The Nuzlocke Challenge
This is a new challenge that some of you might of heard of before, but I just wanted to make a thread for it
Main rules 1. Whenever a Pokemon is knocked out it is considered dead and must be released. 2. You may ONLY catch the first Pokemon in each new route. 3. No healing items outside of battle Optional rules 3. No switching between opponents pokemon 4. Poison down to 1hp = Faint 5. No buying pokeballs 6. Make your own rule if you want Just started mine something like this Picked Chikorita (named Orita) Found and caught Sentret (route 29 named Fodder) Found and fainted first wild Ratatta with crit! (route 46) Found and caught Weedle (route 30 named Beedle) Lost Beedle to a critting Pidgey (D: |
Seems like a really hard challenge, would do it, but im not restarting, maybe on another game or rom.
|
I think it's abused a bit... There are only so many Pokeballs you can find. Next thing you know, you have to release your starter Pokemon.
Meh, I guess people just love almost impossible challenges. |
This just now got here? Man, I love those comics.
I started it couple days ago. Not too far into it. Haven't lost anything yet, but then again, I just made it to the forest in Emerald. |
So what if you get whited out, do you just have to start over? xD Could you imagine having like 3 pokemon at decent levels, and you get whomped by someone and bam, game over? lol

EDIT: Also, it's funner if you nickname your Pokemon. You get more attached to them. |
Almost the best strategy for this would to just massivly level one pokemon lol, like pick your starter and only use it, odds are your not going to die as you will be massivly higher over everyone.

This seems an interesting and difficult challenge, heh. But I'll remind you to talk about the challenge only instead of these comics, please. =P
|
Well to get good pokemon with this all you have to do is buy a ton of repels and find entei and raikou and capture them, also kinda annoying if you fail in the Elite 4 and your done for good...

Starter - lvl 50-60 Entei - lvl 40-45 Raiku - Lvl 40-45 Ho-ho/Lugia lvl 45-50 |
You would have to have them all around 50-60 so none die and you cant lose them.
|
Seems tough. You'd have to grind majorly on weaker pokemon. and have tonnes of healing items for in battle. I might try it one day, but at the moment I'm trying to fill my diamond pokedex while I wait for heartgold to arrive in the mail. And when I get that, I'm going to be doing an eevee run (eevee's evolutions)
|
Man if i wasnt already so far in my game I would try this. Since i already got SS if i get HG I will try it.
|
So... it's like Fire Emblem with Pokemon? :D
So doing this after my first playthrough. |
Ooh challenging. This should be an interesting one!
|
Actually, the no healing items outside of battle is also an optional rule, even if it's used by most people.
It really hurts losing your starter, let me tell you that. |
Here's the original rule-image, with John Locke-style pokemon included!

Since when is 'no buying Pokeballs' a rule? :O
Also it's not really a HGSS challenge. It's an any-game challenge. ;P |
Do you have to release the Pokémon? Is it okay to just put them in some PC Box called "Dead" or something? It kinda makes me sad releasing them :P
I may try this on my HG some time... After I catch Lugia and a Snubbul on my SS :P |
Seems interesting, I think I'll try this with an emulator later, after I'm done with my actual game. Seems kind of risky, especially with battle's like whitney's and her miltank or the elite four themselves.
I expect to lose a good amount of pokemon through this, haha. |
I did once already on Diamond, also mono water. At one time I had: gastrodon, Floatzel, Bibarel and Empoleon, but i ended beating up the E4 with Empoleon only, who was horribly overleveled.
|
there's also a rule that states you can't teach TMs to your pokemon, nor can you use items outside of battle, you also are only allowed to capture the first pokemon you meet in the first new route, and you must nickname your pokemon because as stated in some reference sites "that it makes your BOND closer." :/ Really challenging if you ask me, if i get my hands on a new cart ill try to do this one.

I started my Nuzlocke Challenge two days ago and this is what has happened
-Got Cyndaquil from Elm. It is a Mild Natured male which I nicknamed 'Cyn'. -Beat Rival -Attempted to catch a pokemon on Route 46, found a Lv3 female Rattata and accidentally killed her. -Went to Route 31 and the first pokemon I saw was a female Lv3 Bellsprout. Caught her, nicknamed her "Belle" and found that she has a Gentle nature. -Entered Dark Cave and caught a Lv2 Male Zubat with a Careful nature. Named him "Dart" -Dart nearly died vs Bug Catcher Wade. I accidentally pressed the A button, causing it to say "Dart has no moves left!" It had 3 HP left and Caterpie was confused with barely any HP left and managed to knock itself out before Dart could do a suicide attack. -Went to Route 32 and looked around. I found nothing but Bellsprout but since I'm using the optional rule of only catching the first pokemon I see and haven't caught yet, I keep looking. I finally find a Lv4 female Rattata with a Calm nature. I nicknamed her "Cheska". -Entered Sprout Tower at night. Found a Lv4 female Mild natured Gastly, which I caught and named "Pan". -Cyn evolved after beating the Elder. -Beat Falkner with only Cheska since she was powerful enough on her own. -Got Egg and hatched it in Cherrygrove. Named the Serious natured Male Togepi "Benedict". Current Team: "Benedict" Lv6 Male Togepi "Pan" Lv11 Female Gastly "Belle" Lv11 Female Bellsprout "Dart" Lv11 Male Zubat "Cheska" Lv12 Female Rattata "Cyn" Lv14 Male Quilava |
Just because no one is joining,I will do this once im done with my Soul Silver Mono-Type Run and my Platinum Nuzlocke Run.

Whoa dude. :( Don't revive old threads, please. I wish the HGSS mods had caught this before I did, haha. For those of you that still wanna do it, feel free to make a new thread for it. :)
Locked. |
