the previous thread, forgot to add to op
Grinding for Roark. I'm not letting this little twink murder half my team with that broken ass attack stat.
Update
I'm doing a stormsilver run.
I'm not to the sprout tower yet, I actually have to fucking grind for the elder.
>>32839605
What's the rom hack like?
>>32839592
Good looking team
>>32839485
Post team
>>32839636
my boys
I'm pretty confident that Machop and Turtwig together can handle Roark, but I'm still nervous. Might grind a few more levels. Sorry for the shit photo, it's hard to take a photo of a 3ds screen
No deaths
Not pictured: boxed Geodude
>>32839636
It's hard but really fair, the trainers are really good and it does justice to a lot of pokemon that are frankly shit.
It's pretty much a game that gives you a tough challenge but gives you a lot of tools to take on that challenge, like
>eevee before you even get pokeballs
>old rod from guide gent in cherrygrove
>one of each starter from each region early in the game
>a way to evolve your eevee after sprout tower
>shit tons of rare pokemon all over the place to train
>updated evos so you can get trade shit and stuff like it (Scizor, Glaceon, etc.)
the only problem with the hack in my mind is that HGSS are buggy as fuck games on emulators and so theres a lot of frustration in that regard
On my Sun nuzlocke (firsr of gen 7) and off to a fabulously lucky start. Got female Calm Popplio (male would've flimflamed my jimjams, but not too bad) and a Gentle female Pichu on route 1.
Of course, this probably means by my luck they'll both get crit'd soon, but hey. It's a good start.
starting a fire red nuzlocke, first reply decides my starter
Standard fare of Naming everything, If it faints it's dead, and only the first pokemon on the route
I'll also be running if I get a duplicate on the first encounter I get 1 and only 1 reroll, even if its another duplicate i'm stuck with it
>>32839764
bulbasaur
>>32839669
homebrew your 3ds, you can take screenshots. I definitely recommend grinding a bit. You can never be too safe
>>32839674
Sounds pretty enhanced, and not entirely different from the real games. I might have to try it at some point. I'm currently playing sea green (hack of fr/lg) and it's somewhat like that
>>32839752
Good luck!
>>32839764
So dupes clause I believe?
>>32839784
It's honestly my favorite romhack by far, but I'm kind of biased because I really just like hacks that enhance the base games in ways I like, like Emerald 386 and VoltWhite and BlazeBlack
I highly recommend it
>>32839784
Hmm. I've considered homebrewing before but was too nervous to go through with it. I might look into it. There was that recent scare with Nintendo banning modded systems but I'm not sure what the full story on that was. I'll lurk in the homebrew /vg/ thread tomorrow and get some details
I didn't know it allowed screenshots, that's cool
>>32839784
yeah thats the name, thank you
>>32839769
thank you
>>32839795
Blazeblack 2 Challenge mode was the best nuzlocke of my life. Like a rollercoaster of getting my shit pushed in and then raising a few new tough little buggers over and over that did me proud until they inevitability fell.
I never had a nuzlocke team stronger and better well-rounded than I did before taking in Clay. And I never had a team more thoroughly and helplessly slaughtered than I did by his Excadrill.
>>32839752
It says Pichu is only a 5% chance, but I've just run into 3 in a row, 4 out of 10 total encounters on this route. I think I'm burning all my good luck for the nuzlocke on route 1.
>>32839795
Emerald 386 was good, I didn't nuzlocke it but I enjoyed running into a wide variety of pokemon. I wish the real games were like that sometimes
>>32839804
Yeah my friend homebrewed his and says it's even easier now. I haven't done it yet due to laziness but I'm definitely about to very soon
>>32839910
If your Pichu is up front you'll run into another Pichu 50% of the time because of the Static ability. Makes it really annoying to grind Pichus early on
>>32839876
nah senpai
next post names the route 1 baby, Pidgey
>>32839918
I didn't nuzlocke it either, but I have it on my phone and its comfy as fuck to run around in that game looking for pokemon. I feel the same that the games should be more like Stormsilver and emerald 386
>>32839941
ace
>>32839921
Ah, should've known that, just got another, I was flabbergasted. I'm too afraid to switch into Popplio.
God, I bet those random Z-move using trainers are going to be a real bitch.
>>32839669
>>32839485
OH THANK FUCK, I took out Cranidos with one single Low Kick. Things are going well.
>>32839952
Ace it is, time to move over to route 22 and see if I can pick up a not-bird so I don't have to run 2
Update:
Beat the sprout tower elder, his hoothoot is literal aids.
I also realized halfway up that half my team is weak to flying, so I got Glaceon's evolutionary item from the elder. Now time to grind until he gets a good ice move for faulkner.
>>32840021
oh shit
next reply names my next catch, almost killed it with Ace critting it
>>32840048

