Thanks for the help SwordBro. Emerald Moon is on hiatus, due to reasons I'm too mad to go into right now.

Picked Piplup since that's the only starter out of the line-up I actually like.

I'll be busy as fuck this week, so probably no updates for a while.

>>33076483

here's team if you're wondering

Bruce Lee (Meditite, Level 31)
Olympic (Floatzel, Level 33)
Chrono (Bronzong, Level 34)
Nice N Wet (Gastrodon, Level 33)
Birch (Torterra, Level 34)

>>33076778
I already released Tynamo since she was still untouched and Klink was in the party. The bigger problem is not playing in so long has made me lose the attachment for all of these guys. Maybe playing for a bit will help me rekindle the love.

>>33076468
you have two Psychic types, go with Shinx

>>33076797
>he doesn't like turtwig
I disagree with your opinion

>>33076902
Turtwig is my second favorite gen 4 starter, but in this hack I have to choose between Snivy, Piplup and Torchic.

I hate Snivy's final evolution and Combusken/Blaziken aren't my thing.

>>33076929
what hack are you playing?

>>33076973

Team in Pewter city.

No close calls yet, and the game forces me to play it on set, which I don't usually do when playing romhacks desu.

And fuck me, does Hustle make Centhead and Nidz Jr. blind? They miss so fucking much

Floatzel just died and i'm going into the first Cyrus battle, hooray

First major update, team right after Petalburg Woods. Zigzagoon, Taillow, and Mudkip are all Careful nature. Penny is Adamant, which is a great nature for Mightyena, and Moldy is Jolly nature with Toxic Heal, which is pretty great. What level should I be at for Roxanne?

>>33077187
around 12 should be fine since you can kill Nosepass easily

And so comes to an end, my Nuzlocke. Lance has been defeated and the team has been crowned Champion of the Pokemon League.

Electivire died to a crit on the routes to Victory Road. Nidoqueen fell to a trainer. Ninetales soon after fell to a crit as well.

I never used Houndoom before, never been a fan of it. So when it came up as my encounter before VR I felt hessitant. But I knew it would come in handy so I picked it up. Donphan came in VR, and damn was I happy with that.

The elite four themselves had a few heart attacking moments, and one death. Togekiss died to Koga's Tentacruel after I forgot how fast it was because it full restored after a paralyze speed drop.

Donphan really showed Lance's last pokemon not to mess with it, having taught it stealth rock that Charizard must've been crying the moment it got send in.

P.S Never touching a Drayano hack ever again.

@keckleon. I like the re-design you did. Much easier to read now

Tragedy has become opportunity again - I was trying to get some levels on Kanzi the Fearow, who had been falling behind a bit, and took her against a Rocket's Hypno. I was a little reckless and the Hypno got a lucky crit, which spelled her death. I was a little unsure of what to do and originally swapped in a Ponyta I had caught recently before realizing that Ponyta/Rapidash are kinda shit in Gen I. So I just went to the nearest uncaught route to see what I could catch and found Doduo. Turns out that save for like one point of Special and 5 Points of HP, Dodrio is equal or superior to Fearow in every other aspect. So now I've ground up Kiku to around the same level as my others.

...but I am still short the levels of the next Gym by a good 8-10. And I have run through nearly all the available trainers thus far. so idk lol

A fucking Ralts. Awesome. I already have more faith in this run. It's female, unfortunately, so I don't get a choice of what to evolve it into. However, with a Quiet nature, Gardevoir's the better option anyway.

Gonna do some grinding and go to bed. Hope that this nice start to things helps me wake up a bit more chipper.

Hello anons, I have started my first ever Nuzlocke run on Theta Emerald EX.

I have just arrived in Dewford City and I am hopeful that I will get a good water type mon with the Old Rod since Plane has atrocious stats.

So far I have been extremely careful and fortunately there have been no fatalities, I hope I could say the same after I get the second badge.

