Got to Pastoria City, and I was very excited to find that Yanma was my encounter for the Great Marsh. Yanmega is in my top 10 favorite Pokemon, so I was really excited to use it.

Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be. Wake did an insane amount of damage, and out-damaged me big time. He wiped Buzzkill, Baldur, and Surfup. We almost lost everyone, but luckily Belle clutched it out at the very end. Time to rebuild, thinking about using Meditite, Pikachu, and Quagsire.

We finished off Diamond, but it was a bit of a doozy. Melon Cup was killed almost immediately because Aaron's almost 10 levels lower, no EV Heracross outsped Melon Cup (who is fully EV trained in Speed). Absolute bullshit of the highest fucking caliber, but that's how the dice fall sometimes. Thankfully Pangea was able to finish the nerd off without much trouble.
Bertha was an absolute joke, soloed by Tweece who oneshot everything with Choice Specs Giga Drain.
Flint was likewise soloed by Pangea, something was up with his AI because he kept making really stupid decisions, but oh well
Lucian was a Milly The Willy-Nilly sweep, turns out Sucker Punch is really good
Cynthia was...something. It could've gone MUCH worse, but it was pretty bad even then. Tried setting up with some X items on her Spiritomb with Milly, Embargo stopped us pretty fast. Took out the Spiritomb, but Milotic turned out to be too bulky, killing Milly. Tweece takes out Milotic, she sends out Lucario. I know it has Psychic, but I chance going for a Stun Spore because I fear Pangea would be slower than it. For some reason it goes for Aura Sphere, which gives us a free paralysis on it. Pangea comes in, takes a Psychic and Earthquakes. Cynthia sends out her own Roserade, easily eaten up by Pimbus Mumbleton. Gastrodon is Giga Drained into oblivion by Tweece, in comes Garchomp. With Pangea weakened and the rest of the team in less than stellar shape, I worry that this monster might sweep. I decide that I just have to hope that Tweece can tank a hit, Garchomp goes for Earthquake...he survives on 1HP. Hidden Power Ice lands...

...but it just barely doesn't do enough, Garchomp healing out of potion range with its berry. The logical play would be to sack Tweece for a clean switch-in, but I can't, not my boy, not my special lad who's been with me since the beginning. I switch into Chance, expecting to be killed, but Garchomp goes for Giga Impact and barely does half. Chance outspeeds (somehow) and manages to kill the beast with Megahorn. Not the cleanest league I've had, but I'm honestly just glad I made it through, now I can breathe easy as we do it all again in Pearl, hopefully less rough deaths in this one (please)

>>54424426
Oh man, I see I'm not the only one getting fucked by Sinnoh today. Sucks to lose Yanmega that fast, hate when you get that mon you've been wanting to use and the game just says "Yoink". At least you've got good backups, Meditite especially

Good morning /Nuz/!

Meepo handled Chuck last night easily, using sleep powder, leech seed and tackles.

Jasmine got mobbed by Fire Lily and Kari.

Pryce was.. Pryce. Photon and Kari.

Claire and her entire team was swept by Kari with her new Ice Punch. Thank you Goldenrod Department store.

Meepo got boxed (for now, in priority queue if I lose someone) for the Extreme Speed Dratini.

Elite 4 time

>Will

Photon fried his first Xatu, and Fire Lily came out to torch his Exeggutor! Photon came back out for Slowbro, and Fire Lily tagged in for Jynx. Once more they swapped places so Photon can take out the last Xatu.

>Koga

Fire Lily took out Forretress, with Kari taking out the rest with some well placed Psychics!

>Bruno

Kari Demolished him. Why do you even still have a Onix on your team??

>Karen

Varissa took out Umbreon in two earthquakes, with Fire Lily swapping in for Vileplume. Lena handled Gengar without problems. Photon shocked Murkrow into submission, and Lena took out Houndoom!

>Lance

Gyarados is handled by Photon nicely, the silly snek even set up a rain dance. The first Dragonite goes down to Kari's Ice punch. The second gets her low and fully paralyzes her with Thunder, so I switch out to Varissa and shove rocks in it's face. Varissa goes down to the next Dragonite's Blizzard. Photon comes out and we swap thunder waves, and two thunders takes out the dragon.

I use Lena for Charizard and he crit hyperbeams her and takes her out. Amethyst comes out for the first time and crit waterfalls Charizard in a fit of rage. She then eats a hyperbeam from Aerodactyl and takes him out in two waterfalls.

Elite 4 is done, but the losses hurt. We rebuild and go to Kanto now..

Lena and Varissa were some of our first catches.

Those dragonites are so trolly cause you never know which one you've got in front of you. Can it hit my ground type? Let's find out!
Luckily you can catch a good rock/ground replacement in KANTOOOOO or Mt. Silver. In fact you can literally catch an onix in mt silver at like level 48 and then make it a steelix and it'll fuck Red up without much training.

