POKESHIN - BAD NUZLOCKE EDITION

[charlie_]

In the Fire Red corner, the biggest jerk you'll ever meet, (except for Shin, maybe,) SB!

In the corner that is also Fire Red because Shin only edited one ROM, the number 1 JERK in all of the lands (except for SB and Shin of course), Refa!

Also in the Fire Red corner-

Wait a second.

A third player would make us look even more incompetent.

We can't be having that.

DA RULES

1. First thing you see in a route is catchable.

2. If it faints, it's dead.

3. Duplicate Pokemon are skipped over.

4. We have to finish before Horace does (not that this should be hard.)

Anyway, here I go!

[spoiler=Not a bad start]
It was an abysmal one.

Shin probably replaced all the good ones with Magikarp though.

Apparently I'm a girl. Thanks for the heads up, Shin's Skype Pirates!

i got killed by holsetinny

NO

I FEEL SO HURT ;___;

Well, this is new.

Thanks Old Man Jenkins!

I'll have you know I WALKED into this sign. I'm such a rebel.

Maybe I should try that in real life.

NOT THE SHOTS

This guy.

[21:32:30] Rei Fangirl II: i call squirtle

[21:32:31] SB: I'm taking SQUIRTLE

[21:32:32] SB: NO

[21:32:34] Rei Fangirl II: YES

[21:32:50] Rei Fangirl II: i always get SQUIRTLE for da nuzlockez

By one second! Add Squirtle-stealer to his list of achievements!

Taking FIREBUTT because I'm an ass.

This'll be easy.

WHAT

NO

Oh well, just one more hit and-

RAGE

REWIND, REWIND

Now pretend that never happened.

See, that was non-canon!

i'm dying shin

It's so dark. It can't be foreshadowing TERRIBLE MISFORTUNE, can it?

Yeah! It's not like it's gonna start raining or anything.

Well. Shin sure knows how to

rain on my parade.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

GUYS HELP WHAT DO I USE

I TRIED STABBING THEM IT DIDNT WORK

WEED

Maybe I can sell some and become a druglord!

The alternative is wipe at Misty, probably.

I don't remember doing that!

SIR YES SIR

This'll be really helpful.

I get runny noses all the time.

FRESH MEAT

Only one name is fitting for this.

Since it's a girl, I'll have to compromise though.

I need more slaves!

You'll do nicely.

The name is fitting, I sware.

NO WAY

Then I went UP.

Gosh. I feel like Marth!

Apparently I forgot the screencap it, but the name is PEG!DIECK

Holy inflation. Shin's economy is almost as bad as Bye Refa's!

Oh, I haven't checked that in like 5 days. Oops.

Into the woods we go.

WEED

MAYBE I CAN GET A DISCOUNT AT THE MART

NO

A level 3 Pidgey did this to my team. Time to heal I guess :/

It was too fast for me, but SHINNDY was crit!

Poor sod.

String Shot does damage.

Everything I know is a lie.

Guess I'll go around then.

NO

I WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD BY THE POISON STING

WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING

RAGE

There's an invisible wall or something here Shin.

Might wanna fix that.

Every fan translation patch needs a Kempf Bandit Keith knock off.

Fear my Guts!

...that sounded a lot better in my head.

Erm, I don't remember this guy before.

FUCK.

OH GOD

THANK GOD

Oh. Well, the sign was right!

Thank god. I nearly lost a fouth dude.

Next time, we-

what the fuck is a Snorlax doing there?

[Jedi]

Omg SB I'm dying. Your commentary is as good as ever.

[Refa]

Disclaimer- None of the Anthony's referred to in this update are actual people. I don't hate you guys, only this Bug Catcher

Don't attempt to nuzlocke this at home...Or at your office...Or in hell. That means you, Satan!

What did you expect, Wii Fit Trainer?

THIS GUY IS A JERK

ALMOST AS BAD AS ANTHONY

I picked Squirtle and the bro-est nickname ever because I'm cool like that.

You know who else looks a lot manlier than my Pokemon?

MY MOM

Ha, piece of cake.

Unlike Anthony.

...

I hate that guy.

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucker.

Spoiler Alert-

My PokeShin nuzlocke experience began the same way it ended; RAGE & HAX.