My team is in the picture, but I also have two more friends in the Box.

>Diglett (Drilbur lv9)
>Lilymon (Petilil lv19)

Forgot to nickname Poochyena, will do once I reach Slateport City.

I will come back and share my stories once I get done with Brawly.

Almost done grinding the team to 14. I'm so hyped for this run. Delphox, Vivillon, Lucario, Gardevoir. I've already got 4 little guys that I wouldn't be opposed to bringing to the Pokémon League later on.

Minor Update: FUCK MIRROR CAVE.

RIP Paul Rudd the Butterfree and Copperfield the Inkay to that scummy Hawlucha that convienantly knew Rock Throw

First a Riolu, then a Ralts, now a Furfrou. I keep getting nice low encounter mons. I actually used a Furfrou in my very first X playthrough, and it was excellent, so I look forward to seeing what this gal can do.

To the box with my Pickup Bunnelby, I guess.

What level should I grind up to for Candice?

Can't fucking decide what to nuzlocke.
First reply decides what game I play.

>>33086445

>>33087054
Emerald or B/W

Update: After all the hell and grind that reflection cave was, Korrina was a bit of a pushover. Jenner, my penultimate addition before the gym, was able to sweep easily with reflect+Psybeam spam. My rival unfortunately killed my Tyrunt while squabbling over who gets a Mega Ring.

Current team:
Jenner the Mr. Mine (Hasty, Soundproof) lv31
Adelle the Azumarill (Quiet, Huge Power) lv30
Rock Johnson the Throh (Impish, Inner Focus) lv29
Halle Berry the Rhyhorn (Bashful, Rock Head) lv28
Enrique the Budew (Gentle, Natural Currently) lv28

I'll do a randomized white run, why not.

My rules...

Starters were determined by RNG.org

Grass - Turtwig
Fire - Charmander
Water - Mudkip

ID = 1234(5)

Final digit determines which starter I choose

1-3 = Turtwig
4-6 = Charmander
7-9 = Mudkip
0 = I choose

- When a Pokemon faints it's considered dead and must be released
- I can only catch the first Pokemon encountered in each new zone
- Can't catch starter Pokemon
- Shiny clause
- No items in battle
- Battle style on "Set"

>>33087227
Thanks. Been planning this one for a while with a couple of my friends, coming up with good names for it.

>>33087235

Not a lot of change to the image but good progress - I went for it and cleared out both Koga's Gym and finished off Silph Co. Taking a break right now but I have Sabrina in my sights - only question is how I am going to handle that level 50 Zam. I'm likely not outspeeding it, even with Dodrio, so I might just need to hope to poison or something and outlast it. Thankfully, it's physically frail, so something ridiculous like Hypno using physical attacks might work. I'm thinking of grinding to 40 and considering my options from there.

>>33076401
Man, FUCK Pokemon White.
So, I'm on my fifth attempt at nuzlocking this shit, and I'm genuinely pissed off.
First and second tries both ended at the first gym, when the leader set up and just *destroyed* me.
Third ended at Cherin, bastard crit twice in the first fight after picking starter.
Fourth try ended to the first gym *again*, but this time the fucking fire monkey destroyed all my oran berries in the process.

So, this time, I've strained, and pushed, and grinded until I was level 15 on just route 2 so I could fucking fight the goddamn first gym, and I succeeded! Even with his fucking type advantage.
Fuck yes I felt good about myself. Except the game says "Pokemon up to level 20 will now listen to you" and I was like, hold on, don't they do that anyway? Eh. Whatever. And I push on to the next gym, and I grinded until my Pokemon are level 18, and I have a full party, and I figure: it's a gym in a museum! Must be rock type! I have an advantage! Tympole and Dewott will fuck this place up!
FUCK NO.
Normal type... And they were fucking cheating.
I took down the herdier with no problem... But the level 20 rat, watchog? Had Revenge *REVENGE*. Power ~120 fighting type move. A fucking egg move. Bullshit. And Crunch, and hypnosis. My whole team, lost, to sleep and destruction.

