Pokemon Pearl Nuzlocke

Update 1

Name: Toru (Furuya)
Rival: Shuichi (Ikeda)
Starter: Char ♂ the Chimchar, Modest

-Lila Milla evolved to Kricketune on Route 204

Nothing much happened as I haven't "played" much. At least story wise. I spent some time training my team to their 10s. I really didn't have any luck as I encountered Starly when I had no Poke Balls, so I have Bidoof on my team now. Why did they have to make it so bad. Rattata and Zigzagoon were way better. Or maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, since it's hard to train, it'll end up as a PokeShield or get boxed really soon.

I'm currently in Jublife City. I gave the Parcel to Shuichi and defeated some brats at the school. I also defeated some trainers on route 204. My team is now ready to proceed I guess. I had the luck to lose once against the first Youngster. Had to restart the whole game because of his weak Starly. If only I didn't train that Bidoof. I switched Char and Starly got a critical on it. Since it's a no items run, that was pretty bad.

Update 5

I trained up in the outer areas of Pinwheel Forest, till i knew i was strong enough to defeat Lenora without any hassles but unfortunately nothing really goes my way and Pyro died but luckily I did not really care. I battled team Plasma in Pinwheel Forest, then took the unnecessarily long trip along the Skyarrow Bridge then arrived at Castelia City healed my Pokemon, reunited the three dancers and went forward to Route 4 caught a Sandile and nicknamed it Snappy. I trained my Pokemon a little bit and defeated team Plasma, and got my third badge. Both my rivals then asked me to battle and I defeated both of them with no casualties to my team and traveled to the desert Resort and caught a Darumaka nicknamed it Hothead. Battled some trainers and Splinter and Snappy evolved journeyed to Nimbasa City battled all the trainers in the gym and saved it before elesa.

Thoughts as of yet.
Finally I have some good Pokemon Splinter, Snappy and WhamShell are pretty good they are destroying everyone, I honestly have hardly used Hothead but his attack stat looks quite impressive So I'm excited to see how it goes.[/QUOTE]

I gotta be more consistent with these updates! Anyway, here are the latest episodes:

Engrish Emerald:
Episode 15:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6Fqu_Tv3L8

Episode 16:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKUBZMDilsA

Things are really starting to get intense here, hopefully we'll survive Norman, but you know we probably won't!

Vietnamese Crystal:
Episode 15:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ysMnJefLSk

Episode 16:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDP-cTWwJU4

Somewhat filler episodes, but hopefully it'll be the deciding factor that keeps us from getting completely massacred later on!

Not too much to report. In middle of training team for Blaine. All ready have the key for the gym so its just a matter of getting the team ready. Ember took down the Articuno in two hits were headed to the Power Plant to take down Zapdos now as part of training. Tintin was a loss after I caught him on Route 21 I lost him shortly afterwards in the Mansion. That's also where I lost Ella.

Ember the Charmeleon Lv. 45
Alex the Aerodactyl Lv. 30
Hank the Hypno Lv. 31

Mashini the Magnimite (SHINY!)

ETA: A quick update to add this. So I was playing through the Power Plant and a Magnemite pop's up. No big deal. Just a Magnemite right? Than I hear a twinkle and I notice a fading yellow star. I take a closer look at it and my jaw drops. It wasn't just any Magnemite. It was a SHINY Magnemite. To say the least this guy is getting stuffed in the Box so I can't lose him despite every fiber of my being saying to use him and I am now researching a way to transfer him to my main game from a Rom.

Pokemon Pearl Nuzlocke

Update 2

-Shuichi easily defeated
-Char evolves to Monferno on Route 203
-Roark defeated by Char (Lv. 15, Mach Punch spam) & Reccoa (Lv. 15, Magnitude spam)

Spent ~2 hours grinding in Oreburgh Mine until I got Reccoa to Lv. 15, and then I wanted to train the others to Lv. 15, but since Char evolved at Lv. 14 and learned Mach Punch, I saw no need to train others as Char and Reccoa would be the only ones to do something against Roark. Thankfully I got Rock Smash so Reccoa had easy time beating other Geodudes and Onyxes. But it nearly got killed by an Onyx who used Bind while Reccoa had only 8 HP. Thankfully she was freed at 2 HP.

If I'm not mistaken, the next gym uses Grass Pokemon, so I'll be safe I guess. With Lila Milla and Char, losing is not an option!

Well I did it. I took a HUGE risk by taking an underleveled team in for the Elite Four Challenge. But with the use of thinking and items they all fell to my team.

I'll be starting up my SS playthrough soon though that will take longer since I am writing a story to accompany it. Also plan for me to do a Nuzlocke through Leaf Green again at a later point for said story along with it.

So here's a new app for the rest of my Nuzlockes:

Update 6

Ok I'm sorry this update is going to summaries a bit and really badly cause i can not remember when certain Pokemon died or in which order i caught some Pokemon. I battled Elesa and defeated her first two Emolgas with Snappy and Splinter but they were low on health cause god those things were quick and irritating. So i had to fight her Zebstrika with WhamShell, he was going to win but that lucky Zebra got a critical hit. I then sent out Snappy and the zebra killed him as well, lucky splinter held out for me and i won the badge. I then healed up what little Pokemon i had left and ventured off thinking **** i will die pretty soon. I journeyed on and battled those two preschoolers with Cheren, kind of unfair battling preschoolers but whatever. I did that and then got the Bridge lowered, I needed a new Pokemon specifically a water type so i caught a Ducklett and named it Taylor, cause Taylor Swift and B.O.B both of us was playing and i like the name taylor. When I arrived at Driftveil i went down to the cold storage and i caught a Vanillite and i named it Vanilla. I defeated team Plasma battled Clay for my badge and won with no causalities, with some help from Vanilla. I then went to route 6 and caught a Deerling and named it bambi cause it seemed kind of obvious. I then cleared the way to Chargestone cave caught a klink and named it Sterling. I saved the game and stoped playing till right now. Also sorry some where in the middle of all that Hothead evolved.

Thoughts as of yet.
Well since 50% of my team was wiped out in one battle so I decided to catch everything i saw till my team filled up which is good because interestingly enough the Pokemon i caught are all Pokemon i have never actually used any of them before which is quite good i have used the Timburr line a little but never this much so this is basically a clean slate team for me which is exciting.

Finally, I have had time to progress on this challenge. Not a huge update though. But, on a side note, there was no deaths this update! I need a fire type DESPERATELY. I screwed up one of my few chances for a fire type at pokemon mansion.
  • Spikey pretty much took care of Koga's gym with pin missile against the psychic types and shock wave against the poison types. Plant was switched in when ever there was a koffing/wheezing (I have a fear of selfdestruct)
  • Went to route 21, started surfing, and bypassed most trainers
  • Arrived at Cinnabar Island
  • Revived Omanyte from helix fossil (I wanted a kabutos)
  • Killed a growlithe I was trying to catch (Swimmy's body slam scored a crit on it. Needless to say, I was mad.)

Aside from me screwing up catching a growlithe, this was a good update. Hooray for no deaths! My next update should land me at the E4.
