What additional rules did you play with? No items in battle? A cap on how high you can level for each section of the game? A limit on your Duplicates Clause?

That's not the point. It's supposed to be a challenge, so you tweak and add rules to make it challenging for you.

if you don't get the appeal of making a piss easy game that you like into a harder one then what are you even doing in /nzg/ or /vp/ to begin with

Not mine, but my friend from work just finished completing his White 2 Nuzlocke. No extra rules or anything, nor was he playing on Challenge mode, but he was doing it completely blind. I'm proud of him.

Shortly after this picture, his Magnezone took a hit from the Archeops, and killed it with a Discharge, defeating Iris.

Guys I just started a AlphaS. Nuzlocke challebge but I am having trouble defining the rules regarding pokenav... I obvs won't be the first one if you allow its use but does somebody came up with a good fair rule already?

>>32879725
Started my blind HG nuzlocke. Haven't got anything from Dark Cave yet but should I trade Bellsprout for Onix? What's it's Nickname?

>>32881164
No Vectribell is better than onix in the long run. its nickname is Rocky

Does anyone have a quick rundown on nuzlockes for X/Y? The only difficult parts I remember are the Furfrou double trainers, death cave, and the surprise Korrina battle. Anyone got any pointers or suggestions?

skybattles. emolgas will fuck up any flying type you have.

I'm doing a Platinum nuzlocke at the moment and about to head into the Distortion World. I'm supposed to kill Giratina right?

>>32882331
No because the Destortion World is considered it's own area

>>32882425
But personally would you use a legendary for your run? Or just keep it as a sort of trophy or something?

>>32882331
depends on your own rules. I personally consider Legendaries to be boss battles and kill them all.

>>32882166
Use exp share

>>32884332
In fact, fuck it, I think I'm making this a clause for my runs. Anything killed by a OHKO move may be revived. I have no patience for these moves. No amount of skill or careful planning can counter them, they're just bullshit.

>>32883409
Stop projecting, you look like a fucking idiot

>>32884332
It's okay. I was doing a "no item" run, but my 3rd Pokemon, a buneary named "Parapet" has pickup, so I changed it to a "no pokemart" run. Feels wierd using hyper potion for 27 hp, but gotta save my little sister azumaril.

>>32884367

>>32884940
>caring about how they play their own nuzlocke
lol

>>32884947

If you're not following nuzlocke rules you might be having fun but you sure arent nuzlocking

Stop being a retard

>>32884958
nowhere in the "nuzlocke handbook" does it say you can't use legendaries.

>>32884947
>i want to play basketball but i want to use my feet to kick the ball instead because that's how i have fun
>okay but that's not really basketball
>NO U WRONG REEE

>>32884960
Nor do they tell you that savescumming is against the rules but that's common knowledge because it goes against the restrictions you imposed on yourself when you started nuzlocking anyway

>>32884958
>catch only the first pokemon in new area
>release any that faint
Did you forget the 2 original rules? Fucking retard
>>32884963
What a stupid comparison, dumbass

>>32884963
Your analogy would make sense if having legendaries was against the rules (which kicking the ball is in basketball).

>>32884973
Savescumming IS against the rules, if savescumming means going back in time to avoid one of your pokemon being killed. The rule is that if one of your pokemon dies then it must be released. So you're effectively breaking the rules by loading up another save and continuing on from a previous point with your "dead" pokemon.

>>32884992
You don't need to have a pokemon dying to savescum you know

You might just savestate and spam guilloutine till it works

>>32885000
In that case, it's not against the rules. You're still technically doing a nuzlocke, albeit on super easy mode.

>>32885020
In that case you're being a faggot. Just like when you use legendaries.

>>32885039
how old are you?

>>32885047
Old enough to know that when i'm doing challenge runs of children games i don't pick the easiest crutch avaliable while doing it because that makes no goddamn sense.

>>32885062
but apparently not old enough to stop calling people faggots when you disagree with them

>>32885062
I can't tell if you're being serious. Are you young enough to believe all legendaries are over powered? hahahahahaha fucking idiot

Well this took a couple of days. Busy, busy, busy.

Whole team has been raised to level 58. My next task will be to complete Victory Road, then beat my rival at the Pokémon League. The back to grinding until I hit 62, then the Elite 4.

