I fucking used curse during the totem fight when Gastle was just barely below half hp. Killing it. I'm a fucking retard.

Thankfully I've got this Rattata so I've still got my poke to fight Hau's Pichu. Even a physical attacker and the Pikachu line has shit defense so this works out nicely.

Gotta not be so reckless in the future. Heard these trials get tough later.

Done 4 gyms now. Having 3 starters is fun since they're all so reliable and gives me a F/W/G core. FF is still the same powerhouse as ever.

Aerosmith died bringing my death counter so far to 2.

Lt. Surge was pretty much not randomised, still electric type. Erika was ground type though, giving MoodyBlues and GreenDay an easy sweep.

Went against Bugsy with everyone except Geodude severely undeleveled. She one-shot everything, so it didn't matter. Need to grind a bit to catch everyone up though. Gotta see what I can get from the Bug-Catching contest, too.

Here's the current PC box. Currently got 3/4 of the existing pseudos.

Alakazam and Charizard are the Magikarp/Eevee respectively.

>>32526301
assuming you're not going with the alakazam to keep things challenging?

>>32526339
Yeah that was my thought process when I got it. I'll be around the level where it isn't unfair to use anymore soon, but it's level 5 so it'll take a while to get up.

Since I have Scary Monsters, the Charizard is just being used as a Cut/Fly slave.

>>32526344
it's still an alakazam, if you got that thing up to lv 25 he'd already be the strongest 'mon on your current team

>>32526361
Yeah, I'll probably end up using it if someone dies while I'm in my late 30s/early 40s.

Also used the randomiser to make it so that, by level 45~, every trainer Pokémon will be fully evolved so there's that to look forward to.

If shit ends up going really really bad endgame I'll probably end up using the 3 pseudos.

You can do online Trading in gen 4, right? I might need help getting a Golem relatively soon.

>>32520683
noe that there've been both Pokemon and Etrian Odyssey crossovers with Mystery Dungeon, I kinda wish there were an Etrian Pokemon crossover.

>>32530055

Crobat is pretty much always good. It's practically the Nuzlocke Pokemon, everyone is likely to use it at least once. Depends on the game though. Earlier games are harder for Zubat as it's level up movepool is ass, but later games make it a bit better.

Water Trial was pretty easy. The totem poke used growl twice then a water gun before it went down to Bella.

That totem pokemon wiped my team. Can't even look at this game anymore.

>>32530055

Pretty much what >>32530276 said. Crobat is really solid in any games Gen IV and beyond. It's much easier to get one if you catch a Golbat since Golbat is a bit more stable and sturdy, even in the mid-game.

>>32531819
managed to actually snag a psyduck in the ranch on my Black 2 run

he lasted all the way until Ghetsis' Hydreigon because apparently even on challenge mode that thing does NOT carry a fire move which I was hoping to switch into

>>32531856
I wish I'd got a Riolu or Lillipup. Now I have to pray Virbank Complex doesn't give me Magnemite as always as I'm so sick of using Magnemite in Nuzlockes.

>>32531819

BW2 has the biggest barrier to entry, that's for sure. And yeah, that's a pretty boring roll of encounters. Does your Pidove have Super Luck, at least?

>>32531875

lol no

That said, I did take an Unfezant from Floccesy in a previous run that also did not have Super Luck.

BW2's problem is that everything good early on is in like two areas and you get so few encounters until Castelia.

>>32531872
at least magnemite is pretty good as magnezone
especially given that air balloons are very accessible in B2/W2

had a lot of luck this run though (it's still ungoing, preparing for the E4 right now), virbank gave me a growlithe (still on my team, sadly I had to evolve him before he learned flare blitz because I really needed the extremespeed), chargestone was kind enough to give me a ferroseed (good god ferrothorn is a monster) and I actually managed to get a 5% encounter rate vibrava from reversal mountain

>>32531910

I actually don't really want Growlithe either, I used it a few months ago in Fire Red. I'm really hoping for Elekid. Inner area, 1 in 4 chance, 3 strike for a non-dupe clause.

