I need to stop Morty but my best Pokemon are Maganium and Corsola. The previous two were lost to crits while grinding
Lost Graveler and Raticate against Jasmine cause I fucked up. Any advice on who to train? I'm going to the Lake of rage next.

>>28169280
I love it anon. If he makes it to the end he gonna be a legend.
YEAH MAN FUCK 'IM UP
C-cute!
Alright so I've made it back to the point I was right before Cheren bowled me over and kicked me in the teeth here:
>>28165212
>>28166415
I think I have a much better lineup this time around. With any luck I can paralyze Munchlax and deal with him before he gets too many boosts.
How difficult is Theta Emerald?
Decent Drayano difficulty or horseshit Drayano difficulty? (BB2/VW2 challenge mode.)
Easier than both?
I want a challenge and as much variety in Pokemon as possible. I'm not aware of any B2/W2 hacks outside of BB/VW and I'm tired of that fucking opening.DUDE, TALKING TALKING ACTING TALKING
>>28168991
Fucking Metronome Rock Wrecker. What are the odds? I think Hugh maybe my only chance against Morty as he is the only one that can learn a dart-type move?
>>28169112
Remade this and I think it came out much better.
>>28169153
I'll try Koffing but can't risk Staryu cause of my Electric weakness.
>>28169457
wooper
>>28169502
I just said I can't risk water types because of my Electric weakness.
>>28169524
Wooper is also a ground-type, ya dingus
>>28169524
wooper is water/ground
it's also bulky as fuck
>>28169524
What is ground?
>>28169532
>>28169541
>>28169545
It has 25 base SpDef, even a neutral Thunderbolt would be enough to hit it to the red if not outright kill it
>>28169566
But it's a ground type
Luxio's Intimidate and a clutch paralysis from Spark saved the day from Mars' Purugly.
Once I get to Eterna Forest, Zubat and Starly are going to get some much needed training.
>>28169342
And done. Paralysis did the trick, although I damn near lost Lissa to a Metronome Stone Edge. I made it through without casualties, but now I'm back to playing blind. And I get the feeling that this won't be the last time I have to restart this run.
>>28169566
Ground is IMMUNE to electric type attacks regardless of what other types it has, you dense motherfucker.
>>28169566
>neo/vp/
>>28169566
This is why Pokemon games have been getting retardedly easy these days
>>28169572
>>28169583
yeah and then water is weak to it so it cancels out and makes it neutral. I'm gonna go with Exeggcute since it resists Electric and has decent SpDef
>>28169583
Why are you levitating?
>>28169598
Learn the game
>>28169566
>>28169598
>>28169598
ground is immune to electric so quagsire can't he hit by electric moves, it also has the same base specdef as exeggutor but it's up to you my dude
>>28169598
2 x 0 = 0 anon
>>28169602
Aw shit that's supposed to be the ground? Anyway I couldn't put them down there anyway, the images I have for the trainer/pokemon don't have transparent backgrounds.
>>28169660
Just... use Bulbapedia?

FORGOT TO SAVE WHY DON'T YOU JUST KILL ME NOW
on the upside, this means 4 lives have been saved, but i was honestly getting into my new team and i had grinded them quite a bit so this still sucks, but eh. lesson learned.
Stopping here for tonight. Destroyer the Delibird is actually living up to his name. He decimated two whole routes and I bet he's a sure shot to sweep Clair. I can't wait.
But can any of you guys remind me of what the fuck I need to do to make Team Rocket fuck off from Goldenrod? I don't think I can get into the Dragon's Den until I do but I just don't remember where to go.
>>28170062
It's been a fucking age and a half but iirc you have to go through the underground to get around them and into the radio tower. Either that or enter town from the south side or something.
>>28170062
Have you cleared out the Rocket Base in Mahogany, caught/killed the shiny Gyarados in Lake of Rage, beat Chuck, Jasmine and Pryce, and tried entering through both the Radio Tower and the Department Store in Goldenrod?
>>28170062
you need to go to the underground area (where the two hairdresser brothers are, there's an entrance across from bill's house), get the card key, then go back to the radio tower and enter the locked area
>>28170108
>>28170144
>>28170161
A-ha, got it now, I think. There were Rockets blocking the entrance to the Radio Tower but now I'm able to get in. There was nothing of note in either the Department Store basement or Underground Tunnel though?
I've lost count the number of times Rattata blew my chances of getting a new Pokemon. Fuck them.
>>28170186
you need to go through the radio tower first, when you get to the top there's a key that unlocks a door in the underground
also where did you get houndoom from in crystal? i thought that was postgame
>>28170215