>>32840048
Dickmonkey, in honor of my ambipom that I used to climb the ladder in showdown
>>32840058
>>32840061
just beat to the punch with TraceyShil
>>32840075
small update
fucked up route 2, skipped a dupe pidgey and accidentally killed the ratatta that showed up after
been grinding for a bit to get a little edge, even grabbed a weedle from viridian forest so gonna get him up to about 10 before i keep moving
FIRST DEATH. Finally it's a Nuzlocke.
RIP Edgy.
Died in the double battle you have with Dawn vs the two Galactic grunts in Jubilife. Got Screeched and crit'd.
>>32840209
just emerged into pewter city, Gust made my life nice and quiet in the forest
Whoops, overleveled my glaceon to 18 before challenging the gym so Faulkner was a literal meme.
I keep forgetting that this hack isnt as hard as I remember.
Anyway a lot of routes have opened up so I can make myself a nice little nest egg in my box in case I get wiped by bugsy.

HELLO EVERYONE!
I just have a little advice for templates! I would suggest using POWERPOINT instead of paint! It allows you to scale images without blurring them, and lets you move and edit without damaging the rest of the template. It makes posting updates significantly easier than using MSP. Please, give it a shot!

First update of the new thread.
Candice has been taken down, but things did not go so smoothly. 4 Double Teams from her Frosslass lead to a rough time, and the death of Donald the Golduck. Thankfully my newest teammate, Anna the Mamoswine, came right out with a Crit Earthquake for the victory.
For those wondering about my Torterra, he's safe and sound. He's just been boxed, probably for the rest of the run. Besides the one Whiscash in the Elite 4, I don't see any reason to keep him around.
Rules:
>On-Cartridge Platinum Nuzlocke
>Any Pokémon that faints must be released
>Catch only the first Pokémon on each route
>Dupes Clause x5
>No Shiny Clause, but still catch 'em as trophies
>No Legendaries
>"Set" Battle Style
>No Items in battle
>Gym Leader-Based Level Cap
>tfw got more deaths while grinding than from actual trainers
Honestly the wild pokemon crit rate increases ten times when my pokemon should be able to take one more hit.
>>32841786
cant even remember the last time ive died to a random encounter except for SELFDESTRUCTS in gen3 below
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzly9Y-IKhk&list=PLbSv8zSDR9c1yFi5pg4zf5yWnbidDTm_l&index=6
would it be possible to do this, but with nuzlocke rules? i'm guessing not
Update
- finally reached cinnabar island
- two badges to go
- farfetch'd is actually really good
>>32841477
you've got a solid team, should be good for the upcoming gyms
>>32841493
who will replace Donald?
>>32841786
sorry about that, anon
Every single one of the dead mons were seriously trained by me.
Especially the Staravia's death hit me hard, since i play with dupes clause.
Grinding before Fantina nowluckily i have a good strat
Rules:
>Platinum 493
>No healing outside of batte (aside from when grinding to avoid running to pc after every stun spore)
>Dupes clause x3
>Fainted pokemon are boxed forever
>Shiny clause
>Battle style Set
>No Legendaries
>Usual nuzlocke rules (first mon on the route etc.)
>>32842192
>>32841786
Just lost my Zubat while grinding to a random crit.
>>32842835
>training a zubat with anything but exp share till it evolves
always lead to tragedy
>>32842906
I gave it Pluck, I figured she had a chance, but nope.
Oh well I'm sure I'll find another one
>>32839833
Can you link to this rom? Ive never heard of it
Finally beaten Norman, dear god
Now watch me choke against Wynona like an idiot
>>32843184

