I can't keep getting away with this

I have suffered multiple team wipes, being left with a lv8 machop at one point. I lost my bro shellos named Rick. And now, I'm facing the ghost type gym leader with nothing but these guys. Choppa can't hit ghosts (no foresight), Chinkling is psychic so no chance for him, while Fiddi (meant to name it Fiddo after my dog) learns bite at lv 29. The grind is real. I also fucked up when naming Toge.

Give Chingling the Soothe Bell and bike around Hearthome City until you have around 40000 more steps on the pedometer. It evolves at night, so then you'll have Chimecho aka the Lord Chimecho.

Heading to Drayden. Took someone's advice to use Lickilicky and killed her on what would've been her last training battle. Trying Peliper with Blizzard as my backup. This one may be dicey boys.

I tried to get citra to work for my pc, but I said I'm missing MCSVP140.dll, or something similar to that.

Now, I reinstalled the visual component from the microsoft website, but it still won't work.

And I know this is all bullshit, because last week I was playing age of decadence, and had the same problem. But I was able to get age of decadence to work.

Reposting since I didn't see there was a new thread I guess.

I beat Jupiter's Skuntank this time, but lost Crashhawk, my Staravia. He was the highest level one I had. Fell INSTANTLY to a OHKO crit Night Slash. I switched to my newest member, Silver the Bronzor and confused it. It hit itself only once, and Silver dropped to ONE HP and landed a Hypnosis. Switched in my Monferno and he was able to win it. Down to four members, but have and Onix and Geodude in the box and got a Skull Fossil on my first dig spot underground.

Warlocke Rules:
1: Standard Nuzlocke Rules. (1 catch per area, Fainting = dead, dupes clause, etc.)
2: Every name has to be war themed. (Military Ranks, vehicles, weapons etc.)
3: May not use healing items on active the Pokemon. (Medics on the front line get shot)
4: May not bring more than 5 of any item after stocking up in shops. (Resources are scarce in war)
5: After the 6th Pokemon is obtained no other Pokemon may be drafted into the squad unless it's to replace a fallen Pokemon. Additional Pokemon are kept in PC as reserves. (Squad sticks together, no man left behind)
6: Be as brooding and cliche as possible when making updates. ("War changes people", "I can still hear their screams", "What are we even fighting for?", "I wish this war would end", etc)

Things are looking up for this campaign. We've made it to Vermilion city without being noticed by the Enemy, but the base of Lt. Surge is heavily fortified. Fortunately our intel suggests that there is specialist on the S.S Anne who can get us in. It may be a stab in the dark, but it's better than surrendering.

While looking into the matter the troops will resume their training. The new recruit, Corporal Meowth, needs to be brought up to speed on our mission and the boot camp is starting to fill up. It's the calm before the storm...

"War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today."

There aren't that many types of Pokemon on the routes where I caught Bidoof. I already have a Staravia, the most I'm missing out on is a Budew, Shinx or Kricketot. I guess if I caught a Budew earlier I could have a Buneary or Wurmple from the forest, but I don't really mind so much.

Aside from Staravia and Bidoof I also have Turtwig, Geodude and Shellos.

There wasn't much need to update between gyms since there's only one route, though a 5 level gap between the gym's aces is pretty rough when there's not much in between. I didn't pick up a Goomy on Route 14, accidentally wandered in the water and got a Stunfisk instead. I easily made it to Laverre, and fought some of the gym trainers for XP. Going into the battle, I was a little worried. Slyveon is tanky as fuck, and I didn't have any Poison or Steel moves to do SE work for me. For the Valerie fight I decided to run with:

Heady Topper- Just learned EQ, making him strongest Physical Attacker.

Plebbit- Highest Special D, has Toxic

Balloob- High HP, relatively bulky, and has Thunder Wave/Hex for boosted status damage.

Fight went like this

>Heady vs Mawile, OHKO with Earthquake
>Heady vs Mr. Mime, Reflect goes up, still 2HKO with Earthquake
> Heady vs Sylveon, didn't want to risk it, switched to Plebbit
> Plebbit vs Sylveon, got a Toxic out as it bashed me into red with Dazzling Gleam. Also got a Petal Blizzard out, Sandstorm was still in effect, switched to Balloob when it got hairy
> Balloob vs Sylveon, Manages to take a hit and outspeed for status boosted Hex, KO.

