Very excited to get past Clay and try and catch a Tynamo! Really looking forward to my whole 8% chance there.

Also I'm really liking all the stories people are writing for their games, and the personalities people are giving their trainers and pokemon, you're all so cool.

Started up a Wedlocke of Platinum. Roark was an easy sweep from Shamrock after 2 Growths. Also allowing the use of genderless pokemon which I'll coinflip for their gender.

Well I wiped to Norman. Flannery was even easier than I thought she was going to be, she didn't even use Overheat. But after losing Coke and then Canada Dry in quick succession to Norman's gym leaders it was kind of inevitable that I wasn't going to win. Tried to cheese with Rollout on Sprite but it wasn't enough. Oh well.

Might try another Monolocke, but also might just do a regular run.

The stretch from Petalburg to Fortree was ROUGH. The terrible weather made traversal hellish for the team, and the amount of tough trainers on the way there was insane. She figured that only the most hardcore trainers would be lining up to battle on a route constantly swamped with heavy rain, but wasn't this a bit much??

And- just Erin's luck, of course- she even got stuck in the middle of a fight between some Team Aqua guys and a bunch of scientists. After one of the grunts smacked a scientist and threatened further harm the young trainer had to step in and fend them off with her new Sharpedo... that shut them up real quick.

To top that all off, just as she was about to reach Fortree she met a Ruin Maniac who... lived up to the name. The Maniac hardly said a word- he just tossed a Baltoy at her feet. Just as Erin was about to pick it up she saw Miccosukee swat it out of her hand-
-and him explode as consequence, blown to bits right in front of her.

Thundara's sweep of Winona soon after hardly meant a thing. Erin instead focused on her silent trek to Mt. Pyre so that she could finally put Flambe and Miccosukee to rest.

After a few weeks of grieving, the girl got back on her feet. She had another gym to take on, after all.

Becoming the champion wasn't supposed to end like this.

Becoming the strongest ever didn't mean... this...

Erin lay at the feet of her team. Almost all of them now corpses. The only one left standing was Chompers.

Sonata, Excalibur, Topsy, Thundara- all of them were dead.

Tate and Liza looked nearly as shocked as she did. Erin could hardly breathe.

She felt like she was choking- like she'd just perverted the very laws of the universe, and like this was all her fault.

How could she continue after this?

...Arceus only knew.

And yet, in three months' time, the trainer could be seen once again atop her Sharpedo, swimming along the Sootopolis coast looking to train an entirely new team from the ground up...

...it was clear to Erin, now, that nothing was going to stop her. NOTHING could.

Not even the end of the world as she knew it.

I'm sorry if I've missed some replies to my previous post! I am super busy lately and have not been able to update much, but I finished my Y run a few days ago. I don't know how I messed up the formatting (and also forgot to put that Dromio has Poison Jab instead of Toxic Spikes), but oh well. Too late to edit.

Titania the Tyranitar died unexpectedly to the final trainer on Victory Road. I didn't have anything to deal with his Alakazam and I knew it would have Focus Blast. Unfortunately, everyone else was too important to die, and knowing that I had Goneril the Zweilous in the box waiting to be trained made the decision to sacrifice Titania easier. She didn't deserve to live such a short life, and I feel bad that I just tossed her to the side for her to die. I should have prepared better.

The E4 went well. Goneril used Work Up to get to +6 on Gourgeist and OHKO M-Gardevoir, which I was worried about because it could potentially 2HKO my entire team. Bianca was a god to the very end, and I'm thrilled to have her among the champs.

I'm doing FireRed now and will post my progress soon. :)

>>53638506
So many runs, wow! Which one was your toughest?
>>53640635
That's brutal, I'm sorry! I'm glad at least that Chompers survived. My Emerald run's MVP was a Sharpedo named Finlay, who unfortunately didn't survive the E4. I loved that shark so much. I'm sure Chompers will become a champ, though!

Cashew's death brought to you by my hubris. I underestimated Misty's Starmie, even though I knew it would be tough. Water Pulse got the confuse chance a few times, unfortunately. All things considered, we made it out okay.

Right off the gate, there's a sidequest to save a legendary Pokemon that joins your team after the 5th Gym, because games definitely did not get easier over the years.
Anyways, Courtney's Camerupt manages to kill Tentacool, which is unfortunate, but I never intended to use one here once I could access lesser used Water types.

After this, it was time to get some new additions to the team and clean out Surf areas.
Introducing Raikiri the Electrike and Masoniana the Wailmer.

Now, did you know that you can access Route 123 at this point? And that they did not consider this with the Trainer levels?
Because I didn't. I walked in on a level 36 Vileplume ready to spread Paralysis, Poison, has the ability to cleanse it's own statuses and will suck you dry?
I beat this colossal threat, sure. Unfortunately, half of the team fell accomplishing it.
RIP Grovyle, Electrike and Anorith.

Yeah I think that's enough OR for the night.

Bugsy defeated, but not without a loss on the way there. I didn't intend on using Geodude this early so the loss of Grover wasn't that bad, but I had big plans for Bag Juan, plans that were snipped short due to my own hubris. The extra kick in the groinular was that he would've survived just fine if it wasn't for the poison, Smog got him down to 3HP which was just within range. At least Bugsy was easy enough, D'Lease entered as a level 16 puffball and exited a mighty level 18 bird of prey. Union Cave also saw our first proper strategic use of the Dupes/Champs clause, as I was guaranteed an Onix encounter there, which was definitely helpful as I missed out on Bellsprout for the Rocky trade (twice at that)
and yeah, finally decided it was time to add in some personality as well, thanks to the inspiring mood of this thread. I remember having a lot of fun with it the last time and regretting that I didn't start it sooner, so this should be a good place to start

In Platinum she has perfect IVs, and that's it. Don't know about their natures, I assume they're mostly neutral.
In BDSP however, she really packs a punch as her whole team is fully EV trained with good natures and smart AI to boot.

Recently started a White nuzlocke, and I'm now going to challenge Elesa's gym with this team, though for the actual dym leader battle I limit myself to the number of pokemon the gym leader has + their level cap. Sadly I couldn't get a Sandile in all my 3 attempts in the previous routes, but I'm liking this team so far. I lost my doggo to the second gym because he missed 2/4 take downs, and I had to make a choice between him and Throh, which I might've misplayed due to underestimating Throh.

Its just the fact that I dont hate the pokemon introduced in Gen 7+ and would love the excuse to play with them, but the wrappers they're contained in are just terrible.

I'm open to some romhacks that include them, but not in the "every pokemon is included" kind of pokedex, but a more limited one so you're not trying to grab one of twenty encounters per route.

Three months later...

Erin had risen from the ashes. She had on her a completely new team made of completely new Pokémon, most taken from the are around Lilycove City out of desperation.

She wasted no time in taking them to Juan, the eighth leader, and sweeping him with her Bellossom and Sealeo. There was a bit of worry when his Kingdra became untouchable due to accuracy buffs during which she had to bring out her Dusclops to stall with Confuse Ray and Shadow Punches, but eventually a Curse brought it down and Erin was back to sweeping...

...and here she was, with eight badges. Finally, at last, she could challenge the league.

It's a shame she had to handle this other disaster now.
Apparently Team Aqua and Magma had gone and woken up two legendary beings, and now they were trying to destroy all of Hoenn to make their own stupid dreams a reality? Whatever...
Erin wasted no time in swimming across the ocean across her trusty Sharpedo, finding Sky Pillar, and explaining things to Rayquaza.
Or, more accurately, having Torrin explain things to Rayquaza and follow them back to Sootopolis.
Oh well, at least she had a dragon on hand to communicate in the first place.

Next stop- Victory Road. And the Elite Four.

Just beat Elesa with Zebstrika hard carrying my ass. Beat the first emolga with shock wave spam to avoid static, and because the Emolga had no way to do non negligible damage, then accidentally did a high IQ play by switching to Throh after her Zebstrika came out, then switching back predicting volt switch and having a much easier time for the second Emolga. Return carried the Zebstrika duel, which is kinda sweet actually. I never really bothered with this guy before but I'm really liking him in this run, but he'll obviously have to sit out for the next gym leader.

That's Whitney taken care of! After dodging a scary Dynamicpunch called by her Clefairy's Metronome, Granola almost singlehandedly finished the fight, but allowed Grape Drank to come in on her Miltank to Curse it (and gain some EXP for the trouble). The more I look over my options the more limited I feel, there are so many things I'd much rather save for later, especially for Colosseum/XD, but at least I know of one that I'll be able to add to the team pretty soon once I get to Olivine...

>>53644978
I feel ya, I've always said the Gen 7 games would've been fantastic if they just stripped all the story from it, there are so many great things about it (regional dex/new mons, ride pokemon replacing HMs, Z-moves giving weaker mons a fair shot, totem pokemon, move tutors in USUM etc etc), but the story just fucking kills the momentum of the gameplay so hard

Had my first death of the Wedlocke due to not paying attention while grinding, but it's still going well.
>Mars
Set up some Defense Curls on Carob against Zubat and Rock Throwed the rest of her team.

