BW/BW2 The Nuzlocke Challenge Thread

Oh sorry. If your lombre knows a decent water move, use it against the Torkoal, and Mudkip should go down with a decent grass move form Lombre
 
UPDATE!

This is on a Silver ROM. I will be grinding EVERYTHING in my party until it is about 5 levels above the GL.

My Rules!!!

- Any Pokémon that faints is considered dead, and must be PERMANENTLY BOXED.
- I must catch the FIRST Pokemon in each area, UNLESS I already have caught it as my 1 pokemon per route
- All pokemon MUST be nicknamed
- Considering a black out/white out to be "game over," even if there are Pokémon left in the PC.
- Limiting Pokémon Center visits to a certain number per town. 2
- I MAY use more PokeCenters, but I must pay a $400 Fine each time (Discard 2 PokeBalls)
- Rather than releasing the Pokémon, it can be migrated or permanently boxed should it happen to faint.
- Legendaries may be caught (For use after the Nuzlocke), BUT must be PERMANENTLY Boxed!
- Pokemon presented to me in the storyline MAY be used, and WILL NOT Count as my pokemon for that route (Eg. Lake of Rage G-dos)

I have a question. For pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, would the Drifloon that appears every Friday be considered the pokemon of Valley Windworks, and you can't catch any in the grass if you catch Drifloon?
 
IMO event only poke (well i guess it isnt that kind of event but you know what i mean) it wouldnt count....or could it be considered a legendary?
 
All right.....it's a good thing I decided not to catch anything in the grass, because I wanted a Drifloon so I trained pokemon in different grass until I beat Valley Windworks and got a Drifloon. I guess it shouldn't be counted as an event pokemon. Thanks!
 
sad update...

finally got to hearthome gym leader (what ever he name is...she is annoying lets just say that)

i felt kind of bad about doing it. i only had USELESS (dustox) (lvl 26) FLUTTER (staravia) (lvl 28) HARDBOILED (togepi (lvl 7 lol) she started with duskull. i start with USELESS. used poison sting at least 5 times...IT WOULD NOT GET POISONED. so it brought me down to yellow with its willowisp and future sight. so i finally poisoned it and then psybeamed it and then i went down to red...-_- so i switched to FLUTTER. ko dusskull. she sends in haunter. used 2 oran berries on dustox (didnt do much...) her haunter gets me with hypnosis. so i switch in dustox since he knows psybeam and thus can do alot to haunter...haunter gets 2 hypnosis in a row...2 IN A ROW. so i notice an awakening in my bag use it on FLUTTER (i never liked dustox...thus his name is useless) so i switch in FLUTTER....3 TIMES IN A ROW HAUNTER GOT ME WITH HYPNOSIS LOLWUT!!! FLUTTER finally woke up after going down to the yellow aerial ace 2 times for ko. so mismagius comes out...one shots FLUTTER with psybeam (critical hit...i think i was shocked...) then one shots USELESS with psybeam....at least she changed it up with HARDBOILED...used magical leaf...blacked out game over...well i guess ill try again and not pick the most worthless starter this time :p (seriously...chimchar sucks...infernape sucks) probably should have grinded more too...
 
I would kill in the game if I had Infernape. Talk about useless Pokemon..Empoleon/Rapidash. :F

dmaster out.
 
i knew that bronzong was gonna be a problem in the E4...thus picking chimchar...

started another nuzlocke and picked WIGGY (turtwig) and we finally reached sandgem town after all the talking...to bad we ran into a bidoof on the first route -_-
 
He's a GREAT HM slave! If you have no duplicate pokemon on, then he's beast as a first pokemon!

Just lost Terra (Geodude) To a critical hit made by Whitney's Miltank :(. RIP

^yes...but no pokeballs. he is like the best HM slave. and bibarel is pretty good (in game...idk about competitively). so i had to kill him

OH YA rules:
basic nuzlocke rules (can only catch first poke blah blah blah)
no duplicate rule. (if i already got a budew and i run into another budew as my first poke to bad)
no potions (but status items are ok...but not revive obviously)
berries are ok.

i dont want to go to hard because i havnt even completed one and im not used to using a team...i usually just solo run till i can trade over my good guys and even then...tyranitar destroys all.

might as well be doing a solo run...

i am at the second route (idk what there numbers are i lost count at 1 and idc care what the routes are) i got a starly (oh sorry...forgot a nickname...it doesnt matter anyway) 2 battles later...fainted...so its still me and WIGGY...i really hope for a shinx this time. or anything besides budew lol
 
