Welcome to the second edition of the collective nuzlocke! In this thread we just get together and nuzlocke a same game over the weekend following the same rulesets for comparison and fun
This week the game being picked is Red++, which is a fun, challenging but fair hack of gen1 with all the features we love from the newest ones, including wondertrading. Also no random spic text anywhere!
https://www.sendspace.com/file/ymiyam
Link to the already patched Hard version rom. You don't want to play on easy, do you anon? (If you do just google red++, the pokecommunity thread has a link for the normal ips)
Let's all just compare our runs and have fun during this weekend! I'll be posting the male and female templates for anyone interested right after. Any doubts, just ask.
Male template:
>>28728299
>>28728344
Female template.
Also check'em
And finally a PSD to anyone interested

And a quick FAQ
>Which emulator is gud
Retroarch with Gambatte core or just emulate it through VBA-M anyway
>Does it run on my android/psp/whatever? Some romhacks don't
This one works fine i tested
>What are the additions, does it have fanfic shit on it?
It doesn't. All based on the games, including the (few) new areas, every line of text also coming from the games.
Full list of features here:

Dunno. A lot.

>lost the first fight
Fuck.
>>28729303
Nuzlockes only start after you get balls. Don't worry about first fights.
>>28729392
I'm very strict about this sort of thing. I'm already done, I lost.
Was originally gonna do a standard nuzlocke but I could not resist trying the wondertrade feature so... wonderlocke it is for me.
7 names my Squirtle
Are abilities a thing here?

A new face in Pallet Town, Clark was always a quiet boy, staying with his Ma and Pa.
Meanwhile Bruce, the son of the rich Professor Oak, had also come of age along with his neighbor Clark, and the two would begin their Pokemon Journey
>>28731398
>>28731424
>red plus plus
>game is all blue
0/10 hack wouldnt play
Clark picked the timid but calm Bulbasaur, giving him the nickname his father had given him before he left for Kanto.
Seems fun, I might check in later tonight
Meanwhile Bruce Oak claims the Batmander for himself.
>>28731444
It's an emulation thing. I can probably change it but I don't know how to in VBA-M
Will it work with Nocash?
>>28731572
yes
The Mon of Steel triumphs over the Charred Crusader, and Bruce stomps off to prep for the next encounter.
>>28731616
It won't work with mine, what am I doing wrong?
>>28731666
what version of nocash do you have?
the really old ones wont probably work with any romhack or even newer revision roms probably. nocash is old as fuck
you can always use nogba to emulate gb games iirc
I'll let you know trainer...
<teleports behindo you>
...i am a very skilled and mysterious trainer...
<unsheates legit hattori steel katana>
...and i'm waiting for your challenge in the viridian gym
aww crap
i wanted a meowth, dammit
but only third encounter. oh well.
bumping for the people who wanted to check later
Brock scared me so much, didn't expect that, but I'm on my way to Cerulean !
>>28733175
What was his team? Spoil me
>>28728299
does this hack have the phys/spec split?
>>28733201
Onix, Graveller, and Regirock. Levels 16, 18 and 22.
>>28733277
yes
>>28733299
>Regirock
Excuse me what????
>>28733317
There are 168 Pokemon, a new pure-typed Pokemon is added for each type. Brock has Regirock, which is Rock's entrant.
>>28733201
Ptera, Omastar & Kabutops
>>28733299
Dafuq ? I have downloaded the lastest hard version of Red++ directly from the site, he have a Ptera, an Omastar and a Kabutops in mine o_O
>>28733387
there's a normal and a hard version it seems
i'm having a hard time deciding which one is normal and which one is hard though
>>28733431
The name of the patch have "Hard" in his name so I've got the good one (and when i see the normal trainer's pokemons, it's not the easy one (nugget bridge bug trainer have a Scyther level 20)
>>28733460
weird then
>>28734258
Maybe they change that in the latest version of the hack.
how the hell do you use berries?
Alright, here we fucking go.
1-3 for bulba.
4-6 for char.
7-9 for turtle.
0 for free pickaka. bulba.
Also, are there any good set of colors for gameboy games or is it all just a huge meme?
>>28735275
>charmander
enjoy suffering
also use gambatte you can change colour schemes
>Random pokemon at level 2-5 while bug-catchers have level 13 shit
Brock is going to wipe me out, isn't he?
>Charmander learns Dragon Rage at level 16
HOLY SHIT IS THIS HOPE?
>>28735983
LITERALLY DOUBLE KICKED INTO OBLIVION
I LOVE YOU NIDORINA
So, after hard xp time for beat Misty with Nidorina and Gloom (5 pokes, with 3 using ice moves..) and destroy trainers in the SS Anne, I just beat Surge (thanks Plant and Ground immunity to electric type). Same, Surge have 5 pokes, but it was more easy.