cant wait for ultra sun and moon to continue
>>32843214
might not even reach her, fucks sake
decided to take surf for a spin north of rustboro and forgot about the trainer levels there
lost my manectric and my numel to random trainers
>>32842611
>Who will replace Donald?
Mr. Winkie the Floatzel is currently in training.
>>32843267
and my fucking marshtomp that never hit a crit in his entire worthless life decided to water gun crit the magnemite i wanted to capture in new mauville and one shot kill it
fuck my life with a cactus
>>32843289
If you can just get to the weather institute without dying you'll be fine. The game gives your Castform which can 2- shot her Altaria at level 30-31 with Hail --> Weather Ball
>>32839428
My charmander Charlie died during my X/Y run because I was a fool who decided to trust my Pokeball catching the Meinfoo we were fighting
>On the fence about giving psychic to my drowzee
>Finally take the dive, since I have nothing else to use it
>It fucking dies to a crit the very first battle afterwards
Current team(will probably change Snubbull for something later.)
Good RNG on Fantina saved me pretty hard.
Do i get myself a Leafeon or a Flareon? Personally i'd like to go for a Glaceon but i can't wait this long.
>>32843606
Flareon is crap, but iirc 4th gen is "No fire" the gen, so I can see why you'd consider. Leafeon is better though
>>32843638
I'm playing a hack with all pokemon avaible. I'm not so sure about leafeon because it's special attack is shit and it's only physical grass moves are lvl 15 and 71, so it means i'd be stuck with Magical Leaf until Pastoria.
>>32843665
Plus i have a good gracc vcoverage, with Grass Knot on Prinplup and Magical Leaf on Kirlia.
>>32843665
>>32843672
Flareon is fine then, I just don't like it's movepool in most gens.
>>32843725
It suffers from similar problem as Leafeon but it's Sp. Atk. isn't as bad as Leafeon's. Plus, i can remind it Fire Fang.
>Begin blind Alpha Sapphire Nuzlocke
>My trainer ID is 000911
This is going to be a bad time.
>>32844010
Holy shit, pic please.
platinum nuzlocke (additional rules: set mode, no bag items during battle, no dupes clause, randomized stater)
my team right after I finished the E4 preparations
what are my chances?
>>32844029
C-Can't wait to go on my P-pokemon adventures...
>>32844153
You are Muslim filth now, you must be exterminated
>>32843431
I wish you died instead of Charlie
>>32844153
I can't believe nuzgen turned into a safe haven for islamic extremism. How the times have changed.
Where is JLT so I can bully him
I want to fistfuck JLT in his little nipple boipussies
>>32844242
>ifunny.co
Bring forth your leader so I may engage him in penis combat but not in a gay way but I ain't no faggot
>>32844284
Let's duel with our pepis but in a straight way haha
Remember the classics
When Nuzgen is dead but you wish JLT was here so you could make him dead
what's with this random influx of shitposting
>>32844342
>please put your nuts on the contents of this filename
What did she mean by this
>>32844342
>put your nuts on the contents
>implying JLT has testicles
o i am laffin
>>32844344
After ten decades, I rose from my bed to see Nuzgen and now I wish to blast JLT because he is a filthy niger
>>32844344
fuck off JLT
>>32844344
smells like discord faggotry but I'm not sure
>>32844135
You got this.
>>32844366
im straight
This thread is full of the kinds of people who catch their Pokemom and think they're males (female)
>>32844378
you are gay
>>32844373
Fuck you, JLT is my hero, he even streamed my stream and raced me in a FireRed nuzlocke without asking me, but it wasn't rape haha
>>32844391
You got the diddling my man, he straight up JLT-boned that anuse
mfw Gordon Ramsay himself comes to Nuzgen to talk to me about something Pokemon related so this post is Pokemon related and he uses niger meat to make the entree
Why the H*CK doesnt anyone stream anymore? Is it JLT's fault
>>32844427
Everything is JLT's fault, but especially the Rape of Nanking and gen 6
>>32844432
The what? I dont know what you're talking about
>>32844444
KONO CHIKARA DA
>>32844444

