played leaf green i didn't remember the levels I went off of game sense. Which was kind of correct. I was a decent level for 3 out of the 4 E4. Not even close to rival.
Throughout the game I was consistently under leveled. Examples Rival had a level 40 charizard while my highest was 37. After Giovanni everyone was around 46 rival already had level 53.
Still managed to win but not this time

After the rain was set up Swanna OHKOed the top 3. Things got a little scary once the rain stopped and Krookodile. But after thinking for a bit, I figured I can send Reuniclus to tank an EQ/Stone Edge, bait out the crunch, and switch to Darmanitan, who took out the Krook with life orb sheer force flare blitz. Seismitoad wasn't threat, and I still had Combee to sack into Excadrill, who wasn't boosted cause I removed the sandstorm. From there, Darm fire punch OHKOed it.

You do NOT understand the structure of the gym
the only challene is Lance / the Champion in the same way the GYM the only challenge is the Leader
HOWEVER
you must proceed through the warm up trainers BEFORE the LEADER
when you calculate the gym level you can ONLY use the Leader's levels as he/she IS the challenge, they ARE the gym.
FURTHERMOAR
I feel 'overlevelling' OUGHT be allowed as long as the AVERAGE (MEAN) of your team does not exceed the AVERAGE (MEAN) Of the challenge team
FURTHERMOAR
Level calcualtion OUGHT be done immediately before entrance to the gym / challenge. THEREFORE the levels you have when you first enter the E4 or Vermillion Gym or anywhere for that matter that is considered a CHALLENGE area OUGHT meet the level requirements which we ARE debating
>>46020975
I propose, with ChadLock, a CHART be formed showing the MAX, MEAN, and MIN levels of each gym leader for relevant games (Gens 1-5 desu)
This chart ought NOT include types or other specifics of the gyms / challenge / champion but ONLY relevant information needed for level calculation
This chart OUGHT then be used in player team level calculation in accordance to the relevant ChadLock Level Law

One pokemon cannot possibly provide type coverage to any single gym leader let ALONE The champion and his Elite Four
FURTHERMOAR
as long as a team average is implemented then one pokemon's overlevelling will be at the detriment of the rest of the team.
FINALLY
the 10% level cap prevents any ONE pokemon from becoming SweepWorthy of either the Champion OR his Elite 4.
THIS is a problem I suppose IN so much as a 'legal' team following this rule would be able to have 3 lv 55 and 3 lv 45 and still qualify HOWEVER I still feel this is a SUPERIOR alternative to any sort of a flat cap

How many of you randomize starters? I randomized mine with 2 evolutions and then randomized area to area encounters by similar strength.
If you were to do this and found a normal start in the wild would you catch it? It seemed cheap to me to have the option for all 3 starters. They are above average of course.

Unnecessary.
If you're playing for a challenge things should be set in stone more. If you want a spice of randomness you should be homebrewing it.
By having your digits choose your starter it makes comparing your "ChadLock" run with others loses value.

>absolutely haram
probability is fundamentally part of our existence. Quantum mechanics suggest that ALL events are based on probabilities (ie dice rolls)
As someone who uses dice, tarot cards to make important decisions in my day to day life the idea of EXCLUDING a dice roll to choose your starter is an EGREGIOUS breach of ChadLock Conduct!!!
How now you should just '''''chooose''''''' bulbapoo or squirtle because you want an easier start? What if THE DIE read 2!
Then Charmandoo is the Mon for you!
The ONLY point on which I feal comfortible compromising would be the behavior of a ZERO
I feel adding an aditional layer of probability is an exciting event that would spice up, on average, one in ten runs, the other 9 would be variations on traditional Pokeman Themes.

I think by adding this layer of randomness you are taking away strategy. Part of the challenge is trying to control RNG. Such as not catching Pokemon right away and waiting for a different part of the route. It is like risk management.
There's no risk management with a dice roll before you start. And of course choosing a starter is part of strategy as well.

and Mr. Swindle the butterfree died from a crit by the snorlax of route 7 (who had 6 stages of accuracy down btw), at the very least the snorlax capture was succesful

pryce being lower level than jasmine is super odd, but if you're not playing level caps it's whatever. if you ARE playing with caps, this is the route i'm planning on trying out: morty, chuck, lake of rage /rocket hideout, pryce, jasmine, radio tower. has a steadily rising level cap/curve. should also make the grind for clair shorter. the only seemingly difficult part will be not overleveling for pryce going thru the rocket hideout. might need to take chuck on a little underleveled.
HGSS levels are slightly different but pryce is still lower than jasmine which is weird.