Jiggs was the perfect new addition to this team, her Flamethrower took care of both Abomasnow and Avalugg without problem.

Re-Lax knocked Crygo out with one hit using his heave slam.

>>32531928
I honestly was very happy, no electrizer in B2

>>32531951

B2 doesn't get Elekid anyway.

>>32531928

Just stay out of the dark grass. For some reason, the catch rates in dark grass scale with your pokedex completion, becoming easier the more pokemon you've caught. Meaning that anything you encounter in the early game becomes almost impossible to catch.

>>32531976

I know about that, weird shit eh. I just wish my luck was better when Nuzlocking any game. I literally NEVER get the really rare or interesting stuff without heavy dupes manipulation.

>>32531998
you could always try to cheese it a bit with repel, then make up for it by using an additional set of rules like no items during battles

>>32521901
hey that's pretty good

>>32531998

That's really a shame. There's certainly a real sense of excitement that comes from rolling a really rare pokemon on your first encounter. When I did White 2 challenge, I got a Metang on my first encounter in Giant Chasm. That certainly put a spring in my step.

Where are you at in your run right now?

>>32532016

Meh. I did at least beat Cheren with just my Patrat though.

The Gen 5 TM get sound is so amazing.

I guess Amu will replace him, he's basically a weaker version

>>32532203

Fair point. Koffing just seems kind of boring and I've used it in a Nuzlocke before. Gen 1 Pokemon in games with other gen mons always seem duller to me. Maybe I could use it for a while like my Patrat, then box it mid-late game when I get more varied encounters. BW1 definitely has not only the better early game for encounters, but also the more fun early game.

It's been a fairly fun run sofar, a lot less deaths than I anticipated but the gym leaders generally did put up good fights (aside from Marlon who really had no way to deal with Lego)
And now it's time to go challenge the E4

How ready would you rate my team? Any obvious improvements I should make?

>>32533184
Energy doesn't always mean screaming. It means not sounding passive and bored(unless you're going for some chill vibe). You have to sound like you're enjoying what you're playing and really care about making it out alive.

>>32533656
You're the same level as the highest of their levels you should be good hopefully keep updating ITT: I wanna see how you do

>>32533667

This is a good perspective. It can be hard to imagine being high energy when you hate your voice as you have stated >>32532997, but I would ask why you hate your voice. What are the things you are critical of? If you can narrow that down, you can work on those aspects to make your commentary more palatable, at least for your own sake. And I would imagine it will get much easier the more time you spend listening to yourself.

Sorry, I'm not that guy, just somebody else that makes videos sometimes. That being said, I have some overall advice: the more you do, the better you get. Getting into the vibe of talking over games is made even easier if you do so for normal games. Say the shit that comes to mind when dialogue comes up, say out loud your plans for battles/puzzles, etc, even if you aren't recording/streaming. Then you're less likely to feel like you have nothing to talk about when you go to record/stream.

Does anyone have a surprise bro yet? I just caught StantlerKubrick and figured I'd use his Hypnosis to help catch a couple things, but that STAB Stomp is fucking nasty. Also, Intimidate is always nice.

This fucking Meowth's fury swipes crit twice to kill my Dewpider.

Fire trial was easy enough. Totem poke flame bursted Skids to 10 hp but Skids one shot it with bulldoze.

Found a Magby but it called for help 3 times, burned doggo 3 times and trapped him in Fire Spin. Decided saving Doggo's life was worth more than a Magmar who's evo item is probably post game.

I guess Mallow is next and if this theme of captains dressing like their type continues then she's going to be grass trial. I guess it's time ot train Tichi.

Also I think it's time to turn off the exp share. Merchi and Bella out lvl every enemy I find making this ezy mode.

Id say you should decide on the degree of difficulty you want to start with.The games can vary pretty steeply when it comes to that.

>>32535155
Something that could help you decide are the version exclusives, see which ones have more options you like. Or just use a randomizer.

Just finished Platinum, good lord what a slog of an Elite 4. Thank goodness I had Double Team + Toxic Wormadam to get me through the worst of it.

