MVPs:
Russet the Nidoking: I have always loved this line and felt extra validated with how much this fucker carried my team at points. His death hurt the most out of everyone except for maybe...
Winesap the Vaporeon: Vappy is basically the perfect Water type for Gen I - great stats, awesome stabs, good for TMs.
Red Prince the Tentacruel: Once I lost Vappy, Tentacruel was weirdly my saving grace. Another Pokémon that's amazing in Gen I.
Bismark the Hypno: I've always really wanted to use a Hypno but generally don't have a reason to or a good chance for it. Hypno is weird in that he's not quite as fast or specially equipped as Alakazam or others but his balanced stats make him pretty useful. I was able to beat the shit out of Gary's Zam because his Headbutt was not super sucky.

welp, time to train a goldeen into a seaking and somehow beat the elite 4 with this

>>33124399
I believe in you
gonna start a new game since it seems like I'm stuck in this one

which should I play between Fire Red Omega, Platinum, or Black/White? Keep in mind I've never played Gen 4 or Gen 5

>>33124515
share my pain and do Platinum

>>33124515
>>33124523
Can confirm from failed Plat Nuzlocke: Plat is basically a Nuzlocke hellscape.

(you should do it anyway)

>>33124537
if you pick Turtwig it goes from "prepare for armageddon" to just "regular hellscape"

still hard though, it ramps up about halfway through

he was honestly kind of a pushover without the magneton. Although his rotom did come close to fucking my mawile's shit up

>>33124573
That's what I mean, no idea why that's there or what to do with it

>>33124557
The whitespace? You can change that in the settings if you have an emulator worth its salt.

>>33124591
using DesMume so I hope so, would you know where that is in the settings or should I just scroll through?

>>33124597
Somewhere near the bottom of the tab with the most options, iirc.

Kind of getting the feeling this hack isn't meant to be nuzlocked but I'll keep going. Pretty much every trainer is untouched except Gym Leaders so you go from vanilla trainer with one mon to full team with complete coverage and endgame moves. At least Drayano hacks have relatively fair gyms. They're hard sure, but they're a lot better than "let's just put spore and megahorn on everything!". fuck bugsy fuck bugsy fuck bugsy

My one shining hope is Get Up. He had Defeatist instead of Truant as a Slakoth. Defeatist Slaking would be amazing.

for my very first adventure in Gen 4 I'll let you guys pick my starter
Chimchar, Piplup, or Turtwig
Aesthetically and typing wise I like Torterra the most of the 3 finals but choose whoever

>>33124660
Leaf turtle obviously

>>33124660
Gonna have mercy on you and tell you to get Turt.

is there a reason i still can't open the menu's to look at my pokemon and settings?

>>33124826
Are you sure start is mapped to the right button?

>>33124826
It should be mapped to the X button in Gen IV. Do note that Gen IV is the least stable gen to emulate.

>>33124840
Huh interesting
>>33124836
I have it mapped to C with the way I play but I'll set the controls again just in case

>punching out Starly's left and right
nervous about moving forward, I've never set foot in Sinnoh so it's strange here

Would a team of low level 50 pokemon (highest is 52, Janus is at 49 and Rex the Seaking just evolved, i'll grind them more) be enough to take on Platinum's E4?

>>33124991
Platinum's not too hard as long as you abuse how many stupidly strong Pokémon are readily available. Magnezone, Weavile, Mamoswine, Gyarados, Gengar. Tons of cool shit that's really easy to get a hold of. Heck, if you get lucky, you could even bump into a Scyther, throw Thief on it, and get yourself a Scizor in the first half of the game.

Throw honor out the window, and build Gen IV OU: The Team.

>>33125128
Wait I can get Trade evos in basic Platinum without any trading?

>>33125147
apparently so, either that or there's a secret to trading on emulators hidden deep within the 8th layer of the internet

>>33125147
well no, I played on cart and traded with my other versions. I use a lot of harsh rules, so I think allowing trade evos is a fair compromise.

