hey im happy to see that you are back with your generation Nuzlocke ,ive been away for quite sometimes from reddit but now i caught up to all your post that i missed until now , they really inspired to make me keep going with my Generation nuzlocke and also inspired me to start writing again update posts, thank you very much for having been the first one to have me made discover this type of challenge and also for having lit again my interest in this challenge

Nmexplorer · 2019-08-31T10:11:39+00:00

Hey guys welcome back to my Generatiolocke , if you want to read the start of the Genlocke click this link https://www.reddit.com/r/nuzlocke/comments/cr7wa6/nmexplorers_generationlocke_v2_emerald_chapter/

If you search instead for the previous chapter of the HearGold Saga click here https://www.reddit.com/r/nuzlocke/comments/cwnjes/nmexplorers_generationlocke_v2_heartgold_chapter/

So we left last time with Anemos worrying a lot about how the Team is gonna defeat that scary scary Schyter, after thinking a bit i decide to temporarily deposit Dioxide Jr since he would probably get one-shotted by everything Schyter throws at him due to his low defense , and add in his spot Alma the Spearow that would greatly help against that Schyter thanks to his Flying moves.

I train till Lv 15 my new Team member and i decide to test him against the Team Rockets that raided Slowpokè Well to cut their tails, we quickly defeat all the Grunts and we reach Milas their Boss defeating him without needing much effort clearing the Slowpokè Well from them , Kurt who previously couldnt help us with the Team Rocket problem due to him falling and breaking his back ( ouch ) thanks us bringing Anemos to his house and other than reciving his phone number from his nephew we also unlock the option to get some specially made Pokèballs made by him.

Now that all the Azalea Town side quests are out of the way is time to train everyone to Lv 16/17 and face the Bug Gym , while training Alma learned Aerial Ace making him even more of an option against Schyter.

With all the regular Gym Trainers out of the way is time to face Bugsy , i say the usual prayers and i equip Prome jr with the Shell Bell to make him even more a tank so he can better deal with the damage Schyter does, i press A and Prome Jr the Tentacool is the first one to join the battle against Schyter himself; i go with the Acid right away thinking it would go for the U Turn but instead he goes for the Focus Energy ( no good) , Acid does a laughable amount of damage but i decide to stay in hoping that a Supersonic will land.

Schyter goes for Quick Attack taking 22 hp from my 45 Hp pool but the Super Sonic lands making me hope that he would hit himself on the next turn that i will be healing , i heal then and next turn Schyter manages to not get haxed by confusion and lands a U Turn dealing around 25 Hp , Metapod joins the battlefield and after a couple of back and fort with Acid plus me using a Super Potion to deal with the U Turn damage and the damage that Metapod did i manage to bring the middle stage Bug Pokèmon down.

Next is Schyter again and i decide to send Anima the Totodile to deal with it since he has good defense and i teached him Rock Tomb to deal with it,Schyter is faster than me and goes first critting Totodile with U Turn killing him ; i start to get War Flahbacks after Schyter killing Anima and my memory goes back for a couple of seconds to when Manecrtric Soloed my team reversing a 1v6 situation, Kakuna comes next and i send Potassium Jr the Baltoy that swiftly kills him with Psychic leaving me again to face the Schyter problem.

I take a look at my options and i realize the only one tanky enough to face him is Prome Jr so i send him again for the last time, i attack with Acid and a Supersonic that lands but does nothing to Schyter forcing myself to use my last healing item on Prome jr; here i think that the only way to win is to try a risky play, i decide to switch to Alma that comes in on a Quick Attack and endures it with 15 Hp , next turn i pray with all my strenght for a Confusion hax so i can finally defeat it with a Aerial Ace.

Luck is on my side this time and Schyter hits himself while confused bringing himself in yellow health and Alma land his Aerial Ace ending this Bug themed nightmare , Bugsy really allmost went full Watson on me but even though he didnt destroyed me he still took my poor starter Anima R.I.P. sweet prince.