>There's a berry called Acai that works as a rare candy
I wonder where the berry tree is located
>>28736995
How to colors?
>>28736995
where did you get the murkrow
i want one
>Golbat confuses my Butterfree

>>28737319
There are some of them to the left of cerulean. Quite rare.
>>28737450
>There are some of them to the left of cerulean. Quite rare.
Thanks. will look for them next run
>The way sleep works in Gen I
>The way Growth works because of the Special stat
>Sweeping the entire water gym with Gloom and am absurd amount of special
I feel this should be wrong somehow.
>>28736084
>Double Kicking your way through Pewter City Gym
It's why my Nidoking became my main 'mon during my first time playing through Yellow all those years ago. Pretty sure I boxed my Pikachu after Misty and never looked back.
How are we all evolving graveler?
The guy guarding the fossils was really close to ending it all.
I was lucky to have a lvl 7 sanshrew against his lvl 20 raichu with only one (electric) move.
>>28738480
RIP to the squad. I just entered MT moon so i appreciate the heads up.. Just caught an onix btw
>>28738480
RTZ's off to rejoin EG again, no doubt
>>28738305
i think trade evos come naturally, but just at a really high level
GERT joins the game!
>>28738979
GERT needs to fix the aspect ratio!
>>28738480
Who's Mirana?
>>28739912
My guess is Persian
>>28739164
nah, GERT got used to it already and anything else looks weird to ger.
UPDATE:
Brock was harder than I had expected.
MARLENE (Charmander) had no trouble taking care of his Aerodactyl thanks to Metal Claw. It gained a bunch of experience and leveled up enough to learn Dragon Rage.
However, BARBARA (Pidgey) and UBER (Nidoran male) died to his Omastar and Kabutops, respectively. It was my Charmander against his Water/Rock Kabutops who still had half of its HP.
Luckilly enough, Charmander was able to outspeed it somehow, and one Dragon Rage was enough to take it down.
Pity bump.
>>28729593
G-Spot
>>28729593
Carapuce
1-3 red and bulbasaur
4-6 ash and squirtle
7-9 jack and charmander
0 and dubs chooses name and starter
let's roll
>>28741848
shameless bump
Since I had no nidorans or mankeys I resorted to overgrinding. Charmeleon shat on everything with dragon rage.
This could be fun. Rolling for starter. 1-3 is Bulbasaur, 4-6 is Charmander, 7-9 is Squirtle, 0 is starterless.
>>28737319
Headbutt, I just caugth him before screen.
>>28737190
It's the base color of the game don't know. But I have dl him directly from the site so.
>>28729593

>>28729593
hurumbe
>>28742295
Misty was a pain in the ass, haxxing like no tomorrow
team is gloom, rattata, clefable, charmeleon, gyarados and beedrill.
I killed the diglett in diglett cave.
How will I survive Lt.surge
How does wondertrade work in this game? Is it legit for the group run? I'm curious but not sure if I want to play through Red again.
>>28743876
I was going to reach Rock Tunnel before Lt.Surge in the hope of finding some geodudes
luckily my route 9 encounter was a nidoran. Hope it'll help.
What's up my dudes, sorry I'm late to the party.
Going to try and make this communitylocke 2 for 2. Hopefully nothing has Litmus
>>28744260
fuck Double team
>>28744280
and here we go
>>28744321
>charmander
hope you enjoy grinding
>>28744330
As a kid I once ground up to a level 50 charizard before I even made it out of Viridian.
Nothing will stop me from being an idiot
>>28744330
and I love grinding
>>28744346
bullshit, if you didn't spend 1000 hours play time killing catarpies
Do you guys do I/EV training while nuzlocking?
Fuck me. I wanted to do communitylocke this week, but it's already the second day. And there's no way I'm able to catch up to you guys who have been playing ever since the rom was released. *Sigh* Maybe next week.
ok then, lets go
>>28744967
you can still do it dude!
Alright, about to challenge Brock
>>28745088
Okay that was fucking easy
Dragon Rage + Two pokemon that know double kick = brock stood no chance
>>28745133
forgot pic
>>28728542
How do I get this to work on Android? I have an emulator but when i download it from the link it doesn't work.
>>28745203
the file from the link is a .rar, you have to extract the gb file
>>28745227
Alright, thank you very much.
>>28729593
Benis
Do I replace Nidorino or Nidorina with Sandshrew?
Guess I'll join in. First time actually doing this, hopefully I can catch up to most people. Nana joins the fray.