Well that's fair enough, I'm just emulating so unless there's some easy secret I'll just have to deal

Having a surprisingly difficult time in my new Nuzlocke of Leaf Green

With the exception of Beedrill, all of my fatalaties have been at the hands of Blue's Charmander. And Ivysaur would have gone down to it too had Sleep Powder not hit. So after beating Surge, I have just one overleveled Ivysaur, and two other grass types in the box

>just hit 10000 steps
How strong is the first gym leader? I dont wanna over level

>>33126065

Goes up to 14. You're alright until his last mon, the last mon has really high attack, so keep Turtwig alive.

Turtwig is probably the safest starter for Platinum early on, but the lategame isn't kind to it at all, Ice becomes pretty common and Torterra's 4X weak to it. Infernape is good all the way through and is probably the best for Sinnoh overall, despite it's frailty. Piplup takes by far the most time to get going inversely to how Turtwig works, but Empoleon is an awesome tank minus that crippling Earthquake weakness.

>>33126083
Okay, I ended up catching a Machop to replace my Budew so I hope that comes in handy, with the Abra that's just 2 pokemon I have that will never hit final Evo
(I wonder if I open 2 of the emulator it might consider them connected)

>>33126108

As long as you grind properly, you'll probably be fine.

>>33125110
Also no. Grind more. It sucks, but you gotta do it, especially as you have something like Seaking. Then again, I always grind to Champion level, I can't stand being underlevelled for that section. I much prefer it when the level of the Champion isn't much above the Elite Four.

>>33125175
>I'm just emulating so unless there's some easy secret I'll just have to deal
there's an easy secret

it's called "check the no trade evos option on the randomizer and save the rom"

>>33125671
watched a guy being so bad at nuzlocking diamond that he ended up with just an overleveled torterra for 80% of the game

and still beat the game anyway

What's the rule for non-legendary interactables like Volcarona?

Also, damn. Been running around to any areas I missed for last minute catches before tackling Victory Road and I never realized how much of BW2 Unova is locked off until postgame. Icirrus City, Moor of Icirrus, Dragonspiral Tower, Twist Mountain, Nuvema, Accumula, Striaton, Nacrene, routes 1, 2, 3, 8, and 18. That's a good chunk of the region.

>>33126711
As long as it's your first encounter in the zone, it's usually fine. Some people prefer to skip or not count them though, like the Snorlaxes in Kanto, since they're usually stronger mons.

>>33126880
I decided to go with it. I don't think Volcarona is strong enough to trivialize the rest of the game. At least not more than something like Sandile who I could have caught there instead. Plus I'm in desperate need of a flier since I've been lugging Swanna's corpse around ever since Kyurem killed it.

>>33125671
Just wiped out to a bullshit Venonat. 6 million hurt in confusions in a row, topped off with a crit.

Fuck it, new game

>>33127219
>wiping to a venonat

that is something to be proud of, anon. i dont think anyone else can boast the same thing

>>33127277
to be fair they seem pretty bad and were only using one pokemon. things like confusion are way more deadly when you can't switch.

>>33127052
>I don't think Volcarona is strong enough to trivialize the rest of the game
i strongly disagree but whatever floats your boat

I have a problem where I have too many good Pokemon. Who do you fill out this team with? (Pokemon Y, just before 2nd gym)

I'm using:
Frogadier
Roselia
Pancham
Pidgeotto

Which 2 of these do I fill out with?
Amaura
Seviper
Electrike
Audino

They're all at similar levels.

>>33127843
use seviper and electrike

>>33127843
amaura because i freaking hate it

i hate audino (as anything but xp piñatas) as well, amaura and audino

Wiped out against Hala in my Moon Nuzlocke. That fucking Mankey caught me off guard with pursuit and killed my Misdreavous. Litten was able to handle the Mankey and Makuhita but damn that Crabrawler OHKO Litten with its Z-Move. It all went donwhill from there, think I'll continue my White 2 run for now.

Just returned to the lab after visiting Mr. Pokemon

>>33127462

I would agree. It takes effort to get a moveset that doesn't suck, and both Water and Rock moves are prevalent lategame. Volcarona is awesome, don't get me wrong, but not gamebreaking.

