UPDATE POKEMON PLATINUM - DURSLEY ERA
Spoiler:
I started my journey for the first time in the potterlocke, choosing turtwig (Huffleluff) as my starter (Bowtruckle) and progressed through the first 2 routes. On route 201 I caught a starly (Ravenclaw)(Diricawl). On route 202 I caught a Shinx (Hufflepuff)(Nundu)

AMAZING TWIST!!!
Spoiler:
I actially had to progress twice as my ds died while I was going to the bathroom, and I hadn't saved since obtaining Bowtruckle. However, I am now at the same spot I was in, and all of my pokemon are the same, and in the same houses, as they were before. They just have different natures.

So, I'm in Oreburgh Gate and just had rock smash forced on me. Could a pokemon learn it before beating the first gym? Or could a pokemon that is not a hufflepuff learn it if they dont use it outside of battle?

You could catch an HM slave of some sorts. But you cannot use it in battle, box it after use.

"HM slaves are allowed ONLY if an HM is required to proceed and no Hufflepuff can learn it"

UPDATE PLATINUM- CHAMBER OF SECRETS

Spoiler:
On to Floaroma. I beat all of the battles effortlessly, until Mars. For her, I almost lost Nundo, and Bowtruckle, however, too my luck, Purugly's last attack missed and I won. I then proceeded to pass through Enterna Forest. IRRITATING!!! The only area so far that I could not catch a pokemon. All thanks to the wonderful Cheryl! :D D: She needs to learn not to attack the only pokemon left, that just so happened to be a Silcoon, that I would've enjoyed having. But all said and done, I move on to Enterna. I go to Gardenia, and wipe her entire gym, without leaving once, with just Diricawl.

Hey guys, welcome back to Catman's Randomizer Potterlocke! Last time we just beat the Striaton Gym and were about to catch a new Pokemon on Route 3. Let's get started!

Route 3
Spoiler:
Alright. I beat two kindergartners in a double battle and stole their lunch money, nd Cheren Marcellus wants to fight!
He sends out his starter, Manaphy, and I send out mine, Mavis. Marcellus spams Leaf Tornado and almost kills her, but I pull through. Next is Meditite. I send out Leia and OHKO it with Judgement. After I crush Marcellus, some Plasma Grunts Managers run past us with Bianca Lawrence right behind them. They stole a Pokemon, as expected. Marcellus goes ahead, but I go heal up and try to catch a new member for Hogwarts.
Our new recruit is... a Zekrom?! Obviously I didn't catch it, because it has a catch rate of 45. ;-;


Wellspring Cave
Spoiler:
Owned some Manager Grunts here, and I teamed up with Marcellus. After the failed Zekrom attempt, ;-; I lurk around to catch a new Pokemon. And here it is! It's a... Dustox?

Rusty (Dustox) joined the team!
  • Gender: Male
  • Level 11
  • House: Hufflepuff
  • Ability: Snow Cloak
  • Moves: Blaze Kick, Ice Ball

And I found TM29 Bonemerang!


Pinwheel Forest
Spoiler:

New Pokemon and boring grinding!

Chazz (Glaceon) joined the team!
  • Gender: Male
  • Level 13
  • House: Ravenclaw
  • Ability: Huge Power
  • Moves: Power Whip, Double Kick, Icy Wind, Hydro Cannon


Oh, and Bucky learned Luster Purge and Selfdestruct, and Mavis tried to learn Heat Crash. The last thing I need is for my star Pokemon to die due to my stupidity.


Nacrene City
Spoiler:
To the gym! N gets in my way though... He sends out a Mienfoo, I sent out Mavis and spammed Ice Beam. Then he sends out Bronzong, and I send out Bucky. Bucky takes it out with two Blaze Kicks. His final Pokemon is Dunsparce? Chazz owns it with Double Kick.


Nacrene Gym!
Spoiler:
Destroyed Lenora's nerd crew and descended to her bookcase hideout. Let's do this!


And apparently her new name is Florentino. Weird.

She sends out a Vulpix. I send out Leia and spammed Judgement, and killed the fox in two hits. Her final Pokemon is a Basculin. I switch out to Mavis and spam (as I usually do) Aura Sphere. Mavis almost died to this Pokemon twice, but we pulled through.

She gives me the Basic Badge and TM67 Poison Jab! Suddenly, Lenora's Florentino's husband runs in and tells her that Team Plasma is upstairs. She rushes out like Sonic the Hedgehog.


Alright then, I hope you enjoyed it and that you didn't fall asleep half way through it. Next time we'll go for the Insect Badge and hopefully not lose to many team members along the way. Speaking of team members...

Current Team!

Victory Post

Badges: 8
Deaths: 13

So my evening plans fell through, but that's good news for my Potterlocke. Of my previous team, Thalassa and Sycorax fell during the Champion fight but at least Sycorax took her Tyrantrum with him. (They of course came back for the AZ fight. Does that count as a resurrection?) All four survivors were from different Houses and all their namesakes orbit different planets.

