    Game: Pokemon Diamond
    Optional Rules:
    • Nickname (ofc)
    • Dupes don't count as first Pokemon
    • Can only use berries to heal status/PP (Mainly because I like berry farming owo)
    • May or may not do comics, let's see if I have the time owo

    As of right now, I've defeated Roark and am in Valley Windworks. Team consists of:
    - Nuggs/Grotle/Lv 18
    - Kwynne/Shinx/Lv 15
    - Bann/Zubat/Lv 6
    - Doobedoof/Bidoof/Lv 3
    - Rocker/Geodude/Lv 6

    Didn't meet any Pokemon on a few routes so far so I only have 5 members. Next time, I'll probably have a more detailed account of what I've done. ^^; This may take a while though because I'm getting my R4 thingy tomorrow so I'll probably be distracted.

  • Starting my Nuzlocke on Omega Ruby. Rules are the same as before, with two alterations:

    I am allowed to receive ONE mystery gift Pokemon, as long as its level is less than that of my highest Pokemon, and is shiny. Any other mystery gifts received are to be placed in the PC.

    Forced Encounter Pokemon do not count for my route capture, regardless of if I can them or not. This is thanks to Snorlax from Y.

  • November 21
    • Began my adventure as Athena.
    • Chose Treecko as my starter.
    • Route 101: Caught the Tutorial Poochyena
    • Route 102: Zigzagoon (fainted)
    • Route 103: Poochy (fainted)
    • Route 104: Wurmple
    • Petalburg Woods: Shroomish
    • Evolved Wurmple into Silcoon
    • Route 116: Whismur
    • Evolved Silcoon into Beautifly
    • VS Roxanne: Easily swept her team with my Treecko

    • Dewford Town: Old Rod Magikarp
    • Route 106: nothing yet (sea)
    • Granite Cave: nothing yet (used super repel)
    • VS Brawly: Easily swept his team using Beautifly and Gust

    • Route 110: Electrike
    • Beautifly fainted against a trainer's Minun
    • Evolved Poochyena at level 18
    • Evolved Treecko at level 23
    • VS Rival Brendan: My Mighytena flinched his Combusken when using her Thunder Fang. Next turn, I paralyzed it and it couldn't attack. On the next turn, it was again too paralyzed to attack. Awesome paraflinch hax and here I was worrying about my team's weakness to fire and fighting.

    • Route 117: Marill
    • Evolved Shroomish at level 23
    • VS Wattson: My Breloom's Mach Punch easily took down Magneton. The gym matches haven't been notable so far.

    • Fiery Path: Numel
    • Electrike fainted against this wild numel
    • Route 112: Machop
    • Evolved Magikarp at level 20
    • Evolved Marill at level 18
    • Route 113: Skarmory
    • Route 114: Swablu

    November 22
    • VS Archie at Mount Chimney
    • Azumarill swept using her Play Rough and Aqua Tail. No notable struggle during this match. I have to turn off the Exp Share.
    • Jagged Pass - Spoink
    • VS Flannery: Azumarill ohko and 2ohko's everything.
    • Game Time:10:52

    • Route 111: Baltoy
    • Numel fainted against a trainer's Graveler
    • Baltoy fainted against a trainer's Manectric
    • VS Norman: I used Breloom against most of the gym and the leader's battle. I used Azumarill when I didn't feel like backtracking to heal.
    • Grovyle evolved at level 36 after Norman's battle.
    • Southern Island: Latias obtained around 3PM yay! I used a Timid Synchronize and got some incredible IVs on the first attempt, so I decided to add her to the team.
    • Game Time: 13:11

    • Route 118: Tentacool
    • Mightyena fainted against a trainer's Beautifly. I did not expect it to carry Bug Buzz. Honestly, I always remembered them as being super weak and not having Silver Wind until mid 30's in RSE. Goodnight, my sweetie. :(
    • VS Winona: I used this opportunity to train Skarmory because it's bulky and resists normal and flying attacks. Also, the rest of my team were at least 7 levels over Winona. I turned off the Exp Share now.
    • Route 120: Absol - I kid you not. it was the first triggered sneak in the area. I got up quickly from my bed to focus on getting it. It's rather difficult seeing May tiptoe while in tall grass. I was almost sweating a bit not to fugg it up. However, I just used Absol in my HGSS Vault Hunter box, and despite being one of my favorites, I should use something else...
    • Route 121: Linoone
    • Game Time: 19:25

