    One thing I also noticed with your Nuzlockes in XY so far (both being Wedlockes you did on X) was your Kalos/Kanto starter combinations. The first one (the PokeCenter restrictions one that was terminated) had you pick Chespin and Squirtle (who were both paired together) while the second one (itemless) had you use Froakie and also pick Charmander (even though you didn't use that) so maybe the next XY Nuzlocke could see you picking Fennekin and Bulbasaur?

    It was also a shame you failed to catch that Gothorita, because it could have been something good (especially after Maleficent's performance in Black) but at least Pakistan has evolved now and caught up with the team. Now to await the moment it finally becomes a Klinklang and shows its true strength.

    Also, after looking up previous encounters it appears Australia really is your last remaining member of your original six. I wasn't sure if Iraq or Algeria was your sixth Pokemon obtained but looking at it, it was definitely Iraq considering Algeria got sent to the PC immediately after he was caught. This is now your sixth documented Nuzlocke (and the first to not be a Wedlocke) where your last remaining original six member is the starter.

    *sees Black 2 update*

    Oh dear poor Jamaica aka the transgender Azumarill has left us... I'm so pissed he was wiped by Hoopster Nicolas, the very same trainer who killed Foxtrot in Marriland's Black 2 Wedlocke. It's like that trainer with his Magmar + Magby combination just loves murdering innocent Pokemon, so I'd not be surprised if someone else doing a Black 2 Nuzlocke right now also lost something to his fiery demons. But man, crippling Australia with sunlight to weaken his attacks was just awful.

    At least you're using the Grumpig now, and if I recall Australia is now the last survivor from your original six, making it again another time where the last original six survivor is your starter.

    Ah yes. Pure gaming nostalgia from me. I was only around 10 when the very first game came out.

    Ratchet and Clank theme? Woohoo! I remember playing the 2nd through 4th games on my PS2 way back, and I even played a little bit of the demo of the PS4 game at GameStop not all too long ago.

    Nice. And it appears you did go after that Cubchoo in the Hidden Grotto after all. Polar bears may not be from Antarctica but it's still a fitting name for an Ice-type.

    So, speaking of Wonder Trade, I was in Marriland's Wonder Trade Wednesday stream today, and I managed to score one of his Buizel, named Pretzel. I tweeted a picture of me getting it (it's in Marriland's RTs on his main account, not the @ProfWaffles one), and I posted it in The Southern Island club on the Marriland forums. Feels pretty cool to have a Pokémon from Devin himself!

    Ah, my notifications haven't been proper so I only just saw your former message. Yeah, I am quite proud of getting that Heracross, although it does have some downsides - most notably the fact that it has some weaknesses that don't bode well with the rest of my team (Fire for Singapore and Pakistan, Psychic for Slovakia, and Flying for Singapore, and Fairy for Egypt if this was Generation VI)...that and how long it takes to level up. And yes, I will be counting the Giant Chasm as two areas like I did Reversal Mountain. I have since played through Part 37 and arrived in Opelucid City, which I hope to have up tomorrow. And as for Australia having all Water-type attacks, well...he initially had Megahorn, but I dropped that for Aqua Tail because I got frustrated when he kept missing, and Aqua Jet and Water Pulse were mainly there for extra PP. I could always use a Heart Scale to teach him something better, though.

    Once i'm done with Drayden, that'll be a huge relief. There are a handful of reasons I was dreading the long stretch before him, one being because of how big the gap between the level minimum and his team is, and that's not good if something dies. And the fact that there are actually some tough fights along the way. So after that, the worst should be over...at least until Victory Road and the Pokémon League, though. I still haven't beaten the Doctor in Reversal Mountain, and I plan to use his services before I battle Drayden.

    And yes, I am aware that Hi4H's team is so limited, and as someone pointed out in the thread, most Pokémon traded over WT tend to be Adamant, Modest, Jolly or Timid, and that's not a good thing. (Although I did laugh pretty hard with the part where his Axew and Marill fought.) We'll have to see what he pulls out.

    I looked at HeyIsForHorses' X WonderPersonalocke and I feel concerned about Grant because not only is three of his current team (Litleo, Dustox, Vivillon) all weak to Rock, but his Axew will also be demolished in one shot by a Refrigerate Take Down from Amaura. Please pray to god he gets a Fighting or Steel-type since they seem the only safe types to use against that Gym.

    Congrats on getting that Heracross. Roselia would have been awesome as well but you already have some Grass-types in the PC plus he'd make a great addition to the team should you lose another Pokemon. Neutral nature on said Heracross was nice as well.

    Anyways, good luck with the Giant Chasm encounters (I presume you might count the cave separate from the other areas again), Egypt's eventual evolution, Pakistan catching up to the rest of the team and also the Opelucid Gym. I am kinda concerned with Australia's moves all being Water-type so hopefully you'll get better stuff for him soon.

    I hope you get around to posting more progression on Black 2 soon.

    Whoa, I only just saw that VM now, for some reason it didn't pop up on the main page but only when I went to the dashboard. But I do has a new avvy now, as you may see. A profile pic, i'll look for one later.

    And as for my Black 2... The most i'll say is I have Part 36 (Lacunosa Town, and getting my Route 12 encounter) played out (I played it last Thursday, which was the same day I posted Part 35), but still haven't gotten around to writing it out yet. Haven't touched the game since.

    It feels odd seeing you with no proper avatar, and your profile pic got wiped as well so maybe it might be time for some new ones.

    So sad to see Denmark go... he couldn't replicate the legacy of Grus. Roost definitely let you down here, but at least you're using that Klink now which is awesome. The downside is you have no Fly user though, so I presume you may borrow Palau if you need to Fly around?