There's a glitch caused by the fact that you obtain the national dex at the start of the game. If you do the Ruby/sapphire sidequest and get the rainbow pass you'll be forced to to the post game sevii islands before the E4 and then fight them at terrifyingly high rematch levels

Edison (Magnezone Lv. 57)
Larry (Tropius Lv. 55, ded)
Janus (Girafarig Lv. 56, ded)

In theory, Magnezone and Weavile should be able to get you there. Good luck.

I'm just finishing theta emerald ex, and I'm kinda fed up with hoenn, so I'm probably going to nuzlocke flora sky again.
What are some other gen 3 rom hacks that add pokemon past gen 3?

Update from yesterday, didn't have time to post it here!
Summary: defeated Rival's Squirtle with Belle. Caught Douglas at lv. 3 on Route 1, Joanne at lv. 3 on Route 22 and Rick at lv. 5 on Route 2.
(the other mons were Pidgey, Ditto, Cubone and Poliwag)
In Viridian Forest, my first mon was a Rattata (dupes clause activated) and then a Caterpie, which I killed since my last 2 starters were Caterpies...

Will battle Brock now, I guess...

Question: should I put a level cap at the next gym leader's weakest or strongest pokémon? ie. Brock has a lv 10 and a lv 12, should my cap be 10 or 12?

Umbra moon is apparently "too difficult" for a nuzlocke.
I beg to differ, it's not too difficult, but just a bit too grindy. Maybe a bit much for my first nuzlocke lol.
Anyway things took a turn for a worse when I was being lazy and expected to sweep Sina's entire team with this gal. A fucking swords dance critical hit night slash didn't kill her Glaceon so I lost my best sweeper so far. rip, she killed half of Hala's team.

Gym 2, down! So I messed up a little and figured Amaura could handle Tyrunt. Whoops. But its ok, there will be better Ice types to come. For now, we press on like this. Also, RIP to Q-Bee, who died to a trainer's Axew (By the way, who's fucking bright idea was it to throw a trainer with a dragon with fucking DRAGON RAGE at level 19?)

Yeah fuck Mind Crystal. It has some neat changes but feels really unfinished. Wiped to another forced double battle in Ilex Forest. Gonna go ahead and drop it.

Ultra Violet is, from what I can tell, pretty much vanilla FR/LG but you can catch your starter and it as early access to the Sevii Islands. FR/LG is baby mode so I'm gonna try a (mostly) no items wedlocke.

If you have suggestions for husbandos or waifus hit me with them. Turns out my list is pretty small.

>>33131180
Down to only your starter. Damn. Huge grats on the win though!

hey so turns out taking on brock with a team of flying types and a fire type is a bad idea.

Butterfree took out Geodude but fell to a singe Rock Tomb. Pidgey got off a sand attack before suffering the same fate. Spearow made three. Luckily the next two Rock Tombs missed and it was out of PP. Houndour was able to take it out.

who the fuck almost wipes to vanilla brock jesus christ

So, as evidenced by my Y runs, I am terrible at this shit. I have not completed a single nuzlocke of any Pokemon game post gen IV, except Soul Silver and ORAS. But, I am determined as all hell to finally notch one off my list. So, which game (which I own/can emulate) should I make a (likely failed) attempt at this time?

Platinum
Black
Black 2
Y
Moon

Then, as I proceeded to Route 3 a Lass' Geodude tanked every hit I had and killed my other three mons.

Will restart soon...

When I go back to school and get more free time, my plan is:

1. Platinum
2. Soullocke randomized LG+E
3. Blaze Black

Anyway, I have two questions. When should I evolve Zaratustra, my Jigglypuff? I already have a moonstone. And is there a way to evolve Samba the Kadabra? Would using a save editor be considered cheating? If not, when should I do it?

>>33134327
>When should I evolve Zaratustra, my Jigglypuff?
always evolved jigglypuff and clefairy as soon as i could. their moveset ends up mostly being TMs anyway

you could have started the game on a rom edited on randomizer to remove trade evos. if you can use a save editor to evolve it, sure, go ahead

Finished up with White 2. Only two survivors at the end + five boxed shitmons.

