QUESTION: Will the randomizer that was linked earlier work with any rom I download, or just Emerald?

Too lazy to skim most of the thread. Has this turned into a more general pokemon thread yet?

I started White fairly recently and I'm totally okay with trading with people and stuff. PM if you want to trade friend codes. (I'm also too lazy to turn my DS on right now and just post my code here.)

*Shrug* Maybe.

Starting an N run on Black/Diamond today (Emerald's taking me a bit).

An N run is based off of N's method of battling in 5th gen, you can catch pokemon, but you have to release them all after every single gym battle. It sounds fun and challenging.

How do you get around the fact that you can't release your last pokemon? Catch a new one and then discard the old one?

Yep. I like the idea behind it, and it'll pose a decent challenge, especially come Elite 4 time.

So what if I run into a pidgey while running that damned errand for Prof Oak/Elm? I can't get pokeballs yet, does it still count as my first encounter? Yeah I could justmake my own rule, just wondering if there is a consensus on this
i was going to learn the keyboard and write several ballads
But i went to a barbeque and got lost by the tater salad

One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

you "does counters" are jerks. The wild pokemon you encounter when game storyline prevents you from catching it should totally not count. :(

I tried this once, my main team wiped on my Rival and I had to resurrect with a Zubat and a Magikarp.

There's only two rules in the original Nuzlocke:
1) Release a pokemon if it faints
2) You can only catch the first catchable pokemon in each area.

I don't see any problem with my variant.
