Tepig gets some nice moves and access to Flame Charge without TM. Can sweep without much effort. Gains a lot of common weaknesses when it evolves though (Fire/Fight).

Oshawatt (sp?) looks like a good choice too.

I am running Snivy on my B/W 2 game, and I am confused on whether it wants to be a special or physical attacker.

EDIT: You could also just not keep the starter once you've caught your first Pokemon. That's one of the optional rules :)

I *might* do a Nuzlocke in Black 2... Yet, I need a recommendation for my Starter choice.

Some people pick their starter by the last digit of their ID No. 1-3 is Grass, 4-6 is Fire, 7-9 is Water, 0 is your choice. Ever since Marriland did that in his Emerald Nuzlocke, i've always went by that method because I think it's a nice way of choosing your starter for you.

I picked Tepig.

Username: Digimon Kaiser
Game: Black 2
Optional Rules: Starter can't faint, avoid Pokemon that become Fairy-types in Kalos/Pokemon that evolve by trading. Nickname everything. Blackout means game over, And... the Dupes clause.
Just beat Hugh at Flocessy Ranch. Now to grind levels and look for the missing Herdier. My team is:

Pumbaa (Tepig lv 9)
Ellen (Patrat lv 2)
Bob (Sunkern lv 2)
Momo (Lillipup lv 5)

Unfortunately, my DS emulator is being a pain. I'll have to postpone my Platinum Nuzlocke (almost at 2 badges now) until an update/fix is up

This post is a question about my Platinum Nuzlocke (yes, the same one from New Years'). I just caught a Shiny (Hoothoot for what it's worth) and I'm unsure of the rules regarding Shinies. Do I have to figure those out myself?

If I have to choose, then I'll allow the Shiny to be used in battle. This Shiny has the privelage to be Revived once and only once, until it goes into the Box for good. I can DM if necessary.

Username: Dontstay96
Game: Platinum
Optional Rules:
You must nickname all of your Pokemon. (highly recommended)
You must change the battle style to SET.
You may not use legendary Pokémon. (I'll catch Giratina, but not use it, If one of my pokes faint in the catch, it will be boxed forever)
After the first wild Pokémon was caught, you must release your starter.
Bulbapedia rules:
Species/Dupes Clause: Adjusting the first encounter rule to ban duplicate captures.
As an extension, setting a limit on how much Dupes Clause can trigger in an area. If that limit is reached, no Pokémon can be caught in that area. (If the first encounter is a dupe I'll have another try, if the seccond encounter is a dupe too I won't catch any pokemon in that area, unless I want to catch the dupe, of course)
My Rules:
I won't use any gift pokemon (Riolu egg, Bebe's Eevee etc.).
I won't use Rotom.
OH, by the way does the challenge end when I defeat Cynthia?

- I started my game, named myself "Nuzlock" and my rival "Barry".
- Chose Piplup as a starter, named it Joe just to be boxed forever.
- Bought 10 poke balls
- Went to route 201, caught my first poke, a female Starly called Amy, boxed Joe the Piplup
- Trained till lvl 5
- Went to route 202 and caught a Bidoof, named him Goofy
- Trained him to lvl 5
- Got to Jubilife city
- Delivered the town map to the rival

I have to stop playing today, I'll play again tomorrow and start updating :)

Current Team:

Amy (Starly) Lvl 8
Goofy (Bidoof) Lvl 6

Decided to do a Biblical Nuzlocke myself. I haven't really thought of all the rules yet, and really, this is my third Nuzlocke of the same Game (as in, in one - two weeks I've done three nuzlockes, RIP my shiny Fletchling). Don't worry, I'm not a religious person, so I won't be throwing out religious beliefs and the like. This doesn't restrict itself to just one religion, so it should appeal to everyone, religious or otherwise.