And he's level 20. I can't even control a stronger Pokemon to beat this fucker. And if I want to use a fighting type against him? The two in this version are evidently Super rare.
Fuck Pokemon White. It's a goddamn death trap for nuzlock.

>>33088298
Sorry, not the female gym leader, the male watchog. That's the him, I was using the pronounced wrong. Christ, i:'em self censoring.

>>33088298
Yeah I had a Black Nuzlocke die like that repeatedly. It's a pretty brutal Nuzlocke for a mainline game. Hope things improve for you!

>>33088298
Crit ratio is so ass insane in gen 5 I made an additional rule so I could progress at all. If your Pokemon dies from a crit and the last Pokemon to die also died from a crit it doesn't fucking count.

>>33088904

Seems fairly normal to me. It's just Tackle is stronger in this game so everything hits harder.

I've never wiped to Lenora, or even in BW1 period.

>>33088298
git gud, seriously this is the first time I heard anyone has such a horrible problem nuzlocke-ing those games.

Double Update: Got both the 4th and 5th badge. Sacrificed Lucario to the grass gyms Gogoat to heal up, and lost Halle Berry the Rhyhorn to Heliolisk's Grass Knot, which caught me off guard (when it really shouldn't). RIP Halle, you deserved so much better.

i want to fuck the nuzlocke killer.

Hello, again... breaking my cellphone and losing my last save, then losing my job and having to get a new one and get used to it, I am back at nuzlocking... but can you guys help me with different rules? I want to make a list of them and then start playing

What's the best game for nuzlocking if your biggest issue is having to sit through tons of unskippable dialogue, sidequests, and busy work? I'm fine with Gyms, villain battles, and things like that... but shit like PokeStudios, Plaza, the Unown shit, and that kind of stuff usually burns me out on nuzlockes because I just can't stand sitting through it again.

>>33089683
You seem upset, yet according to your image you caught a female Combee. Vespiquen's an amazing Pokémon in-game; why so upset?

>>33093309
That's some struggle there. Good luck, anon. I'm seconding adding Quagsire and Girafarig to the team. For the last option, though, Sneasel might do you well.

>>33095031
for now I have:
Permadeath - if a mon faints it is boxed and dead
First catch - can only catch first pokemon per area
Name 'em all - have to give a name to every catch
Set battle - game is on SET mode
Dupes clause - can ignore a mon if it has already been caught
Shiny clause - can catch a mon at any moment if it's shiny
Finders keepers - can use any item or TM I find
Compulsive seller - once I get to a mart I have to sell everything I can't use
Big spender - once I get to a mart I have to use all the money I got
Last man standing - if my team wipes, I can use the boxed ones until I have none left (then it's game over)
Or die trying! - I can't switch active party members with the boxed ones (nor kill any mon on purpose)
Pokeballs only - I can only buy and use regular Poke balls
No items in battle - can't heal during battles
Resident evil heal mode - can only go to poké centers or use heal items if pokémon is with "Caution" or "Danger" health (orange or red)


I found this one but not sure if I will do it:
fair battles - use the same quantity of mon the next important opponent will have (i.e. Brock has only 2 so I can only have 2 in my team)

any other suggestions?

>>33095207
Defeat legendaries?

>>33095207
Heirlocke - Cannot catch any more Pokémon once you have a full team. Replacement Pokémon are given the same name as the one that just died, but with a "II," "III," etc. added on to the name

>tfw easily foreseeable and stupid death but thought nah it'll be fine
Fuck me.

Well, I have gotten past Sabrina but suffered somewhat for it - Kiku, my last possible flier save for Charizard, has fallen. I was a little too arrogant and figured she could take care of Alakazam, but ate a Psychic and couldn't take it. I was a bit at a loss for what to replace her with, but I figured I could bend the rules a bit for a Vulpix from the Casino.