Second hardest for me, below the Grant fight by miles though. Glad I got everyone through, next up is Pokeball Factory.

I'm calling this run over. I don't have the gusto to train another team up that far again. What an amazing run, More then I even expected. My last team were true MVP's down to the very last moments.

My only regrets is that I could have saved Veronica If I had Hyper potioned instead of using Drain punch on Kengashkhan, I thought Veronica would have been ten times faster but I was gravely mistaken.

Webms soon! Also If anybody has any tips on how to make the webm's louder without my own ears getting blasted in the process I'd appreciate it so I can make higher quality Webms.

Gotta make sure Bad Poosey gains some levels now, because it's what you need.
Also, I think I will finally have a full team once I visit the next routes. I hope first encounter is a Trubbish.

Rocky the Golem was killed by a surfing Raichu right before victory road. I need a replacement that isn't weak to either ice or electric.

Who should I use?

How do you grind for red effectively in HG? Right now, I'm doing the following, my team is in the Mid 60's levelwise:

>Grind entire team to Lv. 75 through gym leader rematches and Mt. Silver wild Pokemon grinding
>Challenge the Pokemon League to build levels until everyone is at the Lv. 80-85 required for Red

Only thing is that the Pokemon League would be risky to challenge just for grinding's sake. I already lost a team member to one of Blue's gym trainers and I imagine it'd be even worse when everyone is around Lv. 75, as I'd have to build a Pokemon up to that level from scratch.

Are there any improvements I could make to this training method? Should I just stick with Mt Silver/Gym leader grinding until everyone is in the 80s?

Beat Whitney! Poor Atlas was KO'd by a gym trainer's bibarel while locked into Uproar. Mumbo was sacrificed because he was already paralyzed and didn't help nearly as much as I thought he would (fuck attract). I was going to box him to get Trigon back in anyways, but I'm butthurt we don't have him for Chuck.
I think Rivalry is the worst ability ever created but it did wonders against this gym.

Currently we're doing pokeathlon which is annoying as hell with a mouse, but jump competition is all taps so it's working out, I'm getting about 500 points per win so I can snag a dusk stone for Trigon. My question is, should I also get a metal coat and evolve scyther before the gym, or save his evolution until after I beat chuck for STAB wing attack? I'm concerned for rock slide but I do have charti berries.

An anon asked for my template in an earlier thread. I'm using paint.net so it might not be as intuitive to use as templates created for photoshop, but I'm sure it'll work fine. I'll upload a .psd file shortly.

you can have a gym leader cap. so study what your gym leaders highest level is, and don't go over that.

Well, that battle was fucking awful. I underestimated the power of Falkner's Chatot (twice) and lost both Stark and Paula to it. Dennis was merely unlucky, taking a critical Faint Attack from Murkrow.

Marcus was a goddamn champ though. I thought for sure I was going to lose him too when I saw Swablu's Power Herb/Hyper Beam combo come out while Marcus's HP was already in the yellow, but he only took 9 damage. Lily and Zach got in some good hits, but ultimately they were too fagile to stay in for much of the fight.

I suppose I'll head on out to Azalea, but if this was what Falkner has to offer I'm goddamned terrified of what Bugsy and Whitney are going to be like.

Beast Boy bite spammed the first 5 but I switched him out on gengar since he was on like 60% health. Shadow Ball's drops combined with losing natural cure meant Starfire couldn't stall and take Gengar out with magical leaf, so RIP Bumblebee and Kole. Trigon took thunderbolt from full health with 4HP left and got paralyzed, fortunately he was still able to hit with Payback or I would've lost right then and there.
Should've brought a free switch pokemon instead of Trident because of Gengar's Giga Drain. Oh well.