>>28170215
>>28170215
Gotcha, thanks.
And I subbed it in for Cyndaquil at the start of the game; I've never even used a Houndoom, period, because of Johto's stupidass pokemon distribution so I thought I'd spice things up
>>28169690
Defeated Morty. Hugh died but his death was not in vain. He tricked Gengar into using all his sucker punches and finished him off with pursuit.
Dream Eater took him down in the end and Chaika took care of the rest with Petal Blizzard

>>28169583
Progress report. Trained a bit on lower Route 20 and caught a Horsea off the small lip curb in the south part of the city just enough north that you aren't in the complex.
Dunno if that's excessive rules lawyering or not, but the game apparently thought so since once I was in the worksite proper, an area crawling with growlithe and other actually decent mons, my first encounter was a fucking voltorb that I couldn't even catch due to a crit.
I'm stopping for now, taking on Roxie's gym next time, hopefully won't get destroyed by her like I did against Cheren on my first attempted run.
I think this is the start of a beautiful journey
>>28170567
i don't see why it has to be a girl
should i tackle sprout tower as soon as my team is strong enough for it (which will be very soon) or should i wait till evening to improve my chances of getting a good first encounter?
pic related is the team rn, got a silcoon, a nincada, and a makuhita boxed. should i swap anything out for one of these?
>>28169189
Just beat the 3rd gym leader, Lt. Sur- I mean Liz and Ta- I mean Ban and Lem with no losses, which is great.
Taking on the first gym. I managed to avoid any encounters on Route 20 and killed the Azurill on the ranch so I have 2 Pokemon instead of 3. I hope this goes well
>>28171159
This is BB/VW right? Good fucking luck.
>>28171172
No, just normal challenge mode. I tried a normal run of BB/VW and was surprised so I couldn't do a Nuzlocke of it.
Shameful
http://webm.land/media/Uzsi.webm
>>28171352
oh man that's rough, you did p well considering your team was p weak but in the end cheren's still a cunt and grinding early game is hell in bw2
alright, did some more grinding etc and i am liking my team quite a lot, feeling p comfortable going into sprout tower later today when i have time. hunky learned crabhammer which is a hilarious move to have at this stage of the game, probably one shots p much anything that doesn't resist it. dirt's kinda falling behind but i'll feed it some birds and whatnot in sprout tower and once it reaches level 15 it gets magnitude and basically becomes unstoppable. aladdin's taking a while to get a decent stab move so it's tough to grind it up, luckily dray threw an exp share at me.
actually saved this time, no more fuckups.
New run with quick shitty screenshots until I'm motivated enough to make an actual team picture.
ded?
>>28173011
Hopefully not, just trying to find a template for a new run myself.
>>28171352
you should have vine whipped when you were at red health with snivy, i think 2x growth + stab + overgrow would have been enough
>>28172405
What hack is this senpai
Anyone know of a good template for a Y Nuzlocke? Preferably something with a lot of room to write flavor text.
>>28173390
>those abilities still exist
Oh shit it's been so long since I gave them any thought
Luckily Route 4 is available before Burgh in B/W2 and Sewers and Passage are separate locations, thanks to this I was able to get my team from 3 to 6 and for now it's rather balanced when it comes to types.
I caught first pokemon I found in the sewers after the rival GTFO'd and I could single battle again, hope it wasn't much of a stretch. If /vp/ shitstorms I'll just box Skorupi.
>>28170588
And I'm back. About to take on Roxie, a bit off topic but I have to say this "gym" is fucking cute as hell. I think I get a bit of why people love Roxie so much here.
>>28174194
>randomized TMs and TM compatibility
>tfw only poke in your team that can learn Lava Plume is Glaceon
>>28174274
To the anon who predicted at the start of my run that I'd wipe to the second gym: Eat shit, but I can see where you were coming from. That Toxic Spikes/Venoshock combo is fucking brutal and if I hadn't had Ziggy on my team I'd have been done for.
Even then she still forced me to take my first loss. RIP Bruce the Horsea. You weren't with us long, and you got used for cannon fodder, but a sacrifice had to be made.
Going to start fire red omega soon
Anything I should know about before I get my shit kicked in?

