Update.
I'm at school now so my Blaze Black nuzlocke will have to be put on hold.
In the meantime, I'll be doing a Soul Silver nuzlocke instead! I don't usually roll for the starter but I can't really decide right now so let's go!
7-9 = Chikorita
1-3 = Cyndaquil
4-6 = Totodile
0 = Nuzgen decides!
>>28137920
>memedubmlrtalesjw
I'm sick of this shit, one of these days I'm going to go to the library and make a Wix website or some shit, compile everything into one, make new links and remove the dead ones.
Make nuzgen pretty again.
>>28137949
>it's a goat
The gif made me chuckle, I kept it.
>>28137936
Shouldn't you be paying attention in class?
>>28137936
>at school now
You're fueling the fire of the stigma of you being underage
:^)
So in my off time, giving my Pokemon some more to do, growing their personality and my love of them before something inevitable and brutally murders them despite my surprisingly clean run so far.
Is there a good way to make poffins on Platinum for an emulator? It seems hard and annoying and sometimes the thing doesn't want to register the rotation entirely. Is Lv. 15 or so the highest Poffin you can make, because that was near perfect and can you make them faster than a minute?
I'm not really sure how any of that works, never did it before.
>>28138026
When I go back to school I don't plan on stopping my Nuzlockes just because I'll be in a dorm, why should he?
>>28138026
Or he's in college, ya know that is school too. He probably is in college, playing games in high school is pretty hard without getting into trouble, college, nobody really gives a fuck.
>>28138069
I'm not calling him underage, I'm just saying a bunch of people will probably assume that:
>school = high school
>high school, starting a year, at most 17 unless his birthday was within the past 2 weeks
I'm not saying he is, but I can imagine people calling him underage more now because of that
>>28138099
in my language we use the same word in our everyday talk to talk about high school and university. Is it different in english?
>>28138136
Not really, most people I know just use school as a catch-all term as well.
This is my current White 2 Challenge Mode nuzlocke team I'm using. Just got my 8th badge a couple days ago.
>using legends
Virizion's a lesser trio legend and helps fill the gap I need for Grass and Fighting coverage. Also lost my Haxorus catching it and caught it fair and square in an Ultra Ball.
>>28138200
Forgot pic.
Considering I've never played in johto before and I'm somewhat new to nuzlocke, would it be complete suicide to try sacred gold or storm silver?
>>28138289
Those two, more than likely yes. Doing the base games, no, not at all outside of the early game and depending on what Pokemon you get and start with.
What Pokémon should I use now? Remember the rules: one starter at most in my team.
All right, team fully grinded. I decided to replace Psyduck with Sealeo since I could get more coverage and STAB as well as having more bulk. Since I haven't been buying any items at all in this run (only using what I've picked off the ground, self set rule), I had a lot of money so I went to the Game Corner and bought some TMs.
Psychic for Hayato and Flamethrower for Alissa specifically.
>leveling up Staryu by putting it in front of my team then switching out
>Dodrio used Pursuit!
FUCK
>>28138331
Ledian, eevee and gulpin
>>28138331
Poliwag, Ampharos, Pidgeot. They have spoken to me and will be true bros/sis's.
>>28138332
That went better than expected. No deaths, Godot swept the entire thing with Growth + Faint Attack/Giga Drain. Solrock actually helped me win by giving me a Chlorophyll boost.
I just cleared out the galactic building in Veilstone City. Candice had a Miltank, and I barely made it out without any losses, but team galactic was easy.
Fml. I forgot to save and I lost most of my progress. I don't even know if I want to play now.
>>28137920
I have never played XY, so to make it special I have made my first playthrough of Y a Nuzlocke run.
Here's the crew so far:
>Golett (aka "Rookie") Lv. 42
>Amaura (aka "Bronson") Lv. 44
>Slowpoke (aka "Dirk") Lv. 39
>Chesnaught (aka "Crunchy") Lv. 47
>Pyroar (aka "Tango") Lv. 44
>Vespiqueen (aka "Buzzabell") Lv. 41
We just took Clemont and claimed our fifth badge! On our way to the next gym, thinking about those we have lost along the way to get this far...
>>28138358
>>28138374
I took the best suggestions from both. Lampara returns to the party after a long absence and will replace Bolt, whereas Poliwag will make up for Pulse.
Finally, Eevee will have the impossible task of making me forget about Xavi the Alakazam.
I'm here and can't do too much with Yuizel or Hope. I think I need more time to get attached to this new team and perhaps a proper 6th member.
>Goals
• Grind like a mofo
• Obliterate sprout tower
• Accrue backup pokemon
>Observations
Scamp might as well be named crit master flex, about 65% of the time I used him in battle he landed a crit, let's hope the crit rng is just one sided
Basic Badge get, Cheren had LUvdisc and Squirtle, and frankly, kids on my way to him were tougher. Electrike continues being useless, hope grinding can change that. Team still consists of him, Glaceon, Cranidos and Sigilyph, i decided to go for double grass in Vir Complex.
That's what I got, dubs decide.