Got through Marshal with Volcarona + Quiver Dance + Psychic. His last mon was Sawk who had Sturdy. Volcarona was wearing a rocky helmet so they went down together.
Drapion ate Shauntal and Caitlin without giving a single fuck.
Leavanny was doing good against Grimsley until Bisharp came in with Aerial Ace out of nowhere.
I went full retard and left Druddigon in against Iris's Lapras and he took an ice beam to the face. Klinklang + 2 Gear Shifts + Gear Grind took over until an EQ from Haxorus. And then Mamoswine finished up.

Was really hoping Leavanny would make it through, being the only early game survivor, but overall this went better than expected. Drapion and Volcarona were the MVPs. There's no way I could have won without Volcarona's suicide run against Marshal.

So I've been wanting to think up another challenge run after my failed Platinum Nuzlocke. I made up a run I called SixMonScratch you guys might have seen me play, but I feel like it is too grindy.

I came up with one called Flawlocke. The standard Nuzlocke rules apply:
>If a Pokemon faints, it is considered dead. Box it or release it
>You can only catch the first Pokemon you encounter in each area/route
>Nickname each Pokemon caught

Now, with the Flawlocke there is one more additional rule:
>You much catch the next Pokemon that has a type advantage over the newest Pokemon you obtained.

Example: Let's say you are playing Fire Red and you pick Squirtle. The next Pokemon you can catch are Electric types or Grass types. So you have to skip Route 1, Route 22, and Route 2 encounters. Hopefully, you can get a Pikachu in Viridian Forest, if not the nearest Pokemon is Paras in Mt. Moon. If you caught the Pikachu, the next Pokemon you can only catch are Ground types, which Geodude is the next one available in Mt. Moon. Failure to encounter/catch Geodude results in having to get the next Ground type available (which I think is Diglett)

You can go back to previous routes for encounters, but be careful you didn't trigger any encounters before hand.

I think this run forces you to think ahead, and makes each run unique due to Starter choices and Dual-Typing Pokemon weaknesses.

Also, you can't catch a Pokemon that obtains a type later in its evolution. If you caught Pikachu, you can't catch Nidoran hoping for a Nidoking. Nidoran is pure Poison.

Tell me what you think /vp/. I'm gonna start a run on this later

>>33133884
Ok, I'll go off your suggestion and give Y yet another go. I was so close on my first try, I think I can get it.

I went Chespin first, Froakie second, so I guess I'll go Fennekin this time

I fucking hate Nuzlockes sometimes.

Scolipede can take a Confusion from this Exeggutor, and respond with a Bug Bite to kill. Then it has fucking Psyshock. X and Y are stupid with their movepools sometimes.

Sableye with 6 double team, will o wisp and recover. Nothing on my team can kill it quickly (or at all, why does evasion fucking exist) so I'm just spamming super potions until his only attack is out of pp.

How bad is touhoumon for a nuzlocke?
Never played one and I want a pokemon game I know nothing of, be it something like that, Quartz or whatever happens in a 'new' region.
Played most of the games at the romhack pastebin sadly. So I need new juice.

I finally found a good replacement for Mango. It's a shame he got useless that soon, I had high expectations. Now, should I evolve Lola (Growlithe) right away or does it learn anything useful?
Oh, and would it be considered as cheating if I get the free Eevee at Celadon City?

>>33138626
Yeah, it's gonna be tricky. Hopefully I can encounter that Geodude and not a Zubat

>>33138514
This run could go really bad.

>Guaranteed no catch til at least after Brock

I guess you can take the Magikarp?

>>33138681
if you don't consider it cheating you could pay 500 for a magikarp and hope to encounter Paras

I would gamble on Geodude first, then go back for Magikarp. Worst case is you end up with just Magikarp but you lose the opportunity for Geodude if you beeline the fish.

The gym was a breeze. The trainer was easily dealt with from a Metal Claw crit on his Geodude and his Sandshrew kept spamming Defense Curl then died to a burn.

Brock was pretty easy due to Kaki evolving. 2HKO his Geodude with Metal Claw and ate up Rock Tombs from Onix. Onix's attack stat really is sad.