What is a nice relaxing game to Nuzlocke to unwind after this nightmare? Something with a tamer difficulty curve.

>>32536168
Fire Red/Leaf Green.

>>32536198
Neato, thanks.

I'm going to try a series of Nuzlockes starting with FireRed and later games using transferred survivors from a previous Emerald run like >>32519463 has.

What do you guys think are some good restrictions to impose on the survivors and the run in general to account for the addition in choices aside from setting their levels to 1?

>>32536345
I'd say going with the higher difficulty options like "battle mode set" and a severe limit on item use during fights (either none or 1 item for every item your opponent uses) in addition to the obvious factor of resetting the moves as well as the level of the 'mons so you don't break what's left of the balance into tiny little pieces

>>32533656

Yeah, you were gonna be fine. Crustle is actually really legit and Starmie is a fucking murderer. I've used both of them in White 2, but not in the same run.

Crustle seems kind of underwhelming at first as you could get the likes of Scraggy, Darumaka, Sandile, and Sigilyph in the desert, which are all known nukes, but it's actually pretty damn good.

>>32533345

This is one of the most bizarre teams I've ever seen. I'm guessing you're out of options? That said I approve of Whimsicott. I used one on my first run and somehow it worked.

Which game leads to the most memorable nuzlocke experience?

>>32536490
yeh crustle was honestly the biggest surprise of the whole run
at first I wasn't all to convinced, especially not with a -atk nature
but between sturdy, his good moveset and friggin' shell smash he was a more than valuable team member

How is SM on the difficulty scale? I need to play through Sun again anyways so I can reset for a shiny Null so figured this would be a good push.

>>32536693

Pretty rough. Most of the game isn't too bad, and a lot of the Totems really depend on what you have on your team, but there's some really random difficult parts like Illma's Smeargle early on or the Trainer School. It's also got a pretty damn brutal lategame and all major bosses have max IVs and some EVs as well.

I reached Castelia City in White 2, so now I can actually start catching things again. Pokestar Studios is such a massive pace breaker even though it doesn't take that long, and it's one of the things that makes BW2 really not Nuzlocke friendly early on. Still deathless, team is Dewott/Patrat/Koffing and Purrloin and Pidove as emergency sacrifices if necessary and the cat is also my Cut slave.

Please Castelia and Relic Passage, give me something awesome.

>>32527548

LOL you really should have same species clause.

Beat Koga, who was Steel type, but lost KFC to his ace Magneton. That 4 level jump between his 2nd highest Pokemon and highest is bullshit. Didn't help I was over confident and stayed in when in yellow after missing a Blaze Kick led to a crit Air Cutter to get me that low. Now i need to replace him. Likely will be the Cynadquil I caught a little while ago. Though open to suggestions.

I was thinking of trying bw2 because I figured there would be a lot more variety than bw. Is that not the case? Just not at the beginning? I see a lot of people in this thread running it, what's the consensus?

>>32538261

There's variety, but almost everything decent or interesting before the first two gyms appears in either Floccesy Ranch (Lillipup, Riolu, Mareep) or Virbank Complex (Koffing, Elekid or Magby depending on version, Growlithe, Magnemite), which means one bad encounter makes you lose a lot. Add in pacing issues such as going back and forth a lot and having to do the Pokestar Studios and the first chunk of the game can be pretty boring. Plus Cheren is hard for a first Gym Leader, don't take him lightly.

It's also pretty difficult late game

>>32538261
The early game of BW and BW2 lacks variety really. The first gym in either one will ben4 Pokemon max, and will contain two of the three listed in >>32531819 95% of the time. In BW the 4th will be a monkey, unless you skip it to try for Munna, and in BW2 you might get lucky and get a Sewaddle and a different ranch catch. After that both open up.

BW2 also requires you grind like hell for the first gym.

Sauce on that chicken-chan art?

Would you count an area that shares a route name but has different Pokemon for capture as a "new area"?
For instance Route 210 North, or the various areas of Mt. Coronet?