Yea, I'm pretty upset. Varissa did her best protecting Kari. Took one out with her at least.

Lena just.. got so shafted. Kari was low and para'd, Varissa was gone, some Lena was going to slash it. Well. Crit hyperbeam to the face.

At least Amethyst came in to clean up. So for now, Meepo is coming out of retirement, and they get mega drain soon so they can stop tackling everything. Still gonna sleep + leech everything as they do.

Probably gonna grind up my zubat too.

Funny you mention Onix, it was my victory road catch but Amethyst said NO, NO ROCK SNAKES and nuked it from orbit.

Wing Attack puts it down in the red, and it retaliates with Razor Leaf.
Another Super Potion, another Wing Attack.
Wing Attack again, Turtwig works up, then finally goes down to a final Wing Attack.

Roserade uses Stun Spore, then falls to Wing Attack.

I end up fucking up thanks to my language settings here- I'm learning Italian, so I'm playing in italian to train. I've put "Comete" on my moveset thinking it was Covet, when it is actually Swift. I look away from the screen to take a sip of my tea and miss the animation. So at this point, I think I have stolen Skuntank's berry.
>Back to the battle
I use Swift(Comete) as Skuntank gets fully paralyzed.
Secret uses Spark, then gets poisoned by Poison Gas. I notice that Secret is doing less than impressive damage, so I switch out to avoid taking too much poison damage.
I send in SadieHawkins on a Flamethrower.
A Wing Attack causes Skuntank to eats its Sitrus Berry, to my surprise. It then gets paralyzed.
Another Wing Attack puts it back at low health, and Flamethrower causes SadieHawkins to eat her Oran.
I go for Wing Attack because based on the damage the previous Wing Attacks did, this seems like a sure kill. But it rolls low and leaves Skuntank alive on a sliver, allowing it to take SadieHawkins out with Flamethrower.
I send in Secret to finish the Skuntank off with Spark.

Starmie comes out, we sleep it, seed it, giga drain it. It's at low hp. STARMIE WAKES UP... And then kills Meepo with Ice Beam. Fuck. He was such a happy soul.

Photon avenges their brother with Thunder, with Kari coming out to handle Quagsire by crushing it's brain with Psychic.

Meepo was too pure for this world, flying around dropping spores and Leech seed, with Leftovers to be extra annoying.

I'm not sure who I'm raising to replace, and Zaro is still in training.

We defeated daddy, but at what cost?
Disaster struck and Spinda in the confusion room was able to destroy my breloom with focus punch due to confusion hax. RIP
Then I go ahead and get my bird killed against Norman's Vigoroth. This is looking sketchy.
I sack magikarp (no regrets) to safely get in marshtomp on slaking. I time the dig successfully and it does FUCK ALL. About halfway down his HP bar (5 or so digs) HE USES COUNTER for half my health!!! Fuuuuuuuuuu-
Then he never uses counter again and with my leppa berry I have enough digs to kill the big fuck even with a hyper potion.
Now Linoone. He sets up the drum, I chip him with strength and he's in the red! I sack Illumise, sorry lass. My rock goes into the red from headbutt.....NO FLINCH. Confusion kills him. I win.
We will build back better. I've gotten some nice catches between the gym and now. Hoping for that Absol on route 120 also, I think that would be pretty powerful to round out my team.

And thus, the adventure continues, for the final time.

The choice was made, and based on the advice of my peers, Flow realized that she would be a liability. She got two badges to her name, and she's still got her health! And life! So she'll watch from the sidelines.

Garn, the impish Torterra captain and witness to this journey.
Lura, the brave Crobat, blessed by ice, and Garn's oldest comrade.
Mukrow, the formerly jolly Honchkrow who holds the hopes and dreams of two.
Miaka, the sassy Skuntank who'll become champion by claw and flame.
Inaj, the relaxed Floatzel, stepping out of Qiln's depths, and ready to eat some face.
Nika, the naive Clefable, with light clay in hand, ready to shield her teammates.

A little melodramatic? Maybe. But it can't all just be numbers and stated facts. Anywho, the Elite 4:

Aaron:
A-A-ron has a Dustox. Precious.
Lura 2HKOs with Air Slash.
Immediately sends in Drapion. Garn tags Lura out (despite her going WTF?!), tanks a Cross Poison and an Ice Fang, but 2HKOs with Earthquake. Get that former-ass-bug outta here.
Beautifly tries a Shadow Ball. Nika eats that superstition, fires an Ice Beam, then a Flamethrower. Wondered if this was training mode.
Lura comes in on Heracross, shrugs off that Close Combat, tells it that it should feel bad before one-shotting with Air Slash. Bug feels bad.
Vespiquen sashays in, tries to set up, but gets Hazed by Mukrow, and, favoring physical attacks over special attacks, wastes the hive with Aerial Aces.