So close, though. I originally didn't even want to do Platinum because of how ungodly difficult I heard it was. But, my Pearl version kept freezing on me, so I decided to just give it a try. Now here I am, almost at the end, with only 5 deaths.

>>32885175

This guy is a complete retard. Got wiped (as in full team wipes) twice before Whitney. Second time he even cheated himself a gyarados and infinite money/rare candies and he still lost. I'm in awe, i never knew someone could be this bad at pokemon. It's like a horrible car crash that you can't look away

>>32885302
and I'm through. Rival defeated for the final time, and I'm feeling good. Time to grind for the grand finale.

What's the catch rate of clefairy in FireRed again? God fucking dammit. Wasted two pokeballs trying to catch this bitch on red HP/sleeping and still failed. Ruined the entire rest of my room because no more pokeballs (and only one free great ball in the near future after wasting several good routes)

I think I went a little too hard on grinding, still getting close calls almost constantly but now wild encounters have lost their edge
this was a foolish thing to do

>>32886210
How do you evo James? Did you make sure you were able to?

>>32886236
I don't think I can, I picked him up on the route right before Foretree, been using him to fill the gap left behind by West
On route 120 everything but Azumaril are weak to flying or bug so I've been smacking shit with Butterfree constantly
Gonna have to fight May in the next town and I'm not sure what to expect

Can we come up with something more fun than Nuzlocke?

I'm tired of using all the basic bitch pokemon cause I can't catch anything fun..

Also lost my only flyer so now I have to walk everywhere and it's bullshit.

>>32886753
>I'm tired of using all the basic bitch pokemon cause I can't catch anything fun..
use a randomizer with catch em all mode enabled

or do a monotype

>>32886758
How does a nuzlocke monotype work? I just hope the first pokemon I meet is of a certain type?

>>32886779
if you know theres a pokemon of that type in the route you try till you capture it. if there are more than one then you just get the first. if there are none then you capture nothing. and the other usual rules still apply

>>32886791
So if I do a fire monotype I get fucked for most of the game?
Then I can't surf and can't fly if it's not gen 5?

>>32886795
Not even gen 5, gen 6.

>>32886795
Then you have specific rules for that if you can't find anything that can learn surf or fly.

>>32886795
then you use a randomizer

for HM slaves you use the same rules most people use for nuzlockes (capturing a pokemon only for that instead of restarting an entire run because RNG didnt gave you any birbs)

>>32886795
>So if I do a fire monotype I get fucked for most of the game?
even Hoenn and Sinnoh which are the shittiest in term of fire pokemon can easily be monotype

anything past gen2 is not a problem. good luck monotyping dark in gold or ghost in yellow though

>>32886878
In gen 3 you have 3 or 4 routes with a chance of catching a fire type.
That plus starter.

Meaning you can't have a pokemon die.

>>32886795
i do a thing where i catch the first pokemon of the specific type on route, but if there is none of that type, then i catch the closest thing to it. That means that if i choose fire, then i'm allowed to catch a dragon pokemon (dragons breathe fire), and poison pokemon (cause poison is dangerous, like fire) if there are no fire pokemon on the route. However, if i manage to get 3 fire pokemon on my team, I'm no longer allowed to have any non-fire types on my team.

The same goes for bug pokemon, where i allow myself to catch, let's say, zubats, if there are no other bugs on the route, since bats are technically insects. You can get creative with this. If your type is ice, then your team can be wholly mineral-based (rock, ground, steel), and a psychic run can include things like dark, fairy, and ghost.

At the start of the run, your team is going to be very diverse, but as you visit more and more routes, your team slowly begins to look like the type you go after.

>>32886888
>In gen 3 you have 3 or 4 routes with a chance of catching a fire type.


there are several routes with numel and torkoal

>>32886899
>That means that if i choose fire, then i'm allowed to catch a dragon pokemon (dragons breathe fire), and poison pokemon (cause poison is dangerous, like fire) if there are no fire pokemon on the route

That's a gold medal stretch

I just capture pokemon that can learn fire moves and only use fire moves with them

Just completed my Leaf green random nuzlocke. Now the real question is, do I move on to Platinum or do post game?