>>32538510
See for yourself.
http://www.serebii.net/pokearth/sinnoh/route210.shtml
I just wanna know if I'm able to grab this Meditite, I didn't use same species clause and I'm kicking myself.
Dungeons are still one per, in my book. Diamond, by the way

Just started a Black 1 run the other day. I somehow managed to get my starter killed by the first gym leader's Lillipup.

At any rate, would you count Pinwheel Forest's exterior and interior as separate areas or the same area? Just curious.

>>32538813
I think it should be allowed, yeah. It's clearly a new area with a different selection.

>>32538539
There's no overlap of Pokemon at all. Absolutely different.
>>32538813
I don't think I've ever seen anyone say they aren't.

My Plat run has met with tragedy. On the route just after you clear the Psyduck's headaches, Monferno (The Hots), Roselia (Dire), Crobat (Carcinogen) and Sjeffeh (Tropius) met with their ends. The only remaining survivor is Nailer the Seaking. I have to train up a new party to take on Cyrus in Celestic Town.

The Team:

>Cinco the Buneary Lv.24
>Nailer the Seaking Lv.37
>DC Dingle the Chingling, Lv.20
>Equinox the Ponyta, Lv.21
>Oskarou the Jolteon, Lv.28
>CyberTron the Porygon, Lv.25

Had a death while training near Pokemon Mansion, Ryo the Duskull. A big scare came just outside Hearthome, the little girl cosplaying as pikachu had a Lv.34 on rematch, so CyberTron nearly died.

Cont. in a bit, I've got to grind.

>>32539012
Before I go, here's how everything went down:

>My the Rotom suffers his second death to the hands of Crasher Wake's Floatzel, Crit Ice Fang.
>The Hots, Dire, Carcinogen, and Sjeffeh all died after a double battle with a Raichu and Gyrados.
>The Hots was out first, and I thought Fire Blast might KO Raichu, but Gyrados outsped and crit with Aqua Tail
>Dire: Thunderbolt paralyzing it, and then Ice Fang whilst setting up Leech Seeds
>Sjeffeh: Quick Claw+Fly would not save me as it did in the Wake fight, I missed and got crit by Thunderbolt
>Carcinogen was raped by Thunderbolt
Thankfully, Oskarou had just evolved into Jolteon, making swift work of whatever HP Gyrados had left, and Nailer survived a ThunderShock and went on to freeze it with a Blizzard.

>>32538993
Yeah, I grabbed the Meditite, but I've no need to use him yet. As for Mt. Coronet, I think I'll allow one interior and one summit mon. The other routes are pretty straightforward, if I remember.

>>32539027
Also, should I count a Graveler's Self Destruct on the route left of Celestic as a wild death, or should I try again? Does anyone count Rt. 210 as two parts (post and pre Psyduck?)

>>32539027
>Gyarados/Raichu double battle
Just did this in Diamond, it was terrifying. My only hope was using Roselia and Spiritomb and praying for sleephax since the rest of my team was Thunderbolt-weak.
>>32539047
I think we just determined it'd be allowed to catch two just above, yeah. Selfdestructs are still wild deaths, though.

>>32539065
Yep. Blessed be Nailer. In the same fight I lost Ryo, Nailer tanked a crit Razor Leaf from a trainer's Leafeon leaving him at 12 HP but luckily the subsequent Blizzard froze it. (Wait, how do you have Spiritomb? Don't you have to talk to 32 players in the Underground?) Don't tell me you can talk to 32 NPCs or I'm off to the underground RIGHT NOW

>>32539012

If you can trade, you can evolve Porygon immediately. The Upgrade comes before Porygon itself, for some reason. The Dubious Disc isn't until during the Galactic raid at Veilstone, but Porygon2 is good until then.

My White 2 run has improved since the beginning. I've got considerably better encounters since the boring beginning. I even got the rare 5% Scraggy. The team, all at level 30 ready to go into Elesa's gym:

>Torvus the Dewott, ironically with a Calm nature considering the meaning of "Torvus"
>Buckle the Watchog
>Smoghead the Koffing
>Amor the Swoobat
>Lillian the Lilligant
>Miss Lizz the Scraggy

Swoobat is the worst on my team, strangely. I've never used one of these things before, but it's somehow even worse than I thought it would be. Other than my Watchog who is really great now but won't be for the endgame, Amor is up there as something that may need to be replaced later.

