Question of the thread: How attached do you get to your starters?

Challenge Run Idea: Give yourself only a limited number of healing items, and make it so you can't go back to a previous Pokémon Center untill you finshed the route/building.

Mostly outdated, but if I add something new it will have (Updated) somewhere in it. Let me know if there's something that needs updated if you have something to replace it with.

I get attached to all my Pokémon, but the starter is there from the beginning, so it's easy to call them the favorite.

Some people use encounters to seperate routes with the same name. So if the beginning had Weedle and Metapod while the end has Metapod and Meowth (for example), then it could be counted as a seperate area. It's honestly up ti you if you want to count it or not.

Hard to say, but Gen 7 starters and before I tend to get pretty attached to.
However, I find runs to be way more interesting if the starter dies. Fun to see how people improvise from there.
>>52296489
Kadabra learns Psycho Cut at level 34 and Psychic at 40, so while you're not completely fucked, you're gonna be waiting a bit for STAB.
On the upside, you can teach it Hidden Power or Shock Wave or any special move TM and it'll probably do fine. Base 120 Special Attack is pretty nutty.

Run is going good but I'm still not quite to Darkstar because of ev training. Team is shaping up. Got a skiddo, tinkatink, wigglytuff, fuecocos mid evol, event Pikachu, fletchinder, and event oinker. Only loss has been yungoose and that's because I traded him out for skiddo. Honestly it doesn't seem that bad of a nuzlocke when you properly plan for it.

Oh, and I traded yungoose for skiddo because he just happened to be shiny not because I particularly wanted to. Gogoat is a fucking house though and will probably carry the team through alot of the story. The way I did random encounters was with pokedex number and a random number generator using area encounters from the game8 website. I rolled all of my encounters at the beginning of the game.

Tinkatink and Wigglytuff will make the dark star not bad at all. Really the hardest part is just getting something to resist the dark guy and not overleveling in the final few fights.

Lvl 19 Wigglytuff one shotted bombirdier twice with play rough. So if you evolve with a stone you can "remember" all of the move you would've learned had you not evolved. Very handy tip for those who didn't know. Play rough made this fight a joke.

I misinterpreted what your question was asking for a minute there.
Basically, Jared ran into a trainer with two level 31 Paras', while he doesn't even have a level 20. I think this trainer was locked off by Surf in the original game, but that's an aside.
Darkcry (Jared probably seperated the word so people didn't get it confused with Darkrai) is a FireRed romhack that has Mew as its mascot, i guess, and mainly uses Sinnoh Pokémon. I don't think it's the same thing as The Legend of Giratina.

Oh!
Duplicate cluade is the most common additional clause other than technically no bag items, but I consider that a base, since bag items break the game.
Duplicate clause is generally an opt. in with you being allowed to catch two of the same if you want to.
Though if it wasn't an option it might prevent you from replacing a critical mon, making you improvise (or lose).
I find it makes it a little easier, but also more fun.
You could add another clause to add difficulty.

Yeah don't fight those wild tera types, it's easy to lose a mon for no real reward.
There's no harm in resetting if you feel the need, also after you do the intro stuff you can backtrack to your house, there's a tall tree in the garden, a pokemon spawns there and it's location registers as Cabo Poco and not Poco Path.
But if you count the starter mon then forget about it as their capture location is Cabo Poco

Hoppip, Bounsweet, Deerling. Even Capsakid and Toedscool can be gotten early. Shroomish and Sunflora can also, but getting them will mean losing out on another Pokemon entirely so I'm hoping I don't run into them first.

The bug gym will be rough, but I'm sure Skiddo can handle it with Bulk Up. Really what I'm worried about is the Flying Titan and Fire Star Boss. If I do not catch an Applin by her and evolve it and have something with Rain Dance I will likely just lose the run to Mela.

The only way I could see it working is if you allow using non-ghosts that evolve into ghosts or tera-type a ghost into a Fairy. Just so that way you have something not hit SE by the Dark Star boss. Once you clear that the run should be much better, but then you are still playing with typical ghost base HP

Eviolite might get obtainable by then. Maybe if fully EV trained in Defense and spamming Snarl yourself. But that probably won't be enough.

Isn't Radical Red on if those challenge hack with all the EVs and IVs set to max?
Sounds like more grinding, desu. If your looking for more mons there is Fire Red 898, compatible with the Universal Pokemon Randomat, I recommend always using UPR over in built randomats (even if UPR is rather feature incomplete.
Though I might recommend playing later gens desu.