>>33139009
That's what I was thinking. I could do Magikarp->Paras but Oddish would be the better choice

Ayy, I just updated my comic.

So Y has graced me with both a Mild Scatterbug and a Lonely Caterpie. Butterfree or Vivillion?

>>33139194
Butterfree, they're hella rad. I used one in a fire red nuzlocke, he took down Lance pretty handily.

Encountered Zubat, so I picked up Magikarp.
Now I'm out of Mt. Moon and heading towards Cerulean City.

Route 1 and Viridian Forest are off the table since I encountered Pokemon and couldn't catch them. I still have Routes 22, 2, and 3.

What level should I be for Roxanne? My team rn is Torchic, Poochyena, Wingull, Dustox, Shroomish all around level 8-10

>>33140316
which game, R/S, E or OR/AS?
12 is more than enough to defeat her in most games but since you got shitty chicken as your starter you might need a few more levels

>>33140334
Emerald

my plan is to make shitbird evolve just before Roxanne, but idk about the rest

>>33140362
even evolved shitchicken can have problems with nosepass if you're unlucky so definitely evolve it

Vivillon. You can use Butterfree in almost any other game, whereas Vivillon is only in XY.

So a lot has happened.
Routes 24, 25, 5, and 6 encounters didn't yield a grass type for Magikarp. Bad luck on my part, I went on to defeat Surge. By this time, I now had a Gyarados.

Route 10 had a chance of getting Voltorb, but encountered Ekans. Rock Tunnel I encountered Zubat AGAIN, so no Geodude/Onix.

Skip Route 8 and go to Celedon. For my Celedon encounter I decided to choose a Game Corner mon instead of Eevee. I WAS going to get Abra, but then I would have needed to catch Venonat or Gastly. Gastly isn't bad, but that would have meant I would need to catch a Ground or Psychic type (Which couldn't get Diglett because of Dugtrio ignored my Repel in Diglett's Cave).

So I got Scyther, then immediately remembered I could have picked up a Hitmonlee after Gastly. But whatever.

Defeat Erika, go to Route 22 for a chance at a Flying type, no luck. Then Route 2, no luck. Route 3 is when I picked up Spearow, went to Saffron and got Hitmonlee, went to Fuschia and got the Soul Badge.

I wanted to nab a Pidgey toget an Electric type at the Power Plant, but Routes 15, 14, 13, 12 had Oddish. Decide to get a Drowzee instead, but encountered Ekans. THEN I remembered I skipped Route 8 and finally got Pidgey.

Oh yeah, Hitmonlee died in Koga's Gym BUT Scyther motherfuckin' evolved. Now I'm on my way to Saffron.

I'm seeing the problem with your Locke as I expected it to have when I first read it. You really don't get a lot of encounters when doing it. For FireRed, one of the easiest games to Locke, that seems fine. But I'd imagine that in, say, Emerald, or Platinum, that it'd very quickly lead to running out of Pokémon completely.

Has your run given you any ideas for improvements you could make to the system?

>>33146255
it could be more "viable" if it applied to the pokemon + any of its forms/evolutions

like take platinum for example. you could pick chimchar and get starly or bidoof, with turtwig you could get starly or kricketot and with empoleon you could get shinx or budew, all of which are very early on

>>33146278

Yeah, what I've noticed is that encounters are solely dependent on chance. My entire run could have changed drastically if I could have encountered an Oddish after Mt. Moon but didn't. I wasted 5 routes trying to get a Flying Type, and 4 routes trying to get Grass.

I then noticed in Cinnabar that I've relied on Gift/Static Mons for most of the run. It kind of defeats the purpose of Rule #2.

I want to say that if I planned ahead more then it could have turned out smoother, but some Pokemon just have a higher encounter rate than others. And that's not a bad thing, but it does add up in the long run.

Also, you can't ever have any Normal or Dragon type Pokemon due to the Nature of the locke, which lowers the amount of mons.

I know I had bad luck on this run, and I may try this again. But it could definitely be approved upon, I just don't have any ideas


I also want to add that I didn't get a third Party Member until Celedon, so Gyarados and Charizard were pretty much overleveled throughout.