>>32844444
Subarashii
>34 new posts? Is nuzgen getting active again?
>its just shitposting
Why would i ever expect good things anyway
status update: beaten brock on my 0 exp nuzlocke. took fucking forever. don't think i'll be able to get through mount moon with just a single capture on the way, but lets wait and see
>>32843159
It should be in the OP links. Drayano's Blaze Black 2 & Volt White 2. Challenge mode is an absolute motherfucker in that game to nuzlocke, but not cheaply so. Every trainer has decent to excellent movesets and teams.
>>32844786
Did Drayano ever made an equivalent for X/Y/Sun/Moon and below gen 3?
i love romhacks like his that just fix teams and add more possibilities to the teambuilding without adding any speshul snowflakes story
Who the fuck is jlt
>>32840398
forgot to post an update before going to bed so i'll do it before work
crushed brock with Bulba as expected, fucked up my Route 3 Catch on a Nidoran by being an idiot
running into Mt. Moon and grabbing my catch before leaving
>>32844645
How does one do a 0 exp Nuzlocke?
My Platinum run just ended in a fight with a random Camper's Roselia.
Spammed Growth and Mega Drain and there was absolutely nothing I could do. It just fucking walked through my team. No flying type to help me. It was a mass murder. The end. Rip
on the bright side, finally beaten norman!
on the other hand, my team suck
My Sun nuzlocke continues to roll with good fortune. Caught a Docile Yungoos in Haouli Outskirts and Hardy Magnemite in the Trainer's School. (Yes, I know they're listed under "Route 1" locations, but I consider them seperate enough areas to count) Yet to get a mon with an bad nature. That Grimer kid and the Magnemite/Meowth teacher both got my Magnemite in the red, almost lost the tough bastard already.
Entering Haouli City with
Luna the Popplio, lv 10
Mig the Magnemite lv 10
Don the Yungoos lv 11
Cake the Pichu lv 10
>mfw Skarmory
I'm having my luckiest nuzlocke ever. Shinies, rares, and only one death yet (mind you, the game chicken got close wayy to often for my peace of mind). And I did it all in one session.
Clearly tomorrow I'm gonna get tpk'd.
As decided by last thread, I'm choosing popplio named bwark
Am I a boy or a girl? and how niggerish am I?
>>32845979
purest white twink blond boy
>>32845979
Aryan male.
>>32845992
thanks anon, went with that and named him boipu55y (as boipussy was not allowed by the game)
>>32844916
You really dont want to know
>>32846478
I kind of want to now
>>32846756
Avoid the headaches
>>32846777
Lmao ok, I'm drunk anyways so
Nice trips btw
>>32846922
Oh fuck my first trips. What do I win?
>>32846937
>Oh fuck my first trips
You new here???
>>32845897
>that level difference between pokemon
disgusting
>>32846960
Yes, actually I was wondering where I put my username at when I post I can't seem to find it anywhere
What's your opinion on Safari Zones? Specifically the one in Kanto? I think you should get a catch in all 4 areas, since they have different encounters
>>32847343
One try in each area until you catch something
>>32847343
Nope, one encounter and that's it. It's still just one big safari zone. That's how I've seen everyone did it tho so do whatever you think is right
>>32847343
four chances to capture seem fair. its a pain to capture things anyway. specially in gen III with the shitty pokeblocks. four captures seem overkill
but your games your rules my mang
>>32847393
>>32847343
This is what I do. No cheating. If you want something from the furthest section you walk carefully or use a rebel (if you even can use repels in the Safari Zone)
>>32847343
Here's how I handle Safari Zones, personally: throw balls at everything that's doesn't trigger dupes clause. No bait, no rocks, no puffs, no blocks, no running. If it doesn't trigger dupes clause, chuck balls until you run out, or it flees. Once I've caught one (1) Pokémon, or run out of balls, I'm done there.
I'm drunk and I'm restarting platinum fuck it. I'm getting Chimchar. This little faggot better be worth it. I was swept by a Roselia of all things earlier and I'm not making that mistake again. There are like four fire types in Sinnoh and I need at least one.
>>32844954
caught me a zubat, trying to grind it against other zubats and geodudes but man is it a chore
>>32847890

9 seconds apart, but Purple won the race
>>32848123
I want to nuzlocke firered but I hate the fact that it's pre-special moves split.
>>32848152
i don't like the pre-special split too but Kanto is my favorite region so I muscle through it
>>32848163
and now Gary got smacked around mostly by Kris alone until the burn
going through Nugget Bridge
I boxed Purple because i already have 2 poison types
>>32848207

POPPY GOD DAMN IT
>>32848371

Yessss
>>32848392
meant to reply to >>32848387 obviously. don't mind me I'm too drunk to operate 4chan
>>32848387
boo
>>32848397
it's alright, i appreciate the input
team update, put Purple in the day-care and Poppy in the box (already have Ivysaur for now)
>>32848442
Don't blame you. Ivysaur is definitely better than Oddish. Good luck
I'm starting Platinum over, fuck Chimchar. Turtwig is the purest starter.
>>32848453
Torterra is one of my favorite grass types so good taste, good luck
>>32848453
>purest
>ends up dual type
>>32848499
Pure meaning pure of soul, pure of heart.
Turtwig is a beautiful happy boy and is the only Grass starter I've ever chosen over the other two in all 7 generations. I even chose Litten over Rowlet
>>32848513
>not picking treecko
>>32848560
>missing the chance to get a Water/Ground type
Never.
Bros, how do you motivate yourself to go on after you lose your starter and other mons you like, and are stuck with using trash like Ekans?
It's so hard to embrace the grind with stuff like Ekans.
>>32848743
gotta give it your ass so your bros didnt die for nothing
>fucked up my catch on route 6 and 11
>>32848767
>give it your ass
unintentionally made myself laugh
give it your all*
>>32848773
I'm using this phrase from now on, thanks
>>32848780
glad you like it
next reply names my fresh Diglett
heading onto the S.S. Anne once I grind some
>>32848574
whishcash
>>32848818
Yeah. I get both of them.
>>32848812