Speakin of could I get your opiniod on Level Caps please fren?
We had a discussion before I zzzonked higher up if you're interested but essentially we limited the logical chocies to
>flat cap at gym / champion average (mean)
>flat cap at gym / champion ace
>dynamic cap where no pokemon may exceed the ACE by 10% AN your team average must be <= the gym average and for average calculation no pokemon is considered to be more than 10% lower than the ACE
>dynamic cap equal the one explained above but instead of the leader's ACE their average (mean) is used
>dynamic cap where no pokemon may exceed the leader's ace AND the team average must be <= the gym average (mean)
That's about it i think but let me know if you have any better ideas!
Also just to refresh all averages OUGHT be calculated using the mean (rounding down!) AND for calculation purposes no pokemon is conisdered to be MORE than 10% lower than the average (mean)
thats to prevent allowing one or two hm slaves to bring down the entire party average
PLEASE share thots, not just you, but all of you. Together we are ChadLock

>>46023285
just do a flat level cap at the gym leader's ace. the others are way too complicated and can be based on something objective within the game (while averages can be subjective in instances like rounding when averages don't land on whole numbers)
but to be honest i have zero interest in whatever a chadlock is going to be so do whatever you want

not in the sense that they're difficult to calculate, but in the sense that it takes more than 2 seconds to do/look up. but like i said, do what you want.
>>46023416
so if your average level ends up being 31.5, do you round down or up? that's what i mean by subjective, not the number itself.

FURTHERMOAR
A flat cap AT the leader's ACE would be EASIER than the dynamic cap based at leader's avg (mean)
If it were to be a flat cap (which I am opposed to as it is more restrictive and LESS FREEDOM than being able to allocate levels dynamically. In addition dynamic level allotment allows for
muh stragety
and
muh roal play
Finally a flat cap AT the ACE would allow ANY of your pokemon to be OP to the rest of the team while a dynamic cap at AVG would ensure only one or two could equel the champ (asuming an additional cap was applied at the ACE, without the additional cap it would be possible to exceed, for example Lanc'es dragonite, by 2 or 3 levels
>>46023444
>it takes more than 2 seconds to do
ahh yes in the game where we spend 20 in game hours grinding spending 5 seconds doing math is going to be a big waste of time
You can just admit you don't know how to calculate an average, its ok. ChadLock WILL have an easy z00mber brain calculator on the website for you
Also I already specified
>ALWAYS ROUND DOWN
final point, do you actually know what the word subjective means? mathematics is literally NEVER subjective

>Paralyzed
You already fucked up. If you were going to try catching one, you should've put it to sleep and weaken it with false swipe on a route you already had an encounter on. After that, you'd need a Crobat for mean look and taunt so it can't run or use roar. Even then, if you lose Crobat, then it's over. It is possible to get them, but they're way more trouble than they're worth and will potential waste multiple encounters.

Also no one knows any electric type attacks :/
I expect to get wiped in the league desu
HOWEVER
that MAY depend on the extent to which I grind...I'm thinking dynamic level cap based on Lance's AVG (mean)
can anyone provide me with a list of the levels of Lance's pokemon?
I don't want to see the actual pokes he uses (I thin I know them already anywasy but stil) I just want a list like

so the average is (290 / 6 == 48.3333 rounded down to 48)
Therefore my party SHOULD be allowed between 44 and 52 WHILE their average must NOT exceed 48 is this NOT sound fair to you

Beat Misty and I'm starting to really feel the constraint of the ban list now. There's not really a good catch I can grab on Route 24, so I'm electing to skip it until I can use the Good/Super Rod. We also caught a Caterpie, but it died almost immediately. I thought about using Noodle more going forwards, but since she has Shed Skin, there's not much reason to.

Couple close encounters but nothing I couldn't handle
Kamala came THIS fucking close to dying, again, but she's gotten lucky literally 3 times now.
Not it's looking like I have 12 levels to distribute (without allowing anyone to grow past 52 of course!)
Lizzy will of course get them. I forget when she evlolves I think it's 48 or 50 (god help us all if its fucking 55 or a stone or sumthin) Glaurung will likely be pushed up to 50 or so as well and the rest I'll share among the rest of the team. Lou Seal WAS my fucking GOAT back around like Pryce but now, he's a bit redundant I'm afraid. He'll likely stay at 47 and as much as I love Dr. Glassman he already does his job fine...Bertha is literally just a ground type lol not going to be too consequential I think (but watch that bite me in the ass where she could have saved us all from DragonKnight's thunder!)
also I've decided to replace Fire Blast with Thunder IF AND WHEN I reach Lance. I only really need fire blast for the the e4 theselves, Lance is the one I need electric coverage on
As always PLEASE share thots, questions, concerns, etc

headbutt it's particularly useful for the league so you could run both thunder and fire blast. or could keep fire blast up until lance and then swap it for thunder. thunder hits lancer harder than fire blast does but fire blast is more helpful against will/koga/karen.