>Red

Pikachu and Photon face down. Pikachu gets a burn from Tri-Attack, and Red full restores it when it gets low. Shame, because Photon crits it out of existance after.

It's next Psychic against Psychic, Kari facing down his Espeon. Two shadowballs cement her as the stronger of the two.

Snorlax is next, and I send out Zaro. He spits out a Toxic while Snorlax sets up Amnesia, and we begin to use Fly to stall out and avoid damage.

Our first Fly is a crit! Snorlax is in the orange. We try to capitalize with a Wing Attack. He barely lives and takes a snooze. Meanwhile our leftovers is helping us recover from a earlier body slam.

We re-poison Snorlax and risk a wing attack while he's in the red- he barely survives, and Snorlax takes out Zaro.

Amethyst comes out, and she's *pissed*. An Extremespeed for good measure finishes off the hulking beast.

Sadly, Photon gets outsped by Blastoise and gets surf critted to death.

Kari comes out swinging with Psychic, eating another crit surf and tanking another two as she takes down the turtoise.

Next is Venusaur, and Fire Lily toasts him with her new Flamethrower.

Kari swamps Charizard, and Red is defeated.

We lost some good pokemon along the way, but Crystal is done.

On the way to training for the next leg of the journey and exploring the new Surf areas, Mirelurk (our new Quagsire) got crit by a trainer's Girafarig. Welp, at least I didn't spend any resources on them. I was in the process of training up our Buizel (now Floatzel) before I remembered I could catch a Barboach in Ravaged Path, which we did manage to encounter. So, rounding out our new teammates are Axe the Raichu, Lhasa the Medicham (we finally evolved one in Sinnoh!), and Tectonix the Whiscash. Also, Gabriel evolved! Shame it's not a Fairy yet, but I'm quite excited to use Togetic.

Oh yeah, and Byron was a joke. Look at my team, what did you think would happen?

>>54426544
>>54426655
Aye, congrats on the win! Shame about the losses, but at least Photon gets to retire in Gen IX. And he gets to evolve!
>>54426512
Congrats on the win! Especially preserving the full team through the Elite Four! One of the coolest Diamond teams I've seen around here. Pearl up next?
>>54426095
Yup, that sounds like a Norman fight for sure. They're always either a pushover or you near-wipe (if not wipe). Good clutch though, and you've got a nice rebuild!
>>54425159
Language gap is a certified killer, jesus. Props for trying to learn a language through Nuzlocking though, you're braver than me! At least the loss is one of two Staravias though.
>>54424516
Congrats on another win! Lots of them today it seems. Tough losses to Aaron and the Milotic (Heracross is deceptively fast and Rampardos is deceptively slow), but good clutch! You inspired me with Whiscash, so I'm running him too!

Seeing these threads reminded me of the one Nuzlocke I did a long time ago. I’m thinking I may try it again with a new game. Would you guys say it’s a bad idea to do a Nuzlocke as your first playthrough of a game? Is it better to do a normal playthrough first so you can get the vanilla experience before doing any challenge runs?

Diamond's training in Victory Road has come to an end. Earth, with Aquarius' help, has mastered the art of swinging the tree on his shell as a weapon. Shaula and Pluto have returned from the mountaintops, battered and battle-ready. The Ghost Bros have floated out of the depths of the caves, where Gravastar learned to cool his fists to absolute zero. Atop the mighty waterfall before the League's castle, Pearl challenges Diamond to a final showdown.

Hubble sets up a Sub against Staraptor, who does meager damage with Aerial Ace. Hubble zaps the bird with T-bolt.

Floatzel is next and outspeeds with Crunch, destroying the Sub but also succumbing to T-bolt.

Roserade is third and Hubble swaps for Pluto on a Shadow Ball prediction, however it went and landed a GrassWhistle instead. Roserade jabs the sleeping Pluto, who luckily wakes up on the following turn to OHKO with Flamethrower.

Heracross enters, so Hubble returns to the fight and tanks a Rock Slide instead of the expected CC. Hubble goes for an Air Slash but MISSES, and Hera lands a Night Slash like it's a Black Flash from Jujutsu Kaisen. Hubble is already in the yellow at this point, so I feared its impending death, but it SURVIVES ON 4 HP. Hubble rises and launches an Air Slash that cuts up Heracross instantly.

Hubble escapes as Infernape enters, the perfect opponent for Shaula who tanks an Aerial Ace and Flamethrower before burying the monkey with Earthquake.