Lost Snekysnek the Ekans to Gary in Cerulean
>>28745645
My first catch, lucky it wasn't a Rattata. Signs of good things to come, clearly.
Since I'm very original I'm just gonna name my Pokemon after Mitsuru Adachi characters, lol. Charmander is Tacchan.
>>28745934
Make sure to evolve Charmander before brock
he has aerodactyl, omastar, kabutops. You'll need dragon rage
>>28745975
Will do, thanks for the tip. Here's hoping poor Tacchan will survive the Brock onslaught. Found a Spearow in the Route left to Viridian City, caught it too, but would've preferred a Mankey or something (those are there, right?). Oh well!
>>28746028
Mankey, Nidoran male and female
But it's okay, because it's a modded game you can get them in the patch of grass just south of pewter too, so you can still grab one
>>28746056
Lol, of course the Viridian Forest Pokemon was... a Kakuna. The Harden Beast awakens.
>>28746097
Not bad though, Twinneedle is a monster, too bad it's not a pikachu though
>>28744967
It's not a race, bro. Just join in and share your playthrough with us. It's fun just to read the different stories.
I'm late again, but just started the game. Picked Charmander and caught Rattata. Gonna have to grind a lot to beat Brock.
>>28729593
Charmander
>>28746245
Dragon Rage man
>>28746294
Dragon Rage by level up? Shit, that will make it a whole lot easier.
About to challenge misty. wish me luck
>>28746325
Yeah at 16 when it evolves. But Brock has Aerodactyl, Kabutops, and Omastar. Highest level 15 but still
>>28746365
fuck forgot pic again
>>28746365
I guess I'll get my team a bit higher, just in case.
>>28746389
Good luck with your match. Can't tell what most of your 'mons are, but the levels look pretty nice.
>>28746413
Misty had higher leveled pokemon, but type advantages plus potions up the ass saved me.
HorNEET the Beedrill
Shadow the Hedgehog (Sandslash)
Shorty the NIdorino
Cyclone the Pidgeotto
Smokejumpr the Charmeleon
BigFlora the Gloom
I just beat Brock, but it felt too easy because I did too much grinding.
>>28746457
What levels were her Pokemon? I don't want to overlevel again.
>>28746488
Uh I think 25. But she has 5 pokemon
Poliwrath, Dewgong, Starmie, Lapras, Horsea (not sure if horsea i can't remember)
Ayy
Should I swap something out for Abra?
>>28746609
Good luck defeating Bedrock!
>>28746698
DOnt evolve it. the guy that typically trades you a mr mime will trade you a SNEASEL
Oh my god, Charmander almost nearly died against that Buterfree. Ate a confusion critical, had 3 HP and got confused but managed to attack. Switched him out like mad right away.
Meanwhile, I got some good exp out of that trainer and Harden beast is no longer!
>>28746854
thanks for the tip, I just lost HorNEET so I needed something else to put on my team
>>28746766
That'll be hard with just a Pidgey in the box
Is the Wonder Trade okay to use? I accidentally put my traded my Weedle for a Cubone.
>>28746899
F
>>28729408
Autism
>>28746938
Yeah wondertrade is okay, I'd say it counts as your pokemon for that area, so you can't fish in that city or whatever
Traded Abra for Sneasel. Now I have two pokemon named Shadow
>>28746975
Took a look, the guy who normally trades farfetch'd for spearow will trade squirtle for a poliwag
Got the first badge. I used a Lvl. 18 Charmeleon and a Lvl. 16 Nidorino.
Since one is a Ground-type and other is a Fire-type, I almost lost them both against the Water-types Brock used. Dragon Rage was a blessing.
>>28747042
A guy in Pewter Museum trades a Pikachu for Togepi. I like the trades in this game.
There is a guy on the SS Anne with a level 35 Raichu out of nowhere.
Thank god for Sandslash
Victory against Brock! Played it really safe with Aoba (Pidgey) Sand-Attacking Omastar and Kabutops before switching into Charmeleon who delivered the punishment with Dragon Rage. Good fight!
No casualties so far~
Z-moves confirmed
>>28746929
After some grinding, I think that This should be able to Defeat Brock. Hopefully
>>28747328
whats your strategy?
>>28747328
uh. maybe
>>28747355
Lots of sand attacks.
Then spam Twister/Gust
>>28747328
The level is assuring, but that moveset worries me a bit, anon. A Double Kick from level 16 Nidorino did nothing to Brock's Omastar. Good luck.
Just wondertraded a spearow for Elekid. Nice but no room on my team ATM, especially with Lt. Surge coming up
>>28747392
Completely forgot that Twister flinched, Flinched out the Aerodactyl and Omastar and then crit the Kabutops to death
Found a new area in Mt. Moon with Wild Onixs. I wish I knew about it before, would've used a repel until I got here.