I have a Swadloon, Pidove, Cut Slave Purrlion, Solosis (with a shit nature unfortunately), a Dwebble that I would auto-team if I hadn't used it in White 2 previously, and a Zubat.

I'm basically trying to roll through to Clay with this, then see what Routes 6 and Chargestone Cave give me, and I've saved Relic Castle so I can attempt to snag Volcarona too. I so want to use Volcarona if the nature's good.

>>32538467
The way I'm doing it. If the name on the where you caught the poke on it's summary is different then you can catch it. Might end up limiting myself too much but I'll deal with that when I come to it

>>32539143
Only a buddy of mine has got a Gen IV game, I'm going to try and get it evolved soon. In a non nuzlocke run, Adaptability Porygon-Z with Hyper Beam and Silk Scarf saved my ass so hard. Watch that Lilligant and Scraggy on Elesa's Emolga, if you plan to use them. Last run I did I lost a Scraggy to that fight.

>>32539170
Additionally, in the Post Psyduck part of route 210, I caught a Machoke, despite having caught a Ponyta on the way to Veilstone, when the Psyducks were still there. What do?

>>32539135
Ha, afraid not. I had to grind it out with my old DS and Platinum game. I'm not running species clause and didn't wanna risk the low% Mime Jr., so rather than add to my growing Zubat/Geodude/Bidoof collection I decided to guarantee myself a unique mon. Hoping she's the heroine against Fantina I'm expecting her to be.
>>32539151
Yeah, that was my intial judgement call too, but then you have stuff like Pinwheel and Coronet where the overlap is nonexistent. I think as long as good judgement is applied there should be a little wiggle room, but hey.

Oh right, Fantina's way later in D/P than in Platinum. I am running species clause, pretty much the only reason I don't have like 30 zubats

Old Amber.

>>32539222
Yeah, species clause is a near-must for Sinnoh, I'm learning. Seems like 70% of routes have Bidoof/Bibarel, and not in low numbers.

Emolga no longer has Aerial Ace in BW2, so I just used Quiver Dance twice with Lilligant and OHKOed everything. Easy peasy.

team is pic related, I've been overleveling tepig like a mofo but either way I'm stopping playing for the day I think

Should gift Pokemon count as catches for that area if it's a route with actual obtainable Pokemon? Like, would the Shuckle in Cianwood overwrite fishing or surfing?

Has there been a good Nuzlocke that uses Chikorita as their starter?

>>32539777
Nice Digits. Kind of triggers me that I chose that Azurill's name and now there's two "NIA" ending Pokemon on your team.

Wiped on the last Veteran in victory road. Please, do not bully

Retry with a different starter; Chaz the Chespin.

>>32539848
Everytime I run SS i pick Chikorita since its my favorite starter

>>32536490
Bizzare and limited of options, yes, but that's a point of a nuzlocke, right? We end up with team we wouldn't really have otherwise. I'm running Sun with set / no healing in battle, so it's taken quite a few lives so far. Got Tentacruel and Skarmory in reserves, Dhelmise from the latest encounter. Whimsicott is a random shiny, so I've been absolutely thrilled with Prankster shenanigans.

>>32539837
Yes

I repeatedly get absolutely shit luck (and put myself in bad situations) in Vanilla Black and have managed to wipe or put myself in wipe-adjacent situations about seven times now. How the hell do I deal with the early game???

>>32539759
I use photoshop. My layers are a cluster fuck though. Worth it though.

>>32539768
I would keep the first one. Even if the route is split in two, it's still one route to me

I'm grinding for Morty now. I haven't had any losses, but I'm a bit concerned since I don't have much of a type advantage this time. Only my Crobat's Bite and Stantler's Astonish. Will update my template after I get my team ready.

