[Sora247_2009]

I may start this, but I have one question. Do we HAVE to catch the first pokemon on each route, or can we skip some?

You can "accidently" kill them I guess

[Jeshk]

This sounds like a great idea. A more realistic and difficult Pokémon challenge? Of course I'll have a go.

[mondays suck]

Just a day or two after the inglorious end of my Ultimate Stantler Solo Nuzlocke, I'm already ready to try something new. In Nuzlocke mode, of course.
I was going to do a hack called Pokemon Crystal World, but I'm more in a 3rd gen. mood now, therefore I'm going to play Pokemon Mystical version instead, a Ruby hack. I haven't even seen anything of this up to now, so this is going to be a totally blind run.
Let's see how this turns out.

Wait, rules.
>Faint=Death
>Only first Pokemon in new area
>Set mode

Yes, just the two basic rules and set mode. Anything else would be suicide. In Brown I already knew half of the game, here I don't know anything.


Edit: argh, I already had finished my first update, but the database error screwed me over. So, tomorrow instead.

[chaos11011]

More Nuzlocke OMFG

As Being my 3rd Nuzlocke Challenge (all going it the sam time) I may be a little slow to post. Right now I just defeated Wattson

Lvl 13 Electrike

[mondays suck]

Here's yesterday evening's update. I had to find all the screenshots on photobucket again because stupid MS Word saved the pictures, not the [img ] stuff...

Spoiler:

(for some reason I lost the screenshot of the title screen. It shows a Deoxyis. I had almost forgotten about that thing's existence.

Spanish! I'm going to die.

Options are still the same though.

Wait, isn't this a ruby hack?
But, at least I did actually understand this sentence.

So Larvitar takes this spot in this game....

I had to look this up in a dictionary. And I don't even know whether this is plural (which I hope) or not. Yeah, I suck at spanish.

I don't start in a bedroom, I start in a cave. Pretty unexpected. And my sprite looks gaaaay, all light blue and pink

But, I don't even have Pokemon yet... Or is this thing going to be my starter...?

Oh, so it was a dream.

It's still there, and it's even still called Potion.

Necross? This includes "necro", so I'm thinking even more that I'm going to die soon in this run now...

For some reason, I cannot enter this house.



No one there. Looks like I have to walk into some high grass first.

And I already don't know where to go...

This was the north, so I guess the east it is.

Yes, that's a Pikachu down there. Dammit, I don't want that as my starter, it's way too frail...

Wait, where did just that Larvitar come from? But, I'm ok with this.

Suddenly, a cave. Without an exit.
No wild Pokemon here, by the way.

Again, there were two ways to go. This was the west, and as you can see, it's blocked.

To the east, there's Deoxys. It flees. Already more annoying that all that Suicune stuff in Crystal.

There are still no stairs, and that triangle at the point where Oak was, also disappeared. But, now I can fight these rockets.

4th generation Pokemon. Again, unexpected.
By the way, these Rocket's (there were 3 of them) didn't have anything else than this. Only level 2 and 3 Shinxes, Kricketunes and a Drifloon.

This guy looks like some kind of boss, especially because the name sounds like it.

But, this was actually not much of a deal

Two ways to go, once again.
Which one will I choose? Next time.



The team at this point. Except that's not a team yet. And no, I didn't have a chance to nickname Larvitar yet. I don't even have the Pokedex yet ... at least I think so, because I don't understand much of the dialogue.

Well, the last Database error took quite a while (even after I went away for 30 minutes, it was still there...), so I almost forgot the stuff I did already.

Spoiler:

I missed it last time, but this time here it is: the title screen.

And I get out of the cave, just to get to a place that looks almost exactly like the one where the entrance was...except that it's a bit further north.

Next Town. Riolu? What?

I go back to Pueblo Necross, and have to find out Oak's lab is still empty. Damn.

The only way back was through grass, because the southern cave entrance had disappered. So, no Bidoof for me :(

There's no market in Pueblo Riolu, but this person apparenty serves as one instead.

