JANP ENTERS THE CEMETERY Janp takes a chance, picks up one of the free baskets and enters the cemetery. His basket already has a Red Berry inside. That's a good start. New rule has been added, check your character on the map. He also notices 3 more berries lying on the ground. Decide how many and which one will you pick and move to the next location: https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/a/a6/Bag_Lum_Berry_Sprite.png Green berries manipulate your movesets https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/a/a6/Bag_Lum_Berry_Sprite.png Green berries manipulate your movesets https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/8/86/Bag_Oran_Berry_Sprite.png Blue berries manipulate your gameplay SUMMER ENTERS THE CEMETERY Even though it's way past summer, Summer enters the hunt.

Well, he starts with one Blue Berry in his basket. New rule has been added, check your character on the map. He find himself in a section with just 2 graves. There is a note right in front of them that simply says: "No digging!" Reading this, Cubism decides that the best course of action is to dig. He digs up the chest containing lots of berries: https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/5/56/Bag_Chople_Berry_Sprite.png Red berries manipulate your team https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/5/56/Bag_Chople_Berry_Sprite.png Red berries manipulate your team https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/5/56/Bag_Chople_Berry_Sprite.png Red berries manipulate your team https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/5/56/Bag_Chople_Berry_Sprite.png Red berries manipulate your team https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/5/56/Bag_Chople_Berry_Sprite.png Red berries manipulate your team https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/5/56/Bag_Chople_Berry_Sprite.png Red berries manipulate your team https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/8/86/Bag_Oran_Berry_Sprite.png Blue berries manipulate your gameplay https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/8/86/Bag_Oran_Berry_Sprite.png Blue berries manipulate your gameplay https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/8/86/Bag_Oran_Berry_Sprite.png Blue berries manipulate your gameplay https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/8/86/Bag_Oran_Berry_Sprite.png Blue berries manipulate your gameplay https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/8/86/Bag_Oran_Berry_Sprite.png Blue berries manipulate your gameplay |

Well let's start this event with a short update.
Fire Red's start is really uneventful and not full of interesting Pokémon. I decided to have fun with character names this time and so this story will include the main character Spookz and his Rival Santa. Which lead to some great dialogues like this: https://i.imgur.com/ToUfCOg.png So after few minutes of deciding I picked Cyanide, the modest Bulbasaur as my starter, beat Santa, leveled up, beat Santa again and beat Brock without any problems which lead to Cyanide evolving. And that's pretty much it. I couldn't even catch Mankey because of the rule, so my team is just And that's it for this part. The statue doesn't lie: https://i.imgur.com/3t7TpBk.png So to continue I'll take a Blue Berry and will update the map soon.

JANP IS CURSED AGAIN Janp quickly picks a Blue Berry, but it slips out of his hand. He picks it again, but it slips again. He spends one whole eternity picking it up, before successfully getting it to the basket. New rule has been added, check your character on the map. He finds only few urns in the next section.

Halloween Trick-or-Treating Event - Pokémon Ultra Sun Part I - The Overconfident Trainer Rules Starter-lock hex Your Starter can no longer be used. The first rule wasn't very bad - it just means I can't use my starter Pokémon. But I grew tired of the Alola starters anyway, so that's a blessing. So, I chose Rowlet as my starter, already knowing I'd box him later, and spend a good amount of time using it until I was able to catch my first Pokémon: A Grubbin named Wylma. Choosing Rowlet actually had a meaning, which was for the Hau battle that was about to unfold in Iki Town. Popplio is probably the only Alolan starter that doesn't have any super-effective moves against Bug-types in that battle, and that's good because I'm only gonna use Grubbin until I can get a new Pokémon in Hau'oli. The battle was very straightforward (maybe not that much, but Hau didn't pose as a threat), and after many more tutorials, I arrived at last at the Trainer's School, where I caught a fresh new member for the team: Jade the Meowth. This Meowth had Technician, which combined with Bite is great for this stage of the game. Emily was no match for it! Back in Hau'oli again, now in the main city, I was able to encounter a good chunk of interesting Pokémon. I chose to catch a Furfrou because I've never used one before. Exciting! I tried to get an Abra too, but the thing teleported away as I was fearing; I'm not gonna spend my time on that. Ilima's battle was also pretty easy, Meowth and Furfrow teamed up great together! - And also Fur Coat is a really good ability. In Route 2, I caught a Makuhita, which I've also rarely used before, and named him Ben (a reference I hope someone will understand). So with that army of a team, I think I'm set for the trial to come. Fought some Yungoos and Team Skull grunts along the way, and it was time to face Totem Gumshoos. I got the TM for Brick Break inside Verdant Cavern and taught that to Makuhita. Two attacks were enough to take down Gumshoos, but Ben survived with only 1 HP! Anyway, the totem was defeated and a new Z-Crystal was acquired! Next I'm moving to room 11 along with Cube, and I think I'll pick that blue berry...

Rules: Spoiler:
The first rule meant I had to pick turtwig as my starter, which is good since I planned to use it anyway. Along the way I also picked up Psyduck and Ponyta and trained them up a bit. After that I proceeded to defeat Roark easily with Drum's Water Gun. Team: Spoiler:
What a nice selection of berries! It's hard to choose one :confused:. I think I'll go with one blue and one red so I'll have a nice collection of one of each :) With that I'll proceed to Room 9 if possible (if not then I'll settle with Room 5, it's hard to tell what my choices are) |

He ignores a ghost of a rancher in the same section and starts picking up berries from the urns.

I'm picking the first red berry for now and moving to #17 |
Halloween Trick or Treat 2019 Platinum Rules: BIRDS!!! So the first rule wasn't hard at all since I could just grab a Starly which is a plus in the game I suppose. Of course I wouldn't choose Starly in a normal gameplay, but it is fine. Team: https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/diamond-pearl/normal/turtwig.png Nick: Yertle Level: 16 Moveset: - Tackle - Withdraw - Absorb - Razor Leaf https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/diamond-pearl/normal/starly-f.png Nick: N/A Level: 9 Moveset: - Tackle - Growl - Quick Attack - Wing Attack So....berries to choose from...I would like 1 blue and 1 green. Then to pull the lever behind the grave. And moving to a new area I would say 14 if possible. (Also I will say if this post messes up it is me trying things out so...let's hope that doesn't happen.) |
Halloween Trick-or-Treating in Platinum - Gyms 2/8
Rules: Spoiler:
No-slot Hex doesn't affect me much since I rarely use a full team of six. Fridge Horror however, while having no effect on Ponyta nad Psyduck, hit my Turtwig pretty hard. Luckily it learns a Fire type move (Sunny Day (hopefully it counts)), however it's much later in the game. For now I taught it Return and soon it will get Bite, which should be useful in the next gym so it's not so bad. With that I proceeded as normal through the game. Before tackling the gym I grabbed a Bronzor from the nearby route and trained it up a bit. Team: Spoiler:
It would be shame to pick one berry and leave the other alone so I'll be taking both. Suuuurely that won't backfire... right? With that I'll proceed to room 19. |
Rule: Fairy, Fire, Psychic, and Electric types, as well as any Pokemon that use bioluminescence, are now banned, unless they also possess the Ghost or Dark types.
This rule has not had a very big impact on my playthrough. I wasn't allowed to choose tepig, but I wanted to choose oshawott to begin with. Other than that, the only effect so far was not being able to catch a mareep in Flocessy Ranch, which is slightly dissapointing but it's not a big deal. Because I couldn't catch a Mareep and I wanted more than one pokemon, I decided to catch a riolu, a pokemon which I like but has a less-than-great level-up moveset. Spoiler:
I'd like to go to Room 13 (I don't know, it seems lucky) and I'll take the green berry |

