The Pokemon Nuzlocke Thread

[animorpherv1]

So, I've finally grabbed a foothold in one of my games. I've swapped over to Black, and I just beat Cress in the first gym.

My Team

kdowns - Tepig (Level 14)
Chevre - Lillipup (Level 2)
Amrun - Purrloin (Level 5)
shaft.ed - Pansage (Level 10)

Dead

None!

In Storage

None!

[animorpherv1]

Welp. Chevre died.

[animorpherv1]

/in for the DPP Nuzlocke competiton.

I'm using Platinum.

[animorpherv1]

Trainer: Animo
Rival: Xalxe

Naming all Pokemon after scummers.

[animorpherv1]

OK, so I went with Chimchar. Named him Faraday. Beat Xalxe in the trainer battle. Caught a Starly (lvl. 2, named it Klazam) on Route 201. On Route 202, I met a Bidoof, but Faraday crit killed it. Oh well, I generally use Route 202 for getting Shinx anyways. Almost killed Klazam already. At this point, I was leveling up my Chimchar for the Gym Battle. Found a Geodude on 207. Caught it (Lvl. 5, named it Sudo). This is when I found out the Starly I caught is in fact, female (lol never checked, hope you don't mind, Klazam! xD). Faraday then evolved. I'll do the Trainer Battle Later.

ALIVE

Faraday - Monfernape - (Lvl. 5 - 14) - Starter Pokemon
Kalazam - Starly - (Lvl. 2 - 9) - Route 201
CHESSKID - Bidoof (Lvl. 4) - Route 204
Sudo - Geodude (Lvl. 5) - Route 207

In Box

None

Dead

None

[animorpherv1]

I veto #5 as well.

Also, I'm dumb. What is 'Boxxing'?

[animorpherv1]

Im gonna do 6 pokemon alive at any time anyway, so rule doesn't apply to me, lol

I think I'll do that too, lol. (Namely as I can't see a way around the rule).

[animorpherv1]

No boxing pokemon i think is not allowing you to switch pokemonf from party with a caught pokemon already in box

Then doesn't that conflict with number 6?

[animorpherv1]

Caught the most annoying Onix ever in the mine. Spent so many Pokeballs on it, because if I attacked it again, it would have died (due to Burn). Immediately went back to heal & get more Pokeballs, lol. Reck, you're now an Onix. Roark is easy. So are the next two gyms as well, because fire/fighting type lol. After that I went back to 202, and leveled up Sudo (I honestly never grind, but I think I should in Nuzlocke). May I just mention how much I like my Pokemon to have high speed? Like, all these slow Pokemon aff.

ALIVE

Faraday - Monfernape - (Lvl. 5 - 17) - Starter Pokemon
Kalazam - Starly - (Lvl. 2 - 9) - Route 201
CHESSKID - Bidoof (Lvl. 4) - Route 204
Sudo - Geodude (Lvl. 5 - 7) - Route 207
xRECKONERx - Onix (Lvl. 8) - Oreburgh Mine

In Box

[animorpherv1]

Klazam got it right. No boxing means that you cannot box pokemon. This means that you may not catch more than 6 pkoemon, as that would necessitate putting a pokemon in the box. And I doubt any of you would be heartless enough to kill off a teammate to make way for another, yes?

Thanks Klazam. Name the bidoof, MS!

CHESSKID only to match mine. lol.

[animorpherv1]

Bidoof: Cheery Dog

[animorpherv1]

I haven't forgotten, I'm just busy this week. I'll either do this either tomorrow, or next Sunday. I work Tuesday - Saturday.

[animorpherv1]

[animorpherv1]

It depends on the Nuzlocke, I guess.

I say go for it.

[animorpherv1]

So what version are people Nuzlockeing right now? Link to download?

Buy the game you silly cheapskate.

[animorpherv1]

Glork doesn't own a Nintendo handhold?