>Unusable the Unown
What power, a rock hidden power Unown was a star in one of my past nuzlockes
Okay, I'll admit I'm shit at this. A Magneton's Mirror Shot caught me off guard and killed Boko Goron. Then I forgot I had Unusable on the team meaning that I offered up Fuck Cyrus. Yuizel couldn't do much here and Snowfake was melted down. I actually lost hope in Hope and am surprised she's alive. It's been a downhill journey since Candice.

>>28138200
>lost Haxorus to Virizion
Hwat?
Started a new Nuzlocke for Sweet Version, this one can be surprisingly brutal at times. Almost all trainer battles are double battles, and there's a good level spike between event battles. Not to mention the 12 new types you have to learn
A level 3 tattata's tackle crit my level 3 Starly for 15 points of damage. fucking rip.
>tfw Starly is your favorite basic bird too
Alright, everyone's level 15 or +. IT'S TIME. I SHALL FACE FALKNER. I SHALL BE VICTORIOUS.
My Platinum Nuzlocke isn't any fun. I'm just not having any fun with it, it's just boring. I don't know if it's just Platinum or if it's my Pokémon.
Tell me what to do, I'm at Fantania.
1. Keep going
2. Change teams
3. Start over on Plat
4. Go to E, FR, or FRO
Team is
Minun, 24
Quilava, 24
Seel, 19
Hariyama, 24
Barboach, 25
Mothim, 25
Seel is a new addition to deal with Fantania, he's low for a reason

>>28140080
Decide to go with Strawmanderor Strawander, I guess the m couldn't fit. Wasn't given an option to nickname him, but I'll worry about that later
Also, there are, like, 3 rivals in this game.
>>28140309
I FINALLY BEAT JOHTO. Gadot died though it was harsh have had her since bell tower. Damn dragonite and

First catch, gonna name her Red
>>28140415

you dungoofed, friend.
>>28140514
Well it doesn't matter now, because it was killed by a crit scratch by a wild Meowffin
Sorry I haven't been updating, Johto's just kind of boring near the beginning.
Most of the boxedmons are boxed because they have godawful natures. Croconaw's actually Modest himself but I'll try to make him own it. Bugsy was kind of annoying but luckily U-turning into Metapod = free heals. I've got a massive electric weakness but hopefully that'll be fixed before it becomes too big of a problem. I'm looking forward to getting Sudowoodo.
Also credit to Dan for the awesome template!