I'll give it my ass. Thanks bro.
My Sun nuzlocke luck is starting to wane. Arrived in Haouli City, caught a female lax Wingull (Caw). Mr.Pinkhair almost killed my Magnemite & Yungoos, but pulled it off. Skipped the Cemetery catch to wait for daytime, as I don't want Misdreavus. Got lucky with the Berry Tree on Route 2 & got male Hyper Cutter Crabrawler (Creed), unfortunately he's Timid. He dealt with the first trial pretty easily though, & I got an mild male Diglett. Male Gentle Spearow (Jiit) on route 3, and then my good luck ran out.
That Mega Draining Petlil Rising Star killed my spunky little Wingull. First casualty. That Petlil hits like a tank. I just needed to land one. More. Wing attack. Shit's getting real finally. And finally caught an Impish Cottonee (Luftwaif) in the Meadow that I hope to never use.
Team:
Mig the Magnemite Lv.15
Luna the Popplio Lv.15
Don the Yungoos Lv.15
Creed the Crabrawler Lv.15
Box:
Cake the Pichu Lv.13
Mason the Diglett Lv.9
Jiit the Spearow Lv.12
Luftwaif the Cottonee Lv.10
Dead:
Caw the Wingull Lv.14
Level curve hits fast raising an almost full team, no experience share, and little grinding. Having fun so far.
>>32848866
hope they like it

benis it is and i tragically tried to spam magnitude in the digletts cave, but instead of peace and mercy I found only a Dugtrio that was PISSED
Benis right into the ground from whence he came
may he rest in peace
time for SS Anne
I'm throwing the Brick Break TM onto Wolf also, give him a bit more coverage with a move that doesn't suck
>>32848995

NARF is bae.
Platinum Nuzlocker here. Decided to adopt a trip for Nuzgen in hopes that Nuzgen sticks around.
Training my team to 45 before I move on to continue the Team Galactic plot. I'm hoping to land everyone around 47-ish by the time I get to the Distortion World. If I successfully kill Cyrus and Giratina-O, it's off to the last gym, and then the Pokémon League.
I did decide to switch my team up a bit, since I'm having to train a new Water type anyway. Donald the Golduck's death lead to the addition of Mr. Winkie the Floatzel. Ichabod the Rotom and Jafar the Crobat were just starting to fall behind a bit, so I've decided to add Winifred the Gengar and Mickey the Pichusoon Raichuin their place.
>>32849827
they're doing me a lot of good
I actually taught them Thief when I caught them so I could beat shit up without split exp, ended up grabbing a Twisted Spoon from an Abra in a random encounter

Opinions on fishing?
I was thinking one Pokemon per rod, any area choice, but using repels to make sure your first mon is fished seems like the more "nuzlocke" way
>>32850303
Fishing count as an encounter in that route. If you're on Route 673, and there's a patch of grass on Route 673, shaking trees on Route 673, and a spot to fish on Route 673, you still only get one encounter on Route 673. It's just up to you whether or not you get it by fishing or otherwise.
>>32850303
This >>32850307
>>32850288
going to bed, just saved Fuji and got the flute
>>32850303
I count it as the encounter for the route, which does open a few spots in some towns that have ponds and such as well
>>32850338
Sleep well anon. I'll be heading off to bed myself.
Here's how my team sits. I'll try and finish up training tomorrow, and be done with all of the Distortion World crap by the end of the day Sunday.
>>32850346
thanks and you have a good one too, team looks really solid so good luck in the distortion nightmare

