The Nuzlocke Challenge! Pokemon Hardmode!

[Kerauno]

I'm back again! I just got a Crystal Version ( ;D ) And I'm going to Nuzlocke it! Wish me luck peeps!

As of now, I have:
Adrian the Chikorita, lvl 15
Elana the Poliwhirl, lvl 8
Arachne the Spinarak, lvl 4
Lena the Geodude, lvl 2
Deandra the Gastly, lvl 4

I need to level them up, no one hs ever fainted, and I nearly killed Adrian on the first gym trainer in Violet City. Luckily, I used Elana and she saved me. I need to grind! Luck to you all!

Working on my first Nuzlocke run using pokemon Emerald. Currently have this team (art by http://pearlsaurus.fc2web.com/elog.html)

Grinding in the grass under the cycling road on my way to Mauville. Nicknames are: Tideon the Male Marshtomp, Ziggy the Male Zigzagoon, Ferne the Female Electrike (♥ ya Magpie), Nox the Male Sableye, Kiku the Female Nincada and Aquila the Female Taillow.

EDIT: Got myself to Flanery today, lost Nox the Sableye to her damn slugma, stupid crit on a survivable Overheat. Also lost Ferne along the way to a paralye incident involving a rollout wailmer @_@

[Magpie]

Too bad I died though :V

 

[Jeydis]

Actually just got a Manectric on the road to Fortree Female too so you are reborn ! And kicking tail pretty good too, spark is gonna help alot on the flying gym.

Current team, just finished the Weather Institute:

 

[Kerauno]

Guess what? I'm back in the challenge with Emerald! I just started, so my team sucks.
Amy's Team. (Okay, yes, I'm a guy playing as a girl. It was an accident, so I thought, why not?
Kippy-Mudkip- lvl 8- Male
Lupus- Poochyena- lvl 3- Female
Wally- Wurmple- lvl 3 Male
Talar- Taillow- lvl 5- Male
And, it's sad to say, but in obtaining Talar, someone passed.
R.I.P Soarus-Wingull-lvl 3- Male. He will be missed.

Anyways, I''m on my way to Rustboro City, gonna get someone new in the Petalburg Woods. Hopefully a Shroomish! Luck to you all.

Okay, I got a Shroomish (Female, lvl 9, Carlita.) And I beat Roxanne. I had a near-death experience on the way there, but I made it through. After beating Roxanne, Kippy evolved into Marshtomp. And then I caught and Aron (Male, lvl 12, Shay.) Amd beat Brawly, and almost dying in the process. That's all for now. Luck to all.

 

[Stark]

So I now have beaten Wattson, and I'm working my way through the route covered with ash.

I've picked up Atlas and Io as well, my new Numel and Koffing

Recent Deaths

Cookie the Kricketune~I'm sorry, dear friend...(He was the fourth Pokemon I caught, and he's been with me ever since...up until those two Ace Trainers you tag team battle right before Veilstone...R.I.P)

Progress:

Just defeated Maylene after two tries. I went back to train on the route below Veilstone, and pumped Grotle up to evolution so Torterra could kick some major Lucario arse <<♥ Reb, the Staravia, was practically useless in the battle, and usually the Staravia helps me beat Maylene...YOU SUCK REB Headed out to Pastoria right now

 

[Sir Red]

Just defeated Maylene after two tries.

Two tries? On a Nuzlocke Challenge? That completely defeats the purpose of the Challenge. Your Pokemon faint, in any fashion at any time, and they're gone. Sorry, but no retries, ma boy.

As for my challenge, I've been busy with other things and haven't played it recently. I have six badges, though and haven't lost a team member in quite a while (although that's what insane level mashing will do for you XD).

But I was made aware that the faints did not count for Gym Leader and Elite Four challenges...*goes to read the rules again* Because, if you lose against a Gym Leader, it doesn't really make a lot of sense because Gym Leaders can be tough, like the Elite Four (E4 being the ones that it says you can restart against). Hrm...

 

[Stark]

I think we're all treating EVERY battle with the same rules

So if you lose against a Gym Leader, I suppose you can consider yourself dead. Either that, or you make use of the nifty function that some guy invented called "Save".

