first for giving Youngster Joey my number
FINALLY managed to find Surf and golden teeth.
Newest addition to the team is what I wanted all along, Rabbit!
Now off to kick Koga's ass.
I wish I wasn't at work. Seeing all these posts makes me wanna play.
Holy crap, Gary nearly DEMOLISHED me with Curse Walrein. My underleveled Vileplume barely pulled through after getting 2 parahaxes on him. Fighting him as champion is actually gonna be brutal.
Anybody got nickname ideas for a Bellsprout?
>>28016046
Is this FROmega? I didn't know Gary had a Walrein. Granted, I've never Nuzd it and I lose interest around Surge when I play it.

I'm getting destoyed by evasion/confusion faggotry at every corner. And let's not talk about that rocknigger's gym.
I literally have a Granbull left.
>>28016141
How do you randomize a 3ds game?
>>28016253
Homebrew and a lot of free SD Card space
In general is a nuzlocke run of Pokemon Platinum considered done after I've beaten The Elite Four and Cynthia, or do people usually include the postgame as well?
>>28015779
Koga down, three more leaders to go.
Poison nearly took down two of my tanks, but using a poison type (Gengar) did its job.
>>28016222

If you can beat the BF with your nuz team, great, but its not mandatory or anything

If you mean Black 1, yes

Lv 15 Salamence??
I've been trying to Nuzlocke FROmega for the past couple of days.
Brock murdered 4 of my mons, then I lost 2 to the Zubat in Mt. Moon. I'm stuck with a Togepi and a Ratatta.
This is fucking brutal, I love it.
Is there rules against trading pokemon to evolve? Just found a Gastly in Sprout tower and I'm wondering if I can trade it to get a Gengar or am I stuck with Haunter?
>>28016773
Some have a problem and other don't. I use trade evolutionsbecause of all those years of having nobody to trade with
Wew, Rocket Executives are no joke in Sacred Gold.
Both Petrel and Ariana left three of my mons in the red, both Sekhmet and Logi surviving with 8hp on occasion.
Especially Petrel's Weezing with Fireblast and Thunder. Although due to quick switching, my Flash Fire Logi got hit by Fire Blast and swept the rest of his team.
Still need to battle the last executive.
>>28016502
Oh shit I haven't played either in so long. What was the post game to b2
>>28016856
PWT
>>28016773
I have no problem with it. I mean why not, its your Pokemon to do with as you see fit. If you wanna trade it and get it to evolve by all means do so.
Breeding on the other hand is a very mixed bag for people due to it giving you an endless supply of Pokemon to keep trying with and replacing.
>>28016876
I've personally not used bred pokemon in a nuzlocke before, but if I were to do so I'd either count the daycare route or the route where the egg hatches as the location met.
>>28016876
>>28016820
Alright, I'll see how I feel once I get Haunter, if I want to evolve him I'll have to dig out my copy of pearl to do so.any nicknames for a Gastly? I know I keep asking for nicknames but I suck at naming pokemon
>>28016976
Glycoalka
>>28016976
Giggles
>>28017032
Any reason behind this name or is it just jibberish?
>>28017082
Might go with this if I can't find anything else.
>>28016976Machamp
>>28017215
Something to do with poison potato gas
>>28017215
Snickers. Chortle. Yukyuk. Things that are related to laughter are good nicknames for Gengar.
Think I'll fight Koga before Giovanni, he's probably easier.
>>28016097
Yeah, Walrein's brutal against my team. I really like the buffs he's been given, always a challenge.
>>28016826
Are the four Rocket brothers in Silph Co. supposed to be the Rocket Executives in Johto?
>>28017389
Are you playing the regular version? If yes, then you're nearly in the same place as me. I'm the guy who had a female Alakazam in the previous thread.
What's your team?
>>28017535
Dead, mostly.
Fuck Koga, man.
I'm playing FireRed Omega.
>>28017705
Oh, I'm playing the original one. Bear and Turtle barely tanked out.
>Cat used Dig!
>Voltorb used Selfdestruct!
Dodged a HUGE bullet here. Cat is by far my favorite bro in this playthrough.
do i start X or OR make my decisions for me /nzg/
Back from college!
Here's what the team looks like right now. I'll need to buff it up or else I run the risk of having one of them die. Level 33 for all of them should be good. I'm also considering training ALL of my Pokémon to level 33, including the ones in the box. Who knows when they could come handy...
>>28017973
Even X. Odd OR.
Update: Everything's dead.
There's still quite a few routes I skipped so I might catch more guys, but suggestions for new teammates? Eevee's probably gonna make it in.
>>28018043
Skiploom, Pichu, Snubull
>>28018043
Eevee, Magikarp, Snubbull, Quagsire, Skiploom, Kelceon.
These are the ones that will lead you to victory. Believe in my heart of cards that believes in them.