Not that anon, but that isn't until Surge iirc, and there's a "Minimal Grinding" mode that automatically sets the IVs of all Pokemon to 31 and disables EVs entirely. Once you get to Celadon you have access to an IV/EV changer.

I'll keep that romhack and and randomizer in mind.
Part of the issue with my last fire red is just how many times I've played through kanto and with the same pokemon. I beat red, blue, and yellow at least once each. Then I've beat firered and leafgreen a few times, tried a few other nuzlockes in firered.
I hoping the novelty of all of the new pokemon will keep me engaged. Route 1 already has pokemon I've never even seen before, like venipede, arrokuda, and bounsweet. There are quite a few pokemon like miccino, pansear, tepig, and combee that I recognize, but have no idea what they're capable of and a few I don't have a clue what their typing is.
I expect this run to end, but I think I'll enjoy it.

Feels like the game becomes 10000x easier after Dark Star boss.
On an unrelated note what's with Nemona's team when you fight her before the electric gym, it's the easiest "boss" battle I've had in the game. Her first fight is harder with that early game terra boosted thundershocks.

Man cash is tight early game, I was worried in the not!viridian forest thought I was going to bleed out in viridian, especially when I remembered I wanted to be slightly higher level for the Aqua Grunt and was low on PP with no ethers. Thank god for the generous amount of holdable berries in Hoenn.
Rustburo gym probably could have been solod by Pissina maybe not, I like to think it was Kya and Piss bitch that made it possible which isn't definitely wrong. Glad Pissina cheated me out of ralts otherwise I might have been on my 8th attempt ORAS, the easiest pokemon game.

Yeah I won't defend that. Nurse Joy just sends you to the closest thing instead of what is actually next in the level curve. What is really weird is the rival battle is based off number of badges, so they know how to badge check you before a battle and determine the team from that. But they were too lazy to even do a range of teams even if not all 8.

It is a real shame. SV has been the most fun game for me in awhile with Pokemon. But for every good thing there are two more bad things. I'm just lucky to not get any game breaking bugs at least.

The way I'm doing it starter, route 1, outskirts, and trainer school are all separate (which I think is customary). This makes sense because you don't get repel until trainer school opens up so you can use repel and pick the grassy spots you want. Anyways, following these rules I was able to get Zorua at Trainer School. Zorua is a pokemon I like. For his sake, this time will be different. No more playing around.

One issue I have run into while doing the Nuzlocke challenge is that the permanent death of the Pokémon/only one chance to capture per route leads to over leveling, which in my opinion makes the game easier than if I were to play it normally. What are some ways around this?

I haven't touched SV, nor do I intend to for a while, so I can't comment on those, but for any of the flaws XY might have, I still had fun, because the core of Pokemon is so fucking strong. SwSh, I never had that feeling.
SM/USUM are also perfectly fine, possibly even better than XY, but the amount of time spent on cutscenes just makes me not want to replay them, and that's unfortunate.

At 10x speed, actual cutscenes will take a total of 37 minutes in Ultras, accross a several hour Nuzlocke, or course you have the bonus not!cutscenes which also at 10x speed proppably add up to 30ish minutes. An hour and maybe a half across a 16 hour challenge.

Nothing better than struggling back up, desu you never know when luck is going go change.
Remember UPR works with 3ds games (they don't pay me I swear). Change impossible evolutions is always a boon, randomizing route mons with the similar strength can give a reasonable change of pace (I wish UPR had proper blacklists). Hell I don't know what's under the misc./QOL tab, bjt perhaps there is even something for cutscenes.

Not making games avaliable is a disincentive. If you can not buy something you are disincentivised from buying it.
It's also not normal, it's a console game exclusive problem I could buy Doom 1993 unused right now. I am unable to buy an unused copy of Pokemon Platinum.

I guess my issue here is in implying that Nintendo is somehow special in this regard, when that's not the case, but your logic is fair enough if appended to other similar cases.

I don't think a run should end just because you didn't get a necessary hm encounter. Personally, I think you should throw the hm on a pokemon that can use it, if you have one, and not just get an hm slave so you don't have a shitty move on one of your pokemon. But, if none are available, get the slave, faint it, and continue the run

Obviously, like always, you make the rules to optimize fun, but HMs have always been a balancing feature, you either run 5, maybe even 4 proper Pokemon and HM slaves, or you make your movesets a bit less useful by being forced these moves.

Beat Red nuzlocke for the first time.
I lost 11 mons total out of the 26 I ended up having with the worst losses being a Nidoking, a Diglett, a Doduo, a Gloom, and a Voltorb.

