The Nuzlocke Challenge Thread [R/S/E]
~The Nuzlocke Challenge Thread~ Hello and welcome to the Nuzlocke Challenge Thread. Here you can post about your Nuzlocke adventures and experience another new and exciting way to play your Pokemon games. The Nuzlocke Challenge can have many different rule sets to make the challenge harder or easier on oneself, but the main idea of the Nuzlocke challenge is that if your Pokemon faints, they are "dead" and you must release them or just box them away and not use them for the rest of the challenge. Really, you're goal should be to make things as hard as you honestly think you can handle and see how it goes. This thread's main ruleset will be based on my own modified rules but you can change them in any way you'd like in the spirit of the challenge. ~Rules
~Challengers Post saying which game you're doing the challenge on if you'd like to be on this list. ~FireRed ~LeafGreen Cephix ~RubyFinalMaster Doctor Who ~EmeraldRaveSage
~Sig Add-ons -N/A- |
Talked with someone and I've decided to change this to a general Nuzlocke thread. If anyone's interested in the challenge feel free to post. :)
Also, I'll be adding more areas to the OP talking about ways to share your Nuzlocking adventures. |
Oh cool, you made this for all of them. I'll be able to start this sooner. As in, probably tomorrow.

Hey, just a question. Do I have to post pictures or a video? Because I'd rather just write about what happened.
Anyway, I'm entering for Pokemon Ruby, because that cartridge o' mine's been gathering dust lately. |
Yeah, you can just write about it here, in a blog, w/e. I've seen people on Smogon make really long posts making a "story" out of their Nuzlocking stuff.
|
Mmmkay. I'm already up to Rustboro City, and I have already restarted once and in this file lost a Wurmple named JiggIt. Just caught a Zigzagoon on the way to Rusturf Tunnel, even though I haven't beaten Roxxane yet. Going to grind 'till itls safe to face her with my retardedly rock-weak team. Don't blame me if several 'mon die.
Current Team: Ninjaido (Torchic) GigaGullet (Taillow) Rippo (Zigzagoon) |
A quick question, can we soft reset?
I mean, if I want a better Pokemon on a said route/cave/town, I'd reset. |

FinalMaster, if you want to be on the list, I at least need to know which game your using. |
I'm gonna try this out. I'll be using Ruby. I might not update a lot but I'll do my best to do so.
EDIT: Here's a copy-paste from the text file I'm keeping track of this challenge with: Quote:
I'll try to update again as soon as I complete more of the game. |
Cartridge already mentioned in my first post. 0=

Just because I'm curious, minchan, which language will you be using?

Hey, are you allowed to use Fire Red or Leaf Green in this challenge? I didn't find a specific thread for those games. If so I would like to do the challenge on leaf green.
EDIT: I've started the challenge, but if I'm not allowed to do it on Leaf Green for this topic I will do it for myself since it sounds like fun. |
Taking the run on Sapphire, okay?
|
I'm taking Emerald. First update coming soon.

Adding in new challengers and here's a few updates from me as well. ~ Check out my Playlist to catch up on my Nuzlocke run of Moemon Emerald! Episode 20: TIME WARP Due to technical difficulties and me not learning my lesson, you get to miss out on some mostly unexciting trainer battles and skip on to Meteor Falls. One pokemon caught off screen during the broken recording and we finally advance the plot some. Onward to Mt. Chimney! Episode 21: Aaxie and Mrchie You'll understand the title (maybe) as you watch the segment. We head up to Mt.Chimney and beat the snot out of some pirates and occult members. Then we get some DELICIOUS cookies. Soon we'll get to the next town and fight Flannery The Flamer. Team Pre and Post Episodes 20-21 Spoiler:
Those who have died http://veekun.com/dex/media/overworld/right/293.png AKA - MS Rival's Torchic http://veekun.com/dex/media/overworld/right/276.png AKA - Tailow or Super Tailow Brawly's Makuhita |
nice! just when i was getting bored of monotypes, there suddenly is this awesome concept! :D
i'll start on ruby! x) so far i've: threw a die and picked torchic (this is the first time i ever use torchic so it'll be interesting) anyways, I started with a Mudkip this time (so hopefully that'll help :\) and upon reaching route 102 the first Pokémon I ran into was Ralts!!! (which made me jolt and hit my head on the roof from my bunk), I caught it, and two Zigzagoons after that I ran into a Surskit!!! (… I don't know about you guys, but this is only second time I ever run into one this early, and it's freaking cool!)… so I caught it, and as of now it is sitting in a box in my PC which I named PURGATRY (purgatory… ¬¬)… and I was wondering if it was cool if I used it? :] I'll leave it in PURGATRY until I hear from you, just keep in mind that it isn't a nice place to be in!… it's not bad, but it's not good either :| :P QUESTIONS: 1.) May I use Surskit as an exception even though I caught it in the same route after Ralts? |
To greyfish: Q2: Personnely I wouldn't because it is the same route but that my opinion
Also I have started a Nuzlocke on Fire Red. I am at cerulean I think but I might still be In mt.moon. My team is around 15-17 And I have a Watotle named avenger \, a Pidgey named slicer, a Geodude named Roller, and a Mankey(forgot Nickname) Ihaveonly had one death which was arattata named cruncher who died from a crit. I also have 2 backups. Weedle and Spearow |
Brawly killed my team... Can I start on Fire Red?