Wish me luck. Or don't, I'm sure a crit will ruin the run like always

Kicked Team Rocket out of the well, unfortunately didn't get a Slowpoke. Did get a Gastly, but his only offensive move right now is Ominous Wind and I guess Curse if you want to stretch it. Getting Slakoth on Route 33 nearly made me close the game, but that's not how this works. Interestingly, He has Slow Start for an ability instead of Truant, which is kind of ok I guess. If he keeps that ability as Slaking he could be great, as so far I've found that Yawn and Slack Off allow for enough stall for Slow Start to wear off. Going to catch them up with the rest of the team, then take on Bugsy.

>>28292390
What's that trainer model, and how do I get it?

>>28292488
save geodude for Scyther, everything else he has will have coverage on it.

>>28292663
Wow, well no shit... I didn't know that even was a thing. Guess I've been sleeping under a rock. Thanks, man!

I literally cheated guys.
I didn't want another Geodude (aka a mon I get at the start of just about every single game I've nuzlocked) despite it being a solid mon, so I ignored it even though it was the first thing I came across and picked up an Onix instead, and now I don't want to play because whenever I look at Onix, I know I fucked up.

How do I deal with this? Onix is arguably much worse than the Geodude line but I just wanted a change of pace

Almost beat chuck without any losses. I'm really upset because had Killowat used Substitute instead of Air Slash against Poliwrath I would've dodged hypnosis and probably solo'd his whole team, but instead he stayed in while sleeping and tanked ice punches until he got to 5% health and woke up for the KO. The rest of the team had to pick up the slack, which was fine for the most part, but when it came down to breloom everyone was low except kingdra, who I knew I couldn't send in on the mach punch, and had to sacrifice Trigon. He will be missed.
I'm thinking Pidgeot will be good for the team, boosted HP and speed along with close combat gives me a moderate speed tanky sweeper. Unless I get miltank/machoke on the safari zone routes. Is Jasmine first?

>>28292773
Fucking deal with it.

The cool thing about Nuzlockes is that you make your own rules. If you don't want ANOTHER geodude, fucking get something else. Then keep playing your nuzlocke.

Thanks for the advice anon, unfortunately it still didn't go very well. I do have a question though before I release Stallone. Does Sturdy just work differently in Gen 4? Because I didn't use him the entire fight up until Scyther, who was his last Pokémon. Rock throw wasn't quite enough to kill, but he used Swords Dance first turn, so I figured I'd be able to eat the hit with Sturdy and kill him on the next turn. Instead he uses U-turn and OHKOs me. Thankfully Marcus outsped him otherwise I would have wiped right there. So what gives?

Evening fellow faggots, I'm about to start a brand new run on a randomized Red version. Dupes clause, don't know what species will be in-game, I allowed all but gen 1 (some gen 1 pokes will probably find their way into the game anyway).

Will update w/more details as they come

So I'm at the route gate between 4 and the desert resort. Should I count the bit of sand before the route gate as a separate encounter from the rest of the desert resort, or should I count it in with the rest of the area?

There are changes in Pokemon but not much. I'd count it as one area. If you want a Scraggy then stay outside, otherwise go in the desert.

The Enemy ambushed us on the S.S Anne. But the troop sent the Enemy forces packing with heavy casualties. This allowed us to reach our contact and learn of the weakness to Lt. Surge's base.

With our armor plated Panzer Surge's forces stood no chance. It wasn't a battle, it was a massacre. We march forward towards Lavender Town through Rock Tunnel. To reach our next target, Commander Erika, we must travel under ground to avoid Enemy scouts.

"Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind."

alright, quite a lot happened since my last update (which I think was the one where I got an overleveled Floatzel and Slowbro)

first off, two new casualties: Loose the Morty slayer and Elegie the Pidgeot stand-in had their lives taken during the fight against Eusine (massive cunt). My team was lvl 31-34 and not ready for the bullshit that is Hypnosis Nasty Plot Hypno. Elegie was in the lead, tanked a Psychic rather well, so I didn't see much of a problem, but the she got hit by a Hypnosis and as I used Full Heal, the cunt got an NP up which meant I was boned. Elegie went down without doing much, so then I sent in Starman the Glaceon. Turns out the fucker had Focus Blast, but thank the hax gods he missed, allowing me to get off an Ice Beam without losing my MVP and longest running member of the team. Didn't do quite as much as I hoped though (barely msised out on the 2hko), and I couldn't bank on another Focus Miss, so I figured the only way to defeat it was for Loose to come in on the predicted Focus Blast and do just enough damage to let an Ice Beam kill. I felt pretty guilty after Loose surprised me with how valuable she was during the fight against Morty, couldn't have done it without her ;_;7