>Gardenia
Navy just used Bite and everything fell pretty quickly. Also, somehow Navy got 3 flinches in a row on Roserade.

>Jupiter
Dandelion oneshot Zubat with Spark, switched into Navy and Skuntank died to 2 Dragon Rages and a Bite.

>Fantina
Much smoother than I expected. Duskull and Haunter died to Bite by Navy, Mismagius confused Navy, Mismagius died to a crit Bite.

The trek through Victory Road was hardly even worth mentioning.

Not in comparison to Rayquaza deciding to join her team, anyways.

The green giant made fighting through Victory Road... well, not a breeze, but a little bit less like the doomsday Erin had anticipated beforehand. She climbed each clifface she was shown, surmounted every challenge, fought double battle after double battle after double battle...

...and finally made it to the top.
To the Pokémon League itself, and the members of the Elite Four that awaited her there.

Erin took a deep breath...

...and stepped through the first door to the Elite Four.

I so, so wish someone would figure how to mod the games to either remove the cutscenes at least, or add a skip button, something that would be a normal feature in any other franchise by that point.
I hope when I play with speedup when I get there that it'll be not awful.

>Battle: Sydney!
A proper struggle. It began with Brickhouse taking down Mightyena, but being hit with so much sand that he had to retreat. An attempt was made at putting Smiley in the spotlight, but she was taking too much damage too quickly so Meso came in to save the team and sweep the rest of Sydney's with Outrage.

>Battle: Phoebe!
A total joke. Chompers tore through her entire team like nothing- hardly taking any damage at all- and she was over with in barely five minutes.

>Battle: Glacia!
Brickhouse led this assault, too, and would've swept... had Glacia not commanded her Glalie to use Explosion at the last minute while it was in the red. Brickhouse was taken out immediately, and Polka came in to finish his efforts by sweeping what little remained of her team with Iron Tail.

>Battle: Drake!
Yet another joke- kind of- that was almost entirely swept by Polka.
Unfortunately, however, Drake's Salamence had done enough damage to her with Rock Slides and flinches that I had to switch in Meso for a healing turn.
Meso died to a crit Dragon Claw soon after, despite having tanked two Dragon Claws just fine the turns prior.
Polka came in and swept the rest of Drake's dragons with OHKOs soon after.

>Battle: Wallace!
The true test of might for any trainer- a battle against the champion...
Erin went in expecting a bloodbath.
She came out of it with both a bloodbath and a fucking nap.
Despite having lost almost all of her team, the whole fight DRAGGED for HOURS purely due to Wallace's team of tanks meeting another tank- Polka, who singlehandedly took care of every one of his members until falling to Wallace's Gyarados, which was roundly taken out by Guile's Shadow Punch (and Will-O-Wisp + Confuse Ray combo) at the last moment...

At the end of it all, Erin came out on top. She was the champ. The greatest trainer in Hoenn.

And yet, that glory that she felt she'd feel when she was finally here...
It eluded her.
What could she do to regain that kind of rush?
Who knows, it isn't for us to find out. Erin's journey, however, continued...
-
Holy shit, that's the hardest Nuzlocke i've ever done. The only one harder was that failed run. I'll chalk that up to both Emerald being hard as dicks and my own inexperience with Hoenn; this is my second-ever completed playthrough of Emerald, despite it being my favorite game, because I spent so much time shitting around in the postgame on my first. I guess that was enough time wasted to make me forget some stuff like team layout and mon distribution, so I was coming into this playthrough essentially half-blind.
It was fun, though! Up until the boring stall of Wallace, at least. Hate that fucking champion, fighting him is never fun. At least with Lance you can counter hyper-offense with hyper-offense if you want, Wallace is just "stall him out or you're dead" 100% of the time. Uuuugh.

Anyways, that's Hoenn behind me. I'm getting a little tired so I'm not sure if I'll start Randomized Platinum today, but I'm looking forward to it regardless. Haven't played much of Platinum either.

Oh god it got worse.
The long trip to Fortree went with a hitch, adding Tropius and Absol into the team as lucky first encounters (Though very likely to happen anyways due to dupe clause)
After a long, LONG training session, the team was ready to handle Winona.
It worked for Norman, so it'll work on Winona too, right?
Thunder Wave, Charm, Sword Dance, sweep.
>Swellow
Not so. I thought I could just push through Double Team.
Nope. Miss, miss, get Critted to red. That's fine, Zangoose is not the only Sword Dancer around, Absol can do it too!
Immediate double Crit, Absol is fucking dead. A disaster indeed.
Okay, Altaria can Cotton Guard to be completely immune to these hits.
Oh, no, is that another Crit? There goes half my health.
Well, I've got nothing else but to try to get through, and eventually I do, Swellow finally fucking off.
>Altaria
Mirror match? I get a lucky Paralysis of Dragon Breath, after which I have to switch. Delcatty for Paralysis, then beat it down, seems fine. Nope, The Altaria gets paralysis off of Dragon Breath too. It's not like I have good options here, so I stay in hoping to 2-shot. Alas, I miss the kill, leaving it red, while Delcatty also falls.
Okay, back to my Altaria, we're in the red. Winona heals the cloud that dragons, after which it takes exactly half from Dragon Breath. Another one... fails to kill, but paralysis comes in clutch. Finish with another DB.
>Skarmory
Immediately go to Loudred, take some reasonable damage on the switch, then just go for the Overheat. MiSs.
Take another hit before the second one actually connects, with Skarmory left at 1 HP without Sturdy? Loudred is now also dead.
Wailmer comes to finish.
>Pelipper
Both Zangoose and Altaria are in the red, so Wailmer just has to beat this dumb pelican somehow with only Water moves.
Spoilers, it has Roost, this is never happening.
After a long back-and forth, I'm able to get Pelipper fairly low on the turn Wailmer falls.
Zangoose comes to finish the job

Hey /nuz/, someone shared an early Crystal Clear rom (2.0?) the other day so I started a Nuzlocke. I decided to make my character a NEET scumbag forced to do something with his life by his mom in Pallet Town, so he signs up for Team Rocket. He's a bit of a mook and I might draw some of this later for immersion.

and while i had been aware that huge power was exceptionally good, i had personally never gotten the chance to use it before so i didn't know just how good it is until after I wiped to flannery. not going to be making that mistake again

Not much to report. Cabbage's death was 100% my bad, but aside from that the run has been uneventful. Samsaek got arena trapped by a lvl30 Dugtrio back when she was a lvl22 Meowth. By some miracle she got two crits on Cut and clawed her way out with 3 HP.

Morty finally defeated after building up to a full team! The fight itself was about as frantic as I would've expected it to be, but was altogether much cleaner as well. Mimi Miami led the charge, her Surf doing lots of damage, but was ultimately halted as she was burdened by a pesky Curse. Granola managed to land a few Mud-Slaps on Morty's Gengar which gave the team a little bit of safety, but had to be switched out as he was finally struck by a Hypnosis. Mimi comes out again but is also hit by Hypnosis. I decide to risk getting hit by a Dream Eater since I know she's plenty bulky, actually managing to dodge the first, but the second does enough to where a crit would take her out, so I send out D'Lease. D'Lease is somehow also hit with a Hypnosis right away, which leaves me with few options. Babybel has nothing to hit Ghost types with and Grape Drank fears a super effective Shadow Ball, so all I really have is Sassafrass. He comes in, dodges Hypnosis enough times to 2shot the Gengar with Dig, even managing to take the following Haunter out with only one Dig. A nice showing for the newly formed team!

Today is the day...

Poppy, a young youth in Jubilife, has finally decided to set out on her own Pokémon journey. The reason as to WHY is a little peculiar, however...

Her father, a Pokémon researcher, has become alarmed at the sudden shift in Sinnoh's Pokémon population. A plethora of mon from other regions have begun overtaking Sinnoh's natives to the point of endangering the ecosystem, seemingly overnight. He's tasked his daughter with finding the cause of this, and prompted her to set out as soon as possible.

With her pet Squirtle and a few other friends in tow, Poppy has set out to do just that...