Nice naming scheme.
>>28018043
Pick birdemon for fly, I'd prefer Hoothoot over pidgey, but it's your choice
Lotad for top tier mexicanmon, plus grass/water.
Either Pichu or Eevee/Jolteon for team diversity.
Just battled a gulpin in the trick house and paralysed it on the first move, and it genuinely wasn't fully paralysed on any of the 10+ turns in the battle. What the actual fuck??

Starting a Black 2 blind (kinda since I played Black) nuzlocke after making Cynthia's Garchomp choke on a blizzard.
Going for monotype just because. Any suggestions?
>>28018280
Grass type.Have fun with that
>>28018280
Water should be good.
>>28018280
Do Steel, just so you don't end up cramping the other gym leader's style.
I FORGOT ABOUT THIS GUY THERE
Well... Wish me luck, /nzg/.
I know these are getting harder to find, so I picked two up for Nuzgen, please only take them if you need them.No one can stop you if you don't, but that's your call.
>>28018455
They can literally print more at the register.
>>28018043
Damn, bro. Fuck Koga, I liked ODDMSHROOM.
Jolteon would look mighty fine in that Party, and I would suggest Pidgeot over Noctowl since it's all around better, and Noctowl's more of a Special Tank. Also either Lotad, or Gastly would fit nicely as that last member.
At this point, I'm happy if at least the Pokémon are male...
When I beat lance the first time in Heart Gold on the Desume emulator, the game wont let me continue to the post game.
I'm about to do my first randomizer run. Should I randomize trainer's pokemon or not?
Blue has evolved
whats the best ROM hack?
I am currently playing Glazed but I want to make sure there are no better ones out with more modern animations or things to do. Any games that add content other than battling?
About to take on Wulfric. Hopefully he doesn't have a Klefki.
gonna do a platinum nuzlocke. should i do vanilla platinum or go for a hack?
Working on my romhack some more before I start my next run, base is Fire Red.
What features should I add?
Already included features:
>HMs deletable
>TMs infinite use
>Fairy Type
>Physical/Special split
>Forced Set Mode
>No Trade evolutions
>Increased trainer levels
>Day/Night
How to make the best Fire Red hack for Nuzlocke runs?

Please make "no trade evolutions" logical. Kadabra, Graveler, Machoke -> 36 -> Evolution.
Pokémon that needed to be traded with certain item now evolve while having said item equipped.
It feels like every hack out there follows the most stupid set of arbitrary rules ever imposed.

not him, but I've had a lot of mons die to crits on their paper thin defenses (although like 80% of my mons have -Defense nature to start with). The only one I've lost with no way to prevent was a kid with a trapinch that somehow did not die to a water pulse from tentacool

>>28019769
Most of them are based on level, some are with stones.
While I like the idea of hold items+level up method of evolution, I tend to randomize and that creates a chance of impossibility of achieving those evolutions.
I suppose I could implement it and then make all those items purchasable at some location? Celdaon Department store?