Hall of Fame


Amalthea the Bold Pyroar, Lv 64
Ability: Unnerve
Moves: Crunch, Overheat, Flamethrower, Hyper Voice

Amalthea is a moon of Jupiter, the third closest out of seventeen moons.

Moves: Night Slash, Iron Head, Slash, Assurance

Deimos is the smaller of Mars' two moons.



Titan the Quirky Diggersby, Lv 59, Triwizard Champion
Ability: Cheek Pouch
Moves: Return, Super Fang, Earthquake, Power-Up Punch

Titan is the largest moon of Saturn and the second largest in the Solar System. It's larger than Mercury and Pluto.

Ability: Dark Aura
Item: King's Rock
Moves: Phantom Force, Oblivion Wing, Psychic, Dark Pulse

please rate the houses that aided you well in your journey in a 1-4 order
(one being the most helpful, and four being the lowest)
Okay, here goes.

1) Ravenclaw
You never know how important TMs are until you can't use them. Diggersby is not the best Pokemon but Return, Dig and Power-Up Punch helped Titan to survive the Triwizard Tournament and the Elite Four. Plus the only time I wanted to use Not Very Effective moves was trying to get a boost of Power-Up Punch.

2) Slytherin
Might not have been this high without Caliban and his usefulness. The level restriction was a drag for the early gyms (and especially during the quick succession of gyms 3, 4 and 5) but became less important at the later ones. Items are also handy.

3) Hufflepuff
Probably would have been higher in a different game but in XY the only HMs you need to complete the game are Surf, one dungeon of Strength and one use of Fly. And I love Surf but I missed Swords Dance. Hufflepuff also took the heaviest losses.

4) Gryffindor
Playing as though it was on SET mode I found way too tricky on a Nuzlocke, though managing to switch out for something that resisted or was immune to an attack was satisfying. Only Amalthea and Ophelia got much in the way of use from this house.

your posts are fine :) dont worry~
Well in that case... Welcome back to my Randomizer Potterlocke! Without further ado, let's get started!

Current Era - The Chamber of Secrets

Nacrene Gym
Spoiler:
Last time, we had a little Team Plasma Manager problem on our hands. I've just recieved the Basic Badge as well. So, I left the gym and headed to the museum, and Team Manager apparently stole a dragon skull, so naturally, the NPCs force me to get it back.


Pinwheel Forest
Spoiler:
Nothing of huge importance happened here. Battled some grunts, leveled up a little bit, found some items (A Relic Vase, a Burn Drive, a Luck Incense, and a Bright Powder, if you wanted to know). Got the skull back!


Route 4
Spoiler:
Okay, I know I skipped a few places, but I'm headed back eventually.
Well, it's time to catch a new recruit for the DA!

Hank (Heatmor) joined the team!
  • Gender: Male
  • Level 16
  • House: Gryffindor (Finally!)
  • Ability: Vital Spirit
  • Moves: Payback, Signal Beam, Power Split, Karate Chop


Castelia City
Spoiler:
Welcome to the jungle my friends! The modern jungle, that is. I wander around to find some trainers to crush, and I finally got Hank to level 20. To the gym! Is what I want to say, but the Managers are back. *sigh*

Apparently the Managers stole Bianca's Lawrence's Munna. After 10 minutes of talking, we get it back, and I can finally can challenge the gym!


Castelia Gym
Spoiler:
Man I love this music! GYM! I battle Burgh's lackeys and they're all a piece of cake, except for the one who had a Speed Boost Conkeldurr that killed Hank with a combination of Bubblebeam and Reversal! R.I.P Hank. ;-;

Honestly though, I never really got attached to him, so the funeral only lasted like 3.5 seconds.

Back to the gym. After the gym puzzle, I finally come face-to-face with Burgh. And because this is a randomizer, I have no idea which Pokemon he has. What could go wrong? XD


Wait a minute! His randomized name is the exact same as Chili's! Oh well, nothing I can do about it.

Now his first Pokemon is... a Dialga?! {D:}:|~_~ Um, okay then... sick 'em Mavis!
It's Sand Stream bility activates. I use Aura Sphere, he uses Amnesia. Next turn, he uses Amnesia again. Now he has +4 Sp. Def, which prolongs his imminent doom. I then start spamming Ice Beam and it starts spamming Sludge Bomb. I keep switching between Bucky and Mavis. It poisons Mavis eventually, and Mavis and Bucky are about to die, but the Mavis uses Ice Beam and freezes it! I heal up and take the thing out. Glad that's over.

His next Pokemon is Mewtwo. Great. ;-; I send out Chazz in Mavis's place. It OHKOs Chazz in one hit with Extrasensory. Their isn't enough time to heal up Bucky, but I had to buy time, so I send him out. Big mistake, apparently. Bucky takes an Extrasensory to the face and dies. Mavis takes over, and on the turn she's about to die due to poison and the sandstorm, she freezes it with Ice Beam! But Mavis is dead. My star. The main character. Is dead. ;-; Leia beats Burgh's Sonya's Graveler with Magical Leaf. He gives me the Incest Badge and TM76 Conversion.


After all that, Lawrence calls me on the X-Transiever and wants to battle, but I shut my laptop off before that could happen.