Forgot to post a recent update, didn't I? Well, I continued in the game, being EXTREMELY conservative. Before the second gym, I picked a up Makuthia, which I name RockBalboa (Rocky couldn't fit :(). I then made my whole team even levels, then thrashed Brawly. I continued to train and picked up a Electrike (Trixie) along the way. I didn't put him at an even level, but that's fine. A critical hit on Blaze's Ember won me the third bade. Now, my current team:
Spr_3e_277.gif

Tweety, Lv. 23
Spr_3e_256.gif

Blaze, Lv. 24
Spr_3e_296.gif

RockBalboa, Lv. 23
Spr_3e_271.gif

Partier, Lv. 22
Spr_3e_309.gif

Trixie, Lv. 20
 
^pretty good team you lucky dog lol. i have gone through 4 starly's....they all get criticaled its really annoying...and the fact that i only run into starly's as my first poke lol
 
I'm just lucky all around, both in simulators and ingame I guess! Well, I will update up to badge 6 over the weekend.
 
Very sadly, I lost Huevo (Togepi) to a Bibarel's Rollout attack.

Then, I stumbled upon yet ANOTHER Bibarel. I got out Edward (Zubat) from my PC, thinking his Bite attack would serve well with Fantina. I made very bold moves while battling a Bibarel with Edward. I kept thinking *do NOT use Rollout....* and it did, killing my poor Edward :(

Then, eventually, Rollout got so strong, it took out Chubbo (Prinplup) and Rock Hard (Geodude). I only had Fred (Drifloon) and Plant (Budew) in my party. I thought "there is no way I can beat Fantina now" so I just gave up.

Nuzlocke in Platinum = fail. :(
 
^run is your friend i have found that around fantina is a death trap. you have the stupid roselias and budews that paralize you then you have bibarels that know roll out. i lost about there too lol.
 
Okeh, Platinum Nuzlocke. Started it a week ago. Playing really, REALLY slowly. Currently at Hearthome, grinding up for Fantina. I shall update this post with update-worthy stuff, I guess.

Team as of March 1st:
Lodos (Torterra) Level 32
Donut (Togetic) Level 30
Celeste (Luxio) Level 26
Gigawatt (Rotom) Level 20
Church (Bronzor) Level 20
Tyson (Cranidos) Level 20

Box as of March 1st:
Sheldon (Shellos)
Chika (Pachirisu)
Vince (Buneary)
Megan (Meditite)
Kazza (Kadabra) (Stupid ingame trade nicknames!)
Kristin (Chingling)
Wash (Eevee)
Leira (Staravia)
Rufus (Bidoof) (Obligatory HM Slave)

Grave as of March 1st:
Xena (Shinx) Level 3-4 ; Random Trainer's Starly got a Crit Quick Attack.
Zeke (Geodude) Level 6-11 ; Don't recall what happened here...

Rules:
Faint = Eternal Box
Nicknames
No duplicates unless I wish to catch a replacement for a species I lost.
No items (Exceptions; Certain Hold Items (EXP Share, Quick Claw), Rare Candies, TM/HMs, Evolution Stones, Key Items)
No Legends

Hopefully, I can finish this run. I started an SS run and didn't bother getting to Violet Town. Then I just gave up on my LG run around Blaine.

Really hating the fact that the only good grinding locations are the Bike Path and the route west of Hearthome...Really boring grinding against the same trainers over and over.

Edit Log:
[March 2 - 1:05 PM EST] Woohoo, Lodos evolved. Updated Party Roster.
 
btw what is the rule on the underground? also what about wild double battles like with that one chick...uh...i cant remember her name in the eterna forest.
 
Um there aren't any Pokemon in the Underground, but if you mean reanimating fossils they are typically counted as the place you get the Pokemon, not the fossil (which would be Oreburgh City). Remember that other fossils can't be unearthed until post-story, so if you want a fossil Pokemon to use your choice must be either Cranidos or Shieldon depending on your version (or your Trainer ID in Platinum).

And as for doubles matches, I would assume that you can knock out the one you don't want and catch the one you do on your first encounter. The only place that would happen is Eterna Forest since all other partners join you halfway through a dungeon and long after you should've already encountered Pokemon for that area.

I might do Nuzlocke on my Black with Snivy and Oshawott before I start my serious file with Tepig. I haven't decided yet.
 
^what? lol they join right away lol. and i meant that do i only get the first fossil i find or do i get to pick...because yes there are no poke down there :p
