gotta love having five wingulls plus a pelipper, six wailmer and four sharpedo

I'm redoing my nuzlocke of white since I died.

Status: Just beat the bug gym leader.

Alive and kicking:

Bubbles the Panpour (m)
L28

Cut (urgh)
Scald
Work up
Rock smash

Muffin the Swoobat (f) L29

Confusion
Heart stamp
Air cutter
Attract

Fluffee the Cottonee (f) L27
Growth
Leech seed
Stun spore

Dead:

Smugleaf (m) Snivy L13
Died to Pansear in the first gym

Swift (m) Patrat L9
Died to Pansear in first gym

Dr Whooves (m) Bliztle L14
Died to a double slapping Audino while I was training.

Notes: Not a good start. Lost all but Bubbles to the gym. Thankfully Chilli pitied me and spammed incinerate, which gave me time to spam water gun.

Bubbles is quite cute. I don't normally like Panpour.

Over leveled because I was scared of the normal gym, thinking they were L25.

Mad MOAI's Modified Nuzlocke - Wild Pokemon cannot kill Moai's Pokemon, but Trainer Pokemon can still kill Moai's Pokemon.

Time: 68:00
Location: Hearthome City
Badges: 4
Status: Ready to take on the Ghost gym with some of my Dark-types. Probably going to include Icebreaker in that team too. Wishing I had a Machoke right now. Tempted to start a Nuzlocke on a 3rd generation game too. Having lots of fun.

Team:
[Icebreaker] (M) - lv 36
Timid - Lake Verity
Torrent - Strength, Metal Claw, Surf, Peck
Name: I believe it's a kind of big boat that separates ice.
Notes: Great endurance even as a Prinplup. As a result, I've counted on him as a defense Pokemon when I need one.

[Wings] (F) - lv 36
Sassy - Oreburgh Gate
Inner Focus - Mean Look, Confuse Ray, Wing Attack, Bite
Name: I was tempted to call her "Tsubasa," which is the same thing in Japanese, but my sister was already doing that left and right.
Notes: One of the only members of my team who can reliably kill a Machoke.

[Rolling Star] (F) - lv 36
Hasty - Route 207
Rock Head - Magnitude, Earthquake, Rock Throw, Rock Smash
Name: A song.
Notes: I need her to learn a better Rock move.

[Ciel] (M) - lv 36
Calm - Valley Windworks
Swift Swim - Swift, Crunch, Aqua Jet, Surf
Name: My sister was starting to get into Black Butler, and she convinced me to name my Buizel Ciel...
Notes: Used in the Water Gym against Wake's Floatzel because I couldn't find a better alternative.

[Aisling] (M) - lv 36
Lonely - Eterna Forest
Insomnia - Fly, Astonish, Faint Attack, Haze
Name: Irish for "Nightmare."
Notes: Had to teach him Fly because otherwise he'd be stuck with Wing Attack.

[Meredith] (F) - lv 37
Bashful - Route 208
Pure Power - Calm Mind, Confusion, Force Palm, Hidden Power
Name: After Meredith McCoy, a pretty awesome voice actor.
Notes: Needs a better Psychic move.

[Pianissimo] (F) - lv 36
Adamant - Route 211
Levitate - Wrap, Yawn, Astonish, Confusion
Name: Musical term for very soft.
Notes: Also needs better moves.

[Baura] (M) - lv 36
Serious - Ravaged Path
Intimidate - Ice Fang, Surf, Bite, Twister
Name: Bleach side character who is a giant whale/rockfish.

[Byakuya] (M) - lv 36
Mild - Route 204
Poison Point - Giga Drain, Magical Leaf, GrassWhistle, Toxic
Name: Bleach character whose technique involves flower petals.
Notes: Was going to wait until level 45 or so to evolve him so he could learn Toxic, but then I remembered I had a Toxic TM sitting around anyway and just used that.

[Bagel] (F) - lv 36
Rash - Route 209
Levitate - Spite, Sucker Punch, Confuse Ray, Shadow Ball
Name: I was eating a bagel at the time.
Notes: Endurance isn't so good, but Shadow Ball is pretty great.

[Gagin] (M) - lv 36
Impish - Route 210
Run Away - Tackle, Flame Wheel, Stomp, Ember
Name: Kekkaishi character who is a big six-armed unicorn. Way cuter as a Pokemon.
Notes: Frustrating how he evolves so late and doesn't have Flash Fire.

[Tail] (M) - lv 36
Bashful - Route 206
Aftermath - Slash, Flamethrower, Screech, Night Slash
Name: The fluffiest part of a Stunky/Skuntank. Very fluffy.

[Fisk] (F) - lv 37
Serious - Route 212
Oblivious - Amnesia, Magnitude, Surf, Aqua Tail
Name: Swedish for "fish" - also a minor character in a book I was reading at the time (though the character was male).
Notes: Too cute to evolve. Actually, Barboach isn't half bad. Not as bad as Meditite, anyway.

