The Nuzlocke Challenge! Pokemon Hardmode!

Well... ummm... I lost Pearl on a bus, so that run has to be scrapped. I've started up a FireRed run, although I'm only about 10 minutes in so arse all has happened. This is just to let you know it's up and running.

Team


Bismarck lvl 7 [M]. (I'm playing FireRed, I'm using FireRed sprites)

Like I said, I'm really, really early in the game.

Ooook. My harddrive crashed and wasn't fixed for 2 weeks, and would've cost $100 (USD) extra to revive my emulator save file and decided that just wasn't worth it.
SO my Emerald run has been lost. But I've started a Red Version run!

TEAM
Freddy M- Charmeleon, Level 32

Nicepeter- Nidoking, Level 30

Mr. Rogers- Kadabra, Level 29

Kassem- Vileplume, Level 26

Dante- Eevee, Lvel 25

Reginald- Beedrill, Level 23



Right now I'm in the Rocket Hideout at Gamecorner in Celadon, trying to get the SilphScope. Yayyy.

I sort of forgot to update, but I started a new LeafGreen run recently... And I successfully beat it ^^ I swear there is no better feeling than beating a Nuzlocke Challenge

Team was:
Dylan, Venusaur, lv. 60
Corey, Pidgeot, lv. 55
Cruz, Sandslash, lv. 55
Lars, Snorlax, lv. 55
Ashley, Raichu, lv. 56
LApis, Lapras, lv. 56

Actually I'm not completely sure with the levels, but smt like that ^^

I've been planning to do a Pearl run, and make a proper comic out of it. I just started reading a White one on dA, and it got me inspired ^^

Lots happened. Forgot to update.

Caught Daphne the Rattata, but it died. Caught Henry the Mankey, beat Gary, also caught Adrian the Pidgey. Went through Viridian Forest. Beat Brock, caught Rhys the NidoranMale, bought a Magikarp for a reasonable price but Henry died in Mt. Moon! But Bismarck, Adrian and Rhys all evolved there, so it he was avenged!

I had a reeeeaal tough time with Misty, but I pulled through in the end. Moonstone'd Rhys to eveolve him to a Nidoking! Travelled to Vermillion, soundly beat both Gary and Lt. Surge, and continued onward. Caught a whole load of shit, went through FUCKING ROCK TUNNEL, where Bismarck evolved into a mighty Charizard! Caught Belle the Oddish (named in homage to the great Belle that helped me beat SoulSilver). Ate the Celedon Gym for dinner, recieved a Hitmonchan from the Fighting Dojo, and named him Jefferson. Also recieved Gilly the Eevee!

Just finished an awesome Nuzlocke run on Crystal.

Team right now is:

Lynnie the Jynx (shiny)
Swirl the Politoed
Basil the Murkrow
Threepio the Magneton
Snorer the Snorlax
Kaboom the Golem

It was on Emulator though, so I had to cheat a little to get Golem and Politoed. Lynnie, Basil and Swirl turned out to be real bros (yet Lynnie is a girl). I am reporting as of beating Red right now.

Other Pokémon I used were:

Ace the Pidgeot
Totter the Feraligatr
Thorn the Tyranitar
Rageguy the Gyarados
Freya the Misdreavus

Best run ever, did not have a lot of casualities (actually just one, Ballon the Jigglypuff). May she rest in peace.

IT HAS BEEN DONE

My FireRed Nuzlocke has been completed! While hidiously underleveled, too!

I'm not going too in-depth about my journey to the E4, exept that I caught a load of crap, and that Rhys passed away just before the seventh gym... he shall be missed...

Caught my first solid replacement for Rhys, Catherine the Marowak, in Victory Road. The Elite 4 were actually, really, really easy. Kieran was a huge help, he destroyed three of the four almost single handedly. But Gary, ooooh he was a different kettle of fish. I have never been so frustrated at a trainer battle in my LIFE. But, I pulled through, and was crowned the Pokemon League Champion!

FINAL TEAM


Bismarck lvl 52 [M], Adrian lvl 51 [M], Gilly lvl 52 [M], Jefferson lvl 47 [M], Kieran lvl 50 [M], Catherine lvl 45 [F].

