LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Pretty simple, I realized there isn't a thread specifically for Pokemon Nuzlockes. I checked around, there was one a while back that died off and there is a club, but it also seems to have died so I think it's a good time to try make a new thread. For those who may not know what a nuzlocke is. Basically, it's Pokemon with special self-imposed rules. There are many variations (No items, no Poke Centers, Wedlocke, etc.) But the simplest rules are as follows. 1.) You can only catch the first Pokemon in each new route/area. (There are many many variations such as no duplicates but this is the basic idea.) 2.) If a Pokemon faints, it is considered dead and you cannot use it any more. (Usually people have a special box for them, or they release them.) There is a very commonly used but not neccessary rule of nicknaming all of your Pokemon. So, this is to discuss anything pertaining to nuzlockes. How you play, your experiance, which games are best to nuzlocke etc. I've completed two nuzlockes so far. A Platnium Randomizer, and a X no healing items in battle run. The randomizer was a lot of fun and gave me a habit of naming female Rhyhorns Princess (The first Pokemon I caught. R.I.P ) I recomend anyone who has played nuzlockes to try a randomized version sometime. (Fully randomized or just the wild encounters, I prefer only encounters). Currently I'm trying to finish a Fire Red nuzlocke and am at the Elite Four. The level gap is ridicolous so I'll have a lot of grinding ahead. But I've only lost one Pokemon so far (Lullaby the Hypno, got critted by Sabrina's Alakazam.) so I'm pretty proud of how I've done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 A part of me wanted to remake that club given that I was one of the members that was passed leadership from the original owner. OT: The only nuzlocke I have completed was my Platinum Nuzlocke and I have 2 ongoing nuzlockes: I'm currently doing a Black Wedlocke, and I have obtained 8 badges though I have suffered 15 deaths. I also have an ongoing Emerald Nuzlocke which was accompanied by a Nuzlocke comic that was posted in the club thread, and I had defeated Norman and suffered 6 deaths.

Maeriberii Haan Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Planned to play a fully randomized 'locke in the future, though was still unsure about what should I play. (also, for anyone who plays the fangame pokemon zeta/omicron, is there really a Nuzlocke mode in that game?} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazooie Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 (also, for anyone who plays the fangame pokemon zeta/omicron, is there really a Nuzlocke mode in that game?} Yes there is. Not sure how it works since I haven't played it, but it exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delibirb Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Nuzlocking a randomized Ruby right now, but I dont play it terribly often. Have a Whismur that knew Sketch as its base move, though (DaVinci). Currently knows Fireblast in place of Sketch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted March 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 A part of me wanted to remake that club given that I was one of the members that was passed leadership from the original owner. I was curious about that, since it seemed Nuzlockes were a big thing on here. Which is what led to me making my first thread in.... years. Planned to play a fully randomized 'locke in the future, though was still unsure about what should I play. I've only ever seen ones of Emerald or Platnium. Either would be a good choice. Platnium is my biased favorite, but the DS ROMS tend to have more problems than the GBA ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Platinum is slooooooooooooooooooooooooow though. like really Deciding between FR, Em, BW/B2W2, or a fangame/hack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, I suppose I never really noticed how slow it was. As for your choices. I wouldn't go with a hack, simply because part of what's fun for me with hacks is the changes to the Pokemon, so randomizing it would be a bit redundant to me. FR is probably the fastest of those, besides a couple odd level curves. For me White was one of the funnest so I'd go with that one myself. And as I said, Emerald has been done a few times so you could check some videos of that to see how it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Update I suppose. Finished my Fire Red Nuzlocke, ended up only having one death the whole time. Team in the end was Sprout the Venusaur, No Wings the Dodrio, Medusa the Arbok, Jet the Vaporeon, Princess the Rhydon, and Olive the Primeape. Never used some of these, which is the best part of Nuzlockes to me. Now trying to decide whether to continue my Soul Silver or start a Black 2 Challenge Mode run.

Maeriberii Haan Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Blaze Black 2 Challenge mode. Do eeet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Blaze Black 2 Challenge mode. Do eeet. Oh god. O.o Maybe another time... For now because my computer is being weird I am avoiding using the DS emulator though, so I'll hae to spice up the B2 Challenge mode to make it harder....

Maeriberii Haan Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 If you're using flashcarts, you should be able to play it on your DS. BB2/VW2 is reaally fun, eventhough the changes are not as crazy as in BB/VW. Really wanted to do another Nuzlocke run on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not using those, honestly I haven't messed around with much technical stuff. Buuut, I would really like to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Implying RBY and GSC don't make for the best randomized nuzlocke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Implying RBY and GSC don't make for the best randomized nuzlocke? I don't know about them, but to me those games are much less fun than the newer ones. RBY is waaaay too glitchy. Don't get me wrong, I loved them when I first played them but now.... Also, as I cannot play challenge mode on my Black 2 (Forgot about the whole "can't delete your file without deleting the keys" thing) I'm trying to think of ways to make it harder but not annoying. One is no healing items in battle, another is using Tepig, with it's not stellar defense and slow speed it seems the toughest to keep alive.