>>32886948
What post game, sevii islands? they're crap

>>32886946
it takes a long while before you get a fire TM in most of the games. And when you do, you've probably already have a good selection of fire pokes. And yes, it is a stretch, but it beats having a team just consisting of your starter for half the game.

>>32886960
>it takes a long while before you get a fire TM in most of the games
you can get fire moves pretty early in gen 1, 2 and 3

cant speak for anything past 4 except for 7 where you can buy them on the first island (and non shitty ones in the second)

Mushu the Garchomp was an early casualty. Aaron's Heracross was much tougher than I gave it credit for. It took a direct Fire Fang, and responded with a crit Megahorn that downed him. My strongest team member, dead in the first fight.

Everyone else survived to Cynthia. Mickey the Raichu fell after paralyzing her Lucario, allowing Mr. Winkie the Floatzel the turns he needed to kill it. Mr. Winkie, however, was low on health and burned from her Garchomp, and went down fighting against her Togekiss.

That sounds worrying.

As someone who doesn't believe in using the dupes clause I've had a good spread of mons with only one duplicate so far. Still most of them are birbs so if the final fight is rock or electric I'm thoroughly screwed. Current stars are my Pichu who has survived 5 or so times on 1 hp and has the heart of a champion, and my Magnemite who tanks everything because STEEL STRONK.

You're comparing the usage of them in a competitive scenario where they are against Pokemon with perfect IVs, EVs, and move sets vs trainers meant to be beaten by 7 year olds.

Scrolling through my Pokemon to see where I hadnt caught anything (remembering I went through some places with repels when low on hp) I went back to Fiery Path to hopefully pick up a Grimer or a Machop since they were there in original Emerald.
Ended up catching a fucking Kanga, what luck
My Onix bit the dust and I threw Lampent back into the box until I find it's stone
just cleared out Mt. Pyre so next is the Magma hideout right? That's somewhere near Flannery's town I think

I kind of went overboard with grinding on Butterfree when I had the chance, was expecting higher levels by now but it's all hovering around 70's and almost up to 80's
Just found a grass patch in Lillycove that has level 60 Audinos in the wild but I killed the first one by mistake so now I can just catch my other pokes up there

Look at the top card of your deck. Replace them on the top of your deck face-down in the same order. Add the top card of your deck to your hand. Then, draw one (1) card. After Pot of Greed has finished resolving, place it on the top of your graveyard face-up.

Are there any good blazeblack style hacks of platinum or emerald?

First loss of the run, to a fucking Abra in Eterna forest. What the fuck was that hidden power even? I wasn't expecting a OHKO hit without it even being supereffective.
And another fucking Scyther as the catch. Yay. I'll never manage to get a Vespiquen short of stopping playing nuzlocke runs.
Oh, it's perfect platinum if you were wondering about the weird catch distribution. There's basically 10 different pokes every route.

Hey guys,
Ive never run a Nuzlocke before but I'm going to run HG/SS and Ive got a few questions.

Are their any game specific restrictions?
Are their any ways to make it feel like less of a grind fest?
Are the legendary dogs allowed if its the first pokemon you encounter on a route?
Are the first few routes a blank since you dont get pokeballs, or can you back track to get mons on them?
Can I use 3 routes worth of pokemon to circumvent the duplicate clause and obtain a Heracross for the run? e.g catching a spearow on 1 route and an aipom on another to guarantee duplicate encounters till I get a Heracross

>>32891082
>Are their any game specific restrictions?
No. Unless you wanna add your own.
>Are their any ways to make it feel like less of a grind fest?
You're not gonna need to grind any more than with normal runs. There's no need for you to overlevel to complete a nuzlocke run, in fact if anything it's frowned upon.
>Are the legendary dogs allowed if its the first pokemon you encounter on a route?
Sure, why not?
>Are the first few routes a blank since you dont get pokeballs, or can you back track to get mons on them?
Most people start applying the catch rule when the balls become available.
>Can I use 3 routes worth of pokemon to circumvent the duplicate clause and obtain a Heracross for the run? e.g catching a spearow on 1 route and an aipom on another to guarantee duplicate encounters till I get a Heracross
Yes you can. In fact more than a few high difficulty runs rely on this strategy. Ask yourself this tho: why are you playing nuzlocke? Is there a point to specifically look for certain pokemon when the whole point of the challenge is making do and being surprised?

