I thought Red++ was supposed to be challenging. Two gyms down and only had two close calls. No loses yet. The hack didn't seem to alter trainer and gym teams at all which is disappointing.
>>29109249
Which version of the rom are you using? Most of us here use the hard version of the hack which has altered trainers
Just started a Y Nuzlocke. Made it all the way to the three-in-a-row rival battle on the bridge last time, hoping to actually finish this time around.
Good start so far. Frog Prince is Modest, Gretel is Bashful.
>>29109314
The rom itself is unlabelled but it was supposed to have been patched with the hard version. I'm thinking its normal though at this point as I've not seen any different teams.
And there goes arguably the best member of my team
>>29109537
And there goes my run, gen 5's exp system is very nuzlocke unfriendly
>>29109618
Going to try once again, so anon pick my starter for a Volt White 2 nuzlocke run
>>29109367
Added Clever Hans the Hasty Pansage to the team. I'll update the image after I have the first badge.
Caught some new members as well as using the gift eevee in order to offset that fact that i got Chikorita as my starter
Quartz Nuzlocke when?
>>29111645
Im currently playing it too, Staraptor is a godsend, I actually just beat Jasmine with it
Starting a stormsilver nuzlocke again.... fucking scythe wipes my team no matter what I bring....
>>29111664
Do it, i want to see how bad it can be
sorry, i'm new to nuzlocke.
If I enter a route for the first time and the first encounter is a pokemon I caught before, can I keep searching for a different pokemon on the same route until I stumble upon one that I haven't caught?
second, can i catch the same pokemon that I once had and now is dead?
thanks
>>29111724
It all depends, some people play with what is called a "dupes clause", which basically means if their first encounter is a pokemon they already caught, they can look for another pokemon without losing that routes catch.
In short, its all up to you if you want to
>>29111645
Shinx is always fun to use, especially when it gets intimidate. Nincada and its evo's are both interestin in their own unique ways
Update:
Lava, quilava, female, level 20
Foxy, eevee, male level 8
May have grinded a bit
Is wonderlocke allowed here? Currently playing OR, so far I've gotten zubat, poochyena and nuzleaf. Holding onto my ingame starter (treecko) until after I get the first badge so I have at least 1 mon that will listen to me.
>>29112955
Its a type of Nuzlocke, and I'm pretty sure we have had people do wonderlockes in the past so go ahead mate
Question: can i still catch pokemon after I get a full party?
>>29113060
Yeah you can, in fact you're supposed to due to the perma death rule of Nuzlocke
im a such bad trainer xD
Early game Espeon is best Espeon
>>29109098
i want to sex beheeyem

>just so happened to be leading with the 2 shadow pokemon in my party
>she also coincidentally leads with her shadow gengar and pidgeot

