My run just died to Misty so on to Platinum I go.

MVP was @GrySun who reached Level 23 and would've carried had it not been for some Fisty from Misty. Also @Evil3ye death was completely unavoidable because there was an antidote just off-screen above that battle

Yeah Misty is probably the biggest powercreep in firered until the elite four. I always overlevel to fight her lol (the fact that I always start with Charmander doesn't help either).

Which one was I?

This thing sounds fun, but at the same time Pokemon games are pretty easy so couldn‘t one just overlevel and not worry in any Nuzlocke?

K hacked Heartgold, starting later.

Changes made:

Moves and stats updated to gen 5.

Text is faster.

Pokémon names are lowcase now.

Trade evos and other impossible shit now are possible.

Going to follow my own rules a bit. Going to get a single reroll to avoid repeats (unless I'm "manipulating" the encounter like playing at X time of the day, that's too much). Shiny clause. Not a single city Pokémon. Here we go.

Not rly you can always fuck up and get it to faint. You don't notice playing normally as there are no consequences but happens a bunch.

Recap so far:

>Randomly got the grass starter. I'll finally play with Chikorita! Oh yeeeeeeeeeenooooooooooo.
>RNG made us fight a ton of Metapods so we smashed our rival's Cyndaquil.
>I start emulating horizontally after accidentally pressing on the Pokegear and calling my mom 3 times.
>The PO-lice asks me the name of the evil bastard that stole the Cyndaquil. I ain't no snitch so I refuse to give him a name.
>Wait I can't refuse. OK his name is Ustwo, happy!?
>As I leave town I see the lonely Totodile pokeball looking at me. "You know you want me" it says, and it's right.
>Massive hat girl tutorials me how to catch a poke. I end up encountering a Rattata... that dies to a critical hit. WELP.
>First route pokes hate me for this, keep appearing and I begrudgingly use a potion on my starter who is down to 5 hp... just before it gets rit by 11 damage from a level 3 Pidgey. Close one.
>Ok now onto Route 30... a level 2 Pidgey. Alright just going to hit it once and... oh it's dead. WELP.
>Mom calls me saying she wants to steal my money. Uh no thanks mom?
>Route 31... a level 4 caterpie. I start shoving balls at it without attacking. After 2 balls I forget my plan and attack anyway... it survives YAY. Got it!... It's a girl... well, Farfalla it is!
>I ran back with Farfalla killing her own kin in unnecessarily hard bug to bug battles.
>Hey you know how I said I won't take any city Pokemon? You know which one is the veeery first city Pokemon? Yeah that's right:


48 minutes played, game starts now '-'

Good luck Farfalla! Too bad you didn't finally get some positive experiences with the non-non-Chikorita in this run :XD

Btw, Christmas is off guys. It's a Sneasel.

Omg, HC Metapod run. I love it. Hack an Everstone in the game and you have my respect if you finish E4 with a Metapod.

Also, goddamn Sneasel, ruining our fun.

Squad:
"Farfalla" Lv. 4, Rash (+SpA -SpD). (Route 31, Lv.4.)
"Obligation" Lv. 11, Hardy. (Starter, Lv.5.)

>As progressing with a level 4 Caterpie is no bueno I grind her ('-') until she becomes a level 9 Metapod. This took almost 25 minutes........
>The most remarkable moment was me almost running out of Tackle PP against another Metapod.



