Goddammit, you fags. The weekend isn't over, and neither is the challenge. Even if you are late, jump on it, nothing forbids anyone to keep this going until next weekend.
This is the /vp/ Community Nuzlocke, the mini-event in which we all play the same game and share our conquests and fuck ups.
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!

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)

im grinding for the e4 now
Woke up, grinded a bit, cleared out the SS Anne, then used my newfound Cut powers to go back to Pallet, Viridian and east of Cerulean for another 3 captures. Really lucked out with Slow Dancer, and she puts in the finest work. Togepi is a neat catch too, if something were to happen to Titania. Speaking of, I'm not sure when I should evolve it. Anyone who's gotten a Clefairy in this game, does it learn any other Fairy moves by level up other than Disarming Voice?
>>28766547
Every pokemon keeps learning moves after evolution by stone.
Go for it.
>>28766581
Aw ye
Is this safe to dl? Anyone do a scan of op's link?
Alright, everyone's level 38. Think this is good for Lt. Surge, or should I just get everybody to 40?
>>28766917
Yeah, the DL's safe.
I have LOTS of updates- first one being destroying Erika
>>28767902
and then losing my beloved Nidoking to yet another Weezing. Without him Koga is going to be a pain in the ass...
>>28767926
...but thankfully my Pokemon Tower catch came in pretty handy. Poison resistance + selfdestruct immunity + amnesia + decent stats=instant bro.
>>28767952
but of course Koga will use hax strategies and spam Toxic. Thankfully made through him without casualities.
>>28767926
F.
>>28767902
>>28767952
>>28767992
But thankfully you've made some steady progress. Also lets me know I probably should round out my Pokemon to 40 before Surge, especially since I don't have a ground type.
>>28767992
a surprisingly strong Rocket Grunt killed my Clefable. I hope the lack of a fairy type won't bite me in the ass by the time I face Lance
>>28768018
surge peaks at 36 IIRC, but if you have no type advantage you better grind.
This hack is pretty good, but damn is it grindy. Without spacebar spam it would take forever to finish. I already maxed out 255 hours of play according to the game.
by the way,
>>28768112
Mismagius obliterates Sabrina, meanwhile I've replaced Clefable with an Electrivire I found in the power plant.
>>28768174
Gyarados rapes Blaine...
>>28768198
...and Giovanni shortly after. looks like the difficulty level peaks between Erika and Koga, but after that it's been relatively downhill. It probably has to do with the fact that Koga is actually the highest leveled boss you face before Blaine, while I expected Silph co. rockets and Sabrina to be stronger.

I feel as though I may have over-prepared a little.

Made it to Lavender Town. My catches for the route outside Rock Tunnel and in Rock Tunnel were a Pidgey and Rhyhorn, respectively. Rhyhorn's some real power in the PC for now.
Also, Lavender's got the Name Rater, which actually let me name my Pokemons.
>>28769237
Also forgot to mention, Mime Jr. learns Mimic a second time at LV 43, so I finally got Mr. Mime.
>>28768427
so I went against my rival underleveled because he's always been a total pushover
too bad his Exeggutor knew Amnesia
my starter had to pay the price
fuck this shit
he wasn't really pulling his weight right now
but goddamn
imma raise an aerodactyl as Cinnabar capture and destroy everything I see
Holy crap! Random shiny Patrat encounter while making my way through Floccesy Ranch at the beginning of my White 2 Challenge Mode run. Almost fled as I wasn't paying attention. Already had my encounter in the area, so what's the consensus? Isn't it I can catch a shiny as long as I don't use it on my team?
To someone who's a total tech newb (Faggot) with tech, what do people do to post screenshots of their game?
>>28769528
Every emulator has a screenshot function.
Just go through the controller options for whatever emulator you're going to use to find it and hotkey it.
Or you can just print-screen it.
Made it to Celadon, was able to get a total of 6 Pokemons between/around Celadon and Lavender and traded them all off. Gotta say, Scizor and Dratini are really impressive finds, and Vulpix is power in the PC if anything happens to Slow Dancer. The rest are useful because of Dupe clause, so it means I can't get them later.
With all this power in the PC I'm incredibly tempted to grind out and train a 'backup' team of 6 just in case something happens, I can just swap someone in quickly without needing to train them later.
Resuming my game again. Got through Silph Co. last time I played. I lost my Pidgeot in one of the battles. He will be missed.
I needed a flyer, so I started training Sanic the Zubat. Things going well so far, challenging Sabrina now.
Edit: Posted in the wrong thread earlier in regards to the White 2 shiny. My bad guys, disregard.
Question about Happiness, how would Togepi evolve in this game, both into Togetic and Togekiss?
>>28768446