>>28019858
I don't remember specifically, but I know it's because I accidentally randomized trainer's moves and a pokemon pulled out a move they shouldn't know. Like my starter, the dustox, died to a whimsicott with rock wrecker.
>>28020381
Nice special wall
Last update, still need to grind these guys. I looked all over the map, flying to Cinnabar and the Power Plant and Articuno's Cave but there wasn't anything good anywhere. Thanks to all who gave me suggestions! Here's my two new members:
>Umbreon
Possibly my more questionable pick. Ironically, somebody suggested Umbreon before when I was thinking Jolteon and now somebody's suggesting Jolteon. Umbreon overlaps with Snorlax quite a bit but I feel it's overall a little more tanky. It's actually a special-attacker (Dark = Special) and despite the -SpAtk nature I think it can shine in that role. Not to mention I need a reliable answer to Sabrina and Agatha - Snorlax is kind of okay against Sabrina but it's totally walled by Agatha. Also, more bulk is never bad.
>Gyarados
Resists both of Umbreon's weaknesses. Intimidate is really important on a team that doesn't have much physical bulk. Not to mention a +Def nature. I'm less sure of Gyarados than Umbreon but Gyarados' legacy as a great pokemon and a nuzlocke saviour should speak for itself, as it has for me. Gives me a bit of a rock weakness but the only Rock-type threats I see coming are Aerodactyl/Golem which I think I can handle.
Finally, I don't have a sixth member. If I can't find anything good in Victory Road pic related is all I've got. I'm considering Kabutops or Quagsire for my sixth.
>>28020250
Aight.
why can't I hold all these Pokémon
>>28020431

>>28020617

Anyone else not able to download DeSmuMe?

When you're done doing this, will you put a link of it up here?
Endless grinding.
These guys have to be level 50+ to handle Sabrina and/or Giovanni.
Also, I learned something new today. If you're in a double battle and you learn a new move that replaces a move that you've already selected then you end up using the new move. Kind of obvious, maybe, but still neat.
>>28019296
please take some ideas from http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=366030 , having a great time with it
>>28020523
>no deaths
>fire red omega
Pick one
Heres my final team after beating the elite 4. Im starting on a Blue giftlocke tomorrow, replacing the champion with this team to make thibga canon lol. After that im thinking of starting yellow with my final Blue team replacing Lace so that he'd be the final fourth elite with Red being the champion rival again.
Afterwards im thinking of playing gold and placing my final yellow team as the e4 champion, and my final blue and red teams replacing their proper namesakes
>>28015604
Hours later, I finally have the first badge.Are eggs received during the main story considered gift pokemon? Can they be used during a nuzlocke run? If not I'll box it and carry on without it
just got a nidoran male, SO happy. Better not die on me :'(
Random FRO Observation #4: The water route has lower-leveled trainers than the bike route. Cycling Road confirmed for real men.
>>28021274
Congrats! Cool team, liking Mr. Mime.
>>28021271
If I ever play this acursed game again I could probably make it through with no deaths. It'd take an assload of grinding and already knowing the game, though.
>>28021284
They are giftmons. You can use them if they're the first thing you find in the "area" you received it which is usually a city so the answer's usually yes.
Gonna continue my Omega run some other day, I'm frankly a bit burned out about Pokémon.
For the future, what are some nice Emerald and Platinum hacks that are similar in scope to Omega and other hacks made by the same guy? I'm talking all Pokémon availability, more difficult gyms, and the like.
>>28021415
look up Drayano hacks. Sacred Gold / Storm Silver, Blaze Black / Volt White (and BB2 / VW2), some ORAS hacks, names are escaping me
>>28021350
I got blastoise from the game corner, my starter was weepinbell.
>>28021541
Ah, ok
>>28021271
My first time through the hack I died with Brock, mostly because I had only three Pokémon and two were flying types.
Second time I knew every Gym leader has six Pokémon, and I prepared accordingly. I breezed through Brock, Misty posed more of a challenge, and Surge was the first one to actually scare my shit when his Manectric almost killed Mushie with Firethrower, pic related.
I know sooner or later I'm going to lose one of my Mons to some Gym leader, but I will train hard (unless I get bored and go suicide style).
>>28021580
ive been rooting for Mushie for like two days he better not die lol.