>>32891118
Thanks for the reply,
I mostly want to use Heracross because Ive grown fond of it recently and I have never used it in game before, hence why I picked HG/SS

Another Nuzlocke run, another Aron bites the dust in the 20s.
Godfuckingdamnit. Buneary learns jump kick at level 23. Who fucking knew. I didn't, and my poor Aron got the OHKO.
I'm gonna need a flier and surfer soon. I'm gonna take a chance on finally training up an Altaria for the flier, but I'm not convinced about my surfer choices. Also I should probably pick up Bronzor, I kinda need a special tank and Grotle is being very disappointing at it.

Try Mega Aggron in ORAS. It's broken as fuck. Probably the only reason mine lived was because of the Mega, as I lost one in White 2's Victory Road before that.

I've managed to lose Scrafty twice myself. It's really not as bulky as it needs to be thanks to it's crap HP. Same with the Machop line, but at least I had ONE reach the Hall of Fame without dying.

>>32892454
Voted WITH, but feels like too much of a hassle to keep in mind. Two runs means something like 50-80 lines for most players.

I voted with. That said, I still catch the first mon I see in reverence to the rules, I'll just give preferential treatment / use to mons I didn't use previously. Unless I'm doing something like the autism quest where I'm playing games within the same gen, the variety is usually just so that I don't run into too many duplicates.

So, started my way to Mr. Pokemon and to my surprise Eevee has a pretty cool, yet sometimes unreliable ability. Go to Mr. Pokemon get the Egg, make it back to New Bark but battle my rival with a Treeko (pretty cool). Name the rival Binky and get some Pokeballs (Friend Balls actually).

When I was playing around with Avalon's ability before I making my way to Mr. Pokemon,I noticed that theroute I was in had Zorua, Starly, and Ralts (Route 29). So left New Bark Twon to catch my first Pokemon and I get a Zigzagoon. What a letdown, or so I thought. Plum has become a team priority after learning Headbutt and noticing she has Pickup. She netted me a lot of berries so far. And TM Rest which I sold.

Went up to Route 46 to catch a Taillow named Cranberry. Not a Starly but could have been worse.

I went north of Cherrygrove City to catch a Sewaddle named Caesar. My squad is slowly becoming a threat, all level 10.

Tried to headbutt the trees in Cherrygrove City for an encounter, but I guess they yeild no encounters? I need to look it up online to see if it's true.

Cranberry decimated the trainers on Route 30 with Peck. He's becoming a powerhouse.

Made it to Route 31 and saw some Headbutt Trees, so decide to use it for my encounter. AND A HERACROSS COMES OUT. I've never ever used one before so I was excited, but underestimated it. Taillow brought it down to red, and I start throwing Pokeballs. I guess it has a low catch rate and killed Cranberry with a crit Aerial Ace. THEN it got a Moxie boost! Sent out Plum to try and catch it. FINALLY caught it with 2 HP left and a Pokeball to spare.

Made it to Violet City without getting my Dark Cave encounter (I'll get it once I get Pokeballs) saw the Gen 6 starters in some house, but the guy was speaking spanish (I'm guessing I have to beat the Gym).

I'm going to defeat Sprout Tower, buy balls, get the Dark Cave encounter, then challenge the Gym.

Chikorita
Hoothoot
Geodude
Slugma
a bunch of shit in the box.

Still have the following catches available to me:
Bug Catching Contest
Route east of that
route north of that
Eucreteak
Burned Tower
Cave to the east of Euc
Route west of Euc
etc

>>32894013
Is it also a NFE run too?

Anyways, if you have any stat boosting moves, like Defense Curl, use it against his Gastly since it can only hit you with Lick. Max out in your Stats then kill his other mons.

Or lead out with Hoothoot. Gastly can't touch you and Gengar and 2 Haunters can only hit you with Sucker Punch. Hypnosis them and Extrasensory them to death.

>>32894090
For some reason I thought Morty's mons had Dream Eater. I'm now aware that was only gen 2 johto.

Also its not a NFE run. I have Bayleef. Just typed the wrong name.

Thanks Anon.