All that leaves is Snorlax, who Earth prepares to brawl. Earth chips away with Giga Drain and Earthquake while Snorlax spams Body Slam, until Earth has suffered enough damage for Gravastar to take over. Snorlax rests to recover from the previous fight, so Grav begins to ORA ORA ORA with Ice Punch. After 3 punches, Snorlax awakens only to rest again, and so the pattern of 3 Ice Punches followed by Rest continues two more times. On the 3rd rotation, Grav finally lands a critical hit on his 2nd punch, so the sleeping punching bag goes down to the 3rd punch.

Ended up doing what I do far to often; went into the Gardenia woefully unprepared with nothing but sheer nerve on my side. Thankfully things ended up going much better than they could've. La Dame De La Toure Délaissé ended up taking out her Cherubi, HP Fire is good, but not good enough to avoid getting hit by a Leech Seed in the process. She also takes out the Turtwig, but at this point she's been considerably weakened, meaning that she's only able to fire off one HP Fire against Roserade before switching is necessary. What follows is a desperate carousel between Smash Or Pass and Zootopia, thankfully Smash Or Pass' bulk is enough to get us the victory despite Tackle being laughably weak.

Yeah,. I figured that even with the base speed difference, the fact that I was EV trained and he wasn't the almost 10 levels of difference, but apparently we were just short a few points. And yeah, that's why I love using less than stellar mons, when I'm actually able to carry them to victory like that

I messed up something terrible during training, and lost two team members for my hubris.

At the very least, we did take out Brawly. Makuhita's Vital Throw dropped Vars from 100% to 17 hp, and his Sitrus berry made it a close call on damage roll for the kill next turn.

We're headed off to Slateport though.

I'm glad I got to keep them alive--that ragtag cadre of bums and bubbehs (again, the near-death of Lura on the Medicham was almost hair-grabbing in itself.)

And yes... Pearl time!

The basic team of 6 already assembled, and now it is time to be on our way to Oreburgh City.

Though, this little fiasco--I decided to toss the Hidden Power onto my Shinx for some funsies, as I didn't anticipate I would catch anything like an Abra early on. I instinctively got lucky with an Abra catch, and realized, to my horror, that I effectively made my Abra useless for the time being.

...Ah well, we'll see how it goes.

Another trial down, this time with 100% less death. Blondiggity the Dugtrio did most of the heavy lifting here, tussling with the Totem Togedemaru and its friend Skarmory until she was slapped down to 2 HP. At that point, Bleatmania the Ampharos came in and finished off the trial with Hidden Power (Ground) and Shock Wave.

Congratulations to everyone whose finished their runs recently!

I built back better and slaughtered Winona with my new Manectric and ol' reliable Solrock.
I'm feeling very confident about this team. Thank my lucky stars the game gives you multiple chances at manectric and swellow.
I checked my manectric in pkmn box using my DS lite and R4 card for shits n gigs and not only is he modest but he has 31 IVs in special attack. Holy shit! Jackpot.
I considered tentacruel, but overall I just can't do without a flyer on my team, it would be way too annoying.

Yeah honestly timid sucks a bit but its not the end of the world. Guts+facade will still fuck everything up.
I fucking despise fighting wilds in route 110. Static and poison fucking everywhere, its utter cancer.
At least you might be able to get manectric or magneton later (118 & new mauville). They're both phenomenal. I would use gulpin too he seems badass. And yes solrock is pretty good honestly. He has been so fucking clutch.
I actually used Absol with swords dance and strength to go through Winona until she sent out skarmory and then I went manectric and OHKO'd it. Now altaria comes out and I go solrock. She starts dragon dancing. I start trying to kill it with rock throw. It gets 4 dragon dances as it heals and misses out on the 2HKO with rock throw a few times.
Now I take like 70% from aerial ace but I'm able to knock it out with the rock throw, didn't miss that time. Super clutch in both the Norman and Winona battles. I swear the AI cheats and knows I was swapping out into a levitate mon.
I think lunatone would be considerably worse though early on, much worse attack.

With Watson, I star out with Anguiris, slapping down some Soft Sand powered Mud-slap.

We hit twice, then Voltorb MISSES his Selfdestruct due to being -2 Accuracy.

I switch to Gullet as Electrike comes out, and start setting up Amnesia after a Yawn.

Electrike wakes up and Howls as we sludge him. I forgot about Magneton, so I have to abandon my buffs.

We switch into Glitter, Protect against a Thunderwave, and start popping Psybeams, hoping for a confusion. We get Paralyzed, and get fully para'd as he starts spamming Sonicboom.

He then uses Supersonic, which hits, for awful Parafusion strats. After a bit of contemplation, I send out Basil, who eats a not very effective Shock Wave.

He goes for Thunder Wave and Supersonic again, but we manage to start Absorbing. It's small damage, but I don't have a good answer for Magneton, and we can chip him down.

We get hit by Sonicboom down into the red. We switch back to Glitter. Half our team is paralyzed at this point, which is *infuriating*.