Halloween Trick-or-Treating Event - Pokémon Ultra Sun Part II - The Failing Winner Rules Starter-lock hex Your Starter can no longer be used. Too scared to move Your Pokémon can now only have 3 damaging moves. This will be a quick update. As my second rule says, I can't have more than 3 attacking moves in each Pokémon (which I already follow, conveniently). This segment is just crossing Route 3 and battling the Island Kahuna, so nothing really special. I had some trouble with the Butterfree trainer in the route but that's it (In the end his Butterfree died to his own Struggle). The Kahuna battle, on the other side... Even with two Pokémon weak to Fighting, and no moves super-effective against it, I was confident the battle would go smoothly. Furfrou is powerful and has Fur Coat, and Grubbin has a resistance. But of course, it didn't go the way I expected it to go. So I failed the first attempt, and I had to change the strategy for attempt 2. I led the battle with Furfrou, as opposed to Makuhita the first time, and Machop couldn't stand his Headbutts. Crabrawler, however, is stronger than he looks; one Headbutt didn't even take 1/3 of his health. Even so, I used Baby Doll-Eyes on him to lower a bit of his attack, but he landed a critical hit z-move on Furfrou! I was hoping to survive it and then use some Headbutts for the flinch, but he fainted. I sent out Makuhita and took a good chunk of Crabrawler's health, and used Grubbin to take the rest with Spark. I was lucky to paralyze him and avoid some more damage. His own Makuhita didn't give me any trouble other than using loads of Sand Attacks, and Grubbin and Meowth teamed up to take him out. At this point I realized my team needs some revamping, so we'll see how that turns out in the future... It seems like Cube stole the path to room 17 from me since the beginning, so I'll have to follow his footsteps... I'm gonna pick one of those red berries, too.

EDIT: Sorry for not pinging you, I'm dead but wanted to get this update out and forgot about pings. I also only now noticed Cubism posted update when I was writing my, but I don't think I have more energy to go to the editing again today.
SUMNER CHANGES NAME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EVENT And is awarded with another curse for it. New rule has been added, check your character on the map. Sumner got to the section with mysterious staircase.

Rules: Set Curse
For a starting rule, this wasn't so bad. All it did was force me to play in set battle style which isn't particularly difficult, and it didn't do anything other than make training Burmy slightly more difficult than it would have been without the rule. Other than that, it has been a fairly standard playthrough at this point. I'll also take the red berry, please.

HM slaves and Pokemon mandated by another curse are exempt from this rule Locke Clause Any fainted Pokemon for the remainder of the run must be boxed until the completion of the run Unsure if it's the curse's smell - briny, like the ocean? - or the feeling of impending doom from the graves, Miau is feeling a bit nauseated, but can't resist the temptation of picking a berry.

Rules: Spoiler:
Some plague suddenly hit my pokemon, it must have come from that Bronzor I just caught. There was nothing I could have done to help my team, so I put it in the quarantine. Hopefully they get better. Since I had to basically start over, I backtracked a bit and caught myself a Buizel and an Onix, which I evolved soon after with a Metal Coat that I got from that recently caught Bronzor. After some training I continued on with the story and defeated Fantina. I'll be more careful with adding future team members. Team: Spoiler:
I'll take one red and one blue berry, I don't trust that green berry. With that I'll go to Room 18. |
Before I start, I'm going to say that my nicknaming theme here will be songs from Arcaea. However, due to the 10 characters limit of Pokemon names, gotta expect tons of in-game abbreviations despite me referring to them by their full names. 🙃
Spoiler: The rules as of now
Aile chose a Treecko whom she nicknamed Fracture Ray. She then had a Pound/Scratch-fest with Brendan's Torchic, got a Pokedex from Professor Birch, met Mr. Dad Norman at Petalburg Gym, helped Wally to catch his first Pokemon, and made her way to Rustboro City. The catchathon ensued with her getting Grievous Lady the Zigzagoon, Babaroque the Lotad, Purgatorium the Ralts, Modelista the Wingull, Singularity the Marill, Chronostasis the Shroomish, and Ignotus the Nincada. And Aile closed this part by beating Roxanne with Modelista (vs Roxanne's first Geodude), Fracture Ray (vs Roxanne's second Geodude), and Chronostasis (vs Roxanne's Nosepass) despite being underleveled. https://i.imgur.com/R1PtJTJm.jpg Spoiler: Aile's squad as of now

Part 1 - Veteran and The Dillemma
Rules Spoiler:
Okay, so i guess there isn't enough pain for me that i choose to finish another hack (jeez me, why the heck would you torture yourself once more). Sooo.. Rutile Ruby is just like other hacks more challenging and difficult than the normal one. And boi papi, that rule stiffs the hell out of me, i mean no items? So i locked out from evolutionary stones and ability capsules? Mamma mia. So basically i just gather a ragtag group (Well except Ralts, i actually hunted one that hold Gardevoirite) while my Combusken sweep Roxanne, it's still easy cause i have Fighting type moves but for the next one if i don't be able to rebound from this issue with items, i'm toasted. I'm taking one red berry, it shouldn't be worst than the first one (A Big maybe on this one), moving to room 10 Gym Badges : 1/8 Current Team Spoiler:

CUBISM IS DOWN Going down the rabbit hole, Cubism ends in weird cave. That must be a curse! New rule has been added, check your character on the map. The cave he ended up seems pretty huge.

Halloween Trick-or-Treating in Platinum - Gyms 4/8
Rules: Spoiler:
Welp the birds rule means I have to put either Staraptor ot Noctowl on my team, however neither of them learns a fire type move without using a TM, so I'm just picking whatever would a less dead slot. And so I chose Noctowl as it learns Zen Headbutt later and some sweet status moves. I'm just gonna wait a bit until I can switch-train it more easily up to those levels. Other than that it's going great. I re-caught Ponyta, hopefully that one fares better than the last one. It helped greatly against Maylene but still it wasn't an easy fight. I should probably remake my team, but future rules will probably force me to do it anyway. Team: Spoiler:
This run is so cursed, let's just see how much can we push it. 2 Reds please :) Also sure, let's go underground |

Bidding a goodbye to Singularity, Modelista and Babaroque, Aile decided to take Ignotus out from the PC and do more catchathon while hunting down a random Aqua grunt who stole some stuffs and on her way to Dewford Town, resulting in her getting Nhelv the Taillow, Viyella the Aron, Flyburg the Zubat, and Endroll the Makuhita. At Granite Cave near Dewford Town, she delivered Mr. Stone's mail to Steven while grinding the squad, evolving Fracture Ray into Grovyle in process.