Am i ready for the psychic gym y/n
forgot their roster for Emerald, just remember the R/S one
>>32852246
>Forget their roster for Emerald
You have a Pokemon with Surf. They're a total joke. Just focus fire on Solrock and you're fine
>mfw I get Absol through dupes clause
Rationally, I know it's gonna die within the first 3 fights, but it's still nice catching a 8% encounter rate pokemon in a nuzlocke run.
>>32852848
is it really that hard to get an absol? i dont use dupes clause (i have tons of poochyenas) and still found an absol anyway
>>32852848
Nice dude. My buddy got a Pinsir in the Bug Catching Contest, and won, on his first encounter in his HG Nuzlocke. Some people are so fucking lucky. meanwhile I'm coming up on route 207 so I can get either a Machop or a Ponyta, which means there's 100% chance I'm getting a Kricketot
>>32852868
>is it really that hard to get an absol?
Not with dupes clause. It was literally between Absol (8/9 chances) and Seedot (1/9 chances). Without it's the reverse, 8% encounter rate.
>>32839428
HG nuzlocke. Stantler has been by far my biggest surprise, really great offenses. Also used Corsola (which died to crits) that also was a trainwreck with the Choice Specs. Going to the league, but farming heart scales for Megahorn Rapidash and something to put in place of Rock Smash in the Machamp. What are my chances?
(I am afraid of losing Fabulous which is the less defensive of the party)
>>32852947
Does your Meganium still know Reflect? If so make sure to abuse that when you can to keep Stantler safe
>>32852967
Yes. It has Petal Dance, EQ and both screens. I'll probably destroy the Elite 4 and really rely on those to not lose anything on Lance.
>>32853159
Good luck!
>>32853159
I want to start a HGSS Nuzlocke, and I want to use Chik, but the fact that it doesn't learn leech seed is disgusting to me.
I guess I'd dual-screen if I did it.
>>32853170
Thanks, anon!
>>32853196
I was thought Meganium was the worst one to lead with between the starters for its lack of movepool. However, the fact that every single of its stats are at least decent makes it decent in game. It's meant to be a support Pokémon. People use it expecting big sweeps or something, but its movepool just shouts it's not meant for that kind of play.
Starting it now, leading with Rapidash.
>>32853320
Its typing is just so bad in Johto that the least they could have done is give it leech seed so we could toxic/seed/protect stall.
>>32853320
>Gunk Shot Muk critted Henry the Machamp under Reflect

Hikari the Dewgong killed redeemed the team and killed every single mon after that, including all Lance's mons. Props for Pegasus the Rapidash for surviving. Really sad now because the two mons left are the ones who joined me for last. I will miss my friends ;_;
>my starter sacrificed itself to beat Red's Pikachu in the final battle
I'm in tears lads
We've been through so much together, i didn't wanted it to end like this.
It was supposed to be his retirement, then we would be happy forever, no more fights
But it just wasn't meant to be

Life is so fleeting......
>>32839428
Where does Sun and Moon fall under in the Difficulty list?
>>32853584
with exp share: only "harder" than gen6
without exp share: above platinum
>>32853584
I think it depends on your rules with Amie and Exp Share, but I've heard it has the potential to be among the hardest in the series.
>>32853589
oh yeah, forgot to mention "without refresh" as well
with it is even easier, refresh is OP as fuck
>>32853589
>>32853607
So to get the best experience possible I should play it without Refresh and EXP Share?
>>32853628
pretty much
exp share tends to overlevel your team and refresh is just plain broken, making you hit crits out of nowhere, making your pokemon tank moves when it shouldnt, etcetera
>>32853628
In theory, I've never done it. Brace for trial double battles and Z-Moves, though. Just one Z move can potentially KO any pokemon. Also another spot where I always faint is the tutorial for Battle Royale. Shit is hard if you're not prepared for it.
At least Hau heals your Pokemon ahead of time.
>>32853648
in my experience z-moves are laughably weak though. many times i feared a z-powered death and even effective moves would take just like half of the health of my mons
battle royale is pretty much a guaranteed death tho because the fucking AI always target you
/vp/ what mons should I use to rebuild my team?
(the only mons with plain trash natures are Geodude and Caterpies)

Good to know, thanks anons. I'll be back to start my Nuzlocke.
mfw my last playthrough was Black 2 normal mode and got wrecked by Colress and Ghetsis.
I just started my first Nuzlocke ever with Red Proud Eyes. I think this may have been a mistake. I did have a question, though: what is the definition of "Area"? Is it each route?
>been doing a variant of nuzlockes from that one anon where you export survivors from one game to the next but with deleveling, devolving and removing their moves so they aren't overpowered and running other rules to keep the difficulty
>went from emerald to firered to platinum and just finished soulsilver
>somehow this Altaria survived everything so far
Any pokemon that you've been running that have really surprised you?
I'll be doing No Healing Soul Silver here are the rules.
>Standar Nuzlocke Rules.
>Dupes Clause, counts for the entire line.
>Shiny Clause.
>I can't recover HP by any means more than the unavoidable healings in the game. So, I won't be allowed to use Pokemon Centers, Items, Healing abilities and Healing moves IF doing so will result in recovering HP.
>Only "healing" methond allowed are Heal Balls.
One dude did it in Platinum (and without heal balls), so I'm pretty sure this is possible. Wish me luck.
>>32853700
>what is the definition of "Area"?
I always went by "I can't have two pokes with the same caught location."
I don't remember if it already was a thing in gen1 tho. If it isn't, try going for one poke for each area as defined by having a separate page on bulbapedia or wherever the fuck else.
Beginning a new Emerald nuzlocke. Usual shit, just that I can't use healing items in a fight and set mode. You guys choose what starter should I choose and if nobody answer me, I'm going to do the trainer ID trick.
>>32853740
Her name makes it so ironic, it's hilarious.
>>32853792
I just wing it. Routes are one area which includes random encounter all methods (grass, water, rocks, trees, etc), even if the route is split in half like Route 4 in RSE. Caves are all one, not levels. Buildings are all one, not floors. Cities are each one and that includes any and all gift pokemon, prize pokemon, etc.
>>32853767
>So, I won't be allowed to use Pokemon Centers, Items, Healing abilities and Healing moves IF doing so will result in recovering HP.
>One dude did it in Platinum
I don't believe it. How can you even reliably restore PPs without pokemon centers?
>>32853679
Jynx is an offensive juggernaut in Kanto.
Especially since you now are going to have access to psychic and icebeam.
>>32853792
>>32853804
That makes sense, I guess. I never really understood the appeal to all these self-imposed rules, but since my brother's girlfriend started making fun of me for NOT doing it, i decided to give her rules a shot.