Rest of the battle was pretty easy luckily, Diamanda the Arcanine got in a bit of a tough spot vs Rotom but managed to pull the win. Starman, still at full health, managed to tank Electrode's Explosion, which made me love him even more. I honestly don't even remember Eusine's 4th mon, think it went down in one shot.

Here's the team atm. Ramona was gifted to me in Cianwood, came with Fly and Surf which made Chuck's gym that much easier. Queen Bitch was freshly caught in a Friend Ball just now in the Cliff Cave or whatever. Valentine is a dank ass Pidgeot, Calm nature kinda sucks but Dray gave it Close Combat and an HP and Attack boost, which is good. Davy's a Tentacruel with Giga Drain, seriously amazing mon and a fantastic Water type counter.

Chuck, like I said, mostly got taken down by Sharp Beak-boosted Fly from Ramona, although a Mach Punch from Breloom and an Ice Punch from Hitmonchan (which survived Fly, the cunt) almost killed her. Diamanda's Intimidate shit helped in taking down Primeape and weakening Hariyama to a point where I could get Valentine (still a Pidgeotto back then) in and kill it with a crit Choice band-boosted Pluck. Davy stalled Chuck's Poliwrath without any problems whatsoever, burned thru a few Full Heals tho. rn I'm busy kicking Team Rocket's arses, simply can't wait to face off with an executive and lose more mons haha, sigh.

this is awful. Ariana's Jynx is fucking broken, put Diamanda to sleep which forced me to switch around while it did way too much damage to everything, forcing me to sac Queen Bitch, did about 60% with Ramona's Fly and then made an awful mistake by going for (Magnet-boosted) Thunderbolt, forgetting that Ramona's nature is Jolly and that Jynx has way more special bulk than physical bulk, so it barely survived and gibbed Ramona before I took it out with a Quick Attack.

Then Honchkrow came along and, afraid that I might not be able to outspeed with Starman, I sent in Davy hoping to beat her with Barrier + a few Surfs, but of course she immediately got the Brave Bird crit. Then it turned out Starman was able to outspeed after all, and once more he saved my ass. Ariana is the reason why one shouldn't trust gingers.

Newbie here

any hints on leveling my Pokemon more quickly and optimizing the grinding process?

>>28299291
Turn off battle animations, use the speed up function if you're using an emulator, have your pokemon hold Lucky Egg

>>28299291
Depends which game you're playing. Trainers give more, tougher mons (not just by level) give more, Audinos give a fuck ton. If you can find repeatable trainers do those. Abuse lucky eggs and exp shares.

>>28299291
make a playlist

with half my team gone to shit and the trainers getting close to lvl 40, I figured it was about time for me to whip my Floatzel out. This is its set atm, what coverage move should I choose? My main options are: Brick Break, Dig, Crunch, and Ice Fang (latter two from Heart Scale). Return could also work, except I want to use the TM on my Pidgeot already and Mars is new on the team, so his happiness is probably rather low still.

>>28299291

Turn off battle animations, change Set mode to Shift (if you need to level up one very weak mon and have to constantly change to another one to finish the battle).

That's what I do for grinding. Speed-up function makes me forget I even have mons.

>>28291038

You could easily play the vanilla game with extra rules.

Pokémon is plain boring when you really have nothing to worry about. Fainting? Just lose and try again, you don't lose any exp at all and suffer no real consequences.

At least Nuzlocke makes you take battles more seriously.

Starting a Blaze Black 2 Challenge Mode Nuzlocke in a sec, it'll be my first Nuzlocke ever and my first time playing Black 2 ever (I played it when it first came out but got up to Clay and lost the cart, and have forgot most things up to then anyway). Post number decides starter.
1-3 for Snivy
4-6 for Tepig
7-9 for Oshawott
0 someone else decides.
I'm pretty shit at Pokemon, I understand competitive battling and know what moves are good but not good at strategy at all. Hope it'll be a challenge and I actually survive the first rival fight.