>>28747529
Great job anon!
>>28747529
Nice work anon
I currently am locked in an infinite "asleep, wake up, sleep powder" loop
>>28747615
Also this nigga has a lanturn
>>28747673
Okay the lowest level of Surge's gym trainers is 35 so I'm going to grind more
>>28747247
Route before Mt. Moon, this one appeared. I really like Mankey/Primeape so I'm pretty happy. Hope he'll survive the ride.
Got through Mt. Moon and found a Moon Stone. Kinda unsure whether I should use it to evolve Nidorino right now or wait a bit, since Nidoking doesn't learn many moves by level up.
>>28747755
Shit nigga, you already at Surge?
Fast aren't ya?
>>28747817
They keep learning moves after evolution in this game.
Go for it.
>>28747845
Space bar
>>28747864
Oh, that's cool. Thanks.
>>28747799
Man, Fairy-type being a thing really makes these rosters full of Puffs and Clefairies really awkward for Katsuki. I want to level him up, but best he can do is simply sit back and let Tacchan take care of stuff for now...
Figured I'd do a second nuzlocke of HG to pass the time. Have a team of Quilava (Sierra), Bellsprout (Snapple), Rattata (Nuka), and Spinarak (Ymir).
So far, two deaths--Mareep (Joseph) and HootHoot (Eroll).
I think the critical hit ratio is horribly skewed cause I'm dishing out and receiving a ton of them. Snapple's pretty impressive, having never raised a Bellsprout before. I'm hoping he'll stick around long enough to become a Victreebel!
Nuka is a crit magnet and also deals them out. Sierra's got a good nature (Hasty), and she's already got me my first badge. And Ymir is just there because SPIDERSSS.
Team is at Azaela right now, so hopefully all will continue to go well!
>>28747925
Luckily the exp system is the same as in XY so it's not split, really you get twice the experience if you switch out
LT. Surge was a piece of cake. Sandslash swept his team with Dig. Digger the Diglett was collateral, almost KOd an electrode though
>>28747966
Wrong thread, but good luck with your run!
>>28748027
Oops, i'm sorry! Thanks though!
should I grind for a Dratini or get Eevee as my Celadon capture?
>>28748099
Get Eevee
>>28748099
Doesn't seem like a safe idea to have a Pokemon that fully evolves at Level 55. I'd go for Eevee.
Fuck, I forgot to check this thread yesterday. I hope I have a bit more luck this week. Starting now.
>>28748175
>>28748142
Eevee it is! now roll for Eevolution
0, 9 or dubs: free choice
1: vaporeon
2: jolteon
3: flareon
4: espeon
5: umbreon
6: glaceon
7: leafeon
8: sylveon
First pokemon in route east of Vermilleon was a repeat, so i wondertraded it away, lo and behold this beauty
>>28748252
Here we fucking go, wish me luck.I accidentally pressed start at the nickname screen ._.
>>28747529
Some Encounters and Grinding Later...
>>28748311
I love jolteon
Fighting Misty with only Ground and Fire-type Pokemon turned out to be a really bad idea. Restarting.
>>28748449
Speaking of Encounters, Should Mt. Moon Square count as a New encounter area?
>>28748610
I say yes
caught my clefabro there
Made it through rock tunnel,
Bring repels.
Also watch out for the trainer with the level 37 Wigglytuff. Shit is starting to heat up out here
>>28748438
Route 1
>>28748566
that's what you get for being careless and bringing underleveled mons against trainers
I even wasted my thunderbolt tm on him
fuck my life
>>28748746
Is honchkrow in this game? if so I've already found a nice replacement
>>28748822
i think all mons ingame have all the pre and evolutions they had till gen VI so yes
>>28748724
Route whatever that one that goes to the league.
How did you guys get color?
>>28749087
in VBA, go Options->Gameboy->SGB
The way the sprite for Ekans look it could almost pass as one of those tiny Zygarde here.
Grinding up on Nugget Bridge before Misty because I think I'm just too low... no type advantadge against her either.
>>28748822
selfdestruct is such a beautiful move, isn't it?
>>28749167
She has a Horsea, Poliwrath, Dewgong, Lapras, and Starmie, highest level 25. Good luck anon.
I'm going to get some sleep since it's noon and I've been up since 2pm. Goodluck everyone
>>28749257
Have a good nap Kamon.
>>28749225
There's a golem somewhere that tries to use it but Sandslash was underground thankgod
Wonder Traded a Caterpie for this guy.
>>28749257
Sweet dreams.