>>32853817
>I never really understood the appeal to all these self-imposed rules
More challenging. Forces me to use pokemon I haven't used before. I get more careful in fights to keep my team alive.
Basically, the challenge gets me involved enough to actually play through a game I already beat a dozen times.
>>32853832
Tell us what happened, anon. We're here for you
>>32853825
Yeah. I mean, he called her out for her bullshit and she did apologize, but it got me thinking about why she does it and the appeal of extra rules. And while I like playing Pokemon casually, I also wanted to understand her point of view. So, here I am playing at work and just had my first causality. Rip in peace Birbuns the Pidgey; you taught me the value of Antidotes.
>>32853848

>>32853832
What happened?

survived with a tiny pixel of hp and killed my vibrava
then i got flustered, misclicked and lost my machamp as well
>>32853938
That's devastating
and here comes the spiral of death
tropius and armaldo also ded
runs basically over folks
cant do it only with swampert, wigglytuff and a fucking golem
anything decent i can capture from mossdeep onwards that might give me a chance against juan/E4?
jesus christ should never have stepped in mossdeep
should have retired to a cozy cabin in lilycove
4 of my 6 main dead
this is a disaster
someone wake me from this nightmare
give me the sweet release of death
>>32854029
>>32854041
These are my "replacements". I also have another fucking shuppet in the daycare, which i'm not going back to pick up because no Fly. Help me make this quick and not painful
>>32854140
You're so fucked.
>>32853845
Jesus fucking christ that run. That's insane commitment, I don't know whether to envy or pity his idea of fun.
>>32852848
My first mon of this Sun nuzlocke was 5% chance Pichu. I know that feel.
Speaking of which, finally went back to the Haouli Cemetery for my capture, after accidentally knocking out the Zubat I was trying to catch in Seaward Cave like a dummy. Caught a male naive Drifloon with the nuzlocke-useless Aftermath ability. Zepplin should be a good replacement for my deceased Wingull.
Time to finish Route 3 after grinding my new guy and take on the Kahuna.
>>32854140
>which i'm not going back to pick up because no Fly
Might as well go. I doubt you can grind up to Soothopolis levels while surfing around Mossdeep. Repel up and go back to more forgiving shores anon, or you're fucked.
>>32854228
tfw you used a ghost type vs the first hakuna and got pursuited to death
>>32853802
Yeah, best part is that she performs absurdly well if she gets past the point of learning some good normal STAB moves as Swablu and gets the chance to learn and set up for Dragon Dances and Fly as Altaria. It's gotten to the point where she did half the heavy lifting against Cynthia's Garchomp which I was sure I was going to wipe there.
Hoping she'll survive my gen 5 runs whenever I'll get to them and maybe even to ORAS to get her mega stone.
>>32850362
>>32850338
and we're back online
about to take on the Snorlax east of vermilion

Damn, that's some gauntlet of death toy had. Be proud your earlier buds made the sacrifice to put a damned Dewgong and Rapidash over the line.

