About yo face the ghost trial. Any ideas on team members?

>>32979996
Nope, I suggest leading with Magnit, break Mimikyu's diguise with Thunder shock and then Mirror Shoot it.

It's how I did it.

>>32979996
Eviolite on Magnit btw.

Blaze Black 2, could go to the first gym right now

what are my chances?

also buffed dustox isn't all that bad

>>32980726
If Mareep has Thunder Wave then you should be fine if you have a potion or two, bite and work up are probably the most dangerous moves Cheren has.

>>32980775
it's blazeblack, not regular black so I'm not entirely sure what cheren has, but given the theme of the romhack, it's bound to be worse than usual

also dustox has electroweb so mareep is probably not going to see to much action

>>32980799
If it's blaze black 2 then I would train a bit more. Cheren starts with a Minccino with Technician and ends with a Munchlax.

>>32980851
going to assume all of his 'mons also carry oran berries

I hope so actually, dustox has bug bite and I could use it to heal

>>32980864
Munchlax is the only one with an oran berry. His lillipup has a Cell battery and Minccino has no items. So buy potions.

okay, thanks for the heads up given I was planning to use electroweb as my main attack
I'm hedging my bets on dustox, it's got good enough defensive stats to live through the first few attacks and if they decide to star working up he's got iron defense
I'm also pretty damn happy you can get HA's regularly on several 'mons, my starter having shell armor is a friggin' godsend in a nuzlocke

>>32980924
Shell Armor Oshawott will be clutch throughout your nuzlocke that's for sure. Good Luck vs Cheren.

Yay, won the league challenge.
Rocca the Aerodactyl didn't make it, ate a Hydropump from Gary's Gyarados.
Roy the Vaporeon and Solaire the Arcanine co-MVP of the game, bless them. Most of my team members were frankly disappointing this run, yet these two made the game winnable basically on their own.

>>32981248
Good job. Why was your team mostly dissapointing? Bad movesets?

>>32981248
Sorry, you're not tripfagging so I can't go back and look it up, which two were from the previous game and which game were they from?

>>32981306
>Why was your team mostly dissapointing? Bad movesets?
Bad movesets indeed. I was forced to use razorleaf and then frenzy plant on Venusaur for the whole game. I tried earthquake, but the damage was pitiful. Also Venomoth's only useful move was Psychic, which routinely failed to ohko same level weak pokemon.
Really the issue was the lack of phys/spec split, it really hurts a lot of mons.
On the other hand, Arcanine with bite/flamethrower/aerial ace/extremespeed and a modest nature was a a goddamn bulldozer, not to mention bulky as fuck. And Vaporeon was basically the same with bite/surf/ice beam/acid armor.
It's pretty rare for me not to have my starter be the main pokemon, but in this run Venusaur came a whopping third, and with a whole two sets of first-second places: Pidgeotto-Dugtrio from Viridian to Lavender, Arcanine-Vaporeon from Celadon to Indigo.

>>32981308

So after Lusamine ended two of my first catches, including my starter, their replacements are finally ready for it.

Fauna the Lurantis and Murdoc the Mudsdale. Herdier's ability was Sand rush so he was useless.

Also picked up the Psychicium Z, since they're basically the badges in these games.

>>32981376
Damn, that sounds horrible on the Venusaur part. Venomoth really doesn't pack much of a punch either. But that does sound like a monster Arcanine.

Playing a fire red random nuzlocke. Had to restart from last night after I got wrecked by a gound/fire mon in Viridian forest. ruined my whole team.

This is the new team and its doing wonderfully well.

Got tired of grinding, wiped to lorelei. If I hadn't lost 2 of my best mons to a double crit from giovanni, I probably would have won. I'm just gonna reset, see ya in a few, /vp/.

>>32981435
Jesus Christ, almost wiped on a Trainer's Toxapex.