>>28749225
>That file name
kek
nothing much to do until 5, guess i'll give it a try
i'm planning to add the rule: any mon that would fit dupe clause is wonder traded away
I honestly have no strategy for misty.
Here's the tam i'm going in with
2 or 5 names this little bastard.
>>28749725
Keemstar
>>28748985
Clearly underestimated him.
Will retry later, as I've not been able to play it consistently right now.
>>28749725
Turdle
>>28749434
thats a nice rule. i got an electabuzz
Is there a second moon stone anywhere before Misty or do I have to wait?
>>28749725
Top Turt
>>28749167
I caught an Oddish, evolved it, then got a Crit and it got KO'd right away and then things got bad very fast but I still won. It's just... my bros...
At least Tacchan lived to tell the tale. He's gonna have to find a new team. What a massacre...
>>28749225
I'm gonna call it a day before I kill my entire team.
I have a mankey and a machop in the box. Should I bother grinding one of them?
These games are pretty hard to nuzlocke considering even casual trainers can pose a serious challenge
>>28749875
mkay. H-here I go!
>>28749864
Yes, there is. You can buy one at Mt. Moon Square and there is one hidden where you fight the Nerd for Fossils.
>>28749891

>>28749891
Rest is Pieces Katsuki.
>>28749724
That went relatively well, minus the heal spamming i had to do against lapras.

detailed information on this red++?
>>28750055
Taking a break for a while.
be back eventually
>>28750102
Also, here comes dat team. Will change the birb for Lapras later.
>>28750218
cheers
>>28750160
Alright, here's the team so far. Seems like a decent start.
I've just arrived to Vermillion.
I've been playing in set, so I'm a bit afraid of switching pokemon in battle.
As a result my team's levels are starting to look like a 10 year old's who's playing pokemon for the first time.
>>28750506
shit man
but i feel your pain, lost so many mons during grinding sessions just trying to make them gain a bit of xp by popping up one turn
Something I've always wondered about with Nuzlockes in Red version, does the route on either side of Viridian Forest count as two areas, or just one? They're technically both Route 2, but they're completely disconnected from one another.
>>28750033
misty down as well, almost time to leave though. I need less poison types
Team:
>Eliott (Ivysaur) - lv28
>Shrub (Sandslash) - lv25
>Snek (Arbok) - lv25
>Gyarados - lv27
>Tentacool - lv25
>Weeb (Beedrill) - lv25
Boxed:
>Krabby - lv.7
>Dinner (Pidgey) - lv.?
stuff:
>Second Sandshrew - Wonder Traded - got Krabby
>THIRD Sandshrew - Wonder Traded - got Magikarp
>>28750791
i've always counted as one because of the name of the route. think of it like cave areas
>>28750791
always counted as one
i base what i consider routes on their names. it's easier from gen II onwards when the name pop ups in the screen when you change them, but in gen I you just check the map and the map says both are route II
they all have the same shit pokemons anyway
>>28750863
That's usually what I do as well, just wanted to see what other people thought.
Currently getting ready for the first gym. Viridian Forest's trainers were kind of a surprise, especially the last guy, but it was nothing we couldn't handle.
>>28746488
Misty went down easily. Puffball the Wigglytuff put her Vaporeon to sleep, then Weed the Gloom came in, used growth a few times, then swept with mega drain.
gotta leave, don't think i'll be able to finish by tomorrow because i've got some stuff to do. anyway, good luck guys
>>28750506
Well, Surge was a pushover.
LAMIA's combo of Minimize + Growth + Giga drain (learnt during the battle) is amazing.
Though my Butterfree died on the route right to Vermillion, and my Meowth died in SS Anne.
Current party:
>LAMIA (Gloom) Lv 35
>NAGA (Arbok) Lv 32
>MARLENE (Charizard) Lv 38
I have no one in the PC.

My team heading into Morty in sacred gold.
I think I'm overpowered but we'll see.
Lost my weepinbell to a koffing self destruct.
>>28751639
That teams looks pretty good. It should do fine. Good luck with the battle.
Wrong thread, by the way.
Brock's team was certainly a surprise, but we pulled through pretty good. I went in expecting to sweep with Top Turt, and ended up using Cumdump and Reiju instead. No casualties so far, let's hope it stays that way. (I probably just jinxed myself.) Can't wait to see what new friends are in store!
>>28752138
careful with misty frendo
>>28749225
Thanks dude, u save my Vaporeon :)
>>28752871
Oh, I will be. Probably going to hella grind before I even give it an attempt.