All of those were lost to crits or SDing mons.
I also had multiple potential captures SD themselves.

My final trio ended up being Ciros the Charizard, Woarqz the Wheezing, and Starqz the Starmie who Solo'd three elite four memebers and blue.

Probably not NLing gen 1 again, the early game is really boring.

You can do it a few ways. First you actually see, set a destination marker and run in a line to and from there. In SV you can do first in a raid from each area. They still have names and such for spots so it isn't too hard to setup zones. The Wild Area in SS is trickier since if you do it per zone then you get like 15 encounters before the first gym.

If you play with levelcaps then somewhat. The early game is especially hard, but once you get into the midgame it is smooth sailing. The Star Cars being actual boss fights that are immune to status and their opening mons being there to make setting up on them hard means if you don't have an actual counter and just a check you're in for a bad time. Best you can do is prepare a designated sack to make going into a damage dealer easier. Something to spam Charm, setup good weather, maybe a screen, then let it die.

Also make sure to get Chilling Water for the Fighting Star Boss or you will have a bad time.

Welp, I lost the run to Grant. I was playing SV this week and I forgot trainers used items. If I had attacked Amaura with Pamcham one more time before switching into Charmeleon, I could had avoided the Thunder Wave and managed to chip down Tyrunt before killing it with Dragon Rage. I lost my Frogadier and a Hippopotas I captured to an earlier trainer in the gym with Solrock and Lunatone. Solrock trapped my Hippopotas with Fire Spin and then it was inevitable death. Frogadier couldn't two shot Solrock so I took two Psywaves which ended up high rolling and killing he. I will restart the run with Fennekin to variate with the same ruleset but I will make sure to skip the first Pidgey.

Ecruteak is free at last! Hopefully they don't hold the shiny hunt against me...
The Burnt Tower battle against Boba (my rivals name) was pretty easy, and the gym battle went fine, Chris' Faint Attack ripped the gym a new one. It also helps i collected a Mint Berry for him to hold in case Hypnosis went off vs Gengar, and i did switch into Gaebora to ward off Curse from Gastly. Pops evolved while i was grinding, getting Rain Dance at the same time, so that's great!
And now, after far too long, the lore!
>Ecruteak City, the largest base of operations for Team Rocket, aside from Goldenrod, in Johto. Losing the city would be a huge blow to their plans, and our heroes are eager to inflict such a blow. Alan, Chris and Gaebora march into the gym while the rest provide a distraction. Chris' new Faint Attack makes short work of the Gastly (who spited their masters by Cursing themselves) Haunter and Gengar that populate the gym. After the fighting is done and the grunts arrested, Gaebora reveals a vision: Logan's past lies under Mahogany Town, inside the old Rocket base. Unfortunately for Logan, patrols of Rocket grunts and admins lurk route 42 and beyond, stronger than our heroes can match. The decision is made to travel west towards Olivine (and with how often Amphy got sick, Alan suspected Cianwood City would be next), but they musy be wary. Team Rocket is now aware of and actively hunting the group, and the journey grows more treacherous than ever.

Back from a hiatus to play through Scarlet (game technically is dogshit, but also the most fun I've had playing a Pokémon game since BW2).
Leveled my team up to deal with the Galactic Warehouse and the Spear Pillar Incident. Galactic Warehouse was super easy, but Spear Pillar wasn't. The gauntlet of Mars and Jupiter was easy (Earthquake and Surf go brrr), but Cyrus got a kill on Virya because Discharge wasn't enough to kill her. RIP little buddy, you've been a huge help this whole run. The greatest Pachirisu of all time (all due respect to Sejun). Oh yeah, and then I caught Dialga because it was my Spear Pillar encounter and I wanted to see if I could without losing anyone (I could). Won't use it, but it's in my box. Anyways, time to bury our fallen buddy and see if I can get a new encounter.

Funny enough I was tanking hard with my Graveler and then I lost to a Magnemite getting a Sonic Boom crit after I rolled an extremely low magnitude and it didn't die.
Probably roll Slowbro since he has higher physical defense.
My biggest challenge was not over leveling before Mahogony gym, sucks having 3 gyms back to back with trainers in between and trying to keep a 4 level spread.

If you play normally, turn off the Exp. Share. The game was not balanced with it mind, and running a 6 mon team will lead to you being like 10 level above the Champion.

