[.Kaiser]

Clefable, Purugly, Dustox and Bibarel and uber. Get Curse/Amnesia/Defense Curl/any other stat boosting move a a Bibarel with Simple ability will dominate. Clefable has Magic Guard so it's one of the better Pokes. Purugly can be a beast with a good moveset, as can Dustox. So STFU dude.

 

[mondays suck]

I think Bronzong should be bro tier, I used one of them once in a Pearl Nuzlocke that I never finished because it was on a cartridge I don't have anymore, and it was totally awesome. It just wouldn't die (esp. since Fire attacks are so rare), but still packed QUITE a punch with Extrasensory. Brozong is pretty much the only defense specialist without a major glaring weakness.

I also disagree on Infernape (dies too fast) and Clefable (it has a HUGE movepool, two good abilities and decent enough stats), but I'm ok with most of the rest.


..mind if I try to create Kanto (gen 1, since gen 3 plays differently) tiers? I'll probably get a few wrong as well, but this looks like a fun thing to do.

 

[Planetes.]

Well tbh I haven't played with every single one of the Pokes so its a rough assumption, I'm sure I'd have an appreciation for kaiser's noobs if I have used them.
and @mondays suck, Sometimes specilalists are even more useful as bro tier and I'd like to see your Kanto tiers, I'm doing Johto Next :)

 

[mondays suck]

Alright, here's my attempt at a Kanto tier list. I'm unsure about some (for example: Aero, Ninetales or Slowbro) and probably got a lot of things wrong and people will disagree, but an attempt is an attempt.

Now with 150% more repetitive commentary and typos.

Also note that I excluded trade evolutions since most people don't do them (at least that's what I'm assuming).

Derp Tier

Spoiler:

*bulbagarden.net image removed*As much as I love Beedrill, it has bad stats, and a - apart from Twinneedle of course - bad movepool.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Average stats, but very bad movepool.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*An early powerhouse with Hyper Fang, but easily outclassed by most stuff later on.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*A worse Clefable.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Awful. Just awful.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*With that typing, Parasect is not going to get far.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Very fragile, and a bad movepool.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Dux is certainly cool, but not good.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*81741941 defense? So what? It sucks anyways.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Fragile, bad movepool.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Totally outclassed by its brother. Elemental Punches abuse? Not with that awful Special stat.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Decent movepool, but awful stats, and only obtainable by trading for the far superior Slowbro. Notable for being a good slave though.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Rare, pretty bad stats, bad movepool.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Fµck Yeah? More like Fu

Spoiler:

Сk no.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Obviously
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Very good offensive stats, but one of the worst movepools in the game and very bad defenses.

Average tier

Spoiler:

*bulbagarden.net image removed*Fast, good special stat, Sleep Powder, Psychic moves. Derp bug? I think not.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Good for some Wrap fun
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Decent offensive stats, but very weak movepool
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Very good movepool, and better stats to abuse it than Wigglytuff.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Pretty generic fire type with unvariated movepool, but notable for early Flamethrower and being one of the best Wrap variation abusers.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Generic water type. The access to Psychic moves is nice, but the real Water/Psychics outclass it.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Another generic fire type, similar to Ninetales except that its worse.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Slow, common weaknesses, no good Fighting moves, but powerful physical stats.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Early on a beast, Graveler has severe problems with its typing. A good thing however is learning Earthquake by level up.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Yet another generic Fire type.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Nowhere near being the beast is will become in later generations. Magneton here is just an average electric type with an awful moveset.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Like Magneton, a lot weaker than it will become later on.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Another water type that is not really notable, except for maybe Crabhammer, which can be quite beastly but is not really supported by Kingler's physically-orientated stats. Also, Kingler makes a good slave.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Inferior to Sandslash in almost all ways, but still worthwhile using.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Like some many in this tier: Decent stats, bad movepool. Also very unlikely to get, probably even more than DPPT Snorlax
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Generic water type.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Could be in a higher tier, but I think Kadabra outclasses it.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Only gets normal-type moves, but is notable for easy access to Swords Dance.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*The bulkiest of the bugs, but not really that good yet.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Not-so-very-nice stats, but access to Psychic and Elemental attacks and recover.

Offensive tier

Spoiler:

*bulbagarden.net image removed*Just two words: Drill Peck. One of the best attacks in the game in my opinion, and Fearow is easy to access and gets it pretty early.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Its Slash and Earthquake will seriously hurt, but it can't take hits. Very close to lower tiers.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*The best crit-abuser in the game. 210-power-Slash is nothing to laugh at, even from these mediocre stats.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*The best typing in the game, monstrous Special and Speed stats. Close to bro tier, but it somewhat lacks in move variety.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*A better Fearow with the problem that you get it much later.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*This thing gets the only good Fighting type moves in the game. And it has the stats to abuse them. While Fighting is one of the worst typings in this generation, it still has its uses, like the otherwise so painful Lorelei.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*The two best offensive typings in the game, and the stats to abuse them. Too frail and hard to obtain for bro tier though.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*An Electric type that can actually do more than just spam Electric and Normal moves and be screwed against good ground types! This thing has access to Psychic.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Like Electabuzz, except that it's a fire type. Unfortunately it lacks Fire Spin.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Notable for getting Pin Missile, making this the only Pokemon besides Parasect that is not weak to Psychic and can hit Psychic types super-effective.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*An offensive monster. While somewhat lacking in move variety, it still is powerful enough to get into this tier.