It's Meme Sapphire with a couple personal modifications.
Changed the overworld sprites for May (171/173/175/176/314/316) to Female Magma Grunt (200) and Brendan (172/174/177/178/315/317) to Male Aqua Grunt (204)
Also looked in the .bin file where Birch asks if you're a boy or a girl and changed the .pngs to the Grunt .pngs
Since the Grunts don't have running or tiptoeing animations, whenever I do either they just freeze up in a civilian pose and glide around, and May still throws the Pokeball at the beginning of a battle since Magma Grunt doesn't have that kind of 3D animation.
And I've probably fucked something up when editing everything, since this is my first time doing it. Probably did something stupid like accidentally changed the bike texture to the Aqua Grunt's model.
Anyways, no deaths as of yet, heading on through Petalburg Woods. Hopefully I get another Fire type soon, both to be more Magma-ish and to resist Bug moves better. I'm terrified of Bug Bites on half my team
sup
i made template
u guys rike it? anything else to add?
>>28175489
cute :3
upload psd?
I'm absolutely fucking pissed. Just, absolutely pissed. I don't care if it's cheating, I'm saying that team wipe didn't count. I have exactly 0 Pokémon under level 30 on my team. I'm fighting a level 30 Goldeen that a trainer has. 5 Horn Drills land in a row. No misses. On higher leveled mons. That's not even RNG fuckery, that's just not how the move even works.Can I justify my actions? Horn Drill isn't even supposed to be able to hit my Pokémon.
>>28175575
h-here ya go bby

>>28175723
thanks <3 might use it for a future run
>>28175672
I remember my denial over my Pokemon's deaths. Its alright man, it happens, its part of life, remember their sacrifice and strive to be better. The move likely had an accuracy of anywhere from 15-25% still, you just got unlucky.
>>28175672
>Can I justify my actions?
No.
Man up or shut up.
which one do i try and catch?
>>28175902
Do you have the rom modified to allow trade evolutions to become normal evolutions?
>>28175107
Can you upload it?
>>28175914
no but i think haunter would be good enough
on the other hand wurmple will be less of a hastle to train and get good quick
>>28175951
Go with Ghastly/Haunter for sure. If you wan't to make the decision based on stats, Beutifly is close to hautner in stats but Haunter is slightly better. Dustox is just abysmal.
http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/haunter
http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/beautifly
http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/dustox
>>28175672
That actually is possible. Move accuracy doesn't go into the negatives, so despite your higher level, that means the base accuracy was 0% + 30%.
Horn Drill always has a 30% chance to hit regardless of level, that is the absolute lowest it can be, with it going higher due to levels. You were just incredibly unlucky.
>>28175995
>>28175951
Haunter Is a tad squishier though
nvm it used curse lol
>>28175764
>>28175778
I was hella cheated though.
>>28176011
No, it cannot hit my Pokémon. They were a higher level. It's the equivalent of EQ hitting a Flying type or a Pokemon with Levitate. My Pokémon were not legal targets for damage.
>>28176069
What was the gen/hack and your levels?
>>28176155
Randomized Platinum, 32's and 33's against a 30.
>>28176301
The description in >>28175672 is for Gen 2.
>>28176301
Then you may have accidentally randomized moves/accuracy.
>>28176353
I realize that. It's a cropped in photo of >>28175672. As you can see in that one, there hasn't been any change since Gen 2 that would affect this situation.
>>28176455
I did not randomize moves/accuracy, only wild 'mons.
Is fast forwarding on emulators while grinding frowned upon? I don't want to do it but platinum's glacially paced engine is making me strongly consider it.
>>28176529
That depends on what you feel is right. If you lost someone on the 3rd gym and need to get that level 9 to level 35, I wouldn't feel bad at all. If you need to grind up everyone just 1 more level, fine, do what you want, it's your game, just make sure you're having fun, that's the biggest thing. If you're trying to be 5 levels above the gym leader's strongest so you don't get any loses, that's very, very frowned upon because it kills the sport of the game.
>>28176489
That is why I said accidentally. Otherwise, that Goldeen was just a beast.
>>28176529
I don't personally think so, but if you're doing a randomizer then don't bother, it'll go by fast enough anyways.
>>28176529
I used to frown upon people fast-forwarding through training. My logic was that you effectively spend less time with your Pokémon, so you don't grow as attached to them.
I know one case means nothing, but I lost three Pokémon the other day, including my starter, and I didn't give a shit. All of that, through 27 hours of real life playing, beating Koga at Fuschia Gym (Fire Red Omega).
Well, I managed to beat Winona but not without a pretty heavy cost, I'll need to grind up some replacements. Also lost my Luxray at the Weather Institute so it's been a rough hour.