I fucking hate this game
wiped on blaze black 2 on skyla because of crits ruining my plan and general ridiculousness, i fucking hate this
seriously, blaze black is so good but then the gym leaders are beyond ridiculous. In general, difficult double and triple battles are the fucking death of me in nuzlockes
so do i start playing sacred gold or emerald?
>>28140818
I mean to ask if it's legit
Wew, big update after last time. If any of you were around earlier, you saw 4/6 of my team get wiped on various trainers throughout Route 8, it was a horrible morning. Somehow, Harambe Jr still survives.
I got together a new team of box mons and spent a while grinding them up, just took on Drayden. Col. Kurtz solo'd his entire gym with Icicle Crash. With a new team ready, Route 10 and Victory Road is next.
Also daily reminder that Agito is the hope of mankind.
Are BB/VW less brutal to nuzlocke than BB2/VW2?
>>28140948
Yes they are.
>>28140948
Depends. If you think double/triple/rotation battles with good mons are hard, BB1 will fuck you over.
If you do challenge mode in BB2, it can fuck you over.
fml
>>28139795
It knocked him out with a crit Sacred Sword.
>>28141129
you shouldn't be using starters, especially in drayano hacks since he hands them out like candy
your choice though I suppose
Just started up a flawless platinum run, I'm super happy that I nabbed a ratls on the first route. I will protect her at all costs.
>>28139495
Selfdestruct has claimed countless mons. R.i.p.
>>28138335
Pursuit is such a bitch on nuzlockes.
>>28141230
Flawless Platinum is far from Flawless/ Sure the trainers and gyms can be tough be the Elite 4 is horrible. Do BS plat if you want the whole game to be challenging
>>28140962
>>28140976
followup question: BB/VW can be randomized using the Universal Randomizer, right?
>>28141227
what's the problem with starters? It's not like they are stronger than other mon
>>28141260
I'm pretty sure it can, don't see why it wouldn't. Though its already got different Pokemon in places that sort of balance things out and in turn make them harder sometimes.
>>28141230
Forgot picture.
Makuhita encountered some rotten luck in his first battle, RIP.
Encountered one of my favorite Pokemon in the next route though so it's not so bad.
Barely made it through Victory Road. Set myself a rule that once I enter I can't leave. The double battle at the end of it fucked me other with Skill Swap + Slaking.
RIP Hayato and Raid

Tell me nuzgen, how do you feel about the use of battle items in Nuzlockes?

Honorable mentions go to:
Hariyama - Half carried me the entire game until Norman
Alakazam - Same deal but until Tate/Liza
Brobat - Brobat
Godot - New leader of the team after the first wipe against Tate/Liza. Saved my ass multiple times sweeping the last two gyms.
Not sure what to move onto next. Maybe Gold or something.

Use them if you want.

Treat yourself to some 3D? XY?
>>28141999
I might do, I just only have one copy of XY so I gotta trade over all my bros to ORAS so I'll probably do it at a later date.
>>28141982
How much challenge do you want?
I wish the randomizer had a "starter can be any basic Pokemon with at least one evolution" option.
fully random can give you fully evolved pokemon, and I feel "basic with two evolutions" cuts your options down too much
>>28142018
Just kinda average difficulty. Was gonna go onto Platinum but from what I've heard I'm hesistant. I'm thinking either Fire Red, White or Gold.
>>28142079
(Non challenge) BW2 isn't bad after the second gym. Audino's make grinding nice
>>28142117
I guess I'll do White and then White 2 just to keep my autism in check.
Starting it now even though its 1am. Rolling for starter.

I used trainer's eye rematches personally
Just defeated Erika and added Watergoat to my team.
Need your opinion, I'm thinking of maybe switching Primeape with hitmonlee. Never used any of them on any previous run.
On one hand hitmonlee is a stronger fighting type but on the other hand primeape is faster and can learn rock slide, covering his weakness.
my last 2 choices will be a grass type (since there's like 4 routes with like 60% chance of getting a grass type in yellow where I didnt get any encounter) and either a vulpix or the first safari mon I can found.
What do you guys think I should do?

Observations:
Fuck Tentacools
Only got males on my team, all our dicks are out for Harambe and our fallen comrades.
So I went to grind Ike by fishing pokemon right outside violet city, It was going great, I thought it was ezpz xp but then all of a sudden this motherfucking level 14 Tentacool comes out of nowhere and destroys Ike. If I didn't panic I would have gotten away with only the loss of Ike by switching to Mojave destroying Tentacool easily but I goofed and sent out Lana who i thought could resist tank.