Rules: Spoiler:
So with the new rules I boxed Floatzel and caught Meditite. The problem is it doesn't really learn non stab moves by level up, (and especially fire type moves) so I backtracked to Wayward Cave to Mira to train it up freely. Once it evolved into Medicham, I continued on to Pastoria City where I could finally free up its moveset with move relearner (I picked up a few Heart Scales in the underground in the meantime). With that Medicham was at pretty high level, so Crasher Wake fell with relative ease. Team: Spoiler:
Aww, only 1 berry? I guess I'll take it and go down |
Well, here we go again. Let's see how many random curses I end up with that throw me to the ghost wolves this time.

Game: Gold Where you want to start (Rooms 1-8): 1 So after using a random number generator, I got 2, so we're going blue. |
Thank you for letting me get in ^-^
I've started the game with Cyndaquil, named Wisp, which was originally my plan anyway. The forest's curse means i cannot use Bug/Grass/Flying/Poison types, with the exception of the Gastle line because it is a ghost. That takes away the majority of early route pokemon already, but not the one I wanted most! I caught Kappa the Poliwag to help with the first gym. I trained my team up a bit and walked into the gym, struggling with the first gym trainer already. Then Kappa decided to be awesome and make Falkner's Pidgey and Pidgeotto sleep for the majority of the fight, leading to an easy win. After the win, I greedily take all the berries as my reward, being unaware of the complications Rules: Forest's curse: No Bug/Grass/Flying/Poison types allowed Team: Cyndaquil -Tackle -Leer -Smokescreen Poliwag -Bubble -Hypnosis Question: If I were to take all berries every time, would that lead to problems with the set-up or in-game? Because I do like a crazy challenge but I do not want to ruin your set-up for this :) |

Oh whoops I forgot to add a room to go to!
The Ocean's curse takes Kappa's soul back to the ocean, her body turning into water, only a small puddle remained of poor Kappa... You shall not be forgotten buddy! Just Wisp and me were left, in need for a new team member we went into the wilds, finding Ghost the Gastly and then Golem the Geodude in the Dark Cave. We adventured through the union cave without much troubles, but then there was Azalea, completely dark with only some Jack-O-Lanterns lighting the path. We went into the cave, where some people were funnily dressed up and had some fun battles before challenging the gym leader Bugsy. Strangely enough, Cyndaquil did not evolve into Quilava, something strange was going on... Three Rock Throws later Bugsy was defeated. We also defeated the stranger from before, who seemed to be an actual challenge, but luckily Ghost could sleep his Croconaw for long enough and weaken it for Wisp to finish it off. Then he vanished and the hand presents 4 more berries, I take all 4, putting the red and green ones in my pocket, but staring at the strange one for longer, trying to figure out what's so special about it. Then I hear a noise behind me and run of scared, into the forest, as much to the north as I can (that'd be room 10 right? Making sure to move now!) Rules: Forest's curse: No Bug/Grass/Flying/Poison types allowed No-slot hex: Max team size of 5 Ocean's curse: No Water/Ice/Dragon types allowed The curse of eternal youth: No evolutions Zombie Dinner: Must have a biting move A quiet place: No sound based moves Team: Ghost the Gastly -Lick -Hypnosis -Mean Look -Spite Golem the Geodude -Magnitude -Rock Throw -Defense Curl -Tackle Wisp the Cyndaquil -Ember -Tackle -Mud-Slap -Leer The cursed.... Kappa the Poliwag Question: There is a rule that requires me to have a biting move on all pokemon that learn one, but this isn't that many in Crystal. Does this rule force me to catch a pokemon with a biting move or should I just go without? |

Ok, a curse I can get behind since 2/3 of my starter options aren't bothered by it at all.
Episode 1 - Revenge of the Trick-or-Treating Event: 2019 Edition Current Curses Fridge Horror - No STAB moves for anything that doesn't have a Fire move or resists Ice. Ah, Generation 2, with your totally unbalanced level scaling. Still my favorite generation of all, though. Probably because nostalgia, but that's whatever. So after the usual "starting the game" business, I decided against my better judgement of picking Totodile and picked Cyndaquil. I mean, between the three Johto starters, I tend to pick Cyndaquil the least, so I might as well, right? I gotta be prepared for anything at this point. Anyway, on the way, I'll go about and grind off of any random encounters to Mr. Pokemon, beat ???, and then go back to New Bark Town to get my Poke Balls. After all of that is settled, it's off towards Violet City, destroying every trainer in my path because, right now, I don't really need any other team members. Although, I did have a close call with poison thanks to a Weedle. Anyway, after reaching Violet City and restocking on Potions, it was off to Sprout Tower to obliterate all of the Bellsprout...and the two Hoothoot. On the way, Blaze, my Cyndaquil, evolved into Quilava. I honestly forgot how early it evolves. It just made everything much easier, though. I don't think the gym needs any introduction. I have a high leveled Quilava against a bunch of weak Flying types. This is no contest. Everything died in either 1 or 2 Embers. Although...after beating Falkner, something weird happened. The entire gym changed shape into a room with a single door, a statue, and a few berries left on the floor. As far as I know, something really bad will happen if I dare interact with that statue, but it's the first room, so let's give it a shot. Unless it moves me to a random room, I'll take one of the red berries and it's off to Room 14. The Team https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/gold/normal/quilava.png Blaze (Quilava) Lv. 16 @ Nothing (because why would I use my hard earned Berries now?) Moves: Tackle, Leer, Smokescreen, Ember |
Part 2 - Veteran and His Crippled Team
OH NOOO! You've just taken out two best parts of my team (Ralts and Combusken). Well i'll just keep it short since unfortunately i have quite a lot of stuff going on right now. So i catched Lord Peeko and Rocky and Lord Peeko managed to defeat Brawly flawlessly but... I going to fight Wattson next which is not good for Lord Peeko, so i'll probably depends on Larvitar next fight. Gym Badges : 2/8 Current Team Spoiler:

Welp, I should've randomized this rom, because I can't evolve this Haunter at all now when it eventually evolves. rip me.
Episode 2 - A New Ghostly Friend Current Curses Fridge Horror - No STAB moves for anything that doesn't have a Fire move or resists Ice. Ghostly Adventure - Catch a Gastly (because it's the only Ghost type available), it's locked into the team. Cursed Ground - No more Ground, Rock, or Fighting types. Well, this could be a thing. I didn't put this rom through the randomizer, so unless I redo the entire game until this point, I can't evolve the eventual Haunter into a Gengar. A shame, but I guess we have to deal with it. Anyway, now I have to go back to Sprout Tower and toss Poke Balls at a Gastly until I catch it. Luckily, I managed to find one first encounter, and after three Poke Balls, I got it. It was Level 5 too. Welcome Stalker to the team. She will need to be switch trained for a while, though. With that aside, I had to go heal because Blaze got paralyzed during the capture mission so I went and grabbed the egg. With the egg in hand, it's off towards Union Cave, destroying trainers along the way. While fighting trainers, it made me realize how few moves this thing learns in this generation. So far, Lick is Stalker's only offensive move, and after the first Union Cave trainer, she's Level 13. This is going to be painful, especially with Whitney coming later and no Rock types. Speaking of which, Union Cave...it's a cave. Not anything too special. Stalker got a lot of action since most of the encounters in there are things Blaze can't handle on her own and Stalker got Curse. That's about all the eventful things that happened in Union Cave. Anyway, time for Azalea Town! So that one trainer on the way to Azalea Town gave me a harsh demonstration of how weak to Rock my team is. Stalker can't take a hit and Blaze is weak to Rock. We need to get a Water type soon. Either that or a Grass type, but we'll have to wait and see. For now, after a visit to Kurt, it's time for Slowpoke Well. Because Blaze will get all the gym action, I mainly used Stalker on anything that wasn't named Rattata because I couldn't touch it with anything but Curse, and I'd rather not waste items. With that aside, Blaze set fire to Bugsy's gym. Nothing survived. Once again, though, after beating the gym, all the ashen remains started moving on their own and the shape of the room changed. Unlike before, there's a bunch of berries on the floor. Onward and forward to Room 15 with one green berry in hand. The Team https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/gold/normal/quilava.png Blaze (Quilava) Lv. 20 @ Nothing Moves: Tackle, Leer, Smokescreen, Ember (she learned no new moves) https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/gold/normal/gastly.png Stalker (Gastly) Lv. 18 @ Nothing Moves: Hypnosis, Lick, Curse, Mean Look (I realize now that I can't have a STAB move, but I have no way of teaching a move to replace Lick right now. Thinking about it now, it's much worse. Until I get Thief, and if I'm not allowed to use Lick, then Stalker actually cannot attack outside of Curse. Gengar is the only member of the line that can learn elemental punches and almost every TM for Gastly/Haunter is locked behind postgame aside from Nightmare, Thunder, and few others. Out of all of them, only three are offensive moves and two are only able to be gotten on Sunday. Either I have to farm for Thunder or Stalker's a dead slot outside a move that'll pretty much get her killed 100% of the time because bad defenses. Well, this could be...bad. For me. Looks like a Typhlosion solo run featuring a Ghost type is in my future.) |
Oopsies, sorry Janp. I was kinda busy these last few days.

Done with Brawly, Aile decided to catch one more mon (Clotho the Geodude) at Granite Cave before moving on to Slateport City. She had to deliver the Devon stuffs from before to Captain Stern there. Evolutions ensued en route: Purgatorium into Kirlia, Grievous Lady into Linoone, and Ignotus into Ninjask (with her giving birth to Afterburn the Shedinja). Aile eventually found Captain Stern in the Oceanic Museum, then proceeded to do the (limited) catchathon on her way to Mauville City, thus ending up with Sheriruth the Poochyena from Route 110 and Axium Crisis the Oddish from Route 117. She also fought Brendan at Route 110 with the help of Clotho (weakened Brendan's Wingull), Purgatorium (weakened Brendan's Combusken), Grievous Lady (finished both Brendan's Wingull and Combusken off), and Afterburn (took Brendan's Lombre out). And then training ensued with the help of the trainers hanging out at the routes around Mauville (including the Winstrate family where Afterburn became a total bro). The training was not for Wattson, but for the future routes. Why? Because Clotho soloed him big time. https://i.imgur.com/TWFH0NJm.jpg Spoiler: Aile's squad as of now

After running north blindly, I ended up in a creepy dark forest, lost, cold, hungry. I kept trying to find my way, but to no avail. I kept having the feeling that I was being followed, but nothing was to be seen behind me. It started to freak me out, so I decided to take action. "Wisp, get out" as I called Cyndaquil out of his pokeball. A path was seen. We followed it, getting to a clearing. Suddenly, birds attacked from all sides, pecking, tackling, leaving me bruised on the ground before they quickly disappeared. We ran far the exit and finally got out, happy to see the daylight again. We battled some trainers, still feeling followed. At some point I closed my eyes before turning around, then opened them. I saw a small Hoothoot skipping into the bush and then curiously peeking out of it. I decided to catch the little cutie!
Introduce Nightmare the Hoothoot! We trained with our newest team member and got ready for the gym. Wisp still hadn't evolved strangely enough, but he surely was trying his hardest to keep up. The gym battle was not so hard, Nightmare dealt with the Clefairy easily, then Ghost Cursed the Miltank while Golem stalled it out. Nightmare seemed to like my Charcoal a lot, which I found cute, little Hoothoot playing with a Charcoal! Until he ate the thing. I looked at Nightmare weirdly, but he only tilted his littled head in a cute way, so I put him on my shoulder and continued walking, until our way got blocked by this weird tree. I stopped, forgot my Squirtbottle and returned to the city. On the second trip towards the tree it had gotten dark. Suddenly, I felt an excruciating pain on my shoulder and collapsed. After recovering, I had a big burning claw mark on my shoulder.... I will take all berries and move north to 18 Rules: Forest's curse: No Bug/Grass/Flying/Poison types allowed No-slot hex: Max team size of 5 Ocean's curse: No Water/Ice/Dragon types allowed The curse of eternal youth: No evolutions Zombie Dinner: Must have a biting move A quiet place: No sound based moves BIRDS!!!!!: Add regional bird I wish I had gotten this later, because after this section I could have caught a Noctowl, considering I cannot evolve... Nightmare fuel: A pokemon must have a Fire and Ghost move, equip Charcoal, teach Nightmare if possible Have a guess who the Nightmare is going to be... With Nightmare and Sunny day! Dracula's apprentice: Teach all HP draining moves Global rules: Because I already have Gastly, I need to add Sneasel to my team when I reach Icy Path, this is the only available Dark type, because I cannot evolve Eevee.

With my shoulder still burning, I ordered Golem to take down the weird tree, which fell in two Magnitudes. We battles the Kimono girls and stumbled upon the weird guy again in the burnt tower, the one that had disappeared before. After a difficult battle, he faded into nothing, leaving only a single berry for us to take. After that, some extra training was done for the upcoming gym battle and we found out that NO Pokemon was evolving! Nightmare stayed as the cute Hoothoot, Golem was still a Geodude and Wisp was still a Cyndaquil. Ghost was silently laughing a the back. What was going on? Our team of unevolved Pokemon challenge Morty. Golem had no troubles shutting down the Gastly and Haunter, but got put to sleep by Gengar. I swapped him out for Nightmare, who also got put to sleep. Then swapped to Wisp, who managed to land a Mud-Slap before falling asleep as well! I swapped to Ghost, who landed Hypnosis, then back to Golem. Golem managed to wake up before Gengar did and took it out in 1 Magnitude, then finished off the last Haunter as well. It was really a team effort to take down this Gengar!
Luckily, not too many difficult rules this time :). I'll take the 1 berry and move north again, to the undiscovered room 21! Rules: Forest's curse: No Bug/Grass/Flying/Poison types allowed No-slot hex: Max team size of 5 Ocean's curse: No Water/Ice/Dragon types allowed The curse of eternal youth: No evolutions Zombie Dinner: Must have a biting move A quiet place: No sound based moves BIRDS!!!!!: Add regional bird Nightmare fuel: A pokemon must have a Fire and Ghost move, equip Charcoal, teach Nightmare if possible Dracula's apprentice: Teach all HP draining moves The blaire witch: Must toss 5 items, because I JUST deleted Spite from Gastle... Considering I can't use items in battle anymore I just tossed my X items! Frozen curse: Any frozen pokemon must be boxed Embargo: No items in battle Global rules: Add a Dark type to my team. (Sneasel will be added) No type overlapping (I will also do secondary typings) Revived Poliwag, can only use physical moves and never battle along with other team members (useless? xD) Team: Wisp the Cyndaquil -Ember -Headbutt -Leer -Mud-Slap Ghost the Gastly -Lick (Will become Dream Eater) -Night Shade -Hypnosis -Curse Golem the Geodude -Magnitude -Rock Throw -Defense Curl -Selfdestruct Nightmare the Hoothoot -Peck (Will become Dream Eater) -Hypnosis -Nightmare -Reflect (Will become Sunny Day) To be added: Sneasel in the Icy Path! |

