Nuzlocke Challenge
« on: July 24, 2011, 08:17:47 PM »

So, I was lying around yesterday (actually, the day before yesterday but whatever) when I remembered reading about this fiendishly difficult Pokaymanz challenge. The rules: If a Pokayman faints, it's considered dead, and you can only catch the first Pokayman you see when you enter an area. So I picked up my old Sapphire version, lawled at my crappy old team, reset, and began. I wish this box had word wrap so I could proofread my damn story. >_> Whatever.

So of course I picked Mudkip. Because I liek it. And I named him Captain, because he's a boss. Now, the first Pokayman I saw on the first route was a Zigzagoon, but I ignored this fact seeing as I didn't have any pokeballs yet. First, I had to go dominate May with my Mudkip, which was already like level 9 by that battle. Had to make sure I wouldn't lose. Once I did get my pokeballs, I ended up catching a Wurmple. His name was Squiggles, and I'm pretty sure I got him to Dustox within 5 minutes. He was pretty boss. Over the next few routes, I picked up Fawkes the Wingull, Rex and Jimmy the Poochyenas, (HEY THE FORUM WRAPPED IT HERE!) and Rusty and Nibbles the Zigzagoons. At first I thought the Zigzagoons would suck, but as it turns out Pickup is the most clutch ability ever and I had rare candies flowing out my nether regions. Not really. But I had like 3 rare candies which is more than zero. After grinding to dominate Roxanne and her stupid Nosepass, I entered my first gym battle.

I had used Fawkes to solo the trainers in the gym with his water gun, so I was pretty confident I could dominate the Geodude. This was not the case. After my water gun left it with a sliver of HP, Geodude's Rock Tomb one-hit Fawkes. I flipped s*** at this point, because I actually liked him and WHY THE HELL DOES ONE ROCK TOMB DO 32 DAMAGE AT THIS STAGE WINGULL IS WATER/FLYING WUT. So Captain had to go avenge him and beat the forever-loving hell out of re-healed Geodude and Nosepass. I picked up Filamena the Taillow and Amps the Whismur, though I pretty much boxed them because meh. Next came Dewford!

The first thing I did when I got there was get the Old Rod and catch me a Magikarp. Unfortunately, it was female, so I had to name it Cleo. Fork had started his own Nuzlocke on Ruby at this point, and made me feel dumb because he named his Zigzagoon Betty, which is infinitely better. But he has three Zigzagoons, so ha. It was now time to grind for a Gyarados, but after catching a Zubat in Granite Cave I decided that'd be much better for taking on a Fighting-type gym. After hitting level 18, though, I got bored and realized Dustox could solo the gym because it has 4x resistance to fighting AND confusion. It pretty much one-hit everything. I was glad I could use flash now, but none of my team could learn it. Damn. So I had to find Steven in the cave using the map on Wikipedia. Picked up Lucy the Zubat. I'm going to skip ahead a bit because it's boring.

After dominating Team Aqua inside the museum in Slateport, I headed north where I caught Sparky the Plusle. At first I was excited to get an electric Pokaymanz and not a Zigzagoon, but then I realized I could have gotten an Electrike which are much better. Oh, well. Time to dominate train- WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE YOU STUPID W****?!? My rival obviously figured out that her only chance of fainting one of my Pokaymanz would be to sneak up on me while I was leveling my Magikarp. She got so pretty good hits on my Dustox for switching, but I still dominated her. BAM. GTFO, WOMAN. At this point I started flipping out because I thought my team would get dominated by electric-types, but then I realized that my new Marshtomp was immune to electricity so I lawled and dominated Wattson. At this point he was like level 24, which is pretty pro but Fork's Combusken was level 21 by the first gym. Of course, he had a type disadvantage so he had to overtrain. Haha. ALWAYS PICK MUDKIP. Now, onwards to the Volcano! Wait, I went to Verdanturf first. I think I caught an Oddish named Belle because I'm gonna make it a Bellossom. I don't think this game even has leaf stones. So I went and laughed in Wally's face for sucking and THEN went to the Volcano. I caught two Numels, Zelda and Hephaestus, two Machops, Thor and Malcolm, Bearburt the Spinda, Chica the Lotad, and Artemis the Lunatone. I boxed them all because whatevs. Only fire type I'd use in this game is Ninetales. So I went and beat Team Aqua, but their boss almost killed Captain AND Lucy, who was now a Golbat (AND A F***ING PRO ONE AT THAT). They both survived with like 7 HP, even after that Sharpedo's haxxor Rough Skin. I dodged all the trainers on the way to Lavaridge Town. I figured Marshtomp could solo the gym, so I got to Flannery but got tired and turned the game off without saving. I woke up and realized my last save had been before Archie, so this time I dominating him entirely. Got me a Crobat and caught back up to where I was. I'm all Pokayman'd out, though, so I'll play moar later. This will probably display like crap because of the stupid formatting. Whatever.

EDIT: I just suck at apostrophes, apparently. >_> Stupid Enter button being adjacent to it.

So, you should definitely not be using rare candies.

Also, Blaziken beats Swampert. [That's the last stage, right?]

Yes to rare candies. People who think they mess with your stats are misinformed. >_>

And Blaziken can't romp through the first four gyms, can it? That's a no. I just dominated Flannery.

BUT THIS F***ING SANDSHREW

I'm fighting a trainer in the desert and his Sandshrew gets +20% evasion in sandstorms, but I've missed eight times in a row. He can't even hit me. But I can't put the a**hole out of his misery.

You should make the challenge harder.

Also, I've used Blaziken to beat the game before.

Just need to get it to a high enough level and it's unstoppable.

I hate sandshrews.

Don't know about leaf stones in this game, actually. I know I can get a sun stone later, so I'm planning on Bellossom even though Vileplume is better.

Only fire type I like in R/S is Vulpix/Ninetales, but the odds of me getting that when the time comes is low. For now I have those Numels.

And I wonk, rite? >_>

Also, Claw Fossil. The way around "one Pokaymanz per area."

Oh, right, I forgot it's sun stone for Bellossom and Leaf for Vileplume... For some reason, I thought you went Vileplume, then Bellossom...

I love Vulpix, but Ninetails isn't as good. I had a Vulpix I kept, and one I evolved into Ninetails. My Vulpix ended up with better stats.

Then you did it wrong. Entirely. >_>

Anywho, my current top six:
Captain, Marshtomp 34
Lucy, Crobat 32
Cleo, Gyarados 27
Squiggles, Dustox 26
Belle, Gloom 21
Melvin, Trapinch 20

Now I have to start powerleveling.

I know how to play this game. >_>

I've played just about every version. Platinum and Black are the only exceptions.

I don't play enough.

It'll come in handy in College...

Sounds pretty good. I'm now up to Norman, and I've dominated all of his trainers except for the one in the OHKO room. Seriously, f*** people that use those moves. One guy lost his LV50+ starter to a Rhydon's Horn Drill at Viridian Gym.

I have to get Lucy strong enough to handle a critical Facade, because regularly it's a 3HKO against her. Is that considered cheating? >_> I've turned the game off on the last two gyms to get a sense of how strong their pokaymanz are. Not because I was in danger or someone fainted; I always quit well before that.

Although... if I was killed in one hit, I guess I'd have to carry out the challenge.