You're replying to your own nuzlocke post, Briel.
I beat Elesa! I lost Krookodile to the subway bosses right before the gym so I was kinda worried. Fortunately I only lost the two pokemon I didn't train at all.
My entire team is weak to ground except for Purugly so I'm hoping I get a wingull/ducklett on the bridge and then a good ice- or grass- type on the routes next to Driftveil.
This is VW2 Regular and I'm using

>>28176723
Fuck. With Houndoom dead, I've got a pretty bad Ice weakness on my team. Out of everyone in my box, there's really no one I can pick who won't compound my pre-existing Water or Electric weakness. I can't take one pokemon as is without setting myself up for failure.
Clearly, there's only one option.
Welcome to the team, Smuckers. You are who you choose to be.
I don't even know what rom hack I should play. I just want to play something similar to Theta Emerald. GBA game with an abundance of pokemon.
Burgh has randomed a steel type, which I have nearly nothing neutral, let alone effective against. Almost lost Cranidos to Gear Grind.
Fuck everything, Lava Plume Glaceon it is.
>>28174993
I wasn't thinking that far ahead to be honest, but I wouldn't have been able to bring myself to do that anyway, she's been too bro-tier to ditch. She even survived a Metronome Stone Edge from Cheren's Munchlax with only 4 HP to finish it off when I couldn't safely switch into anyone else.

Just made it through Eterna forest. I hate forced tag teams in Nuzlockes because I'm afraid they'll kill something good. I got a (level 10) Wurmple though, which isn't bad. It won't know the relatively good move it would learn at 10 upon evolving, but it would still be good for the next gym. I already have a Staravia too, so it should be fairly easy.
>>28177542
Tip: You can cheat really hard core in there becauseChansey does a lot of damage for you and takes none of the XP, meaning you get 2x the XP in the same amount of time.IMO, using this with one pokemon is more than enough.

Fucking tin penguins. Swords dance no matter the status, wake up almost instantly, don't care about confusion. No idea how I actually managed not to lose anything. Healing items and lots of luck in the shape of lack of crits, I guess. Literally running back and forth between gym and PC after every trainer.
>tfw Minccino can actually stall with Cute Charm, Tickle and Eviolite for long enough to get shit done.
>tfw it can tank a selfdestruct and lose less than half of max HP
I never used this pokemon before and I regret it. It's badass.
At least the last one was easy due to weakness to water. Goddamn Lairon literally roared through my entire team.
Going for Burgh. I swear, if he gets some stupid OP type combination, I'll get mad.
>>28177352
Thank you anon. This is what I wanted.

>>28178159
Nope sorry pal
so why the fuck are the trainers in sprout tower of such a low level? like, level 8 is the minimum level for wild mons in here iirc, how the fuck are the trainers weaker than the wild mons? now i feel overleveled ;_;
>>28178159
uhhh this is like the #1 thing to do when you're nuzlocking, unless you're talking about deliberately overgrinding, that's kinda frowned upon
It has been a very eventful day. But Delibird the Destroyer kicks more ass than you'd ever expect and Smuckers, with the right support, is actually a real threat to the absurd trainer AI. Lots of fun.
It's always rough to lose a starter. Up next is Clair, and then, well...here's to the home stretch.I don't think I'm gonna go for Red; I'll take E4 champ as a victory. I wanna move on.
>>28178203
leveling my 3poke team to lvl16 before brock in a romhack where he uses a lvl15 kabuto is considered "overgrinding"?
>>28177999
Trips of truth. Always when nobody wants them.
Fuck Burgh and his Magnezone.
Scizor and Excadrill were a bit easier, even though the latter Metal Claw crit'd my Ducklett. Shame, was a good in offense, though to be fair I wasn't that attached to it. Other than that, Lava Plume Glaceon a hero, with him and small help of Sigilyph's Hypnosis I was able to wreck. The mistake was throwing Ducklett at the Excadrill to finish the job, but oh well. Crits. Happens.