Anyway I finally found few minutes to post my next update. This happened back on Monday, so no Global Rule was in effect during this part. And the game is making fun of me right from the start: https://i.imgur.com/sL5Ur7Z.png Anyway, this part was pretty short. I continued with Cyanide to the Mt. Moon and caught another Pokémon - Clefairy named Eerie. I spent lot of time training her and then finally getting out of this cave, while picking up Helix Fossil for later. To keep this short, Misty had no chance against my poison pal and his space girlfriend. Now that three Global Rules were activated I'll have to add Gastly on my team. Since its primary type is Ghost, I can safely put it right next to the Cyanide. The last Global Rule doesn't affect me in any way. Oh and as for my current rule - Hexed Hands: It did nothing so far to me, but I'm pretty sure it will make the E4 harder somehow.

Btw does the rule applies as well if I'm forced to keep half of my team with the "you can't in any circumstances use them on the same team as your current Pokémon." part? |
Curses:
Light’s End Elm Street Neighbours Embargo Ghostly Adventure - GLOBAL RULE Making Frankenstein - GLOBAL RULE Zombieland - GLOBAL RULE None of these curses have affected me that much, though not being able to use potions made the fight with Burgh a bit frustrating. Also, the combination of Light's End and Making Frankenstein might become frustrating later on. I could not yet capture a ghost pokemon, so the Ghostly Adventure rule is only taking effect now that I can catch Yamask in Relic Castle. Spoiler:
For the next stage, I'm going to Room 16 and I'm taking a Blue Berry. Thanks |

Janp, can you confirm that Ghostly Adventure is meant to be on my curse list? It doesn't affect anything for the first part of the game as the first ghost type (Drifloon) available is after the first gym. Anyway, I will pick the blue berry and move forward to Room 12. |
So a curse that is pretty much irrelevant and an easily avoidable one. I am fine with this. The plan has not changed...but I have to fight Whitney now, so I better pick a god and pray.
Episode 3 - Picking a God and Praying Current Curses Fridge Horror - No Fire move or Ice resist = No STAB moves. AKA rip Stalker. Ghostly Adventure - Stalker is locked in the team. I can't get another Ghost type anyway since Misdreavus is the only other Ghost type in Gen 2...and it's only in Mt. Silver. Cursed Ground - No Ground, Rock, or Fighting types. Too scared to move - Only 3 attacking moves. Irrelevant for Stalker because no STAB moves allowed anyway. Making Frankenstein - Primary types for team members must be different. So far we have Fire and and Ghost (because forced). Zombieland - Irrelevant. Today's the day I always dread when I play a Johto game, and it's Whitney. I should, in theory, be fine, but you never know with these things. Anyway, before we can head into Ilex Forest, we have to deal with Stizh, my rival. Since I can't use Lick, Croconaw is a bit scary, but hopefully we'll get some workarounds to it in the future. Other than that, his team was no real threat. Anyway, after taking of the Farfetch'd situation, I went back and grabbed the Charcoal for Blaze, and then it was back to the forest to get a Paras...which took longer than expected. I still got one, though, as a Cut slave. Now, it's off to Goldenrod. So at this point in time, I can't possibly get the Thunder TM yet because I lack the money to just outright buy 5500 casino coins or the time to farm the slots, so until then, Stalker is officially a Hypnosis bot because the Dream Eater TM is in Kanto and Nightmare is a Ghost move, so I can't use it because Fridge Horror. I did go to National Park to destroy the trainers and get the Dig TM...you know, if I ever get another viable team member from a curse or something and the Quick Claw because Quick Claw. Anyway, the gym trainers aren't scary in Whitney's gym. As we all know, it's that infamous Miltank. Anyway, Clefairy wasn't too bad. Hypnosis to put it to sleep and then switch to my only viable team member to destroy it. For Miltank, I had Stalker put it to sleep then die with Curse to make my life easier. Afterwards, with some Smokescreen spam for good measure while the Miltank slept and the Curse drained it's HP, a couple of Embers finished the job. Like before, though, Whitney's losing cry was...weird. The room broke apart while her crying echoed through the new room. Against my better judgement, I'll take a red berry, pray I can eventually get the Hidden Power TM (the only non Ghost or Poison offensive move that I think Stalker can get outside of Thunder at this point since I couldn't get Return/Frustration), and it's off to the currently unexplored Room 26. The Team https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/gold/normal/quilava.png Blaze (Quilava) Lv. 26 @ Charcoal Moves: Quick Attack, Leer, Smokescreen, Ember https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/gold/normal/gastly.png Stalker (Gastly) Lv. 21 @ Nothing Moves: Hypnosis, Lick, Curse, Mean Look |