    November 23
    • Mt Pyre: Duskull
    • Mossdeep City: Wailmer (super rod)
    • Route 124: Wailmer (super rod)
    • Route 126: Wailmer (super rod)
    • Route 127: Wailmer but fainted
    • Route 128: Luvdisc (super rod)
    • Route 129: Wailmer (super rod)
    • Route 130: Wailmer (super rod)
    • Route 131: Horsea (super rod)
    • Pacifidlog Town: Wailmer (super rod)
    • MY HOPELESS QUEST TO FISH A CARVANHA/SHARPEDO HAS FAILED ME.
    • I HAVE CONCLUDED SHARPEDO DOESNT EXIST IN THESE SEAS.

    November 24
    • Olli pointed out that I never caught anything on Route 119... Guess what I reeled in with my super rod today. :')
    • Route 119: Carvanha

    Nickname Scheme
    My trainer is named Athena based on the gladiator character from the Borderlands series. Athena is the Greek Goddess of intelligence, skill, peace, warfare, battle strategy, and wisdom. The theme of my team is mythological Greek gods and deities. All Pokemon nicknames are pulled from the wiki page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Greek_mythological_figures

    Gaia is the goddess of earth, Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty and was born from the sea, Aether is the god of the sky, Dionysus is the god of parties, and Artemis is the goddess of the hunt and the moon, as well as being a twin sister to Apollo (which would be Latios's nickname if I had one).

    However, my Treecko is named Victor.

    In my original Sapphire version, my trainer name is my middle name, Nicole. It means victory of the people. This meaning is the basis of Treecko's nickname. Also, it is the basis of my Y's Chespin's nickname. Colette (the diminutive form of Nicole).

    Furthermore in Y version, my trainer is named Scarlett because it is a French girl name for Red. Coincidentally, my Sapphire's first starter was a female Treecko that I named Scarlet because of touch of red Sceptile's body. Basically then, Nicole & Scarlet began in Sapphire, Scarlett & Colette began in Y, and Athena & Victor began in Alpha Sapphire. I wanted these games to connect with each other in some way.

    On a whim, I've decided to do a Nuzlocke for Alpha Sapphire. I'm using the basic rules, with a duplicate and shiny exeption clause, nicknaming all my Pokemon, and playing in German (I know some, but it will still make it much more difficult). The backstory I'm making up is basically that my character, being from Johto, speaks mostly English, so is about as lost as I am. This should be fun! lol
    Will update when I get my first badge! :)

  • Username: AoTora
    Game: Light Platinum
    Optional Rules: Shiny clause and dupes clause were in effect all Pokemon must be nicknamed.

    Anyways - I am done with first part of the game but I am going to do the aftergame too. With different team - I had 21 deaths so far D:

    Anyways I chose bulbasaur (used RNG for that because I got to choose starter screen before I could look at my ID - It later died as a venusaur but he was the champion in the water gym!)
    - Caught some completly random encounters and missed a lot of them aswell.
    - Obtained a lot of freebies that I couldn't nickname so there was a lot of running back and forth between nickname rater and the destination I was supposed to be at.

    My longest companion was espeon- I got him as an egg pretty early :3 Saddest death? Lucario because he died to confusion - I believe that there was one ghost pokemon that mean looked me than confused me and I could only watch lucario hitting himself to death after that because I ran out of potions on him :(

    The pokemon I cared about the least was Infernape though - She came in right before the elite 4 due to my lucario fainting and it took me about forever to grind her up and she just refused to learn any fighting moves - and the only move I could teach her was rock smash so yeah she wasn't as good as she could be :(

    Spoiler:

    Here is the first champion battle - I might post the team in details later if I have some time - I need to catch some sleep soon because it's been a long day for me :( And I gotta go build up a new team since this one is pretty much OP for the new region xD