Fin

So, after the perfect Crystal run I just did, I decided to do it again. Crystal this time around again (for some reason I do all my Nuzlockes on Crystal). I'll be updating the team in my signature. I have just defeated the Kimono Girls as I write. (Long post)

Game of Choice: Pokemon Platinum
Completion Status: Roark and Gardenia defeated, working my way up Galactic's Eterna Headquarters.
Trainer Name: Samuel
- Name Origin: Samuel Vekkner, Trainer from Beyond The Horizon's first act, born August 29, 1994, deceased May 19, 2013. Samuel was the first Trainer I ever created for stories, and, along with his Pokemon, is the only survivor of that early period of BTH. I felt it fitting that he would be honored as such here.

Current Pokemon Team

Mikhail:
Monferno, male, level 18
Ability is Blaze, Nature is Hasty
Captured Route 201, Starter Pokemon
HP: 55
Atk: 35
Def: 24
Sp. Atk: 34
Sp. Def: 27
Speed: 42
Current Stat Total: 217
Knows Scratch, Mach Punch, Ember, and Fury Swipes
Stat wise, Mikhail is the best of the team. Though the levels are currently uneven, when all is said and done he usually leads in HP, Sp. Atk, and Sp. Def. His moveset is pure attacks, making use of his relatively high speed and good Attacking stats to defeat Pokemon quickly. Despite his higher HP, his Defenses means he can't take too many hits before another Pokemon has to bail him out.
Mikhail is named for Makar "Mikhail" Yakovlev, Beyond The Horizon character. Born October 5, 1965, deceased July 10, 2040. Was one of the longest surviving subject of the early Soviet serums. He was an Infernape, under the ownership of Dr. Spencer Asimov.

Frankie:
Luxio, male, level 18
Ability is Intimidate, Nature is Modest
Captured Route 203, at level 4.
HP: 52
Atk: 33
Def: 25
Sp. Atk: 31
Sp. Def: 25
Spd: 32
Current Stat Total: 198
Knows Tackle, Bite, Charge, and Spark
Being the only Electric type on the team, Frankie acts as Anti-Air, destroying those of the Flying Type with relative ease. Otherwise, he functions similarly to Mikhail, though a bit slower.
Named for a classmate that has long since earned my respect.

Maria:
Machop, Female, level 17
Ability is Guts, Nature is Serious
Captured Route 207, at level 7.
HP: 51
Atk: 34
Def: 25
Sp. Atk: 19
Sp. Def: 20
Spd: 19
Current Stat Total: 168
Knows Low Kick, Foresight, Focus Energy, and Karate Chop
While originally the primary attacker of the party, Maria has moved to a more background role as she falls behind Mikhail and Frankie. Her slow speed is her biggest burden. She and Ned will primarily split the Anti-Ghost position, with her using Foresight to ensure she can hit.
Maria is named for the Silent Hill 2 character, created by the town in the image of James Sunderland's late wife, Mary. As part of the torment he wished upon himself, he was forced to watch her die at at three intervals, two of which were at the hands of the monster known as Pyramid Head. In the ending entitled "Leave", she is the final boss, James telling her that he no longer needs her to punish him. In "Maria" she escapes Silent Hill with him, but appears to fall victim to the same fatal disease that would have taken Mary had James not killed her first.

Ned:
Zubat, male, level 18
Ability is Inner Focus, Nature is Docile.
Caught Oreburgh Gate, at level 7.
HP: 46
Atk: 21
Def: 24
Sp. Atk: 21
Sp. Def: 22
Spd: 29
Current Stat Total: 163
Knows Wing Attack, Supersonic, Astonish, and Bite
With a higher resistance to Grass then Mikhail, it is usually Ned that bails the Monferno out in times of need, and was instrumental in defeating Gardenia. With Astonish and Bite in his arsenal, he will be the primary fighter against Ghost Types. Unfortunately, since he is a Zubat, unless he manages to survive to Evolution level he is considered expendable, and I will place him in harms way to save Mikhail, Frankie, Maria, or Archie.
Ned was named randomly.

