I have been wanting to do a nuzlocke for a long time, and this whole randomized thing sounds awesome :D

Count me in:
Username: daniehej
Game: Crystal


Settings:
Random starter
Random trainer names and pokemon, but rival keeps starter through the game
Totally random wild pokés, including legendaries
Static pokés are totally random
Tm moves and move tutors are random
Held items are random

And also remove trade evolutions, as they're just horrible.


Bring it on :D

I actually decided against the Ruby Random Madness until I finish Platinum, I feel like I will lose interest in Platinum if I shy away, So I will do that before the Madness :D.


Thanks for the support of how I layout my Challenges! I did feel the 39 updates for leaf green was abit too long but some people seemed to like it :D

Progress update:

I decided to do a Log style ...well log, but with lots of sprites and a few screenshots in between. But as I take far too many screenshots, I decided to also do a kind of pictures in a spoiler as picture documentation and also for those who like to follow just the pictures, (a picture says more than a thousand words, they say) But anyways, please give your feedback on my layout, as I would like to improve it as much as I possibly can.

So, let's get started on this awesome challenge.
I named myself Hy
Kris_OD.png
because the older games surprisingly lack the ability to name your Pokés with numbers. Also, the " which I would have used in 4"4Hy is not there even though it clearly is present in the character tileset.

The starters available are:

I chose Chansey
Spr_2c_113.gif
and named it Missingno. to sort of keep within my theme.
Spoiler:


Team:

Spr_2c_113.gif

Missingno., Chansey
Level 19
Pound, Doubleslap, Tail Whip, Softboiled (life saver lol)

Spr_2c_031.gif

PokeNido, Nidoqueen
Level 17
Tackle, Scratch, Double Kick, Tail Whip

Spr_2c_186.gif

Toad, Politoed
Level 20
Water Gun, Hypnosis, Doubleslap, Perish Song (saved me once, see screenshots)

Spr_2c_018.gif

Birdo, Pidgeot
Level 14

I lost most of my screenies, but here are some updates :D
-After the first gym, I retrieved Kyogre because of the overwhelming amount of legendaries in random Trainers. Caught a Lombre at Route 3, Caught a Vileplume at Mt. Moon.
-Caught a Kabuto at Route 4, Defeated Bridge Trainers and Gary and Cerulean Gym, wasted Suicune Encounter at Route 24, Caught a Trapinch at Rt. 25
-Caught a Bagon at Route 5, Bagon died at Rt. 24 :( (stupid Pinecos)
-Caught a Nidorina at Rt 6. Saved there.

My team so far, Leia the Trapinch, Kyojin the Kyogre, Crad the Cradily, Tropico the Tropius, Solera the Starmie (starter), and Rena the Nidorina.

I am so sorry Baygon (Bagon's nickname), I failed to make your dreams of flying come true :(

Leia shall continue your dream, and may you rest in peace :(

Brick Break, Sludge Bomb, Double Edge, Leech Seed
"I had high hopes for this guy, which he fell quite a bit short of. He was simply too fragile for a Nuzlocke. He was one of the 3 E4 fighters though, if only for his water resistance."

Maou lv 51
pkrs189.gif

Dragonbreath, Fly, Flamethrower, Headbutt
"I was thinking of maybe training up another team-member, and then BAM!: Wild lv 37 Salamence i was allowed to catch! If i had grinded the team just 3-4 levels less he would have totally saved the day in the E4"

pkrs304.gif

Earthquake, Aerial Ace, Surf, Safeguard
"Never participated in a real battle. Exp Share trained for half the game, so he would eventually be a powerhouse in the E4, but i overgrinded the rest of the team a bit, so he was never needed"

Rules:
You must nickname all your pokemon
A black out is a "game over"

Note: I could find a randomizer to randomize starters but other than that it'll be all legit (I chose Totodile if anybody was wondering :D)

After one intense session, that was sped up, I was able to make some good progress

Seems interesting, I think I'll try this.

Username: Nyeseth
Game: Soul Silver

Optional Rules:
Must Nickname all pokemon
I don't have a lot of experience drawing comics.... so I'll just post updates (That's okay right?)

Also, just a question, The togepi egg, do I count that for where it hatches? or where i first get it as a hatchable egg?

Good luck with that bro. It's okay just to post updates you can either take screenshots of progress or just write what's been going on, anything notable like a death or gym leader win should definitely be written. And for the Togepi egg, I personally just assume where it hatches as the place of the encounter, but honestly I like the randomness of the wild pokemon so much, that I just box the egg. GOOD LUCK;)

Just a quick session for today :P

Just got a chance to start it mine on Pearl. Random starters were: Abra, Gible, and Swinub. I choice Gible (Joelle) which has the Quick Feet ability. After getting some pokeballs I went to the very first route and encountered a wild Staraptor (Starr) with Technician (hell yeah!).

I am off to a good start as once Joelle gets Dragon Rage and with the pure might of Staraptor with STAB-Technician-boosted Wing Attack I'll be set for a while.
