    So I just finished Blaze Black randomizer nuzlocke on my channel and man is this game a pain to complete lol, I decided to go all the way to Cynthia and beat her as the final challenge (without Nuzlocke rules because I chose to officially end nuzlocke with champion battle)- I had a lot and I really mean a lot of deaths in this game and it was a pain to complete, but I did it and I can finally say that I've beaten a Drayano hack and that's a lot xD

    Oh and I also completed this right before new years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L6qYpeU68w&list=PL9uTqoQc8K78EKchQZqwlwMdtj5Xlx1GK

    I used online red randomizer but I randomized movesets as well so that I had an extra challenge - also had a lot of deaths because of that since anything could have fissure, sheer cold or explosion or self destruct or anything like that lol

    Alakazam is so stupidly OP it's hilarious. You know the game's unbalanced when the designers introduced two whole new types so that a single Pokemon couldn't sweep the Elite Four simply by mashing A.

  • I'm going to have to drop out of my challenge. My game keeps getting glitches that loses me a good amount of game play if i forget to save often. Starting to get frustrating :( I'll try again on another game when i'm feeling less disheartened

    So I'm discontinuing the Pokemon Godra fan-game challenge, as I can't progress much further anyway because that fan game was incomplete and I'm not sure I want to retry it in the new remastered Godra yet. Time to return to Kanto with the new Pokemon 807 patch randomized!

    Username: Phantomness
    Game: Fire Red with the 807 patch
    Additional Rules: Rival keeps starter throughout the game, similar strength in trainers and wild pokemon, no legendaries for myself or other trainers, starters are 3-stages (that one seemed to glitch however...), enable National Dex at start

    Randomized Nuzlocke in Pokémon Fire Red

    LOG

    Okay, I probably should post sign-up earlier, but I finished my randomized Nuzlocke run in Fire Red.

    I decided to do another Randomized Nuzlocke after several years and it was fun. Regular Nuzlockes in Kanto are quite boring and bland, but randomizing few things made this probably the best Kanto run I had in a while. Starters were Grovyle, Wailmer and Slakoth and I chose Grovyle after a lot of deciding between it and Slakoth. But I've used Slakoth recently, so Hoenn starter it was. And right on the Route 1 I found Blaziken and then found Swampert and another Treecko and Combusken and Mudkip. The whole Kanto was infested with Hoenn starters. But most of them weren't my first encounters on their Routes.

    Aside from that, this run was pretty good. I caught Wobuffet on Route 1 and won 1st 3 badges just with it. But then I decided to box it because training it was really painful. I love using Wobuffet, but I would win this run within minutes with it. There weren't really any problems and randomized teams made it interesting. But it also made it laughably easy. Lance had Pichu on his team.

    As for the death for the run, there were several of them. Magnemite was 1st one. I caught it and it literally died in its 1st battle to a crit. Then Smoochum, my replacement for Wobuffet, died in the Lavender Tower. My starter Grovyle fell victim to the stupidest moment in the whole run. It was night, I was tired, but wanted to get through the Silph Co., when I stopped paying attention and used Quick Attack several times against Misdreavus and proceed to die to Curse. That was fun. I'm not sure when exactly Beautifly died, but it was somewhere around Blaine battle. I'm not sure if it was against one of the trainers in the Gym or Blaine himself, but it was devastating. And finally, Golem. It happened during fight with Lorelei. I grinded my whole team to level 60 just to be sure I'm prepared, but it wasn't enough and Lorelei's Glalie evaded Ancient Power and OHKO'd Golem with a Blizzard.

    So overall I enjoyed this run. The RNG really screwed me few times, for example I got paralyzed for 5 turns straight and then my attacked missed. And this is one of the better examples. But Kanto was fun for once.

    So, here's Hall of Fame:

    Starters turned out to be Ditto, Nuzleaf and Dustox so I went with Astro the Dustox and grinded just a bit before facing May. Beat may easily since she only had a Ditto haha. Chaught Oscar the Swinub on route 101, Peggy the Pidgey on route 103 and Rias the Ralts on route 102. Grinded everyone to level 7. Oscar had a TM for SolarBeam on him that anyone could learn so I taught it to Rias(It was TM44 normally Rest so ofcourse anyone could learn it). Then Rias died to a Pichu of all things oh my god. Wally ended up catching a Lombre using Norman's Plusle haha. Chaught Steve the Weedle on route 104 and Duchess the Shuppet in the Forrest. Found a LUCKY EGG in a hidden loot area so thats nice. Got everyone to level 10 and got to Rustboro then saved.