I pop a X-Special while dodging a supersonic, and we start blasting again. We get fully Paralyzed, but Magneton is down to yellow. I'm dreading the inevitable super potion on this thing.

Another Psybeam and he fully heals his Magneton with Super Potion. Fuck.jpg

I start alternating Protect and Psybeam in a hopes to run him out of Shockwaves, so I can more safely bring in other pokemon.

We FINALLY get confusion to proc, and he hurts himself in confusion to give us more breathing room. I'm sweating and hating this stupid thing and not having a good way to deal with it, as my poor Aron would get DUNKED by its Shock Wave.

We get fully para'd next turn, but clearly it's out of Shockwaves- it's spamming sonic boom now. Another full para, but Magneton hurts itself.

Glitter goes for a Moonlight, and gets full para'd for the 3rd turn in a row. We only had a few potions at the start of the fight, and I use my last one. Magneton snaps out of confusion.. Oh, that's a shockwave.

By now, I'm pissed. I'm having bad luck with full para, but at least he's missing the occasional sonic boom. Thank fuck Glitter has Moonlight, but we're running out of those.

I'm getting real sick of all of his supersonics managing to hit. We hurt ourself in confusion two rounds in a row, and he misses a sonic boom.

We snap out of confusion while in the red, but we're fully paralyzed. I manage to get out a protect to stall another turn, and i have a hard decision to make.

I make the hard decision to sack glitter and get in someone safely. He misses Sonicboom. He's at low health again. Low in the red. I go in hoping for another miss, and we get it! But we're paralyzed.

Another miss, and we take him out. Glitter LIVES.

He stays asleep for all three amnesia, and we go to town with Sludge!

He stays sleep for the first one, and we're doing roughly 1/4th of his health.

he wakes for the next one and.. howls again. Our Sludge poisons, but he ears a Sitrus berry to recover a big chunk of health.

Manectric keeps using Howl.. I didn't even need to pop Encore, as tempting as it was.

Finished up the E4 last night, here's how it went:

>Aaron
Shaula kicks things off with a Rock Incense-boosted Rock Slide to OHKO Yanmega.
The ace Drapion enters the battle early and smacks Shaula with an Ice Fang, which she survives and follows up with an EQ that triggers Drapion's Sitrus Berry. Gravastar switches in as Drapion misses 1 Ice Fang and hits another. Grav scorches Drapion and protects himself from more Ice Fangs as Drapion burns. Grav counters with an Ice Punch that brings Drapion down enough to die from its burns.
Pluto swaps into Scizor's Night Slash and OHKOs with Flamethrower.
Hubble phases through Heracross' Close Combat and OHKOs with Air Slash, then cleans up Vespiquen with a Thunderbolt.

>Bertha
Earth crushes Whiscash with Wood Hammer, then Aquarius floods the rest of Bertha's team with Surf.

>Flint
Aquarius continues his OHKO streak with Houndoom.
Infernape enters with the intent to Thunder Punch, so Shaula blocks the strike and tanks a Flare Blitz before OHKO'ing with EQ. Shaula then proceeds to OHKO the rest of Flint's team with EQ.

>Lucian (actual challenge)
Pluto blasts Mr. Mime with Dark Pulse, but the clown survives on basically 1 HP and sets up Light Screen. After healing, it takes 2 more pulses to kill Mime.
The ace Gallade sneaks behind Pluto with a Drain Punch charged, but Grav rises out of Pluto's shadow to grab Gallade's arm. Gallade strikes Grav with a crit Psycho Cut, taking him down to 22 HP, but Grav manages to burn Gallade and chip away some of its health before escaping. Hubble rushes into action and shirks off a Leaf Blade, launches a Shadow Ball that triggers Sitrus, survives a Psycho Cut and finishes off Gallade with Shadow Ball.
Pluto returns to block Espeon's Shadow Ball, and the two beam clash with Dark Pulse and Signal Beam. Another Signal Beam brings Pluto down to 9 HP, but he wins the bout with another pulse. (1)

>Lucian (continued)
Bronzong appears and launches an EQ, but Shaula swings Pluto out and does little damage with Night Slash. Bronzong uses the opportunity to set up Calm Mind, while Shaula struggles to chip away at the bell. Bronzong hits Shaula hard with Psychic, leaving Diamond with few options to best handle Bronzong's bulk.
The battered Pluto steps up to defend Shaula, rendering Bronzong's Psychic ineffective. Pluto musters up the firepower to incinerate Bronzong with a Fire Blast.
Alakazam is sent out last, while Diamond is left with Earth and Aquarius as the only two who can survive any hits. Earth chooses to shield the team from an Energy Ball and Psychic, then surprisingly OHKOs Alakazam with a non-STAB Crunch. That thing's Defense is terrible after all.

Diamond moves forward to the final room in the League and sends out his entire team to face Cynthia in a full battle.

