The Nuzlocke Challenge

[xShadowx]

Alright well last time I was training Fallen and it evolve into Beautifly.
Well while training him McKenzy died, leaving me with just Fallen.
Battle the demons in Petalburg Forrest and lost.



So I restarted the challenge and re choose Koffing again. Did all the usual stuff, went up to the point where I lost. At this point my team was Zigzagoon,Poocheyena,Koffing, and Taillow.

Poocheyena died battling the first demon in the forrest. Koffing died in the outskirts of Rustboro, while Zigzagoon died in Rustoboro to the zombified Jynx.

Only pokemon left now is Taillow. I saved at the pokemon center.

Party:
Taillow (Nighthawk) Lv.12

Box:
None

Dead:
Koffing (Gassy) Lv.11
Zigzagoon (Zorro) Lv.14
Poochyena (Predator) Lv.10

Can I withdraw from my challenge?

 

[Yuoaman]

SO I STARTED A YELLOW NUZLOCKE LAST NIGHT AND I GOTTA BE FAST AND FINISH THIS POST BECAUSE IT'S SITTING THERE IN AN EMULATOR THROTTLING AT 1000% AND I GOTTA GO FAST.

Player: Yuoaman
Game: Yellow

SO I STARTED OUT, GOT MY PIKACHU AND DIDN'T NICKNAME IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE TIME FOR THAT AND I ALSO PRESSED THE 'B' BUTTON AND MISSED IT SO YOU WIN SOME YOU LOSE NICKNAMING RIGHTS I GUESS. THEN I WENT AHEAD, GOT TIM THE RATTATA IN THAT ROUTE WEST OF VIRIDIAN, 19223 OR WHATEVER IT'S CALLED. AND I THINK THAT'S ENOUGH CAPS. So I went on to Viridian Forest, because I knocked out the Nidoran that appeared in Route 2 by mistake, so I got a Metapod that I gave a rude name to, because I just turned nine years old. I grinded this Metapod into a Butterfree, so the nickname became a little ill-fitting, but I rolled with it.

I next caught a male Nidoran right before facing Brock and named it BADA-BING because bada-bing bada-boom he was Italian. Double Kick made Brock painfully easy and I moved on. In Route 3 I caught a Mankey named IMPROVED, because of an inside joke, and he only lasted a couple of battles because I guess BADA-BING is pretty intimidating. I caught a Zubat who I named NIGHTWING in Mt. Moon, so things were looking up for me...

But then of course I lost both Pikachu and NIGHTWING in quick succession as I neared the exit, which sucked. But I eventually got to Cerulean City, picking up a Spearow named Attacker on Route 4, who only lasted a few battles into grinding. I grabbed the free Charmander on Route 24 in the hopes that maybe I can have a flyer later on, but you never know.

And that's all that happened until I came to this thread and posted these words.

EDIT: MY TEAM, YO.

SMAUG the Charmander - Level 13

RUDE NAME the Butterfree - Level 18

TIM the Rattata - Level 18

BADA-BING the Nidorino - Level 19 - TEAM CAPTAIN

 

[xShadowx]

I DIED!!!!!!!!!!!

That's like what the 3rd time I died now. Perhaps its because I chose the female protagonist and a Koffing. Anywho I decided to give this one last and final time. So here's the update:

Restarted and THIS time chose the male character.
Got myself a Paras and named her Ms.Shroom
Trained Ms.Shroom and caught me a Zigzagoon named him Rufus.
Beat Alice and pretty much everyone else following Petalburg woods.

By the time I got to Petalburg woods, Rufus and Ms.Shroom were lv.17, so I easily beat the demons.

Reach Rustboro and beat Alice again and then fought Gleis where Ms.Shroom died.
Following the battle I caught a Taillow in the following Route and then caught a Whismur. I named them Rabai and Boombox respectively.
Help Gleis close the portal where the demons were coming from and now I saved in front of Pestilence.

Team:
Rufus aka Zigzagoon Lv.18
Rabai aka Taillow Lv.17
Boom Box aka Whismur Lv. 15

Dead:
Ms. Shroom aka Paras.