Oh dear, Nuzlocke catching rules. I was going to look for a Miltank to use.... Guess there won't be a Miltank for me!
I'm not sure if you literally mean I can't get more berries, but if there's an issue, feel free to only give me whichever rules you can. I'll pick up the red berries first and then the green one, putting them all in my pocket before diving into the lake. Also, on my character I can scroll down to the new rule (first-encounters), but when I hover it I can't read the full description. This won't be an issue for this rule, but may be important later. If needed you could remove some of the less impactful rules, I have all rules saved on my phone anyway! :) At nighttime, we continued our adventure to the west, finding a wild Magnemite Introducing: Static the Magnemite to the team! We defeated some more trainers and safely made it to Olivine city. There, our Odd egg hatched into a shiny Cleffa! Introduce Succubus the Cleffa. For now she is not part of the team, but who knows that we may need her later. We went to investigate the Lighthouse, which seemed to not be working. We battled some more trainers on the way up and when we made it to the upper floor there was an Ampharos on the floor, bleeding, having vicious scratches all over its body, with blood visible on all the walls. Some monster must have been here! I called for Wisp to light up the floor some more and saw a horrifying message on the wall: "Stay away from here and do not return". Horrified I investigated the floor completely, but there was nothing strange to be found. I used a Super Potion on the Ampharos, which seemed to relieve its pain a little, but it needed something stronger to be cured. We left the lighthouse to ask around in the town, but all town members seemed to be unaware of anything having happened. As if they have all been hypnotized and didn't even notice that the lighthouse was not working. One lady told me to go to Cianwood's pharmacy to get the proper medicine. I thought about having to go back to that freaky bloody room with the medicine, as well as that message, but decided I had no choice. I could not leave poor Amphy there. So we travelled over the sea, giving Static some extra training to catch up in levels, unable to catch anything useful there, because we could not use any water types, not after what happened to Kappa. We arrived at Cianwood just fine, picked up the medicine from the pharmacy, strangely enough the dude had already put it on the counter for me before I arrived, as if he knew I was coming. Then we went into the gym, to get our next badge. Nightmare lost the fight against Hitmonchan, going down to a Thunderpunch, so I sent out Golem. Tried to Magnitude the Hitmonchan, but Hitmonchan was faster and hit with an Ice Punch, leaving Golem frozen. A second Ice Punch took out Golem. No big deal I thought, sending out Wisp and finishing off the Hitmonchan with Flame Wheel. Then we went back to the Pokecenter to heal the team back up, but there was something strange... Golem was still frozen. Unable to move. Nightmare was fine, hopping around the Golem curiously, but Golem would not move, felt cold, colder than regular ice. It hadn't been healed by the Pokecenter... We went back inside and Nurse Joy tried to heal him again, but to no avail. Golem would stay frozen. I heard a little voice in my head, saying "The curse has struck again". Getting into my box to put Golem in I noticed something more strange. Kappa was there. And smelled horrible, eyes completely white. When I tried to put Kappa back into the party, it became hostile against the other team members, refusing to go with them, so I quickly put Kappa back in the box, next to the frozen Geodude. The following gym battle went fine, Nightmare destroyed Chuck completely with his Hypnosis and Nightmare combination. Then we sat down on the beach for a moment, thinking about what had happened and preparing for a possible encounter with the lighthouse monster when we would get back to Olivine... Rules: Forest's curse: No Bug/Grass/Flying/Poison types allowed No-slot hex: Max team size of 5 Ocean's curse: No Water/Ice/Dragon types allowed The curse of eternal youth: No evolutions Zombie Dinner: Must have a biting move A quiet place: No sound based moves BIRDS!!!!!: Add regional bird Nightmare fuel: A pokemon must have a Fire and Ghost move, equip Charcoal, teach Nightmare if possible Dracula's apprentice: Teach all HP draining moves The blaire witch: Must toss 5 items Frozen curse: Any frozen pokemon must be boxed Embargo: No items in battle First-Encounter clause: Can only catch first encounters Team: Wisp the Cyndaquil -Flame Wheel -Headbutt -Rollout -Swagger Ghost the Gastly -Thunder -Night Shade -Hypnosis -Curse Nightmare the Hoothoot -Swift -Hypnosis -Nightmare -Peck Static the Magnemite -Thundershock -Tackle -Thunder Wave -Supersonic (to be deleted, is sound based) Sneasel (to be added later) The cursed: Kappa the Poliwag (Revived as zombie) Golem the Geodude (Frozen) |
Halloween Trick-or-Treating in Platinum - Gyms 8/8
Rules: Spoiler:
Well, I finally got the rule I feared the most, although it doesn't matter much at this point as most of my team is pretty strong, just need to train them up a bit more for E4. It also helped me remove the most useless team member Sadly because of that Noctowl died in battle against Cyrus, at least it set up a nice Reflect before going out, so the rest of the team could survive. After the story bit Hippowdon defeated Volkner with ease, so only E4 left! :D Team: Spoiler:
Oh wow it's almost the end, I'll take the two green berries for the final segment so I end the challenge with 5 of each. (also I guess there is no point in moving anymore so I guess I'll stay in the shrine room, I like it here :) ) |

Spoiler: The rules as of now
From Mauville, Aile made her way to Lavaridge Town. Sounds easy but actually not, thanks to Team Magma. Them blocking the way to Mt. Chimney was why the girl had to make a detour to Fallarbor Town, then back to Rustboro City via Meteor Falls, through Rusturf Tunnel where Grievous Lady's Rock Smash helped Wanda, Wally's cousin, to reunite with her boyfriend, and back to Mt. Chimney by the time it had opened. She also had to deal with Team Magma's shenanigans up there before going down to Lavaridge Town via Jagged Pass. Again, the catchathon and evolutions were unavoidable at this point: Spoiler: Catchathon
Spoiler: Evolution
Speaking of Lavaridge Town, one does not simply forget to grab a Wynaut egg there and talk about its gym leader, Flannery. Clotho, Syro, and Viyella worked together to take her on. To be fair though, Aile had to use a Revive on Clotho while fighting Flannery's Torkoal (of all things). https://i.imgur.com/aVaFC8bm.jpg Spoiler: Aile's squad as of now

Halloween Trick-or-Treating in Platinum - Completed
Rules: Spoiler:
Dusknoir doesn't learn Spite (ok, it does by move tutor, but I'm far from having enough shards for that and I don't wish to waste time in underground just for that) so I tossed all my X items, I can't use them anyway. I expected to add more team members before E4, but instead with the global rule I had to remove another two, oh well. Turns out Houndoom + Nasty Plot + Flamethrower + all those Rare Candies you get in the game is pretty powerful, I basically solo'd the E4 with it, what a weird end to all this madness. Hall of Fame: Spoiler:
Spoiler:
I guess the challenge is done? That was a crazy week and a half, I had a lot of fun with it :D. I'm glad I decided to randomly check the forum back then. |
I will run to the east, area 33! Taking all berries of course. Not yet giving up on that challenge!
Also, I'll be on holiday for a week tomorrow, so no updates for a bit except MAYBE this evening ______________ Suddenly I woke up, I looked around and saw myself still being at Cianwood's shore. Luckily, all my Pokemon were still around, Nightmare and Ghost sleeping, Static was floating around and Wisp was just sitting there, staring at me creepily. So I approached him and asked, "what's wrong buddy?". Then it transformed into a Ditto, smiling creepily. I woke up and we started to look for Wisp, but he was nowhere to be found. During our search, a strange floatinf rectangle appeared, got closer and closer. Static got pulled to it by it's magnetic force and then got stuck. The rectangle started to float away and I started to pull on Static. It wasn't working, Static was stuck and bleeping in panic. As the rectangle got higher I had to let go. Another team member gone. As if this adventure was cursed... I suppose I'd have to do with this Ditto now. We flew back to Olivine and got inside the lighthouse, climbing up carefully, but when we got to the upper floor, it was completely cleaned and there was a lady caring for Ampharos. I gave Ampharos the medicine and it started to glow again. The lady introduced herself as the gym leader and we challenged her to a battle. It was the most difficult battle so far. Ghost put Magnemite to sleep, gave them a Curse and then healed back up with Dream Eater. Steelix was more durable. It got put to sleep, but then woke up as Ghost Cursed it, going down to an Iron Tail. Nightmare got sent out and put Steelix back to sleep and gave it Nightmares. Steelix woke up again and Nightmare barely survives an Iron Tail. We put Steelix back to sleep for the third time, for it never to wake up again! Finally we had won this fight!