This guy is a douche, he doesn't let me pass for some reason.

In the middle of Pueblo Riulo, there's this empty cave.

Looked through anything I already was again, and no Oak. So I guess I have to go to this route here.

May. Pretty easy, but when that thing evolves, it will be hell. Especially when Larvitar becomes a Tyranitar.

So, I enter that one cave again, and suddenly the entrance I just walked into is blocked. Also, the rockets are back, but don't fight.

Are you kidding me?
The same weak trainer again? Someone screwed the programming up I guess...

But, later, I finally found out where to continue: This old man gives out the Pokedex.

Next: That route south of Pueblo Riolu. If I'm guessing right, I will be able to buy Pokeballs now, and that scientist who blocked my way will have gone away.

Team didn't change much, except that Larvitar is now level 11. And still doesn't have a nickname...

[Sammyskitty]

This has peeked my interest so I'm gonna try this....

I think I'll make this my first challenge on the Pokemon games. I'm going to use Emerald with the normal rules. My life is pretty busy at the moment, but I'll try to update weekly at the least.

Day 1:

Spoiler:

Character Name: Emilie

- Took potion from the PC.
- Met Brendan before I could steal the item in his room.
- Chose Torchic against my better judgment. Roxanne is going to be annoying.
- Was impatient and accidentally missed nicknaming Torchic. This rule might be hard to get used to.
- Route 101: Encountered Poochyena without Pokeballs. No chance for pokemon from this route.
- Route 103: Ran into a Poochyena without Pokeballs again. Torchic grew to level 6.
- Battled Brendan. Torchic grew to level 7.
- Route 102: Caught a Wurmple (Roy).
- Route 104: Caught a Wingull and forgot to nickname it.
- Petalburg Woods: Finally was able to catch a Poochyena (Cody).
- Cody died on Route 104 due to a critical hit from a wild Wingull. T-T
- Had my first battle with a Team Aqua grunt. Thankfully, he wasn't too much trouble.
- Arrived in Rustboro, healed, and saved.

Team:

Torchic => Lv 11
Roy (Wurmple) => Lv 8
Wingull => Lv 9

Back-ups:

None yet...

Dead:

Cody (Poochyena) => Lv 7

[mondays suck]

I was being busy with other stuff the last few days, but today I finally continued:

Spoiler:

I got the Pokedex, but still no Pokeballs here...

So, I searched everywhere, and after hell of a time, I ran across Gary...
who almost killed me. I sadly didn't screenshot any details.

At least he gave me some Pokeballs.

New Route!

Grrreat

I'm using this Name Generator, and Spanish names only

Did I mention it also has Pickup? Yeah, it's pretty much a Bug type Zigzagoon.

Grindan....

Again, a May battle. And she already has 3 Pokemon.

And I forgot to heal...

...dammit.

But, even with only Tackle, Buizel fell quickly to the Wrath of Prudencio the Krickzagoon.

Chimchar was a bit more annoying, but Bite+Sandstorm brought it down.

I hate you.

Grasswhistle. That thing should go die in a fire.

And Prudencio kept sleeping.

GRAAAAH

...

...crap.

Ummm, let's pretend that never happened...

So, let's just...

Spoiler:

..let's just assume that Lunes died,

but one year later...

...his brother mondays (I decided to go with my standard name this time) became a trainer to avenge his death...

...and for some reason had an extremely similar start in his trainer carreer.

Ok, plot aside. I beat May, got a Pokedex and beat Gary (who has a Starly and a Piplup).

Dammit, not THAT Pokemon...

so, what might I call you...

That's for what your species did. Be loyal and I might change that name into something acceptable.
(Yeah, I'm so mature, throwing around insults as nicknames for Pokemon I dislike for some reason)

And then I grinded, and I grinded a lot.

Prepare to die...

Did I mention that Cherubi did for some reason learn Fury Swipes at some point?

Screw type disadvantages, I have Leech Seed.

The bastard went down surprsingly easy this time. Only got one Tackle off.