Sorry about that, in the moment I was just going for the Ziggy Starly pun.
>>28178277
generally people use the gym leader's ace's level as a benchmark/clause, although it's fine to be a level or two above it. some people have the tendency to grind up to a point where losing a mon is hardly even a possibility anymore though, which is just stupid since it defeats the whole excitement of a locke. as long as you keep the grinding reasonable, people will be fine with it (and you'll have more fun playing the game too, assuming you're not one of those rare people who genuinely enjoys grinding and grinding and grinding)
>>28178328
nah it's chill ahaha, could've gone for "Starlyman" or some shit while u were doing david bowie puns tho
>>28178203
Did you used the patch that changes everything or it's a pre-patched rom? Because it could be a latter version of the hack.
Anyone got a good name for a Strawberry Charmeleon?
>>28178460
i'm playing w/ sacred gold patch
>>28176787
mmmmm yes is this a rommmmmm perhaps........ i dont want to hax my Toody-S but i would love to place this version....
oh man which one should i take
>>28178470
Also he's a Strawizard now
>>28178277
the leader's ace is normally where the grinding cutoff is, though some people like to do gym leader's lowest level pokemon. I give or take a few levels if it'll give you a key move or evolution.
>>28178670
Easy pick. Leafeon
>>28178670
None
>>28178713
just checked, brock has three lvl18 pokemon on red dx challenge (kabuto, geodude and onyx)
screw it i'm grinding
>>28178670
Jolteon if you want to steamroll Falkner
Vaporeon if you want the best eeveelutionthere's water-types everywhere though
Glaceon is really good
Leafeon if you're worried about finding a water resist and are confident about Falkner.
RIP Sawsbuck and Cofagrigus. Sawsbuck died to protect the rest of the team from Nidoking Hell, and Cofagrigus died to protect us from Excadrill Hell. Have to pick up Zorua and something from Chargestone Cave and we're ready to fuck with Team Plasma.
>>28178743
hmm i am quite confident about falkner since my team's looking fine and has a geodude and shit but idk if good electric types are very common in this game, vappy really is the best but water types truly can be found around every corner, leafeon's kinda cool but i already have a bulbasaur and a backup bellsprout in case im an idiot and allow bulba to die. glaceon might be the best pick here, its slowness and bad defensive typing always scared me off from using it tho but on the other hand i do like the way it looks and it's strong as all fuck. how's espeon btw? fast psychic types tend to be p sweet.
Whats a good place to grind for fuschia gym between the city and route 12?
>>28178943
Exclusively train with the bikers at the top of the road. Good XP m8
>>28178203
You're hella overleveled for sprout tower.
I was about 9/10 when i went in.
And i think you're playing a different one because i dont recall seeing any mons under 10, idk fo sure
>>28178226
Do Red, DO IT
>>28178829

Gonna take a break now.
>>28178887
Glaceon helps a lot against Bugsy and his fucking Scyther.
>>28179133