>>28021399
Hey dude, i love alphaville too, my favorite songs are Big In Japan and Sounds Like a Melody.
Are these decent stats?
I never enjoyed grinding. I usually cheat and rare candy up to the same level as the leaders MVP. It usually leaves my team weaker because of no EVs so unless you go way overboard it should still be an interesting nuzlocke. Though, mos5 people would consider this to be against the spirit of a nuzlocke
>>28021871
It is against the spirit of nuzlocke
>>28021871
That's becauseit is
Gyarados getting the easiest of 2HKOs with love attack. This thing gets no physical moves in Gen 3, I swear.
>>28021871
It's a little less fun if you cheat IMO but different strokes. It's probably easier for me because this game has Vs. Seeker.
>>28021836
Good taste. Stats look fine to me.
>>28021871
I don't like grinding either, but it is a necessary evil. Same reason why I don't speed up my grinding: I will disable battle animations at most, since console users can do it too.
As I said the other day, grinding in 2 minutes as opposed to grinding in 30 minutes *does* make the bond with your Pokémon less powerful.
>>28021941
>He makes "bonds" with his pokemon
>>28021464
Thanks senpai, I'm familiar with Drayano's (well, I like FRO anyways which is the one I've played with so far), and I was hoping someone would have made hacks similar in spirit for Emerald and Platinum.
>>28022032
>he doesn't bond with his pokemon
>>28022068
ah, missed that somehow
expert emerald is in line with Dray hacks in terms of difficulty, and for Plat i'd recommend Origin or Flawless Platinum

>If it was caught in your last run, you can't catch it this run
It's basically means that I'll have a better chance of using Pidgey and Taillow 50/50 instead of one over the other.
>>28022357
It's fine.
Personally I use the "already caught" clause and my own rule for caves (catch the first of every floor, then pick one at random).

Arrive at Azelea Town. Started making progress through Slowpoke well when a Rocket Grunt managed to land a critical hit on Gastly. My first casualty of the game.
RIP Glycoalka.
>>28023046
Does Dupes Clause affect all Unown, or only that specific letter?
>>28023144
once you catch one they're all marked as caught, so I would assume one letter affects all.
I don't think you can find unowns outside of Alph Ruins in SS though, so I can't catch more than one regardless.
Can someone post a template to post here for Fire Red?
Quick update before I go, didn't make alot of progress because I got distracted with youtube videos.
Finally got to Celestic and beat Cyrus. Also explored some new routes.

I want to do a standard nuzlocke run in pokemon red, but i have never done something like this before and i have a few questions that i couldn't find answers to in OP's links, someone care to help me?
1_Do i *must* catch every first pokémon in every new route or area? Let's say i already have a full team and don't want any more pokémon, do i still have to catch the first one in a new area?
2_Can i swap my pokémon freely between the PC and the team i carry or i can only withdraw one from the PC if one from the team dies?
3_What if the first pokémon i encounter in a new area or route is a species i already have?
Can I evolve Electabuzz and Magmar in Firered Omega?
>>28023742
1- must catch the first you encounter in every route/cave/location
2- can't swap freely, only switch if one of the team dies
3- catch only the ones you dont have
>>28023029
Alomomola is the worst game
>>28023742
prefacing this: there are all sorts of nuzlocke variations with more detailed rules, but I'm answering your questions assuming you mean a standard run.
1: you aren't required to, but I would recommend it, even if it would just sit in the PC forever. You never know when you'll need to replace a party member
2: feel free to replace anyone to and from the PC whenever
3: if you already have it, or another pokemon on its' evo line, you get to skip the encounter; commonly referred to as "dupes clause"
>>28023793
iirc no, but magmar/electabuzz/jynx have been buffed
>>28023886
do u need cut right now? or can u continue with the game until u reach the next route and hope for the best?
Alright, gonna start up Firered Omega. Elekid, Magby, or Smoochum?
>>28023919
Nevermind I found another route unexplored