Yeah, I haven't checked the move lists (I don't, or trainers or rosters as a rule. I can only operate from my very limited memory), but I figured he'd have something like that. I don't want to risk my new little Drifloon just yet.
>>32854461
Underleveled meaning illegal. It's level 17 and that's not usually possible.
So I just found out Pokemon Emerald Kaizo exists
I wonder if it will be harder than Cuck Emerald. I've played a lot of emerald hacks in my days in nuzgen so I'm gonna give it a shot
jollynuzcrew.com it's stream time
Haven't played in a long time. Here's where I left off last time.
>>32854451
Huley joins the fray and has been proving pretty useful, taught it Rock Tomb over yawn for a little coverage
made it to Fuscia with no more losses but a lot of near-misses on Wolf and Ace
>>32854590
Okay so I'm not sure how to do the Safari Zone with it's rules was thinking this
3 chances (so 3 encounters that end however)
Dupes still applies
Can catch all 3 encounters if you're lucky enough
that too lenient?
>>32841477
And in honor of tj i will never do a nuzlocke run
>>32854607
just used these rules so i grabbed a Doduo, Paras, and Venomoth
Narf and Hurley wrecked house at Koga's Gym
Wolf bit the dust to a random trainer on my way back to Lavender

one last team update, will be back later on
dumped my 3 rare candies into Hurley just because
>>32854730
Technically it's just one big safari zone but w/e
Small update on my Pokémon Emerald nuzlocke. Everything has been great. I failed to catch a Lotad though, could have been a nice member of my team. Going to level up my Shroomish.
>>32854249
Godfuckingdammit. Having battle mode on Set makes all the difference.
After grinding my team to level 15 (and my new Drifloon I waited for daytime for to 16) I hit the Kahuna. Leading with Popplio that Mankey surprisingly Karate Chopped it to 13 HP with just 2 hits. Switched out to Drifloon because I figured another chop was coming, and I was right. But then his motherfucking Crabrawler came in and Pursuited him to death on the switch. Aftermath made it hurt, at least. My Spearow got some damage in before he KO'd her too. My Crabrawler took out his and took care of Makuhita.
I thought I was flying high at first, but 3 quick deaths in succession (to all of ny flying types I had) are bringing me down to earth. Now I really wish I hadn't botched that Zubat capture in Seaward cave. Time to Tauros charge the island and then off to Island 2.
>>32855235
Yep. Pursuit is an asshole.
rip to all those whom youve lost

>>32855453
Firered probably would be best considering most amount of rom hacks. Wouldn't mind a emerald/sapphire if you had that though.

Don't use the download "accelerator", it's a shitty adware.
Fuck my life. I've lost a shitton of main team pokes today, which means I've wasted an unholy amount of experience. That whore duo in Mossdeep got my beloved Absol (which actually lasted a whole 20 levels, they usually die on me in like three fights) and my psychopig on which I had wasted a whopping two TMs.
I've gotta shore up the team. What should I put in now?
Started a Fire Red Omega Nuzlocke.
Used the last digit of my trainer number to pick a pokemon, got Smoochum. Named it TinaTurner. LET'S DO THIS!
>>32855507
Thanks mate.
What do you guys do if your first encounter in a new area is a double battle? Eterna Forest, dark grass, etc?

Could you share your template m8? want to start a gen I nuzlocke too.

Just caught a Buneary in Eterna Forest before that fuckin Chansey could egg bomb it to death. Klutz, but whatever. Now to grind in Eterna with my mobile pokemon center. I swear to god I better not see a shiny in this forest. I don't really have anything to quickly kill Chansey with.
>>32855517

>>32855512
Tentacool, Magnemite and maybe Baltoy.
>>32855535
>>32855767
What's so good about Tentacool? Never liked the little shit.
That's what I came up with. Now I just need to grind them up to to the 40s. Somehow..
>>32855961
>What's so good about Tentacool?
godly tank and good attacker
your loss dumdumb, enjoy your stupid sealeo
>>32855961
Tentacruel gets quite some bulk, and it isn't awful on the offense site either.
>>32855961
Tentacruel resists 7 types of damage in that gen, is surprisingly quick, and is a special tank.
I will never complain about the overload of wingulls in water routes again. Thanks to it i have another flying pokemon again! wooo!
also why the hell pelipper can learn shock wave? its two types are weak against electric moves for fucks sake
>>32855961
Tentacruel is a goddamn tank and as good as anything you're likely to find in a nuzlocke on offense.
>>32856021
>>32856074
>>32856212
>>32856257
You actually make a good case (7 resistances? I spent the whole run oneshotting them with my shockwave and psywave carrying pig, I thought they were jokes). I suppose I could look for a high level one in the routes I haven't got a catch yet. I've been repelling my way through the eastern searoutes, so I'm safe. I just need to find out where they are highest levelled I suppose. I'm not raising the level 5 one I have fished out of Dewford.
>>32856310
>>32856310
New thread
>>32856271
Tentacool is a joke, Tentacruel has some bulk. And of course you wouldn't want to keep it in on psychic or electric or ground moves.