With Fin unable to battle, Rocket sent out Lookout in a last ditch effort. The Sentret managed to get some good hits in, but Rocket knew the sheer number of Beedrill would be too much. Desperate, he started chucking Pokeballs to try and stop them from taking out Lookout; it worked for a moment or two as they struggled inside the balls, but eventually broke free. To avoid capture, the Beedrill started to disperse and fly back to their hive.
>"Hotrod...Lady...you're gone 'cause of me..."
>"They knew the risks boss, we all do."
>"..."
Rocket returned Lookout to his ball, and as he turned to leave for the Pokemon center, saw one of the balls he through glowing red - one of the Beedrill was caught! Still angry, Rocket grabbed the ball and sent it out.
>"You killed my pals, ya friggin' bee."
>"That's the game, darling. You won't get anywhere without walking over some others to get there."
>"...you got a lotta nerve, Honey."
>Honey joined the team

Finished this run the other day and finally have a chance to type out the final few battles:

>Blaine
Bokoblin wrecked Magcargo and Magmar, then Sidon drowned Rapidash.
>Blue
Mothula OHKO'd Exeggutor with his new Bug Buzz, then Sidon swept away both Arcanine and Rhydon. The dreaded Machamp that gave me so much trouble in HeartGold was next. Link ate an EQ then set up Reflect and stalled through all of Champ's DynamicPunch PP before allowing Farore to swoop in. The mighty dragon shrugged off a T-Punch and took to the sky, easily tanking a Stone Edge and crushing the roid rager. Sidon returned against the incoming Gyarados' Ice Fang, zapping it with Discharge. Blue's ace Pidgeot was all that remained, and Bokoblin took it out with two Ice Shards. Final badge attained, that went way smoother than HeartGold.

Onto a separate post for Red...

>Pikachu
Bokoblin OHKO'd the little rat with an EQ.
>Blastoise
Link switched into a Focus Blast and summoned a Sunny Day to dispel the hail. Blastoise still managed to hit a Blizzard, Link responding with a boosted Synthesis. The next Blizzard missed as Link set up a Light Screen to dull the impact of the third Blizzard. His role fulfilled, Link swapped for Sidon. Sidon ate the fourth Blizzard and dodged a Focus Blast, zapping Blastoise with a crit Discharge.
>Venusaur
Mothula switched into a Sleep Powder that missed. A Psychic took the big dino to half HP and it was dumb enough to attack with a resisted Sludge Bomb. Mothula put Saur to sleep and struck with Bug Buzz, but this didn't finish it off unfortunately as Red used a Full Restore. Two more Psychics put it back down to red, but this time Saur put Mothula to sleep. Saur spammed 4 or 5 Sludge Bombs that took Mothula down to red, but luckily he awoke in time to win the duel with Bug Buzz.
>Charizard
Sidon returned on an Air Slash and then took considerable damage from a Dragon Pulse. A Surf brought Zard low enough for another Full Restore, responding with another Surf. Zard had a brain fart and Flare Blitzed, allowing Sidon to finish it with another Surf.
>Snorlax
Link returned on a Shadow Ball and set up a new screen on the predicted Blizzard. Healing with Synthesis, Link was Crunched and took the Defense drop. Failing to paralyze with Body Slam, Link was hit with another Crunch and switched for Kiki. Kiki was also bitten and Tickled the behemoth, bitten again and U-turned out. Bokoblin stepped back onto the field and shook the mountain peak with an EQ that wiped out the debuffed Snorlax.

>Lapras
At this point I honestly forgot about Lapras, and my planned counter with Sidon was too weak to fight again. Link returned to a resisted Brine and Synthesized, but a Blizzard hit brought him too low where another Synthesis couldn't save him. I had to gamble hard with RNG and sent out Farore, surviving a missed Blizzard. Could Farore manage to dodge another Blizzard if this Thunder Punch doesn't kill? Farore charged her fist with electrifying love and friendship and pulled off an absolute anime moment as she knocked the lights out of Lapras with a hard punch to the face. The battle was won with no casualties, and in an alternate timeline, the Miltank known as Bubblegum was avenged...

>Team review
Meganium - extremely useful for utility purposes and stalling, though offensively the best option I had for him was Body Slam to attempt at paralyze hax. Also unexpectedly outsped a ton of opponents. Overall really glad he survived through so many important battles to the very end.
Venomoth - also unexpectedly outsped everything in his path and hit super hard with his special attacks. His typing was excellent for pivoting into his many resistances too.
Lanturn - easily an MVP, he tanked so many special attacks due to his Deep Sea Scale, and hit extremely hard with his wide coverage. Just wished he was a bit faster though...
Mamoswine - carried every battle as expected, his insane Attack and Speed coupled with Ice Shard made Lance his bitch, then EQ wiped out many Kanto leaders. The first MVP for sure.
Ambipom - fun to use in the limited time I had with her, Technician coupled with Thief especially to troll enemies. If she wasn't a glass cannon then she would've seen more use in the important fights.
Dragonite - due to level caps I couldn't use her for long, but she proved with one Dragon Dance she could defeat any foe with ease. Honestly preferred to have used her in this game compared to later when it wasn't guaranteed to even find a Dratini.

Next in line will be Platinum to finish Gen 4, and I'm pretty excited to play through that with an International Police VS Team Galactic story in mind. I might finish my XD run first though since it might affect some available mons in Plat. A glitch from a recent update to the Nuzlocke generator deleted the XD run though so it'll be a pain to recreate all that.

For now, I need to catch up on everyone else's runs in this thread since I've missed a lot and the stories look great.

Whipped up a picture of Rocket and Fin to go with the nuzlocke.

Rocket returned to the Viridian Pokemon Center to regroup and figure out his next move.
>"Punking kids is one thing, but I gotta make sure I don't get cornered like that again. I should head to the HQ and see if I can get some kinda power-up for these guys."
>"I think that admin said something about...Saffron something? I'll head there!"
Rocket decided to go to Saffron City to get some help from Team Rocket. Someone near the forest gate mentioned a shortcut through a tunnel, so Rocket heads underground into Diglett's Cave.
>"Blast it's dark in here, wish we had Hotrod to light the way."
Suddenly, the ground begins to shake.
>"HUH? WHAT'S THAT?!"
A tiny head pops out of the ground, revealing a little Diglett.
>"Haha, you scared me! No worries - Honey, you can handle this."
>"With pleasure."
Honey slammed her drill into Diglett, smashing it back into the ground like a game of whack-a-mole. As more popped up, Honey continued to swat them away one by one.
>"Looks like we're almost outta here, I think-"
Rocket was interrupted by another rumbling, but this one was much, MUCH louder than the others. The entire cavern began to shake as the rumbling drew closer.

Towering over everyone, the Diglett started to shake back and forth, faster and faster. Rocks began to fall from the ceiling, pelting Rocket and his team.
>"We gotta get out of here! Buy us some time, Lookout!
Using his tail as a stabilizer, Lookout managed to bounce up to the Diglett and hit its eyes with a Quick Attack before dashing away. The confused Diglett started to thrash around, caving in part of the tunnel in the process. Rocket managed to get to the exit just as another boulder fell, blocking the way back.
>"Phew...I ain't seen a mole that huge since my grandma-"
>"Nevermind. Let's figure out where we patch you guys up."
The team exits the cave just outside Vermillion City

After looking around Vermillion City, Rocket got directions to head north to Saffron City.
>"Let's just take the road this time to avoid any more close calls...not that I'm scared or nothin'!"
After a short trip, Rocket passed through the gate to Saffron City.
>"Man this place is huge. How are we supposed to find the HQ? This whole thing is becoming a pain in the-"
>>"Hey you, I've been waiting for you!
>"Huh? Me?"
>>"Yes! This is what you wanted!"
Rocket received a TM (Psychic).
>"Oh uh, thanks. Hey wait - where can I find the Team Rocket HQ?"
>>"The Rockets? They got run out of town a while ago. I think they still have an arcade or something in Celadon."
>"They WHAT?"
Rocket slapped his forehead and groaned. (Maybe they just relocated...I better check out this arcade.)
>"Alright, let's keep looking. I'm sure there are some other Rockets around here somewhere, there has to be..."
Rocket's gang headed out toward Celadon City. After battling a few trainers and taking their cash, Rocket heard a voice call out:
>"Heh heh, not bad for a twoip!"
>>"NOBODY CALLS ME A TWERP!"
Rocket spun around to punch, but saw no one and fell forward.
>"Nice moves! Aim a little lower next time."
Rubbing his nose, Rocket sat up and saw a Meowth standing beside him.
>"I can spot a newbie like you a mile away, heh heh!"
>>"Whaddya want you hairball?"
>"Hey now, that's no way to speak to a fellow member of Team Rocket. Infact, I'm Giovanni's top cat! I hoid you were looking for us and thought I'd lend a paw."
>>"...you're joking, right? How's some cat supposed to help me?"

This thrilling nuzlocke update brought to you by the world's dumbest idiot. Badge 5, 6 and 7 acquired, but not without suffering some heavy losses along the way. I did the Rocket HQ early so that I could get Thief, wanting to do an honored tradition of getting Steelix early by stealing a Metal Coat from a wild Magnemite, but just as I was clearing out the Electrode at the very end Granola was hit with a Sonicboom at 19HP. This was entirely my fault, I knew they had Sonicboom, I simply didn't pay attention to Granola's remaining HP and more or less let him die, right before getting to turn into a Steelix. The only saving grace is that Grape Drank didn't have to mourn for long, as he died against Jasmine's Steelix. I thought Fire Punch would be enough to clear the gym out, but Steelix survived and retaliated with a crit Iron Tail that took Grape Drank down from full HP. That one I don't blame myself for too much, I can't imagine a non-crit Iron Tail would do more than about half, but apparently it was just enough. Chuck and Pryce were negligible, D'Lease took out the former without getting hit (Poliwrath missing a Dynamicpunch) and Pryce falling to Babybel's Stomp and Dynamicpunch combo. Team is still looking good, but these are some big holes to fill for sure.