[animorpherv1]

I feel for you, bro.

[animorpherv1]

I do have a nintendo DS here somewhere but honestly I never ever use it. I only have pokemon Pearl on it. I don't see any reason to buy the newest pokemon games (black and white), because the pokemon suck in those games. Just look at this atrocity:

[animorpherv1]

^ It's not the best looking RBY pokemon, but at least it has the power of simplicity which the ice cone pokemon lacks.

Here then:

[animorpherv1]

Not Nuzlocke related, but I'm playing through my Black Nuzlocke that I started and never quite finished, so now it's not a Nuzlocke. I have:


Kdowns the level 29 Pignite (In Party)
quadz08 the level 19 Wooper (In Party)
mallowgeno the level 15 Venipede
Zazie the level 14 Cottonee
Xalxe the level 14 Audino
Klick the level 14 Sewaddle
Crazy the level 14 Timburr
kloud1516 the level 14 Tympole (In Party)
shaft.ed the level 14 Simisage (In Party)
xofelf the level 11 Pidove (In Party)
Chevre the level 9 Lillipup
Amrun the level 5 Purrloin (In Party)

If anyone has a Pokemon they want to be in Black, or a type they want to be, just say so and I'll do that at fist chance (not re-naming anything, or capturing any of those again).

[animorpherv1]

Klazam, I'm playing Black. No Alakazams in sight...

[animorpherv1]

.... and I keep dying to the same Sigilyph.

I'm done with this.

[animorpherv1]

Wedlock rules

Should I go for it?

EDIT: Going for it!

[animorpherv1]

OK, so far my pairs:

Male	Female
Crazy - Staravia (lvl 14)	Shiidaji - Luxio (lvl 15)
TheBadOne - Machop (lvl 11)	Fenchurch - Geodude (lvl 11)
kdowns - Monferno (lvl 16)	BIDOOF (forgot to name; will name later) - Bidoof (lvl 11)

My backups (blue = male, red = female)

Umbrage (Zubat; lvl 8)
Cheery Dog (Buizel; lvl 7)

Currently in Floaroma Town.

I still have an encounter in Ravaged Path due to dupes clause, but everywhere else I've had mine.

[animorpherv1]

WOW.

I just lost the Bidoof, Staravia AND Zubat....

fml.

[animorpherv1]

I ended up replacing BIDOOF with esurio with Shellos.

[animorpherv1]

^ Welcome to Wedlockes

EDIT: I've actually got a quasi-competitive team over @ Pokemon Showdown. Anyone up for a battle over there?

[animorpherv1]

IT'S OK MAESTRO I SHARE YOUR PAIN.

I'm running through a quasi-nuzlocke in Platinum, then I'm going to either Wedlocke Diamond or a Platinum Nuzlocke. IDK.

[animorpherv1]

^ King's Rocks on Tuesday or Thursdays, I forget which.

[animorpherv1]

>< For whatever reason I was thinking Politoed.

[animorpherv1]

As for my progress I've beaten Burgh. My team:

Pignite (lvl 28)
Unfezant (lvl 21)
Roggenrola (lvl 20)
Tympole (lvl 15)
Darumaka (lvl 15)
Sewaddle (lvl 14)

Darumaka is getting swapped out at first instant. Everything else gets leveled up to 25 (30 in Pignite's case).

Deaths:

1) Purrloin, Route 1
2) Pansage, Pinwheel Forest Entrance
3) Herdier, Route 4 (FREAKING RAZOR SHELL)

[animorpherv1]

I'm on Skyla now, but I have freaking nothing.

Dead:

Herdier
Litwick
Leavanny (I loved Leavanny :/)

I also have nothing strong vs.flying attacks, so I pulled Ferroseed (that I got from Chargestone Cave) out at the last moment and am trying to either train it or find a Hidden Power, because Cinccino has HP Rock.

Unrelated, I'd like to move more than 5 steps at a time in Chargestone Cave.