>>28303545
>Starting a Blaze Black 2 Challenge Mode

Anon, i....

Don't make your first run ever of a game a nuzlocke of a romhack that changes a lot of stuff around for the sake of making it difficult. Specially when you're not good enough

If you REALLY want to nuzlocke Black 2 on your first play, do it vanilla

>>28303545
> First nuz.
> Pretty shit at pokemon.
> Not familiar with B2.
> BB2 CM.

You're so unfathomably fucked.
Try it on normal mode at least. CM is not at all balanced for nuzlockes.

I haven't played a Pokemon game since Emerald, and I never even tried a Nuzlocke back then. I tried playing Platinum regularly, but it's too easy and boring.
Would doing a Nuzlocke of it improve it any? Or should I just jump to Gen V? Should I Nuzlocke maybe one of the gens I've played in the past to ease myself in? Maybe a hack? What do you guys think?
I know that's alot of questions, but I'm somewhat overwhelmed.

>>28303890
>haven't played a Pokemon game since Emerald

does that mean that you haven't caught them all yet

>>28303890
go back to gen I and nuzlocke a game from each gen till you're worthy enough of nuzlocking platinum and genV

>>28303890
Either Nuzlocke a game you know well, or normally play a new game.

Fuck Fearows and fuck Pursuit. Got down to 4/6, got Surf HM so I was able to add pokemon (Ampharos and Pinsir) from surfing location in two towns/cities, spent a shitload of time grinding them to the team level and then this asshole shot my Pinsir down when I was almost done with him.
Can't keep full team for more than a few hours, it seems.

>>28304314
pursuit is the worst fucking move ever, designed to ruin nuzlockes everywhere

"oh so your pokemon is weak and you need to change it because you can't heal it in battle? LOL NOPE enjoy your death"

>Panzer dug a hole
>Graveler used Self-destruct

So satisfying to watch.

I just started my first randomized game, my rival had a poison move for his first move. I made it to the heal spot with 2hp remaining. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

>>28303932
>>28303956

I didn't shuffle since that that just swaps stats, I randomized them to be random within the pokemon's BST. I'm actually hoping for some bullshit rolls like 10 def or something. I'm mostly afraid of super effective kills since I don't know what type my opponent will be.

Fuck, I tried to get my Kadabra some exp against the ghastly/haunters in the Ghost gym that he should have first turn one-shot but lost him to a fucking crit. All of my guys are too low/type disadvantaged.

>>28307469

>>28307513
nothing could possibly go wrong now

>>28307597
The latter. I use save-states in the sense that saving in Pokémon takes forever so it's just quicker, but I never reload after somebody dies because, y'know, defeats the purpose.

>>28307597
Saving and reloading if something goes wrong defeats the entire point of the nuzlocke. Why even do a nuzlocke if you'll just reload when something cocks up?

>>28304607
lol u know what
you guys were right
nuzlocke isn't really for me

I was playing a bit and was thinking about it and really, I don't like having to not use Pokemon I want to. It's not so much that I don't like variety, it's just that there's so much common crap I've already used before that I don't want to use, and one Pokemon per route, as well as one chance per route, makes it hard to build a good varied team with type coverage at first. It's not that I don't want a challenge, but with a new game and experience like this I wouldn't want to waste all the good Pokemon I can catch. I think I'll complete Blaze Black 2 normally first, and then start a nuzlocke after I'm done.
i-it wasn't that i'm so retarded i d-don't even have basic ph-photoshopping skills and can't m-make a template well

Anyway, I'll just watch other people's nuzlocke stories for now. /blog

>>28307770
You could just do the no dupes clause. But yeah, you're probably not cut out for this.

Started a GSC run last night, forgetting that there's not too much variety in nocturnal pokemon and unable to check route pokemon. I ran into three dupes in a row pretty quickly. Would it be cheating to just try again in the day?