Greetings from Striaton City. Probably not gonna get the monkey so I can hopefully get a Munna.
playing liquid crystal for the first time. Should I nuzlocke it? I kind of want to just experience the game, but if it's not terribly different then i'll do a nuz run
>>28143106
How much have you played the games before?
>>28143134
I've played all of them, last did a nuzlocke about two years ago though (not counting the Emerald I just did)
Starting a new Platinum run, I picked Turtwig. I'll probably call him Ironback. He's Modest andProud of its power
>>28143106
I didn't want a repeat of last time when my starter was one of the first to die. Got critted by a Patrat in the gym. I guess it's up to Rusty now.
RIP Savion
Level 5 - 11
Those crazy ass nuzlockes with rules like
>no potions in battle
>only one pokemon center visit per gym
>etc etc
how are those even winnable? or are you just supposed to see how long you can last
>>28143400
Well then
>>28143439
I finished a HG run with:
- Normal 3 rules.
- Battle style on SET.
- No grinding above the next leaders ace mons level.
- No items in battle.
They're not so bad once you pass the first few gyms, but before that the no items rule is a fucking monster.
I will never understand the one pokemon center visit rule though.
Rusty soloed Chili without breaking a sweat avenging her buddy

>>28144314
Oh ya, and what should I replace Wombat and Warthog with?
>>28144302
They're good and therefore easy mode. Also one of the great things about Nuzlocke is using pokemon you otherwise never would. Who, by their own choosing, brings a Raticate or a Dugong or Torkoal to the E4? Starters ruin that.
Also in some games like Sacred Gold you get to pick FOUR generations of starters AND an Eevee. That's just too much determinism.
Their usually forced onto you in the originals, so kind of a lack of originality nuzzluk wise?

No one. Because they don't carry their own weight. It's not "fun" to use them, it's challenging. Don't confuse the two. Anyone can do a "shitmon run". There's There's good reason no one does.
>>28144442
Those are all fucking rad.
I think Jumpluff is my new favorite Grass-type. Leech Seed, Poison Powder, and Synthesis is too much fun to use. This guy ends every turn with a net gain of HP while the foe gets sapped dry. Stone cold.
Has Nuzlocke ever turned you on to a really great or fun to use Pokemon that you never would've really thought about otherwise?
>>28144442
God tier bunch of pokes, my man
>>28144463
Making shitmons work and growing attached to them is LITERALLY the point of Nuzlocke.

Congrats on choosing the best fossil, Anon. Let me clue you in on a little secret: Metal Sound + AncientPower. Good shit.
>>28144469
Amoonguss in my current Black run, similar premise, but it's Rocky Helmet + Toxic, Giga Drain, Synthesis, and Ingrain (Replaced for Clear Smog) I just gain health forever as they get hurt by poison and hit themselves against the helmet.
>>28144469
Fuck yeah. In my Y run ROFLcopter the Jumpluff and Pazuzu the Chatot were my two clutches
Also, about to take Chuck on in Sacred Gold
>>28144391
I know it was an exemple and I get your point but it's really funny because Raticate and Dewgong are my favorite gen 1 pokemon and I always try to use them in my run. Even do solo rattata runs.
Also, torkoal was in my last 2 hoenn e4 team.
Again I understand your point but its a funny coincidence