>Farfalla learnt Harden. Plot twist!?
>I blindly go inside the Dark Cave. It's surprisingly dark. Can't see shit. Shortly after I leave the cave with a level 3 Geodude, Dudette. She's holding an Everstone, is surprisingly fast but has lower attack. Damn
>I grab Rock Smash and teach her because why not. I skip the ruins of yawn, no unowns for me.
>Encounter a level 4 Zubat in Route 32. Like the beautiful vampire he is I name him Gaj Smash,
>We all happily go into the Sprout tower. Gaj goes in first and fights 3 Bellsprouts on his own. He's out of pp but victorious.
>Farfalla evolves! Sorry not sorry Ust.
>As I'm playing at night a Lv.4 Gastly appears (85%) YAY. Gajeel was the only one that could touch it but has no PP. NAY.
>I throw a premier ball for swag but no success. 5 normie balls later and Hermie (+Spe -SpD) joins the party.
>Farfalla kills Bellsprouts and Gastlys left and right as I notice @Gajeel is Modest (+SpA -Atk) and fucking useless. Dammit Gaj.
>My rival is on top of the tower... scary, time to heal just in case.
>He uses a escape rope haha what a coward.
>Ok... I should grind now because type disadvantage in the gym. My Lv.12 Butterfree and Lv.10 Gastly that can't even touch birds won't be enough.
<Just kidding, I can't be arsed let's go.
>A million sand attacks and a precautionary trip to the PokeCenter later and we are in front of Falkner.
>Falkner destroyed Ustwo' brother years ago prematurely ending his career, we cannot be carelees.
<Just kidding, let's lead with Farfalla. She slams Pidgey out and stuns Pidgeotto. For some reason I switch her out for Dudette. Dudette naturally does absolute no damage so Farfalla goes back in. On top of that we are almost out of potions and stun is barely triggering if at all, that rng...
>Farfalla crits and we win. Rng good Falkner bad get bent.
>Prof calls me. YO BRO YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT THIS EGG CRACKED.
>Yeah whatever you can keep that shit.

END OF SESSION
"Farfalla" Lv. 12, Rash (+SpA -SpD). (Route 31, Lv.4.) Quick tempered
"Hermie" Lv.10, Naive (+Spe -SpD). (Sprout Tower, Lv.4.) Mischievous
"Dudette" Lv.10, Timid (+Spe -Atk). (Dark Cave, Lv.3.) Likes to run ('-'''''''''''')
"Gaj Smash" Lv.7, Modest (+SpA -Atk). (Route32, Lv.4.) Likes to relax
"Obligation" Lv. 11, Hardy. (Starter, Lv.5.)

As I write this I accidentally reloaded a save state and lost the last 30 minutes of progress and have to fight again FUCK
--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---

Ok, all fixed. Confusion goes Brrrr birds go down.

Dudette is 2 levels lower and Farf one higher but all good. Forgot to buy potions after throwing away the two I wasted in the previous run so Pidgeotto got scary BUT he got confused and killed himself like a stupid idiot