Thanks mate.
Would 41 be a good cap?
>>28179133
i downloaded it from here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/pok%C3%A9mon-sacred-gold-storm-silver.327567/
might be outdated? idk
I want to start a vanilla Pokémon Red Nuzlocke and leave my Omega run for later.
I downloaded a Pokémon Red rom and I'm using TGB Dual. There's this strange stutter in the sprites, as if they move when they should stay still (happens only when I'm moving).
Is this normal?
>>28178366
>Starlyman
Fuck me how did I not think of that.
>>28179217
Did you used the complete or the classic patch?
>>28179133
the elder's hoothoot was lvl 14 btw, so i didn't end up being too overleveled i suppose
>>28179265
complete
>new route
>tfw a Pupitar
>tfw you'll probably not gonna use it anyway unless things go south, since you have both a rock and a dark type and one is a starter.
Well, still a good catch. I need a name for it, it's a male. Bonus points for it ending with -zilla.
this should be enough to take on falkner, right?
got the thing to turn eevee into glaceon btw, not using it yet tho since its next ice-type level up move will only happen at level 23, might as well keep my adaptability tackle till then
>>28179161
what font did you use for Sacred Gold
>>28179191
>cap at 41
>facing level 45's with a 50 ace
No. No it would not.
>>28179520
>he didn't evolve at level 12
I think you'll be fine.
>>28179520
I really don't want to give much away without you're okay of it, but i can post an image of my pokemon levels during the fight if you want
And that's all for right now. We managed to rebuild and make it through Plasma Frigate. If I recall correctly there's some tough trainers in Chargestone Cave, so hopefully we don't lose anyone. Then onto Skylawho I'm very scared for because Archeops and Gliscor and Togekiss are all VERY difficult
>>28179709
Im play FireRed. Koga's ace is 43.
Could somebody inform me why cut (hm01) was super effective against my Graveler (rock/ground) from Bugsy's Scyther and how a Lickitung in Goldenrod's underground was super effective against my Shellos (water)?
yeah this proved to be quite the cakewalk. hunky's crabhammer tears shit apart. drayano's farfetch'd revamp is insane tho, base 110 attack and base 105 speed?
>>28179728
won't be necessary bruv
>>28179714
i had no idea i'd get a stone this quickly so my eevee was level 13 by the time i reached the elder, oops
>>28179807
at least it's not atriple battle like in bb/vw1 which fucking ended my run
>>28179909
Fuck me, im an idiot. It's changed to grass. I'm gonna drink some clorox. When I checked it previously I thought I still saw it as normal type
>>28179909
your sg/ss doownload should've come with a bunch of documents that detail changes that have been made to already existing mons, moves etc. cut is a 60 bp grass move in drayano hacks, for example, so that's why
>>28178470
>>28178695
Barry
>tfw HMs are about to knock out 2 spots for your team
Well now...this is unfortunate. Maybe I should level them just in case.
>>28179976
I think what threw me off yesterday when I looked at it was that the HM disc is the normal type color instead of green which it was changed too, and that put a false notion into my head. And then just moments ago it finally clicked for me.
what's the rule with eggs again? does it count as an encounter in the area you received it in or the area it hatches in?
>>28180083
If its a gift then no to both i believe.
>>28180083
I'd say where received.
>>28180109
hmm well i prefer to consider gifts encounters (otherwise things might become too easy, what with drayano already throwing gifts left and right)
>>28180146
yeah i suppose so too, guess this egg will be permaboxed then, professor elm can go fuck himself i s'pose
haha too bad this is a nuzlocke
>>28180083
I've always counted it where you received it from personally as opposed to where it hatches, because you could get caught up in things and it happens to hatch anywhere. You could also abuse it if it was where it hatched due to the daycare and where you could actually go, you could fly to towns and just hatch new Pokemon or to certain places where there is no grass/pokemon and so on.
I count it where its received, though I don't count story required things, such as Gen 2/4 Togepi. But say Gen 2/4 Slugma in that town counts as that town's catch.

which strategy would be good against the lvl18 kabuto that loooooves to rock slide everyone?
This is gonna take a while to grind. What do you guys usually do whike grinding?

This is my progress on my first ever Nuzlocke, with Soulsilver! Currently on Route 30, past Cherrygrove City.
Chikorita has Spacial Rend and Dizzy Punch, lol.