[Manatee] (F) - lv 36
Modest - Great Marsh
Damp - Earthquake, Yawn, Surf, Amnesia
Name: Animal I saw while snorkeling in Florida that reminds me of Quagsire.
Notes: Great endurance. Used to kill Maylene's Lucario with very little resistance.

[Java] (M) - lv 36
Modest - Route 212
Intimidate - Fly, Quick Attack, Aerial Ace, Close Combat
Name: The java sparrow
Notes: Never used Double Team anyway.

[Eiyoo] (F) - lv 36
Lax - Twinleaf Town
Swift Swim - Aqua Ring, Supersonic, Horn Attack, Surf
Name: Corruption of "Au," the chemical symbol for gold (as in Goldeen).
Notes: Had to try for a Goldeen on Route 214 first, but was disappointed to find a Magikarp instead. Resorted to Twinleaf Town.

[Koutaku] (M) - lv 36
Quirky - Route 219
Swift Swim - Water Pulse, Attract, Safeguard, Gust
Name: Means "Luster." Also the name of a really old Pokemon comic I once wrote that people seemed to like anyway.
Notes: Fun because I've never used a Lumineon before, and I like fish.





In Storage:
[Assault] (F) - lv 23
Hasty - Floaroma Meadow
Shield Dust - Tackle, Moonlight, Poison Sting, Protect
Name: What happens when you meet a bug with spikes on its rear.
Notes: Gave up on Dustox because it can't kill a Wooper ten levels weaker. Saving for an emergency.

[Azalea] (F) - lv 5
Quiet - Route 204
Poison Point - Absorb, Growth
Name: A type of flower.
Notes: Saving for if Byakuya dies (which he almost did recently).





Dead:
[Pizzapaw] (M) - lv 14
Bashful - Route 202
Rivalry - Tackle, Leer, Charge, Bite
Name: I was eating pizza at the time.
Notes: Died against Roark's Geodude. So far my only dead Pokemon, which I'm sort of glad about because I always use Shinx.

Beat my Emerald Nuzlocke, which for me means beat Steven. I play Nuzlockes such that if you white out you can still continue if there are Pokes left in the PC (even with that difference my first Emerald Nuzlocke died right after Wattson haha) which is the only reason I beat Steven, my ace team Sharpedo/Banette/Walrein/Vileplume/Magneton/Gyarados for Intimidate all died. I was so close to winning, I just needed to beat Armaldo but everything but Walrein had died and Armaldo knew Ancientpower. Maybe I would've won had I not lost my Machoke to Victory Road while training for the E4 (and, through losing Machoke, indirectly lost Altaria on the E4).

I had literally a box full of mostly water-types (like six Wailmer, four Sharpedo, three Wingull, three Tentacool etc) that I could have prepared and gone against Steven again but fuck if I was going to level thirty levels for that so I just went and nabbed Kyogre with the Master Ball since Marine Cave is its own place. I debated over Groudon and Kyogre, chose Kyogre, and then promptly sent my boyfriend an extremely long text that was so long I had to split it into two texts explaining why Kyogre was the better choice when he thought Groudon would be better. Gave it a moveset of Calm Mind/Thunder/Surf/Ice Beam and a couple stat-boosting items and took it to Steven with a party full of my highest leveled water-types in case something happened. Used Calm Mind six times on Skarmory, occasionally healing off Toxic poison, and promptly OHKO'd every single one of the bitches with the appropriate move.

Thus I have avenged the death of so many great Pokémon, including the Grovyle named after my boyfriend, the Altaria which I worked so hard to train, the Machoke which was for so long a major powerhouse before his untimely death, and all six of the poor souls who sacrificed themselves to Steven. R.I.P. Casey, Hodges, Gracie, Hannah, Kenton, Eliza, Crotty, Donna, Reagan, and all the others whose lives have been lost in the journey.

And with that I begin a second Nuzlocke, the second part in my attempt to Nuzlocke every generation of Pokémon games thus released. This time it's SoulSilver.

My brother gave me his DS back in December so, since I can now freely transfer my Pokémon from 4th to 5th gen any time, I've restarted my HeartGold version. I wanted a twist on the normal gameplay, so here I go attempting my first chronicled Nuzlocke that's going to last longer than up to the first gym battle~

My additional rules are:
-- Species clause; I can choose not to catch the first Pokémon in an area if I already have it.
-- No healing items or in-battle items.
-- Gift Pokémon unusable.
-- Pokéwalker: Only the first Pokémon caught in each area is valid; same as in-game, if it runs away or faints, then tough luck.

Extra Rules:

-No Potions/status medicines, but held berries are ok
-If party blacks out but there are Pokemon in PC, game continues until all reserves are "dead".

I'll edit this post with updates to it. First thing I need to do is get to the point I can catch more Pokemon without dying...

