Private/Closed Sinnoh Nuzlocke Discussion

[SageNeb]

I'm not doing more encounter lists

At all? Or until we get to after the amount of lists you currently have?

 

[LittleGreenBean]

I'm doing more. But im not doing ones that aren't listed on Bulbapedia, like Sandgem for example.

 

[SageNeb]

•underground the routes
•under the water of said routes.
•in the skies.

We're not doing that, we can add surfing and fishing to the list if you can do that but not diving. Flying and underground won't be a thing. I mean flying yes, but it will only work like in the games. Not ORAS Soaring way either

 

[LittleGreenBean]

Again, you're not considering us and the basic Nuzlocke rules. The point of a Nuzlocke is to make it more challenging by giving your Pokemon one life and limiting encounters. It defeats the purpose if encounters are that prevalent.

 

[Shen: King of Digimon]

I’m imagining actual ecosystems here. Beaches for example like sand gem I’d imagine crabby, dwebble, and other costal life on it’s beaches. Just like how life of earth is found most everywhere. It would be pretty dull if we were stuck with the original game system of only 2 or 3 super common Pokémon per early route

 

[LittleGreenBean]

T-that's why I'm making encounter sheets in the first place....

 

[What Did You Do To Snoke?]

The discussion continues! Who can predict this exciting event we've got in store for you ladies and gents....!!!

 

[C65]

And if there is a repeat of encounters then you just reroll I would say you get 1 fossil Pokémon that's it because that's what I do for my nuzlocke challenges

 

[Shen: King of Digimon]

I know, I’m not ripping at you or anything, just trying to build to what you are making. Because you said things like sandgem wouldn’t have encounters and such had me worried. That beach is technically a part of the town, and it seems like there could be opportunities to grow and expand the palette

 

[SageNeb]

I didn't even know Sandgem had a beach

 

[Shen: King of Digimon]

I didn't even know Sandgem had a beach

Hence the name lol

 

[LittleGreenBean]

Are we done here, now? Now that all possible loopholes have been patched up and all the encounters for the first bit of areas has been decided?

 

[What Did You Do To Snoke?]

You make a good point though, Shen. Aesthetically, it would be good to actually SEE these pokemon even if we are not ecountering them. But there are so many potential areas to find pokemon on from that. I imagine the south of sandgem town with the beach being like that beach where you can find Staryu and Sandygast in SuMo/USUM to the east of that Aether foundation hotel-sandy patches or sinkholes where you can find pokemon. If you weren't aware there's a route south of sandgem which leads to pal park.

 

[LittleGreenBean]

I think you could include those Pokemon in towns into your RP posts, but not actually catch them if you want them there.

Yeah, exactly! Unique Pokémon for the environments

....that mostly kills the point....

 

[SageNeb]

OK, to avoid further complications, I'll have the "government" had made a rule. No Pokemon Capturing in areas apart from Specifically allowed areas like the Safari Zone or Routes!

 

[LittleGreenBean]

Yeah, and having too many catchable Pokemon also mostly kills the point of a Nuzlocke.

Okay, even then, part of the beach is a route XD.

To my knowledge no it doesn’t. Just the first one you roll per route correct? No complications I see

 

[LittleGreenBean]

Yes, it would. As I stated, the point of a Nuzlocke is to make the game more challenging by limiting encounters and having your Pokemon have one life so there are more consequences to fainting your Pokemon. Catching a Pokemon in every area would kill a Nuzlocke.

 

[Shen: King of Digimon]

Hm, I read up on 8 different Nuzlocke rules, none of them mention limited encounters. All of them mention however only one per route.

 

[LittleGreenBean]

Dear God.

Only being able to catch one Pokemon per route limits your encounters to a certain extent.

 

[Shen: King of Digimon]

Dear God.

Only being able to catch one Pokemon per route limits your encounters to a certain extent.

That’s your limited encounters you wanted, isn’t it? Meanwhile, that more diverse ecosystems could coincide with that idea. Compromise?

 

[LittleGreenBean]

Fine, but can you directly state what you're attempting to convey with this idea? You're literally just stating concepts assuming I know the context this is in.

 

[Shen: King of Digimon]

As in add more to each area. Like beaches have more marine life and general beach like creatures, forests and muddy terrains have other Pokémon like shroomish and Shellios. Basically these different parts of the biomes that weren’t used in the games can be used. Like the muddy bike falls or the marsh environment in pastoria. Things like that. Know what i mean?

 

[Stargrounds]

Jesus Christmas, I leave for a couple hours and then the discussion thread gets a lotta messages. Okay.

 

[LittleGreenBean]

There's the clarification we needed.

Alright, so you'll make the thread soon, I'm assuming? In that case, I'll work on the encounter lists and add that oh-so-important diversity that seemed to concern @Shen: Ghost Gym Leader so much.
@Lightless : The gist of it is @Shen: Ghost Gym Leader asked some questions and we discussed the RP. Not much you need to bother scrolling through.

 

[Shen: King of Digimon]

Ignoring the salt, I appreciate it. I’m ready to go @Nebulix

 

[Stargrounds]

I’m ready to go as well. Ready when you are.

 

[LittleGreenBean]

There wasn't really malicious intent behind that statement. I'm just a douchebag and people get used to it.

And yeah, I'm ready as well.

 

[C65]

I'm ready as well

 

[What Did You Do To Snoke?]

Oh humanity...i love them...they are so funny in how they think and they say....

IT WILL BE THEIR DOWNFALL

 

[Fire Mana]

Guess I'm ready too then, missed the discussion though.

 

[What Did You Do To Snoke?]

I'll get a form up when I have enough time and then I will be ready!

 

[SageNeb]

We already have 10 people. Should we just close it now and then just accept Mockingchu?

 

[SageNeb]

I'll take those two likes as a yes

 

[Shen: King of Digimon]

(Real quick...we all start off in twin leaf town right? Or can we start off elsewhere?)

 

[SageNeb]

Twinleaf, head to Lake Verity real weak for your balls and dex

 

[SageNeb]

quick* and we can just say that the people that claimed the starters got a "reservation"

 

[Fire Mana]

@Nebulix @Shen: Ghost Gym Leader

We're gonna be like the Three Musketeers, but really really nerdy.

 

[Shen: King of Digimon]

Hahaha that’s true XD inseparable! don’t forget @SoulDemon though