Benched Nyanners to make room for coverage. The Super Nerd in Mt. Moon nearly gave me a heart attack when that level 20 Raichu came out, but we managed to pull through. No deaths yet, although there was a REALLY close call against Jessie's Lickitung. Wrap is a BITCH in gen I. Picked up Clefairy in the Mt. Moon new area, and Jigglypuff outside Cerulean City. Debating if I should grind up into the 23-25 range before I fight my Rival, that bastard can be tough in a normal playthrough.
Sylph scope in my pocket. Rpasody save Andersen from Weezing's selfdestruct with 16 hp, really lucky that I check here before, and I hope people will have a pokemon for handle this, or they will loosing a pokemon against them !
>>28753169
at least cumdump can help you with lapras
its a bitch
gary's also tough but watch out for one of the nugget bridge trainers pulling an overleveled mon out of his ass
>>28753169
Ended up going to 23, that was overkill. Oh well, better safe than sorry.
Name my bulbasaur!
>>28753493
kill me
>>28753465
Thanks for the advice. I could also be sneaky and use Boota on Lapras, delicious Karate Chop crits on Lapras's not-quite-as-good defense could work, and that way I can use cumdump on other stuff. Good to know she has a Lapras in the first place.
Here we go
Alright, let's get this started and see if I get bodied this time too.
>>28753618
We got a squad now
RIP Slink the Caterpie, we literally hardly knew ye.
>>28753799
>try to make things interesting by doing a Wonderlocke instead
>get this as my first two trades
OH BOY.
>>28753522
Saving Boota for Lapras worked out very well, thank you kind Anon for the warning. Managed to make it through Misty with no deaths. It's going to make it all the more heartbreaking when it finally happens.
Debating on teaching Dig to Terra. Probably not going to, because I'm sure I'll get a better ground move soon. Team has been solid so far, I was worried that Reiju might start to lag behind, but so far she's been putting up a valiant effort. Taught Steel Wing to Papi, because I haven't had anything to deal with Fairies yet. Let's hope I can keep this up.
>>28754216
And now I'm not even sure if my luck is turning around.
got wiped out by the brock's gym schmuck
this is embarassing
>>28754304
Well this is embarrassing, but not unexpected.
Fucking Beedrill :(
This ROM was harder then I thought it would be
>>28754483
Forgot to fix levels, they're all 13 now, except Kill Me, who is 14
>>28753343
"And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor shall be lifted— Nevermore !"
So Honchkrow take x2 on fighting move, don't know why. He was crit high kicked by Hitmonlee, one shotted to death. Just before, my newly Haunter was kill too. I'm a little sad. And don't understand why, just after Erika, on all the next road after Snorlax are all 50+, i'm underlevel so much, and can't xp against wild poke..
>>28754458
Okay, you know what, this works. Thanks, Viridian Forest.
A bit late to the party but here we go. This will probably end horribly.
1-3:Bulb
4-6:Char
7-9:Squi
0:Freebie
>>28754570
Ended up choosing Charmander, 8 get to nickname it.
>>28754732
Dickbutt
>>28754732
Pikachu
>>28754732
im a fag
>>28754527
Jesus fuck, I just cannot have nice things, can I? Horsea died to a crit tackle from a Ratatta.
Template update after beating the rival outside Viridian.

>>28754885
Well shit, guess I got bodied after all.
Time for a second try with HOPEFULLY better luck from the wonder trades.
>>28754958
We have a Winner!!
Close match but the first rival has been won
>>28755023
dont worry that beedrill is indeed a motherfucker
>>28755023
Alright, so this is a much better start than last time.
>>28750189
Rip osmium.
>>28755352
forgot pic.
>>28755227
Alright, finally starting to get some good luck. Now to go train these guys up before facing the rival.
Well, preparing for the SS Anne and Surge. Still no deaths, but it's been mostly standard grinding fare for awhile. Cleared out all of the routes around Vermillion. I'm honestly astonished by my luck this far.
>>28755374
Fuck the SS. Anne
I was not expecting my rival to have 4 pokemon before the first gym. I barely won, but sand attack is the greatest way to cherry pick to victory.
On an unrelated note, what are you guy's rules on using wondertrade in this romhack?
>>28755501
Arbok has no pp left.
Fuck.
>>28755526
I'm specifically replacing every catch with a new Pokemon from Wonder Trade, but in a regular run I think I'd do either "can only wonder trade 1 catch away", or maybe even doing "1 wonder trade per gym", so beating a gym lets you wonder trade one additional time.
>>28755526
Any time I catch a duplicate Pokemon I wondertrade it.
>>28755386
FUCK.
>>28755526
i think forfeiting your catch of the route to wondertrade it is okay
this one >>28755642 sounds fine too
as long as you dont use wondertrade as an extra pokemon option it seems fine to me
>>28755591
>>28755642
>>28755749
Thanks for the advice. I'll probably be sticking to using wondertrade on dupes only for this run. Conveniently enough, my route two encounter just so happened to be a dupe , so know I get to let the rng give me a mon.
