Never used Magcargo before so this should be fun. Mild natured too so he should be fun.

Doing a White 2 Challenge Mode Nuzlocke right now, with the added rule of ''I cannot deposit any Pokémon in my PC, unless they are dead'.

Just beat Skyla and in Reversal Mountain with that team. So far, lost Eyedol the Patrat. Electabuzz just solo'd the flying gym. (And yes, I trade-evolve Pokémon in my Nuzlockes, so as soon as I get an Electrizer and Voltaria doesn't die, she'll be an Electivire)

Toughest fight so far was Elesa. Clay was surprisingly easy.

My additional rule is taunting me right now, as I just caught a Trapinch in Reversal Mountain. But I'm not willing to sacrifice a team member only to add a newcomer.

Pokemon White.

Wrecked the bug Gym Leader with the fly crew. Caught a Sandile which got wrecked by a fire monkey. So I still got my main three.

Fuzz (Woobat) 27
Flank (Tranquill) 26
Tulip (Petilil) 24

Will be tackling Brawly with this team. Mostly relying on Silver here. As you can see, half of my team is underleveled, but all of these mons are useless vs Brawly and none of them are easy to train up at this point, so I left them like this and will probably switch train them once I reach Slateport.

>Going to exp-share Makuhita at Mt. Battle before heading to Citadark Island.

oh yeah, a new rule. Rolling:

1: set mode
2: no items in battle
3: level cap: pokemon on my team can't be of a higher level than the next gym leader's ace
4: prove yourself: can't use PokeCenter + mart in a town until its gym leader is defeated (unless there is no gym, of course)
5: fair fight: in a gym, I can only use as many Pokemon as the gym leader (so before going into a gym I need to select what mons will be on my party all throughout the gym)
6: no escape: as soon as I enter a gym, I can't leave until everyone in it has been defeated
7: work for your evolution: can't evolve a Pokemon until it has fought in a gym leader battle
8: sacrifice: one Pokemon must be moved to the "dead" box after obtaining a badge (besides mons that may have died during the gym battle)
9: no repels
0: first reply chooses one of these rules

So far the rules are: no dupes (dead route after 3 dupe encounters), set battle mode

If you know any rules to add to the list, don't hesitate to tell me

going to give black 2 a try. any tips specific to this generation of games that past runners have?

Caught a Yamask in Relic Castle and wondering how the hell will I be able to fight Elesa with this crew. Better start looking around the Resort and open routes for potential.

>>28893634
woah how did you manage to let all those deaths happen dude

btw I'm fairly sure you get a Sun Stone in Nimbasa City, if you use it on your Petilil it will evolve and you will have yourself a Lilligant which learns Quiver Dance at level 28. That should do the trick vs Elesa.

are you guys planning on nuzlocking S/M? How do you usually decide what games to nuzlocke? For example, do you only do a nuzlocke run your second playthrough of the game? I'm curious.

>>28897725
>are you guys planning on nuzlocking S/M?
yes
>How do you usually decide what games to nuzlocke?
do if feel like nuzlocking it? if yes, then i do it

i dont mind nuzlocking blind. it's fun. but i need a certain patience that i only have if the game/hack is good enough to keep my interest even after several failures

I'm thinking about starting the weekly /vpn/ threads parallel to this one. I'll think about some community rules and do some templates and stuff, but i was wondering about which game to choose. Romhack or vanilla, but with a rigid. more challenging ruleset than average nuzlocke rules?

And of course, every thread(s) would last the entire week instead of just the weekend so we wouldn't have as many guys posting "oh no i just found out about it and its sunday already too late to join guess i'll wait for next week". The more the merrier, and we can have some sort of point scoring system for a leaderboard the end of the week(or is this a bad idea)?

Anyway, let's discuss it out for a bit before starting the thread. I really like the idea of a separate thread where everyone nuzlocke the same game with the same rules. It's so much fun to follow along the posts.

After some grind and replacing staryu with a scyther i got from wondertrade, I challenged Misty and won with some major difficulties. The main problems were her dewgong and lapras, due to having no pokemon good against their typing and both of them being fairly bulky. However, flinch hax from tauros helped save the day

>>28899187
Use the bliztle as its nature is neutral unlike your purrloin's, which hurts its best stat.

Also, i'm pretty sure you can't get that volcarona until after you bein the main game in white one.

>>28899259
But can I catch it? Or do I need to kill it?

You can catch it if you, but only if you catch no other pokemon in the relic castle due to nuzlocke rules

i wanted to give up after a near wipe due to horn drill x accuracy trickeries but i decided to move on

the only options i had for training were the fossil (which i picked aerodactyl) and a venonat though

can i seriously beat the yellow E4 with a venomoth, dodrio, blastoise and aerodactyl only? stay tuned to find out

I have a Super Luck Tranquill, gave it a Scope Lens, and plan on spamming Air Cutter against Burgh.

If I lose, I'm retiring from Pokemon.