I honestly forgot how stupid some of the Gen 1 mechanics were; like how waking up from sleep takes a turn, so you can just get stunlocked into being asleep and never get a chance to wake up; or also how being wrapped also stunlocks you but also doesn't tick down the sleep timer whilst you're being wrapped so you just never get to do anything.

Standard two rules + Shiny and Dupe Clauses. I tend to not overlevel too much and very often forget to stock up items anyway.

Starter: Vert, Chikorita, Male, Careful (+Sp.Def -Sp.ATK). Actually not bad considering that for most of the game Chikorita’s main offensive moves are Razor Leaf, Headbutt and Body Slam and Sp.Def buff adds to his already good bulk.

Introductory quest was uneventful. Encounter with Silver ended with our leafy friend finishing this fight with HP still in green. I decided to let mom collect money - Some additional cash will be useful when we will be visiting KANTO and bonus berries etc. may be useful in long run, too.

Rt.29 encounter: Harry Kane, Pidgey, Male, Bashful (Neutral). Wasted 3 balls on this bird. Arguably way too cool name for every youngster’s first flying-type.
Rt.46 encounter: Chad, Ratata, Male, Hasty (+SPD -DEF), Guts. Speaking of youngsters.
Rt. 30 encounter: Mona, Caterpie, Female, Brave (+ATK, -SPD). Overall our first few encounters are not very exciting. Not awful but in retrospection I probably should wait for night or even morning to start of this Nuzlocke because of more interesting early encounters.

Rt.31 encounter: Venus, Bellsprout, Hasty (+SPD -DEF). Box fodder unless something really bad will happen.
Dark Cave encounter: Gloria, Geodude, Impish (+DEF, -Sp.ATK). While Zubat would be more interesting later, this is our ticket through early game. Also Harry totally did not almost died while I was trying to weaken Gloria.

Travel to Violet was uneventful. I exchanged phone numbers with Joey and Wade in hope for rematches and free berries. Also, decided to not take egg from Primo. Also,
Rt.32 encounter: Theo, Mareep, Naughty (+ATK -Sp.DEF).

For now I'll stick to four of Vert, Gloria, Harry Kane and Theo in team. Next step will be training them a bit, Bellsprout Tower and Falkner. I also have further plans to force one not very powerful but rarely seen encounter, but for that I’ll need Old Rod first.

There's not much to update. Arthur the Fearow got replaced with Poppy the Dewgong because I needed a Surf user and also because I'm a huge Dewgong fan.

It does make you appreciate the sheer efficiency of the Exp. Share though, half of my boxmons got a huge boost too for no real reason.
Absolutely nothing of note happened on the way to the second Rock Gym of the game. Weird they'd do that.

Thank you. I’ll try my best to keep this run updated. Speaking of...

Bellsprout Tower encounter: Malice, Gastly, Female, Hardy (Neutral). I like doing my runs as vanilla as I can and I don’t have second 3DS so this one is just another box fodder. Overall, the tower was easy and we quickly defeated all the trainers there. Also am I the only one thinking that Sage Li may be related to Falkner? Falkner’s dad was a Flying-type trainer and leader too so we can assume that it’s family thing and Li’s ace Hoothoot in GSC is higher leveled than Falkner’s Pidgeotto. I don’t think he is his father himself but a grandfather is a fair shot.

Gym itself was obviously easy but Falkner’s Pidgeotto almost killed Theo between Roosts, Sand Attacks and pretty high for this part of the game stats. Happily Gloria was there to finish this bird off and get us our first badge. Also we got THE EGG from professor and Mom’s care package in the form of one, single Super Potion. She’s trying her best.

Anyway, because I’ll need Violet City’s encounter for shenanigans later I’ll box THE EGG for now and hatch it in Azalea. Also I cleared first hidden room in Ruins of Alph but I’ll skip encounter there because everything is better than Unown.

Anyway, next part will be a lot of traveling, backtracking, collecting and other things that are nice in game but quite boring to log.

So, a bit of moral questions about Nuzlocking.
I caught a shiny Espathra during an SV run, then lost to Geeta later on. Would it be frowned upon to keep the shiny?
Also, how do people feel about doing retries on games where you've lost? As in, start a new file/run.

Nope, not at all. Despite what so-called """pro nuzlockers""" tell you, nuzlocking is all about self-imposed rules, so don't sweat it.
Losing to Geeta though? What on earth happened there?
>Also, how do people feel about doing retries on games where you've lost? As in, start a new file/run.
I've done it multiple times, and I'm sure a lot of people in this thread have also done it. While replaying through the game again can be a bit of a slog, it can be extremely rewarding to beat the fight that wiped you in the first place.

Snorlax raised its giant claw and swooped down on Meowth.

I was doing the run semi-blind (only looking up opponent levels so I don't go over that by accident), and my team had a severe weakness to steel. Things were bad during the fight with Poppy, then it all went downhill from there.

Corsola is also one of the 'mons I've always wanted to use, but the opportunity hasn't come up yet. There's always Cursola if I end up doing SwSh, or branch out to romhacks I guess.
>Nice eclectic collection of mons too, hell yeah
I always do this where I feel like avoiding the more mainstream/good Pokemon, despite the fact that I essentially do a soft Champ clause where I avoid repeats if I can.
Gyarados, and earlier Tentacruel, would've helped me out a lot for example.

Calamity struck me. I have enough mons for a full team but my starter bro (servine) died just before fighting Clay, and in the mourning recklesness I lost a recently caught Gurdurr too. Then I managed to solo Clay with the fat judoka Thro because he was only confused for 1 turn after swagger, and of course 1 shot everyone with his shell bell helping a bit. Now my mons are either underevolved or not quite high level enough that some dark grass mons are proving to be an issue. Lost Audino to a wil Zebstrika, and then Darumaka got 1 shot by a solosis and I had to give up vanillite to get a free switch in to beat a fucking Sigyliph with Zebstrika who'll be back to carry my ass for the flying gym if I ever manage to reach the tope of the pokemon tower christ.

Caught ferrothorn, cubchoo and some of these guys but of course they evolve super late. I guess my Skyla team will be 3 out of Zebstrika, Swanna, Cofagrigus and Blueeye the Basculin.

Have the Woobat there because at this rate I might need a new switch in and it's not nice but I'd rather her than my other bros like icecone.

>Lance could prove tricky with this team.
I'm not too worried about him, honestly. I plan to have Samsaek lead and Fake Out + TBolt the Gyarados (or just lead with Omu and Shock Wave). Roxie can wall Aerodactyl, and Poppy can take care of the other 3. Worst case scenario, I can switch in Sunny for a Sleep Powder and regain momentum.

Lorelei is the one that worries me a bit because I don't have any direct counters for her. But I could potentially just sweep with Omu after a Calm Mind or two. Her team just isn't very scary, even without any answers to it.

>Btw, did Sunny have a big role in the psychic gym?
Unfortunately, no! Butterfree doesn't actually learn a bug type move until lvl 47 (Silver Wind), and because bug is physical in gen 3, it's not particularly useful coming off of base 45 attack. Sunny's niche is just switching in for 100% accurate Sleep Powders. Omu's frailty makes her hard to switch in, so the two have great synergy.

>>53663451
That's a very lucky sweep against Clay, congrats! It takes time to rebuild but you'll do fine. You already have a very promising selection of encounters.

That's the league all taken care of!
Will was completely steamrolled by Babybel, who made good use of Shadow Ball being a physical attack still.
Koga was similarly blasted through by Niche, using his various elemental punches to blast through, Muk being a 3KO, but not able to do much to retaliate.
Bruno was a little trickier, D'Lease took down Hitmontop with ease, but had to switch out when Onix came out. Mimi Miami took the Onix out, but then came Hitmonlee who again forced a switch. Niche was able to come in and finish the rest of Bruno's team off, taking negligible damage from Hitmonchan's Fire Punch and surprisingly little damage from Machamp's Rock Slide
Karen was a bit of a doozy, her Umbreon was a team effort between D'Lease and Babybel until they were finally able to take the thing out, but not without suffering some chip damage. Her Gengar went down to a crit Wing Attack from D'Lease and Murkrow to a (likely) full power Return, but then in came Houndoom. Return does a lot of damage, but leaves it at a sliver as it goes for Flamethrower. I thought I might've lost D'Lease, but he lives on 32HP and a burn that thankfully doesn't proc because of early gen mechanics. Mimi Miami comes in as Karen heals Houndoom, I figure a Surf might not kill so I go for Ancientpower in hopes of scoring an omniboost. That doesn't quite go my way and a Crunch does way too much damage, so in comes Babybel. She survives a Crunch with not much HP to spare, but thankfully she outspeed and finishes Houndoom off with a safe Body Slam, leaving Niche to take out her Vileplume.
After that battle I was expecting Lance to be a trainwreck, but Niche manages to decimate the greatest Bird Keeper's team like it was nothing, eating a Flamethrower from his Charizard as that was the only mon he couldn't oneshot, but twoshotting it easily.