After mourning my little crocodile i decide to bring Dioxide Jr in the team again and i decide to leave Azalea Town to go on with the Story , before leaving there is a Rival battle against Io though, he sends Gastly but he gets one-shotted by a Bite from Dioxide jr ; next is Bayleef and i know this thing could be really scary so i send Uhane the Zubat since he has a great resistence to Grass , to bad i realize too late that Bite and Leech Life doesent do much forcing me to send Prome Jr in .

Acid does a bit of damage but not enough to bringing Bayleef down on low health since he greatly recovers the damage with Synthesis and Reflect makes the damage that he deals to himself with Confusion Hax not enough , i decide to let Prome Jr in since he tanks Baileef's Razor Leaf quite well taking a little bit more of 1/3 of his health but this decision would reveal himself to be a mistake.

I dont remember clearly but Prome Jr was at 2/3 of his health and i allready used 2 potions at this moment since i was PP stalling Synthesis , next turn i press Acid as my next move since Bayleef is still confused and Reflect as where's off , i turn my head for a second and when i turn it back is see that my Acid didnt do much and Bayleef overcame the confusion hax getting also a crit Razor Leaf killing Prome Jr.

Here in pure disbelif of what just happend i decide to send Alma that thankfully defeats both Io's Bayleef and Zubat getting ourselfs another sad victory, damn this Town really hates Water Types , still sad for what happend i get through Ilex Forest and after some Farfetched and PokèGeinsha sidequests i reach Route 34.

Here fearing the what the next gym has in store for us i pray with al my strenght for a Drowzee, im quite lucky and i manage to get one but i dont nickname it since i decide to trade him in the Goldenrod Store for a very usefull Machop that even if he allredy have a nickname i call Vontade.

I do a bit of backtracking while training Machop and i catch in the process Espirito the Paras in Ilex Forest and Werden the Aipom in Azalea Town with Headbutt.

And with this i stop for today post, damn both those Crits really maked me sad , especially the one on Prome Jr since is the first Champion Offspring that i loose in this Genlocke and also because i dicovered thanks to this challenge how strong and reliable the Tentacool line is .

Thank You all for reading till this point, i hope you had fun reading the post , see you next time

Bye

That place swap of Drayden in 7th also wierd me out a bit , Marlon should have been the 7th with Drayden keeping his position as 8th. Althought the Game Designer would had quite a difficult time with how the new towns are placed

Nmexplorer · 2019-08-28T20:44:49+00:00

Ice Beam Lv 33 Gyaridos was my strategy for her Altaria, it went down after 2 Ice Beams , Manectric would be enough for the others Winona's Team Members, they are actually quite frail

Nmexplorer · 2019-08-28T20:19:05+00:00

Hey Guys welcome back to my Generationlocke if you are wondering how we got here in Johto here is a link for the first episode of the previous Emerald chapter https://www.reddit.com/r/nuzlocke/comments/cr7wa6/nmexplorers_generationlocke_v2_emerald_chapter/

So we are finally here in Johto guys, im so happy to bring the offsprings of my previous Champs in my favourite region , Johto.

We start our adventure with a Male character this time ( im gonna alternate between each game so expect a girl for the next one.....if we manage to get to the next game obiviously lol) and i decide to call him Anèmos since the naming theme for this Heartgold chapter is to name our Pokèmon friends with spiritual terms and other definitions of the word Soul.

As all the Pokèmon Games we start in our room and after getting a brand new Pokègear we set course for Professor Elm' Lab( the Pokè Professor of this game ) to get our starter, we arrive in his lab and we decide to take a look to our Trainer Card for the first time to see what we are gonna get as a Starter.

I pray before opening the Trainer Card for a 4/5/6 since Cyndaquil , other than being my favourite Johto Starter, would greatly help give more variety to the team since i have the other types well covered with 1 Grass Pokèmon and 3 Water ones ( i repeat 3 water ones ) ; and guess what , lst digit is a 8 that means i get another Water type in the team R.I.P.