So after that RAGE, I got Oak's...meds...nothing eventful really.

Also I hate Anthony.

I CERTAINLY WOULDN'T EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN ANYTIME SOON

THAT WOULD JUST BE SILLY

I have no soul.

My first Pokemon! Rattatas are cool!

I like Cave Story.

And Bacanno.

Wow...bubble blows.

Also two of my Pokemon have a +DEF/-SDEF nature. This really sucks.

Because Anthony.

Sure, why not?

I like...Catherine? I'm sure we'll be acquainted for a very long time...

Why are items so overpriced...

The sad thing is, I end up buying more after this...

Also I caught a Caterpie. Named him Edward. NBD.

You won't believe how long it took for me to level all of my Pokemon to 6. Stoopid reduced EXP to increase playtime.

I hate poison. Fun Fact- I originally had about 12 pictures that said the same thing, followed by a RAGE/HAX, but I'll just let you imagine them since Photobucket scrambled all of my pictures, and I don't want to spend forever looking for which one goes where.

Oh yeah...it's good against water...Crits are fun! But not really, I hate them too.

Just like Anthony.

THIS GAME

I swear Shin just buffed enemy crit.

Yeah, screw you, WEED.

SO MOROSE

Don't worry, I'll totally visit you later! It's not like any subsequent event will cause me to change all of my plans for everything ever.

DRAMATIC FORESHADOWING

I benched Catherine because as much as I like the name, she was kinda redundant...Although maybe she will have great use in the future, but nah, none of my dudes will die!

That was probably the best decision I've ever made in this entire nuzlocke.

BRO

So useless. I wouldn't have a hard on for it.

Somewhere between buying more antidotes, I fought Shinny again. Even though he was a cheating jerk, I wrecked him.

Yeah, he didn't really put up much of a fight.

That's what Shin says whenever I beat him.

Well, it's time, I guess. Everyone else before Brock's Gym is beaten, which means...

SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO THE SIGN

I hate this guy. He had a Caterpie, but noone cares about that, so let's just go straight to the important part.

THIS FUCKWIT

He exactly 2HKOes me...brilliant. I'm so glad I got Lax nature now!

WHY

THANK GOD

...Not that it made any difference, mind you. I'm just trying to up the dramatic tension for you guys not in the know.

METAPOD SAVE ME

God, you suck.

I hate this game.

So very, very, much.

RAGEQUIT

But not before this, I guess. I'm glad I dealt with my rage in a very mature and professional way.

But I'm sure SB is good enough to solo this nuzlocke! SB = Solo Best, right?

[Ice Sage]

yay update. as usual your updates are funny roofa =P

Anthony is such a jerk

[charlie_]

CATHERINE SOLO

[Refa]

Hope springs eternal?

[Refa]

I TRIUMPH AGAIN

[Ice Sage]

haha nice bro

gg Anthony

[Shengar]

Damn my side hurts so much.

Don't worry, Pidgeot long hair is awesome enough to solo the whole game

I bet Shin give Crit+40 to NPC trainers

[JSND Alter Dragon Boner]

freeze+40

[charlie_]

[spoiler=THIS UPDATE IS BROCK HARD]

And this was the result of my grinding. Maybe Brock is actually beatable!

hahaha

joke's on the other guy, mewtwo's probably holding an EVERSTONE

Time for Brock!

Poor Brock. I think he's having a

hard time.

YEAAAAAAAAAH

Killing off his Zubat with FIREBUTT, since Mellow's probably fucked if she does it.

Now, Bulk Up and sweep?

This was like, the extent of how much I remembered of Pokeshin. Since Horace hasn't updated in years.

It lived a hit at +4.

Crap.

I missed screenshotting Vulpix, but it just missed a Will-o-Wisp (that would have triggered guys anyway.

I think he's being too hard on himself.

God, I need to stop with the puns.

WOOF

RAGE

I'm becoming famous!

W-what?

I can tell by the fact you have a fully evolved bug type.

Well, that did a lot of damage.

YES

Oh god, it can't be-

ANTHONY

He won't stop till he wipes Refa for good!

This was my catch of the route. It's inferior to Peg!Dieck, but it'll do.

Someone needs to warm the bench after all.