I managed to get the Vulpix close to up to snuff, and my arrogance caused her to die during grinding. We hardly knew ye, Rozela.

Now I'm at a bit of a loss - I can definitely take Blaine and likely Giovanni with this team but I would hate to go into the VR or the E4 without a full compliment. Any suggestions?

>>33095507
Truly the most dangerous nuzlockes are the ones where you start off strong. Overconfidence has lead to many a loss on my part.

>>33096604
I'll second that one. I tend to be pretty cautious but the moment I get even a little complacent or arrogant, I tend to lose a mon.

I've got to watch myself in that regard. I've gotten off to a great start this time.

Whole team trained to 20, and I'm ready to work through Route 8. I'm already disappointed by it, though. So many cool Pokémon here, like Inkay, Absol, Seviper, and so on. Yet I get a horde of Wingull. Such is life, though.

Worth pointing out is that I'm not currently using my Ralts or my Venipede, but I do plan on adding them to the team later. My current level cap is only 25, but after I've beaten the next gym, it goes up to 32, meaning that I can have a Gardevoir and a Scolipede. Until then, they're none too impressive, so I'll leave them safely in the box.

Oddly, you seem to be alone in this assertion. Everyone else is commiserating the difficulties of a BW nuzlock.
I'm fairly good. Black and White are just arbitrarily bullshit

For those of you who haven't tried out Moon Emerald, I'd give it a try.

im still wondering if its counter to nuzlocke principles to dick around on route 1 with the macho brace to pick up attack and speed EVs hard for my pokes

This sort of gimmick rule set doesn't make sense to me.

You are trying to make the game more challenging, but really all it does is make your gameplay super fucking risk averse, so you are better off just overleveling rather than thinking.

Level limits? Cool, that just means more resets and more emphasis on abusing other strategies like item setups. Resets made sense before games had 6 hours of cutscenes.

Ban items? At this point we are just playing wack-a-mole with the game and we're basically more focused on NOT playing the game than how we play the game.

No exp share except for grinding? So this change does almost nothing except waste time?

These webcomic meme rules have aged poorly. It would be nice if there was another creative way to play the game.

Tough to say, the first 3 shouldn't be that difficult. Especially with those levels. The last may be able to hit hard. Cynthia has one of the best grass types, so be sure to keep Abomasnow and Staraptor alive. Garchomp shouldn't be a problem with that team though.

It's been more than 10 year since I played pokémon red and I wanted to see how well/bad it aged. Help me pick a starter.

>>33101658
Post moves, friendo.
Here's some tips:
>Aaron
Easy with Staraptor, fight his Drapion with one of your Gastrodon.
>Bertha
You'll curbstomp her.
>Flint
Shouldn't be that hard, but you're going to need to switch out a few times.
>Lucian
Really depends on what moves your Pokémon know. I suggest keeping Abomasnow out of that fight to save him for Cynthia.
>Cynthia
Spiritomb: use any of your Water mons
Roserade: go for Staraptor
Gastrodon: your Abomasnow will outspeed it
Lucario: use a Gastrodon with a strong Ground move
Milotic: probably the hardest. If you don't have any SE moves, just fight it with anything except for Abomasnow
Garchomp: time for Abomasnow

Hi, how does one go about doing a nuzlocke for Volt White (2)? As in rules or so, since its significantly harder. I'm currently shitting myself after the first gym with just Electrike and a Zubat. Will grind with Hugh I guess.

>>33101900
Go off trainer ID

>>33101935
okay
staraptor - brave birb - close combat - fly - return
gastrodon #1 - surf - body slam - ice beam - earthquake
gastrodon #2- surf - body slam - ice beam - mud bomb
lumineon - u-turn, surf, giga impact, silver wind
azumarill - aqua tail, surf, return, brick break
abomasnow - bullet seed (hey its good for grinding), wood hammer, ice punch, blizzard

didnt knew the E4 had a psychic dude (its kind of a blind run) now i'm worried as shit. no one in my team has great sp def and i have no dark/ghost moves

having to save staraptor and abomasnow for the last fight because of no items pretty much makes me face the entire E4 with a water team. worried.jpg

Knowing that retaliate exists from my many normal playthroughs in BW I knew to watch out for it, so I sacrificed the worst birb in the entire franchise to heal. Sewaddle got critted during grinding, so that happened.