Now, on to Kanto proper!

There were no notable changes in the team, I realized there's a one level difference between Tate & Liza and Wallace, accidentally overleveled Azumarill.
This didn't matter because Wallace loses to one sucky flower.
Except Milotic, because this thing is a bitch. I mean, it still loses, but it took more than one turn.
So it's time for the final trek and prep. Assuming nothing horrible happens, this might be the final team we're going with.

switch to Ninetales, Nasty Plot + Flamethrower. Got Toxic'd though.

Lives a Flamethrower through Sturdy and deals decent damage.

Switch to Banette, set burn and curse, switch to Altaria, set up Dragon Dance while Delcatty just dies by doing absolutely nothing.

We're now faster, so set up Cotton Guard for near immunity. One-shot with Fly due to Close Combat lowering it's defenses.

And that's FireRed done!

Lorelei got really tough after an unfortunate first-turn wakeup, immediately followed by proccing the 10% paralysis chance with Body Slam on Omu and Sunny.

I can't stress enough how amazing Samsaek and Poppy were. Samsaek alone took down half of Blue's team, and the berries she found with Pickup as a Meowth were crucial in keeping Chamoy awake on the switch in against Exeggutor. Poppy gave us the bulk we needed to outlast everything else, and saved us from Lorelei.

I'm glad I finished the run just in time for tomorrow's Monster Hunter update! :)

i had a two nuzlockes going, one a firered on my pc with the tweaks that the UPR can give it, stock otherwise, and the ruby one was on my phone via retroarch, which i haven't decided if i want to try again or just take a break
the firered one is tricky because i decided to enforce gym+rival level caps, which makes the area between cerulean and celadon tricky trying to keep crucial 'mons under/at the caps while also making sure side 'mons aren't getting thrown into fights that they die to
otherwise
something i'm planning this run is teaching my charizard dragon claw and using him as my backup lance answer in case my ice beam user gets crithax'd prior

This is almost always a bad idea if you don't have something with Aerial Ace/Faint Attack/Aura Sphere/etc. The only thing that scares me more than the AI using Dragon Dance is the AI using Double Team.

I thought it was the safest one to set up Sword Dance with, since the rest of Aaron's mons could two-shot my Infernape. Maybe against the Scizor?

My OR run came dangerously close to ending to basically the exact same mistake.
Awful.
Really the lesson is, as always, that if you're relying on anything that hinges on luck, you better have contingency plans or perish.

So, remember when i said i'd only be using Kalos native Pokémon barring rare exceptions? Meet Poseiden, the rare exception. I saw monke, and all higher brain functions ceased.
In all seriousness, i don't mind using Panpour since it's still a new Pokémon i've yet to use. We managed to get to Santalune City last night, but it was too late to post an update.
Now, some quick blurbs to properly introduce the new team members.
>Fireflight was a loner, always had been ever since he hatched alone. He learned to survive on his own, keeping to himself and avoiding any flocks. Fireflight doesn't know how to feel about his capture.
>Poseiden watching his family be slaughtered by Team Flare left him in a deep depression, eventually transforming into suicidal disregard for his safety. His attempt to get killed by Amadeus instead resulted in his capture, and he's mad that Alan won't let him throw his life away.
>Loretta grew up simple in southern Kalos, and set out to explore when she came of age. She happily joined the now large party since their interests happen to coincide.

All security camera footage was lost in the fire, but the duo is described as a male in his early 30s and a Meowth described to the police as 'bossy, like he was the one in charge'. Witnesses said the Meowth had the ability to use human speech, but this has yet to be substantiated; a medical expert suggested this could have been a hallucination due to oxygen deprivation caused by the fire. Next, your weekly forecast-"

Rocket and Meowth were back in Saffron City, laying low in the slums near the old Fighting Dojo.

Meowth finally agreed that they couldn't cause more mischief from jail, and since people were starting to become suspicious of them, they left Saffron (for now) and headed north to Cerulean City.

Decided to do Omega Ruby because I haven't touched Gen 6 since it came out, will probably do Y after this run.

In my mind I know Jolteon is the best option here, but I absolutely love Cacturne.

It's Elite Four time again.
First, Sidney.
Leading with Azumarill, who can Huge Superpower through even Intimidate vs. Mightyena, before switching to Zangoose who simply sweeps his entire team with X-Scissor. Replacing the move for Shadow Claw afterwards.
>Phoebe
Lead with Banette holding Kasib Berry to safely get Paralysis on so I can sweep with Ninetales. This didn't work out due to a combination of Curse and forgetting to put on Dark Pulse.
Oh well, a bit of scrambling led to Vileplume basically taking the entire team of Ghosts on and sucking them all up. a real Ghostbuster.
>Glacia
Lead with Ninetales, Glalie has nothing to stop setting up. You know, other than Hail and Light Screen, followed by Walrein. I don't trust anything to break through a fat fuck hidden behind 9 firewalls, so I switch to Azumarill and Close Combat it instead. Both Froslasses get Zangoose's Shadow Claw up their frosty asses, before Closing out the second Glalie with sheer Fighting-type violence.
>Drake
Lead with Azumarill, no shit. Delete Altaria and a Flygon, switch because Screech is scary, especially vs. Salamence. Goign into Vileplume who unfortunately got flinched from Zen Headbutt. Switching back to Azumarill who can now easily one-shot, but not before living Zen Headbutt + Thunder Fang in the red. Also paralyzed.
Switching to Altaria believing in Earthquake to be coming. I was correct. Set up Cotton Guard because while Flygon misses Supersonic. No way I'll lose to this thing now. Dragon Claw fails to KO, while Flygon gets a Crit and immediately slams Altaria to red. Thanks, I hate it. Ultimately I still win here.
Finally, Kingdra. Knowing Ice Beam is coming, I go for Banette to get paralysis off, and then to Zangoose to finish up, since my actual dragon slayers are out for this fight.

>Steven
Why does he lead with most passive mon imaginable? Leading with Banette , paralyze it to make it even more passive (Get Toxic'd while at it), switch to Ninetales, set up 3 layers of Nasty Plot while Skarmory spreads Spikes. The battle is now over. Ignore the rest of this post. I beg of you.
Skarmory dies, out comes Aggron. What's it gonna do, not die to Flamethrower?
>Sturdy
Oh. Fuck.
Stone Edge hits, killing Ninetails immediately.
Head into Azumarill, whose use here might be limited, and take the last HP off the iron Godzilla. Out comes Cradily.
Okay, switch to Vileplume, what's it gonna do other than be obnoxious?
After confusion, Ancientpower and a lot of turns, the answer is obvious. Omni-boost. I make the executive decision to let Vileplume die here because I'm bad. It's out of rocks now so I figure it'll be non-threatening enough set Dragon Dance against.
>Confusion, Crit, Poison.
Okay game. Fly takes down the prehistoric weed, leaving Altaria in pretty bad shape.
Out comes Claydol. I go into Banette, thinking I can work through it decently well. The problem is, she did get Toxic'd before, and the only offensive move in my disposal is the Phantom Menace, a two-turn move. Claydol also slaps on a Reflect, making this not feasible. By the end, Banette succumbs to Toxic with Claydol in the red.
Expecting a heal, I go into Zangoose and apply Swords Dance. No heal comes, leaving Zangoose below half. Shadow Claw beats Claydol.
Next, Armaldo, who I believe can be one-shot by Close Combat. I was wrong, with it living by the skin of its teeth, and KOing Zangoose in return.
Azumarill of course takes out the last bit of health, leaving just Metagross, but there's no good path to victory here, is there?
Mega Evolution occurs, and Metagross just obliterates the blue rodent with Giga Impact.
Unfortunately, even that critical misplay can't help. Altaria has exactly zero moves to beat it with. Even a last ditch Cotton Guard fails to live another Giga Impact.

Yeah, the stretch from Wake to Candice was rough to say the least.

>Cyrus
Super easy sweep from Cyan. Metal Claw 2HKOed Sneasel and Ice Beam OHKOed Golbat and Murkrow.

>Canalave Barry
Cyan's Ice Beam took out Staraptor and Torterra, Surf took out Heracross, and Mocha took out Floatzel and Rapidash with Return.

>Byron
This was the rough part. Mocha's Jump Kick failed to 2HKO Magneton, who spammed T-bolt and when I ran out of items to heal the pair. (My rules are 3 heals per pair per fight) I switched into Cyan on a Flash Cannon and took out Magneton with Aqua Jet. Steelix died to Surf and then, Bastiodon. Surf brought it down to red, activating Sitrus Berry and killed Cyan with Metal Burst and Mocha with Stone Edge. Carob finished it with an Earthquake.