WHY

POISON FANG

holy shit man

OH GOD

PHEW

I PROBABLY SHOULDN'T HAVE RISKED THAT

I feel kind of proud of this nickname.

Wow.

Oh god

Huh.

Exit already? Sweet. Gonna go back and explore though.

pfffffffffffft

This cave is like, Cameo city.

Not pictured: Rex

More stairs?

NO

U R A JAGEN11!!111!ELLEVEN

Ohshi-

Oh. HE DIDNT DO MUCH BECAUSE OF HIS LOW GROWTHS

MARCUS FOR BOTTOM TIER

More stairs! Where do I go?

MAD SKILLS

this was actually the right way, but...

I didn't know at the time.

MURDER OVER FOSSILS

SOUNDS LEGIT

Ha! Now Refa is obliged to pick the worse Pokemon!

AMBUSH SPAWNING

I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WAS FE6

OH GOD RATICATE

TAKE NO CHANCES

welpwelpwelp

my dudes are all nearly dead and i have no potions

Erm, false alarm?

FAT GUY

He teaches Triple Kick, but I think that stinks.

Fire Punch!

And this was my catch. I'm almost as creative with my naming as Gamefreak was!

Next time, we update to a slightly newer and probably still just as trollish patch!

Edited July 1, 2013 by Essbee

[Shin]

I'll get you too soon, SB. It's only a matter of time.

[General Horace]

man i would totally lose the game in a nuzlocke

i bet i will finish first (SPOILERS)

[charlie_]

I would update but I'm waiting for REFA to catch up.

[Refa]

[spoiler=Episode 1: Refa returns and he's already used up his entire ellipses budget, what gives?]

Well, I'm already coughing up a lung or two, how much worse could it get?

Too late.

Huh? Weird, I was having some vague memories in which giving Sigurd the Speed Ring was of the utmost importance...wait, wrong vague memories. Yes...yes...it's coming back to me now! Apparently I had already started this journey, but there was some...roadblock along the way which left me with only a Catherine by my side, ready to take on the world. Nothing really sticks out though, well except for an irrational hatred of some Anthony bloke. I should probably be sure to avoid anyone with that name.

Yoink! I sure as hell don't remember leaving any potions in the PC, but it's mine now!

Sorry, everyone...that was probably me. Apparently it's not a good idea to put all of the waffle batter in at once...into a pan.

Wait, so it's Hiro's Mother's House, but Vilan gets his own house? Man, I sure wish I had a rich, senile grandfather.

She's totally into me.

It's just like Michelangelo's David...only manlier.

Estbee, I'm telling everyone your dirty little secret! BTW, in case you haven't noticed, I am in fact HIRO and Estbee is in fact VILAN, as usual I'm subtle as all fuck get out. Anyways, back to the secret telling. I'm going to tell everyone you're into *gasp* The Economist *shudders*!

Bro, bro!

I checked every single one of these bookshelves in the hope of seeing something different and truly original, but it was just the same as always. Pornographic visual no-I mean Pokemon books.

You can use your POKEMON to fight other POKEMON so that it may gain EXPERIENCE POINTS. Once your POKEMON has gained enough EXPERIENCE POINTS, it will LEVEL UP.

You know why I picked Squirtle?

Because I'll be turtling all playthrough long!

YEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

(I'll be here all week, folks)

Well, considering the original rival's name was GREEN, who better to overcome Pal-I mean, such a terrifying power than Catria?

Great...

First I did this. Once. Twice. Thrice. So it actually wouldn't be "First I did this", more like..."And after I had executed the action twice, I repeated the action again in quick succession!"...Hmmm, just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Let's just say it was worth it!

Wow, this is just adding more delicious, oh-so-delicious icing to the cake that is my easy victory without even having to use a Potion.

Hey, I just noticed that ability...neeeaaaat! Also I have no idea how the stats or the natures really work, but apparently Catria is of the derpy nature. Explains why she always derps around in my FE11 playthroughs unrecruited amirite can I get a hi-five people.

For some reason, my heart went aflutter as I saw this magnificent creature attack me. I don't know why, Pidgey isn't supposed to be particularly beautiful. And why do I think it's so magnificent? Either way, I can't catch it or any other Route 1 Pokemon because...because because, so there's no use pontificating these strange feelings I have.