Except it's "L I T E R A L L Y" not. The point of a Nuzlocke is to use what you get, make it work and develop a connection to them. That includes the GOOD ONES too! If you think that's the purpose of a Nuzlocke then please, go do a pure Shitmon run. You'll have more fun.
>>28144469
>Captain Testicle
Focus Energy + Arm Thrust is about as fucking broken as it gets early game
I'm going with Tyrogue, who is now Hitmonchan, since it was the first suggestion. I'm also going to replace Persian with Houndoom because Persian is pretty weak and I want a fire type.
>>28144539most of my fav are shitmon and I always use them in normal runs. Whenever I start a nuzlocke and get good pokemon, I end up using them because I never use them normally. That's why I don't post progress here, I don't want to get insulted.
>>28144539
The point of a Nuzlocke is to make the game harder. The original is even called Pokemon hard mode.
>>28144590
Nice.
when doing a Randomized Nuclocke, does that necessitate that wild pokemon AND trainer pokemon be randomized, or just wild pokemon?
I know randomizing trainers isn't, like, illegal or anything but I'm wondering what the common meaning is
Have any of you guys thought of making little comics or drawings of significant events of your nuzlocke? Even if you can't draw at all?
>>28144634
This is faulty argument. It's not making it harder simply for the sake being harder. FUN is a still a prerequisite.
>>28144671
I don't really take randomized nuzlocke seriously, they are fun because everything is a surprise.
I randomize wild pokemon, trainers, lvl up moves, abilities, types, attack types and items.
>>28144693
I would love to but I really, REALLY can't draw for shit.
>>28144693
I always lose interest desu.
>>28144671
I'm not randomizing the trainers in my nuzlocke but everything else is. Its just to get me to use a different set of Pokemon for something I'm used to what is in what area.
>>28144693
I want to but I would have to draw on paper, take a photo of it with my phone and upload. AlsoI have the drawing skill of a 8 years old so it would end up being deviantart-tier art.
>>28141368
Just as I thought Marshtomp was OP and able to steamroll basically anything.
>>28144721
So? Doesn't mean it can't be entertaining to some, even if its scribbles and stick figures.
I can't draw either anon, but I'm thinking about giving it a go, why not you?
>>28144724
Maybe drawing it out would get you to keep interest?
>>28144757
>marshtomp dying to camerupt
>literally both of your STABs are 4x effective
how?
>>28144779
It's a ton of work. Especially since I have to use paper. If I was drawing digitally, then sure, easy as pie. But it's too easy to fuck up things I've spent time on otherwise. Let alone having to either A)Remember everything that happened or B)Stop to draw during the playthrough. It's just a chore. I like doodling some of it at least.
>>28144693
I have hand-drawn a few but if you're putting any extra effort into them, they're such a time investment. Hell, these templates alone are enough to keep me busy.
They're great art exercise though, I was actually really proud of the last one I did, which was a few years ago, actually. It was LeafGreen, and I remember drawing Mankey with this really great, constantly pissed off expression. I had a lot of fun with the fight scenes.
But yeah, they're just a real timesink unless you treat it as a half-doodled goof.
>>28144748
And? The original nuzlocke comics weren't all that drawn well either, they were just quirky little fun.
>>28144817
Water Gun only took off that much HP. I don't know.
>>28144859
I'll just keep them in my head. I'll probably end up in cringe threads if I share them.
Do you guys think I'm ready for Pryce? I'm usually not this cautious but my team has a big Ice weakness, and I'm worried about getting caught off-guard by a strong Water-type attack, too.
>brock is randomly given a vulpix with 70% accurate hypnosis and 100% confuse ray in omega fire red
This isn't "challenge", it's fucking bullshit.
Well so much for this run. I got destroyed by the gym leader's Gligar with Acrobatics. If I still had Shadow Geodude, I might have had a chance. Oh well. I'll finish this up regularly some other time.
Going to start a run of Moemon Platinum now with trade evos made obtainable.

Assuming Big Nugger knows a rock move, I'd say give it a few levels and try to evolve Slowpoke (if it evolves at 33, Ihave never trained one and don't knowto take a STAB hit or two, I know they're somewhat bulky. I'd say the same for Stormy Ann, then only take the 3 so you don't get a team wipe. You're running a pretty big risk.
>>28144839
Why not grab SAI or Photoshop?
>>28144853
Does it need to be anything more than a half-doodled goof?
>>28144914
Ah it can't hurt to draw some up in the future and post them here, if nobody likes them you can stop, or if people wanna see more keep doing them.
I'm always excited to read other people's journeys as I do my own, but I do wish I could visually see the strife on their face if a beloved Pokemon dies, even if its a stick face figure, ya know?
>>28145126
If he doesn't want to do it stop pushing him to do it. Jesus there are so many comics out there to read, just go read those

I think it's a Vulpix to reference the anime, but yeah, it's bullshit.
>>28145126
I'll give it a shot for the finale of my Black Nuzlocke. The new team I got after the partial wipe made it through Victory Road, and I have some good type coverage. It's gonna be 5year old stick figure tier, but I'll give it a shot at some point.

