THE OFFICIAL NUZLOCKE CHALLENGE THREAD

[Leafbarrett]

Aah D: I nearly lost Layla (Lapras) in her first fight! If she hadn't leveled up when she did, she would have died from poison, but she hung on with 1HP...! I swear to god, next time I see Giovanni, I'm going to metaphorically punch his face in.

You're right but it will make my personal hell all the more special :D
#edit# I'll still be using pokeballs but tossing any other items.

...You're insane.

 

[Planetes.]

Lopnis, I want to help. Here is a list of Anti-Deprressants because it seems you have a DEATH WISH PLAYING NUZLOCKE WITHOUT ITEMS: http://www.webmd.com/depression/depression-medications-antidepressants

[myrrhman]

So, Ace, does this mean that I get to revive someone? Also, playing through next segment tonight.

 

[Meap and Cheese]

Can I sign up for a Ruby Nuzlocke Challenge?

 

[Lord_Storm]

I don't have much time so I'll keep this brief.

I grinded my team to level 30 and took on Wattson, with Whistler taking down all of his team except for Manectric, who Racer took down easily. That's all today but tomorrow will hopefully have a bigger update.

My team is the same other than the levels, which are all 30.

Meap and Cheese, you are automatically signed up when you post your first update to the challenge, and AceDragonite, I don't seem to be on the list of challengers for R/S/E, when I am doing a challenge on Pokemon Emerald.

Second update :D

The Story so Far:

+ Enter Viridian Forest. And the first pokemon is:
+

Nice B)
+ I call Weedle Larry, and it was a simple case of growing some levels until Pewter City.
+ I decide to do some grinding. After what seemed like forever, I challenged the gym.
+ Bad move. I was fortunate enough not to lose anyone against the first trainer. Back out for some training - much to the dismay of the team. However, 2 cool things happened:
+

And then...
+

Larry. Too cool for school B)
+ Back to try and beat Brock. The fight ensued, and I had a brilliant tactic... spam Sand-Attack with Jefferey! >=D Switched out to Dargo so he could burn that rock to death. Same tactic with Onix. No casualties.
+ On to Route 3 now, and after a few battles:
+

Chelsea's growing up... =')
+ New capture:

JeffereyII - should anything happen to my dear Jefferey. Boxed.
+ I reach Mt.Moon, and catch the first thing that appears!
+

Inevitable I suppose. Okay Zuzu, you're boxed.
+

Dargo's cool points just went up B)
+ What's that on the ground... a Moon Stone! >=)
+

The grinding was worth it after all... ^^
+ I nabbed the Dome Fossil (might aswell treat that as my Cinnibar pokemon) and got the hell outa there.
+ What will I find on Route 4?
+

I was looking for one of those =D I shall call him FeatherJoe. Boxed.
+ In Cerulean, I find a Rare Candy. Now who to use it on... Jefferey!
+

Right decision much? B)
+ Next step: Nugget Bridge =D

The Team:

Dargo - Lv. 17

[mondays suck]

Time to continue

Spoiler:

Beat Team Aqua and May (Combusken was a pain, stupid Peck...). Advanced to Mauville. Really hoped for Oddish on the eastern route...and got Illumise. Useless. Aliyah is at level 14 and enjoying the box. I'm not going to waste all the time to grind an Illumise up again after E386, where that thing was a total disaster. So, right before the Wattson battle, Makuhita evolved. So I got myself a few Super Potions and challenged. Magnemite went down in one hit. Voltorb selfdestructed, which only did 1/3. Magneton used Sonicboom twice and then died. Wow, Hariyama is awesome. Except that it's name is still Makuhita.:cheeky:
But there's not only good things. For example, I think my only Pokemon that can learn Rock Smash is Makuhita. Ugh...

The Glorious Team:
:t267: Joducus, level 24 - Gust, Mega Drain, Poison Sting, Stun Spore
:t297: Makuhita, level 25 - Tackle, Vital Throw, Sand Attack, Arm Thrust
:t309: Cinzia, level 24 - Quick Attack, Thunder Wave, Spark, Howl

How can add those pokemon emoticons that look like pokemon themselves?

 

[Leafbarrett]

:t###: with those ### being the number of the pokemon. If you want to add Charizard, for example, you'd use t006 to get :t006:.