Highlights include;
>Crit acid Downpour on Pelipper leaving her with 2 hp.
Thank god I stockpiled.
>Hitting literally every liquidation on a Minimized Muk.
>Only option was Lurantis whose Leaf Blade didn't kill it, but left it in red.
>Survived because Toxapex full para'd.

So fucking lucky. And it's retarded that the level cap goes from 41 on Aether Paradise to 45 when encountering the first trainer.

Hapu was a joke. Only Flygon was troubling

Started of with Fauna. Scope Lense/Leaf blade is a god an bye bye goes Dugtrio.

Flygon was trickier, first I try Wanda. Water Pulse didn't do jack and one dragon breath and she's on half. Misder then, his Sp. Def is the highest, barring Garbo, so after a few shadowballin' it went down.

Then her ace; Mudsdale. Decided to throw in Wanda again and hit protect to scout out what move it has.
>Mudsdale used Double kick.
Get this, apparently Hapu's ace hasn't got anything for a Pelipper. Two waterpulses and it's dead.

Fauna finished Hapu off by killing her Gastrodon with Solar Blade.

>>32980726
So I just challenged the first gym and let me say HOLY SHIT
Blazeblack 2 challenge mode does NOT fuck around, 6 pokemon on the first gym, good coverage on most of them
thankfully I lost nothing because dustox with 3 iron defenses behind him is sturdy as fuck but without him that'd have been a massacre

and I'm supposed to only get 1 more capture before the next gym which I don't think dustox can clutch me through as easily

Good luck senpai.

But picking Squirtle of Bulbasaur makes your lack of taste visible

>>32983510
I actually just chose a starter based on my ID number.

That being said, Squirtle is a bro! When I was a kid, he was my first Pokeyman.
I'm pretty much happy with all the starters in all the Pokemon games, they are all kind of cool.

Is it just me or did 90% of the board get nuked?

I can't thing of names for these little bastards.

Staraptor sadly and ironically perished to a brave bird crit during the E4.
Steelix and Meganium were the dream team that took down Cynthia's Garchomp. Her Garchomp of lvl 62 got randomized to Garchomp, go figure.

Took down Misty and her Flying Venusaur (yay random) but not without casualty. Lost an electric skitty to a rather damaging body slam.

Had to drop out Sandabura since his attack stat wasn't raising. lv18 and still 11 SpAtk. Banked Silveruar in favor of Ashmite, since I already had a ghost mon. And picked up Gothingale on route 5. Onwards, to the S.S.Anne

I posted my Emerald Nuzlocke team a few threads ago and it was advised that I grind it out a bit more. Whoever told me that, thank you, because you probably saved my life. The jump in level from the E4 to Wallace was incredibly scary and I lost a good pokemon (Magneton), but I'm happy to say our team made it out alive.

Notable brickshiting moments include Phoebe getting back to back crits and almost dropping my Magneton early, my Gardevoir getting para'd by Walrein and almost wrecked by Body Slam, and Flygon outspeeding my Milotic and nearly killing it.

Thank God for Calm Mind, because Calm Mind + Thunderbolt wrecked Glacia and Wallace once I had gotten a couple off. This game was fantastic with some fun opponents but holy cow, this felt like a way more brutal endgame than Leaf Green.

>>32985032
leafgreen is easy mode, emerald is just a tad more difficult

Leaf Green was pretty smooth, since I had a pretty solid team (Venusaur, Aerodactyl, Nidoqueen, Cloyster, Ninetales, Magneton), and I felt like the enemy trainers had teams that were really vulnerable to certain things, like Magneton. Magneton just seems amazing every gen. Not really sure what I'd like to Nuzlocke next. I'm considering SS but I could just wait for the VC release of G/S, too.

Might as well post my Emerald team again too (and I get to show off best boy Milotic).

>>32985158
>Magneton
I always have a Magneton when I'm playing through that games normally. He's just TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL.

I'm doing a challenge where I'm playing through all of the Pokemon games, transferring any of the survivors to the next game. I only have one rule outside of a standard nuzlocke run, No pokemon on your team may enter a battle with a Gym leader being higher level than their lowest level Pokemon.