I'm kinda sad my Psyduck died. I was just getting used to him and random crit killed him. They always seem to die when you least expect it. I like my current team though, Bastiodon is severely under leveled.
Oh yeah, the Sevii Islands are a thing.
This run might be salvaged yet.

Casual = Elekid
Smart = Smoochum
Hardcore = Magby
>>28023992
Unown is pretty tanky in hacks where it gets buffed. Good for walling
>>28023992
managed to get hidden power psychic which has been working wonders so far.
>>28024026
What if I'm not smart
I'm shit at Pokemon
>>28024052
Then you shouldn't be doing a nuzlocke
>literally name your daughter Lostelle

>>28024052
Elekid's the guy for you then.
These lasses and their miniskirts are so suggestive.
They make my dick super hard.

Hi TPP
playing liquid crystal for the first time as a nuzlocke, which starter should I go with?
>>28024187
OneHand
This is a Randomize Nuzlocke of FireRed, my starter was Lotad and the only things that are randomized are the mons, abilities and items.
No one died yet and I've beaten Brock
He has a Trapinch and a Minun
What level should I be at in FireRed Omega for Brock?
>>28024551
his levels are 10-14 iirc
>>28025042
Ah, alright. I'm grinding to 10 in Viridian, having already caught my Forest mon, and then going to finish the grinding to 15-16 in the Forest
>>28025085
>grinding to above the gym leader
I seriously hope you don't do this.
>>28025361
>grinding one level above him
The fuck is wrong with it?
>>28023657
defeated the first gym. Yazoo got crit down to red hp, so i had to sub Shiner in to spam growth and whittle down the rest of Cilian's mons. I wonder if the monkey in the dreamyard is randomized in this rom? Going to catch something else in that zone first anyway
>>28016126
>Getting Durant and Heatmor on the same team.
Damn, that's pretty cool.
What level is best to evolve Sunkern?
>>28025800
depends, what game?nice dubs
>>28025840
Firered Omega, I just caught it at level 10.thank you
>>28025859
Oh, shit, free Torchic AND Mudkip in Pewter? Love this hack.
>>28026129
Wiped to Brock. GG.
All right, so I'm randomizing Black 2, and I've hit upon my sticking point with the Universal Randomizer...
It's only "every trainer in the game is type themed" or "every trainer is completely random". There's no option to make it so gyms, the E4, and select other obviously-type-themed (like, say, any Bird Trainers are flying-type themed) while everyone else is completely random. Making every Trainer ever type-themed makes it predictable- oh, this guy has Water-types, better send out my grass guy and wipe his team- but a gym without type theming is just a collection of trainers.
Is there a setting I'm not seeing, or alternatively, a different randomizer I can use?
>>28026129
>taking free starters
>>28026367
>not taking free starters
>>28026366
So you don't want the challenge of a completely random gym and just want to steamroll the actual hard parts of the game with one pokemon that counters the type.
>>28026394
The gym thing isn't a matter of challenge, it's a matter of, well, satisfying my autism. Like I said, it, to me, is not a Gym without type theming. It's just a bunch of trainers standing around. (Also I find "X gym leader except Y type" funny.) However, at the exact same time, I don't want ALL trainers in the game to be type-themed.
How the fuck can a numel outspeed a machop? RIP /fit/.
>>28026464
>people outside standing around that are type themed is bad and must be changed
>people inside standing around that are type themed is good and must be kept that way
Can't you edit specific trainers to your choosing? Go through and edit all the relevant gym trainers/leader with whatever after you randomize the rest of the shit.
>>28026551
All right, lemme put it another way. In the base game, the gyms are type-themed, but the trainers outside usually aren't.
That's what I want.
Also that'd remove the point of randomizing the game in the first place. It'd be Pokemon I defined. If I could do that, I could go ahead and give every gym trainer/leader a team of six Magikarps and say they're all "water gyms". (Watered-down gyms?)
>>28026379
>not counting gifts as your encounter for that area
>>28026590
Yeah, but why would you be such a faggot?
>>28026640
Nuzlocke didn't count gifts as encounters, so I don't take it as a hard rule
>>28026590
It's your challenge. If you want 6 magikarps for every gym then go ahead. Outside trainers are usually themed anyways.
>>28026645
I wouldn't, but the point is that I don't really trust myself with creating teams for these gyms. That and I'd already know what it is before I fight it because I edited it all in myself.
>>28026686
Neeeh, fine, I'll go with type theming.
>>28026686
This. Bird Keeper X is gonna use mostly flying, Bug Catcher Y is gonna use all bugs, etc. Majority of trainers in the games are monotype and the variety comes with the 2nd types their mons have.
And it all starts with a land shark in the winter. Haven't yet battled rival.Is it bad that I've literally never played Black/White 2 before? I've played the original White but that's it
WELP
I'M SORRY BUT NO
WHAT THE FUCK
>>28027013
it's legit, accept it
>>28027057
Don't worry, I am.Kinda have to as I ragequit and hadn't saved since before I got Roadshark.
Doesn't really matter, though- this was literally two minutes into the game. Now I know to avoid Deoxys like the plague, though.
>>28027085
you dont tick "no legendaries"?
>>28027107
...That's a good point, actually. Ticking lack of legends.
And it all starts with a pair of gears in the winter. Again, this is pre-rival.
Won against Brock. Elekid, Marshtomp (who accidentally ended up overleveled so I refused to switch him), and Mankey (;_;) died. Treecko took out Onix.
>>28024225