Update 3​

Hello again, it's time for my next update. I'm no longer playing on my Gameboy SP, because it's a real pain to play on it now. So it's back to my DS Lite.​

I begin by heading over to the S.S Anne, so I can get the Cut HM from the Captain. After a few battles aboard the ship, Geodude had the opportunity to learn Selfdestruct. Because I'm an idiot, I taught him the move. Then I realized that I'm doing a Nuzlocke run and if he uses the move he's dead. So basically if I want kill off Geodude I got the option to do so. ANYWAYS, back to my adventure aboard the S.S Anne. It didn't take long before Weed evolved into Gloom. He is still kind of weak since his only actual attack is Absorb. Soon after that, Aero evolved into Pidgeotto. That made me very happy, since I love the Pidgey evo line. A few battles later, I was up against my rival, Blue. Like all my battles with him, it ended up being very close. Most of my team ended up with very low health after the battle. After that I went up and rubbed the Captain's back. (The weirdest moment of all Pokemon games, in my opinion.) After giving him his back-rub, he rewarded me with Cut. I left the S.S. Anne and then watched the ship depart. I decided to visit Diglett's Cave to try and catch a Diglett. (My last Nuzlocke run, a Dugtrio greeted me as the first encounter in the cave, and I managed to catch it. It almost killed my team in the process.) The first encounter in the cave was, sadly, a lowly Diglett. I led with Nidorino and tried to weaken it so I could catch it, but the the thing was faster then Nidorino! It hit with a level 7 Magnitude and nearly OHKO'ed Nidorino! I freaked out, and decided to switch out Nidorino after his attack. I told him to use Double Kick and then first kick hit. It did moderate damage, but the Diglett should be able to take the next hit. Unfortunetly, the second hit was a critical hit. The Diglett was defeated. I was disappointed, but oh well. It happens. I proceded to Route 11 and caught an Ekans. I named the Ekans King, since he's will become a cobra when he evolves. Soon after catching King, I engaged in battle with a Youngster. His first Pokemon was taken out no problem by Aero, but he released a Raticate. Raticate. I hate this Pokemon with a passion in Nuzlocke runs. Because it knows Hyper Fang. Which it proceded to use against Aero. It was a critcal hit and a OHKO. Aero was killed. I quickly exacted my revenge with Geodude. He struck down with a Mega Punch and defeated Raticate. Geodude was rewarded with a level up. After the battle, Geodude evolved into the mighty Graveler.​

This is where I left off and saved the game. I like updating like this. It feels more rewarding then just making a bulleted list, even if it takes longer.​

[Yuoaman]

I might have lost because of VBA refusing to load the actual save I used, which sucks.

[mozartm99]

I'm done. I don't really like this type of playing.

 

[TopleyBird]

My First Nuzlocke ever.

Game: Emerald

Rules:

Battle Style: switch
Fainted pokemon are dead and must be released
A white out is a game over
Catch only the first pokemon in the area
You must nickname all your pokemon
Challenege begins when pokeballs are recieved
Dupes rule is off

Progress:

Started the adventure with Hollow Log the Mudkip who has been easily my most trusted member helping me defeat Roxanne. So far not one pokemon I have caught is capable of learning cut so I have simply ignored it as well as all that route 116 experience. If it gets to the point where I can't advance the story and still haven't found anything that can learn cut exceptions can be made, right? Arrived in Dewford Town and am about to go through Granite Cave before challenging the Dewford Gym.

Current Team:

Hollow Log the Mudkip L: 15
Trivium the Whismur L: 6
A.Dementia the Marill L: 11
Rusty Scar the Cascoon L: 9
Diamanda the Poochyena L: 9

Boxed:

Syncopy the Cascoon L: 7 (Caught two early wurmples and kept my fingers crossed they would turn into beautifly and dustox respectively)
Quartz the Poochyena L: 6

Dead:

Cacophony the Whismur L: 9 (Uproar is a very risky move for this type of challenge despite its pretty fair base power and stab. Lost to the rivals surprisingly formidable Wingull.)

Went passed Route 211 this time and into Mt. Coronet where I caught Buddah the Meditite.
Taught Buddah Rock Tomb.
Headed to the bike shop where Cynthia came and gave me an egg, can't wait for it to hatch!