Recently gotten into randomized runs and having a grand old time. Normal nuzlockes can become a bit dull at times but randomizer keeps everything fresh and challenging. Nuzlockes become tricky to take off the ground in games like BW where you basically have 3 rivals

>>28897725
I'm nuzlocking S/M only because there are so many great designs this time around that I cannot decide what I want on my team. With the Pokemon Bank not being available on release I'll probably have time to nuzlocke the game a few times. Playing through the games normally is dull these days.

this was literally impossible even though the Magneton was replaced by a Flaaffy. Manectric is just insane man. This would have been easy with items but I screwed myself over with that rule, I should never bother with it again since it manages to make even an easy game like Emerald hard as fuck.

idk, I guess I could restart (but absolutely not bothering with Treecko ever again, what a completely garbage mon with zero movepool), could also go for a different game since having to go through hours of the same again is kinda boring honestly, idkkk

This also made me less nostalgic for gen III desu. The early game is a lot less pleasant to play through than that of any of the games that came after it and the movepools from mons are abhorrent until later in the game, damn. Yeah fuck this really, I think I'll do Flawless Platinum, seems like that one is a fair mix of challenging and fair.

I think I was supposed to do the Silph co. part before fighting Koga. The first few grunts are level 45 while Koga's entire gym was level 55 and up.

vanilla Yellow version runner from last night, back again. Fell asleep before I got too far. I'm not allowing myself to catch doubles of any Pokemon already in the party, so when my first Viridian Forest encounter was another Pidgey and the one in the grass right before Pewter was another NidoranM, my fate became a little questionable. Here's my team to face Brock's gym. Might grind out a little bit before I give it a shot.

Finally made it to Vermilion, and beat Lt.surge. Unfortunately had my first death, my staryu died against Gary on the S.S. Anne.

Lt.surge was probably the easiest gym fight due to me having a sandslash which proceeded to learn dig in the middle of the gym

I lost Cat the Persian to a crit from a Tentacruel on route 18 so I had to train two new replacements. It didn't bother me too much because Cat was the weakest on my team and both Tree and Ghost are already pulling their weight.

I beat team rocket in Silph co and Sabrina easily because I was overleveled. I was supposed to do all of this before I fought Koga, but I accidentally did it out of order.

Last update of the night

Made it to lavender town , but unfortunately lost Jynx along the way, so i replaced it with a soon to be weavile. Now that I made it to lavender town, I can finally nickname my mons. Any suggestions for names?

Sacred-Gold Butterfree here.

I'm curious. What is your personal ethics on using savestates and voltorbflip.com to cheat at Voltorb Flip in order to get those TM's...or the pokemon you can buy too, I guess?

I'm doing it regardless, it doesn't break the Nuzlocke rules, specifically, but I am curious.

Isis just bit it due to a crit Shadow Ball by Morty's Haunter, she'll be sorely missed.

>>28907383
Savescumming, in my opinion is fine when it comes to mini games as they technically fall outsides the ruling of nuzlocke

In short, go ahead

>>28907383
>using savestates
If a mon dies it dies, savestating shouldnt be allowed

>>28907167
That's not even spik, it's huehue.

>>28907157
Redachu or Doduo.

>>28907157
Phanpy

>>28907473
He's talking about using savestates on voltorb flip.

>>28907473
When has a mon ever died playing Voltorb Flip?

>>28907383
i dont like the idea. you're still abusing something to make the game easier and get powerful moves/mon

"but i would do it without savestates it would just take forever"

yeah, and that's why you're allowed to keep the reward. because voltorb flip is boring as fuck. if you endure it you get to keep the good mons and moves. savescumming, at least to me, is never justified in a nuzlocke. that said i always savescum in casual runs though because fuck voltorb flip

>>28907875
>voltorb flip is boring as fuck
Objectively wrong.
Voltorb flip was the best part of my SS run.

>>28907938
sorry for your brain damage bro

>>28907938
Then that must be a shitty run.

>>28907875
[My interpretation, please correct if I'm wrong.]
>The difficulty of Voltorb Flip is just because it's a grind.

Interesting perspective, but hard to rectify with all the tools and even sub-rulesets out there to minimize grind.

How do you feel about someone using an emulator's speed-up feature then?

>>28908155
>How do you feel about someone using an emulator's speed-up feature then?
voltorb flip isn't grinding, voltorb flip is a luck/strategy based game. that you kill all strategy when you save scum. and you have zero risks because you dont even lose money, unlike speeding up when grinding and losing a mon to not paying attention

Jasmine is gonna be tricky, especially considering her team is expanded. If you can, I'd recommend going back to the ponds in Ruins of alph, where you may find a handy wooper or quagsire.
Watch out for eusine and the bonus dungeon after you beat the fighting gym

Wooper would provide a lot of utility for your team st the moment considering it doesn't have a lot of switch in potential. Either ability would make it a good Mon to throw into certain situations.

-catch the first encounter. Dupes clause which also means I can't use more than one mon from the same evo line, even if it dies