Defensive tier

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

*bulbagarden.net image removed*Very good defenses, access to status, but lacking in offense.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Probably belongs even in a higher tier, since it gets Amnesia. But defensive was so empty...
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Awesome defense, good Special. The typing is more of an offensive one, but overall it all plays well together.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Remember those things that you couldn't kill easily and that then selfdestructed on you? Get one and do the same. Except for the second part.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*A better Graveler in terms of stats. You have to watch out when using this thing though.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Everone knows Blissey, and this isn't much different, except for the ability to actually hurt stuff since it's Special here is what would later become its Special Defense. The bad thing is, you're not going to get one of these. Never.

Prestige tier

Spoiler:

*bulbagarden.net image removed*Availiable early, powerful typing (keep in mind that by far the highest percentage of Pokemon you're going to fight are poison types), early Slash

Spoiler:

, decent stats. Certainly over-average, even if it will require TMs for Ground-type moves.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*A Butterfree with better stats, a better typing and access to Psychic by level up. One of the best statusers in the game.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Good typing, access to Amnesia and a good range of moves, Hypnosis...
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Status, Wrap and crit abuse with Razor Leaf.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Good offensive typing, balanced stats, Ice Beam by level up.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Overpowered typing, balanced stats and Hypnosis.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Stats are wonderful, movepool is ok. The downside is that you're not getting any of these things, just like Kangaskhan and Chansey.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Good typing and Slash, but lacking in Special where most of its movepool lies.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Powerful? Certainly. But will all the painful grinding be worth it? You decide.

Bro tier

Spoiler:

*bulbagarden.net image removed*Leech, Seed, Sleep Powder and Razor Leaf. While the poison typing isn't really helping, Venusaur is still a complete beast.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Very good offensive spectrum, also a good Fire Spin spammer.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Good movepool, good defenses, not really lacking on offensive power as well.

Spoiler:

*bulbagarden.net image removed**bulbagarden.net image removed*The Nidos can learn pretty much anything that's worth learning, while still having very good stats, unlike, say, Clefable.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Has a monstrous special, all other stats are at least good, and it gets Wrap.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Keep this away from Psychics and it will kill everything. Similar stats to Kadabra, but a better defensive typing and superior movepool.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*This thing has it all: Leech Seed, Status, Psychic... Heavily underappreciated.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Gyarados is Gyarados. No need to say more, everyone knows this bamf.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Like Dewgong, except that its superior in almost everything.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Decent typing, insanely good stats and an ok moveset.
*bulbagarden.net image removed*Can learn almost anything, is a monster stat-wise and even gets Amnesia.

Oh goddammit, spoiler splitting. Now my day is ruined.

And yes, this is a pretty hard thing to do, while I have used all of them at some point, I certainly didn't use them enough to really know all their strengths and weaknesses.

[mondays suck]

Alright guys, I think I finally got a HG rom working. You know what that means? Right, I start a Nuzlocke run on it. Yeah, I know I still have that Ruby one going, but it's not like I won't continue it.

...I am a terrible person, aren't I?

Spoiler:

So, I picked Cyndaquil named Aldod (as always, names are generator'd) because I rarely do that, and almost managed to get through the first route without encontounters, but only almost.
So I arrived in Cherrygrove and...

As if I haven't been knowing that in the last 10 years...

This made things a lot better, with the perma running shoes and a high frameskip rate I could actually play at a somewhat decent speed.

I somehow managed not to get poisoned by Spinaraks. Somehow. Anyways, I then beat the rival with ease.

I hate tuturials in Pokemon.

I bit later, I caught Renalhon the Rattata on route 46. I did some grinding and...

Suddenly Cherrygrove city didn't quite look like Cherrygrove city anymore.

I did manage to enter the Pokemon center though...just to have the game crash at exactly this point. So I was wrong, this doesn't permanently work as well.

Spoiler:

Screw this, back to Ruby.

So, disregard everything in this post. Except for the fact that I am a terrible person.

Also, damned spoiler splitting, even though it's not as bad as it could be in this post.

 

[Esp1222]

Well, I started my SGX challenge.

I did all the Mr. Pokemon stuff and battled Silver. Carlos is just...ARGH! I had to restart about 5 times...

Anyway, I must be lucky because, no joke, I found a Dunsparce, caught it, and it was the ability I would want. But then, I lost Chikorita...darn you Rattata.