Hey, I'm also playing SG.
I took the Water Stone for Eevee by mistake.
I forgot you have to nickname them so I'll start over when Bugsy rapes my team for the 10th time.
Using post number to roll for AS starter, always use mudkip in general and on my ruby run I won

Fuck Proton. Fuck his koffing.
Regular trainers are giving me more trouble than Gyms now. Janine went down without a hitch.
Oak gave me two Kanto starters, but I thought that was a little much so I flipped a coin and Charmander is the survivor.
Weird that Janine and Koga still use Venomoth, since it loses it's poison type in SG/SS
>>28180896
>>28180971

Alright, you definitely stepped your game up from last time Cyrus. You still lost though.
got an aron in union cave, should i take it with me for bugsy? in that case, who will get swapped out?
team's >>28179520 but higher levels and aladdin is an ivysaur now
>>28181815
Swap out dirt if anybody.
>>28181815
Yes.
Stop using two starters, scrub.
>>28181833
i guess it makes the most sense in terms of type coverage on my team, but dirt does evolve way earlier which might make it more useful early game
>>28181455
Derp. Wanted to Scout out Erika's gyn and Hoor got Leafstormed by a frickin' Sunflora that held on with less then 10 hp.
Who do I pick?
I also noticed a lot of my favourite mons are poison-typed. Who knew.
>>28181162
Bugsy update
Staravia sweep GG
His team had 1 bug which was Illuminose
Overleveled a bit, Staravia was lvl 24 and his best was 21
wew
Platinum random off to a good start. Damn you reach a lot of zones before the first gym though...
Shinx was the starter. Worried after I lost Stinker for the first them until I got Ernie and now it'll be ezpz.
>>28182164
so. already there's been a barely averted disaster.
starter almost died to a crit with the rival's starter having almost no damage. for some reason it switched over to lowering Pelegrino's defense instead of just killing it--i'm the luckiest piece of shit right now
these things are hard when you suck at photoshop
>>28170588
How'd you get that horsea?
Also best of wishes, bolt black 2 shit on me and wiped the floor with me.
>>28178470
can you post download for that rom in a mega?
>>28182584
Went down near the water using the stairs in south Virbank, followed the lip back into the city, and fished.
>>28179909
shellos doesn't become ground type until after it evolves
>>28180083
there isn't a real rule, just follow your heart. personally, I'd just count it for wherever it hatches.
Time for the Elite 4.
>>28169457
Beat the seventh gym and lost my Smoochum against a Selfdestruct.
>>28169502
I trained up Wooper and holy shit Earthquake is the best thing ever. Thanks for the advice.
>>28169524
I don't know who said this but it wasn't me.
what do you guys do after you finish a nuzlocke?do you delete the save file?
How do people handle the Desert Resort? Same as Pinwheel Forest, or just one area?
>>28183368
How do people handle Pinwheel Forrest?
>>28183421
Pinwheel clause. Pinwheel Forest though has extremely different encounters, Desert Resort doesn't. Only about 2 are different for the Desert Resort.
>>28182877
Well, that wasn't too hard. There were a couple of scary moments, but I won with no casualties.
This was my first randomized run and it was pretty fun. I'll definitely do another one in the future, but for my next run I'll do either FireRed Omega or Sacred Gold.
>>28178625
So give me a list of file types you can use to play it so I can try and see if I can change it.
The only ones I know of are .cia and .3ds and you can turn the former into the latter really easily by extracting and rebuilding it using HackingToolkit
>>28169336
realy cute, how its the rest of the 4ht gen sprites? i realy want to play but its strange to have some girls with pokes. its all either poke or cute lolis

>>28183594
ur pretty good, i never finished a nuzlocke, its 3 hard
how difficult is x & y to nuzlocke?with minimum use of exp. all
>>28183771
The beginning and the end are hard. Some of the trainers, especially double battles, can kick your ass throughout the game.
If you're using Mega Evos, it becomes 10x easier.
>>28183771
The EXP Share thing is a meme. All it does is make it so you don't have to go out of your way to grind up. XY is pretty hard if you don't know what's coming. They throw a lot of ridiculous shit at you sometimes.
>>28183368
Counted it as one area, and was able to get to,the desert part. So happy with this catch. Just kind of useless for the next gym.
>>28183839
And forgot pic.
>>28183690
Thanks anon. You'll win one someday. I failed a bunch before I ever won one.
>>28183771
There's a few hard spots like the double Furfrou battle, Reflection Cave, and Frost Cavern, but most of it's easy.

