The Nuzlocke Challenge

[nikkissippi121]

Sadly, my team died while battling Norman, so my Alpha Sapphire challenge is complete. Next, though, I'd like to sign up for another challenge.

Username: nikkissippi121
Game: Black 2
Optional Rules: Duplicate & Shiny clauses; must nickname all Pokemon; no evolving; last number of ID determines starter; 1-3 is Snivy, 4-6 is Tepig, 7-9 is Oshawott, and 0 is a wild card

Started game; male PC named Summer (not sure why, but that name stuck in my head for a boy - lol) and Rival is Jett; Summer's ID is 43820, so starter is a free choice (wow! I really lucked out!) and is going to be Tepig. Will update after first badge.

 

[~Ciel~]

Yish, i would like to participate please.
Username: ~Scene Dedenne~ (Soon to be cuter)
Game: Emerald
Optional rules:
-Trainer ID: 1-3 Treecko, 4-6 is Torchic and 7-9 is Mudkip, while 0 lets me choose whichever of these i want.

And here it is!
My name is Kaitlyn so my player is named Kaitlyn (which makes perfect fit to the last letter hehe)
I did all the boring stuff with norman on TV and meeting Brendan.
Yay, last digit 1, meaning Treecko is my starter!
Didn't to know what to go for, and named him Spike!
Caught a Poochyena and named it Pride.

And that's all basically! ~
Goodluck to me!

I did get the Basic Badge last night, but I stupidly lost Ika to Herdier's Take Down - Berlitz proceeded to wrangle both that and Lenora's own Watchog.

However, the woman herself ended up getting smashed by Leech Seed and Mega Drain while I was trying to catch a Petilil. Ergoooooo, my standard White challenge has concluded. However, I do hope VoltWhite will be a bit kinder...

Username: Anvils Alive
Game: VoltWhite
Optional rules:
- Nickname all of your Pokémon to form a bond.
- Shiny Pokémon can be caught and used, no matter when you encounter them.
- Last number of ID determines starter; 1-3 is Snivy, 4-6 is Tepig, 7-9 is Oshawott, and 0 means you've gotta hatch your starter.
- Gifts don't count toward the first encounter. Neither do duplicates of living mons.

ＡＣＴ１ ~ A New Frontier

Spoiler:

Maaaan, Drayano is so meta in the expo-intros for his hakes...
My avatar this time out is one "Yuji," named after the man who dared to program the original Sonic the Hedgehog. :U
Anywho, Yuji has an ID of 13951, so...

Meet Raphael, the Contrary Snivy with a heart of gold...
...who proceeds to bop Bianca's Oshawott with a heaping helping of Tackle.
Same happened to Cheren's Tepig, what with Raph gaining the dandy-handy Vine Whip.
Serious and somewhat va--er...edgy, eh? Sounds about right. I AM ALL I AM, AAAAALL EYYYYE AAAAAAM~
Because you can't NOT ride a bike everywhere you should. :V
My first catch is a Lillipup, whom we'll call Shibe. Such nature, many Pickup, wow.
After we ground up to at least L7 (Raph being one higher), we listened to Ghetsis' little talk about how Pokémon and humans relate.
We took N out like the trash shortly after.
Did I mention Shibe earned the team a free Great Ball? Pickup is like a whole early Christmas, I tell ya what.
Route 2 nets us a Wurmple, named Power Girl because both of its final forms can spell power. Not that it can't be super slang for Kara "Karen Starr" Zor-L.
Speaking of which, PG quickly became a Cascoon...and then a Dustox. Gud.
Bianca's Meowth gave Shibe a bit of trouble, but Oshawott only took a Whip, Leer, and Whip.
Now that we've hit Striaton, we'll call it a day.

HOSHIFT. THE CRITS. THEY COME.
Also, Natu are particularly murderous with Air Cutter as early as L10.

~GYM, WITH EVERYONE AT L13~

[nikkissippi121]

ＡＣＴ３ ~ Shut Down Alive

Spoiler:

Apart from the paraflinch Ekans, the Plasma grunts at the Dreamyard went down without a hinch.

Hey, The Queen evolved into Nidorina! I'm liking this a lot.
Okay, time for more Cheren...sigh.

And with that, Shibe evolves. Despite no longer being able to hand me free items, he does get Scrappy. Where's Bite when ya need it?
There's our Route 3 catch; it's a mild Mareep named Carmen, similarly to Lady Electra herself. :U Evolved shortly after, as well!
The Wellspring Plasbads went down--WHA WHA WHAT?! WOW!
...
That settles it, Plas-boy. You double-team Carmen, I one-man-army you. At least The Queen cleaned up...
Shut. Up. You're talking like your heist victim doesn't treat their Pokémon well when you have the nerve to go and strangle my newest sis. Thaaaaaanks a lot, you monster. You made me feel ugly at gunpoint.
We bothered to save the girl's Pokes...but at what cost?!
So it seems our Wellspring catch is none other than Aron...we'll name this ooooone...ah, Double Kick was too strong. GDI, The Queen...
Naturally, we'll be having a Staryu as a Striaton catch. Namin' this dude Daydream aaaaand he has a Lax nature.
Wh-WHAT. Volbeat. Crit Thunder Shocked Ocean. Cheren wasn't kidding about the dark grass.
Shoulda switched to Power in the first place. So sorry, Ocean...
Aside from that shocker, the only problem was The Queen nearly biting it because of Nature Powered Earthquake.
To end this rollercoaster of a part, our outside-Pinwheel catch, after some beaten-up trainers, is a Spinarak. No thanks, Cookie. I already have a Dustox. Sniper is very promising, though...