Also I won. rip Magneton and Charizard

Jude has finally evolved, Alejandro finally has Thunderbolt, and my Route 14 encounter was completely wasted by a goddamn Shelmet. Next on the list is to work my way through the swamp, get to Lavierre, grind to level 40, then take on the gym.

For instance, I know the levels of the Gym leaders and that's it. I also know there is no penalty for giving Nidz a moonstone earlier. So I'm a cheesy fuck and evolved him. And he lost Hustle, which pleases me. He missed so fucking much.

Well you seem to agree on dropping Lucario. Such a shame, I was so hyped about that Riolu encounter on Route 22. Oh well, I'm sure I'll fuck something up later and bring him back.

Borrowing elements from both of you, I think I like the dynamic of Manectric and Garchomp, so I'll drop Krookodile as well. I'll keep Gyarados and Staraptor for that dual Intimidate, and Roserade for being a beastly glass cannon. Now I've just got to decide between Delphox and Gardevoir for the final slot.

>>33151812
Gardevoir is superior. If nothing else than for the Dragon/Dark destroying utility that Fairy type provides.

4. No items allowed to be used or held on by Pokémon in battle, healing outside of battle is fine (means no eviolite or potions)
5. If a Pokeball breaks your encounter for that route is nullified
6. No TMs
7. Fire/Grass Starters can only go up to second stage, Water Starters can only stay in there base evolution
8. If you get an evolution stone than the mon that can evolve must evolve immediately
9. You can only grab a Pokémon out of the PC only if a Pokémon has died or you have beaten a Gym Leader if the latter you can only deposit the highest level mon on your team

tested it out with emerald, rule 7 only applies to pre-DPPt games. I don't hate water types but Wartortle,Cronocaw and Marshtomp are really good mons in the games and this is supposed to be difficult. Water type starter lines can be evolved to there second form past gen 3.

forgot "release the best pokemon on your team every now and then for stupid and arbitrary reasons"

>>33161869
10. You must lose in the Pokémon League. Beating the champion is an automatic loss of the challenge.

>>33161869
11. You must act like a braindead monkey whenever in a battle. Using actual strategy and skill results in an automatic loss.

>>33161980
>>33162037
>>33162065
all of this

You must try a ineffective attack at least once per battle. Trust your heart! Trust your pokemon! Your electric attack will hurt a ground pokemon! Your poison attack will destroy that steel!

>>33161869
every pokemon that learns quick attack is required to keep quick attack till the end

>>33161980
That's why I have Rule 9

got back into YetAnotherFireRedHack
current team:
Torchic - Starter - Adamant
Furret - Route 1 - Bashful
Nidorino - Route 22 - Timid
Staravia - Route 2 - Hardy
Pikachu - Viridian Forest - Docile
already beat Brock even though I always forget in this hack he's a fighting type gym
was gonna post updates as I went but I tend to flood with how often I update just how the grinding is going

>>33162571
Does that hack use the split? if so, an Adamant Torchic and Timid Nidorino are really good.

>>33162582
Yeah it uses the split, that makes it exciting
I also run for Special Nidoking every time anyway so this is right up my alley, glad they didn't move Nidoran pokes elsewhere

Played a lot more than I originally planned to today. Finished training up for Valerie, beat Valerie, beat Team Flare at the Pokéball Factory, cleared out the Frost Caverns, beat Olympia, and all the while changing my team up drastically. No new deaths, but despite this, not a single Pokémon on my main team is one that was part of the main team last time I updated. I'm getting crazy lucky with encounters this time around. I can definitely see how so many people can find X and Y to be the hardest games to Locke, and so many others can find it piss easy. The sheer number of options per route really does put you at the game's mercy.

Current plan is to train my team up to 50, then begin the final series of fights against Team Flare. I'm still a bit mad at myself, looking at this nice, clean layout with that one black mark in the "dead" category. So close to a perfect run right now.

Current Level Cap: 59, though I have a long ways to go until that goes up.

First trial bested but the Yungoose brothers are dead, despite that it wasn't too difficult.
Zubat was the Verdant Cavern encounter.

