The Pokemon Nuzlocke Thread

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

I'm done with this.

[Chevre]

Emeralds: What are we doing with Route 116? Some options include:

- Battle all the trainers, catch a Poke from the route and Rusturf Tunnel
- Just catch a poke from the route, no trainers
- Don't touch it.

[Maestro]

uh, you kinda have to get to Rusturf Tunnel, because you have to save Peeko to get Briney to take you to Dewford for Stephen's Letter and the next Gym

I vote option 1, but I fell behind because I've been doing other shit - you already had an Emerald showdown battle? (somebody still needs to explain that, btw)

[Chevre]

No, hold on! What I'm saying is that you can access Route 116 and Rusturf Tunnel before the gym battle. I was wondering if we can use those before our showdown and the Gym battle.

[Maestro]

I vote do whatever, why do there need to be so many rules on what you can do in what order? the game is fairly linear - where it isn't, let people make their own choices or it's not fun

[Chevre]

CHILL. This is the only rule so far. The game seems to want you to battle Roxanne first, then do Route 116--but I know that's not always the case.

[Klazam]

I vote do whatever.


Maestro- How to do a showdown battle:

Right before you battle any gymleader- go to the site, make a team, of EXACTLY what you have. adjust stats to match exactly, nature, moveset, then save the team, and wait for everyone to be ready. Whilst you're waiting, you can still move forward with the game, because the site saves teams, which is pretty nice.

When everyone's ready, we do round robin matches, for fun.

[SleepyKrew]

If the area is accessible prior to the Gym then go for it.

Also, we decided that the only two places in Emerald with the same name that count as different places are the Desert and whatever route it's on (this means that 104 counts as one Route).

[Maestro]

that's horseshit, I have to choose between a Nincada and a Whismur?

[SleepyKrew]

...What?
The Route above Rustoboro and the Tunnel definitely have different names.

[Maestro]

oh, ok

was unclear

[Klazam]

Clarification- Pokemon along a evolutionary line that you already have a pokemon of, all counts as dupes.

(SKrew and my ruling)

[Maestro]

too many Silcoons and Cascoons in Petalburg Woods, I guess? *snicker*

I haven't gotten there yet but if I get a Slakoth too I get to laugh :3

[Chevre]

Also, don't forget -- if you caught a Poke, it dies, and then you encounter another of that Poke further along, you have the choice to catch it as your first encounter or count it as a dupe encounter.

ALSO: I'm prepared for Roxanne, I think. My team:
1 Lv. 13
1 Lv. 12
1 Lv. 11
1 Lv. 7
2 Lv. 6

So team level total of 55.

[BS2000]

Anybody wanna do silver with me?

So far I gots a Lv 9 Chikorita named Denver
Lv 5 Spearow named Birmingham
Lv 5 Pidgey named Aikido

Sucks ass cause I have an old silver GBC cartridge with a dead battery so its plugged into my super game boy and my SNES is being left on cause I can't save it. So I hope my SNES isn't gonna start smoking.

[SleepyKrew]

2 Lv. 12
2 Lv. 10
1 Lv. 9
1 Lv. 8

and a level 8 or 9 in the box

Active team: level 61

[animorpherv1]

Wedlock rules

Should I go for it?

EDIT: Going for it!

[Brandi]

I wonder how long it will take for roms to be made once X and Y are released.

Nuzlocke's of XY will probably be the most depressing, with the whole new "Pokemon amie" feature where you give extra love and attention to your pokemans

[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.

[Maestro]

I'm guessing you've been having them avenge? in that case I'd feel lucky they were all replaceable

you should pair kdowns with somebody whose type weaknesses he's strong against so he doesn't have as big a chance of dying while having to avenge

[animorpherv1]

I ended up replacing BIDOOF with esurio with Shellos.

[Maestro]

bumping, I forgot to save on my Emerald apparently...I got all the way past the Woods but now I'm back at Petalburg and I gotta help that shitface Wally again - I have my Ralts though, so the world is fine

[Haschel Cedricson]

Alright, I'm in for Emerald. Starting now with Safeco the Treecko.

[SleepyKrew]

I really need to do this over the weekend.