>>28145451
Star Sapphire and by extension Meme Sapphire aren't meant for Nuzlockes.
I suggest Sinking Sapphire instead.
>>28145168
I wasn't pushing him, if he doesn't want to he doesn't have to. Its called encouraging someone for something they would love to do. Not a hard concept to grasp.

This was easier than I thought it would be. I always heard people say this was nearly impossible, its pretty easy as long as you have the Feebas. Though getting the Feebas is the problem, or was.

If you're using UPRandomizer, that's unfortunately NOT an option for Starters.
Why not just use random base stages only?

Thought I had, turns out I hadn't.
I'll re-do it. Thanks for confirming it's not an option for starters at least.
Alright lads, it's come down to this. I've done my grinding, and it's time to take the league. This has been a great run, whatever happens. Harambe Jr was a joke addition who was supposed to die like his namesake, but he's become the team mascot and carried everyone this far. How do I look? I'm mostly going to be relying on Agito's speed and attack for the Ghost/Psychic leaders. I'm mostly worried about facing N and Ghetsis later on, it's gonna be a ringer.
>>28145861Burgh has a Focus Sash Parasect with Counter in BBVW2.
>>28146117
That's just not right fampai
After numerous failures that could have been avoided, I'm starting to consider permitting myself items in battle again.
Early game is just such a fuckfest without items.
Just beat Chuck, stopping here for now. Might pop into that cave where Lugia is for a new pokemon before challenging the Olivine gym but I'm such a goddamn steamroller right now that I feel like any new Pokemon I catch at this point will just be clutter.
Crystal is one of the easier Nuzlockes, right? There was some danger at first but now it feels like a cakewalk. I love my team but they're just destroying everything in sight. It's satisfying, but I haven't gotten any intensity from a battle since Morty.
But then again, while looking it up, I apparently fought Pryce WAY ahead of schedule which may explain why Chuck was even weaker.
>>28146335
That is just Gen 2 in general. Once you start steamrolling its easy from there on out due to the leveling curve because of two regions.
I'm going to face tate & Liza right now. Man they are higher level than I am. I'm so fucked.

Honestly some of my favorite things about nuzlockes are finding and exploring everything in the region.
I've grown to apricate Johto and Hoenn even more through nuzlockesFuck Kalos though, it's literal dogshit with nothing to do/find and unbalanced as fuck
>>28146785

Well now, guess I'm retarded. ;_;
>>28146821
I like every game besides X and Y, I even like ORAS. It's just I was so bored the entire time looking for something to do/find/explore or somewhere to grind. Also the Boss's are the easiest things, it's certain NPC's you have to watch out for.
Like level 13 Kadabra, or double battle double headbutt level 14 furfou, or the battle girl Hawlucha with X scissor.
Then gyms/rival don't have complete movesets? It hurts my head to think about
>>28144963