Do yourself a favor and run species clause in Sinnoh. Learned this the hard way, though Plat isn't quite as bad

just finished a run in emerald with blaziken/swellow/manectric/ludicolo/aggron/exploud - literally a standard team for me.

how do I stop cheating aaaaah/ maybe I should play Gen 1 or something i'm not so used to.

oh well pkmnrob doesnt really give his shit a plot its comedy

I got stopped at Surge in my SS Nuzlocke because the only survivors of my Elite Four team were weak to Electric. Is there a better place to grind than Victory Road?

Always expect high level fire types to have overheat

>>32542696
>ask for plot runs

Ugh, I bring this on myself...

Would you count outside and inside Mt. Ember different areas in a randomized run?

>>32542570
No losses. Might grind a bit more.

>>32542813
I didn't think there were even Pokemon to catch in Mt Ember exterior.

In any case, no.

>>32542772
tbf i completely blanked on the fact you asked for plot runs when i replied

>>32542724

Don't think so, unless you want to take advantage of the trainer rematches available today. You can call them up for battles as many times as you want given it is the right time of day.

>>32540152
My first successful black nuzlocke came on the 14th or so attempt. With enough experience/stubbornness you'll get through it

After 3 gyms and right in front of the 4th gym, it's been smooth sailing so far, though it is FireRed and all, even with set battle mode, only using 1 item for every the opponent uses and resetting their moves and levels for the transferred survivors.

Having an Altaria from Emerald really trivialized Misty though, even though I had an Oddish. Might have to think another rule to throw in when I do Platinum with these set of rules.

For reference, I walked out of Emerald with a Gyarados, Altaria, Dustox, Hariyama, and a Claydol.

Just got done with the poké flute stuff.

I've been dubbing whether or not I should replace Podge, since Pidgotite isn't in this game and Flep outclasses it in every way

Had my first loss in this SS locke when training my Rattata so I wouldn't have to worry about Raticates on route 38. Moved on to it, and ran into a Tauros. It's unfortunate that I lost something, but Tauros is the best thing I could have run into.

Zuzi died thanks to a crit tackle from a Litleo that was 8 levels below it. Goes to show that friendship evos suck .

>>32546648
Fucking christ. Missed 5/6 pokemon in the Safari zone. Had some great encounters too.

>>32543936
I clawed my way through Platinum, I'm sure you can do it too. Once you get Empoleon you'll be in a far better spot. Consider using Umbreon for Double Team/Toxic/Moonlight spam, especially since you have Crobat to resist fighting.

>>32543936
I'd recommend picking up your fossilmon too.

>>32539143

This run still, made lots of progress, also noticed I put Scraggy's name wrong, it's actually Queen Lizz. But anyway. I just defeated Hugh in Undella Town. Unfortunately, I finally had my first death - I lost Smoghead the Weezing to a Darmanitan in Reversal Mountain. One of those situations where I really couldn't switch anything in. Healing may have helped, but I guess I was expecting Belly Drum. Puts me in a tight spot actually, my box is full of redundant stuff.

>Torvus the Samurott, suddenly current MVP
>Buckle the Watchog, back in training again
>Amor the Swoobat, who is surprisingly less shit now and a hax king
>Lillian the Lilligant
>Queen Lizz the Scrafty
>ChaosAngel the Volcarona

I boxed Watchog when Volcarona turned out to be Calm natured, one of the best possible. Watchog only came back due to the death, and he's getting Exp Shared back up incase I need him badly. I was worried about Skyla, but Swoobat did the most work while Samurott helped out.

If I lose Swoobat, I do have a nice neutral natured Elgyem in the box, a Pokemon I've never used before. Chargestone Cave was disappointing - I got Joltik yet again, only it was Careful natured and didn't even have Compound Eyes. I think I get Joltik almost every time. Route 7 gave me a Tranquill, while Reversal Mountain gave me Skorupi and Strange House gave me Litwick, but I wish the latter two had swapped natures.

I'm really, really, hoping for either Tynamo, Garbodor, or Gligar (or I guess even Karrablast in later areas, as it wouldn't share weaknesses with Volcarona and isn't weak to Fighting), or I'm fucked against Fighting and Flying types. This is also the part of White 2 where the game gets hard, so I'm starting to get concerned.