I wanted a Sandile, but I can still get one later. Having a Darumaka will actually help alot in the next gym.

how

nice layout btw

I keep trying X and keep getting bored, these areas are so anti-fun.

Been reading the comments to Pitch-Black Nuzlocke, and I found this gem of a criticism:

>As much of a fan I am of cold, dark and bloody runs, I'm a little confused by this one. Your art is spectacular and getting better with each page, but I have to question why no one's called an authority on your protag yet. I find it hard to imagine someone pushing people out of windows, cutting someone with a knife and then feeding a dead Pokémon to a Gym Leader without some kind of police being called.

>Also questioning your Pokémon's morality? It was your Audino(?) that was forced to kill it's own family, where they then cooked them and ate them, right? I... don't understand why the Audino would do that. A person's attachment to their family, human or Pokémon, should be strong enough that they wouldn't willingly kill them - let alone eat them? It all seems too savage to be anywhere near realistic.

(1)

>>33102814

>Excuse me if I'm sounding rude, but I'm just confused about how this all works. You said yourself that you were looking to make a proper explanation into the Nuzlocke rule system; whilst personally I believe there's been a lot of very good explanations already, I'm taking your words to sound like you want to make this comic something good. If you do, I'd suggest that you look into the implications of your characters' actions a bit more and then involve consequences more often. I'd also suggest that you keep away from constant violence. As much as your fans seem to love it, they keep going on about how you have a 'good plot', which I don't really see. More so, I see your protagonist committing all kinds of creepy acts to the point that you wonder why he's not in a mental hospital already. I can see that being a part of his 'charm', but I think you've taken it a tad too far to the point that violence has replaced plot.

>I see a lot of potential in your Nuzlocke, but I'm not sure you've thoroughly thought through just what your characters are doing; technically, all of your protag's Pokémon are cannabals at this point, which I find unnerving and strange. I can see why people like your run so much, but I think it's a little lacklustre at the moment. Clean it up a bit and I think this could be something really great. C:

With Mantyke is it okay to catch a Remoraid for evolution purposes and then release it or am I stuck with this cute little babby?

>>33104921
I'd say that you're stuck with it. I judge it the same way I would judge evolving a Shelmet or Karrablast: must have both within the rules of the Nuzlocke before evolving.

>>33104921
why would you want something else? look at this cute bastard
i don't think its okay to capture an extra pokemon for evos yet i used the option on randomizer to cancel trade evos so you do you

Suvivability is more important than cuteness as far as I'm concerned. But I guess I could always slap eviolite on him.

Still going deathless. I was void of tragedy at this point last run too, though, so I've got to be sure not to get too cocky. My second badge has been obtained, with Clint the Lucario making very short work of the gym.

The gauntlet begins now, though. After some easy Flare Grunts, I have to face Route 11, the Reflecting Cave, my first real battle against Calem, and Korrina's super deadly gym. My plan for said gym is to bring Virginia the Kirlia back into the party, get her Gardevoir'd, and hopefully that'll be enough to alleviate any issues.

Current Level Cap: 32

what should I evolve Snorunt into, Froslass or Glalie

>>33105589
what's its nature? What's your current team?

>>33105596
team: Torterra, Altaria, Magnezone, Quagsire, Girafarig, Snorunt

nature: Naive

>>33105610
Naive is a good nature that either could use. No real Dark or Ghost weaknesses on your team. You do have more special attackers than physical already, but you've got two dedicated physical attackers still, so that shouldn't be too big of a deal.

