The Nuzlocke Challenge Thread [R/S/E]

[hack1]

Brawly killed my team... Can I start on Fire Red?

 

[RaveSage]

nice! just when i was getting bored of monotypes, there suddenly is this awesome concept! :D
i'll start on ruby! x)

so far i've:

threw a die and picked torchic (this is the first time i ever use torchic so it'll be interesting)
and yeah… more to come :P​

EDIT: I got up to Roxanne and whited out… T_T

anyways, I started with a Mudkip this time (so hopefully that'll help :\)
and upon reaching route 102 the first Pokémon I ran into was Ralts!!! (which made me jolt and hit my head on the roof from my bunk), I caught it, and two Zigzagoons after that I ran into a Surskit!!! (… I don't know about you guys, but this is only second time I ever run into one this early, and it's freaking cool!)… so I caught it, and as of now it is sitting in a box in my PC which I named PURGATRY (purgatory… ¬¬)… and I was wondering if it was cool if I used it? :]

I'll leave it in PURGATRY until I hear from you, just keep in mind that it isn't a nice place to be in!… it's not bad, but it's not good either :| :P

QUESTIONS:

1.) May I use Surskit as an exception even though I caught it in the same route after Ralts?
2.) Can we catch Pokémon in the 'area' of route 104 after the Petalburg Woods? (I haven't gotten the items behind the Flower Shop just because I don't know if I can catch them or not :\)​

Nope, rules state you can only catch the first one you find. Since you already caught it you can just keep it there if you want and just not use it.

No, different areas of the same route are still the same route. This extends even to the desert area of Route 111, diffrent floors in caves, all that jazz.

Will edit in new challengers after I'm off work. Also, I found a Super Hard set of Nuzlocke rules made by Dracoyoshi8 of Smogon. I'll quote it in the OP later as well. Once I finish with Moemon Emerald I'll be doing Draco's Nuzlocke (I call it Dracolocke.) in some other pokemon hack. Most likely one that's been competed here on PC so any suggestions for which one I should use would be good (other than Quartz!). :)

Also, is anyone interested in making add-ons? We could really use some.

No certain losses. But...
On my Rt. 104 and Petalburg Woods Encounters I got ...

And

And killed them for XP. >.<
Stocked up on PokeBalls ...

Spoiler:

I once got into trouble with a wild Wurmple (I am a bug magnet) which poisoned me with Poison Sting. I was in Petalburg Woods with Bijefkrab poisoned and no Antidotes. Then, he used Shed Skin and saved himself ...
THAT WAS CLOSE !! xD
Now I saved in Petalburg. Next update coming soon !

UPDATE 3

Doom happens.
For pictures, see lower part ! Also have DSi change to contain text.
Okay. So things were OK. No particular horrors, criticals, misses.
The worst thing was when the youngster on the beach lowered Bijefkrab to 5 HP with Bide and Olekarula to 1 HP with his Taillow. I managed to heal, but ...
BIJEFKRAB DIED !!!
Against the rich boy's Zigzagoon. Critical Tackle with Tail Whip was enough to get him down.
Okay, I had Boijderih as backup and grinded. Still haven't done Petalburg.

+++++++++
BIG UPDATE
+++++++++

No photos this time ! :(
Okay, so I rese, fell and rose again ...
I've done Petalburg Woods and beat anything in my way. BOIJDERIH even evolved into Beautifly and learned Absorb for PWNing Roxanne. I found a Nincada I killed on Rt. 116 and, thus, missed my chance. I got a Whismur in Rusturf Tunnel and deposited it. I named it HATE U because it almot killed OLEKARULA with a critical Uproar.
I was confident that, befor attempting Roxanne, I should grind carefully to make Olekarula evolve into Combusken and Boijderih to learn Absorb. And so I did. And I challenged the gym ...

BOSS BATTLE vs. ROXANNE - Rock type Gym Leader !

Spoiler:

I began the fight with Boijderih attempting to use Absorb on her Geodude. He remained with 1/5 of its HP, then used Rock Tomb which landed critical and killed darlinng Boijderih ... :( :(
Of course Olekarula then beat Roxanne ruthlessly... at least to avenge Boijderih ...

BOSS BATTLE - WON !!
Losses : Boijderih the Beautifly...

Out of desperation, I took the backup Whismur and it died in the 1st battle !;_;. And so, I kept going to beat Team Magma in Rusturf Tunnel, then headed for Dewford. I caught a Magikarp with an Old Rod in Dewford itself, and accidentaly forgot to nickname it. It lulls around in my box for now !
On Rt. 106 I caaught a Tentacool which poisoned my Olekarula. NO big DMG, I was close to the PC anyways. Decided to use it, nicknamed PSN DUDE. (she's a girl, I'll rename her PSN LASS !).
In Granite Cave, I caught the diseaseous, annoying, and always-present ... ZUBAT ! Also forgot to give a nickname (lol, I should be more patient) and grew PSN DUDE from Lv. 8 to ... Lv.9.
Grinding to be continued, then to attemtp Brawly !

