  • Nuzlocke Crystal

    I will be playing in Crystal. The rules I will be using are:
    1. If a Pokemon Faints, its dead, release it.
    2. No Healing Outside of battle (optional)
    3. You can only catch/recieve one Pokemon in each Area. A town is one area, a route is one area, a cave is one area, etc. Should you fail to catch a Pokemon for any reason (other than game corruption) than too bad.
    4. You must nickname all of your Pokemon (optional, but highly reccomended)
    5. No catching legendaries.
    6. Trading is disallowed, but the reasons following this clause are allowed. Egg trading is okay, same thing with Pokemon that can't have eggs. (optional) Trading simply for the purpose of evolution is perfectly OK.
    7. Change the battle style to SET. (optional)
    8. Make Comics whenever something amazing happens. (optional, but still reccomended :I)


    Also, I'm not /really/ starting the challenge until after I can actually start catching Pokemon.
    Woo! Can't wait!!

    A question: as far as having to catch the first Pokemon you see, does it have to be the very first Pokemon, or the first new one?

  • All right guys, I'm finally back and ready for updates. I would've updated more but winter vacation came and I went out a lot leaving little access to my Nuzlocke game. I have been able to get quite a bit of stuff done since I came back. Another thing is that I've decided to can it with the story telling and just give summaries of what happened, but through the personalities of my current Pokemon team.

    Team:

    As of right now, the comments by some of the team are a bit dull because I haven't developed full-fledged personalities for a few of them yet. But I hope you like them.

  • All right, I went a little overboard about moving on in the game. I'm so much farther ahead than my last update and I haven't given any updates in between so I only have this much to give you. It's post-8th Gym and the following rival battle.

    Team:
    Spoiler:


    The Fallen:
    Spoiler:

    As you can see, I've lost one member of the team. Diggy was awesome, even when he first joined the team. He had solo'd the entire Vermilion Gym. From there, he could take on almost anything thrown at him. He proved his power time and time again... Until the 8th gym leader, Giovanni. I thought I had the upper hand there, but his final Rhyhorn was quicker than Diggy... I got beaten to the Earthquake and he went down in one hit. RIP Diggy, we'll always remember you. :'(

  • Going to Nuzlocke Silver. I did up to the Elite Four on my laptop, but now I'm too lazy to finish that. I'd rather start over on my desktop.

    I'll be streaming it at www.livestream.com/myrrhman if anyone wants to tune in! I'll be playing for about an hour and a half starting now!

    Edited for great Justice: Done! Nobody died until Red's Blastoise (He also had Charizard in reserve) where Kadabra, Krabby, Seaking, Spearow, and Weepinbell all died. But luckily, he missed Weepinbell with Blizzard, and it got a couple flashes off before it fainted. Graveler came in and finished him off, and the Charizard that came afterwards.

    That's basically my team. Early on, I used Bellsprout and Cyndaquil, but quickly dropped them and just used these two. Too bad you have to trade to evolve these guys.

  • I love the Nuzlocke Challenge. I did one on Black with the basic rules plus nicknaming, and I managed to get through with just one death. Now I'm doing it in Platinum and so far I'm doing alright, with two bagdes and zero deaths.

    I also write for my Nuzlockes, a one-shot for Black and a multi-chapter Zombie-filled epic for Platinum.

    I just want to ask, can you participate with Pokemon Yellow? Even though the Pikachu can't be released it CAN be boxed so could I just box it and never use it?