As for Lance, my biggest worry is honestly his Gyrados. I have NOTHING to really go up against it. My current plan is to throw out Glaurrung and use Thunder. I THINK i'll have speed advantage over Gyrados and then it's a 70% coin flip on him dying or not.
If Gyrados hits me with Dragonbreath or something....yeah I might wipe then and there...
Overall though I'm bringing two potent Ice types with Blizzard (Lou Seal and Kamala) AND my own Dragonair (which under a normal Nuglock I WOULD have evolved HOWEVER In the interests of ChadLock I have re-tooled my level cap LAW to be a dynamic cap based around Lance's AVG (mean) level 48

He's playing some basic vaiations, I disagree with him on the safari zone (I feel it should be ONE only as it's onle ONE area) AND I feel legendaries SHOULD be catcheable as they are hard to catch, hard to get to AND you are likely to fail so it's like loosing a possibly good Mon from their area. I think it would be fair as well to introduce a restriction on the master ball so that it is only usable if a shiny pokemon is encountered)

Just checked the stats and....turns out Kamala is actually OP as fuck and literally my highest Sp Atk...
So in light of this development I've decided to give the rest of the levels to (god willing) she'll make 49 by the time we drop in.
This is leaving Glassman and Lou Seal at 47 which is low...but Bertha at 45 is even worse. IDK I thought about it and I don't think Bertha will be able to do much in the League any ways, sort of a bad pick. I needed her to fuck with Magneton mostly but against Dragons/Ghosts/Fighters/Ice/psyching (if mine memory serves) I just don't see an opening where Earthquake will be better than surf or just using one of my many wall pokes to soak up some hits and do the low and slow...
Also I don't have any fucking stat changes except Glassman and Lizzy know Hypnosis
I'm seriously expecting to loose, if you have TIPS hit me now cuz I have THREE (3) levels left to give before I'm maxxxed out and that won't take too long
League today boys strap in it's happening

I just watched a video of a guy beating the E4 with random trainer mons and moves. His entire team was 55.
I think it makes it way too easy. I guess that's part of the randomness but there's much more weak mons than strong mons. Rather disappointing wouldn't want to play like that.
Nice challenge early game though.

What game? The E4 level varies from 50 to as high as 65
Depending on the game 55 can be considered Over OR Under levelled

This Is The End
My next post will be either my celebratory Bong Hits...or a ROLL to find next game I play (I'll take suggestions of course but the way I split the odds will probably be over 50% a DS game so keep that in mind)
Anyways this is the team. Lou Seal, the Mascot of the Run, will be sent out first. Pretty sure they throw out a Bird Pokemon first and he can Ice Beam them... Leveling Kamala up to 49 worked out in my favor as she learned a Perish Song and I replaced the useless wake up slap with it. It's not what I thought it did though (though it was 30% for a OHKO) but if I use it and swap for like Glassman Or Lizzie and use Hypnosis I could conceivebly use Parish Song to take out Dragonite or Gyrados...
Fuck I'm all sweaty, not gonna lie bros I'm finna buy a bunch of potions. I think that potion use should be okay. Maybe no more than 2 in a row to prevent PP attrition but I think items should be Kosher desu
>>46025307
Did you just assume I play the new games? Fucking LOL I don't even consider Black/Black2 Pokemon anymoe. I've never played a game made after HGSS (every time I try Black I cringe out around the first gym)
My favorite game is either Crystal or HGSS then FRLG then Emerald then Red then Platinum
And yeah I'm stoned 24/7 and unironically don't read the wiki for this shit. It's more fun that way. Same way with any video games, if you read the wiki it's like when you had a strategy guide as a kid. The games become less mysterious and become more just algorithmic data manipulation. I'd rather dance with ChadLock than run statistics in Nuglock

everybody survived plat e4.

scares: aaron's heracross could've crit stone edge and killed gyarados

bertha was an absolute breeze

flint was a breeze because gyarados outsped and one shot the sunny-day setters making gastrodon's matchups way better

lucian's gallade crit garchomp after nearly being killed itself, after that it was a breeze besides bronzong setting up calm mind on gastrodon and dying to surf spam

cynthia:
lickilicky surprisingly nearly bricked milotic in one power whip, for the garchomp-garchomp matchup, dragon claw nearly killed hers, then dragon rush missed. If it had hit there was a good chance I'd be dead since I was 2 levels down.

EV training (although not perfect, duh) granted me, at Lv.61 198 attack and 167 speed even with a quirky nature.

Onto postgame if I feel like it.

If you mean the regional bugs, generally no. There are some stand-outs like Scyther and Heracross, but those are usually really rare encounters. Gen 5 gave Bugs some incredible love.

Gen 6 can burn in the depths of hell for introducing Fairyniggers.