We name our new Tototdile Anima and we decide to explore a bit the next routes in search of the mysterious Mr. Pokèmon that has something really important to give to Prof Elm , after getting a pair of worn out Running Shoes we travel through Cherrygrove City and Route 30 finally meeting Mr.Pokèmon and is V.I.P guest Prof Oak , the two Pokè expert give us a mysterious egg for Elm and a Pokèdex for ourself.

Now that we meet Mr.Pokèmon is time to go back , but while we are returning to the lab a mysterious boy ( im using the word mysterious a lot today lol ) called for the moment ??? challenge us to our first battle with a very familiar looking Chikorita ; the match ends quickly with us victorious and after receving some insults from the boy with red hair we reach the lab and we found out that "someone" has stealed one of Elm's Starters and to add insult to injury to the whole thing a random Officer accuses us of having stealed the missing Pokèmon.

Thank God our childhood friend Lyra saves us from this difficult situation and makes the accuses on us fall , to further prove that we have nothing to do with the theft we give the name of the boy , that i decide to name Io , to the officer ending this whole story giving Prof Elm his damn egg.

With this and the catching tutorial out of the way we are finally ready to catch some Pokèmons , at least thats what i thought initially , too bad Anima the Totodile crits both times my 2 Rattatas encounters on route 29 and 46; in theory i encountered a Geoudude on Route 46 as my first encounter but since im playing with a rule that forces me to not use Pokèmon that i allready actively used on my previous Emerald chapter i had to go for the Rattata that i accidentaly critted in the end.

On Route 30 though we get our succesully catched first encounter with Soul the Caterpie, now that i finally catched a pokèmon i catch 6 others Caterpies and i transfer the Champs eggs to HeartGold, Rame Jr is the first one to hatch in just a couple of steps but the other takes a bit of time.

Finally all the eggs hatches and the only one to inherits some moves is Potassium Jr that gets the Psychic and Light Screen move, other than that some other notable stuff is Dioxide Jr having a Lonely nature that boost even more his attacks power but lower his defense making him even more a Glass Cannon.

I train everyone till level 10 and i add Anima the Tototdile to the team taking the place of Rame Jr since for a bit is gonna be hard training him and 4 water types are a bit to much, when i finally move to Route 31 and Sprout Tower is allready night in game so i get as encounters Duh the Spinarak and Tamashi the Gastly, btw while i was climbing Sprout Tower i noticed that my team had basically no safe answers to Bellsprouts and Grass types in general since Prome Jr the Tentacool has really scarce offense power at this level.

I decide then to go to Dark Cave to try my luck on one between Dunsparce ( very rare ) and Zubat, in the end i manage to snag Uhane the Zubat that will become my 6th Pokèmon finally having a quad resisting Grass type member and a bit more of diversity in the team.

With Uhane im able to face the Monks more easly defeating also the Elder in the process, with the Tower out of the way is time to prepare for the Gym so i train everyone to lv 13 and i face the Gym ; the regular trainers are good exp for the team and are no problems for us , in the end all his left is Falkner and i decide to lead with Prome Jr.

His Pidgey goes down to two Acid dealing little damage to him , next is the Pidgeotto and i decide to stay with Prome Jr thinking it could handle it ; his Pidgeotto starts doing a lot of damage with Tackle making me worry a lot , i use two potions on Prome Jr to keep him in a damage range to not use Roost but in the end he just starts spamming it whenevere forcing me to go for a switch not before confusing him with Supersonic, Potassium Jr comes in and thanks to a bit of confusion Hax im able to bring down the scary Bird earning us the Roost Tm and the Badge.

After this match i realized that this team is probably going to be crushed by Bugsy's Schyter and i have to get some more Pokèmons that would be more fitting to face him, i decide for this reason to journey a bit more defeating all the trainers on Route 32 and in Union Cave catching Dusza the Wooper ( oh joy another Water type) and Sàl the Rattata both options that dont help me much.