I count them seperate, but with unique rules. Premier balls only (which I only allow myself to "purchase" via base Pokeballs)
Gifts I pull out the catching calculator and random number generator, and throw away the amount of premier balls based on the amount of rolls it took for me to get a winning number, out of Premier Balls with-out a winning role, release the gift.
>for trades, quests, etc
First of any route, no matter if I am going to shove it in the back of my party or not. I mean technically I run a rule that I can't put pokemon in the box unless they did something important.

If it's a drawn out battle you might want to try and fit in Clear Amulet as a held item, I got 3 free turns vs the car trying to use screech.
The cars have 54 base special att and 119 att so probably better to plan around the physical.

Only if they're literally required for progress, be it HMs, or the game is forcing you to catch them.
Yes, this means that to do a trade you need to use one location for the catch, and then a second one for the trade, making the bar for trading pretty steep.

I think I did misty first to raise my level cap. I used turbo to speed things up, but it reached unbearable when every other fight was cut short by a pidgey whirlwinding me away. Said fuck it, went to face Erika with a slightly underleveled charmeleon and lost due to sleep or paralysis, and the rest of my team (in their teens) was no match. Previous attempt before, I got bored and went to face sabrina, not realizing her pokemon were in the 40's, and I came with 32-36's.

Rare candies for me in the future. I play them in foreign languages that I'm trying to learn, so nuzlockes and losing isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I beat the fire team with wugtrio doing most of the work. I did have 2 other water mons backing up. I got lucky rolls in the regard. Veluza and buziel are pretty decent water mons. I think I have a bruxish futher down my roll list too.
Update: just got past fire team and water gym. Pushovers. I rolled a charcadet in the desert. Wigglytuff, Oinkologne, Veluza, Skiddo, tinkatink second Evo, and Crocalor ate core team. I think I have this in the bag. Rolling for mons has proven to kind of make it too easy.

Thank god I found Azula, 40% chance, but that double resistance saved me, against that 3 stage boosted arm thrusts. I just don't think Wurma and Kya alone would have been able to weather the slow bleed from all the gym trainers. Quite a few close calls.

Honestly, I'm inclined to split some of the areas up further so there's more encounters. Like how on Glaseado Mountain there's a river kinda running through the middle of it, and divide that Mountain up into Northwest and Southeast. Idk, maybe that makes it too easy, but I already play with the "white-out = game over" clause, so I don't really think a slightly larger pool of Pokémon to choose from really effects that.
>>52350782
>gifts
I count it as the area in which you receive the gift; the only exception I have is the Iron Island Lucario because you get it at the very end of the dungeon and there's no encounter available for Canalave City, so I count Riolu/Lucario as Canalave's encounter. I also always count the starter as being from the hometown, not the route where you first pick it up.
>statics
See above.
>Catching Pokemon you don't intend on using.
If it's necessary for progression, then I lift the catching restrictions. HM goons I think it's totally fine to catch something like a Bibarel if you REALLY need it to progress. I think it's dumb to say "oh, well you don't have anything that can use Strength; sorry, I guess you lose!" Just don't use it in battle and it's fine. And in FireRed/LeafGreen if you wanna catch Pokémon to get the Pokédex items, I don't really have any qualms with that if you're not planning on using them ever or just releasing them. If someone wants to get the Exp. Share to save themselves a headache, who am I to say no?
>>52341928
I play with a variation of Dupes/Species clause. I like the spirit of the rule, but I dislike how you can kind of "game" the rule to guarantee encounters. I basically give myself two chances to find a new encounter on that route, and if by the third encounter I find nothing new, the third is my encounter. I supplement this with a "one type of Pokémon on the team at a time" rule, so I don't have just a team of six Gyarados.

What would be a fun challenge run for S/V? I was thinking something along the lines of alternating between 3 or so teams that all had to have a specific type for each team, so that I wouldn't end up just overleveling a pokemon to the point that they didn't care about types.

Any other fun way to handle that issue?

I started to search about more strategies about how to take Grant in Youtube without overleveling. It seems like Grant battle is really matchup dependent and that Solrock/Lunatone battle is a choke point most tend to avoid. Scraggy, Mawile, Azumarill and Axew seems the most reliable answers to Grant since his Tyrunt is so overwhelmingly strong. I believe grinding for friendship evos defeats the point of the cap so I won't force my Azurill to evolve into Marill early. Can anyone think about some another strategy to use against Grant? Team after first gym, I was dumb and I lost my Fletchiling to Viola because I didn't trust my Fennekin would win without support

I've slowly come to realize that White's Nuzlocking difficulty doesn't come from the trainer battles but from the fact that you barely get any fucking Pokemon to work with. Of the 47 available locations for an encounter, 11 of them are locked behind post-game.

