Do you feel more people should get into Nuzlockes?

I well I posted it Yesterday,.. I just got to get it approved.... I hope it went through alright.... Unfortunately I did one short one by accident and had to make a new one I just hope they don't think it's spam and actually look at both. Only time will tell
Normally I would just private message you, but since you already posted here, might as well respond aha. Anyway, are you taking on the challenge as well? I didn't see any indication in your post and we do require that challenge hosts partake in the challenges they post as well, so I just want to make sure. I know sometimes people forget to include their sign up, so I figured I'd ask.

Of Course!, I will, for the most part I didn't want to clutter the Rules with My entry and I was getting ready to put in my own form underneath. I rather have someone ask me if I'm doing my own challenge and explain to make the main rules as clean as possible

Is the Route 1 challenge on here? I didn't see it when I was looking through and it is one of my favorites.
Nope. It's been inactive too long so they removed it. You can remake the whole challenge and post it so other people can do it too.

So I've started working on and off on a combined Monosize challenge where it'd be like any other monos but all within the same height or weight "class". I divvied up the classes myself and tried to make it so that I could get as close as I could to an even number of fully evolved mons in each. Here are the classes

Monoheight:
0.1-0.9m
1.0-1.2m
1.3-1.5m
1.6-1.9m
2.0-14.5m

Monoweight:
0-20.0kg
20.1-35.0kg
35.1-60.0kg
60.1-120.0kg
120.1-999.9kg

Most of my time has been put into making reference sheets, since it's hard to read which mons are in each class from the Bulbapedia pages. You can see the first 2 height class sheets here and here.

What do you guys think? Do you think people would play it? Also, can you think of any fun themes/ideas for what to name the classes? Thanks.

Hey ppl. I came up with Nuzlocke challenge called the Animelocke. I'm LPing it on my channel would like some feedback on the rules. Anything that could make it better. Thanks :D

Animelocke rules
1. Your starter Pokemon is the “Hero” (Think Rorouni Kenshin) of the story. Just like any good anime your hero should be with you throughout the story. So, you can NOT put your starter in the PC box. If your hero (starter) dies than your strongest leveled Pokemon MUST give up his life to revive your hero.
2. You can choice ONE Pokemon to be your “Hero Pokemon’s” rival. The “Rival Pokemon” (Think Saskue) can take your “Hero Pokemon” spot and become the Hero Pokemon. (I know sounds confusing) The Rival mon can only do that AFTER being with your party for 3 gyms.
3. Healing items (senzu bean) can only be used during MAJOR battles (Gym Leaders, Rivals, Evil Team bosses, Elite four) and outside of battles.
4. You must nickname every Pokémon you catch based off an anime reference.
5. Nuzlocke Clauses: These are additional rules. They are not mandatory.
6. Shiny Clause: If I encounter a shiny Pokémon I can catch it, even if it is not my first encounter.
7. Dupes and Species Clause: If you have already catch a Pokémon or any Pokémon it’s evolution line you do not have to catch it.

It's in the Challenge Log subforum. Here's a link, for good measure.

I'm thinking of reviving the Ultimate Gym Leader challenge. Unless Sydian wanna revive it? :3

It was one of my favorite challenge to do. So I would love to redo it once more. Anyone interested? This was the old post that died

I've been waiting for Necrum to make me a CSS so I could revive this for over a year. Momma Syd gave me the green light but if you wanna do it, go ahead :P


If you'd like to play with me, you better be sure you know the game.

I don't think the actual Nuzlocke thread is the best place to put this, so I'll put it here:

If anyone is interested, I am currently participating in a Nuzlocke competetion through r/Communitylocke2017. We're all playing through Emerald and collecting points via certain rules and whoever gets the most points at the end apparently recieves prizes. Thought it might be cool to get some of you seasoned challenge people in on the fun. My reddit username is Eflatmajor in case you see me over there.

Here is my idea:

Movie Genre Challenge

Overview: Do a play-through using a team themed after a genre of the latest movie you watched in the movie theatre.

Challenge rules:
- If the first Pokemon on your team is not found early in the game, then you can use your starter until you find the first member of your team.
- HM slaves are allowed only if necessary

Your team must have a certain theme to one of the following movie genres:
- Sci-fi: Any Pokemon that is based on machines, artificial intelligence, and extraterrestrial life
- Horror: Any Pokemon that resembles ghosts, the undead, and giant monsters
- Crime/Gangster: Any Pokemon with a mobster-like motif (in both appearance and in Pokedex entries).
- Musical/Dance: Any Pokemon based on a dancer/singer or has a music motif
- Fantasy: Any Pokemon with a medieval motif (dragons, knights, archers, elves, dwarves, spell casters (mages), kings, queens, court jesters, etc.)
Completed Challenge(s):
Birth Date Challenge
Time Warp Challenge (Sci-Fi) (Black 2)
Reborn! Dying Will Flame Challenge (Lightning/Varia) (Black 2)

Current Challenge(s)
Gender Fairness Challenge (Black 2)

Ongoing Challenges On hold
Game of Throne Challenge (Baratheon) ((Black 2))

That's actually pretty nice idea, but I would do it not on last movie you saw in theatre, but overall on movie of player's choice.

Also, maybe it would be interesting idea to ban some types in different genres.

Well, if we were to use the type restriction/ban for this challenge, the some Pokémon won't fit each of the film genres. The idea is to use a Pokémon on the team that has a specific theme/motif to one movie genre. For example, gardevoir is based on a dancer and would go well with the musical/dance film genre. But, since gardevoir is part psychic and fairy type, then it won't fit the science fiction film genre because of its fairy type (fairy types represents magic in general and science fiction often dominates over magic).

It would be cool to have a challenge using animal classes, plus other categories that don't fit in them. For example:

Mammals, Reptiles, Birds, Fish & Amphibians, Arthropoda & Other Invertebrates, Plants & Fungi aaaand Inorganic.

Amphibians and Fish are together cause there are few amphibians, and fish usually can't be caught early in the games. Plants and Fungi are together because there are few fungi.
Human-like Pokémon could be considered Mammals, or could form another group.

Each class would have a list of Pokémon allowed. I think it would be fun.

^ I think that used to be a challenge years ago, but no one's made it since. If you want, you should write it up and submit it. :)

How about a dual type stackup challenge.It will be much like the monotype challenge but here you'll have to choose two types instead of one and you can either stackup pokemons having both types or take pokemon having any one type amongst the two if it's a single type pokemon. If you guys like the idea, I'll make the challenge thread tonight.

hasnt been an event since last halloween. i mean before that we had the anniversary, the resolution one and one for halloween the previous year (2015)

i mean i don't want to nag but i enjoy these challenges that are more unique than "use one type of pokemon" or "use one pokemon" or "you are restricted based on a house you choose from a show half of you probably havent seen"

heck with easter coming up now's as good a time as any

I had an event I was planning with some mods of another area here to do as a sort of collab, but it ended up falling through because we were all just too busy at the time and never got the details ironed out. I have been thinking about getting back with them on it recently though. I'm well aware we haven't had an event in a long time and I'd like to change that. And even then, it doesn't necessarily have to be Easter oriented, though holidays are usually easy to plan around, haha.

I will try to get that collab going with the other mods if possible, but in the mean time, would anyone be interested in something like the Stadium Arcadium a few years ago? Where you complete tasks in-game to build points and such? Or would you guys prefer something along the typical format of playing through the whole game with certain restrictions? We're long overdue for an event and I will take full responsibility for it.