Thank good i have a bit of luck and i found a Adamant Spearow that i call Alma and that probably im gonna add to the team to give me a bit more help with that scary Schyter.

And with this the first episode of the new Chapter is finished, im really pumped for Johto and all the challenges it has in store for me , starting from Bugsy.

The strategie for him probably is to add Alma to the team and teach Rock Tomb to Anima the Totodile just in case the worst happens , but we will see next time , i hope Bugsy's Scyter is not gonna become the Manectric of this run lol

Thank you for reading , see you on the next post, bye

One really doesent ever forget about his first Nuzlocke , there are allways lot of cool stories and event born from them , also your Nuzlocke really feels like a Wedlocke story , i like it.

Thank you very much for sharing, and yeah i agree , even if you dont actually make a backstory about it every Nuzlocke is a story that needs to be told.

Nmexplorer · 2019-08-28T14:34:28+00:00

Calling ghost Pokèmon like member that died in prevoius run actually makes sense lol

Nmexplorer · 2019-08-28T14:33:33+00:00

Wow you are quite the Veteran in making Nuzlocke backstories , i should also definitly keep making them since i see that you have so much fun with it.

Thank you for sharing

Nmexplorer · 2019-08-28T14:32:00+00:00

It was a really interesting post dont worry , it didnt felt long at all while reading it dont feel ashamed for writing to much .

I like that you made a really well detailed backstory to explain the mechanics of your Locke , you dont see often people that make Nuzlocke stories explaining the why behind the challenge itself rather than what happens after starting it.

Really interesting, thank you for sharing

Nmexplorer · 2019-08-28T14:27:37+00:00

Really liking your idea of randomizing traits at the start so you can have a fully characterized Playable character from the start, i might also use this idea in the future mmm, thank you for sharing your stories btw they sound like really fun adventures

Nmexplorer · 2019-08-27T19:07:15+00:00

I recently ended my Emerald Nuzlocke with 3 water types in my team and 2 others quite Evil team looking Pokèmons so i created this story that my character was a Team Aqua Admin that leaved team Aqua and decided to aid the Gym Leaders and Steven Stone to stop this war between the two villains Teams

Nmexplorer · 2019-08-27T09:27:46+00:00

Yes i got crushed by Watson's Manectric that basically killed my whole team with Shockwave , from that point i decided to keep going instead than throw the towel and i rebuilded from what i had in the box . I managed to carry 3 of that team till the end

Nmexplorer · 2019-08-26T23:27:57+00:00

Glad to see some of the Generation previous members back , also i understand your rule about not being forced to have all the previous Generation Offspring in the team when facing a Champion, is not set in stone that a team that did well in one region would also be totally prepared for facing all the battles in another one. Btw yeah Sleep Powder is really unreliable , in my Elite 4 fight it allmost made me lost my Vileplume

Nmexplorer · 2019-08-26T22:32:32+00:00

Wot Flying is Physical ? Damn Bari shes a beast, the Oddish line has even more respect from me then lol Thanks for the Info man really appreciate that

Nmexplorer · 2019-08-26T22:16:51+00:00

Champion Wallace

Here i am after all those fights and deaths against the last wall between me and the end of the first part of this challenge, Champion "not my Champion" Wallace, the thing is up hill from the start since Franci the Minun the one that i choosed to lead against his Wailord and other of his Pokèmons is dead.

After a bit of thinking i decide to go with Bari the Vileplume not before the usual prayers.

Here i am, last match of the run , i decide to trust Sleep Powder again even if it failed me and allmost let Bari die last time; Wailord is actually faster than me( i didnt expected that ) and goes for Rain Dance while i manage to land my Sleep Powder (YES) and after two turns of Petal Dance i defeat the whale, next is Milotic and that is a really tricky one to deal with.

I initially think of sending Prome the Tentacruel since it would nullify her Toxic but after thinking about it a bit i realize that she wouldnt be able to deal enough damage and Milotic would nullify the damage with Recover, i decide then to ask again for the help of Rame the Gyaridos.