>Spiritomb
Pluto and the cursed keystone trade Dark Pulses, with Pluto's doing over half damage, allowing him to kill Spiritomb with another pulse.

>Milotic
Hubble switches into a Surf and follows up with Thunderbolt, which fails to kill and allows Cynthia to heal. This caused the perfect opportunity for Hubble to strike Milotic twice with Thunderbolt for the KO.

>Lucario
Predicting Shadow Ball, Earth walls with his high Special Defense. After tanking an Aura Sphere, Earth OHKOs with EQ.

>Togekiss
With the obvious Air Slash incoming and Hubble unable to keep up, Gravastar is instead forced into action. Grav trolls Togekiss with Protect and Pressure to lower Air Slash's PP and manages to land an Ice Punch before tagging out to Aquarius, who shrugs off a Water Pulse. Predicting Shock Wave this time, Aquarius tags in Shaula, who lands a critical Rock Slide to crush Togekiss.

>Garchomp
Garchomp immediately hits hard with Dragon Rush while Shaula takes a quarter out of its health with EQ. The next Dragon Rush misses as another EQ triggers Chomp's Sitrus Berry back to just over half HP. Praying for another missed Dragon Rush, Aquarius gambles with his life to step back in, only to take the full brunt of a Rush. Aquarius struggles to his feet and outspeeds, freezing Garchomp with Ice Beam.

>Roserade
Pluto returns to serve as the beginning and end to this battle, expecting a Grass move that would've been meant for Aquarius, but for some reason the stupid flower lady used Extrasensory, so no damage on the switch there... Pluto then unleashes a Fire Blast to toast Roserade, ending in Diamond's absolute victory.

Alright, I finally decided to try my second-ever Nuzlocke. I started playing Heartgold... and lost my only Pokemon (my starter) in the first rival battle due to a crit Scratch.
My run is over before it even began...
I'm just gonna ignore that and keep playing, since this is way too early to get a game over. Hope that's not considered taboo around here.

Grass-only run in White.
Serperior, Ferrothorn, Sawsbuck, Leavanny, Amoongus, and Maractus (Swapped out for Virizion)
I'm a lot more casual than a lot of people here, I'd bet, but it was basically just get to the credits using just a monotype team, with a Panpour and Pidove for HMs when needed.
A few hurdles, mainly Burg's gym where I just had to overwhelm with my own Leavanny, Skyla's gym, where I had to use Ferroseed's neutrality to avoid insane damage, and Reshiram, where I had to force it to run out of Fusion Flares then set up Virizion Swords Dance.
Overall, not too hard, but not that easy either.

(Adding an epilogue after leaving earlier)
After Cynthia concedes defeat, Diamond ascends the elevator to the Hall of Fame. Stopping in the hall, Pluto struts past and nods his head at Dia with respect for the two accomplishing their goals. Aquarius runs up to Dia next and grabs his hands, the two joyfully dancing. Hubble floats up to Dia with a huge grin and lovingly zaps its buddy before moving on. Shaula flies next to Dia's other side and smirks, as Gravastar shoots past them to the end of the hall. Earth slowly approaches Dia from behind and smiles, offering to carry Dia one last time. Dia and the team gather in the trophy room to meet with Rowan and Cynthia, and the journey officially ends.

On the way back to Twinleaf Town, Pluto departs to rejoin his pack on Route 214, bidding farewell to Dia and ending his rivalry with Shaula on good terms. Shaula attempts to leave at Route 206 to terrorize cyclists again, but Aquarius manages to convince her to stick around. Gravastar vanished at some point, but secretly lurks in Hubble's shadow to help whenever he is needed. In Sandgem Town, Rowan requests to continue studying Hubble, which results in Hubble frying all of his lab equipment. Diamond, Earth, Aquarius, and Shaula eventually arrive back home where they enjoy a well deserved rest.

MVP of the run is shared between Hubble and Aquarius. Hubble due to consistently being an incredible pivot with great coverage and hard-hitting special attacks, and having an instrumental role in the final Cyrus fight. Aquarius due to sweeping Fantina, Byron, and Bertha, and besting Garchomp. Shaula and Pluto were also heavily considered, but they didn't really get to shine until Mt Coronet and beyond.

Gen 4 has finally come to an end and I'm really looking forward to playing through Unova 4 times in a row.

Beat Candice. Most of the fight went well, I had Togekiss on the field by the time her Froslass was on the field (pivoted out to Gabriel because I baited the Wood Hammer with Whiscash). I didn't feel good about switching out so I tried to land the Fire Blast; I missed, and one Blizzard later Gabriel was dead. I tried to set up Thunder Wave with Axe, but I underestimated Froslass' speed and got outsped, and he died. Somehow Espeon outsped when Raichu didn't, and I managed to kill it with a Shadow Ball. We won, but down two friends, one a long-time asset.