Day 1
Oof, between Forest’s Curse and Rectangular Force making only Ghost and Dark types available, this should be uh… interesting. Good thing I didn't choose FR like I was going to originally, oh that would've been bad lol Looks like Poochyena is about to become my very best friend - Caught Poochyena, my new partner-in-crime. Nicknamed Lycan - Rustboro Gym! Is a nightmare. I’ve got a dark type, a fire type, and not allowed grass? - Well, I was going to follow the global rule except for Torchic just so I wouldn’t have to get rid of so many pokemon, but I guess I’m gonna have to find something that can use water/grass moves if I don’t want to spend the next few hours grinding - omg I always forgot about Nosepass - Well, after several failed attempts, I went and caught a Marill and levelled her up until she learned water gun. And then in the end, turned out the process of levelling up Marill also meant Lycan was now at a high enough level to beat Roxanne all on his own! - Boxed Marill and Torchic. Just you and me for a while now Lycan! I will choose a green berry and move to room 5 Also, question: with Rectangular Force, are we still allowed HM slaves that aren't dark/poison/ghost? Second question: Can I use Seedot even though it's a pure grass type, since it will evolve into a grass/dark type? |

Spoiler: The rules as of now
Knowing that a bazillion of her mons (including her starter, Fracture Ray) are cursed somehow, Aile had to set them aside until only Afterburn, Sheriruth, Quon, Flyburg, and Axium Crisis left. She shuffled the whole squad and made her way through the desert at Route 111 where she got Ether Strike the Cacnea. Not only that, evolutions also ensued due to the grinding she had done: Spoiler: Evolution
The girl ultimately decided to switch Flyburg with Quon and Axium Crisis with Ether Strike after contemplating for quite some time. Back at Petalburg City, Aile and her ragtag foursome squad went all out against Mr. Dad Norman. Sheriruth dealt with his Spinda and helped Quon to take care of his Vigoroth, Ether Strike handled his Slaking nicely despite the latter spamming Yawn, and Afterburn took out his Linoone like a champ (seems like they had their own training with Grievous Lady for quite some time 😏). Aile then rushed back home to tell her mom about this "daddy's girl has grown up" moment. https://i.imgur.com/nmHd9i9m.jpg PS: I use they/them pronouns for genderless Pokemon with green names like Afterburn. Spoiler: Aile's squad as of now (in no particular order)

You know, I should've expected something like this would happen. At least Eevee is coming up, so at least I'll have something halfway viable for a while, or I might have to see what the grass has to offer since Stalker pretty much can't attack. Also, most of this was typed up before Rectangular Force happened, so...that's a thing.
Episode 4 - End of a Dream, Start of a Nightmare Current Curses Fridge Horror - No Fire move or Ice resist = No STAB moves. AKA rip Stalker. Ghostly Adventure - Misdreavus is only in Mt. Silver. Cursed Ground - No Ground, Rock, or Fighting types. Too scared to move - Only 3 attacking moves. Irrelevant for Stalker because no STAB moves allowed anyway. Making Frankenstein - Primary types for team members must be different. However, now with Rectangular Force, I'm pretty sure I'll be limited on the number of mons I can have at all. Zombieland - Still irrelevant. Starter-lock Hex - rip Blaze Rectangular Force - Any non Ghost, Dark, or Poison types are banned. So I had a good post in progress, then I accidently deleted it all and couldn't recover it. So, I'm just gonna give a highlight reel of what happened because now I'm mad and can't be bothered to retype all of that. -We're kinda screwed because Stalker basically has no attacks -Sudowoodo died because Hypnosis into Curse strats -Psychic Greg almost ruined me because his Drowzee has Dream Eater strats. -Back to Goldenrod to get Hex the Eevee, but because of Fridge Horror, I had to teach him the only move I could, Mud-Slap -Battled the gym trainers in Ecrtueak, but not Morty, then the Kimono Girls -Headed to Olivine to scoop up the Good Rod...and pray. I only found Magikarps, though. -Went and caught a Growlithe...because I don't even know why anymore. I'm running out of plans. At least it's immune to Fridge Horror and can learn Dig...is what I would say, but I typed most of this up before Rectangular Force became a thing, so now the Growlithe is just box filler and a waste of Poke Balls. So thanks to Rectangular Force and the fact I can't use Ground types, going and catching a Nidoran would be a waste of time since I wouldn't be allowed to evolve either of them. I can catch a Tentacool later for a Water type since it's also a Poison type, but I can't do that without access to Surf, so we have to do Morty with an Eevee with Mud-Slap and a Haunter that has no direct offense against 4 mons. Let's pick a god and pray. The Gastly got put to sleep right away and all it took was one Mud-Slap to kill it. The first Haunter was iffy since I missed two Hypnosis, but once I got it off, Hex managed to deal with it using a few Mud-Slaps. Next is the threat, the Gengar. I know for sure it outspeeds me and loves Hypnosis and Dream Eater. The plan was to switch Stalker in and pray it doesn't land it's own Hypnosis so I can use my own and Hypnosis it and follow up with Curse. Instead he just Shadow Balls me and I get one shot. Just when it couldn't get worse, he lands Hypnosis first shot and puts Hex to sleep. I didn't buy Awakenings, so I had to use one of my one Full Heals. He missed the second Hypnosis and I got a Mud-Slap off. After that began the Sand-Attack spam. Sure, he got off another one, but I had another Full Heal and he was already missing a ton. Last was the second Haunter and I had almost no Mud-Slaps left. And by "almost none," I mean one. So after the Haunter wasted it's turn on Mean Look, I threw off the last Mud-Slap. Good thing I have Ethers. He has Spite, though, and just like that, it's back to no Mud-Slaps again. I only got off one. Figuring there was no point in wasting my last Ether, I decided to spam my useless moves to just try and Struggle him to death. It turns out this Haunter has Mimic and no actual way of hurting an Eevee, so while I was draining Quick Attack PP, he Mimic'd it. Eventually, he ran out of PP before I did and started Struggling to death. This is what we've come to. Eventually, and with a few heals, it killed itself with Stuggle. Because I didn't buy items, we only survived because I luckily had two Full Heals. This is just wild. At least I can go catch a Tentacool after I catch a Krabby as a Surf and Strength slave. ...Oh right. I still have to do the stuff. Well, considering that the last time I interacted with something, I blocked off a path, I'm not gonna try it this time. All my sets are already screwed and because Gen 2 has so limited options in the main story, taking a green berry will provide the least damage since the combination of other curses has already driven me into such a deep corner, I have to rely on a weak Ground move and Curse to not die. Let's go to Room 27. At least I'm halfway there.

