    Well, this Nuzlocke gives me something to do while I'm riding in the car for 10 hours a day on vacation. Anywho, onto the first update.

    So after a little bit of pointless noodling around New Bark Town, Elm finally allowed me to pick my starter. That is when I introduced the world to Chris the Cyndaquil. Noodling around some more, getting shoes and eggs and battling some red-headed kid, I got some Pokeballs and the real journey began. I wandered out to Route 29 and ran into a familiar friend. I then proceeded to catch myself Pinta the Pidgey. Running ahead onto Route 30, I picked up another really cool cat, Wally the Weedle. Along this road is where Wally came into his own and after some battles, evolved into a Kakuna. Route 31 was our first place of misery as Chris accidentally killed a Bellsprout. However, he grew to level 10 off of this and learned Ember, great for Sprout Tower. I entered Violet City and met a strange man by the name of Primo who gave me a soon-to-be member of my team, a Wooper egg. Wandering into the gym, I dominated Falkner and Chris evolved into Quilava in the process. I proceeded to run onto Route 32 and battled (and unfortunately killed) a Mareep. A few battles, a heal and a Beedrill later, I made my way into Union Cave and caught myself Zack the Zubat. After running through the cave, dodging encounters with my Repel, I made it to Route 33 and caught myself Erica the Ekans. Chris and Wally, the stars of my team, battled valiantly through Slowpoke Well, but in the process, our first fatality, Wally was tragically killed by a Zubat who confused him and crit him all day long. Erica stepped up into his place and fought alongside Chris to rid the well of Team Rocket. The pair of them absolutely dominated the gym. Then we ran into the red-headed kid again, who in a stroke of fate, murdered Erica right there in front of me, my second fatality. After catching some Farfetch'd, Chris had the unfortunate task of learning Cut to cut the single, solitary required bush in the whole entire game. On Route 34, it was rather unfortunate, but Chris killed a Drowzee that just couldn't take the heat Chris was packing.

    I bought White 2 specifically for this! Especially since I was on a 3 year hiatus from Pokemon (Haven't played since HeartGold) and I haven't looked at anything BW related much, this will be a lot of fun!

    Nuzlocke - The First Day

    I started my adventure, as Cindee the Pokemon trainer. I chose Oshawott as my starter and coined him G-Dragon after the famous K-pop star. That's where everything went downhill. The first pokemon I encounter was a Patrat, whose name is now, Batrat. The next couple first Pokemon encounters WERE ALL PATRATS. I barely made it past the first gym (Work Up almost decimated my Batrat). My faithful duo travelled with me further, looking for a new non-patrat companion. I ran into a Sunkern past route 20. I caught him, but sadly his first battle ended in his death as his meager stats and my poor trainers insight led to a swift death. I ended the night with catching a Magnemite I named Sol in the Virbank Complex. Hopefully the following days will be better for my team. Sol is shaping up to be a great tank while G-Dragon's nature will help him out immensely as he levels up. Not quite sure how Batrat will fit in with my future team, but has been a loyal damage dealer since I've caught him despite his nature. Hopefully he'll grow on me, but I'm dying for a more exotic (female, perhaps?) Pokemon. Sunkist will not have died in vain! Roxie, here we come!

    Started with a f Treecko. I guess that's okay. Nicknamed her Jana, she's Rash natured so that's plus Sp. Atk. minus Sp. Def. That will be pretty good for her. I think that's it for tonight.

    Team:
    f lvl.5, Rash Natured, Moves: Pound, Leer

    • So I got up to and defeated Flannery in one sitting. Lost my Dustox during the process and was heartbroken for a few days. I'm ready to continue my adventure. I also can't work out how to get pictures off my phone.

    First time challenger! I am excited, nothing can get in my way! Except maybe a Snorlax....

    You must nickname all of your Pokemon. (highly recommended)
    A black out/white is a "game over," even if there are Pokémon left in the PC.
    You may not use/catch legendary Pokémon.

    Started out with Kipdum the Mudkip :18:
    went up and beat May like the feeble trainer she is
    got Pokeballs and went out to catch my first pokemon which was Smoochyena the Poochyena! :t261: (Route 101)
    Then on Route 103 I found a Wingull dubbed....Gullum! :t278: haha I'm terrible on the names....
    On route 104 I found a Marill which I've named Pikablue :t183:
    Pikablue died in his first battle...
    Kept running into Poochyenas for the first Pokemon encountered and even though I'm not doing the duplicates rule I don't want to raise two of them so I just KOd them
    Caught Skrillex the Whishmur inside Rusturf Tunnel
    Fought Roxanne Gulliver wiped out her first two with ease and got a crit on Nosepass but was OHKOd by a Rock Tomb.
    Kipdum took charge and avenged our fallen brother in arms
    Why are there so many casualties? It truly is a cruel and terrible world out there.
    Stay tuned Next time on Pika:Nuzlocke Challenge!

    At the Vally Windworks I saw a buizel, but accidently ran away >.<, got the keys from the Grunts and beat everyone inside, althought Todd and Rose (Bidoof and Zubat) passed away due to a Fat cat :(

    In Route 204 I caught a Kricketot and named her Kate, in Route 205 I met another Buizel, caught it and named her Benihemai - she soon died tho :( Got to eternia forrest and met up with Cheryl and started to venture in to said forrest, came across a Cascoon and Wurmple (Saw the Cascoon first so caught that one) and thats it for now.

    total deaths: 5 :(

    • This time on Pika: Nuzlocke Challenge!
    Time travel!

    Challenged May to a battle after Roxanne.
    KOd Smoochyena the Poochyena
    Kipdum evolves
    Travelled to Dewford and caught a Makuhita dubbed E. Honda :t296:
    Travelled Blindly to Steven. After so many playthroughs I know the path to not need Flash. If I battled Brawly I woulda lost the challenge already so I'll skip him for now
    Went back for Exp. Share will come in handy later when I pick up weak pokemon
    Travelled to Slateport where E. Honda was taken out by a Low Kick in the beach to a random sailor
    I rage quit and will have E. Honda taken out of my team as soon as possible
    I don't really remember where I saved but I think it was after I caught E. Honda and if it was before I just won't catch a Pokemon in the Cave where you find Steven.

    Next Time on Pika: Nuzlocke Challenge! Trouble in the Slateport city!