Thank God I'm here, Catria is at 7HP and I'm inexorably stingy with Potions. I mean it's like, what if I need them later?

THAT LAST PART IS A FILTHY LIE

Fucking Windows 8.

Poor Nurse...name to be given at a later date. As soon as she's done with the healing, noone wants to hang out with her anymore...

Just call me Dracula! Welcome to Castlevania!

I BURNT MY THUMB TODAY HOLY SHIT IT WAS THE WORST THING EVER seriously I was complaining about it on Skype all day.

...It got better, though. BUT STILL, THE MEMORY OF THE PAIN LIVES ON.

Eh, the need to breathe is something I've already conquered, I expect my Pokemon to do the same. Alongside the need to sleep.

Nope, definitely not. Smell ya later!

Wimp!

Oh yeah, Catria learnt Bubble along the way. It's still kind of lame.

Why am I here again? Back to the GRAND ADVENTURE! I'll actually be able to catch Pokemon very soon!

Sweet, free tissue paper. Knowing Shin, he probably raised the import taxes on those too, the smug bastard. I knew I shouldn't have played a ROMhack made by a British dude.

While looking for the world's best cure for a runny nose, I happened on this. Wonder how they got there, either way saved me a 10 second trip to the Poke Marth (hahahahaha, not editing that typo out) and 2,500 bux.

Hey, if they're as good as slaying Shin as people have made them out to be, then I'll gladly take a Rattata for the express purpose of slaying this patch.

Now to actually catch it...

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I don't know why I'm so happy, guess I was just expecting that to end in an unfortunate crit.

If you're curious about the name, just ask Shin about Mist. Actually, ask him about -9 Spd Mist, just to make sure.

Holy shit, it can't get poisoned, that is so wonderful.

IT'S GRINDING TIME

I mean uh, Hero Time! Yeah, definitely that especially if the hero in question hails from an Etrian Odyssey game if you know what I mean.

GRINDING TIME OVER

...For now.

They weren't really locked, I just felt the inexplicable urge to jump down a ledge as soon as I approached them.

"THERE'S ALSO SOME FOREST IN THE WAY BUT YOU'LL HARDLY NOTICE IT HONEST"

My (hopefully) soon-to-be comrade, fighting together with me against the tyrannies of...huh, I never thought about that. Well, I sure hope whatever we're fighting for is worth it.

What do you mean it's not a girl?

Holy shit, that's a fat Weedle. And I want it SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad.

Man, I'm glad Mist is immune to poison because I don't have any antidotes. Hey man, what if I need money to buy items to save for when I need to use them later on?

Play Castlevania, it'll make sense. Specifically Symphony Of The Night, although I suppose either of the Sorrow games will work.

This happened during my wonderfully morose grinding session! You'll never guess what move he gets right after this.

But yeah, grinding session. Twas pretty productive. Got everyone to level 7. Catherine got Gust, that blowed. Mist learned Quick Attack sooner than I had expected (actually that's a lie, I just wanted to make another pun, they're so irresistible).

And now to end this update with a BANG!

(if you're wondering about why it looks so pixelly, well that's because I'm on a different computer and instead of downloading better recording software, have opted to use the inbuilt AVI recorder for now; plus the old TV esque graphics are a lot more interesting than the actual battle itself, even though it was TENSE AS FUCK for me I was not expecting Lv9 Pokemon)

Also BANG!

Tune in next time when uh....STUFF HAPPENS. This is usually where I'd have a preview image, but turns out PokeShin upped the costs of those too and I couldn't afford one for the first update. Maybe next time!

[Fruity Insanity]

WHEN WILL YOU BE DONE WITH THE PATCH, SHIN?! I WANT TO PLAY THE GAME FROM START TO FINISH!!

Also, give Pikachu Volt Tackle and access to a Light Orb.

That aside, great thread. This will be easier to follow, too, since Horace never finished the game he started months and months and months ago...

Also you guys need to inform me of updates so I can re-patch the ROM!!!

Because this is one, of my favorite hacks...

Edited January 6, 2014 by Fruity Insanity

[General Horace]

i never finished because the patch is still incomplete

so its all shin's fault
