Ike-Mike Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) Since I've been enjoying the Black/White draft run immensely (a lot more than any Nuzlocke run I ever did) and I've been feeling like replaying Fire Red I've been curious if there would be similiar interest in a draft run of those two versions. This run would be mostly just for fun as well. Only Pokémon that were not drafted can be used as HM slaves. The Poliwhirl required to trade for Jynx may be caught but not used in battle. Participants: Hawk King Tibarn (NidoranM/Nidorino/Nidoking, Growlithe/Arcanine, Magnemite/Magneton, Ekans/Arbok, Weedle/Kakuna/Beedrill, Shellder/Cloyster) Kevin [start] (Staryu/Starmie, Zapdos, Doduo/Dodrio, Jigglypuff/Wigglytuff, Moltres, Pinsir) IntegerZero (Diglett/Dugtrio, Horsea/Seadra, Hitmonlee, Aerodactyl, Magmar, Koffing/Weezing) JBCWK [start] (Pikachu/Raichu, Machop/Machoke/Machamp, Magikarp/Gyarados, Exeggcute/Exeggutor, Paras/Parasect, Kangaskhan) Mekkah (Abra/Kadabra/Alakazam, Bellsprout/Weepinbel/Victreebel, Farfetch'd, Clefairy/Clefable, Ditto, Psyduck/Golduck) ThatGuyDownTheStreet [start] (Meowth/Persian, Voltorb/Electrode, Slowpoke/Slowbro, Ponyta/Rapidash, Cubone/Marowak, Grimer/Muk) Naglfar (Sandshrew/Sandslash, Vulpix/Ninetales, Tentacool/Tentacruel, Eevee/Flareon, Porygon, Goldeen/Seaking) 13thshadow (Rattata/Raticate, Zubat/Golbat, Tauros, Lapras, Seel/Dewgong, Tangela) Sho.M.the.Money [start] (NidoranF/Nidorina/Nidoqueen, Oddish/Gloom/Vileplume, Snorlax, Articuno, Hitmonchan, Omanyte/Omastar) Ike-Mike (Eevee/Jolteon, Caterpie/Metapod/Butterfree, Kabuto/Kabutops, Scyther, Rhyhorn/Rhydon, Chansey) NTNP [start] (Mankey/Primeape, Spearow/Fearow, Drowzee/Hypno, Poliwag/Poliwhirl/Poliwrath, Onix, Electabuzz) Psychedelica [start] (Geodude/Graveler/Golem, Pidgey/Pidgeotto/Pidgeot, Gastly/Haunter/Gengar, Jynx, Venonat/Venomoth, Eevee/Vaporeon) Edited April 7, 2011 by Ike-Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 This would be completely dependent on whether or not I can find a copy of FR/LG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekkah Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) I think I'll bite again. The main reason I haven't started any other drafts myself is because B/W encourages large teams more than any other game, making it easy to play catch-up with freshly caught Pokémon with the use of Audino and Lucky Egg. So I'm not expecting this to be as much fun. Someone please compile a list of Pokémon lines that can be caught pre-Elite Four!

Florete Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 The main reason I haven't started any other drafts myself is because B/W encourages large teams more than any other game, making it easy to play catch-up with freshly caught Pokémon with the use of Audino and Lucky Egg. That just sounds more like it makes it easier to have bigger teams, not encourages it. It seemed like most random trainers only had 1-2 Pokemon (and as I recall, not a single random trainer throughout the game had more than 4), gym leaders had up to three, and even the Elite Four only had 4 each on the first round. If trainers had more diverse teams I could agree with you, but as it is, and with the inclusion of constant "nurses" throughout, I really don't see that.

Mekkah Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 That list blows tier-wise though, but at least it's a start. Exclusives can be found here, I guess. http://serebii.net/red_green/exclusives.shtml @Red Fox That just sounds more like it makes it easier to have bigger teams, not encourages it. That's almost the same thing to me. They curved the EXP formula and added possibilities to increase the amount of active fighters on your team. My point remains the same: it'll be harder for mid- and late caught Pokémon to catch up in games that are not B/W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatGuyDownTheStreet Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 If there's room I'll enter, but is this just so we playthrough the game and have fun or is there a goal like in the FE drafts where you try to complete the game in the least amount turns?

The first priority is having fun. Second is getting practical evidence of how good/bad a Pokémon is in-game without having to rely on theorymon, and thereby improving the accuracy of the in-game tier list. Sadly, without BW's re-usable TMs, that will be very reliant on how resources are distributed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zkirsche Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 That list blows tier-wise though Admittedly, there wasn't a lot of discussion beyond the top two tiers, and I think the only change was like, Nidoran M > Charmander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntegerZero Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Is it ok if I use an emulator? I don't think it matters. I myself will be using one, due to the fact that both my DS and GBA are broke. As long as you don't cheat with them, I see no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having exactly 12 drafters would give everyone a team of 6 to work with, though that would give them the option to drop their worst mon for their starter I guess.