Halloween Trick or Treat 2019 Platinum Rules: BIRDS!!! Rectangular Force Reversed Record Player Zombie Dinner Final Destination Paranormal Encounter Ghostly Adventure Making Frakenstein Zombieland So quick note I did not fully read over the new rules since I completed the third gym in my free time and did not notice any of the new global rules. So if it seems like my team is breaking any of those rules then know it was when I was playing through the game when I was only aware of my personal rules. Anyway...Move to zone 25 and pick up two blue and one red berry. Though I will say...for the BIRDS!!! rule do I get rid of it since one of the Global Rules is only use Ghost, Dark, and Poison types? Team: https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/diamond-pearl/normal/grotle.png Nick: Yertle Level: 24 Moveset: -Rock Smash -Curse -Bite -Razor Leaf https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/diamond-pearl/normal/staravia-f.png Level: 25 Moveset: -Double Team -Endeavor -Quick Attack -Wing Attack https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/diamond-pearl/normal/gastly.png Level: 19 Moveset: -Spite -Confuse Ray -Curse -Night Shade https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/diamond-pearl/normal/bronzor.png Nick: Soul Level: 18 Moveset: -Confusion -Hypnosis -Imprision -Confuse Ray https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/diamond-pearl/normal/pachirisu-f.png Nick: Sandy Level: 23 Moveset: -Spark -Cut -Quick Attack -Endure |
Note: I completed the gym before realizing that Rectangular Force was in play. Also, I totally should have posted sooner.
Rules: Set Curse Cursed Ground Paranormal Adventure Making Frankenstein Zombieland Rectangular Force A lot of new rules fell into play during this section, so I'll discuss how they effected my team in order of arrival Cursed Ground forbade me from using any effectively forced me to evolve Burmy into Wormadam Plant Cloak, and also prevented my from catching some other Pokemon that would have been helpful. It also meant that the only Ghost-type valid for Paranormal Adventure was Drifloon, so she got added to the team. Making Frankenstein also ended up being kind of a pain as it prevented me from catching a few Pokemon that I was hoping to use (not like they would have been valid after Rectangular Force came into effect.) And Zombieland was not applicable in any circumstances, so it didn't affect me. And on that note I'll take two green berries and one blue berry, as well as move to zone 13. Team: Luminix- Braixen (male) Lv. 24 Ability - Blaze Moves: Scratch, Flame Change, Psybeam, Fire Spin The Bag - Wormadam-Plant Cloak (female) Lv. 21 Ability - Anticipation Moves: Protect, Venoshock, Bug Bite, Hidden Power Sheldon - Wartortle (male) Lv. 25 Ability - Torrent Moves: Tackle, Bite, Bubble, Rock Smash Helium - Drifloon (female) Lv. 21 Ability - Unburden Moves: Minimize, Ominous Wind, Gust, Payback Lun - Absol (male) Lv. 24 Ability - Super Luck Moves: Shadow Claw, Rock Smash, Quick Attack, Bite |

Yay finally had time to get the second gym done! I will choose a blue berry and move to room 10
Also a quick note: you have me down as playing Renegade Platinum but I'm actually playing Emerald Curses: Spoiler:
Gym 2: Spoiler:
Team: Spoiler:

Second Gym in a row where Dewott had a type disadvantage. Oh well, it's not going to be around any longer due to the global rule. I decided that it would be a good idea to box my Golbat in exchange for a Braviary, a decision which I am now regretting due to that aforementioned rule. This gym was fairly difficult, since I didn't have any super-effective attacks against the Emolga.
Spoiler:
Anyway, I'm taking a red berry and I'm moving to Room 17 |
Spoiler: The rules as of now
Back at home, Aile got an Amulet Coin and a new belt for her Pokeballs from her mom. The Amulet Coin looks normal, but the belt already has six Pokeballs attached there with one of them containing a Sceptile plush (probably as a reminder of what Fracture Ray could've been). She moved all of her squad's Pokeballs to the new belt, except Quon's which got stuck in the old belt for whatever reasons. https://i.imgur.com/QQmlfIUm.jpg And then someone knocked on the door. Turned out that Singularity had returned. He expressed his interest to rejoin Aile's gang, then went into the Sceptile plush Pokeball despite a mysterious someone (or something?) telling them that whoever occupying that Pokeball can no longer battle. Singularity shrugged it anyway, knowing that he wanted to be there as a surfer boy instead of a battler. That being settled, Aile separated Singularity's Pokeball from the rest, put it in one of her bag's pocket where Grievous Lady's Pokeball is in (Aile had been taking Grievous Lady with her for quite some time), and moved on. During her trip, the girl did a bazillion of things. She helped Wattson to shut down New Mauville's generator, battled trainers here and there, dealt with more of Team Aqua shenanigans at the Weather Institute and Mt. Pyre, had some shopping spree at Lilycove Department Store, and explored the abandoned ship (originally S.S. Cactus) at Route 108. Again, the catchathon and evolutions were unavoidable during the whole adventure: Spoiler: Catchathon
Spoiler: Evolution
Aile eventually made her way to Fortree City where she fought the gym leader, Winona. Unlike her battle with Mr. Dad Norman though, Ether Strike and Afterburn had to sit this one out because Red and Blue practically OHKOed both Winona's Tropius and Altaria, Flyburg easily took on Winona's Swablu, and Trappola shocked both Winona's Pelipper and Skarmory big time. https://i.imgur.com/Ut4715Gm.jpg Spoiler: Aile's squad as of now (in no particular order)
Spoiler: The cursed ones
Since blue berries aren't that tasty (mainly because two of them = literal Nuzlocke), I'd like to have a red berry and go downstairs. And sorry for the weird story fluff about my latest curse and HM buddies, I just can't think of a better Halloween-related one. |

I’ll edit in more details later but for now:
Defeated Falkner with Zag the Zubat, and also added Gale the Ghastly (and best ghost friend) to my team! Update (more detailed edition): Trick or Treat Challenge Part 1 Rules: Starter lock hex - Your Starter can no longer be used. Rectangular Force (GLOBAL RULE) - All Pokémon except Ghost, Dark and Poison-types are banned from now on Ghostly Adventure (GLOBAL RULE) - Catch a Ghost-type (even if you already have one) as soon as possible. It must stay on your team for the rest of the game. It's also your best friend from now on. Making Frankenstein (GLOBAL RULE) - Your team must be composed with Pokémon with different primary types if possible from now on. Zombieland (GLOBAL RULE) - All of your forcefully boxed Pokémon are revived as zombies. They can only use physical contact moves and are immune to the curse that boxed them. But you can't in any circumstances use them on the same team as your current Pokémon. I took a while to get started and a bunch of global rules popped up! (Though I guess Frankenstein rule doesn’t apply since I just started and never boxed anything!) Anyway, I start off venturing over to Prof. Elm’s lab. He let me pick out my very own Pokémon! So I chose Scorch the Cyndaquil. Too bad I won’t get to use him for very long :( I go off to Mr. Pokémon’s house to pick up an Egg, and also got my very own Pokédex from Prof. Oak! On the way back I ran into some jerk in Cherrygrove City who apparently stole a Pokémon (seriously not cool! I was also boring and just named him Silver). After delivering the Egg I was off on my journey, traveling the routes beyond Cherrygrove City. Due to the Rectangular Force rule, my Pokémon selection was limited. So I went to the incredibly Dark Cave and caught Zag the Zubat! After arriving in Violet City, I proceeded to Sprout Tower where I met my best friend ghost, Gale the Gastly! Afterwards, I went back to Route 31 and caught Sai the Spinarak and Leaf the Bellsprout! Zag was really the only one that could take on Falkner (Sai and Leaf would be weak to Flying types and Gale wouldn’t be able to attack with Ghost moves) so I then leveled up Zag until it learned Astonish at level 9 and went back to take on Sprout Tower. Got Zag to level 13 to learn Bite and defeated the Elder to get Flash TM. I went straight to the gym and with a combo of Bite and Supersonic from Zag (and a few potions to heal against Pidgeotto) I took down Falkner! Current Team: https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/3/39/Spr_4p_041_m.png Zag ♂ Lv. 15 - Leech Life - Astonish - Bite https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/9/9f/Spr_4h_092.png Gale ♀ Lv. 8 - Hypnosis - Lick - Spite https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/8/83/Spr_4h_069.png Leaf ♂ Lv. 3 - Vine Whip https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/9/91/Spr_4h_167.png Sai ♂ Lv. 4 - Poison Sting - String Shot I’ll go to room 11 and take a green berry please! |