Would anyone be interested if I were to make a "Nuzlocker's Pokémon Guide" of sorts that was basically an appearance rate guide, but so arranged that the only routes/cities/locations used are those which actually have Pokémon (as the others are irrelevant to a Nuzlocker), and so arranged so that certain unnecessary Pokémon are excluded (like PokéRadar/GBA-game-slot Pokémon, as odds are you'll take the first Pokémon you run into in the route instead of waiting til after beating the E4 to come back and catch something else)?

Arranged like this, for instance...

Route 29 (Johto)
Grass - Gold/Silver
Morning/Day: Pidgey lv. 2-4 (55%), Sentret lv. 2-3 (40%), Rattata lv. 4 (5%)
Night: Hoothoot lv. 2-3 (85%), Rattata lv. 2-4 (15%)
Grass - Crystal
Morning/Day: Pidgey lv. 2-3 (50%), Sentret lv. 2-3 (40%), Rattata lv. 2 (5%), Hoppip lv. 3 (5%)
Night: Hoothoot lv. 2-3 (55%), Rattata lv. 2-3 (45%)
Grass - HeartGold/SoulSilver
Morning/Day: Pidgey lv. 2-4 (55%), Sentret lv. 2-3 (40%), Rattata lv. 2-4 (5%)
Night: Hoothoot lv. 2-4 (85%), Rattata lv. 2-4 (15%)

Benefits would be that you would be able to see the levels (if you were interested in using the Repel trick to avoid getting ten of the same species, like I did in my Emerald Nuzlocke) and you would be able to see the distinct differences in the versions/times of day laid out right here. Plus all the appearance info would be consolidated into this one chart instead of many different pages, as with most online Pokédexes; thus you could just do a ctrl+f search for a given route/city and bam. And the appearance rates are shown in order of most likely to least likely, so a Nuzlocker has an idea of what they're most likely to encounter as it's given.

This may be incredibly redundant but idk it might be useful for some people. What do you guys think?

I like the idea.

Bubbles is quite cute. I don't normally like Panpour.

Over leveled because I was scared of the normal gym, thinking they were L25.

Click to expand...

Just posting to say I beat it. My team consisted of:

Pringles L54 (m) Jellicent. A boss with its awesome spdf. Could tank like a tank, very useful. Died to Hydreigon while I was healing.

Birdie L52 (m) Unphezant. The sole survivor of my run. Killed hydreigon with quick attack, of all things.

Emily L55 (f) Stoutland. Brilliant attacker. Had ice fang on it, but Hydreigon made mincemeat of her.

Fluffee L51 (F) Cottonee WHERE WAS THE BLOODY SUN STONE?????? Needless to say, she died.

Happy L52 (m) Daramatan Very good against the dark types, anyway.

Zekrom L50 Didn't feel like naming it. Died to hydreigon.

Just beat the Elite Four on HeartGold without taking a single casualty.

I don't mean 'while fighting the E4', I mean IN THE WHOLE GAME. MASSIVE OVERTRAINING for the win (42 hours play time).

Because I love 'em and want to show them off:

Linus Typhlosion(m) Lv.55
Cooly Kingler(f) Lv.55
Adelaide Golem(f) Lv.56
Oust Butterfree(f) Lv.56
Reggie Nidoking(m) Lv.56
Shuckie Shuckle(m) Lv.55

I am so proud. And I'm off to trash some Kanto Gym Leaders :D

Doing a SS Nuzlocke, with name suggestions from my RP partner because I'm pretty lazy. Other than Senica, since I love referencing my own stuff all the time anyways. Standard rules, no duplicates, nickname all my Pokemon.

Currently: Grinding to face Falkner, expecting a casualty because this is really my first serious Nuzlocke. (The actual first was a front for a shitty Slenderblog and I gave up halfway like usual so yeah)

Ricochet Cyndaquil (M) Lv. 12
Teiru Sentret (F) Lv. 8
Simili Beedril (M) Lv. 10
Bluheim Pidgey (M) Lv. 11
Senica Ekans (F) Lv. 11

I decided to restart my Leaf Green on a whim, and so now I've got a Nuzlocke going.

Forgot special rules...*Facepalm*
-No items during battle
-No repeats
-No Legendaries unless they were somehow the first pokemon you encounter in that area
-No repels
-Gift and Safari Zone pokemon count as where they entered your party/PC (So fossils would count for Cinnabar, etc)
-I can catch legendaries, but if they weren't the first encountered pokemon, then they start off as dead
-Once I am finished with a town for plotline purposes (includes gyms), that town becomes dead to me; I can't interact with it besides walking through it.

I am doing a very weird Nuzlocke type thing with FireRed. It is is a Rock-type randomonolocke, where I have to randomly generate a rock type everytime I get to a new place I can catch Pokemon, then use codes to put it in the grass. And if anything faints, of course, it's dead.

Team:


I've beaten Brock, not with Olga's Water Gun, or even BC's Absorb, but Israphel's Bite. Now I'm grinding, not for Misty yet, but for that guy on Nugget Bridge with the Level 18 Mankey.

Just beat Whitney in SoulSilver Nuzlocke.