>>32893878
oh, right, i still have a celadon encounter

can't use aerodactyl because he's retired from another run. where can i get a togepi? ain't it in postgame sevii islands?

Before I wanted to face Faulkner, I wanted to complete Sprout Tower for money to buy Pokeballs. I encountered Gastly and named him Wister. Easily defeated the monks, bought balls, went to Dark Cave and encountered Zubat named her Countess.

Then I went to the route west of Violet City and Headbutted a tree that yeilded Exeggcute and named him Easter. Then I went south to Ruins of Alph (which just now realized Alph is short for Alphabet = Unowns) and encountered a Psyduck in a patch of grass there. Named him Crasher, and am pretty stoked because I've never used a Golduck before.

Potions stocked up, enter the gym and defeat the first trainer. When I went to go heal my Pokemon at the PokeCenter, to my horror, learned that I couldn't leave the Gym. There was a guy outside that said "Attention" or "Caution" or "Warning" something like that, but I thought that he was just saying that the Gym Leader was strong, not that I couldn't leave. Now it gets serious.

I defeat the other trainer with no problems. Now it's Faulkner (Or F30005Eoo as the text said. I don't know what that was about) and lead out with Wister. Wister Hypnosis's both his Taillow and Murkrow and disposed of them swiftly. But his Staravia was the true killer. It dodged the first Hypnosis and playing around with Potions, I had an opportunity to land another Hypnosis, but missed again and Wister unfortunately died. I sent out Plum to try and get some flinches and sadly was killed also. That really hurt me. I couldn't send in Rhino, so I had to bring out Avalon and gamble with its ability, which finally changed the attack to a Rock-type move.

Got the Gym Badge and took the Egg from the Aid in the PokeCenterand hatched it into a Togepi named Acute. Went to the Kalos house and chose Hocus, the Fennekin.

Still bummed about Wister and Plum. Now I'm going south.

Man, I'm having a hard time deciding who I want to use on my team in my Moon Nuzlocke. Just caught an Adamant Wishiwashi, which is an interesting nature for it, and am preparing for the Wishiwashi Trial.

Currently I'm sitting on Torracat, Cutiefly, Drifloon, Wishiwashi, Magnemite, and Fomantis. But, I have a Zubat, a Mudbray, a Carbink, and a Skill Link Pikipek all sitting in the box that I would love to use as well. I guess it's better to have too many options, rather than too few, but this Locke is making this difficult for me.

You guys ready for a horror story?

Made a randomized Diamond to Nuzlocke, all 3 starters normal types, route 201 covered in fighting types and Munchlax is too slow to run away. Finally get a team going, but the first gym is also Fighting. Sweep it with a Venomoth and move on.

So I've got a Munchlax, Nidorina, Venomoth, Oddish, Psyduck and Vulpix. Feelin' like hot shit. Walk into the Windworks to fight Galactic Mars.

Giratina. Roar it away to deal with it later. Palkia. All my Pokémon except Munchlax get two shotted setting up poison on Palkia or switching out to scramble some heals. Palkia finally dies of poison and it's 1 on 1 with Giratina and my starter. Spam amnesia and potions between metronomes. Survive with 8 HP and paralysis. Hope I can catch something in the forest before I gotta fight Gardenia.

Nuzlock question here!
In X/Y, are the berry fields a distinct, separate area from route 7? I ask because I have deliberately *not* set foot in the tall grass on this route with anticipation of catching the Snorlax sleeping on the bridge, but my berry field trees were infested with bugs, and the first one I saw is a pretty tough Volbeat!

So: can I catch the bug *and* the Snorlax? Or did I just ruin my very small plan?

I say it's fine. But I would double check the Volbeat's summary when you catch it to see if it says Route 7 or not.

>>32895915
And that's why you don't allow trainers to have legendaries.

>>32896035
Yeah, so the Volbeat says it was caught on route 7. Tough break for me, but, well, I don't have a bug type, so I'm willing to overlook this. Anyhow, Snorlax isn't going to be joining my crew, instead I welcomed Hypothesis, the Volbeat! By sending him to PC box 1.

Also, I'm really glad no one gives a shit that I'm a mobilefag for now. It's just really hard for me to play ubless it's 5 minutes before I get out of bed or fall asleep, or during my breaks at work.