More Red++ streaming
Up to Koga
jollynuzcrew.com
>>28770047
Togepi evolves into Togetic at level 15 and Togetic evolves into Togekiss with a Sun Stone.
>>28770164
Oh sweet, that's simple.
>>28770164
Should've included the progress update. I'm on my way to Fuchsia City. Won the the badge without any problems.
Bumping the thread with the B-Team's progress. I'm gunna be bringing them all up to the same level as the rest of my team.
Bump for community fun
Is this thread broken? I can't get posts to go through.
>>28772813
That answers that, I guess.
Anyway, another progress report. Dratini died while training, I used my stones to evolve Shellder, Vulpix and Togetic, and training is progressing slowly but surely.
In this game, is there the special/physical split? Also are there Megas?
>>28773051
Megas no, Physical/Special split yes.
I just made a .cia of the game. Messed up with the icon so the icon is not a Pokemon one but obviously the game is the same. Here's the QR code for any CFW guys.
About to fight Brock, is my team ok or should i grind some more?
I'm playing the game from the file in the OP. And there is no color, but in everyone else's screenshots, there's color. Whats going on?
>>28773917
Options->Gameboy->SGB
Then restart the game.
>>28774241
Ah I installed it on my 3ds. So maybe I can only play it in color on VBA.
Alright, time for another update. Finally finished getting the other 5 caught up to the others, and this is the team I'm thinking of trying to take Erika on with. Think this would work, or should I try and get them to 45?
>>28775622
Well, I kinda steamrolled Erika. Time to go beat up Rockets in the game corner I guess. Restructured the team towards fighting the expected Rocket-typical Pokemons.
After this I'll probably settle on a base 'main' team.
Streaming the elite four of my run right now

I downloaded the link in the OP. Should I Nuzlocke this game or is it so difficult that it would be stupid to Nuzlocke like Star Sapphire is? Also I always play on Set.
>>28776977
It's not super difficult, even if it's the Hard mode. You just need to not mind grinding.
>>28777023
Oh no I definitely don't want to grind. And yea it's the hard mode. So if I don't grind, you're saying I shouldn't Nuzlocke?
>>28777069
Probably not. Especially with things like Brock's team consisting of an Aerodactyl, Omastar and Kabutops at level 13. So unless you're super lucky and catch exactly what you need, or you use Wonder Trade, you'll run into some serious but still kinda 'fair' opposition.
>>28776306
How do you rename the pokemon you get from wondertrade? Or is that just what your referring to your pokemon as?
>>28777694
When you start the game you have the option of having Pokemons from trades behave as if you caught them. This means you can bring them to the Name Rater and change the nicknames.I actually was just referring to them as those names until I got to Lavender and stumbled upon that by accident.
How are you guys grinding before Brock's gym? There's only Route 2 available nearby but the pokemon give shit EXP
>>28778400
I remember grinding being pretty easy. I grinded in Viridian Forest. Level 6 Metapods and Kakunas were my favorite, they gave 60 EXP and didn't hurt, so I could get my whole team the EXP. The EXP isn't split in this game, by the way.
Alright, Celedon's Game Corner basement wasn't too bad. Has a few close calls, but still pulled through without casualties. Now I've spent a bunch of time trying to come up with as balanced of a team as possible (even though I'm going to use the other 5 as well depending on the area). Next stop, back to Lavender to take down the Pokemon Tower, and hopefully get a new catch.
>>28778400
Speed-Up is your friend. I grind by just going back and forth at high speed in whatever grass/cave is around and watching videos while grinding.
So, I used repel and got this guy to be the first to appear in Safari Zone, and MY FUCKING BOX IS FULL SO I CAN'T CATCH! FUG!
FUCK
Thank you based Drowzee for headbutt and giving me additional encounters in Cities.
Wonderlocking this game has turned out to be pretty fun, not sure how it compares to the vanilla game though.
Am I ready for gym 1?
>>28778936
I'd say a heavy 'maybe' considering there's nothing with type advantage against Brock's Pokemons, except for Tentacool working against Aerodactyl.
Koffing and Drowzee could work if you cheese it with items, or just spamming Hypnosis.
So has anyone thought of next weeks game?
when is the next game picked?
>>28778986
>>28778936
Well that was underwhelmingly easy, Tenta swept the gym except almost died to a mud slap from kabutops, fortunately drowzee was tanky enough to take a few hits.
Last update before going to bed.
Hydro's passing hits the team hard, but Shield is working hard to fill the hole that was left. We pulled through that last fight against the Rocket Exec all thanks to Maria with Dig for the Houndoom and Weezing, and Rock Tomb for the Honchkrow.
At this point, my next goal is going to be to grind to level 50, which was the levels that the Rocket Exec had, then start heading south towards Fuchsia.
>>28779067
I'm kinda surprised Tentacool did so well against the Omastar, but I'm glad Drowzee was good to you.
>>28779122
Also forgot to mention, the Pokemon Tower encounter got me a Heracross. Could be an interesting Pokemon to train up, but it's level 20. I'll only bother to start training it if maybe Iai dies, or if I'm running low on pre-trained mons. Especially since Heracross won't be useful against any of the upcoming gyms.
>>28779122
Yep I was as well, I got lucky though with a water pulse confusion early on.
What level did you grind to for Gym 2 btw, I am new to this hack.
>>28779061
Idk much about romhacks, but i see volt white get played alot, i was thinking maybe we could do volt white?i noticed op didnt unify a set of nuzlock rules! But at least he got it goin lol
>>28779169
I had mid 20s, although I had a LV 25 Chinchou, which died to Misty's Lapras getting a crit body slam and living an Electro Ball with a little bit of health.
I imagine the other Pokemons on her team would have been harder had I not had that electric type.
Beat Koga and the first thing I did was Surf to Power Plant and leveled my Magneton. Finally have a Megnezone.
Just beat e4

>>28779568
Congrats!
F for Venusaur, Magmortar and Sylveon.
I have my moon stone and I'm ready to evolve my jigglypuff, is there a certain level I should wait until before using it? Right now my Jiggly is level 16
>>28779882
Why wait? If it's about it not learning moves after evolving, don't worry, it will.
