Where are you guys at on your Nuzlocke playthrough?

NO! CHAMI!

An onix got a crit on me. I'm not sure if I can go on any more.. Betsy barely survived with 3 HP.

Freaking crit hax.


edit:



;_; Stupid Swellow staying alive with about 4 HP and getting a critical Wing Attack.

RIP, Mint.

Well, i found my old copy of emerald today, and im going to try this out.
think ill go by these rules:

1. Catch the first Pokemon you encounter in each route/cave/whatever and nothing else. If you fail to catch it, too bad, continue onwards.

2. If you Pokemon faints, consider it dead and release it.

3. Must give each pokemon its own nickname. Cannot simply rename it its old name in lower-case.

4. No HM-mules.

I completed a run of this on my Leaf Green a little while ago. I think my final team consisted of a level 54 Snorlax, Articuno, Electrode, and Golbat. (I raise my Pogeys equally. Or try to.)

I think by the time I cleared the E4, I only had Snorlax and Articuno left. True bros.

Just got to victory road with 43 Blaziken, 40 Vibrava, 40 Absol, 37 Tropious (or however you spell it) 36 Gyarados and a 36 Linoone.

Ugh. This is going to be rough.

Touhoumon extra or insane on Nuzloke mode is virtually impossible.

I got to misty though

FUC'KING POOCHYENA! so far my team is 1 poochyena, 1 dustox, and 1 torchic. so far every area i've run into has given me either poochyena or wurmple/its evolution. havent gotten to the first gym yet... so damned annoyed that not one of my team can really put up any kind of a fight against Roxanne.

Catch the extras. They make good scapegoats for gaining an extra turn to pot (assuming you're following neither the SET rule nor no healing rule). And choosing Torchic was just a bad idea.

It's my fourth attempt or so on Emerald (I tend to do stuff recklessly) but it's gone really smoothly so far. I just beat Brawly:

Taillow survived with 4 HP after I killed off a Pooch to pot.

I dont do duplicates of useless things. id rather kill them than have 4 poochyena's.
i always have played on Set-mode. what i do though is when im at the E4, i take it as if those matches are judged, so for them and them alone ill switch to the other setting mode.

and mnegh, i like torchic. gonna go back to emerald tonight (been trying to go through the Arcade in HG to get the gold print there (...effing sunny day - overheat charizard...)), and so far i think my team's just the one pooch, at about level 4... then my dustox and torchic, both ~10.

That's pretty cruel.

About my own playthrough, I'm too intimidated by Rock Tunnel to go on any further.

Flannery is a bish.

Starting mine now. Playing a Sapph Rom. Went with mah Kips. "Splash" is his name.

Not planning on using potions, but am using SWITCH(?) battle style. May or may not change.

~~~~~
Almost lost to May or w/e her name is. Two Mudslaps cut Treeco's acc by 2 stages, but the pineappleer kept hitting me. Landed a crit. 5 HP left. Two more of his Pounds missed and I got off two Tackles for the KO.

Splash is now 7.

I've found wild pokemon in the first two Routes before the game even let me have Pokeballs. Do those count, now that I have some?

Mudkip's only a meme until it evolves; it's excellent for gyms 1, 3, and (in theory) 4, and any Flying-type can take care of May's Treecko + gym 2. That was my reasoning.

Edit: Didn't refresh forever. My bad.

Russt, your abilities are cast into doubt if Flannery can KO your Marshtomp.

Already lost a wingul to a Swellow's 1st form Quick Attack. ;-; Just splash and some crappy zigzangoon, levels 11 and 4, respectively. Why can't I find nice pokemon, like Wally and his Ralts?

Russt, I am curious. How did you manage to loose a Marshtomp to Flannery?

It is indeed troubling to see that you lost a ground/water type to a fire gym... thats like losing a gengar to an eevee with nothing but normal-moves.

i had that dilemma too, and i just went with the "if you fail to catch it, move along" route and didnt go back. what sucks is the area 103, or route, w/e, where you first fight your rival in R/S/E, i ran into a wingull, and have yet to do so since.

also, the area where you take wally to catch his ralts, first thing i see there was the wurmple that became my dustox, and lo and behold the second thing i see there is ralts. life's not fair i tell ya.

Caught an abra outside of the dark tunnel area right outside of rustboro. im happy and all, but, what the hell do i do with it? its only got teleport. -_-
gonna try to level up my dustox and poochyena to take on roxanne.

Hit Petalberge Forest or w/e. Another Zigzagoon. God dammit. Then this Team Aqua douche surprises me with Splash only having 12/34 HP. Not losing this early in the game. D:<

Poochyena's spamming Sand Attack on mah ZigZafail. I lost him, which is cool and all, but he poses a serious threat against Splash now....

Abra? Lucky peach. Alakazam's going to be fun to use. Just have it lead, then switch to a tank.

Edit:
Or Splash could come in and 1hko it. Lawl for over training. Almost 13 now.

at best it'll be a kadabra. i cant trade it, i dont have a copy of ruby or sapphire handy to do so.
and really, i dont like the whole abra-line. sure they're great and all, but i dont like how they look. i seriously would've preferred that ralts over this stupid dustox. i found a wurmple in the forest area as my first, and killed it out of rage for it not being a shroomish or a slakoth.

Playing a Rom or RL game? Kadabra is still really high on the charts for Sp Attack.\

Route outside of the Forest: ZigZaGoon.

Sick of these pineappleers.

If this keeps up, I'll be doing a solo run with Splash.

im using a physical copy of emerald.
though im taking a break on and off of nuzlocke to both work on my HG frontier team, and drawing a weezing for something on smogon. figured it'd be a good way to get my ass in the mood to draw again.
