Not sure if anyone is reading these, but since I officially did this cart reset to catch new and ideal legends, I'm going to suspend my Nuzlocke while I chase Kyogre.

I ran into some hardships in Mauville, particularly, losing about 5 or 6 mons while I tried to figure out a new team mate. The current team is:

Zapdoge the Manectric (Mega)
Kipz n Dipz the Swampert
Camerupt (can't remember the nickname)
Zul the Crobat
Camping the Machamp
ZigyStardust the Linoone.

Zigy's been doing awesome. Can't complain about that guy.

Video of latest boss kill (Jasmine):



I've started intermingling an Emerald run between when I'm doing this one. I got a bit burnt out on grinding and I needed something fresh.

 

[skyburial]

Resumed my challenge today. Wallace took out my Machamp with a Horn Drill >_< sometimes you gotta love how lucky the AI gets in Pokemon. Back in the genwunner days I had a Golem with Fissure and connected about one out of every ten times that I used it. Sad times.

Back to the grind of training a new mon, I suppose. Since one of the elites runs Ghost types I'll probably see about getting this Poochyena up to par.

Edit: NVM remembered I hadn't caught anything at Meteor Falls yet so I went and nabbed a Deino. I named him Dino Spimoni.

This fight was literally the most intense I've ever been a part of for a Nuzlocke. Minun for Uber tier.

[skyburial]

Finished my Nuzlocke last night. Beat the Elite 4 by the skin of my teeth - going up against Steven with 3 Pokemon left in my team was not the most reassuring position. Each of the elites took a Pokemon down with them, my Linoone, Crobat, and Zweilous failing to make it to the finish line. In my eyes, it will be only Zapdoge, Kipz and Camerupt in this Hall of Fame record.

Video of Elite Four and Champion (Timestamps in description):



I was super bummed that I lost my Minun during the Wally fight right before the E4 (video in the playlist), he was an absolute beast the entire run and gave me new found respect for a Poke I thought was ****.

[Daydream]

I read like all of the original Pokemon: Hard-Mode comics in a day and I am raring to go with my own nuzlocke. This is my first. It's probably gonna be spectacularly bad.

Username: Daydream

Single/Ultimate?: Single

Additional Rules:

---
I've already started playing a little so here's my first update:

Spoiler:

- Chose Chikorita as my starter, named him Basil. Set off on my journey.

- Saw a Pidgey on Route 29 (once I had pokeballs) and Basil crit her. Thanks, buddy.

- Hopped on over to Route 46 and catch a Spearow. Named her Undyne.

- Caught A Rattata on Route 30, name him Feist.

- Undyne died at the hands of Youngster Joey and his top-percentile Rattata. I am deeply ashamed.

- Caught a Geodude in Dark Cave. Named him LOLDIEFALKNER Ebbot.

- Came across no pokemon in Sprout Tower, decided not to think about it. I've trained Gastly often enough.

- Battled Falkner, and Feist gave his life to absorb a critical hit from his Pidgeotto. RIP, little one.

(It's at this point in the write-up I come to the sudden realisation that while joined, Routes 30 and 31 are in fact separate routes and in the name of grinding I murdered whatever had come first there).

- Caught a Wooper on Route 32. Named him Happy.

- Caught a Zubat in Union cave, who I forgot to nickname, so she was boxed for my grievous error.

- Caught another Rattata on Route 33. Named her Nene. She's boxed as a backup for now. Feist's death is still too fresh in my memory. :'(

- Reached Azaelea, defeated the Rockets, ground a little. Basil evolved. Togepi hatched. Named her Princess, then boxed her.

- Ran off into Ilex Forest after defeating my rival and caught an Oddish. Called her Spring. 'Nother grass type. Meh (she gets used for Cut, then boxed).

- Defeated Bugsy.

- Caught a Ditto on Route 34, named it Dita, then boxed it. Happy evolved against one of the trainers on this route.

- Ran through Goldenrod to battle trainers in/around the park. Caught a Nidoran (F) on Route 35. Named her Hara.

- Caught a Stantler on Route 36. Named her Darcie.

- After some grinding, Hara evolved into Nidorina.

Forgot to update with episode 44, so here's 2 episodes for you all! :]

[Pendraflare]

Username: Pendraflare
Version: X
Single/Ultimate?: Single currently

Extra rules:
-Can only use Pokémon that are or evolve into Bug or Psychic-type
-Set battle style
-Three healing items per battle
-Only regular Poké Balls can be used to catch Pokémon, barring a shiny or Xerneas

I also do have my Black 2 going on, but I don't think i'm going to continue making small updates. I'll post the end results once it's all over. This, however, will be quite a bit easier to write out.

Spoiler:

So I started the game, chose the girl and named her Insectina. I got Fennekin as my starter and named it Witchcraft, beat Shauna, and after getting the Pokédex, I caught a Weedle on Route 2, which I named Hornet. Then in Santalune Forest, I ended up with a Caterpie that I named Margarine. I beat the trainers there, some of which actually left me low on health, and beat the trainers on Route 3 as well, so both my bugs evolved. I beat a couple of the trainers on Route 22, but not all of them. I managed to have myself a Beedrill and Butterfree before I got to the Gym, and beat one of the trainers before I got to the Gym Leader.

Her Surskit wasn't a problem for Hornet once I got in the poisoning, because Fury Attack hit four times. Vivillon proved much harder, as I had to tread with Margarine and lower her Speed, and she got me very low thanks to Infestation, so I had to use a Potion. Once Margarine was freed from Infestation, Witchcraft took care of her and killed her with three shots of Ember (because she healed after the first). I got the Bug Badge and stopped there.

Team:

Spoiler:

Nature: Rash
Obtained: Aquacorde Town

(M) "Margarine", Level 11