Fiance loves ghosts, so as soon as they realized I got it as an encounter, it was mandatory I run him. Fake out and Nightshade make for very nice pokemon catching, and a lot of double battles I run him alongside Samba for double fake out.

Rubius and Zanesh took out the weaker mons, and Kimiko came out and two shot Altaria, easy win all around. I'm expecting Tate and Liza to fall between Rubius and Kimiko next.

Havoc is super frail, so I'm taking no chances and training him on EXP. SHARE until he becomes a Flygon.

I'll probably eventually drop Kuzma for Pele fully, I really love the idea of using Torkoal. I need more diversity anyhow. I'll probably end up pulling Njord in and out of the PC for fly and using just Amphitrite for my water type.

Suggestions on anything in my boxes to replace 2 with?

Flannery was pretty easy though, Njord just pooped on their gym.

RIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP BOZOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

We beat Cyrus! Finally, the number one op is down. It wasn't an easy fight though. He opens with Houndoom, and luckily he does Will-O-Wisp this time; I gave Tectonix a Rawst Berry, and he responds with an Earthquake, OHKOing it. He sends out Gyarados, and I pivot over to Gaben. Gyarados deals a good chunk of damage with a Waterfall, but a Thunderbolt kills it. Then comes Honchkrow, who's somehow bulky enough to survive a Thunderbolt. He gets good damage on Gaben, who still returns the kill the next turn. Out comes the dreaded Weavile, who I hope Gaben can tank. Unfortunately, he cannot, and Gaben falls. I switch over to Belle, which might seem ridiculous, but I feel like Tectonix needs some health for the Crobat and can't take a hit from the Weavile without risking a wipe, I'm not super confident in Lhasa, and I hope with speed EVs, Roserade can outspeed. Of course though, it can't, and Belle falls. I switch to Lhasa, which I should've done initially, because Lhasa tanks the Ice Punch and immediately brings down the Weavile. Out comes the Crobat, and I decide to at least try and kill it with Lhasa on the field rather than risk the switch-in. He uses Air Slash and... Lhasa lives with literal 2 HP. Zen Headbutt finishes the fight. Lhasa then punts Cyrus into the depths of the Distortion World, sending our biggest foe in this Autismlocke straight to hell.

Oh yeah, speaking of hell, we caught Satan in a Dusk Ball, so that's cool. Not gonna use Giratina, but hey, maybe I should to spite this game. We also got some shit luck with our last few encounters, because we missed out on a catch in Sendoff Spring (nothing but Gravelers) and instead of a Magnemite, Electabuzz, or even a Staravia, we get a Wingull. Hopefully our now fully Ship of Theseus'd team can bring it home.

Damn, sorry about that previous run. The Twins are notorious run killers. Unless you're not doing a full series Autismlocke, I don't really think subbing out Kuzma is the move. I've found Torkoal to be underwhelming in my experience, and you may as well save it for future games where Drought in on the table. On the bright side, this is a good looking team! And your box also has some nice encounters in it too.

Kuzma cleared up the way for Njord to abuse Protect every other turn to take out Slaking without being hit. Kek Traunt.

>Wynona

Amaterasu switched into a Earthquake, and buried her altaria in rocks. Minerva came out and Ice Beamed Tropius, and Tempestra took out the rest of her team.

We planted some Leppas and Sitrus berries at the berry master's house after stripping his fields. (Patched Emerald rom fixes the clock issue)

Right now we're heading towards Lily Cove. Need to get Kuzma to evolve. Bhimal is just sitting there eating everyone's exp and being fat. Took it away once he evolved so he gets to sit there while everyone else catches up.

After that I'll probably spend another bit gambling, my team can eat tms like no one's business and I'm here for it.

Elite Four time. Barry wasn't a particularly interesting fight, so I'll skip it.

>Aaron
I set up rocks with Wormadonna, then switch out to Stern to kill the Yanmega with Thunderbolt (after a few misses (fuck Double Team)). Stern also kills the Scizor. Heracross comes out, and I switch to Mr. Morale. The Stone Edge misses, and I kill Heracross with Fly. Ice Beam and down goes Vespiqueen, then a switch to Tectonix for the EQ kill for Drapion.

>Bertha
Easiest fight by far. A Leaf Storm kills off her Whiscash, then a switch to Tectonix lets me kill the rest of her team with Surf.

>Flint
I was a little worried about this one, because if Houndoom gets off Sunny Day, then I have to play around Solarbeam. Luckily, it went for Dark Pulse instead, so I basically just EQ'd his entire team.