Also dealing with my grandfather on my days off, he's in early stages of dementia and my father sent me a weird text that ended with "he's not doing so well, this is more important than cutting grass", whatever the fuck that means.

>>32897025

>>32897025
fuck, man. dementia sucks. be prepared for a rollercoster - he might seem better on some days, and then just... be foggy on others. hang in there, bro.

Finally got around to transferring all of my Nuzlocke Champions to Pokébank.

First row is LeafGreen
Second row is Alpha Sapphire
Third row is White
Fourth row is Platinum

And now, back to working on Moon.

>>32897760
why did you only run 2 pokemon in AS and White?

I wrote a big giant post on the Nuzlocke forums saying that Kynim's backstory to her nuzlocke was boring and autistic, and it got deleted for being condescending and namecalling.

I'm sad.

>>32897856
they died tardo

>>32897895
>nuzlocke forums
why though

>>32897856

>>32897901
this.

>>32897905
Where else am I supposed to write my big autistic posts about my ideas to rewrite BW1's story? A blog that nobody will read? A 4chan post that'll get archived and forever forgotten about after five minutes? A Tumblr ask that'll never be replied to because it comes off as threatening?

>>32897924
but they didn't actually die though

>>32897931
They got knocked out during the Elite 4/Champion, so they died. Released them as soon as the credits stopped rolling.

By what logic did they not die?

>>32897935
It makes no sense for nuzlocke rules to apply to games where you're not actually doing the nuzlocke.

>>32897946
anon, are you drunk?

Those were my survivors from my main teams of my successful Nuzlockes. It makes perfect sense to apply Nuzlocke rules when I'm Nuzlocking.

>>32897954
When you're transferring them to the Pokébank, your Nuzlocke run is over.

>>32897955
Sure, but the Pokemon that died during the E4 are dead... You can't pretend they didn't die.

>>32897955
I literally have no idea what you're even trying to say anymore. Put the drink down and go to bed, anon.

>>32897967
Dead in relation to the Nuzlocke run. But if the run is over, the rules don't matter anymore.

>>32897969
Transfering dead Pokemon out is nonsense. The rules for that person are that Pokemon need to be released when they die. Crossing the finish line with corpses in your party doesn't bring them back to life for you to transfer. That just cheapens the whole experience.

>>32897905

The people on the Nuzlocke forums are more interested in their fanfiction than the actual challenge. That's why you just camp in Challenge Discussion. The Final Team Frequency thread is the best, I love seeing what people bring to the end.

Two more bite the dust, courtesy of the fucking fog route to Celestic, misses galore due to me not carrying a slave.
Sappho got me through a lot of fights, dying at the h.. blade of another Scyther was harsh. And while I kinda despised Monk's lack of bulk, he still rekt half the mons in Maylene's gym.
I'm seriously considering evolving Solaire before crunch just to shore up his bulk for safety, and keeping Cloudia on exp.share reserve until she evolves too, also for safety.

>>32897303

Cartridge.
I've got a few things in the bank. I haven't actually lost anything yet, but I've never played Gen 2 and only know it's long as fuck and that the next gyms are normal and I think ghost.

>>32899511
Er, box, not bank

So I started a Colourlocke today. I'm playing White, and I decided I can only use Pokemon considered Grey in the Pokedex, via Bulbapedo's list. Anything not Grey that evolves into a Grey coloured mon is fine as it is eventually Grey, but I can't evolve a Grey coloured mon into a non-Grey coloured one.

My only real unusual rules therefore are:

>first eligble encounter
>only one of each evolutionary line can be captured, meaning if I lose something, I can't get a replacement - I can retry if I fail a capture at a later route, but once captured, that's it

Fortunately, it's going well so far. I've just walked into Nacrene City, all at level 17. Next up is to get Timburr from Pinwheel Forest - can't go any further than Gurrdurr, but a Gurrdurr with an Eviolite will be a useful ally if it gets that far. I only had Lillipup until Route 3, so everything up to then was a solo run, making Cress no problem.

