The Nuzlocke Challenge

Not open for further replies.
Um just a quick question, with the one Pokemon in each area rule, does that mean the first one you see after you get Pokeballs or does it mean if you catch one Pokemon in the area you can't catch another

It's kind of both, some people just start the rule after they get the Pokeballs.

But the traditional rule is if you successfully catch a Pokemon, no second Pokemon at all, even if you fail to catch it for any reason other than game corruption, too bad. Does that answer your question? If you need anymore help, don't hesitate to ask me.

Anyways, I'll probably post my ending team for Black 2 even though I never signed up here, it was a personal nuzlocke, but I'll post my ending team here. I'm in Castelia Sewers now. :):)

Well hey there guys, haven't posted here in a while, but why not come back by advertising not one but TWO video Nuzlocke runs I'm doing! So exciting amirite?!

Anyway, here's episode 1 of both of them! Hope you guys enjoy, or at least don't despise completely and all that cool stuff. If you gots any criticisms, well, that's cool too I GUESS

Pokemon Engrish Emerald:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvVyQmllGH4

Yeah, that's right, didn't expect there to be an Engrish Emerald now did ya?! Well we randomly stumbled upon it and figured "hey les nuzlocke it cuz no onez ever done an emerald nuzlocke hehehehe". But hey, at least it's original in the sense that it's terribly translated?!

Pokemon Vietnamese Crystal:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mp-8bbWiBQQ

Yeah, this game's been done before, but my friend, Doubletroubeify, wanted to do a terribly translated Pokemon game, and Zyrtec (the other guy Engrish Emerald) already took that one, so I was like "HEY WHY NOT". So ya, not much to say, so I'll stop saying things!

Both runs follow these rules:

Mandatory Rules:
1. If a Pokemon faints, you must release it as soon as possible.
2. If all your Pokemon faint, you must start over. But we're not gonna start over, we'll probably just give up and never do anything ever again.
3. You must nickname every Pokemon you catch.
4. You may only attempt to capture the first Pokemon you encounter in each area, route, cave, city, etc. If you don't catch it, tough ****.

Optional Rules:
1. You may not use any healing items (Revive, Antidotes, etc.)

Oh yeah and if you guys end up being interested in our runs (LOL YEAH OKAY), we also have finished nuzlocke runs of Engrish Green (lol too many terribly translated games ftw?) and this one really really really unfair hack, Pokemon Snakewood.

Thanks for your time and all that really appreciative stuff!
 
UPDATE NO.2

NB: Very quickly before I start, I should mention that I have changed the battle style to SET. I know it's optional but it makes the challenge that much more fun.

Spoiler:
 
Another update incoming! I only managed to get the third Gym in this one, since things were starting to get a little lengthy, and I thought I'd update here before I actually took the next Gym on. I'll probably try for two Gyms in the next update, or even three, considering there isn't much now between Flannery, Norman and Winona. (though if I recall correctly, there is New Mauville-- or whatever the Generator place is called)

-Headed down to the game corner
-Bought two Abras
-Trained one up to level 32
-Fought through the rocket base
-Fought Giovanni
BOSS FIGHT:
I went into the battle confident my Kadabra could sweep his team. With a little Psychic, Giovanni's Onix and Ryhorn wouldn't be bothering us again. Against my better judgement, I decided Psychic could probably take out the Kangaskhan...It sent it's health down into the red zone, but with one Mega Punch, Kadabra had fallen. I sent Hades to finish him off, and hopefully Giovanni too. Hades burnt the Kangaskhan to a crisp, while at the same time using a powerful flamethrower to bring the Rocket Hideout to the ground. He used fly to take us through the flames, heading toward the game corner stairs. I called him into his pokeball and hit the switch to the stairway. Hopefully the game corner structure can hold with the oven under it. I told everyone to evacuate just in case. I watched from outside to see if Giovanni was coming out. After about 6 hours I decided that he was dead. I headed to the Pokemon Tower to bury Kadabra.

Next time: Rival and Pokemon Tower