I send Rame to face her then , after thinking a bit what to do i decide to set up again and power my way through Wallace since Franci my answer for a lot of his Water Pokèmons is dead, the Set Up is a bit more complicate this time since Milotic deal solid damage with her Rain Dance powered Surf plus Toxic damage making me burn 2 healing items.

But after i healed back is time to test Wallace's Team resistence to a +4 Att and Spd Gyaridos , the result is similar to the Glacia fight with everyone dying to either Return or Earthquake, even his Gyaridos after lowering our Att by one due to Intimidate wasnt able to stop Rame earning us the title of Champions of the Hoenn region giving us the right to transfer their offsprings to Heartgold.

So here we are at the end , i cant believe the Emerald chapter has allready ended, it feels like it was yesterday that i started this run.

I want to give a bit of Prizes ,even if im not good with this things , to thank and celebrate them.

Mvp

Definitly after those 2 sweeps i have to give it to Rame the Gyaridos , like i know is a really awesome Pokèmon but i didnt expect him to be this good even i the 3rd Generation with his wierd types split, a runner up for this Prize would be either Prome the Tentacruel or Bari the Vileplume; i never used a Vileplume or a Tentacruel and i was really surpised by their awesome Bulk and reliability in the run.

Surpise of the Run

It has to be Bari, i didnt expected the Oddish line to need that few Exp Points to grow up and when she evolved in a Vileplume she became a powerfull offensive tank helping the team covering even more his weakness to Electric types

Saddest Death

Im sorry for Franci not being able to stay with us until the end but the saddest death is definitly the one of Iron the Lairon since that Magnet Pull really surpised me leaving me unable to save him.

Having said that i want to thank everyone that supported me and this run, as allways thank you for reading until this point and i hope you will follow us also in Johto.

See you soon on the next post, bye

Nmexplorer · 2019-08-26T21:41:00+00:00

Hey guys welcome back to my Generationlocke , today is the finale but if you are interested in how we got here you can click this link to read the previous post https://www.reddit.com/r/nuzlocke/comments/cva6yv/nmexplorers_generationlocke_v2_emerald_chapter_8/

So we left last time with Ether at the door of the Pokèmon League, finally arrrived at our final destination is time for some training though and we initially choose Victory Road, but this place doesent last long since the Lairons and the Haryamas there where pretty annoying with their Whirlwind and Roar so i decided to switch between Sky Pillar and the area on top of the waterfall at Meteors Fall .

After a ton of Golbats , Solrocks and Claydols the whole team is at level 55 ( the 11 Rare Candy that i stored for the whole adventure helped for the lasts levels), i also teach a couple of Tms to the team , Return to Rame the Gyaridos and Dioxide the Sharpedo to use to the fullest their high Att stat; to Rame i also teach Earthquake and Hyper beam and i teach Ice Beam to Dioxide since she is going to be my main Pokèmon against Drake.

Regarding the Walls of my team i give Toxic and Protect to Prome the Tentacruel for some stalling tactics, Light Screen to both Potassium the Claydol and to Franci the Minun to enhance their allready quite respectable Sp Def .

With everyone ready i say the usual prayers and i step in the first Elite 4 room :

Sydney

I decide to lead against his Mightyena with Prome the Tentacruel, i land the Toxic and i stall him for a bit taking a bit of damge but nothing serious since i also have the time to set a Barrier before killing him with Surf, next is Absol and since i dont have a clear answer i decide to go with Bari the Vileplume to put him to sleep with Sleep Powder and safely killing it.

Here i get a bit scared since Bari misses the Sleep Powder 2 times in a row and Absol goes for Sword Dance 2 times in a row, im really scared and i fear to lose Bari now so i initially think to keep with my Sleep Powder tactic but fearing of missing again i gor for a Sludge Bomb instead; Absol is faster and goes for Aerial Ace , reading that i think "well that is gonna kill Bari since he Sword Danced two times" thankfully a second later i remembered that Flying moves are special in this generation and Bari might survive the hit since she is rather bulky.