>>32546372
At least you can give it fury cutter after bugsy

>>32550669
I tried fury cutter and dustox are incompatable
Even swift does not work

Do Platinum cartridges stop working on any of your 3DS?
Mine fails on my OG and New 3DS XL.
I was having a great time til it failed on me.
HG will have to do even if it's highly inferior I guess.

>>32550290

And there goes my Watchog. I accidentally activated a Triple Battle. He got sacced so that everyone else could live. Basculin got a crit anyway, I doubt anything else would have taken that.

What's a good level for the E4 in FR?
Current team's about ~47, but I see Lapras doing most of the work.

>>32551536
Never rely on one pokemon carrying you in a Nuzlocke. You never know what could happen.

>>32551578
I do have backups, but that's me being open to leaving Lapras a bit weaker than the rest of the squad.

>>32551254
pls respond idk if I should get another cartridge or if it's just Platinium in general
I live out on the road on a semi truck so finding Platinum might be a hassle too.

Finding this Fletchinder was a real good find, grass trial couldn't touch the bird at all.

Lost Muds because not paying attention while grinding and I lost Digs because it got one shot from full hp. It's just too much of a hassle to with it's super low health and defence to have to potion/switch out after literally 1 attack.

Whirly tanked 1 Air Cutter and it only did 15% of his hp. Didn't expect a crit to kill, was looking forward to using Polywrath.

Anyway since the rock type was the Kahuna I guess that means I'm jumping islands soon.

Going to visit route 7 first before doing story shit because I didn't encounter any pokes when I was last there as I avoided the water.

>>32552414
Spent an hour and a half grinding a Gastly up to level 23 and getting my Noctowl and Grotle up to 22 only to get crit'd twice

There goes my run, great.

>>32552509
It's awful, I know. But you can always keep trying.

>>32546853
PROGRESS: Rare candies count as revives in my runs, 2 revives PER mon. Brought back The Hots, and Dire. Dire did not see long, as early Iron Island saw it being crit by an Aipom. Breezed through Barry and Cyrus. Already went and picked up all the Surf goodies, I killed the Girafarig I found outside Pal Park by accident.
The team is

>Nailer the Seaking Lv.41
>The Hots the Infernape Lv.37
>Oskarou the Jolteon Lv.38
>CyberTron the Porygon Lv.34
>DC Dingle the Chimeco Lv.34

Dingle seems to have only learnt Double Edge. Genuinely concerned that he doesn't have a STAB move besides Confusion, this late in.

On the bright side, Nailer now has Waterfall, Oskarou is raping watermons with Thunder/bolt, and The Hots has an array of high powered STABs, with Shadow Claw as backup. I'm feelin good.

>>32552876
>revives
and I felt bad for allowing my 104 route catch to always be Wurmple...

What would be the bigger challenge?
HG with no mid battle items or a vanilla B2 nuzzy?
I don't like B2 too much but I hate super easy games even more.
Romhacks are not an option.

>>32553038
had to do it, first run i tried ended in the use of water types i bullshit caught in cities and such. plus, the first nuzlocke i did before was Y. Way harder this time around. apparently chimeco gets extrasensory in the lv 40s

I just trade with friends to evolve them. Nothing in the typical nuzlocke rules against it

Gary/Blue/Douche tops out at 63, and Lance at 60.

And just lost an hour or so worth of sped up grinding due to a tripped circuit. Fuck, got a level 17 Cynadaquil up to 45 and a Metang from 35 to 47 in that time.

>>32542570
Welp, excluding the rattata I tried to evolve to take Raticate off the list of things I'd have to catch, I lost my first pokemon. One that was actually on my team. Slippy the Quagsire fell while grinding. Got a crit on an Anger Point Tauros then took one.(Despite multiple Mud Bombs lowering its accuracy) You will be missed.

>>32554550
Welp, went into the cave thinking I'd get a Krabby/Kingler, and I found a Misdreavus. Not what I expected, especially since it's only a 5% encounter chance.