You can "accidently" kill them I guess :)

This sounds like a great idea. A more realistic and difficult Pokémon challenge? Of course I'll have a go.

[mondays suck]

Just a day or two after the inglorious end of my Ultimate Stantler Solo Nuzlocke, I'm already ready to try something new. In Nuzlocke mode, of course.
I was going to do a hack called Pokemon Crystal World, but I'm more in a 3rd gen. mood now, therefore I'm going to play Pokemon Mystical version instead, a Ruby hack. I haven't even seen anything of this up to now, so this is going to be a totally blind run.
Let's see how this turns out.

Wait, rules.
>Faint=Death
>Only first Pokemon in new area
>Set mode

Yes, just the two basic rules and set mode. Anything else would be suicide. In Brown I already knew half of the game, here I don't know anything.


Edit: argh, I already had finished my first update, but the database error screwed me over. So, tomorrow instead.

[mondays suck]

Here's yesterday evening's update. I had to find all the screenshots on photobucket again because stupid MS Word saved the pictures, not the [img ] stuff...

Spoiler:

(for some reason I lost the screenshot of the title screen. It shows a Deoxyis. I had almost forgotten about that thing's existence.

Spanish! I'm going to die.

Options are still the same though.

Wait, isn't this a ruby hack?
But, at least I did actually understand this sentence.

So Larvitar takes this spot in this game....

I had to look this up in a dictionary. And I don't even know whether this is plural (which I hope) or not. Yeah, I suck at spanish.

I don't start in a bedroom, I start in a cave. Pretty unexpected. And my sprite looks gaaaay, all light blue and pink

But, I don't even have Pokemon yet... Or is this thing going to be my starter...?

Oh, so it was a dream.

It's still there, and it's even still called Potion.

Necross? This includes "necro", so I'm thinking even more that I'm going to die soon in this run now...

For some reason, I cannot enter this house.

No one there. Looks like I have to walk into some high grass first.

And I already don't know where to go...

This was the north, so I guess the east it is.

Yes, that's a Pikachu down there. Dammit, I don't want that as my starter, it's way too frail...

Wait, where did just that Larvitar come from? But, I'm ok with this.

Suddenly, a cave. Without an exit.
No wild Pokemon here, by the way.

Again, there were two ways to go. This was the west, and as you can see, it's blocked.

To the east, there's Deoxys. It flees. Already more annoying that all that Suicune stuff in Crystal.

There are still no stairs, and that triangle at the point where Oak was, also disappeared. But, now I can fight these rockets.

4th generation Pokemon. Again, unexpected.
By the way, these Rocket's (there were 3 of them) didn't have anything else than this. Only level 2 and 3 Shinxes, Kricketunes and a Drifloon.

This guy looks like some kind of boss, especially because the name sounds like it.

But, this was actually not much of a deal

Two ways to go, once again.
Which one will I choose? Next time.

The team at this point. Except that's not a team yet. And no, I didn't have a chance to nickname Larvitar yet. I don't even have the Pokedex yet ... at least I think so, because I don't understand much of the dialogue.

Well, the last Database error took quite a while (even after I went away for 30 minutes, it was still there...), so I almost forgot the stuff I did already.

Spoiler:

I missed it last time, but this time here it is: the title screen.

And I get out of the cave, just to get to a place that looks almost exactly like the one where the entrance was...except that it's a bit further north.

Next Town. Riolu? What?

I go back to Pueblo Necross, and have to find out Oak's lab is still empty. Damn.

The only way back was through grass, because the southern cave entrance had disappered. So, no Bidoof for me :(

There's no market in Pueblo Riolu, but this person apparenty serves as one instead.

This guy is a douche, he doesn't let me pass for some reason.

In the middle of Pueblo Riulo, there's this empty cave.

Looked through anything I already was again, and no Oak. So I guess I have to go to this route here.

May. Pretty easy, but when that thing evolves, it will be hell. Especially when Larvitar becomes a Tyranitar.

So, I enter that one cave again, and suddenly the entrance I just walked into is blocked. Also, the rockets are back, but don't fight.

Are you kidding me?
The same weak trainer again? Someone screwed the programming up I guess...

But, later, I finally found out where to continue: This old man gives out the Pokedex.

Next: That route south of Pueblo Riolu. If I'm guessing right, I will be able to buy Pokeballs now, and that scientist who blocked my way will have gone away.

Team didn't change much, except that Larvitar is now level 11. And still doesn't have a nickname...