Pokemon HG Nuzlocke Part II

>I start to regret giving my phone number to everyone like a slut, Joey and Wade are insufferable. "YO I ONESHOT A BELLSPROUT HAHAHA... i kinda feel bad about it... WELL SEE YA!"
>I become a timelord and manipulate the dates to meet the week siblings now that I have my first badge. I go back to meet Tuscanny and get twisted spoon, Farfalla will love it.
>NPC FORCES me to grab the damn egg. So I go to the Pokemart, grab it and buy potions (might as well). Kimono lady stops me as I leave the mart, talking some mystical mumbo jumbo because I got an egg. Lady I just came out of the Mart, they sell them by the dozen, jeez.
>The asshole NPC that made me go back gives me his miracle seed. First of all, ew. Second, that will be very useful for the coming Bug gym, thanks man...
>As we move on, Hermie leads the way licking everything in our path, with very little effect. Remarkably, a Mareep that can only attack with Tackle paralyses him and lowers his attack until the minimum. So all this bitch sheep is doing is annoy me. 10 lickities and 4 paralysed turns later she goes to hell and we go on. After this Herm leaves his Spite behind to learn how to curse.
>His highlight is winning a 1v4 fight against Magikarps (ONE WAS Lv. 15 THOUGH AND SPLASHED REAL GOOD). I meet another week sibling with my timelord powers (getting Poison barb), got some free balls and entered the cave.
>Encounter is a geodude, killed it using my clause. My reroll is a Lv.5 Zubat... booo. Well, might as well catch her. Named her Dennise and she... IS ADAMANT WOOOOOO. DESIN>GAJEEL.
>Route 33... Zubat... God bless my clause or I'd be Batman right now... Ok the next encounter was a Rattata, Lv.7, his name will be Top %. I skip a hiker to heal, then go back to kick his ass... then he almost one shots Hermie with a crit rock throw (WHY DOES THIS EVEN WORK ON GHOSTS!?).
>Team Rocket story, Kurt goes after them like a badass. I'm going right after you buddy! ... but first I must get my encounter in the forest nearby. Lv.5 Oddish, "Blaze it".
>Slowpoke well goes ez pz although I accidentally ignore a battle there. I go back to catch my encounter, a Lv.6 Slowpoke. He's bold and has a sturdy body... Gregorykun it is!
>Rival Ustwo ganks me while I'm fucking around in town, oh no! I paralyse his Quilava but it hits really hard, taking 50% of Farf's hp... it gladly goes down using Smokescreen, but that was a close call... I should be more careful...
<Just Kidding we go in the gym and smash everything, very Ez for a Gastly (and a Butterfree). Hermie learnt Night Shade so he is far from a liability now. Annoyingly you have to really go out of your way to fight everyone but it is what it is. Bugsy's Scyther got a lucky U-turn crit on Hermie, but even like that and his mighty Kakuna and Metapod stood no chance (didn't even bring out Farfalla, Hermie soloed).
>Farfetch'd fetch quest to get HM Cut. I take too long to get the second stupid bird, but I guess that makes me the stupid one... Rest time.

Yay, go Hermie, lick it now, lick it good ;)

Time to level up the dude though, as he can't lick that Milkey pussy just like he should lol

Noooo Jessica :crying

Jessica was falling bit behind in strength, have not had a good move set and I dont have useful TMs as well, so I though it would be the best choice for a switch. She did put in some good work before going down though. I am thinking to go into serious fights with a team of 5 fighters, and a bench switcher from now on though.

I leveled Mailboy a bit in last grinding session so he evolves, just in case I lose Kiky or Hope to have a water backup because Knight is not cutting it.

I have started my Platinum Nuzlocke, and just got the second badge so I thought I'd do an update post!

The team:
Sakura, Level 23. Bold Nature. Moves: Flame Wheel, Ember, Mach Punch, Taunt.

Hardy, Level 22. Calm Nature. Moves: Wing Attack, Quick Attack, Double Team, Endeavour.

Milly, Level 21. Docile Nature. Moves: Bite, Tackle, Splash. (Yes it's shiny, couldn't believe my luck!)

Bob, Level 20. Calm Mature. Moves: Confusion, Disable, Teleport

Ustegius, Level 19. Hardy Nature. Moves: Spark, Charge, Bite, Tackle.

Pompom, Level 16. Bashful Nature. Moves: Scratch, Tickle, Sand-Attack, Astonish.

The Bench:
Farf, Level 6.
Revo, Level 7.
Syx, Level 5.
Vici, Level 10.
Linali, Level 3.

The Graveyard:
Elusia, Level 10.

The story so far...
Day 1:
- Chimchar is our starter (trainer-card method), named Sakura. Bold nature (yuck)
- Lake Verity encounter is Starly (Hardy). Captured. Calm nature (yuck)
- Route 201 encounter is Bidoof (Elusia)
- Route 202 encounter is Shinx (Ustegius)
- Old Rod on Route 218 fished up a SHINY MAGIKARP (Milly)
- Abra encounter on Route 203
- Oreburgh Cave encounter is Psyduck
- Route 207 encounter is Ponyta
- GRINDING TIME
- Hardy and Sakura evolve pre-gym while we try and get Milly and Bob's levels up
- Sakura sweeps Roark
- Bob gets some exp off team galactic and evolves
Day 2:
- Check Floroama Meadow Honey Tree, find Aipom
- Aipom kills Elusia so we catch the Aipom as a replacement.
- Breeze through to Eterna City, catching Wurmple along the way (Forgot to do 205 and Windworks Encounters)
- Sakura and Hardy smack Gardenia
- Now it is time to get some levels up on the weaker 'mons for Jupiter... also might check out the route to the right of Eterna for an encounter 🤔

Yeah, that team setup seems really good. Go go Ust the Luxray.