No, different areas of the same route are still the same route. This extends even to the desert area of Route 111, diffrent floors in caves, all that jazz. Will edit in new challengers after I'm off work. Also, I found a Super Hard set of Nuzlocke rules made by Dracoyoshi8 of Smogon. I'll quote it in the OP later as well. Once I finish with Moemon Emerald I'll be doing Draco's Nuzlocke (I call it Dracolocke.) in some other pokemon hack. Most likely one that's been competed here on PC so any suggestions for which one I should use would be good (other than Quartz!). :) Also, is anyone interested in making add-ons? We could really use some. |

I just beat Steven on Ruby, so I'll migrate some Pokemon over to HeartGold and restart !
QUESTION : Can I catch some legenddaries then box them and never use them ? I want to migrate Groudon and Regis to my HeartGold. So can I ?? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ UPDATE 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -Hi Prof. Bitchrch ! -I am a boy ! -My name is ... ummm, yeah, I kinda forgot ... -Yes ! It's DINELUS ! Who was so stupid to name me like this ! -I'll get a Pokemon ? COOL ! -Wait, why am I draining away ? -NOOOOOOO !!! -Oh ... a truck ? -It stopped ! -Where am I ? Hell ? -Oh, hi mum ! Are we dead ? -NO ! Go to your room and set the clock ! -*sets clock, sees dad on TV, met May, saves the b***h from a Poochyena* Spoiler:
-Woah ! This Torchic was quite good ! -It's mine ? Yes, a nickname ... -Hmmm .... Spoiler:
-No Pokemon on Rt. 101 ?? I must be lucky ! -Odd town ! *heals, moves on* -On ... -And on ... -Encounters Wingull ! *no POKEBALLS !!* -Fuuu........ -Whoa ! May ! Spoiler:
-Phew !! -Gets PokeBalls and PokeDex ! -It seems I can run only with these shoes ... ? -Catches *DRUMROLL* .... On route 101 Spoiler:
-Catches (see above) on Route 104. -Nickes BOIJDERIH (I stopped RNGing). -Boxed BOIJDERIH. _End of Update 1. Party : :t255: OLEKARULA Lv. 6 ; Scratch, Growl -> Littleroot Town :t265: BIJEFKRAB Lv. 3 ; Tackle, String Shot -> Rt. 101 Boxed : :t265: BOIJDERIH Lv. 3 ; Tackle, String Shot -> Rt. 102 Dead : NONE Failed to catch Pokemon : Rt. 103 Normal text and bottom pictures updates from now on. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ UPDATE 2 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Well, quite a lot happened in a little time ... I grinded Bijefkrab (f***ing nickname) and ... Spoiler:
I battled trainers, grinded, Wallyed ... Spoiler:
No certain losses. But... On my Rt. 104 and Petalburg Woods Encounters I got ... Spoiler:
And Spoiler:
And killed them for XP. >.< Stocked up on PokeBalls ... Spoiler:
I once got into trouble with a wild Wurmple (I am a bug magnet) which poisoned me with Poison Sting. I was in Petalburg Woods with Bijefkrab poisoned and no Antidotes. Then, he used Shed Skin and saved himself ... THAT WAS CLOSE !! xD Now I saved in Petalburg. Next update coming soon ! Team : :t255:OLEKARULA Lv. 8 ; Scratch, Growl, Focus Energy -> Littleroot Town :t266:BIJEFKRAB Lv. 7 : Tackle, String Shot, Poison Sting, Harden -> Rt. 101 Boxed : :t265: BOIJDERIH Lv. 3 : Tackle, String Shot -> Rt. 102 Dead : NONE Failed to catch Pokemon : Rt. 103, Rt. 104, Petalburg Woods. ++++++++++++++++++++++++ UPDATE 3 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Doom happens. For pictures, see lower part ! Also have DSi change to contain text. Okay. So things were OK. No particular horrors, criticals, misses. The worst thing was when the youngster on the beach lowered Bijefkrab to 5 HP with Bide and Olekarula to 1 HP with his Taillow. I managed to heal, but ... BIJEFKRAB DIED !!! Against the rich boy's Zigzagoon. Critical Tackle with Tail Whip was enough to get him down. Okay, I had Boijderih as backup and grinded. Still haven't done Petalburg. Team : :t255:OLEKARULA Lv. 10 ; Scratch, Growl, Focus Energy, Ember -> Littleroot Town :t266:BOIJDERIH Lv. 7 : Tackle, String Shot, Poison Sting, Harden -> Rt. 101 Boxed : -None- I'm in trouble down here ... DEAD : (boxed away in Box 14) : :t266:BIJEFKRAB Lv. 7 : Tackle, String Shot, Poison Sting, Harden -> Rt. 101 <- Zigzagoon +++++++++ BIG UPDATE +++++++++ No photos this time ! :( Okay, so I rese, fell and rose again ... I've done Petalburg Woods and beat anything in my way. BOIJDERIH even evolved into Beautifly and learned Absorb for PWNing Roxanne. I found a Nincada I killed on Rt. 116 and, thus, missed my chance. I got a Whismur in Rusturf Tunnel and deposited it. I named it HATE U because it almot killed OLEKARULA with a critical Uproar. I was confident that, befor attempting Roxanne, I should grind carefully to make Olekarula evolve into Combusken and Boijderih to learn Absorb. And so I did. And I challenged the gym ... BOSS BATTLE vs. ROXANNE - Rock type Gym Leader ! Spoiler:
Out of desperation, I took the backup Whismur and it died in the 1st battle !;_;. And so, I kept going to beat Team Magma in Rusturf Tunnel, then headed for Dewford. I caught a Magikarp with an Old Rod in Dewford itself, and accidentaly forgot to nickname it. It lulls around in my box for now ! On Rt. 106 I caaught a Tentacool which poisoned my Olekarula. NO big DMG, I was close to the PC anyways. Decided to use it, nicknamed PSN DUDE. (she's a girl, I'll rename her PSN LASS !). In Granite Cave, I caught the diseaseous, annoying, and always-present ... ZUBAT ! Also forgot to give a nickname (lol, I should be more patient) and grew PSN DUDE from Lv. 8 to ... Lv.9. Grinding to be continued, then to attemtp Brawly ! ------------------------------------------------------------------- """"""""" TEAM """"""""" :t256: OLEKARULA Lv.17; f; @Quick Claw; Ember, Double Kick, Cut, Peck, Littleroot Town :t072: PSN DUDE Lv. 8; f; Poison Sting, Supersonic; Rt. 116 """"""""" BACKUP """"""""" aka Backup Box : :t129: MAGIKARP Lv. 8; f; Splash; Dewford Town :t041: ZUBAT; Lv.7; f; Leech Life, Supersonic; Granite Cave """""" DEAD """""" aka RIP Box :t266:BIJEFKRAB Lv. 7 : Tackle, String Shot, Poison Sting, Harden -> Rt. 101 <- Zigzagoon :t293: HATE U Lv.5 : Uproar, Pound; Granite Cave; Whismur :t267: BOIJDERIH Lv. 13; f; Gust, Absorb, Poison Sting, String Shot; Rt. 102; Geodude.