I think either would work fine. I'm leaning towards Froslass, though.

Alright Blaine down, more or less a pushover with Vappy and Nidoking, though Russet got very close to dying.

I decided after great deliberation that Rapidash was really my only choice for replacement despite its mediocrity. I ground Ambrosia up properly and now we have a full team. Giovanni continues the trend of "what is a level curve" that Yellow appears to enjoy (perhaps they were thinking that everyone would march in with a set of three starters???), so we're going to clear out his Gym for EXP and maybe try to grind a teensy bit more. We'll see.

>>33105610
I'd go Froslass in this case. Maximize that speed a bit.
>>33105578
Surprised you're not using Kirlia. I guess Braixen takes up the psychic mantle but Gardevoir is deadly. Also shoutout to your Roselia. Roserade has been carrying me on my run, and Iris is one of my favorite all-time songs. Rooting for it to make it to the end of your run now.

>>33105657
I mean, if we want to get right down to it, I actually have 10 party members that I swap in and out based on the situation. My Kirlia, Whirlipede, Furfrou, and Vivillon are all still getting plenty of action, even if they're not on my default team.

Nope. I may switch sixlocke for heirlocke though, once I order an external HDD case for my old drive. My motherboard broke and i'm in the process of ordering new parts atm. Meanwhile, i'm stuck on my laptop without photoshop.

The concept behind 6locke would be go generate in 6 random pokemon (Or catch the first 6 only) and be stuck with them through out the one. A one

>>33106334
Thats a great concept, would you only be allowed 6 pokemon for the whole game?

>>33106347
Yup, and I think an option would be to either generate 6 from the get go (1-total number in game) or have only the first 5/6 routes as catch-able areas. So it'd be up to the players choice

I've just started a new run, emerald randomized, I randomized movesets and abilities, but not evos, types or base stats.
>Dratini(starter, rock head)
>Giga drain, barrier, guillotine, and aurora beam
Pretty good, except for the fact that the rival has Cyndaquil so giga drain and aurora beam didn't do anything and I would've been 3KO by rock slide (the strongest move he had) so I just went for OHKO-ing it
>Mawile(drought)
>Bind, whirlpool, fire spin, and bubble
Not great until she gets quick attack at level 6
>Exeggcute(drought)
>cosmic power, metronome, sand tomb, and metal claw
Better than Mawile's moves but her stats are shit
>Beldum(Inner Focus)
>pursuit, nature power, poison tail, and flamethrower
Probably the best of the group, better stats and moves which is good because it won't get any more by level up until it evolves.

Allrighty. I rolled a 181, which was Ampharos, so I downscaled to Mareep. Using "A-Edit" I imported a Mareep to my save file, and randomized the stats and what not, I ended up getting a shiny.

My Second role was 283, surskit. This one was not shiny.

I then rolled a 242; got blissey and downscaled to chansey.

I then rolled a 25; got pikachu and downscaled to pichu

And finally rolled 205 for forretress, so I down scaled to pineco.

This was a much larger pain in the ass then i anticipated for my sixlocke

>>33107118
Okay so I was accidently setting EVs up in the save editor but caught mistake. I set all randomized EVs back to zero and for good measure rerandomized my Ivs.

This of course made my mareep not shiny. Also for some reason theyre all female. Whatever. Let's see if I can nuzlocke with just these 6

where can i capture chatot?

>>33109453
According to Bulbapedo, you can catch Chatot on routes 222 and 224 during the morning or day time, or trade a Buizel for one in Eternia City

Welp, I knew I'd lose one or two mon's because of selfdestruct, but that was ridiculous. Chapó and SUCC were the only survivors, and got killed by random encounters before I could get out of there. Anyway, it was fun and I liked the added difficulty, I might try to beat a Crystal nuzlocke in the near future.