The team. See how Larvitar got an awful nature and is still doing great.

Finally, new places.

Spoiler:

Weird house guarded by tons of Police. A have a feeling that the evil team will take this over at some point.

And here's the new city. With a 0 in its name.

A gym. But what the hell is that guy in front of it? The dive sprite?

But, there's more in this town.

Yet another cave with nothing but talking people in it. And a market. I bought some more Pokeballs there.

In the south, there's a cave, and in the east, there's a route.

Hell yes.

Meh... Well, at least I will be able to spam Magnitude soon.


Next: Going further to the east. Or maybe I'll talk to that weird dive guy in front of the gym.

[mondays suck]

Massive update (including the first gym battle) ahead.

Spoiler:

The first thing I did today was grinding my newest friends, Celino the Ralts and Elisa the Geodude to a decent level.

Talked to that Wailmer guy. Apparently he's there to tell people that the gym leader is not there.

Decided to explore the cave further before doing anything else. aAnd suddenly, May.

But, this time she doesn't want to murder me, and asks for help instead.

...the hell? First May killed me, and then she is afraid of a Poochyena...?

Someone in the cave gave me a Miracle Seed. Puta doesn't know any grass-type moves yet, but why not?

The cave has two exits. This was the first one.

Suddenly, some guy jumps out of nowhere and tells me stuff I don't understand.

Also, after returning into the cave, there were more Rockets.

I thought this would turn out into an epic battle, but the Rocket Executive wasn't that strong.

Well, he did have that Bronzor that almost killed Larvitar, but apart from that, Larvitar and later Elisa killed everything with ease.

And then, I was alone.

And then, the gym was open.

But, I decided to look what's behind the second cave exit. And, it turned out there isn't much.

Also, there's not much to do on Route 304.

So, I decided to go to ... Petalburg Gym (haha) instead

Surprisingly, the guy who replaced Norman didn't sent me and some other guy away to go catch a Ralts but he challenged me.

Luckily, I was leading with the right Pokemon.

Magnitude

Magnitude

MAGNITUDE

MAGNITUDE

MAGNITUDE

MAGNI- Oh wait.
Yeah, overall this battle wasn't too hard. The Hippopotas growled Elisa's attack stat down quite a lot (and would have been bulky enough without doing that), but nothing Jose had could really hurt her, so I won after using Magnitude MANY times.

...Surf? Already?

Also, instead of a TM, I got some pretty damn weird item. And that's an understatement.


Team at this point




See how the alpha male is Ralts.

More Update. Tragedy strikes.

Spoiler:

Better not. I don't want to fight a level 30-ish Swellow (or what was in that room again?) now.

I'm heading north on Route 304. This guy gave me a Bullet Seed TM, but Puta can't learn it.

And I arrive at a new city.

Suddenly, I don't pay attention for a second and run into Gary.

Of course, I'm leading with the wrong Pokemon.

Starly died easy, but this thing was a major pain.

Like, for example when it almost killed Puta.

But, in the end it went down.

This thing went down surprisingly easily, I love Double Team.

The last Pokemon is a Gible.

Dragon Rage? At level 14? What is this I don't even...

Die in a fire, murderer.

More update, more tragedy.

Spoiler:

RIP, Celino Lv.4-17. You brought down most of Gary's team and then died a completely unexpected and unfair death. You shall be avenged.

Continued exploring the current city. Found a pink Pikachu in a house.

I thought drugged people see pink elephants, not pink Pikachus...

Also, I get a Cut HM. I teach it to Puta.

Looks like a trade. But I don't have any of these, so no trade for me.

Also, somewhere around is a route. Which is blocked at this point.

Water type? Great, my Grass type doesn't know a Grass-type attack and my other two Pokemon are 4x weak to Water.

But, since the gym trainers were pretty weak, I decide to take on the leader.

This thing was annoying, but didn't do any major damage.