So, when facing brock, your highest level Pokemon can only be level 12. This doesn't count for Elite Four, but it still makes Gym leaders more of a challenge. This is my first nuzlocke though, so I'm sure I'm in for a nasty surprise later on.

>>32985234
That's pretty hardcore, I just use Set mode. Good luck on your run. Hope you get some cool stuff, there's little in the way of good stuff before the 2nd gym imo.

Hey, anons, chessfag here. I've been revising my "Chessway Challenge" ruleset based on feedback I received in previous threads and I was wondering what you think of the current form. Here are the changes:
* Players are no longer permitted to "skip" catching a pokemon in a given area and then return to it later. This lenience had been allowed because the chess piece role system was more complex and restrictive in the previous version.
* Legendaries are now expessly forbidden, even as Queen.
* To simplify the role system, pseudolegendaries and "starters" acquired later in the game can now fill any role they otherwise qualify for.
* The qualifications for Bishops, Knights, and Rooks are no longer based on the EVs the pokemon gives to avoid players needing to look stuff up. Now they're based on three intuitive type divisions, a "mystical and energy" division for Bishops because they're clergy, an "animal" division for Knights because its piece resembles a horse, and a "material" division for Rooks since its piece resembles a castle.
* Knights can no longer use Z-moves, only the Queen can.
* Since the qualifications for the various pieces are no longer as complicated or as likely to remain empty, partial pawn promotion has been removed.
* Full pawn promotion is no longer optional, to force players to either make difficult strategic decisions or keep their pawns weak.
* Pokemon are now required to be healed in order of the rank of their chess piece to reinforce the hierarchy of the ranks and increase the difficulty.
* Pawns can no longer equip items since they're supposed to be posessionless serfs and disposable cannon fodder.

The general philosophy behind these changes was to reduce hassle for the player while increasing difficulty. Is this becoming a viable style of challenge run?

Fuck Route 4.

So many cool things I could have gotten there. Flabébé's the most common, and I get it most Lockes. Ralts is always a fun one, especially if it's Male, because then you get to evolve it into whichever one its nature best supports. Skitty's not great, but can be a huge help with the early game as an annoyer. Female Combee is basically the gold mine of the route, leading to an awesome Vespiquen down the line.

I wanted anything, literally anything, that wasn't a Male Combee or a Ledyba.

Man, you're getting hit from all sides. Gotta stay on you toes! I can't criticize you, I just lost two of my team by not using items.

This is my first Nuzlocke, and I'm quickly finding out just how much harder than a normal run they are...

>>32988509
How is the Heirlocke working out, would you say? I imagine it'd have a very similar feel to a Wedlocke, just because of the whole "stuck with what you get first" thing.

I don't usually lose Pokemon this early. I usually only lose 1 before Norman, and then 1 at Norman and Wionna, 2-4 to T&L, and then 1 or 2 to Wallace.

Meet Mimsy II though!

I do feel like I've had it very easy though. Spheal, Crocanaw, and Hitmonchan are beasts. Gardevoir and Nidoking would have too.

Bambi II met an ill fate when I got drunk and remembered that I was angry at it.

Man, this Sun nuzlocke is brutal. After having my entire team slaughtered by Totem Lurantis (which Ice Fang Gyarados singlehandedly avenged), I just lost my very first capture of the run, Cake the Gentle Raichu, to a Fisherman's Gyarados in the Akala Outskirts. A Thunder Shock failed to OHKO it and it ended Cake's run. At least now I have reason to use that Eevee I've been saving since Route 4. Caught some new guys. Time to take on Olivia

This is THE problem with running Kalos. In half the routes, you can get something amazing, or something worthless.

Kind of happens in BW2's early parts as well. Everything good is in Floccesy Ranch but you can still get Patrat, or how Virbank Complex can also troll you with one or a Pidove. But Pidove is at least not bad at all in my opinion.