Integrity question

In my last session when going to save progress I accidentally loaded the state and lost about 3 hours of playing/grinding. In that time I had lost 3 really good pokemon and released them. I got mad and shut the game off for the night. The next night I tried again boxed the dead pokemon before they died preemptively and in the process of getting back to where I was 3 different pokemon died (though in different places) instead of the original 3 that died prior.
So I ask this should I just get back to where I left off before release the 3 pokemon that originally died and pretend I wasn't retarded for not saving? Or should I go with the current being counted and release the ones that died in the more recent redo counting the lost pokemon here as pentence for the 3 I would have lost? Or do I scrap all 6 of them and probably the whole nuzlocke and hang myself?

I don't know who i'm going to replace my Electrode with, I think i'm going to go with Snorlax or Gastly, what do you guys think?
>>33166305
nice naming scheme. seems like the level cap would be intereseting for my second nuzlocke, thanks for the inspiration.

>>33167048
I would say do the first or last option

>>33167048
First one if you're gonna press on at all. The replacement mons don't deserve that fate. Otherwise hit the restart. Save issues always feel scummy, even if it's an accident

Bumping with if I go into Grant with Braixen, Luvdisc and Tyrunt (all 25 same as his ace), how boned am I? I am scared shitless and have no more catches. My other options are bugs and Heliolisk (and an Eevee I can only evolve into Flareon or Jolteon) so no help there.

>Not training in a area where you have a type advantage and 10 levels on the average pokemon
You only take risks in training at the beginning otherwise you lose pokemon. I've lost many a good starter cause of that shit.

i had level/type advantage most of the cases. explosion and hi jump kick still hurts like hell. and the fucking wild medichams never let me run or miss the damned kick

Arrived at Cerulean City. Lynderly didn't survive through Mt. Moon since I got distracted and switch him in onto a Slowpoke's Confusion.

Will now go through Nugget Bridge to try and catch my route 24 and 25 encounters.

Then will grind everybody to lv. 18 and somebody to lv. 21 to face Misty.

it has been really fun succeeding and also surprisingly devastating when any of our pokemon die. We're currently about to fight Giovanni at Sylph Co and Gary killed my Steelix, Gangsta. I never tried nuzlocke before because I thought it's be too hard but it's actually pretty fun.

I'm playing pokemon silver, and for some reason the game shut off by itself. It shut off when i interacted with another trainer, but I had only been playing for like 5 minutes when it happened, and have had no trainer encounters or pokémon encounters in that time. Would you just load the last save and continue on as usual?

Just beat Flannery - in the space between Wattson and her, around half my team hit the level limit, so I had to take her on with Bibarel, Snorlax, and Minun. Bulldoze and Surf from Snorlax made short work of her team. Here's hoping Norman doesn't wreck me since I'm not at his level and don't have any fighting moves outside of Rock Smash...

Minor update. Team trained up, Lysandre Café cleared out, and on my way to Geosenge for the Team Flare Finale.

Traded out Gary's Sea Incense with a Wide Lens. Brings Aqua Tail's accuracy up to 99%, and Ice Fang's up to 100%. I think those alone make that even better than Sea Incense and Waterfall over Aqua Tail, not that I have Waterfall yet anyway.

Level cap still 59. Lysandre is a dick. I hope I can got this. Should I use Gyarados Dragon Dance shenanigans for his final form?

>>33179849
well that was easy. Guess it's time to prepare for the Friendship Bridge of Death.

Badge 2 get! After the near-wipe that was the Furfrou trainers, I am back. Luvdisc was... ah.. underwhelming? But she got the job done against Grant's Amaura. She died to Tyrunt, however, and the Tyrunt v Tyrunt showdown was on. Spammed Charm to make it easy, and a rouge critical dropped Tiny to 2 hp. Thankfully recovered, and onto the next challenge.

At Slateport City for plot stuff. Winona was a bit interesting, particularly her Altaria, but my team was able to power through. Bergmite was added to my team at Mt. Pyre, and hasn't really done much. Here's hoping everything works out.
