Jaybee Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Doing a Platinum Nuzlocke run for the heck of it. Won't be able to take screenies, but I will update regularly. Rules: First Pokemon encountered on any route will be caught (if possible, so it's it's a trainer, then I curse). If I see a legendary, I catch it and dump it in my box. Why? Because it's a legendary. Dump any fainted Pokemon into a box called "dead lol". Because I'm a sentimental bastard. I fail too much at Pokemon so I'll stop here. Name: Lopt Gender: Female Rival name: Narga Raeged at rival. had him bump extremely suggestively into me, and then I saved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joerachi Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) Whoa. I didn't think people on this site knew what a Nuzlocke even WAS. That and you have A Presea avatar. I think you're my clone. Have fun ripping out your hair and bawling your eyes out with your Nuzlocke.

Have fun ripping out your hair and bawling your eyes out with your Nuzlocke. As far as I'm aware, Nuzlocke runs don't have anything that prevents grinding and with unlimited visits to Pokemon Center, PP and HP shouldn't be a problem.

Yes, but you have to grind forever. I've done Nuzlockes on Emu's and that is still pretty time consuming. Assuming he's on a DS, He'll spend at least 24 hours on grinding.

IntegerZero Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 That's not that much time though. Especially for a Pokemon game. My personal Diamond is well around 200-300 hours. 70% is grinding I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 (edited) First update whee~ Fucking Piplup. Got my running shoes and saw MILEY CYRUS AAAAAAHHHHHHH before heading to Sandgem. I decline the offer of a nickname, see Lucas catch a Bidoof before going to the Pokemon Center to buy shit. I catch a level 3 Bidoof in the grass, kick the first Youngster's ass and then... I see a level 4 Starly. FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- I nuke one more trainer, heal up and then go to Jubilife. Got rejected by the Global Terminal :(, then I went to the Trainer's school for my items and to get my town map. Saved in front of the trainers.

Jaybee Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) I beat the crap out of the trainers, get a Potion, then I get my Poketch. I get the Old Rod from Route 218 and the X Accuracy before healing up. Went to Route 204 and I caught a level 4 female Starly (Yes!). And this thing is Adamant~ After that, a ea land a trip to Route 203 - AH FUCK WHAT IS NARGA DOING HERE. Chimchar lols at Starly, while mine hits level 5 and learns Quick attack. Piplup was slightly harder. I burned my X Attack, used Taunt so FUCK YOU GROWL and Scratched it to death while healing. Starly hits level 6, and 13 Attack is pretty damn good. Also, because my rival challenged me immediately, I CAN'T CATCH MY ROUTE 203 POKEMON GRAAAAAAAARGH The Youngster with Buggies gets destroyed by Starly and Bidoof. Starly knocks out the Shinx and starts growing at an alarming rate. Starly also kicks out the Machop and OOH LOOK WING ATTACK! I walk through the grass and I see a Shinx. I cry for a while, then I beat up a Psyduck before getting into Oreburgh Mine... Where I see another Psyduck. Woo~ I enslave the Psyduck, and then I realise it doesn't know Water Gun. Oh well, Rock Smash get, and I teach it to Psyduck and Chimchar. Bidoof is worthless as fuck, so meh. Muscling through Oreburgh Mine is easy, and then after the guide to the gym I run like heck to the Pokemart, then the Pokemon Center. I save, and then quit for the day.

Psych Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Go get a Machop/Geodude north of town. >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Works as well. IIRC the ones south of Oreburgh are like level... 8? while the ones north are level 5. Or I just had horrible luck, but meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Well, if you get two Machops, you can trade for an Arba. Or is that just DP? >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 (edited) After seeing what the Kadabra in Wayward Cave to do, Abra I do want. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get 2 Machops, because I limit myself to one of each pokemon >_> Anyway, UPDAAAAAAAAAATE Went to Route 207 and caught a level 5 Machop, before going into the mine. In the mine I get a level 5 Geodude, and I run back to heal before starting my training. Geodude gets ROCK SMAAAAAASH. I quickly encounter a level 8 Geodude (FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK) which gets dispatched by Machop, which has 13 Atk. Not bad.I face trouble with the enemies here, but Chimchar with Rock Smash is a godsend. Training gets all my new recruits some new levels (except for Bidoof, who gets dumped in the box). Psyduck FINALLY learns Water Gun, and I beat up the 2 gym trainers before healing and saving. Now, it's time for Roark. Psyduck OHKOs Geodude with Water Gun. Psyduck 2HKOs Onix with Water Gun. Now, Cranidos was the real bitch. I had no idea how to take it out without sacrificing anything, but eventually I got desperate and sent out Geodude, which got 3HKO'd. Fuck yes. Geodude knocked out Cranidos after one Karate Chop from Machop. Badge/Stealth Rock get!