>>33109470
Though, you're SOL for Honchcrow. Only in Diamond, so no chance for him in Plat. I guess go for Chatot in one and Drifblim in the other? Or get used to walking. That's my situation in my Y Locke

Well Snorlax didn't have curse. He did however had belly drum and tackle,which absolutely wrecked Bob. I switched to Bruce but it turns out it also knew lick. It turns out that Tailow is surprisingly good and saved me from a wipe. All that is left is to put igglybuff in team and start rethinking my game plans.

Okay Finally got my Sixlocke team sorted out. I'll explain in further detail a Sixlocke below.

1: A sixlocke locks you to having 6 Pokemon total.
(a) Generate in 5 random Pokemon (or 6 if you wish to replace your starter).
(b) Capture the only the first five route's Pokemon.

I personally prefer to generate five Pokemon, and have starters randomized.

2: Set any randomizer options you wish. I keep it vanilla, but randomize starters with 2 stage evolution's, but you could also just fully randomize. I also enable full HM compatibility to prevent soft locking, and change impossible evolution's. I also added the physical/special split. You could also update to gen 6 stats within the Universal Randomizer's options too.

3: To generate your team roll a random number generator (1-[max number of Pokemon in your game]). If you land on an evolved form, downscale it to its pre-evolution. Generated Pokemon start at level 5.

4: Use Bulbapedia to figure out what moves to assign the low level Pokemon, as well as using it to set default happiness value.

I use A-Save for gen 3, I don't know what to use for other generations. For A-Save though, I figured out to change the nature you have to change select the PID box. WIthin the PID popup, you can change nature (roll 1-25; assign each nature a number) otherwise they'll all default to Hardy.

Once you get your team generated, load the .sav file and play the game. You're locked to those 6 for the whole game. (I think gen 5 requires the capture of the box legendary, so obviously that would be a clause. Just don't use again).

5: Game ends when you defeat the Elite 4.
(a) For extra challenge, consider defeating red/steven/etc. But I don't feel those are required since you're already heavily gimped.
(b) if you're a fucking madlad go for volt white/blaze black/sacred gold/ storm silver, or any other difficulty romhack.

The game also ends when you wipe, and since you have no boxed Pokemon you cannot continue.

>>33111161
this seems like waaaaay too much effort setting up the game (instead of playing the game) for me but good luck

>>33111246
It was indeed more effort than I anticipated

>>33109642
Sad Update: Team Flare is defeated, but at enormous cost. Lysander took Enrique from my team. Also Kim Kardashy died sometime too but who cares. RIP Enrique. We will finish this, for you.

Team is a bit in flux.

HaleyJOsment the Kelfki lv53
Adelle the Azumarill lv49
Rock Johnson the Through lv50
Amy Schumer the Abomasnow lv45
John Hughes the Lampent lv45
Charlie Sheen the Watchog lv40 (HM slave til I find something on the last few routes).

That Bugsy rip off was no match for Roggenrola & Darumaka. With high rolls that Whirlipede kept stopping at 1-5HP, triggering the hyper potions. Leavanny got one shot by Darumaka and Dewott one shotted Dwebble. The easiest Gym yet. However I shouldn't get cocky, Elesa is next and my god do I hate her.

Just caught Sandile & Yamask, exactly what I wanted. Will have to grind them up to reach the rest of the team at 25 though, luckily I have lots of trainers to battle still so EXP shouldn't be a problem.

Farfetch'd absolutely fucks the first gym. Playing with a level cap, it's stupidly hard to beat Viola without losing at least one Pokémon to Infestation shenanigans. The run where I got a Farfetch'd was probably the easiest no-death Viola fight I've had.

Too lazy to put in badges but I'm about to hit the fourth gym.
No deaths yet but a bunch of ass clenching moments because of Cliff, the Lucario ambush in Geosenge, and the Mega Lucario fight.

My Golduck has turned out to be an unexpected MVP by disabling the crap out of enemies left and right. Doublade is godlike as expected but I'm worried because while most of my mons have great attack natures they mostly have -def or SpDef so they're all glass cannons.