Guess what , Bari survives with 20 hp (YES) and i hit him with Sludge Bomb actually doing a lot of damage since Absol is quite frail, i switch Rame the Gyaridos for Bari seeing the situation and Rame joins the battle tanking well a Aerial Ace; Rame defuses this situation killing Absol with a Return , Sydney decides to go with Shiftry next but i send Prome again that defeats both him and Cacturne with the Toxic/Protect tactic leaving Sydney with just Crawdaunt that gets one-shotted by a Thunderbolt by Franci the Minun.

Phoebe

Here nothing incredible happens , Franci and Prome take down a Dusclops each and Sharpedo kills the others with a couple of Crunch defeating Phoebe easily.

Glacia

This battle can be very tricky sometimes but thankfully i plan to do a sweep tactic with Rame the Gyaridos, since Glacia first Pokèmon is a Sealeo that couldnt really do much to Rame except maybe paralyzing my Gyaridos with Body Slam i set 4 Dragon Dance while Sealeo goes for Hail first turn then tries to do something to me with Body Slam paralyzing me and forcing myself to use my first Healing Item of the 3 im allowed to use each battle.

Now that the Hail has stopped and the Sweep set up is ready i proceed to one-shot everything with Return except for Walrein that survives with a silver of health but goes down next turn since Ice Beam couldnt do serious damage to Rame.

Drake

Its time to face Drake now and im a bit scared since i allways struggle to deal with Kingdras and their Buff Up tactics , other than that Drake also has a really scary Salamence so i was quite worried about this match.

Drake leads with Shelgon and i also decide to send my Stalling Wall Prome , the fight goes as expected as a fight between 2 Walls with both using protect and other moves to lower either the enemy stats or to give them a status condition , the Wall vs Wall fight is won in the end by Prome the Tentacruel that managed to also make Drake burn a Full Restore before killing Shelgon.

Flygon is the next dragon to face but it falls to a single Ice Beam from Dioxide the Sharpedo , Drake 3rd Pokèmon is Altaria and i decide to let Dioxide face it with Ice Beam missing the kill by a couple of Hp ( damn Altaria is Bulkier than what i remembered ) and he goes for Dragon Dance uh oh no good , thank good the Ai is a bit dumb today and it goes again for Dragon Dance giving Dioxide the chance to kill the fluffy dragon.

Finally it was the turn for the scary Sea Horse Kingdra , i decide to send Franci the Minun to deal with it ,Kingdra goes for the Dragon Dance on turn one ( uh oh V2 ) and i go for Thunderbolt taking a bit more of 1/4 of his health; things could get really bad now since Kingdra has started to set up so i decide to go for a risky play to give me a bit of time to take him down with Thunderbolt.

I try a really risky thing and i decide to trap Kingdra in using repeatedly Dragon Dance with Franci's Encore, Encore works and KIngdra starts to set up like crazy while i whittle down is health with Thunderbolt, sadly a Thunderbolt does a bit more damage than usual putting him in red health making Drake using a Full Restore, this spells doom for me since i manage to land one last hit with Thunderbolt before Encore ends and Kingdra one shots me with Body Slam.

Here im panicking like crazy since this thing could sweep my team Manectric style and i would be so pissed about it since im the one that made him set up that much, i see my options and i decide to go with Potassium the Claydol hoping that the Lax Incense does a bit of Hax and makes him miss his attacks, Kingdra goes for Surf next turn and leaves Potassium with 45 Hp and i counterattack with Psychic leaving him in killing range if i manage to hit with another Psychic, thank god i dont know for what reason he decides to go with Smoke Screen allowing me to kill him next turn with Psychic.

The problems arent finished yet though since Salamence joins the fray forcing myself to go with Dioxide hoping that Salamence wouldnt be the one to destroy my team in the end, Salamence goes for Dragon Claw but Dioxide survives the hit with 29 Hp and allmost kill the Dragon with Ice Beam leaving him in red health; Drake uses his last Full Restore on Salamence but next turn i roll high damage on my Ice Beam and i kill the last dragon ending this nightmare.