Jaybee Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 (edited) A quick restock and healing later, I get out of Oreburgh. Narga rapes bumps into me again before running back to Jubilife. I scream at Looker, then I beat up 2 Grunts. Caught a random Zubat in the Ravaged Path, then I went to Floarama. Short update because I'm tired. Oh yeah, Chimchar evolved. Yay.

Jaybee Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 (edited) Finally got back to this. I pick my first BERRIES, and get my Sprayduck. I plant my berries and water them, before running back in and getting a Chesto Berry. More berries are picked on Route 205. "We are also covertly stealing the energy of the Valley Windworks. But that is of no concern to you!" YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. Smart man. Upon reaching the Windworks I encounter and catch a Buizel, who will be able to provide backup to Psyduck, hopefully. Thing also has Pursuit, which will help. It's also faster >_> After checking stats, it shows that Buizel loses to Psyduck by 2 points in HP, and has worse defensive/SpA stats, but is stronger physically and is much much faster. Both have good moves as well, so... ehh. I keep both around just in case, since Psyduck may faint in these Windworks. Hypnosis is eerily accurate... the random Glameow the Grunt has sleeped Machop and Psyduck. After beating him, I run back to Floarama, heal up and start buying Awakenings. Head to the Forest, the Grunts attempt to rape me and Starly beats the crap outta them. Psyduck can't even beat a damn Zubat. >_> I walk up to Mars' face and OH WAIT WHAT THE BATTLE STARTED ALREADY SHIT Monferno comes out so he can attempt to tank while I heal u-WHY DOES THIS THING HAVE TOXIC. I taunt it, so Toxic no longer works, and I end up healing more pokemon. Zubat eventually goes down when I'm satisfied with my healing, and Purugly comes out. Oh shit Fake Out. OH SHIT FAINT ATTACK oh well Machop can do this. FEAR MY 43 HP. Focus Energy + Karate Chop weakens it severely, and Monferno takes its place to BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF IT. Monferno used Mach Punch! It's super effective! The foe's Purugly fainted! Monferno gained 222 Exp points! Machop gained 222 Exp points! Geodude gained 222 Exp points! Geodude grew to level 13! Oh hai Looker. I heal, buy Potions and save.

Jaybee Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 (edited) Exams and FE4 got in the way. :D In the grass of Route 205 I encounter a Shellos which can use WATER PULSE. I catch the Shellos, run back to Floarama and swap out Buizel for it. I beat the camper with the Ponyta using Starly and Shellos, and STARAVIA GET FUCK YEAH. Oh hai experience for Shellos random Hiker! I'm trying to save up on Potion uses so I don't have to buy so many in Eterna, aka I'm rotating fairly often. Some poking around a random area gets me a Stardust. Apparently these things sell for money, but I'll keep it in case I need it later. Oh, I don't know. Should I play a little? Ahem.

Jaybee Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 I run into a Buneary and Budew for my wild pokemon encounter in the Forest. I wait to see what Chansey does, and it Egg Bombs Budew. Machop Karates the Buneary to death, and on the next attack Chansey weakens Budew for me to catch. ... Wait is that a level 16 Pachirisu what the fuck. Geodude learns Magnitude over Defense Curl. Oh hai Psychics I like your Abras HOLY SHIT HP FIGHTING AND SOMETHING THAT DOES HIGH DAMAGE AGAINST STARAVIA oh it's HP fighting. Psyduck learns Disable over Scratch, because I think Tail Whip may come in handy later on. FUCK A WILD GASTLY FUCK YOU GAME WHY DIDN'T THIS COME EARLIER /3HKOs it with Ember A wild level 14 Beautifly? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- The rest of the forest was pretty much Staravia and Monferno duoing the whole thing, leaving the rest of my team woefully underleveled. Yay! oh cool Soothe Bell I finish up Route 205 with some training of my weaker members, where I realise that Shellos is being outsped by Magikarp. :( Name Level Nature Ability HP Atk Def SpA SpD Spd Monferno* 17 Naughty Blaze 54 38 23 34 21 34 Bidoof 7 Adamant Simple 26 12 11 9 11 11 Staravia* 18 Adamant Keen Eye 49 36 27 17 20 34 Psyduck 14 Bold Cloud Nine 40 17 20 26 22 20 Machop* 16 Sirius Guts 48 31 23 20 19 19 Geodude* 16 Calm Rock Head 41 29 37 15 17 14 Zubat 6 Gentle Inner Focus 21 12 9 9 11 12 Buizel 10 Hasty Swift Swim 32 20 11 18 14 26 Shellos* 14 Naive Sticky Hold 47 22 21 22 21 17 Budew* 12 Relaxed Natural Cure 34 14 14 17 25 16 Budew's stats are meh, but it has Absorb and Stun Spore, so I kick Psyduck and add it into my team.

Venusaur Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I recommend that you duct tape that Soothe Bell on Budew. On the formatting maybe you should put all of the Pokemon that you're using in your party on the top rather than using asterisks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