I'm taking a break from my nuzlocke challenge, because of getting bored a little. Will continue later though.

Also, lost the auction on X. The prise rose to almost 50e during the last hour of auction. Didn't realize it is so much in demand. I knew the older games are wanted stuff, but XY isn't that old.

>Next he brings out that Geoko thing and sets up Electro terrain while I Metal sound and hope to Thunderbolt him after
>he is obviously quicker and goes for attack first and its FOCUS BLAST OMG!
>R2 survives on a sliver of health and doesn't kill him in return, he is left with red health too
>jesus christ, I have no one who can take an attack and then an other one STAB and buffed by terrain so I decide to sacrifce Mailboy
>Mailboy tanks the fucking Blast with a sliver of health and kills with quick attack the next turn OMG! my Boy!
>I run out of trainers and go back to route 18 to grind till Diesel catches up with levels and I go to terminus cave to explore and grind
>leave Kiky in the box and get HM slave Knightmare out, because cave...
>So many troublesome pokemon and moves in the cave, man
>each wild pokemon and trainer has at least one Rock, Fighting or Steel move that almost kills any of my leads, because no one really can tank anything from that except Hope, so It's super hard to progress and I heal up everyone even who is not leading to full health all the time because I need to switch constantly to counter the respective types
>towards the end I challenge a last trainer outside on route 18 to get it all done and its a blackbelt with team of two
>his first poke almost kills my lead so although I have no PP on attacking moves on Hope I bring him out to Slack off and use a PP berry on Psychic
>the first poke dies and he comes with Dark/Fighting Pangoro, fml
>Uses Power-up punch while I slack offand then an other and I get nervous if he has a move like Knock-off so I switch to Diesel, who gets also serious damage now and is obviously outsped by Pangoro
>Knight comes out to protect Diesel and dies in combat, RIP, and Vendetta finishs off opponent with super effective Low Sweep
>at the town exit Professor Sychomor comes and attacks me with the Kanto starters lmao!
>he leads with Venosaur and I have Diesel up front so I set up two Amnesias while he Petal Dances me
>Diesel then slowly kills his whole team
>I proceed to route 19, but realize its the last town with the 8th gym and have like only two or three encounters left, fuck
>because the route has like different terrains with purple flowers, yellow flowers, swamp and water, I Max Repel my way through to later return and look up the rates of encounters and pick something suitable that fits in, rather than total random
>I avoid most of the trainers and collect some items to head to the exit of the route and Shawna Loli stops me at the bridge, ugh
>she says guess what comes now and the options are battle and don't know, so I do don't know in hope to change up my lead in preparation but she fights me anyway lmao
>Battles are fine but she damages my mons heavy despite being 10-ish levels under mine
>THEN, the chubby dancer and nerd kid also appear and want to fight wtf!
>R2D2 one shots his fire bird and Crab dude and kills Roserade with a couple hits of the dancer guy
>nerd next, he is nice enough to heal me up before fighting me at least, but R2D2 is still up front and gets almost killed by his Raichu for missing so two Metal sounds lol
>he comes at me with Aerodacyl next so I switch to kiky who tanks a hit and then an other before one shotting him with surf
>his final is Florages who sets up Misty Terrain while I try to Surf again but to little damage
>I switch to Play rough but it just goes to half into yellow still
>he comes at me with Energy Ball OMG and CRIT HITS ONE SHOTS KIKY NOOOOOO ;-;
>Vendetta revenge kills with Posion Jab, that fucking nerd twat, and we have a stupid reminiscing emotional story moment with all friends together, fuck off, right after you killed my switch wall want to talk about how many great memories we had, I will fuck you up bro!!! :mad:crying
>anyways, I am in next town now and realize my team is super unbalanced, but not just that but also super slow so I am pretty fucked
>I will look up the next move sets from here on and see what other two encounters I have to prepare for elite for
>strategy think will be going in bit overleveled and carry through with as little casualties as possible and who ever remains will have to dope the shit out of the survivors with X Defense and bulk through the champ....