I'll run down the ones I've used (in nuzlockes only, since I've used most of gen 1's in normal runs):

>Butterfree
Viable early, gets Sleep Powder (plus Compound Eyes from gen 3 on), early Psychic attacking moves are a blessing in Kanto or perhaps Johto, but falls off hard lategame.

>Beedrill
Absolute crap in most games, Twinneedle in gen 1 is good against Poison types though so there is a niche there. Sludge Bomb in Johto in gen 2 isn't bad.

>Venomoth
Kind of pointless in gen 1 since it's upgraded Butterfree that learns the same sorts of moves really really late. Not really worth using until later games.

>Heracross
Gets no moves in gen 2, but is great after that.

>Forretress
Extremely passive, especially before actually getting STAB moves, but that typing is awesome.

>Ledian
A complete meme, but in gen 2 you can get the elemental punches (bar Fire) and early screens, so it's not completely worthless. Never got one to the end sadly.

>Dustox and Masquerain
Not brilliant, only ever used these in ORAS though where they have way better movepools. Intimidate on Masquerain is never a bad thing, while Dustox learns Protect by level to fuck with Norman's Slaking.

>Beautifly
Like Butterfree without the utility. Never kept one alive. Dustox as well as this are excellent choices for Brawly though.

>Armaldo
I barely remember using this. Anorith is absolutely garbage from memory, but Armaldo is decent. Shame Hoenn is full of Water to cramp your style, but it's immune to crits. I recall sweeping Glacia with an Ancientpower boost.

I'll also throw in the two gen 4 ones I've taken to the end:

>Vespiquen
Mediocre. It's not the worst thing in the world, but it's fairly passive and extremely slow, which does not go well with the tying. Mothim has a similar problem, never got that guy far as it's frail.

I've only used Trash, ironically the best one. Bug/Steel is so good. Took her all the way to the top even though I could have used the Technician Scyther I encountered. Very passive and slow, but gets by with the typing and some reasonable coverage moves. Bonus points for being one of the only things able to take hits from Jupiter's Skuntank reliably when you're in Eterna City. Also Bug Bite in Platinum is nice as aces get Sitrus Berries for you to steal.

But yeah, most often not great but can be underrated.

I'm playing on emulator so I didn't bother deleting my old save and just planned on using savestates, but now I'm softlocked in the fucking movie making thing they force you to do because you have to save your game to progress it seems.

OKAY! I LOST!
I'll post full battle description below BUT
Lance was the end. Thunder managed to hit on Gyrados but left him in the red the, of course, Gyrados' Ice Fang hit a crit and OHKO Glaurung. DrGlassman was flinched by Waterfall but Kamala managed to hit with Blizzard twice and actually take the bastard down. Unfortunately Aereodactyl was faster than her and killed her with a Rock Slide
So, that's that going forward I will probably consider RAISING the level cap in all honesty. I felt that was more difficult than it ought to have been. I believe my ORIGINAL method using a dynamic level allotment based on the leader's ACE is the best system.
On my next run I will specify the rules after I have chosen a game but I expect it will feature Dynamic Level Allotment at the Ace level and other things (I plan to work on the specifics BEFORE I begin my next run later today)
On to the main event

Will went down with only some minor hiccups nothing serious. Kamala was able to take out most of his team but got confused. By the time I switched out for DrGlassman Slowbro had pulled off two amnesias (big yikes desu) luckily Glassman got Hypnosis off on Slowbro twice in a row AND shadow ball hit a crit despite Will's hyper potiod.
Koga didn't give me very much trouble at all. I started with Glassman who easily took care of them all until Muk who got off Minimize and hit me with Toxic. Luckily Psybeam got him paralyzed and he killed himself in his confusion. I switched out for Glaurung who made short work of Venemoth with FireBlast to end the duel.
Lost my first pokemon, Bertha of course, to Bruno. I misguessed and threw her out first thinking that He started with Onix. I got lucky and Hitmontop used dig while I used Earthquake. Hitmonlee with High Jump Kick nearly OHKO her so I switched for DrGlassman who managed to take him out. I made the mistake of bringing Bertha back out to fight Onix. I mean Onix was no problem but I left her out for Machamp. Honestly Earthquake looked like a winner if I could get a potion in...until cross chop hit a crit. Bertha died and Glassman had to use Hypnosis and Psychic to finish the battle
Agatha fucked me up. I was not expecting Umbreon to start, and after it get off three double teams I thought she would end my run. Thankfully I brought in Lizzy who's hypnosis AND wake up slap both miraculously hit. Lizzy was doing everything right, and even put Gengar to sleep but wasn't fast enough. Gangar woke up, used destiny bond, and Lizzy somehow drowned herself in her own Surf. FUCK. That shit hurts...