My last update before going to bed. How do y'all think I'm doin'? I've already lost three mons, but I just beat Misty and headed to Vermillion to catch Drowzee.

I think I'm gonna catch a Diglett before I face Surge.

>>32988880
Well that went well. Tsareena tanked that Z-Move like a champ, what a bulky babe. I used Hips: The Mon against Hips: The Captain with no troubles. Time now to take on all the Trial Captains again and pray their Z-moves don't kill me.

>>32989010
Doing just fine, friend. Beedrill is too brittle to last long anyway, Zubat isn't worth much since it can't become Crobat until postgame, and Raticate a shit. You have a bretty gud team, add that Diglett and I'd be surprised if you have much trouble.

>>32989010

Looking pretty good, and surprisingly balanced for early Kanto. Grind enough for Surge and he should be easy, though Diglett is super frail.

Down I go for the night. I have some grinding to do, now that I've got a real team going at last. i think level 20 should be fine before making my way through Route 8. That gives me a 5 level buffer on everyone to beat Route 8, Team Flare, and the gym trainers.

Pleasantly surprised that I haven't lost anyone yet. I'm doing much better than I usually do in Y Nuzlockes.

If I recall you can run from Dialga if things go south, it's only from Gen 5 and onward that you have to battle/catch the legendary.

it's a new area so i technically could use it but screw legendaries

>>32990255
That does sound like a bad situation to be in, well atleast you survived. Don't forget to eventually grind for Cynthia.

>>32990324
i dont even know what cynthia have besides a garchomp

without spoiling me on the teams which levels should i be aiming to grind for E4?

>>32990355
The E4 is between lvl 52 - 58. But Cynthia's Garchomp is lvl 62 and two of her pokemon are 60. I'd say if you enter around lvl 52 - 55 you'd have a shot without being overleveled. Otherwise go for 55 - 58

I got too bored to play normally BEFORE nuzlocking. That's why I took on the challenge in the first place.

>>32991314
yes, it's why I will never get to the end of Clover. I've seen spoilers and know how brutal the e4 is though so it may be possible non-blind

anyone here still stream? i remember a couple years ago there were quite a few but its been ages since i saw someone stream

>>32991314

After Nuzlocking White, I didn't do another Nuzlocke again for a few months, and played X normally as it was when the game had just come out. But somewhere, in the back of my mind, there had been this itch. This itch to do more Nuzlockes. So I did Platinum, and I was on Switch mode like a scrub and it was still brutal, but I won. Now I can't stop Nuzlocking, new rules, new variations, and half the time, just to see what I'll encounter and what I'll bring to the Hall of Fame. I can't go back now.

This is the kind of heart pumping action i like in nuzlocke's

Also as a side note, has anyone played with rules along the lines of giving up x number of pokemon to get a certain mon they want? I kind of bargained with myself and released three mons in exchange for letting myself have pikachu but the stipulation is all of the mons have to be of equal or higher level

I'm doin' a FireRed run at the moment too. It's my first Nuzlocke. I've only lost three Pokemon so far, but every route has had at least one MAJOR close call.

>>32992553
I'd call shenanigans cause it's supposed to be first encounter (or, first new encounter if you run the Dupes clause) but we can't exactly tell you how to play your game. Just feels against the spirit to find backhanded ways to get your favorites.

>>32992608
>>32992631
I've at most only done it for 1 mon per run just cause i feel like using it. Usually ends up dying anyway though.

Anyone else have a really hard time continuing a run if their ace dies? I find that my ace is usually the one i care for the most and if they go down then all my enthusiasm for the run just kind of dies.

>>32992728
Nah, when my Starter dies I sometimes get like that but I've had monster wipes that lead to some really unlikely heroes stepping up to the plate. Hell, Plusle is my bro for life cause he saved a run of Emerald for me singlehandedly.

Thank you, Mr. Positive.