Streaming this at jollynuzcrew.com after a depressing end to my BS Platinum run vs Candice
is there any place to get a nicknameable togepi?
About to start is it possible to play this on my 3ds if I have cfw
>>28755725
Alright, beat the rival outside of Viridian, now it's time to go through Viridian Forest to see if I can get further than last time.
>>28756737
Okay, Benoit and Polar are absolute MVPs, taking out the Butterfree and Beedrill without any issues.
Just finished grinding out before Brock, think I should be okay?
>>28757181
Nevermind, I kinda steamrolled him.
Man, all these water types. Based on what I catch in Mt. Moon I may just end up boxing this.
Well, internet went out for awhile, and is still pretty spotty. Just got to Lavender Town. While grinding up some spares for the Surge fight, I had my first death: Victor the Bellsprout, RIP. Surge went surprisingly well. Rock Tunnel was pretty eventful, had quite a few close calls, especially with Papi. I really hope she gets a better flying move soon, or she may have to get benched: Gust just ain't gonna cut it, and I'm REALLY banking on her for the Erika fight.
>>28757715
And of course, the very next level up after I post this, she gets Wing Attack. Perfect.
>>28757715
why youre not evolving cumdump
Been grinding since I got the Silph Scope. Giovanni was around these levels so that's where i am. Do I challenge Erika or go clear Lavender tower first
>>28757832
erika is usually very easy
or the fighting dojo
>>28757832
forgot pic
>>28757853
I would highly recommend Erika before Lavender tower. Gary's vaporeon used to be a bitch before exeggutor
>>28757454
So my two other catches, before I really start going in to Mt. Moon are Chinchou and Oddish. I mean, I have 3 water types on the team but at least Chinchou's unique enough with the electric typing. Oddish is really welcome though.
>>28757773
No access to a Thunderstone. Just got my first one, and evolved it immediately.
>>28749891
Played a bit more, basically a new team by now after the massacre that Misty promoted.
Just after beating Surge:
Sasaki, the Dugtrio L38
Momiji, the Butterfree L33
Tacchan, the Charmeleon L33
Akaishi, the Gyarados L33
Sachiko, the Arbok L30
Surge was really easy and basically Sasaki owned him up real good. I think we're back on track! But I wish I'd stop getting repeats, haha.
I just realized something. I never taught my Mime Jr. Mimic, and I'm pretty sure that's how it evolves into Mr. Mime.
Where's the Relearner in this, and what does it cost to relearn shit?
>>28758188
Stuff is different in this game, Sneasel evolves with a moon stone, maybe see if something like that works? It might just be a level
>>28758200
Man, I sure hope so.
Also, I just found Mt. Moon Square and it has grass in it. Would that be considered a separate area for a catch?
>>28758307
hell yeah it does
also you can buy a moon stone from someone there
>>28758307
I considered it so. I can release my Clefairy if everyone else disagrees, but to me, it's a different area with a different name.
>>28758307
Just checked, and it seems like you will need Mimic after all. You can find Move Reminder in the same house as Move Deleter. Cost, I don't know.
>>28758385
>>28758396
Oh man, this guy's totally going on my team.
>>28758404
>Fuschia
Aw fuck, I'm gunna need to either have Mime Jr survive until then somehow, or just box him.
First encounter in the Safari zone that wasn't a dupe. It sat there for 16 safari balls without running away. Nervous sweating.
>>28758512
nice, got a Porygon 2 from wondertrading my poke from route 15 (a duplicate gloom)
>>28758142
And now this in the route left of Lavander. Well, it's already gained some levels.
How exactly does one evolve into Alakazam in this game, if at possible?
Level 40 check-in! Just beat Giovanni and got the Silph Scope. He was a solid 7 levels above me, but I still was 1-shotting everything, which is really, REALLY encouraging. Still pretty nervous about fighting Erika, even though Papi now has Wing Attack and Fly. (Sub-optimal, I know, but whatever.) And now that Terra has Earthquake and evolved, I'm feeling really good about this team.
>>28758634
Moon Stone. Wish I would have known it sooner, I kind of figured it out on accident while evolving a Nidorino.
>>28758713
Lol, nice. Thanks! Guess it's time to Alakazam it up.
Just beat Koga. On to Silph Co.
Just lost my first Pokemon. A level 15 Diglett. I was trying to grind on wild Pokemon. It was his first battle.
Going on S.S. Anne now.
