Completed my LeafGreen Nuzlocke ~ Gosh this challenge was harsh D: My rival destroyed my team so only Snorlax survived >.<

R.I.P. Lapras, Grimer, Marowak, Rapidash, Omastar and a lot of other pokemon I caught during the journey- The most upsetting death was Batman - I caught him as zubat in rock tunnel and he came through in so many battles for me ~ than one stupid seaking hit horn drill - and killed him :(

How do u do this???? and I'm confused...
Click to expand...

You pick a game, and you start playing.
You can only catch the first pokemon you encounter, means the first time a wild pokemon comes in a route\cave\water route\forest, you can only catch him, and no other pokemon who may come later. If you accidentally defeat the pokemon, you can't try another time.
In addition, if any of your pokemon faints (defeated, "killed"), you'll have to box him until you finish the game OR release it. You have to nickname all the pokemon you get\catch.

That's all.

Boy, i haven't been here in a while, i might update today.

-On route 203 i caught me a Shinx named Electro.
-Caught a zubat at the oreburgh gate called Edaward. (lolz)
-Replaced Queen the magikarp with Edward the Zubat and got to oreburgh town, then saved.

Not much of an update, but here yas go.

Username: xOkazaki
Game: Pokemon Altair (A hack of Emerald, hacks are allowed right?)

Optional Rules
-I must nickname all Pokemon caught (using a random noun generator)
-No legendary Pokemon to be used. (Can be caught but never used)


Okay so Pokemon Altair is a Japanese hack based on Pokemon Emerald, including very professional Fakemon, new story, new characters, new moves etc. The story of Altair takes place after the events of Emerald, and a Meteor shower has hit Hoenn (explaining why all of these new never before seen Pokemon are appearing).

It is entirely in Japanese, however I only have a basic understanding of Japanese, so this should be fun.

With that out of the way, let's get onto Part 1!

Spoiler:


So there is part 1! What do you think? Should I continue? Any suggestions?
(Also sorry about the giant pics, I'll have that fixed for the next update.)

Thank you for reading! (^o^)/

I'm having a lot of fun doing this playthrough, so here is part 2!

Spoiler:


Next time I'll head west onto Route 102 towards Petalburg City!

*UPDATE - PART 3*

Welp, it's been a long time since I posted things about my Nuzlocke challenges... Guess it's time for me to start that again with Liquid Crystal Nuzlocke challenge... Blind... Dear god, what have I done?

Name: Kevin

Pokemon Liquid Crystal Nuzlocke Challenge​

Pokemon that passed away... (Oh god...)

Spoiler:


That's what I have so far. I do have this Nuzlocke streamed on my Twitch account although I've been a bit busy with RL stuff lately. Tomorrow, I am going to continue it in a stream longer than 4 hours. I will warn that I have zero filters in my mind and references glore, so take that into account that I am at best rated PG-13. lol I think this link here pretty much describes how much I feel about my decision of making the rules I am using for this Nuzlocke run... https://www.twitch.tv/alexnight91/c/4350334

Part 5 of my Altair Nuzlocke!


Spoiler:



Next time, Dewford Town!
 
I am disappointed to announce that I have lost my Silver Nuzlocke, and am withdrawing because I died to Lance and his squad of Dragonites. I was mostly underleveled throughout the entire game, and this became full-circle when I reached the Elite Four. They say GSC's length makes it difficult and I'd have to agree.