Bambi line is cursed

>>32992751
I've had an emerald nuzlocke where I finished the E4 with nothing other than a plusle and a ninjask (I had other pokemon, I simply never needed to use them because that combo was op as shit)

>>32992772
No ninjask, but my teams were

Plusle vs Wattson

Plusle, Spinda and Swablu vs Flannery

Plusle and Altaria vs Norman

And I managed to pull it out. Plusle and Altaria made it all the way to the end

>>32992913
how I did it was basically abuse the poor AI

start with plusle, substitute, if they use a non damaging move encore, baton pass to ninjask, swords dance 3 times, swipe

turns out, this works against everyone in the E4 and the champion

>>32992961
>turns out intentionally cheesing the game works against ai

Wow, sounds like you had it hard

>>32992608
>>32992631
I ended up releasing the pikachu because i felt dirty about it. Thank you for rectifying my ways friends.

>>32993000
>using a semblance of strategy is "cheesing it"

I thought the idea of a nuzlocke was using lesser used pokemon, and encore/BP combo just happens to be one of the gimmicks few pokemon other than plusle can pull off

>>32990837
10% chance in Kala'e Bay. I've had terrible luck with natures, but pretty damn good look with captures. 5% chance Pichu on Route 1, Crabrawler on first berry tree (not the one at Berry Master house, that never spawns a Crabrawler), 5% chance Eevee on Route 4, 10% chance Dewpider in Brooklet Hill. It's been a very fun run so far. I've never lost so many mons in an entire nuzlocke as I have in this one and I only just made it to Malie City.

>>32992658
Yes, just don't fuck around. I usually lose two mons in Virbank.

>>32993067
HAHA my luck continues! After getting a motherfucking shitty Ledian on Route 11 (I would have been happy with literally ANY other encounter on that Route), I get a 10% chance Skarmory on Route 10. Not that I'm dropping anyone from my team for it.

>>32993043
>I only used two Pokemon to cheese with a single strategy rather than follow the core 'use what you're given' or 'form bonds with Pokemon'
>calling it a legitimate strategy to defend it


Yeah, sure. Just like how hacking in Rare Candies is a legitimate strategy because everyone has the option to.

Why don't you just play a regular game of Pokemon if Nuzlockes are too hard for you?

>>32992961
That's actually a pretty good strategy, wouldn't have thunk to try it against the e4. I just went in with mons I caught in the latter half of the game and clawed my way to victory.

>>32993449
Well I'm sure he felt very connected to the Plusle and Ninjask. So what if he used a good tactic? If anything, it left him little room for error cause if the AI tanks a hit or Ninjask misses and gets OHKO it means his run is over.

>>32993449
I actually had 6 pokemon, all same level (approximately) which I used throughout the entire game
I simply never anticipated that the plusle/ninjask strategy was actually a hardcounter to ALL of the E4, it didn't work against gym leaders

oh my god wheres a decent place to grind for volkner in diamond

besides gastrodon you can see my team isn't very good against electricity and gastrodon is my lowest level poke

and no i dont have anything better on pc. i have a mantyne and a golduck

>>32993857
>i thought so but a mr mime out of nowhere one hitted my gastrodon with energy ball
had that happen as well, was this weird platinum run where I only lost water types
went through 5 of them, eventually ended up with a mantine because it was the only water type around I could actually catch given species clause

>>32993950
gastrodon around lv 40 or so takes out everything he has save for his octillery

>>32993981
i have no grass or electric moves how do i take care of octillery

and thats no manner of speech i literally have no grass and electric moves on any of my pokes and no one in my team can learn any from the tms i have in hand

>>32994004
no grass knot tm left?
hm... that's a bit of a problem
have you caught something in the sunyshore water yet? what about the route beyond it?
you can get a tentacool from either, and tentacruel has more than sufficient sp-def to survive at least one charge beam and octillery does have fairly little in the way of bulk

>>32993950
I thought Mr mime ohko'd your gastrodon

>>32994061
i don't use dupes clause. i had three. two ded.