My Team:

*pokemonelite2000 image removed*Dunsparce, Lv. 8

RIP:
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*Chikorita, Lv. 7

"image removed"-Easy to get, movepool is iffy, but its a pretty good Pokemon if you use it right.

*pokemonelite2000 image removed*Quite useless
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*-Novelty, frail as derp.

Average Tier

Spoiler:

"image removed"-Vendor trash, yes. Reliable, yes. Learns good psychic moves.
"image removed"-Not the BEST movepool, but its pretty useful and has nice typing. Although it learns Psychic at Lv. 65.
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*-Good specials, suck movepool. Vileplume is a better choice.
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*-Stats and movepool are middle of the pack, and its convenient to get.
"image removed"-Easy to get, movepool is iffy, but its a pretty good Pokemon if you use it right.
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*-Rare, but good potential, teaching it psychic means it can rape bruno.
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*-Pretty good stats and moveset
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*-Good typing and moveset
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*-Good stats and typing, derpy movepool.
"image removed"-Hard to obtain, not really worth it.
"image removed"-Nowhere near as good as the other hitmons, but good for tactical use. You would have to hatch a Tyrogue egg to get Rolling Kick though.
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*-Stats are good, movepool is meh. Can stall a lot.

Offensive Specialists

Spoiler:

"image removed"-High SpAtk, frail defense, overall very good.
"image removed"-A top attacker, too bad its silver exclusive
"image removed"-A Great Attacker, not easy to come by, good typing.

Defensive Specialists

Spoiler:

*pokemonelite2000 image removed*-All-Star defender
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*-Mostly Defensive, movepool is meh.
"image removed"-Uber-Defender with decent attack, and good typing.
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*-King of Defense
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*-Good Defense and movepool
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*-A big wall, hard to take down

Prestige Tier

Spoiler:

*pokemonelite2000 image removed*-Stats are average, but its easy to obtain and reliable
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*-Great typing, good movepool
"image removed"-Good stats and movepool, you're quite lucky if you have 2 gbc's to trade with though.
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*-Swords Dance + Slash is great in any gen, hard to obtain though.
"image removed"-Good Typing and moves
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*-QUITE THE MOVESET ^_^
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*-Its moveset is sort of bad, its stats are decent, but its a DRAGON.
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*-Good stats, quite sturdy.

Bro Tier

Spoiler:

"image removed"-Your starter is your bro.
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*-Your starter is your bro.
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*-Your starter is your bro.
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*-Easy to obtain, and a great electric type to have.
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*-Had to think hard about this one, considering rarity, but NOTHING dominates Johto as much as T-tar. It has beautiful typing and accsess to a lot of moves.

Also I need help, should I raise a Ponyta (I need a fire type) or a Naive Cranidos(as naive is +speed which Rampardos badly need)

OK, whoa! Dunsparce is pwn. At least in SGX he is.

Go with Cranidos.

My Dunsparce is still the same, btw.

[mondays suck]

@Mondays suck, Pidgeot is pretty underrated, although its vendor trash, its quite useful.

I find Pidgeot to be an at least decent Pokemon in any other generation than 1. Here, Wing Attack only has 35 power, so the highest powered move Pidgeot learns by level is Quick Attack and its only other offensive options are recoil and 2 turn moves. And Rage, which is about the worst move in the game. Sure, Fly is good despite its inaccurary and there is Mirror Move (which I dislike in Nuzlocke runs, but it would maybe be an interesting option), but that just isn't enough.
With 60-power-Wing Attack and normal-type options like Return or Secret Power, Pidgeot is certainly a good in-game Pokemon to use outside of generation 1, but here it sucks.

 

[Skymin]

I'm currently doing a SoulSilver Nuzlocke challenge myself. I'm doing a comic too on my DeviantArt, which starts here: https://dragon-ryder.deviantart.com/#/d2wzj6e

I'm extremely slow though. D:

 

[Esp1222]

I forgot to say all the others I had caught...

I had caught a Rattata, Hoothoot, and a Caterpie.

Anyway, I trained Dunsparce and Rattata until the level that Rattata learned Hyper Fang. Remind to never underestimate Rattata's Hyper Fang. He OHKOd Falkner's Hoothoot and 2HKOd his Pidgeotto.

My Team:
*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Raticate, Lv. 21
*pokemonelite2000 image removed* Dunsparce, Lv. 18

Their nicknames are gonna be Pari (If you know what that's a reference to, go you) and Ratty.

RIP:

All died while grinding.

I'l sign up for a HG Nuzlocke. I might not be able to updae very often cuz i've got a few other challenges going on to.

The pokemon you see before you get pokeballs don't count, do they?

Well, something totally epic just happened so first update!
After doing all the beggining stuff, the first pokemon I see after getting pokeballs is ... SENTRET!!! Yipee!