But suddenly, Puta was dead. I underestimated the danger of having a lowered defense stat, but I also didn't dare to switch and risk a water attack. And, I was thinking Puta could take that one more hit and then finish off Croconaw, but everything went wrong.

There's no way I can outspeed this thing, and there's also no way not to get OHKOd. But, I have still a chance to win...

Leech Seed.

Victory. But, at what cost?

There was no way to win this without a loss, but I could still have saved Puta by switching in the right moment and sacrificing Elisa. But, I failed.
RIP, Puta (Lv.8-18) and Elisa (Lv.6-19)

Note:

Spoiler:

If I don't update in a while it's not going to mean anything. The problem is just that I have to evolve Larvitar into Tyranitar before I can do anything.
Why, you ask? Because Tyranitar can learn Cut.
This is going to take a while, especially when considering the highest-leveled wild Pokemon I can battle are at level 9.
Forget it, with less than 100 Exp per battle and something like 100k or 200k Exp needed to even be able to learn Cut, this would take way too long. This run is over, I guess. Gonna try something easier the next time before I get back to stuff like this.

[miakemi]

Here's an update of my progress:

Day 2:

Spoiler:

- Route 116: I was unable to catch Abra. That’s the worse pokemon to be my first encounter.
- Rusturf Tunnel: I caught a Whismur (Jet) at level 8.
- Beat Roxanne.
- Received PokeNav and headed to Dewford.
- Granite Cave: Caught a Makuhita (Bob) at level 10.

Time to stop my negative series of 3 failed runs, but I also don't feel like playing a regular game... Emerald 386 is my choice, and this time I'm for once not going to die. No screenshots, just regular progress updates and stuff. Because I don't feel like thinking of funny (or not) comments.

Rules: Basic Nuzlocke rules+Set mode.

Ok, first Update. In Boring log mode because I'm lazy.

Spoiler:

Started. Chose Treecko because I never used one before. Named (or, let the random name generator generate a name) him Fran. Did usual early stuff and failed not to meet a Pokemon on the route north of Oldale.
Caught a Zigzagoon named Sevda on Route 102. Grinded and killed everyone.
I also caught a Surskit named Askr on the next route, I think I'm going to box him, just in case...

Current Team (in very short form because all have their standard movesets anyways):
Fran Lv. 10
Sevda Lv. 11
Askr Lv. 6

More Update

Spoiler:

In Petalburg Woods, I caught a Caterpie named Uzziel. Grinded Uzziel to level 10 before doing anything and then breezed through the woods and northern part rest of Route 104.
In Rustboro, I let Fran (all alone since everyone else would have had a type disadvantage) take on the gym. Successfully.

Oh yeah, I decided to screenshot badges.

Suddenly, spoiler splitting. Haven't had this problem for weeks. Dammit.

Spoiler:

Current Team:
m Fran @/ - Lv.17 - Pursuit, Leer, Absorb, Quick Attack - Brave, Overgrow - Route 301
f Sevda @/ - Lv.13 - Tackle, Sand Attack, Tail Whip, Headbutt - Calm, Pickup - Route 302
m Uzziel @/ - Lv.12 - Tackle, String Shot, Harden, Confusion - Gentle, Compuoundeyes - Petalburg Woods

Box:
m Askr Lv.6 - Route 304

Dead (Box "Hell"):
None yet, thankfully

No catches: Route 303

Spoiler:

After doing the easy Rusturf Tunnel quest (on the way there I caught a Skitty and an Igglybuff, both of them are enjoying the box currently), there was this one May battle. She had a Lotad, that Sevda killed with ease, but then there was Torchic. And it critted with Ember on Sevda, leaving her with 3 HP. And both of my other Pokemon at that point were weak to Fire. So, I had to let Sevda use Headbutt, die so that Torchic was in Quick Attack KO range for Fran. This seems like too early for a sacrifice death, so I probably undergrinded.
Anyways, I then arrived at Dewford, and caught 4 Pokemon at various places:
3 Magikarps (I was hoping they put in something else for the Old Rod, otherwise I would have only fished one) and a Sableye (I used one of Sevda's Repels for this). I chose the highest Magikarp for my team and then proceeded to rape Brawley's gym with Malene the Sableye. Piece of cake since nothing could even hit her.