>Saturn and Mars
Combining these two since the battles went almost exactly the same. Pomelo, who I trained after losing Orchid to and Ace Trainer outside Pal Park, set up 2 Swords Dances killing their Golbat with Bullet Punch, Bronzor with X-Scissor, and Toxicroak/Purugly with Bullet Punch.

>Candice
Ultramarine setup 2 Nasty Plots against Sneasel and killed it with a crit Shock Wave, along with Abomasnow with Shadow Ball. Froslass froze me with Blizzard, but thawed out the next turn... only for Sucker Punch to not be enough to kill Froslass. Chartreuse came in to take a Shadow Ball and kill Froslass with Fire Punch and Piloswine with Brick Break.

I do feel bad for losing here because it was clearly me getting greedy with set-up moves. Probably would've worked if I didn't forget Aggron also came with Sturdy, but still. Wasn't even the first time in this run that happened.
That said, I rushed into the segment late at night because I'll be busy for a while and I wanted to wrap it up before that, so that didn't help.
All in all, I think the team worked pretty decently, except for Altaria, who just does very little without set-up, and I didn't end up having a good way to make that happen, and probably Banette, but that's more on my moveset choices if anything here. Imagine being immune to a type and then be unable to hit back.
Vileplume is surprisingly good at taking hits, and with all the healing it has, it can take on a surprising number of opponents.

Regardless, I'll be doing the runback whenever I have time.

The year is 20xx.

Team Galactic has become an emerging threat within the Sinnoh region. Paranoia has spread across the land as their proclamations of a "new age" combined with their ceaseless violence has begun to scare the population into submission- not helped by a sudden influx of foreign mon rampaging across the region without warning.

Amongst all this is a singular grunt.
Percival.
A teenage boy who was taken in by the cult years ago when it first started, the loyal underdog has risen to become a sort of secret disciple of Cyrus'.
As a result, he has been sent out on a secret mission...

Team Galactic needs to secure power over the region as absolutely as they can. And one of the primary pathways to doing such a thing is easy.
Simply become reigning Champion of every trainer in the Pokémon League.

Percival has been tasked with becoming that champion. He's set out with a party of three and a few goals in mind.
>Spread Team Galactic's influence by putting up leaflets and posters wherever he goes.
>Take the gym challenge and earn badges to legitimately play the system.
>Collect unusual Pokémon to assist in Team Galactic's research whenever possible.
>And, of course, become Champion.
There have also been reports of International Police spreading across the region to thwart Team Galactic's plans. That won't do. They'll have to be intercepted whenever possible, too...

With his motives set in stone and his party rather inconspicuous, Percival finds himself in prime position to start his undercover journey.

haven't done wattson yet, but i did realize that the game corner has flamethrower, which gyarados can also learn
i suspect that even though gyarados isn't a special attacker and he's got an adamant nature, further nerfing its potential, i think the 95 power will do more damage than rock smash's 20 power. at least i know i can outspeed the magneton with it
>Clawing your way out of the hole makes for a great story though.
it sure does. if i can somehow pull a win against wattson out of my ass here with a fucking flamethrower gyarados that'd be one for the books

Glad people are enjoying the misadventures of a Rocket grunt. I'm going to draw another Gen 2 style picture this weekend to go with a major upcoming battle. I'm also saving all of these posts in a doc to maybe go back and illustrate more if enough people like it.

>Reporter:"...may be the same suspect in the Celadon Gym arson. Among the stolen goods were a rare Technical Machine and several nuggets. Residents are encouraged to keep their houses locked after dark. Officer Jenny will be doing inspections to help with home security. Excavation work continues on Diglett's Cave..."

It's been 3 days since Rocket's battle in Cerulean against Misty, and rumors of the Team's resurgence are beginning to spread. Having made a quick getaway from Cerulean, Rocket and Meowth hid out in Mt. Moon until authorities called off their search. Rocket encountered several new Pokemon willing to join the team: Roxie the Geodudette, Smiley the Ass Wooper, and Tootie the Hoothoot. Roxie in particular seemed enthusiastic about helping the team get ready for battle ("Do you even lift bros?") and led them in several grinding sessions, evolving to Graveler in the process.
>"Alright boys, thanks to Roxie's workout tips, everyone's really comin' along."
>>>>>"My rock-hard forearms agree. Get it? Four arms!"
>"This broad's tough AND full of jokes, what a CATCH!"
>>"Hilarious, newbie. What say we put our new strength to da test?"

Just a quick update that isn't worth a new image. I've arrived in Lumiose City and have done everything except the cafe rival fight since i don't really feel confident enough to battle at the moment, so i need to grind a little. Also, Sycamore made me boot a team member for his Kanto starter. Kalos really doesn't want you to use actual Kalos Pokémon.

I would do the game you know best and work from there. If not that, Crystal is early enough in the series where you can cheese some of the fights, but without the jank of gen 1.

Percy had already been hiding out in Twinleaf Town for some time now, so he knew exactly where to go...

His trip to Oreburgh was shockingly uneventful. Normal trainers greeted him wherever he went- asked for battles, handed over prize money, and thought nothing of him. He even picked up a Poketch in Jubilife just to add to the guise...

What few new recruits he could find weren't sufficient for what he had in mind. Two mon who couldn't attack, another that got him mobbed by wildlife? No thank you. All three soon went to the dogs. The only exception was a Croagunk, stolen from a position at the desk of the Poketch company, who helped carry the team through the mines and got on well with its members...

...but he lost her to a feral Stunky who'd taken up residence on Route 207.

Despite this, Percival took on the gym leader with his team and won. He didn't let the loss of a promising member get to him. He could always contact HQ for another Croagunk, anyways.

I can understand randomizing your encounters, but randomizing trainers as well just feels way too chaotic. With randomized encounters only, you can at least still use what you have to come up with a strategy for a gym leader. Randomizing trainers as well makes it too luck-based, imo.

Not judging, though. That's a very painful run so far. I hope you can recover and make a comeback!

After 5 long days of living through the Pokemon equivalent of Birdemic I've finally finished something I've been wanting to do forever. With a level 25 Repel trick you have a roughly 95% chance to encounter Pidgeotto/Noctowl and 5% for Chansey on Route 13/14/15, and then you have a 2% chance to get a Lucky Egg from a Chansey. I'm probably well over odds for this (I mean I managed to find a shiny first and was probably close to finding another), but now I can FINALLY take down Kanto in style

I'm going through Scarlet using only the six dog lines. I'm close to end-end game now, as I've cleared all the Titans and Star bases. Just doing the E4 now. It's a bit more challenging than I was expecting, since movesets are fairly restricted and very similar, not to mention the Fire/Dark overlap, but I've found niches for each one. I did find that using Spirit as a last resort for Last Respects worked pretty well for most areas, and using Creampup as a Substitute Baton Passer after a few Work Ups helps quite a bit. I'm probably going to struggle with Larry here since the only two mons with anti-flying moves are Sunset and Fenrir, so I might tweak moves before taking him on.

After a bit of grinding and spending the rest of our Rare Candies, we've finally taken down Red! Perhaps not the most honorable option; leading with Titania holding a Leftovers against his Pikachu and setting up, but oh well, at least now it's done and we're ready to start Silver.

I struggled a little with who I should champ in the end; I really wanted to champ the shiny I found (and be rid of the Hoothoot line just the same), but that meant having to forego one of our established teammates. In the end it came down to Babybel or Niche, both Miltank and Gengar being good options to reuse in a later run, but it would just feel wrong to ditch Niche after all he's done for the team, so it ended up being Babybel

Well, there's no routes in the traditional sense, so you'll have to use your own markers, set mode is gone, and you're gonna need an optimal route map so your run doesn't get ended by a high level wild Pokémon. I'd say USUM are harder in general.

Top pic is after the blanca encounter before the 8th gym city, because her Stoutland fucked me over super hard. Second is my current team, and third is what I went into Victory road with.

I barely have a full team of 6 lads for the league which I just reached, and it's so fucking disappointing that I lost Excadrill grinding like a dumbass. In fact I lost Fraxure in the same way, and then beat the 8th gym with Cofagrigus taking down Iris' Fraxure and Druddigon and crippling Haxorus with will o wisp, without even having my 3 mons at the level cap out of sheer frustration towards my grinding losses. Honestly might probably be the way to go unless you're super underleveled, because I'd have so many more guys around, and yet my box is a fucking graveyard. Lego died to a OHKO crit earthquake from one of the trainers leading up to the league because they actualy have decent teams even if few pokemon.

Honestly my last hope was Excadrill, since he can actually set up. I can imagine getting past the E4 since I do kinda have some counters for each one, but N and especially Ghetsis feel like a distant dream, and I definitely have to grind.