Do any of you make Nuzlocke comics? I've been thinking about doing one but have no idea on how to start. Any advice on drawing tablets or programs I can use other than paint?

no

I can give plenty of advice. But don't do fucking nuzlocke comics. They're not fun nor interesting
Finally, Mob has been in the bench sucking exp since I caught him.
>>28183860
Had a decent night so far. Leveled up Lisa to be even with the rest of the team, though did lose my Patrat to a crit Fire Fang from a Patrolman's Growlithe. Also traded the Cottonee I had for a Petilil as back up in case anything happens to Servine.
>>28184389
Porygon2 is something beyond a bro, he's so fucking broken. I almost dropped Cacturn and Claydol because their prevos couldn't keep up
>>28184505
>>28184567
I think nuzlocke comics are cool, but you should only share them if you're funny, but since you're probably not, make them for your own enjoyment in the story of locke
I feel like 90% of all moves available in gen 1 are normal type moves.
Just beat my first nuzlocke, all my previous attempts ended at Winona or earlier.

well that was embarassing
couldn't even do a pretty chart
I didn't even remember that I had to fight Barry, but I thought I was in for an easy fight. Levels 38-40, his ace Infernape is a 38?
I swept his team without too much damage. A few in orange due to some swap outs for type advantage.
Then Heracross hits like a brick. Porygon was an Ice type due to Conversion v Roserade, but I didn't think it would even matter that much. Porygon2 is on the high end of decently quick. I hit Recover and got out sped by Brick Break. Down it went.
I was mad, sent in Cacturn to drop Leech Seed and swap out. Brick Break drops him too, with my level advantage I thought she'd survive the one hit, but she didn't.
Now I'm mad, I send in Claydol for Psybeam or Hyperbeam if necessary. Brick Break wouldn't wor well on him. Guess what? Barry's Heracross knows Night Slash.
I sent out Feraligatr for neutral damage just to end the battle. My team has been broken.
Twitch (Porygon2) was the best bro I ever had, it was the best sweeper, best defender. Twitch singlehandedly broke the aces of Gardenia through Crasher Wake.
Tipsy the Baltoy carried its weight. Tipsy the Claydol fucking destroyed.
Pokey the Cacnea didn't do shit. I nearly dropped him. Once he learned Faint Attack, he was dropping opponents left and right, and then he evolved and became the 2nd best mon on my team.
With no other Grass types in my box, Thesaurus the Feraligatr will have to be retired so Cinnamon can be taken in. Snuffles will be his replacement.
I was all set to take on the gym and get my 6th badge with that team. Everyone on that team was from before the third gym, the rest from before the second.
It's time to get training.
TLDR; I lost to a faggot and became one myself.
And thus begins a new journey. I'm playing Pokemon Nameless Fire Red.

Quick update. Made some movies, dealt with Team Plasma yadda yadda. Their new theme is pretty alright but I don't know what's up with their new look.
Went to Castellia. While clearing out the battle company Lissa evolved twice and is now an offensive powerhouse for the time being. Turned down the starter gift, never liked the idea of using more than one starter since the first time it happened to me in XY.
Going to see what I can get from the surrounding areas before taking on the Gym here (if there even still is one, I'm assuming if the first two weren't on the mainland some of the gyms wont be around anymore). I'l need the exp from trainers anyway.
And so a new Nuzlocke starts...
I had originally planned to play Pokémon Red. Then I remembered there is very little point in playing it, but I'm still keeping the sprites from the original games (colorized by some people) despite this being a FireRed run.

Well that was quick. I lost. That Amaura swept my team. It had charge beam and it was faster than my froakie and rest of my team.
I think I should just change the difficulty, maybe I shouldn't have the levels match Gym leader's. I should also make it a level or two higher I think.

Ok, let's try again. I put this on "easy" difficulty this time. Medium was just way too much for I guess. I also limit the levels at least a level or two higher than the gym leaders.
done for the night, here is my current team before union cave in storm silver. entered for a sec and caught the machop but went back to heal. Il take it on tomorrow, good night /vp/
Artemisia is a fucking goddess and landed every hit against Brock despite being confused for 5+ turns. Completely made up for Arioch accidentally not having a water move. Sort of a pile of garbage because of that, but hey, I won. Lets see if I can get to Cerulean City without fucking up horrendously.