...Speaking of Charizard... My first casualty has happened. Sabrina's Alakazam got a crit Psychic when I tried to switch in Ayumi from my Lapras. Never stood a chance.

R.I.P.
Ayumi :t006: Lv5 - Lv38

 

[Sammuthegreat]

How can add those pokemon emoticons that look like pokemon themselves?

You could go here and find the sprites. So to add the Charizard sprite from Platinum, you open up, say, the Platinum Sprites page, and find Charizard. Click on the link and the picture will appear - right click, then "Copy image URL."

Then when you post here, click the little picture button at the top of the text box you're typing in - it looks like a little picture frame with mountains and a moon/sun in it. Paste the URL you just copied into the notification that pops up on screen, and voila:

Charizard!

Also, your rules are pretty intense, haha. I'm playing without any healing/reviving items at all, but I am using TMs, Rare Candies and hold items. I think I'll play your way on my next Nuzlocke, because after the 4th Gym this run has been pretty straightforward on the whole!

P.S. Read my blog chronicling my journey, the link's in my sig :)

 

[Planetes.]

So, Ace, does this mean that I get to revive someone? Also, playing through next segment tonight.

yup but only once. So choose wisely

 

[Esp1222]

Can I sign up for a Ruby Nuzlocke Challenge?

MEAP!? And you can.

Quick update guys:

I got my final(hopefully) member:

FLUFFLES THE WIGGLYTUFF!

And I beat Norman-Tate&Liza

 

[Planetes.]

Comix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also I'll sign everyone up

 

[Kylie-chan]

On a Platinum Nuzlocke now (my HGSS one... I just... lost interest, since I've played HGSS so many times XDD;;)! Except I edited one route to have 100% encounter rate for Delibird -- because I feel like playing with a Delibird. It learns Fly, it's cute, and Present is hilarious, though veryyyy risky to use. 8( I just got to Oreburgh Town with:

Delibird Lv. 9 (it swept an entire team)
Chimchar Lv. 12
Shinx Lv. 9
Zubat Lv. 8

Gonna have to train so I can beat Roark @___@ It's gonna be fun. Not.

Ace: Nice comic!

[Planetes.]

^hey Kylie-Chan, didn't think I'd see you around here. And thanks for the praise.
I can understand when you want to play with a certain Pokemon on Nuzlocke, lol I have a Porygon-Z on my diamond, and Captain Slash, the Scizor on my LG. Its nice for a change of pace because I've played the games so many times.


Oh and Hita, my mankey shown in the previous comic, died. so it killed a diglett (that I needed badly) then died...I feel like I swallowed a double-edged sword XD

And just 1 question....

HOW THE HELL AM I GOING TO BEAT LT. SURGE?

 

[Scytha]

Just about to start a Diamond Nuzlocke.

Arggg. I'm going away, so I'll have to do this later.

 

[mondays suck]

And just 1 question....

HOW THE HELL AM I GOING TO BEAT LT. SURGE?

Use Weepinbell. Electric resistance and Sleep Powder to minimalize Double Team spam. Raticate with Dig could work fine as well. Or just delay battling him until waaaaay later.



As for my own run, I still haven't decided which of Hariyama's moves to delete for Rock Smash. It knows Tackle, Sand-Attack, Vital Throw and Arm Thrust. Suggestions?

 

[Leafbarrett]

And just 1 question....

HOW THE HELL AM I GOING TO BEAT LT. SURGE?

Hmm. Bella there would be a good choice, and Slash for backup.

As for my own run, I still haven't decided which of Hariyama's moves to delete for Rock Smash. It knows Tackle, Sand-Attack, Vital Throw and Arm Thrust. Suggestions?

Tackle if you want to increase power (Rock Smash is 40 while Tackle is 35). Sand Attack if you want to keep Tackle for (slightly) more type coverage.

 

[mondays suck]

Actually Rock Smash only has 20 power in this generation, factoring in STAB that's 20, which is still not exactly much. I guess I'll delete Sand-Attack, since both the Fighting-moves are very situational, and if I delete Tackle, pretty much any random bird will kill me...
Move deleter is in Lilycove... Could be worse, I think I'll manage to get there in the mid 30s.

 

[PalkiaSpace]

Not a big update, I only ran back to New Bark to get my everstone, then went back to Azalea. I fought a couple of rocket grunts, but my team is the same.