N and Ghetsis are around Level 52-54, so... yeah.
You honestly have some decent picks for the E4 like Throh and Emolga. Losing Excadrill REALLY sucks but you can still probably slog through the E4; remember you can access your PC between the E4 and N and Ghetsis.

Restarting my Diamond run because it's been a long time. Rolled Turtwig as a starter, and quickly got a Starly encounter and a bunch of Bidoofs. (My rule for Dupes Clause is that I have two tries of an activated Dupes Clause before I'm forced to catch the third.) I did manage to get an Onix for my first raw encounter for Oreburgh Mine, so that balances the bad luck I suppose. Roark went super easy, Atlas swept his first two Pokemon with Razor Leaf, then Olympia tanked his Cranidos and took it out with Screech-boosted Rock Throws. Pretty trivial up to this point, onto Floaroma Town.

>>53698999
Tough losses, getting hella complacent is the biggest Nuzlocke killer. Your current team should be able to deal with the Elite Four, but Ghetsis will definitely be a big problem.
>>53696197
The game implies that you can do whatever you want in any order, but there is a set level for each "boss" (gyms, titans, Star bases). Look up online the order in which you should do stuff. The Team Star bases are actually pretty fucking hard, plan well around those. I think the finale that happens after you finish all three paths is part of the main story and I would consider it part of a Nuzlocke. Some people here don't count it, but I think it's worth finishing on a first playthrough. I actually loved the final boss, kind of salvaged the game for me.
>>53696189
I think Rare Candies are perfectly fine for a Nuzlocke as long as you've cleared all the level-cap relevant routes. Especially for the Red fight, which is such a ridiculous grind. Congrats on the win while super underleveled! Getting the dub with Parasect & Corsola is an extra challenge in its own right.

Sorry friends for not having been here in months. Didn't get many opportunities to play more emerald, but now I made it further. Tate & Liza were an absolute nightmare, they took out four of my Pokemon, including the MVPs Azumarill and Altaria, and the only ones who survived were Raditz the Bellossom (thankfully, not sure what I'd do against Juan without him) and Bathory the Mightyena.
I'm so mad at myself because this could have been easily avoided, except I completely forgot that Rock doesn't resist Dark so all this time I could have just had Alvida (Sharpedo) and Bathory eat them but instead my retarded ass thought
>you should just SURF them to death, surely the sunlight isnt that bad, right?
Except Altaria Nimbus, he died to an unlucky crit Psychic.
Currently levelgrinding some replacements, thankfully I had a second Sharpedo, Louie the Anorith evolved and CRONCH the Vibrava is about to as well, and Lavacake the Camerupt just learned Earthquake which is neat!

I'm a bit scared of the tag team fight with Steven to be honest.

Never played X before, decided to try it out with a Hardcore Nuzlocke on my first go. Also my first Hardcore Nuzlock. I had heard X and Y were super easy to run, so I decided "why not try both at the same time?"

At first I was cruising. Viola was a breeze: Busch used Rollout to make it too easy. All the rival battles have been trivial. I even started battling unnecessary Trainers in every route, something I never do.

Jesus Christ did I learn my lesson. Those two psychopaths with their matching dogs- hiding in the tall grass, waiting for some poor kid to stroll by, just to ruin their day- changed everything.

I decided to skip by them at first and go for an encounter, thinking I could gain some quick exp in the double battle. "Probably a Plusle and Minun again," I thought. If I hadn't caught Pabst, that was definitely a wipe. He just sat there hitting baby Fury Cutters while half his new friends were just demolished. That Super Potion was gut-wrenching.

Then it got worse. I learned my lesson, decided to not battle Trainers anymore unless I had to. And with every. single. step. in that tall grass I had a random encounter. I've spent a measly 20 minutes in Kalos Route 6, and it is now my least favorite route of all time.

Just finished the mansion stuff. Super excited to see how much worse it can get!

Now for the end of Operation Starfall!
>Vs Clavell
>Oranguru
I start out with Greensleeves(who I thought I had a Muscle Band, but was actually carrying a Miracle Seed. This will matter later)
Greensleeves hits it with Flower Trick, but gets Yawned at. U-Turn pick up the KO, and I send in Sceccu.
>Abomasnow
I have no idea why, but Snow Warning somehow failed? It might have been dusk, does that interfere with weather abilities this time?
Either way, I switch in Bonny Lass (wearing an Assault Vest) on a Wood Hammer.
Bitter Blade picks up the KO.
>Gyarados
I switch in Greensleeves again, and Stone Edge does quite a bit of damage. A singleThunder Punch makes short work of Gyarados, though.
>Polteageist
Greensleeves U-Turns into Bonny Lass(activating Weak Armor), and Will-O-Wisp powers her up thanks to Flash Fire.
I Terastalize Bonny to remove the Ghost weakness(and power up Fire moves even further).
Shadow Ball doesn't do much, and Bitter Blade KOs the Teapot.
>Tera Skeledirge
Two turns of Shadow Claws and Earth Powers reminds me just how bulky Ceruledge is on the Special side(Vest and all, but still).
I even toss in a Bitter Blade on the third turn to get back enough HP to not die to the third Earth Power. Skeledirge is now quite Weakened, and I decide to make use of it spamming Earth Power to get Greensleeves in safely.
I go for the Night Slash for the KO... but Skeledirge is tanky as hell, and just barely lives the unboosted Night Slash(Muscle Band would have done the job) and takes Greensleeves out with Torch Song.
Bonny comes back in for the final blow with Shadow Claw.
Clavell is defeated, but I lost my starter. Also, first death since Kofu.

X and Y are generally fairly easy (but fun!) Nuzlockes, but they have a surprising amount of sneaky stuff if you are going in blind(or haven't played in a while). Double Furfrou is one, but the wild Wobbuffets in one of the caves can just be an almost certain death for some mons if you aren't aware of them.
Honestly, X and Y are some of the games I feel gets the most out of being Nuzlocked. When I don't Nuzlocke, the extended time between the first and second gym aggravates me, but in a Nuzlocke, this section has so many routes and encounters that you can have a much more interesting squad than in most Lockes.

I agree. XY as Pokemon games are flawed imo, but they have all the makings for a good Nuzlocke.
It gives you a great variety early on, and then you only get very gradual access to new Pokemon due to the 1 route between towns structure.
The only issue is the difficulty level, where, like you say, there's a handful of random mooks and twists like Wobbuffets that cause trouble, but the actual boss fight are mostly pretty easy.
I definitely think once I get to that point, I'd want to see if there are any decent difficulty romhacks for the game. Not anything super hard, but just something to bring it more in line with older games.

Serebii fucken lied to me! I thought Grant would lead with Tyrunt, which I had game-planned around. Seeing Amaura at the start kinda sent my brain into panic mode. I tried to get a Sand Tomb off Medulla because I figured I could survive an Aurora Beam. Calcs tell me I was correct! Amaura used Take Down. Joe Merrick is a hack!

In all honesty though, I should've just switched to Hamm immediately and put the thing to sleep. I could've just reversed my strategy from there. I'm sorry, Medulla.

Other than that slip up, only two other near-catastrophes since the blood bath in Route 6. Sapporo nearly killed Pabst with a Pursuit while I was switching away (2 HP left from full health), and some monster immediately after that had an Axew sporting Dragon Rage. Leech Seed and the Protect TM (Which nearly the whole team has) is the only reason I survived that unscathed.

>>53701484
I should've read the context clues and assumed every trainer I encountered was a Dragon Rage Axew battle, considering we're nearly in the same spot in our runs. Now I'm both curious and terrified to know what "THAT battle" is.

As for why I put Tatsugiri on the team... I was lacking in speedy mons, and what mons I had in the box were either not suitable types, or massively underleveled(Arrokuda).
So I went with Tatsugiri, which I will make sure to train for speed.

The Jambo solorun continues, Whitney going down without much hassle due to a lucky Magnitude roll against her Clefairy and her Miltank sticking to Stomp and Rollout the entire fight. Decided to pop Alakazam early since it has access to the elemental punches in this gen, meaning it can act as our boltbeamer now without wasting one I could use later (like Lanturn or Lapras)

Is Treecko the worst Nuzlocke starter overall?
It loses hard to the midgame, it doesn't have a great league, and even Brawly gives it a scare.
At least Meganium and Serperior has the bulk to get through their rough patches.
Decidueye might be a contender because the latter part of the game slaughters it, but it probably puts in more work early on to make up for that.

post winona it's great thanks to leaf blade in the too much water section, and it outspeeds almost every other pokemon in hoenn (ties alakazam, slower than ninjask, swellow, crobat, and electrode; notably outspeeds salamence and metagross), it's got good coverage against the e4 thanks to dragon claw and brick break, it can potentially tankbust tate & liza's solrock/lunatone before they become problems, and if you're running a sunny day strat its solarbeam really fucking hurts, but between brawly and winona it really suffers because it doesn't hit hard enough while being too frail or simply has a type disadvantage without its coverage moves yet
personally when i get a treeko run i slap bullet seed on it with the logic that absorb's recovery won't matter if i'm already outspeeding and one or two hit ko'ing opponents, and bullet seed on average deals more damage than absorb, which can matter on things that are bulkier,
and until you get the actual coverage moves you want the HM strength is perfectly acceptable at 80 power 100 accuracy to deal with things grass stab can't

I honestly find Sceptile to do pretty bad against the league- even with the coverage. But it can help out.
I forgot to mention it before, but it also really dislikes the villain teams, particularly Magma. Aqua isn't as good for it as it seems, less than half their mons are actually water types, and a lot of them are poison type. They even got more poison with the remake, too.
Going back to Serperior as an example, it can find good spots to set up with Coil and win despite lacking coverage.
But yeah, I guess Sceptile might not be quite as bad as I think of it as.
Decidueye might be worse?