RIP Sweetie. An awesome wall and chip away damage you were!


Well, I guess RIP to you too HMs-bro

Oh damn that was a rollercoaster. Started happy with MailMAN stepping up (always believed in him!) and then it went downhill quick.

I didn't know Trevor (?) had such a nasty team at the end, good on him tbh, the bastard.

I have started my Platinum Nuzlocke, and just got the second badge so I thought I'd do an update post!

The team:
Sakura, Level 23. Bold Nature. Moves: Flame Wheel, Ember, Mach Punch, Taunt.

Hardy, Level 22. Calm Nature. Moves: Wing Attack, Quick Attack, Double Team, Endeavour.

Milly, Level 21. Docile Nature. Moves: Bite, Tackle, Splash. (Yes it's shiny, couldn't believe my luck!)

Bob, Level 20. Calm Mature. Moves: Confusion, Disable, Teleport

Ustegius, Level 19. Hardy Nature. Moves: Spark, Charge, Bite, Tackle.

Pompom, Level 16. Bashful Nature. Moves: Scratch, Tickle, Sand-Attack, Astonish.

The Bench:
Farf, Level 6.
Revo, Level 7.
Syx, Level 5.
Vici, Level 10.
Linali, Level 3.

The Graveyard:
Elusia, Level 10.

The story so far...
Day 1:
- Chimchar is our starter (trainer-card method), named Sakura. Bold nature (yuck)
- Lake Verity encounter is Starly (Hardy). Captured. Calm nature (yuck)
- Route 201 encounter is Bidoof (Elusia)
- Route 202 encounter is Shinx (Ustegius)
- Old Rod on Route 218 fished up a SHINY MAGIKARP (Milly)
- Abra encounter on Route 203
- Oreburgh Cave encounter is Psyduck
- Route 207 encounter is Ponyta
- GRINDING TIME
- Hardy and Sakura evolve pre-gym while we try and get Milly and Bob's levels up
- Sakura sweeps Roark
- Bob gets some exp off team galactic and evolves
Day 2:
- Check Floroama Meadow Honey Tree, find Aipom
- Aipom kills Elusia so we catch the Aipom as a replacement.
- Breeze through to Eterna City, catching Wurmple along the way (Forgot to do 205 and Windworks Encounters)
- Sakura and Hardy smack Gardenia
- Now it is time to get some levels up on the weaker 'mons for Jupiter... also might check out the route to the right of Eterna for an encounter 🤔
Small update:
- Jupiter went fine
- Fucked around in the underground and found an armor fossil
- Get to the 3rd trainer on cycling road who has Ponyta. Training Bob up so "le confusion". Ponyta lives and responds with a crit flamewheel to kill off our wonderful Bob :emocat Gomenasorry @goldb, you were meant to be the MVP 😭

Ugh, I returned to Route 19 and decided my luck on Surf, because it was the savest not having any more stupid unevolving trade bugs.

Had ratio of 50% Quagsire, 34% Stunkfish and 16% Sliggoo,

and damn it I got a lame stink fish... It has Endure though, so I am thinking to do a scummy set like Endure, Toxic, Protect and Leftover. Does anyone know if Endure+Leftover is working the way I think it is working?

Why Endure + Protect? They lower each other's rates, might as well only run protect.