>Jimmy the Herdier, Bashful, Intimidate, my real starter after benching Walter the Brave Tepig
>Chuck the Pidove, Lax, Big Pecks, who took a million balls
>Kim the Drilbur, Impish, Sand Force

Eligible species are:

>Lillipup line, though Lillipup is Brown, the other two are Gray
>Pidove line
>Drilbur line - Excadrill is Grey somehow
>Timburr and Gurrdurr, but not Conkeldurr, who is Brown
>Whirlipede (both Venipede and Scolipede are red, but I could still get Venipede and evolve it)
>Zorua and Zoroark, but they're not in White
>Mincino line
>Escavalier, which necessitates Karrablast and evolving immediately
>Klink line
>Ferroseed line - I'll pray I get this in Chargestone Cave so I can get Klink in the P2 Laboratory later on
>Durant and Terrakion, who are mutually exclusive as they're both in Victory Road, and Terrakion requires me to kill Cobalion first, he's Blue and is therefore an enemy

Thanks. I've run White like 3 times already, so I'm having a more interesting ruleset this time. The hard part will be the limited captures and lack of Fire and Water resists. I thought about doing a Gray locke in Sun, but I felt it would be more interesting in White due to how few mons there are.

Are any Pokemon swapped around in there? It just looks like they used gen 1 starters and a gift Eevee early on.

>>32898873
Tip: Don't lose.
But no, really, gen 2 isn't terribly difficult. I can guarantee you're going to lose at least one to Whitney, she's a fucking meme. If you've played before and know what to expect she's a breeze, but blind? All I can say is Metronome and Rollout are really obnoxious on Pokemon that can take a hit.

well i'm going to look up the gym leaders on bulbawiki to make sure i don't get completely smashed, but otherwise it's a blind run. Though i feel that Whitney should be easy with a decent geodude, so i don't think i need to be worried.

also here's my progress so far

What does everyone consider the "end" of HG/SS? As far as a Nuzlocke goes, anyway. Getting badge? E4 rematch? Red?

>>32900342
That's not blind anon

>>32900377
i thought blind meant that i haven't done a playthrough of that game before. which i haven't.

>>32900386
Blind means blind, you don't know what you're up against or where to go.

>>32898929
I'm not sure if all games use only 1 pokemon, and sometimes they have to look for it (see Nidoran in RBY). There may also be some intentional losses to warp back to pokecenters, but that may be my memory tricking me.

>>32900342

Do I just not have the stomach for grinding like I had as a kid, or is there something about nuzlocke runs that puts the player behind the leveling curve? I mean even while losing just 3-4 team members I'm generally 5 level behind the curve on average by the 8 gym.

>>32901348

I grind quite a lot, so maybe it's you. I find myself trying not to overlevel sometimes.

Grinding is still ass though. Any way to make it quicker, I will.

Godfuckingdamnit, that has got to be a fucking bug. Either a bug where the repel spawns wildly overlevelled mons, or a bug in that the hack who made Perfect Platinum somehow got a whole floor worth of wild pokemon slots on Mt. Coronet vastly overlevelled.

Repel only keeps Pokemon away that are lower level then the lead of your party. Also if you're playing a Romhack then it was probably an intentional design choice.

Not to be the fag that says 'I had it worse', but I got 2 horndrills to Glacia during my last run.

I didn't have the ability to raise any new ones, I wiped and it was game over. You still have the chance to raise someone new. I'm sure it feels like shit, but you'll just have to love it's replacement twice as much ig.

Godspeed.

Oh, and now i have no one to icebeam the dragons other than Nidoking and Kabutops (both with crappy sp atk). At least dunsparce had yawn and calm mind to set up

>it was probably an intentional design choice
To add wilds 20 level stronger than the area boss (Cyrus)? Only on one floor, a mandatory one, everyone else normally leveled? In a romhack that ought not affect difficulty?
No, I don't think so.

>>32901129
This is my up to date, in Goldenrod
What's the policy on game corner 'mons? Only one since it's a unique location?

>>32900342
got wiped. Silver has surprisingly many encounters that you don't expect to be tough, but ends up killing half your team. In retrospect it might have been a bad idea to do all the nuzlockes chronological, since I'm playing around gen 1 movesets in a gen 2 game. I mean who would know that a lv 14 diglett suddenly has magnitude, when the only ground move he had in Yellow was Dig at level 19. I'm gonna try again though. There's surprisingly not lot of grinding if you pick the right types on your team.