Welp >_> I suppose I can just...pretend I never lost a Gym Challenge, you could all be nice...and stuff >_> From here on out, OoO, I will go by those rules then...Hrm, I guess that technically means I lost the game at Roark >_> <_<

That sucks, but anyway, I'll just do it from now, and the next time I lose against a Leader, unless I save, THAT will be the end...*cough*

 

[Jeydis]

Just a note. If all six faint and you have other caught/boxed pokemon you can keep going I beleive. Not that its gonna help much since the boxed ones are probably even weaker but you know you may get lucky

Working through the Groudron/Kyogre story now, preping for the Liza and Tate match soon in mine. Team update image:

Graveyard:
Izzy the shroomish lvl6, crit death.
Corby the poochyena lvl9, forgot about the little used weakness dark types have. Bug attacks. KOed by leech life of all things @_@
Ariel the Wingull lvl12, Dont recall im afraid, I think it was a big double slap or something like that.
Ferne (1) the Electrike lvl17, rollout lucky !4&@(( wailmer o'death
Pele the Numel lvl16, I honestly dont remember I think she was selfdestructed to death there.
Nox the Sableye lvl25, Crit overheat from my favourite gym leader (damnit ><)
Kiku the Ninjask lvl24, got cocky with the bad end of an electrike.
Aquila the Swellow lvl33, Poison of all the damn things. Stupid me forgot she got poisoned and switched during the fight and walked once, she was at like 3 hp when I changed her out in battle.
Lenny the Pelliper lvl35, Flinch hax crobat against Maxie. Seriously stupid. Bite, flinch, bite, flinch, bite, flinch. He was almost dead too.

Im tough on my birds.

Aw, thanks JeyJey! Welp, I never thought I'd have Gabite (even though I wanted a Gible, I thought I wouldn't encounter one on my first try...surprise to me!). Also, I would not have guessed that I would have a Medicham. Didn't even strike me as one that I'd like using, but it's proven to be WAY useful.

Good luck, Kerauno! (I'd rather call you that, if you don't mind) I like the name you gave Machop XP

 

[Kerauno]

Good luck, Kerauno! (I'd rather call you that, if you don't mind) I like the name you gave Machop XP

I don't mind. And I think Machop's name was from God of War. Awesome game. I need it.

I don't mind. And I think Machop's name was from God of War. Awesome game. I need it.

Actually:

Kratos is the name of the Titan God during the Greek God era. He was the one who was cut up into tiny pieces by...Zeus I believe and thrown into the pit of Tartarus. He was also the father of Poseidon, Hades and Zeus, better known as the Big Three. He ate Poseidon and Hades when they were born, but Zeus' mother tricked Kratos into eating a rock and he coughed up Hades and Poseidon. Then what I said before occurred.

No.

That's Kronos. Or Cronus, in Roman, Saturn. He's the Titan Lord of Time. He's the father of the Big Three, and husband to Rhea. Where did you hear his name was Kratos?

Oh, yes, I must update. I beat Maxie at Mt. Chimney (I hate him...) And beat Flannery. And I got an Egg. Then Brendan gave me the Go-Goggles and said he was going to beat Norman, blah blah blah... (Did he just call me weak? i just beat Flannery! Brendan... you are dead. Team is the same. No one died. Bye.

 

[Snortale]

Got a new member, no deaths, and heading to the fourth gym..

Team- Jenkens the Marshstomp lv 27
Subs the Minun lv26
Cajun the Sableye lv 26
Banna the Vigoroth lv 26
Madusa the Seviper lv 16

(I got the pics from the same source as Jeydis, hopefully I did it right for the pictures to show)

EDIT: I took the pics into paint put them together and attached it since I can't seem to get it to show other wise like you guys have yours.

Oh poo, I did get the names wrong...Kratos is the Samaritan in God of War, isn't he? The one you were talking about...Argh...

Well, at least I brushed upon what I knew about the history of the Big Three. (Oh, and I didn't hear his name was Kratos. I got my names mixed up. Sorry, Kerauno! )

Oh yes, and I must update!

Kindly stay on the topic of the Nuzlocke Challenge please, I don't think anyone posting in this thread came here to see an argument about Greek history.

Re: Journey through the Dark Cave

I was going to try this on crystal, but when I entered the path to cherrygrove all the pokemon were having their afternoon naps. Then I found Hope the hoppip and it was so WORTHLESS. So I gave up the whole thing ^^;

I am going to try again on some other game, maybe firered. I was looking forward to starting with charmander but I guess that's a big no-no on Nuzlocke :<

You can still start with Charmander...just hopefully you catch somethinh that can take brock.

Update on me, beat Flannery almost lost Subs and Banna...but they live, thank you pokemon gods!

EDIT: Got my sixth teammate, caught her in that sand tower. Anne the Trapinch, hopefully I can get her into a Flygon. I could use a dragon