Archie:
Buizel, male, level 16
Ability is Swift Swim, Nature is Jolly
Caught Valley Windworks, at level 10.
HP: 47
Atk: 25
Def: 18
Sp. Atk: 22
Sp. Def: 15
Spd: 39
Current Stat Total: 166
Knows Swift, Quick Attack, Water Gun, and Pursuit
Archie has yet to find his place in the team. Originally he played back up for Embry, but after the Psyduck died, Archie is the only Pokemon with a real advantage against Fire Types. When it comes to Rock and Ground, he plays second fiddle to both Mikhail and Maria. He is quite fragile.
Named after Archibald "Archie" Adams, character from Beyond The Horizon. Born April 26, 1993. Used as test subject for a prototype of the serum that would later be administered to Robert "Dodger" Dodgeson. Both tests had mixed to positive results.

Ted:
Bidoof, male, level 8
Ability is Ignorant, Nature is Timid
Caught Route 204, at level 4.
HP: 29
Atk: 11
Def: 12
Sp. Atk: 12
Sp. Def: 12
Spd: 13
Current Stat Total: 89
Knows Tackle, Growl, and Cut
Ted is a temporary team member, used to enter and exit the Galactic building, due to the Cuttable trees blocking the door. While valuable as an HM Slave, his uses otherwise are little to none, and training him is neither a concern, nor a priority.
Ted was named randomly.

Reserve:
Nel: Geodude, level 15
Lionel: Buneary, level 11
Hershal: Wurmple, level 13

Grave:
Albert: Starly
Clementine: Starly
Embry: Psyduck

I literally just started my Red Nuzlocke:

Charmander, Lv 5, "Guan Yu"

And Gary gets consecutive crithax and depletes me of my potion, and kills me. What a jerk.

So yeah, five seconds in, and I lose. BEST. NUZLOCKE. EVER.

Sapphire Nuzlocke is now complete

Champion Team:

And so, it is done! Another succesful Crystal Nuzlocke. This one went extraordinarily well, perhaps not as great as the last one, but still great. Very pleased with the outcome of the team.

The following beat Red:


Royce the Typhlosion
Male
Level: 87

Had a couple of deaths and of course some Pokémon that were used more or less. Most of my main team Pokémon did not know any HMs.

Congratulations to everyone who's beat the challenge! I didn't have as much luck with the Pearl one (I cheated... I couldn't stand my Infernape dying u.u), so after a few failed White and Sapphire ones, I'm working on another Pearl run. I just lost several significant team members (including a Croagunk. A LEGIT CROAGUNK. The FIRST thing I found in the Great Marsh. I was so friggin psyched.), but this is my team so far. I'm trying to train some guys so I can challenge Fantina.

Bruce is the most... I dunno, desperate, team member so far. After Isaac, my Staravia died, this previous Defog whore found himself as a new addition to my team... I've had VERY bad luck with this run...

Ruby Nuzlocke, about to face Wattson.

With my Dynasty Warriors motif:

Deceased:
Electrike, F, 12, "Xingcai"

The Pearl Nuzlocke became too tedious... I am not a patient person, and the amount of grinding required was daunting... Instead, I started a White Nuzlocke, and so far it's going better than any of my previous attempts on White

Double post because a lot has happened and no one else seems to have been playing Nuzlocke over the weekend

I was just about to challenge Clay when my game decided to plop out of my 3DS when I had it in my pocket, so tedious catching up ensued. The good thing is some of the things that were dead are now alive again, for which I'm thankful ^^; I have the last grinding session left before I can challenge Clay, so I've almost caught up

Really? No one has Nuzlocked in a week? Oh well >>;

I BEAT WHITE! It was SHIT hard but I did it in the end! N's Reshiram and Ghetsis' Hydreigon were absolute monsters, but with a little bit of hax, I managed to beat them. Zekrom managed to take out Reshiram (why does that thing have no Dragon type moves?!), but its sheer power had me worried... The rest of N went fine. Ghetsis' Hydreigon I managed to beat by sacking Zekrom (who LIVED a Dragon Pulse and managed to take out half its health with a DragonBreath!), and then switching in my Archeops and going for U-Turn. Now the thing is... Even though they were the same level, and Archeops has 20 higher base Speed than Hydreigon, it outsped me and went for a Surf... WHICH MISSED because I had given my Archeops the BrightPowder to hold! That was WAY too close, my heart was racing at that... After that he took out my Crustle, but I prevailed in the end.