Turns out my first encounter, a Hariyama, would rather commit sudoku via Final Gambit than join my team. Fucking hell.
I guess I'll grab some experience here instead.

Decided to do a randomized run of Black, with the following rules:
>Area 1-to-1 Similar Strength
>Type-themed trainers
>naming scheme is ancient gods/goddesses
Starter choices are Weedle, Swinub and Lotad. Which one, /nzg/?
>>28027499
Lotad
Name him after a Mesoamerican god
>>28027499
Dude Weedlemao
FUCK
PRESSED B INSTEAD OF A
DIDN'T GET TO NAME LICKYLICKY
Anyways, here's Lingus the Lickylicky, who's getting a trip to the Name Rater as soon as humanly possible. Fuck.
>>28027499
Weedle.
Dudeweed.
>>28027538
I misspelled Lickilicky twice with the game right in front of me. Now I feel like even more of a moron.
Went with >>28027504's suggestion, since he actually followed the scheme. The adventure begins!
>>28027609
>khush
>not picking the god of weed for Weedrill
>finish my first non-wipe nuzlocke of Heart Gold
>Red cleared with two survivors
>feel empty inside
You guys said this would be fun
>>28027742
What do you mean? You did it. I usually feel relieved once I finish a nuz.
Anyone know where I can get a patched copy of Black 2, or alternatively White? Google's a shit
Ugh, does DesMume not have turbo? What's a good emulator with turbo for DS?