>Lucian
The first real challenge of the Elite Four. I lead off with Wormadonna again to set up Rocks, then I stall out the screens set up by Mr. Mime by Bug Biting it down. Alakazam comes out and I predict the Focus Blast, switching out to Stern. A few Ominous Winds and it's down too. Gallade comes out next, and I switch to Mr. Morale; unfortunately, this Stone Edge doesn't miss and he gets brought down. I send out Wormadonna to use my one healing item on Stern, before sending them back out. I chip it down with Confusion hax and Ominous Winds, before pivoting out to Hanzo to finish it off with Night Slash. Espeon is up next, and a Night Slash takes it down. Finally out comes Bronzong, and a few Surfs from Tectonix bring it down.

Champion time.

>Cynthia
I lead with Wormadonna to set up rocks and chip down the Spiritomb since he can't really touch me with it. She sends out Garchomp, as expected, and I make the decision to sack Wormadonna so Hanzo gets a safe switch-in. Without Mr. Morale, I didn't have an EQ-safe switch-in, and I didn't wanna risk it. Rest in peace, you goofy bagworm. Anyways, I sent out Hanzo and he one-shots the Garchomp. Bomb diffused. She sent out Roserade next (no idea why), so another Ice Punch and another kill. Out came Lucario and I switched over to Stern to bait the Aura Sphere, and then over to Tectonix. Another EQ, another kill. Out came Togekiss, and Ice Beam was unable to finish it off. I switch over to Lhasa to tank the Aura Sphere incoming, and I hope that Thunderpunch will kill it. Sadly, Togekiss outsped and Lhasa died to an Air Slash. I sent out Stern and Thunderbolt it down. Last up is Milotic, and after a Thunderbolt and Confusion damage, we're champions!

Finally, I'm done with this accursed game. In all seriousness, I haven't played through Platinum as much as D/P, and I really enjoyed it! (Though I am glad to finally be availed of this cursed game). Hanzo, Stern, and Tectonix will enter the Hall of Champions, and Weavile, Rotom, and Whiscash will be banned from future runs. (Though I'm not sure if I'm applying Champs clause to regional forms, what are your opinions on that?)

Up next, we return to Johto for HG/SS!

I did get one later, in Union Cave. Is it worth using despite not being able to trade-evolve it to its final form?

I decided the starter by the last digit of my trainer ID, actually. Cyndaquil is my favorite Gen 2 starter, so this worked out well.

I was planning to box it, but I can bring it out and try using it if it's actually good.

For the early game at least, yes. Geodude makes Faulkner, Bugsy, and Whitney a cakewalk.

By the way, if you’re playing on a ROM, you can actually use the universal randomizer to enable trade evolutions. You just open up the original ROM in the randomizer, but the only thing you toggle on is “change impossible evolutions”. That’ll alter the game so that now Golem evolves at level 38 or something. You can look up online what they changed it to, there’s a webpage that has a list.

You’d have to start over on your run though, but you’re not very far to be fair.

Grats on beating it! And yea, I didnt let him go into battle until fully evolved. I let him eat exp with exp share like a fat ass. Trapinch and Vibrava are just *so frail*.

I did down the twins but it was supppperrrrr close on several hits nearly taking out some team members. Solrock and Flygon came in clutch though.

Went and nabbed the waterstone in the abandoned ship ASAP after and evolved Lombre. Amp's dad Samba would be proud of her.

Since last time, Blake teamed up with Cheren to rescue a little girl's Pokemon from Team Plasma, defeated the mysterious N again in Nacrene City, and trained at the Challenge Rock before entering the next gym. Tex and Dakota evolved, and Montana and Orlando have joined the team.

>Lenora
Orlando deals heavy damage to Herdier despite being Intimidated, and takes a Take Down in return. Lenora heals her Herdier, but Orlando strikes the dog down with a critical Low Sweep.
Expecting a Retaliate from the incoming Watchog, Dakota is sent in to cut its strength. Watchog instead lands a Hypnosis, then hits with Retaliate when Dakota doesn't wake up.
Tex subs in for Dakota and shrugs off two Retaliates, then maxes out his new Arm Thrust with 5 hits, OHKO'ing Watchog.

Not much has happened since my last update so I’ll keep this brief.
Looped around from Fallarbor back to Mauville after saving up enough ash to get the blue and black flute.
On the way I got a Seviper with a calm nature and 23/7/4/24/27/25 IVs bare minimum which I’m very pleased with, gonna try to save up for the flamethrower TM so I can run an effective special set (Although I’m only at 1300/4000 coins so far so I probably won’t get it for a while).
No deaths since Oddish all the way back at my first visit to the trick house, but I’ve got a few bosses without much time between them on the horizon so I won’t get too comfortable.
Finally, I only have Mimi in the party so I can get her Charm and faint attack at level 25 and 27 respectively (She’s my contest Mon).

I've done it a couple times in gens 2 and 3, always failed. It can be tough! Makes you really try and use what you get instead of saying fuck this weakling. Sometimes you get stuck with them. Although if you start doing really well you can pretty much have your pick of the box.