A lot has happened since my last post. I decided that it wasn't worth grinding for Giovanni and took his team on with everyone in the low forties and while I won, I suffered two hard losses, Vappy and Nido. RIP Winesap and Russet. This, of course, left me with two more big holes in my team. The easy Vaporeon sub is Tentacruel from the lucky Tentacool capture I got, but Nido is a bit of a harder sub. My only real decent option ended up being the Geodude I caught ages ago in the Rock Tunnel (I was avoiding using him as Geodude is a pretty good early mon for Crystal but... oh well). I decided to just deal with it and grind everyone to 50 so I could at least stand a chance in VR. I'll be facing my penultimate rival fight soon. Wish me luck.

>>33117697
Alright, got to the League without any trouble. I probably should go clean up the last few trainers for the EXP, use my remaining candies and grind to about 60. I'm not super worried about the Rival fight but Lance is actually not a total pushover and has real attacks so I should probably be around there if I want to even be close to safe.

Why is Yellow so shitty compared to Red/Blue?

>>33117774
Why is yellow that bad? I was thinking on downloading it myself.

>>33117789
Yellow is probably better in a lot of ways compared to the original trio since they took time to put some thought into Leader/E4 movesets instead of just giving them level up moves. But, to also compensate for the fact that they hand you all 3 starters for free, they fucked with the level curve. The last few leaders all have Pokémon who are at least 5 if not more levels above their RGB counterparts and grinding is a pain in Gen I.

It all evens out in the end since E4 levels are the same, but it makes the trip to the E4 kinda sucky. If you do what they want you to and use all 3 starters, you won't have too much trouble, but I was personally avoiding that since I'm cutting myself slack elsewhere.

>>33117774
gen01 is probably the only game where you can safely beat the E4 without any grinding. i think last time i did it i was 20 levels below gary's ace. movesets are simply not strong enough to wipe you unless you deliberately put weaknesses to be hit all the time

It's been a while, hasn't it? I've been preoccupied with a new playthrough of Moon, my last one before Ultra, as well as some Team Fortress 2, but I'm ready to hop back in to White 2: Challenge Mode edition.

I am quite saddened at the moment. I caught a Woobat in Relic Passage and was sure that she would clean Burgh's clock, but she was crit OHKOed by the Dwebble right before the last cocoon. Poor Weebee... she will be missed.
I also caught a Zubat but he got killed by a switch pursuit from a Rattata before I could even raise the little guy.
How ironic that all my dead Pokemon are flying types. They're my fallen angels, I suppose.

On a lighter note, I got really lucky in Castelia Park and caught an Eevee! It was caught in my very last ball too. I will not give him a name until he evolves, and here's how evolving him will go:
The first stone I collect will be what I evolve him into. If I do not find a stone by the time he's level 32, I will let him evolve into whatever Happiness evolution the time of day gives me. Really hoping I find a water stone or friendship evolve him at night because Vaporeon and Umbreon are super bulky boys, but any one is fine since they all have at least one pretty good defensive stat, and Jolteon can still pack a punch.
But enough talk, time to grind and prepare.

Back at it again in France-Japan. The hacker raised the shiny rate to match S/M but I'm still happy with my blue orb. I haven't used Gengar is a long time. Falkner was a pushover. There was an unavoidable double battle outside of Union Cave that was 10 times scarier. Brave Bird on fucking everything and Stop That nearly got taken out by a Farfetch'd with Karate Chop.

The hacker swapped Togepi's Extrasensory with Petal Dance. I think it's because they made Extrasensory a fairy type move and didn't want Togepi to have an 80 BP STAB move right off the bat. Still, Petal Dance? Why?

It adds more Pokemon to the grass and ups the difficulty. So far it feels like a less polished Sacred Gold but my opinion might change.

Just checking in to report that I am still alive, and deathless. Just haven't played in a couple of days. Hope that all of your Lockes are going well, /ngz/bros.