>it hits again
>heal ag-
>it gets a crit
>mfw death
rip quagsire, you were a good randomized starter. At least I have something to replace you with.And of course the moment my Flying-type revengekills it, Gurdurr revealed Rock Slide. FUCK YOU GURDURR.
>>28027742
i finished soul silver a couple years ago. was the best nuzlocke ive done
>starter totodile lives all the way to the red fight
>get dratini from the game corner, dragonite comes with to mt silver
>catch alakazam, also gets to mt silver
>crobat, best of bros tanks blows and poisons everything
>catch snorlax and ampharos in kanto, theyre p good
>but despite having this all star line-up, all but but snorlax end up dying in the fight.
>probably because i was ten levels under what I should have been
it was intense. Hugh Jass the snorlax was such a great pokemon
Wilting Y rebalanced.
and thus, the adventure ends here. I really need to stop wiping during gym battles, this is getting ridiculous.
Moth the Venomoth dead. The first time Selfdestruct got me like this.
Using Boxer the Hitmonchan instead, now exping him before the final rival fight before the Victory Road.
>>28028532
GAAAAAAAAAAAARYYYYYYYYY
YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT
KILLING 4/6 OF MY TEAM, INCLUDING MY BEST BRO CAT
NOW I'M LEFT WITH A SNORLAX AND BLASTOISE
>mfw I get ~2500 EXP for killing an Audino 10 levels lower
is Audino exempt from Unova's level scaling or what????
I am using Luck Egg, but damn. Why is Audino so fat and juicy?

Update on this Randomized Black Run...
>why can't anything survive edition
Got the first badge though! And Akhushtal (Lombre) has been a stud for me. Mars and Wadjet died training, Cronus to a trainer, and Ah Peku by my own negligence (Nature Power in a double battle lead to a Super Effective Earthquake on poor chinchou). Considering the mortality rate of this squad, I can only hope Hapi sticks around for a while.
>>28029352
>Forgetting the image subedition
>>28029214
dat hp
>>28023742
1) Nope.
2) Whenever you want.
3) Catch one you don't have.
>>28025085
Don't listen to this guy, OP >>28025361
Especially if going blind like I did. It's much better to be safe than sorry, here's my team when fighting Brock.
Last time I used a team of lvl 14 Dustox, lvl 14 Pidgey (I think) and lvl 10 Skitty. I didn't make it past his second Pokémon.
R.i.p. we're in for hard times. Lost my Nate the vigoroth at the young age of 29 and also Mercutio the Skarmory at the same level. That team magma admin was way stronger than I expected. Almost lost my ferrochen and candela to him as well.
I'm guessing the next gym is going to be very rough. I'm hoping if I get camerupt to 40 and militant to 50 I can just wipe through flannery.
Also, picked up an egg? And also a sylveon. Very happy about the sylveon because I finally have someone with some sp def.
>>28029858
Forgot pic.
Man I hate playing Sacred Gold or Storm Silver on the Desume Emulator. It's my most favorite game, but I just hate that I have to save a million times because of that damn sprite glitch. Even worse is that every time I face lance and beat him for the first time, for some reason I can't access the home screen after I beat lance. It's just so frustrating.
Time for an update!
I'm going to tackle the Celadon gym with this team. I feel confident enough with Mushie and Tullip being the way they are.
So curious what some of you do for contests. Do you still use the same Nuzlocke rules where if it doesn't come in first it dies? If so, why?
>>28016826
Is there a GBA hack similar to Sacred Gold? Or should I bite the bullet and just download a DS emulator?
Taking on Watson on ORAS with a Lombre, Oddish, Vigoroth and Makuhita. Literally impossible to win this battle, he uses Volt Switch every turn and it's taking 60-70% of my health each move
>Almost lost Drapion to Focus Band Sharpedo's Earthquake
Fuck you Shelly
>>28030316
Could be worse, you could be barely lv. 22-23 and running into Dragonites with Dragon Rage every 5 steps in this randomizer.
>>28030316
I actually despise this fucking faggot ass cunt
Legitimately as angry as I have ever been at a game ever.
I hope volt switch dies in a fucking firey grave
>>28030316
Didn't your Slakoth learn Amnesia?
Also I didn't buy ORAS so I wouldn't know, but have you got any X-Special Defs?
>>28030134
Fucking done!
I actually recorded the fight in VBA, but after finishing and opening the file, it says it's broken. I can still play it, but if I import it into Premiere, it won't let me, and the file is 3GB big (it was a 7 minute battle or so).
What do?
Have you ever been so screwed, your team on Victory Road looked like this?
>>28030703
My God anon...godspeed.
>>28030155
contests? lol who even cares
>>28030754
>not taking a break for the deadly assault of trainers and death on your hands to have a brief moment of reprise in a contest
>>28030739
>>28030703
Heh...
I also have an Electrode and mediocre mons like Zubat, but they're all too underleveled. I'll just spend a while spamming Surf on Geodudes to outclass E4.
I want Turtle to beat the hell out of rival's Venusaur personally.
>>28030679
Fixed it using a program called VirtualDub.
Here you go! Full fight against Erika.