>>32994042
if you could get your hands on a tentacruel here's how I'd see the fight going
you lead with gastrodon against his raichu which can barely tickle it
after raichu goes down most likely octillery comes out to play for the SE, switch to infernape to tank the grass move, switch to tentacruel to tank the water move, use poison jab while he charge beams you (it should live, tentacruel has 120 sp-def), switch to gastrodon to tank the second charge beam, switch to infernape to tank the bullet seed, and then ko it with close combat (after taking the poison jab from tentacruel it should be in range)

after that it's easy cruising with gastrodon

Just recently completed a nuzlocke of Blue version (VC). Pic related, it's my endgame team.
If you're wondering about Ditto, my endgame wasn't the champion but defeating Mewtwo. I lost Raticate in the E4 and my first encounter in Cerulean Cave was a Ditto who, funny enough, helped me beat Mewtwo.

>>32994118
>>32994179
can't get a tentacruel unfortunately, it's retired. my route 223 encounter was mantyne

last of the gastrodons tanked octazooka and took half of octillery life with a body slam but then got the unlucky five hit bullet seed and now she ded with the rest of her family. noctowl hit the sleep and killed it and the rest was easy cruising as you said

man my gastrodons just cant keep their slimy butts alive

>>32994118
oh and be sure to give tentacruel a sitrus berry, if that charge beam doesn't boost I could actually see him living through 2 of them
that said, it's still a bit of a risky strategy (if CC fails to ko, you lose infernape and he heals up the octillery with a potion) so I'd grind up everyone involved in the shuffle to at least lv 45

>>32994212
have you tried going for a tentacruel INSIDE of sunyshore
part of the water is NOT route 223 and it DOES contain pokemon

also sucks getting the mantyke, that's a 10% encounter and you need a soddin' remoraid to evolve it (which if you want to go for it is a 35% encounter on the good rod in sunyshore, with the other being magikarps which means gyarados)

Anybody want to stream?
I miss JLT

>>32994258
i meant retired as "i cant capture one regardless" because i used a tentacool in a previous game.

good to know i can fish remoraid in sunnyshore tho, as soon as i get another pokeball i'm coming to sunnyshore since magikarps are also retired

>>32994269
ah okay nevermind, misunderstood that

and yeh you can fish in certain cities so you could use that to fill up your pokedex

and maybe there's a few other places you've missed a capture like the various lakefronts

I wanted to share what my challenge is, exactly, and ask if anyone would give me some advice or critique on it.

>Standard Nuzlocke shit. If a Pokeyman dies, he's deleted and sent to the shadow realm. You can only catch the first mon you run in to on any given route, you only catch a dupe if you want to.
>Set Mode only, use of 1 item per battle, No revives, of course. If a Pokemon dies with a held item, that item is GONE.
>At the end of a successful run, you move on to the next game, trading over or injecting all of the previous survivors and boxed mons to the new game.
>You can only use Pokemon that are appropriate level for the area you're in. When facing a Gym, you can only use Pokemon that are the same level as their lowest level Mon.
>A specific Pokemon can only go through the elite four once. You can use it to breed future generations or fight in side stuff like battle tower or whatever.

Order I'm playing in:
>FR/LG
>R/S
>Em
>Plat
>HG/SS
>Black
>B2/W2

I'm going to play through both versions of some of the games that I like, and skip straight to the third on others.

Anything else I should add?

What are some of the must-play hacks/games for nuzlocking that aren't Drayano or retardedly hard like Dark Rising.

Is there any reason to not trade evolve right away?

>>32995087
if you can, virtually no reason given trade-evolutions learn moves at the same level as their prevo's

Managed to beat Roxie with Azumarill.
Such a trooper, Return for big damage, Aqua Jet for next turn finish. Charm to lower the attack and by pass danger. Venoshock and Toxic were a hassle though.

First Emerald nuzlocke run. I'm at Mossdeep's gym, trying to grind a little bit because I've heard that's one of the hardest gyms. Where the fuck am I supposed to grind though? Isn't there a way to rematch trainers like in FireRed with the VS Seeker?