>>28146113
What ever happened to Flicker?
>>28147043
Never used, Harambe Jr never died, so there wasn't much need for another fire type, plus Agito's dark typing.
I'm guessing randomizers don't work with hacked ROMs? I can't get any of them to work on Desmume.
Here's a challenge for you guys:
Pokémon Rusty rules
>no using healing items of any kind
>no using Pokecenters except to deposit Pokémon
>only item you can buy is any type of Poke Ball
Obviously comes from Pokémon Rusty's line:
>"You can heal Pokemon? Huh, I've just been throwing them away."
>>28147330
How feasible is this in most games? Are healing /moves/ allowed?
>>28147330
If you did this in Fire Red you'd be pretty okay. I don't belive you'd be able to beat the E4, but due to the fact that most gyms can be skipped, I bet you'd be able to get at least 4 badges.
Kutos if you can make it to Blaine, let alone Giovanni.
>>28147330
That actually seems impossible.
>>28147350
>Kanto
Plausible
>Jhoto
Probably not
>Hoenn
Definitely not
>Sinnoh
Honestly? Catching 6 Machops could get you the 1st badge, probably not much more since Gardenia is fucking busted
>Unova
Stop
>Kalos
Never played it, but I assume no
I thought the idea was feasible because I was thinking of Kanto, specifically having FR in mind, but I doubt it would work anywhere else.
>>28147413
Err, I say Kanto is plausible in the sense that if you jumped gyms, you could maybe manage 4 badges, but not much else.I'm going to try it because I'm fucking retarded and don't have anything to do besides grind in my Nuzlocke
>>28147413
It wouldn't work for Kanto either, if you can't use a Pokemon center or items, you have no way of healing. Something in Viridian Forest will eventually kill you, either the trainers or poison.
Even then, you have to beat Brock in FRLG to get the running shoes and go past the NPC towards Mt. Moon.
The only way its plausible for any game is if you spend hours and hours grinding and even then that is risky early game. I legit do not think it is possible in any main game.
>>28147446
It was worth a shot. Don't get me wrong, I understand that it's dumb and shouldn't work, but I figure that if you hit it the right way eventually something will work.
Doing it in Platinum, trained Turtwig on level 2 Starlys, caught 2 Kriketots, used Bide to get through the first 2 trainers, Turtwig through the last. PP is a problem, so I'm just going to do it until I lose. It'll be soon enough anyways, so I figured I'd try. I'm currently in Jubilife
My skills in paint are fucking terrible but I started Crystal on an emulator and after losing my starter to a Mr. Mime I got unmotivated. Kept on and my next capture was Hope the shiny Noctowl. Hope I don't lose this one.
I have completed the Looker quest. With that, my Y wonderlocke comes to a close.
Before I move on, I give you one final update on my pokemon.

And with that, I shall begin a Platinum Poison type Monolocke. First update soonish, so for now you can look at the new template.
>>28147572
Yeah I didn't even think of PP as an issue.
Its theoretically possible if you get a good randomizer going. Something with Dragon Rage for instance (if that is even possible). Eventually you could buy heal balls for catches. Though you'd still need to find a way to get PP back.
As a quick update since it's taking a while to make all the relevant pictures and shit. The crew managed to beat the League, N, and Ghetsis. We lost Some Rock along the way, but everyone else managed to survive through some luck and smart switches.

Are you still following normal Nuzlocke rules?
Is Sinking Sapphire any good? I want a current gen hack, but I'm put off by the very few mon balance changes in SS. Not that many things have been made usable that weren't already.
>>28148288
Faint rule, otherwise I can have as many Pokes as I want. It's really hard to take a faint, just like in a nuzlockes. Leveling isn't very easy due to limited PP.

So far, so good. No more traumatic losses. Had two difficult situations: Shelby against a Scizor in Canalave Gym, and Sonya against an Azumarill in Route 221. Sonya's HP fell to 5, and it was a bullshit crit, but she managed to survive, somehow.
As soon as I finish training Moku, I'll face Byron. Good thing he doesn't have a Bronzong, otherwise I would be fucked.

>>28148725
That's a nice idea. Does the type chart change only the names of the types, or it's completely different?

Since this is my first time playing Storm Silver I was not expecting Falkner to have 6 pokemon. I'm excited to see how the other gym battles will go. Almost lost Scamp from Falkner's Chatot's uproar attack, Shit did like 20 damage per attack; I had to risk Scamp to get rid of Chatot. Roost was very obnoxious to deal with but my team and I prevailed. Ended up burning through 20 potions.

IMO, Crystal. Beside the level scale issue I think the game holds up really well, and the gen 2 graphics and sound effects are simple yet charming in a way. If you want something updated graphics then by all means play liquid crystal, plus it has another region. I'm just advocating for original to experience it as it was, then in the future sometime do liquid crystal
>>28152088
yes, do it

The thing that turns me off most drayano hacks is how bloated the routes are with pokemon, for instance the first routes always have the generic ratata and the generic pidgey so you can run into