Beat Volkner, didn't get an encounter before then sadly, so it looks like I'm running with Lumineon. Volkner almost got a kill on Hanami, but she barely lived. Sutra cleaned up the Luxray and Ambipom. Onto the League!

Thanks. Swept her with Kijana just hitting Flamethrower 4 times (featuring growth on Bellibolt). But that is thanks to EV training my mons to the max when I plan to use them in this run.

Hara is going to be Rain + Screen setter. And try to survive as long as possible.
Kijani has Hyper Beam + Normal Gem to kill the car as a last resort.
Glas is there to spam Charm at the car.
Zielony is there to use Dig and or Bulldoze depending on how bad things are going.
Jasil has EQ, max defense and HP evs, recover, and all my hopes and dreams.

Well Jasil was tanky enough to eat the signature move + burn and kill it easily. It took like 20 damage each turn. Torkoal I stalled out with Sleep Powder and letting Glas slowly get Clear Smoged. I could have beaten it without sacrificing Glas to the car if I knew that Jasil was going to take so little damage. But I was thrown off by Rain Dance failing since natural rain was going on at the same time, but it just made me think my own rain ran out early.

I'm sad too because I was surprised at just how little damage Jasil was taking. But Glas was going to always be a sacrifice. She doesn't evolve until 34 which is after the other very hard fight I'm worried about.

I wonder what the difference in encounter is like for people just going after the first mon they see though. Rolling for encounters gives you a higher odds of getting rarer good mons like charcadet. No way would that legit be a first encounter for anyone.

I'll probably do this on a second playthrough. I thought about doing it that way but really that method is still biased because of what you stated about spawns being different for different areas. Although its fine for a blind playthrough.They didn't do a very good job of making this game nuzlocke friendly.

Is it even possible to beat at a pure nuzlocke standpoint?
I don't even know how the required -raidon can be considered a valid mon, let alone where it'd count as if it is. And that's without the forced wipe likely ending the run anyway.

It is very tricky but you can lure Pokémon nearby the Star bases to go inside and if you catch them it will count as being caught inside the base, potentially giving you an extra encounter
You can actually do this with cities too , however the window for engaging combat inside the city before the pokémon despawns is very tight and you might run into the invisible pokémon glitch.

Oh that one. I would just ignore the fight entirely because it is scripted and it doesn't break the rules. And again the team isn't wiped, there is no KO and all nuzlockes care about is being KO'd. Even within the fantasy of them being dead, the balls are just locked.

Doesn't even matter in core rules; just have someone in the boxes that's still alive and you're good.
What I'm wondering is how the fixed mon can be considered valid, Unless I'm not supposed to count trainer battles as the first encounter.

Takes the Poco Path encounter. But also it is a purely story scripted scene you literally can't lose so I wouldn't worry about it. By the time you beat the game you are overleveled for everything in the post game unless you go into the final fight underleveled.

Double emerald is pretty interesting so far. Still a bit challenging raising pokemon up from level 2/3, as they can be targeted by both foes. Also, growl and leer aren't worthless, as it effects both foes. My ralts actually can help contribute against poochyena, despite only having a psychic attack.

Going to level up to 40 and give it a shot, hopefully I don't cart.
If I do whiteout though I have 2 Shuckles so I will be fine to beat the entirety of Kanto and Red.

Cianwood City. Kinda weird not to have the routes leading to the Safari Zone. Anyway, the spice up the run a bit, i've thrown a curveball in: i can only use two Pokémon against the gym. Granted, one of those quad resists Fighting, but the added pressure will make for a better narrative. Now, lore:
>Under the cover of night, our heroes sneak through Olivine, on high alert after losing Ecruteak, and to the docks where Pops carries the group towards Cianwood and the medicine needed to heal Amphy (again). Disaster strikes, however, when the group enters the Whirl Islands. A storm, more powerful than Alan or Pops had ever seen, quickly sweeps through and seperates the group. Alan washes up on Cianwood alone and begins scouring the beach for his friends. Serana meekly swims to the beachhead, and Pops appears carrying Olwen bot long after, but Logan, Gaebora and Chris are nowhere to be seen...
>>52359228
Garchomp has higher physical attack than special, i think STAB Dragon Rush would have worked out better. A quick, strong Water Type move like Surf should be able to KO Golem before it can do anything.

If it didn't it's probably release season bringing newfags in and oldfags back. Then once the ""dust has settled"" a few of them stick around.