>>32995143
good shit dude
keep it up

>>32995206
emerald tate&liza are still the toughest gym leaderes in any game imo. i think you should be fine with cradily. you have access to literally all the water routes in the game which should be plenty to evolve lileep.

>>32995206
Go to Shoal Cave and grind everything to 42 for minimal losses.

>>32995222
Still gonna take a while considering Lileep's only damaging moves until he evolves are Acid, Astonish and Constrict, meaning I'll have to switch him out to level him up. Welp guess I'll have to buckle up and spend an hour or two grinding.

>>32995267
teach it bullet seed and giga drain

>>32995279
Fuck that's right I forgot to look up where the Giga Drain TM was. Yeah that makes things easier, thanks

Also, I was too busy shitting bricks to notice this earlier, but Haunter's sprite is xtra cool in Emerald.

He's extra oogidy-boogidy in that version, huh?

I'm not even going to be mad if Bambi IV dies. She's so flimsy, she only has 35 HP at 19 and can barely hit anything with Dig.

>>32994268
Depends, does anybody really want to watch someone stream? What do people like in streams?

>>32996052
I was thinking of recording myself and editing it down to the bits where I say something or something interesting happens. I just don't have a free video editor downloaded.

>>32996063
I kind of feel like streaming is more entertaining just cause it's more interactive

>>32996089
There's tradeoffs. With videos, you can edit out some grinding and let you record audio afterward in case your live commentary isn't to your liking to edit in.
But livestreams feel more real for nuzlocke challenges; you know exactly what happens and deaths can't be savestated away.

15 mins later, dead to a Magnitude 6 when it was above ground. Fuck off, you were a waste of my time. Bambi line is cursed.

>>32996089
I just like to watch, I like players that read chat. Preferably with two moniters so they can look back and forth without swapping tabs. As much as I agree with >>32996089, I usually eat my meals while I play, plus I drink really loudly (I have no control over this, it just happens even when I sip), so I'd rather be able to keep that out of people's ears. Do I think streaming is better than videos? Yes. Do I think streaming is better than videos for me? No.

>>32996146
Eh, that's what a mute switch on your mic is for. Mute when you eat/drink, unmute when you're not.

Oh, and one thing I hate is when someone is streaming and they don't read out loud what they're replying too. It's fucking obnoxious.

Bambi V is a Marill by the way, one of my top 3 favorite lines.

i'd stream if i had a mic and/or knew how.

Daily update
Twintelle absolutely destroyed Morty, I dont remember if they give you shadow claw there in the originals, but it was EZPZ

Im currently about to embark towards Cianwood

Welp, after nigh endless slaughter of my team on Akala, Ula'Ula had been a cakewalk. Lost my first mon of the island, Miles the Dugtrio (my second Diglett, damn these guys are frail) to Plumeria's Salazzle in front of the Aether House. I thought he would outspeed her, should have switch. She got a OHKO Flame Burst, and he was 3 levels over, at 38. Luckily, my great capture luck continues with a Trapinch in the desert, so she's my replacement. Time to grind and head north.

>>32996944
I thoroughly look forward to Bambi V being the MVP of the run

>>32997113
I know it's cringey as fuck, but I like making these little team pictures... So I made one for you.

The Diglett that I trained specifically for Surge did really well, but he got rekt at the very end of the gym by a stray Quick Attack crit.

I also forgot that I had to do the SS Anne before Surge, so Wartortle has spent a long while in the box while Gloom, Drowzee, and Wigglytuff went HARD AS A MUFFUGGA on everything.

Looks like I'm headed to Dark Cave.

>>32998058
Yeah, Bugsy also has like lvl 14 - 16 Pokemon I believe. With A long route, Ruins, Cave and Team Rocket between the two gyms you won't have to grind.