Spoiler:

Arrived at Slateport and caught a Meowth named Hristofor. Grinded Hristofor and Hazael up to a decent level. It was a pain.
Then, after beign Team Aqua, I had to fight these two Pokefans north of Slateport. The first one went down easily, but the second one... not.
Due to hax reasons, I had the following situation: Uzziel was out against either Plusle or Minun (I can't tell them apart), in Spark KO range and paralyzed. Everyone else but Hazael whom I didn't even send out was at extremely low health and paralyzed. I decide not to switch and hope for Quick Attack or Growl. It didn't happen. Already the second time one of my Pokemon had to sacrifice itself to make Fran able to safe anyone else's life with a Quick Attack. I don't like this tendency...
Currently grinding the rest of my team + Askr the Surskit to level 25. Why 25? Some awesome moves are learned there, like Dragon Rage or Bubblebeam.

Another Update:

Day 4

Spoiler:

- Had an annoying battle with Wally. It reinforced my hatred of the move Double Team.
- Having not played through Emerald before, I have a right to say Scott looks really suspicious.
- Cody II (level 15) met a similar fate of Cody (Both Poochyenas) thanks to a crit., this time to a wild level 12 Poochyena.
- Looked at the gym and realized quite a few of my pokemon are at a type disadvantage. Wonderful.
- Route 117: Caught another Poochyena (Codi) at level 13. Hopefully this one will survive more than a few levels.
- Ai evolved into Gyarados. No more leeching with Exp. Share! ^-^
- Gave Jellyman (Tentacool) to the daycare.

Yay! I wasn't interested in these kinds of challenges until reading the comic strip. But now I'm really excited!

I'm ChrisTom, this is the first challenge I'm participating in and I'm picking Sapphire. My starter will be Treecko(not because it was in the comic, but because it's the only one I haven't used for Hoenn). I'll keep you posted!

With all regards,

New update.

Spoiler:

Grinded the team to level 25. Went northwards. Found...Altering Cave? I thought it only existed in FRLG... Well, I caught a Totodile named Eibhear there. Then, proceeded to beat May. Hazael beat her on his own, but only barely. Fought Wally (he had a level 28 Kirlia, Malene killed it anyways) and then cleared the route on the east and cycling road. At some point, I was pretty damn close to a loss. Enemy had a Magnemite. 4 Pokemon were paralyzed and at low healh. Hazael was not paralyzed but in KO range for Magnemite anyways. Askr was out, and it did somehow manage to beat both the Magnemite and the follwing Loudred without dying.

Next: All that stuff in the West and North of Mauville. Wattson can wait, I'm not eager to fight him early.

Current Team:
m Fran @/ - Lv.26 - Pursuit, Screech, Absorb, Quick Attack - Brave, Overgrow - Route 101
m Hazael @KingsRock - Lv.26 - Splash, Tackle, Bite, Dragon Rage - Bashful, Intimidate - Route 106
f Malene @SilkScarf - Lv.28 - Scratch, Fake Out, Night Shade, Astonish - Hasty, Keen Eye - Granite Cave
m Hristofor @/ - Lv.26 - Scratch, Growl, Bite, Pay Day - Bold, Pickup - Route 110
m Askr Lv.27 @/ - Bubble, Quick Attack, Gust, Bubblebeam - Careful, Intimidate - Route 104

Looking at it, only Sableye can actually fight Wattson. Groyvle and Meowth can't touch Magnemite/ton (not even with Screech, I tried it), and while Gyara, Masquerain and Croconaw can deal some nice damage to these things, they're all weak to Electric, so I can't use them. Looks like it will soon be massive grinding time again, especially since some of the normal trainers are already giving me problems.
Well, I might consider getting a Flamethrower Jigglypuff, but that's not going to be easy... It would definetely be helpful though.