>didn't have roost until after the battle
That was really tough. I'm mad about losing vaporeon, I accidentally tried to double protect when I could've used follow me with clefable, went for the heal instead. Oh well, Starmie is looking promising.
Also I lost kirlia to the fucking shadow pikachu in the pregym. Fuck this hack for:
>giving pikachu a light ball this early in the game
>giving it shadow moves so it hits almost all of your pokemon SE
>giving it an 80BP shadow move with 30% paralysis
I have to grind up Starmie who's only level 27 right now (rest are like 32-35) but after that we'll be back to fucking up Cipher.
Tried to start my nuzluck yesterday on Pokemon Pyrite, but the 1/250 shiny chance might be too much to really do it. Anyone know a hack with more around 1/100 shiny chance?
>>29113867
>go to the weird house with chobin
>beat him
>heal up and come back to fight him again in the robo-groudon
>his team is now the robo-groudon itself, which is level50 but doesn't have drought
RIP demetrius, follow me can't protect you from heat wave babe. the ironic thing is I would've outsped if he had drought due to chlorophyll and probably OHKO'd with helping hand leaf storm
Someone pick my Red starter.
Decided I was going to go back and attempt to nuzlocke each gen, similar to that guy doing it with every game, but just going to do one game from each gen instead. Starting with Red because I like it more than Yellow, then will stay with it until I finally succeed, then move onto one of the Gen 2 games.
Going to use the universal randomizer to change trade evos into level evos. I assume the randomizer doesn't have any sort of option to put the Blue exclusives into Red without fully randomizing the selection?
>>29115218
squirtle
Final Update for the night, We now have an even braver bird, Thunder Armor was replaced by Spoopy in order to avoid redundancy, and there is still a little bit a grinding needed before i challenge Falkner
>>29113919
Finally figured it out. Got Pokemon Gaia working with a 1% shiny chance. Pretty excited. The rules:
Nuzluck Challenge
-can only catch shinies.
-starter is only regular pokemon allowed, making it a sort of reverse shiny.
-trade and received Pokemon can be used if shiny.
-if you see a shiny legendary you can't catch it, but you get to revive a Pokemon from the graveyard due to your lucky find.
Any other rule ideas?
>>29115277
>>29115218
Squirtle it is.
I forgot how slow these early gens were without running. Maybe I should be playing the remakes instead for gens 1 and 2 since I'm playing on my 3DS and can't fast forward.
Can we all agree nuzlocke general is best general in /vp/?
>>29117989
Yes. yes we can.
>>29109367
First badge update. Time to start filling up these pages.
Viola is always such a bitch I've never lost more than one Pokémon to her, but I almost always lose one. That Infestation is a killer. Almost ended up losing Frog Prince as well, but he pulled through.
Off to the next route, where I found a goddamn Ledyba. I'm starting to have some worries about this run.
Fuck Snagem
>can't catch zangoose
>can't catch drizzletoed
>Gonzap has a feraligatr that I SWEAR has boosted stats and dark/ice/water coverage
>can't switch pokemon between the battle with his assistant and him
>can't heal between those battles either
fucker got half my team. fortunately I was able to keep Yoona, who's consistently been the MVP of the team with her constant redirection.
Time to grind some babies at Mt. Battle. Is there any way to speed up togepi's happiness gain in Orre?
Okay so it's been a while since the last update, and I don't have an image for my last post gym team, but I need to get this out there.
I just caught this bastard fresh in the burned tower.
>all elemental fangs
>Crunch
>Lv24
This sacred gold balance patch version is going to drive me up a wall. Morty is going to be a cake walk at this rate.
>>29111724
>>29111790
when it comes to the "dupes clause", I allow myself to look for another mon if I've enecountered one that I already have, but also I can only use an evolutionary line once. Say, if my swellow dies, I cannot catch a Taillow in a later route even if it's the first encounter.
back to Vega
Did a little grinding on nidoqueen and the gift beldum, but damn I miss my floatzel so much
>>29120044
and then proceeded to rip team plot's leader a new one.
>>29119473
gengar has hypnosis/shadow ball/thunderbolt/giga drain. if you can get your hands on a chesto berry use it.
>gen 1 Nuzlocke
>everything I've caught so far has been trash, but...
>fuck yeah Vulpix (Cyndi)
>defence isn't so hot, worried she might get KO'd while underlevelled
>give her a Fire Stone
>kicking all kinds of arse
>can't wait until she learns Flamethrower
>huh, this is taking a while...
>look up Ninetales learnset
>only way it can learn Flamethrower is by levelling Vulpix to 42
>my only good team member will spend the rest of the game with Ember as her strongest move
>lose all motivation to continue
>>29121002
>not knowing how stones evolution's movesets work
>having any trouble at all with gen 1
wew lad
>watching TFS's Green Leaf Nuzlocke
>they get an Eevee and then head to the casino to get a Dratini in the same town

>>29121206
>youtube comments
what did you expect
>>29121206
>catch Dratini in Safari Zone
>grind to level 60
>accidentally switch in against Lorelei
>OHK'd by a crit Ice Beam
Thanks for reminding me faggot
Alright, I've been busy and haven't touched this BlazeBlack save in over 2 months.
Surprisingly enough, I'm in Nacrene City and haven't lost a mon as of yet. That should change quickly against the gym leader though...
I gotta say, I'm kinda scared to start off with a gym leader battle, especially against deadly Lenora
>>29115632
That's a hell of a great team to have so early in the game, even in a Drayano hack
>>29121728
Hell fucking yeah, everybody's alive.
I know the game pretty well so that kinda saved me. I led with my Watchog & Munna so as not to be disadvantaged by the double Intimidate lead.
Then proceeded to spread Sleep and Confusion left and right. Watchog is also an excellent bait for the Retaliates with Detect. Making it easy for my Sawk to sweep her team.
Fucking love Watchog early game
>>29122117
Oh, and I'm rolling to decide if I catch something inside Pinwheel Forest (already caught Sawk in the entrance)
Odds : No catch
Evens : catch

God this thread is dead
>>29126227
It's hard to keep good threads alive on a shitposting containment board
Which RSE/ORAS game would you guys recommend for a nuzlocke? I have never touched a 3rd generation game before. ORAS sounds like it's really easy like XY were from what I'm hearing.
Also rolling for my FireRed starter, as I'm doing a run through of that first.
1-3 Charmander
4-6 Bulbasaur
7-9 Squirtle
0 First reply picks
>>29127109
Emerald for sure
It's an enhanced version of RS basically.
There's probably difficulty hacks as well, not sure though. But Emerald is fun if you can do with the absence of Physical/Special split
>>29121728
I reached Castelia city and no loss so far!
Two additions to the team, meet Mrs Oizo and Becky (forgot I had the fishing rod).
Resting my newly evolved Musharna for the Bug gym.
I'm also gonna roll later to decide which fossil I get to revive in Nacrene (it will be my Nacrene catch).
Hope the thread doesn't die in the meanwhile, calling it quits for now