Team so far:
Rill the Pidgeotto
Magnemite
Terrina the Nidoqueen
Primeape
Ruby the Charizard
The ones I haven't named are the ones I got from wonder trade. I have been trading away dupes.
Alright, finally got to Cerulean. Got a Shellder in the box now on top of everything else.
Nearly lost Nuptup against the Super Nerd's Raichu. Thank fuck for Minimize.
>>28759351
Man, fuck Sleep's mechanics in this. "What's that? You're waking up? Thanks for the warning, go back to sleep!"
Polly died to a Clefable on Nugget Bridge that just kept spamming Sing then getting crits with Double Slap until it dealt more than expected and KOed.
>>28759915
F.
Screw Sleep, Wrap and Bind in Gen 1.
>>28759915
F.
I sat through an oddish putting me to sleep for like 40 turns until sleeppowder finally ran out of PP.
Just beat Sabrina, SHADOW OHKO'd everything with Night Slash, minus Slowking who was taken out by one good Wood Hammer
Surge down, but I lost my Primeape in the battle. He had helped me a lot so far. He will be missed.
The 2 routes north of Cerulean are both pretty good, a Slugma (Who'll take Polly's place), and a Psyduck who'll give me a total of 5 available water types.
Holy Fug that was close!
>>28760089
F.
>>28760154
Good find
>>28760201
[Sweats loudly]
Look who I found in the Cinnabar Mansion
Is it okay to catch Pokemon in order to get 50 entries in Pokedex to get the EXP. Share?
>>28760215
That's cool. Was she tough?
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT AARGH
>>28760304
I don't know. Wondertrade like mad
And no, she had 2 slugma and a Torkoal
Beat Blaine no problem Aqua Tail and Earthquake
>>28760329
F.
How did that happen? In Misty's Gym?
>>28760369
Nah, crit from a Mankey while making my way to Bill's house.
>>28758512
any idea how to evolve it? I got porygon1 on wondertrade
>>28760421
Absolutely no idea. I'm just kinda rolling with it for now.
>>28760421
Use Thunder Stone to get Porygon2 and level up Porygon2 inside Power Plant to get PorygonZ.
Blew through Giovanni, although his pokemon severely out leveled mine.
Going to grind like mad before attempting Gary
Alright, last update before bed. I've gone through and done some grinding, surfing to Cinnabar Island from Pallet Town to take advantage of the Pokemon Mansion and it's higher levels. Koga went down easy. See you all in the morning.
>>28760499
Like an Idiot i challenged Gary despite not training any further. Thank god for type advantage and gary using non-damaging moves
Misty's Gym's been defeated, but not without loss. I got overconfident because Shimmer was steamrolling everything she had with Thunderbolt, then the Lapras comes out, it survives a Thunderbolt with a sliver, then kills Shimmer with a crit Body Slam.
I'm gunna be going without a 6th team member until after I catch the pokemons from the routes south of Cerulean and around Vermillian.
>>28760606
Alright, went and caught 5 new Pokemons, and most of it is garbage. Also, that Ditto is what I got from catching a LV 29 Dugtrio in Diglett Cave.
At least Tangela can become Tangrowth later, and I really do like Clefable.I immensely regret selling my moon stones to get more potion money. At least I can buy more after I finish in the SS Anne.
>>28760839
I could have sworn grass resisted ground. That shouldn't have been super effective.
Lost Terrina the Nidoqueen from an unexpected Self Destruct. She was with me from the start. Will be missed dearly.
>>28761090
F.
You're not wrong, Grass does resist Ground.
One last update before bed. Really not sure who to put into the party at this point considering the upcoming Electric gym, and I can't go catch anything new until after the SS Anne, since I'd have to wait to get Cut, then I could go back to Pallet and Viridian, fish for 2 more encounters, and also go back into Mt. Moon for a Moon Stone for Titania.
As for the actual gym battle, I'm thinking that Noodle is going to be my best bet for this, followed by Titania after evolving, unless I get something really good out of the next two captures.
>>28749919
>Should I bother grinding
of course I should. This is a Nuzlocke after all
Well guys I beat the elite 4 and the champion. Although I did lose Smokejumpr the Charizard and Shadow the Hedgehog.
I went in way underlevelled. Strongest pokemon faced was level 80. Wouldn't have won if not for repeated non-damaging moves being used by NPCs.
I decided to face the E4 thinking i would lose so I could get back to my normal playthrough of White, but instead I ended up scraping out a win.
In the Silph co. Building now. Trying to get a Lapras.
>>28762036
That was fast. Congrats! F for Shadow and Smokejumpr.
>>28762060
Space bar works wonders my man. This one felt easy compared to last week's.
Good luck to ya! I'll be lurking in here til monday