>Arrived at Mauville City

>Leveling up Wall-E to beat Wattson, who is Electric type
Am I too over leveled? If I am should I lay off the training next couple gyms so it's more fair?
>>28031043
I'm not going for monotype btw it just so happens most of my first encounters are water or psychic or both
>>28030997
And so it shall be!
>>28031043
I`d say about here is alright.
>>28030679
How did you record the battle?
If it's avi, you could always render it in Windows Movie Maker/Sony Vegas Pro/whatever you have.
Our journey begins anew...
>>28031245
I used VBA's Record function inside the Tools menu, "record Avi".
>>28031466
Oh.
As I said, you can render that via whatever you have. Shouldn't be too hard.
By default, the frames are uncompressed, making the file big.For reference, DeSmuMe .avi which I am using for a certain project, is about one GB per minute. Thankfully, it splits the recording into separate files once it gets long enough.
This good enough for Burgh in B2?
>>28022912
Defeated the first gym leader (Grass type), continued to clear team Plasma from the dreamyard. On to the next city
>>28031878
RIP Burgh`s team. Worked up Scoobert OP.
>>28020617
I need to get around to playing that.
Started up once and got bored n quit before Misty even.
Updating on Plat Nuzlocke from last thread when I asked for tips.
Azumarill and Rampardos had an unfortunate Staraptor accident on Iron Island. Figuring that Riley was with me and healing my Pokemon, I took the chance to grind up a new team. I was down to only Manadnock and Bella before. Thinking I'm ready to move on now. Gonna challenge Canalave soon.
how do you into playing an emulator?
it doesnt have the magic of playing on console.
>>28032855
Another really quick update, in which Annabelle sweeps the entire Canalave gym. Whoever suggested raising Ponyta earlier, good call. She'll probably prove handy up in Snowpoint too.
Well my run of Ultra Violet lasted until Misty. Fucking broken ass Starmie, doesn't help that I didnt have a good team for it.
RIP Alice the Houndour/MadHouse the Mankey/Apple the Pigdeotto

>>28033020
Playing on laptop and getting comfy in bed
Wifi went out for 5 hours, i made 2 updates in the downtime
>>28033500
Just beat ghostfucker.
Should i just grind sprout up to level 30?
Also whoever suggested kor, i love you.
It gets crabhammer really early and a base 90 power water type move is great!
Team's ready, wrecking that champion asshole in a while.
>>28033531
Corphish is a bro. He's the only thing getting me through my emerald omega run right now. Just be careful because his spec Def isn't too good.
Maybe you guys can help since I'm retarded when it comes to this kinda shit. I wanna run Black 2 through a randomizer, but all the files for B2/W2 can't be read by UPR. Any idea why this is and how to fix it?
>>28033806
I DID IT GUYS, I ACTUALLY DID IT
I'VE BEATEN MY FIRST NUZLOCKE AFTER 3 FAILED ATTEMPTS...Or so I'd say, but now there are the islands... And beating (not catching) the legendaries.