To say the next stretch of Percy's journey was "unlucky" would be a gross understatement.
Or, depending on your perspective, a gross overestimation of the grunt's attachment to his monsters.

The road to Eterna was paved with nothing but the blood of the bad guy's allies. Maus was lost to a child's Sunflora (a mistake so suspicious that even Percy's own Zubat questioned its tragedy), Leonid fell to an irritated wild Cradily's Acid, Bogglin fell to a Pupitar and Pinkie went poof right at the city's borders. Nickie and Mince soon followed suite.

That was an ENTIRE TEAM'S worth of Pokémon dead. All of their blood was on Percival's hands. And yet...
...the boy only seemed a little phased.
He hardly flinched at the first few deaths.
Then, he began to cry somewhat.

But even now, as he stood with less team members than he had urns, the Galactic grunt seemed so insanely focused that he hardly had any time to spare a thought for his fallen friends.

After meeting up with Mars at the Valley Windworks and providing her with secret instructions for Cyrus' plans, he'd swept through Eterna Forest to make his way to the Eternal City. One of many with Galactic's sacred headquarters headed there.

He, of course, had business here. Specimens to deliver to commander Jupiter- an Onix, a Weedle, and a Houndour- but there was another goal.

The gym had to come first...
-
seriously though, why the fuck am I getting so many encounters fit for an evil team grunt? Zubat, Croagunk, Drowzee, Rattata, Houndour. And all of my items have been pretty spook-based too. I appreciate the game trying to keep in-character, but isn't this a bit much?

God, yeah, I had to pry myself away from the Underground after I found the fossils. I'm realizing now that I didn't even mark down everything I found: I found a Thunderstone, too, and two revives (not one).
It's totally worth it to just lose yourself down there for hours, but it's really hard to come back when you've found what you're looking for lollll.

I send in Rhiannon(wearing a Covert Cloak).
Whiscash uses Muddy Water once, then for Earth Power thrice as Rhiannon sets up 3 Calm Minds, and finishes the fish of with Giga Drain
>Camerupt
It fires of a Flash Cannon, but than falls to Giga Drain.
>Donphan
It hits Rhiannon with a Poison Jab, and then survives Giga Drain thanks to Sturdy.
It uses another Jab, but after that, Rhiannon Passes the Baton to Big in Japan.
Big in Japan hits Donphan with a Surf.
>Dugtrio
It falls to Surf as Well.
>Tera Clodsire
A Terastal Draco Meteor Crit utterly destroys it.

>Vs Poppy
>Copperajah
Sceccu hits it with Earthquake, annihilating it.
>Corviknight
Corviknight goes for Iron Defense, and I go for Body Press, doing little damage. I was hoping to power up Body Press by getting hit, but this Corviknight might get almost unbeatable unless I try something else. Assault Vest prevents Sceccu from setting up himself.
I send in Bonny Lass(carrying Leftovers), and Corviknight boosts its defense still further.
I Terastalize Bonny, and Bitter Blade the Corviknight for slightly less than Half its HP. Thankfully, the Bird reduces its own health with Brave Bird, so the second Bitter Blade is enough.
>Bronzong
It falls to Bitter Blade.
>Magnezone
Bitter Blade reduces it to a single HP thanks to Sturdy, and it sets up a Light Screen. Bonny finishes it off with a Flame Charge.
>Tera Tinkaton
It falls to a single Bitter Blade.

Douce Dame eats a Solar Beam, but gets the Snowscape up Turn 2.
Terastalized Ice Spinner cleans out Tropius.

Intimidate is annoying, but Ice Spinner still oneshots.
>Altaria and Pom Pom Oricorio
Both fall to Ice Spinner.
>Tera Flamigo
It survives an Ice Spinner thanks to the earlier Intimidate, and fires off a Close Combat. Douce Dame weathers the hit and finishes off Larry with final Ice Spinner.

>Vs Hassel
In preparation for this fight, I replace Big in Japan's Surf with Dragon Pulse and swap Rhiannon's Giga Drain for Dazzling Gleam
>Noivern
Rhiannon(still with that Covert Cloak) sets up two Calm Minds as Noivern Super Fangs her. Air Slash does pretty small damage, and Rhiannon Baton Passes to Big in Japan(Expert Belt).
Big in Japan gets Super Fanged, but then Terastalizes and Dragon Pulses Noivern into oblivion.
>Flapple, Dragalge, Haxorus and Tera Baxcalibur
All of them fall to Dragon Pulse.

I decide to copy that trick, and Bonny starts to Bulk Up as well. The Goat Bulks up again.
Bonny Bulks Up further, and the goat tries to hit her with Zen Headbutt... but misses.
Next turn is a repeat, except Gogoat doesn't miss this time.
I proceed to Terastalize Bonny, who Flame Charges the goat, taking it out.
>Avalugg and Kingambit
Both fall to Bitter Blade.

Phantom Force takes it out in one blow. It did try to go for Liquidation, but obviously missed.

It hits Jock with Ice Spinner. I misclick and use Headlong Rush... which Quaquaval survives, to my great shock. At +3, I thought that would have KO'd, but nope.
Another Ice Spinner and Drain Punch later, the bird falls.

Lance and Champion were the only real tough fighst; Jason, Lanling and Astolfo were all brought down to single digits by Dragonite but managed to pull out the win.

On the Champion, had to switch between Astolfo and Gawain to avoid the Earthquakes from Rhydon and get a yawn off to put it to sleep to let Lanling come in safe to kill it, also had to stall out his Alakazam with Shiki until it ran out of Psychic and Future Sight PP allowing an easy kill as it likely would've 2HKO'd anything else I would try to switch in

Bucky and Gale also disarmed Jupiter's Skuntank pretty easily, which I was somewhat nervous about but it was honestly easier than Gardenia.

Once Eterna's gym had been bested and his Pokémon thoroughly tested, Percival continued forth. He headed to Galactic HQ to deliver the Houndour and Onix he'd promised Jupiter, then lifted a bike from Rydel's entrance and headed down south.

While riding, the team's disharmony began to poke at Percival's heart. The grunt had long since moved past seeing Pokémon as companions instead of the tools they were, but now he was watching two of his members arguing like his parents right in front of him. It was becoming hard to ignore.

Eventually, once the fighting reached a fever-pitch after the Houndour's donation, Percival felt the need to step in. He chastised his Metang for being so hostile towards his Crobat especially, allowing the Crobat to roost atop him to stay away from the Metang, and allowed his Jolteon to walk beside him instead of behind for similar reasons. It was a miracle that his two new team members weren't as badly-affected as his better ones.

Next up was supposed to be Veilstone City- but Cyrus had given Percival special instructions.
If he beat Hearthome's gym first, he would surely be seen as a fiercer trainer than most. Winning at the hardest gym in the league for his third badge? It'd be a great way to show off his power.

And so, the grunt continued on his journey...

Wayward Cave is one encounter for the whole cave, same with Oreburgh Gate. Pinwheel is a special case because inside and outside have almost entirely different encounters, to the point where it should have just been split into separately-named areas. To get Gible you'll have to be lucky or try to clear out Zubat/Geodude/Bronzor/Onix with dupes clause before entering.

THIS IS THE THIRD FUCKING TIME I'VE HAD TO REBUILD MY ENTIRE DAMN TEAM DUE TO TERRIBLE LUCK AND UTTER FUCKING BULLSHIT
I'M OUTRIGHT STRATEGIZING BY NOW AND I'M STILL LOSING ENTIRE TEAMS TO RANDOM BULLSHIT
I SET RANDOM STRENGTH AND MY OPPONENTS AREN'T EVEN DIFFICULT
WHY IS IT THAT IN EVERY OTHER RUN MY STARTER DIES ALMOST IMMEDIATELY BUT IN THIS ONE SHE'S THE ONLY ONE ALLOWED TO LIVE
WHY DID I THINK RANDOMIZERS WERE A GOOD IDEA

First ever run, just wiped to Hugh's piece of shit SIMIPOUR of all things at the end of victory road, and I'm extremely fucking mad.

Special mention to Peep the Audino who saved the run on multiple occasions. I'll never bad-mouth the little pink fuckers again.
