I'll update tonight again, but I'm going to be a heavy poison/water based team, I feel. I probably will take advantage of a Zubat in a cave, and I caught a Budew that I'll teach Venoshock, given the chance. A toxic/venoshock combo would devestate most trainers, so I just need something to take care of the steel pokes. Probably Piplup.

when you say "dupes allowed" that makes it sound like you can get multiples of the same pokemon, which isn't that what you did last time? am I being silly?

Anway, I allowed duplicates in an attempt at Diamond I did during the summer and ended up with four Bidoofs. :/

I'd never do dupes... Especially because in Sinnoh, Bidoof is so common (Zigzagoon was sooooo much cooler), I don't need multiple of them.

FireRed Nuzlocke

Matias: Level 7 Bulbasaur
dramonic: Level 3 Rattata (it reminds me of the old match a pokemon to a user thread)

I guess I will name pokemon after users of this site. Dupes allowed, same rules as last time, though I didn't need the second chance on the lab fight

Reck if you haven't started this yet dibs on being your rival cause I'm about to start a Fire Red. No NPC means like Snorlax/Legend Birds/Mewtwo yeah? I'm going to see how far I get without buying items but that may change. People can request a pokemon for me to name after them if they want. I may just end up doing derpy names.

You could even do a rivalesque challenge, where you use your team to battle on a simulator after each gym or something like that.

No duplicates
I can't capture any Pokemon in the same evolutionary chain as one I've already caught
I get to have NPC Pokemon yay
I can use items like Antidote, Paralyze Heal etc. outside of battle. Nothing that actually restores life though.
Am I forgetting anything?

okay, team update: I've gotten into Oreville, and beaten the trainers before the gym, but noticed that Roark's craniados has pursuit (Looked up on Bulbapedia prior). So, because my pokes were otherwise right on level, I decided to avoid battling and go gain some levels first. (Was level 12 on the two needed prior)

I now have:

Mumble the Prinplup (5-16)
Jese James the Bidoof *cough* He sucks *cough* (3-11)
Frightful the Staravia (3-14)
and two new additions since last:
Zorro the Budew (Met route 202, 4-16)
Mystogan the Abra (5-10)

I knew that Abra could pop up a ton on route 203, so I bought a bunch of repels before going to Oreburgh. If you look, upstairs in one of the apartments along the back or oreburgh, a lady gives you a dusk ball. Went back and after a bidoof and two starly, got an abra to pop up. First time, since I think the dusk ball at night is at least a ultra ball's power. Taught him the TM given in the school for defeating the two abras (Hidden Power) still don't know what hidden power it is.

Also repelled through the Oreburgh cave on Route 203. Might want something after I rock smash that isn't a zubat or geodude. Did not catch anything in the mine. Was a geodude, so I just killed it. Am currently training Frightful, Mystogan (10 points if you get the reference) and Jese James on route 203, since everything is level 4 or 5 and doesn't resist normal moves like tackle. Damn geodudes... Great fodder for Mumble and Zorro, not so good for Frightful and useless Jese. Poor Jese, completely trolled.

Zorro has been priceless. Already knows mega drain, stun spore and Growth, will be a setup boss. BAUS. I mean, Parahax, megadrain on a +2 SpA is probably going to be undefeatable once I add venoshock to cover all it's resistances.

New game. Asked scumchat and TraceyLyn said I should start with Charmander. Took 3 save states to get a female but finally had Tracey the Charmander. After going through all the errands for Oak encountered a female lvl 2 Pidgey on Rt 1, picked her up and named her Birdbrain on Faraday's suggestion. Made it to Viridian and smartly decided to grind up Birdbrain a bit before risking the poison in the forest. She gets 2 hit crit by a Rattata. WELP. So Tracey is probably lvl 7 or 8, decide to try my luck in the forest, caught a lvl 4 Caterpie, which I was happy about. Was also female and I was watching Friends so she became Phoebe. So me, Pheebs and Tracey head back to Rt. 1 and start grinding, which is terribly slow but w/e. Once Phoebe is a bit stronger I head over to Rt. 22 to pick up a 3rd, and I luck out and encounter a lvl 4 Mankey. It's another girl, cause the ladies love me, so PMS is added to the team. We head to the forest. PMS gets poisoned once and I made a stressful walk back to the PC in Viridian, had to use a potion to make it back alive but we manage. Clear the forest after that and on the last trainer I get enough xp for Phoebe to hit 10 and become Phoebe Buffree. PMS learned Low Kick too, so with my team at 9, 10, 10 I heal up and go to get dat Boulder Badge. Low Kick, Low Kick, Low Kick, everyone's dead. Thanks for the badge Brock, peace out.

Team

Klazam just wants to be me.

@Aj: My game I think I left at home (on vaca now). I think I haven't named my bidoof yet because all you people suck. So yeah, it's just idling there.

I'll get back to it within a week.

Just an fyi, when going through eterna with Chereyl, do a lot of training there. She heals after every fight and you get the full weight of two exp pokes while only having one on the field. I didn't leave until every poke was up to 19.

My team is going to have some severe issues unless I can find some lightning resistance. Zorro alone won't cut it. Mystogan is not a tank (no Alakazam was ever meant to tank) Bidoof is actually a good tank (now Biaberl or something) with almost 20 more hip points than the next closest.Just sucks that it doesn't have any worthwhile moves other than roll out and water gun. I think I may have to grab a geodude... I was hoping to get Rilou and then take a break before getting Lucario, but it seems that's too far away with all the little shinx and pachirisus now knowing sparks. 3 of 5 on my team have issues with elec, one has resistance but no counter. The last can't take hits.

I had a really close call after the eterna gym (easy, btw... Frightful and Mystogan rolled her). The Plasma leader Jupiter's Skuntank actually tanks and it kept using screech/Night slash (which has 1/12 chance to crit over 1/16, I think... Maybe even 1/8). It brought three pokes to red (Jese, Mumble, Zorro) and was only in yellow. Luckily, I had it paralyzed from Zorro and it chose to screech on the turn in by Frightful before I STAB Wing Attacked it to death. Mysto was trapped, type disadvantage and Frightful probably would only take one hit. I probably could've lost right there, had Frightful not killed it.

All right. Just an fyi for you all, I intend very much to beat the E4 with a bibarel. A no-death nuzlocke, let's get it!

I remember my last budew...solomon, I called it. The abandoned prince of a royal family, proud, ambitious, caring...I had a story line for him. He had a romance with my Crobat. He had hopes.
HE HAD DREAMS
.

And then he died. It would have been more manageable if it was a noble death--a sacrifice, a death to the elite four, ANYTHING.

It was a grinding accident.

Aj, it doesn't matter. Grind them like hell. Types and power will always lose to the power of love. :D And please keep Zorro alive...

(it feels weird posting in the pokemon thread directly after posting about bondage in F62. Oh well.)