EDIT: Found Charge Beam. This will help.

[animorpherv1]

OK, so apparently orc and I are playing the E4 and whatnot at the same time. My team:

Name	Liepard	Emboar	Gothitelle	Cinccino	Ferrothorn	Golurk
Level	Lvl. 55	Lvl. 55	Lvl. 52	Lvl. 50	Lvl. 50	Lvl. 50
Held Item	BlackGlasses	Charcoal	Electric Gem	Normal Gem	Miracle Seed	Ground Gem
High Stat	Speed (148)	Attack (195)	Sp. Defense (148)	Speed (134)	Defense (147)	Attack (155)
Low Stat	Sp. Defense (63)	Sp. Defense (75)	Attack (81)	Sp. Defense (79)	Speed (40)	Sp. Attack (72)
Move 1	Night Slash	Brick Break	Psychic	Tickle	Iron Head	Heavy Slam

Move 3	Hone Claws	Wild Charge	Charge Beam	Charm	Gyro Ball	Magnitude
Move 4	Assurance	Flamethrower	Psyshock	Retaliate	Ingrain	Night Shade

[animorpherv1]

Beat E4 without casualty.

[animorpherv1]

orc wins, I just finished.

[animorpherv1]

OK, so orc, kloud, and I are Nuzlocking Black 2 with similar rules.

My team so far is awesome. BUT I JUST CAUGHT SHINY AZURILL. Boxing RIGHT NOW.

[animorpherv1]

I told you last night I'd start as soon as I got it.

Also, Herdier STAB + Silk Scarf + Return = amazing

[animorpherv1]

Trade them to Black/White/White 2?

[animorpherv1]

Then get a second DS. Or borrow a friends' for a minute or something.

[animorpherv1]

So orc ended up getting a hacked version.

This is lulzy.

[animorpherv1]

BEAT DRAYDEN WITH ZOROARK.

HELL YEAH.

[animorpherv1]

Not a Nuzlocke, but a community playthrough of Black 2! Participate!

[animorpherv1]

So great it had to be said twice.

[animorpherv1]

But Black and White don't suck...

[animorpherv1]

But yeah Gen V sucks. Not so much the storyline (which is reasonably good) as much as the horribly designed pokemon.

Magneton (and Magnemite), Ditto, Muk (and Grimer), Dugtrio (and Diglett), I'd even say Starmie (its literally 2 Staryu thrown together and recolored).

I'm sure there's more, but please. Stop being horrendously nostalgic - its good for nothing.

[animorpherv1]

Gen IV had Gliscor.

'nuff said, Gen IV was cool.

[animorpherv1]

I'm now going to Nuzlocke Y. Base rules:

1) General Nuzlocke rules apply.
2) Exp. must be turned of at all times
3) No Super Training. At all.
4) I can only use Pokemon Amie for Eevee - if I intend to evolve in into Sylveon. Sylveon is free game on Amie, since I had to use it to get Sylveon.
5) No Mega Lucario. Its' broken in-game.
6) No running from horde battles.

Aside from that, I'm free to do whatever I want. Let's see how this turns out.

EDIT: Considering 7) No using O-Powers on myself.

[animorpherv1]

It depends on how you play. If you keep one team the entire game, everything stays overlevelled. If you swap your team around a lot, it works really well.

[animorpherv1]

Ugh horde battles are surprisingly difficult when you know you can't run.

[animorpherv1]

Game beat. Lost 3 Pokemon (Bunnelby, Furret, Krokorok).

Anyone up for Black/White or BW2 competition? I've wanted to do that again for a while.

[animorpherv1]

Is anyone planning to nuzlocke sun/moon on their first run through? I'm considering it, though it's kind of terrifying.

Doing it with another scummer actually.

[animorpherv1]

Starting my nuzlocke now.

[animorpherv1]

X and Y get brutal fast without xp share.