>>32997909
Im in my 7th run of Nova Sun, i swear to god if i ever see another cutscene imma snap

>>32998089
oh sweet, once I catch them up to about 12 then I'll just go with the flow

Current team lineup before bed
James the Zubat, level 10
Nelsha the Cyndaquil, level 13
Tracey the Mareep, level 6
Lyra the Geodude, level 12
Bristle the Pidgey, level 11
Wolf the Beedrill, level 12

>>32998100
it's the worst and the real rival is the urge to turn off the game, and I lost

>>32997993

BW2 has a bad start. Few encounters, few areas, Pokestar's obnoxious pace breaker. BW1's early game areas are just more fun to play even normally. There's more to do before Castelia and it builds up to Skyarrow Bridge naturally rather than having a back and forth across three small areas for the first 2 gyms. BW2 excels once you beat Clay and the PWT. Variety jumps up dramatically and the game diverges in a better handled way from there on out.

>>32998110
With a Cyndaquil and two flying types Bugsy won't be a problem at all. Just watch out for his Ace which can be a bit dangerous.

>>32998110
Plus the lack of fairy and ice types early
how the fuck am i supposed to beat hau who HAS A FREAKING SALAMENCE when i can't get an ice pokemon or anything that learns ice beam until tapu village

>>32998122
I don't know senpai, I got lucky and sang that shit to sleep and spammed Psybeams on it in Western Town before giving up
>>32998121
His Ace huh? I haven't played gen 2 in ages so I'm hoping it's nothign ridiculous like a Scyther or Pinsir or Heracross

>>32998129
About his ace, yeah. . .

>>32998129
It's a scyther lol, but it's not that hard

>>32998131

Geodude will be fine. Geodude kills early game Johto dead. Little threatens it at all until the water routes.

so the end result of Blazeblack 2 challenge mode's version of Roxie

All went well until golbat decided to hypnosis and follow it up with nasty plot, came god damn close to a wipe if his air slash didn't miss on hungry (who was the mvp of the battle, again, seriously buffed dustox is pretty fun)

now lets hope the castelia captures are any good because 3 water types is overkill

>>32998211
>BB2
You poor soul. Are you using healing items in battle?

>>32998213
normally one of my rules is not to do that
I broke that rule around the time cheren send out a munchlax with leftovers and a boosting move and never looked back

6 pokemon on the first 2 gyms in a nuzlocke is god damn brutal

>>32998227
Have fun with Colress and his rape rotom
Have fun with victory road 6 mon weather teams
have fun with e4 legionaries

>>32998288
hoping for a bit more luck on the pokemons, no good natures sofar and unfortunately growlithe has his HA (justified is most definitely not better than intimidate or flash fire)

Can somebody pick and name my starter for Storm Silver?

>>32998459
if you have trouble I just found out apparently there's a lv 15 victini in the liberty lighthouse which technically could be caught if you aren't adverse to using legendaries

>>32998506
Yeah I know, sadly I banned Legendaries for myself this playthrough. And I also had Grovyle and Finneon in the box, but a wipe out is a wipe out. I just didn't expect that Wild Charge, since it didn't show on the editted movepools either so Morimoto's Blitzle is just hax.

>>32998516
honestly I'm a bit torn on the victini given it's a pokemon I've literally never used before and from what I've seen from the challenge mode teams it might actually not break everything open to hard

>>32998521
It probably won't be game breaking, if anything else in challenge mode it'll probably be fairly normal.

>>32995143
I made that one, what I did was grab a fairly empty background image from google. Then I downloaded all the sprites for BW for using in the pc/grave. Simple images from google for the team and trainer. Everything else is actually made by forming rectangles and then using a tool in photoshop to stretch out one corner. Do that another time with a darker color and throw that underneith for the light blue/red over dark blue/red effect. Its all fairly simple if you mess around in photoshop if you have that. Took me about a hour to do it myself without real experience.

;Tldr : If you have photoshop mess around with rectangles/text. Use images from google/sprites for the pokemon and trainer and bg. Making mistakes is fine, you learn that way.

Also make sure the colors you use all mesh well together, don't throw a bunch of different colors together if they don't match.