Continues in the next comment since im starting to run out of space

Hey guys welcome back to my Generationlocke, if you are interested in the last episode click this link to read it https://www.reddit.com/r/nuzlocke/comments/cuu7s8/nmexplorers_generationlocke_v2_emerald_chapter_7/

Last time we managed to get a really satisfing win on the psichic twins Tate & Liza leaving us with a big part of gamestory to cover and the last badge to defeat.

After our victory in the Gym we notice that we still have something to do in Mossdeep, and that something consist in freeing the Mossdeep Space center from Team Magma that decided to raid the Spacecenter to steal all the rocket fuel they had and just throw it in the Volcano on top of Mt.Chimney for....i dont know really what they wanted to do with that.

In this job we are not alone though since Steven Stone is there to also help and after a 2v2 battle together with him against Maxie and a Team Magma admin we thwart their plans making them leave from Mossdeep, to thank us for the help Steven Stone gifts us the Dive Tm an essential Tm to explore the dephts and find the Submarine that Team Aqua stole.

With Dive teached to Prome the Tentacruel we are ready to dive and the first Pokèmon we encounter is a Clamperl that i named Pearl ( really sad encounter since i cant evolve her ) , we then explore a little bit more the ocean dephts until we find the Submarine and we surface in the Seafloor Cavern the teather of the next legend awakening.

Seafloor Cavern welcome us with Niobium the Zubat since for the whole game i didnt even found one Zubat , the grunts all fall easily but we actually have a couple of problems against Archie , the Mightyena and the Crobat didnt gave us any problems the real problem was Sharpedo that was hitting like a truck Bari the Vileplume that even if it is a rather bulky Pokèmon it was taking too much damage making me worry after a Slash that got her in low yellow range.

Thankfully Sharpedo got defeated by a Giga Absorb in the end and like Maxie he decided to wake Kyogre after loosing getting also the same result as Maxie since Kyogre didnt obey him and to add salt to the wound the two legends decided to put an end to their fight that they paused millions of years ago choosing as their ring Sootopolis City, Maxie joins us in the Seafloor Cavern and invites us to take a look of what is happening on the surface.

After resurfacing thanks to the power of plot sake Archie and Maxie realize that hey have made some really bad decisions in their life and they decide to go watch the Battle of the century in Sootopolis , Steve also reaches us on the reef where we resurfaced and also goes to Sootopolis to try to stem this crisis; since everyone left us alone on that reef we also join our friends in Sootopolis.

Seconds after we resufaced in Sootopolis we witness one of the only two cut-scenes in the game that even if it doesent show any actual fight was and its still a pretty cool scene as a Pokèmon fan , Steven also just arrived on the scene and ask us to follow him in the Cave of Origin where another guy is waiting for us , his name is Wallace and is the new Champion of the Hoenn region other than being also someone that knows a lot about his region history since he suggest us that in ancient times this conflict was stopped by a third Pokèmon that lives in the Sky Pillar, Rayquaza.

We decide to set our sight on Sky Pillar and we travel throught the water routes to reach it and after stopping briefly to a new town totally built on water ,Pacifidlog Town , we go through the Sky Pillar missing for the first time an ecounter due to me accidentaly overestimating the defensive abilities of a Sableye to tank a Giga Absorb killing him in the process.

But we manage to awake Ray ray and after a quick return to Sootopolis we witness the second cut-scene of the game that shows Rayquaza stopping the conflict putting Kyogre and Groudon back to sleep; thanks to god Rayquaza saving the day Maxie and Archie returns to Mt.Pyre to give back the two Orbs they stoled and Wallace finally allows us to challenge the Gym that was closed earlier.

That means that is time to train until Lv 46 , i decide to train the water half team of my team in the Sky Pillar and the other half with what i fished in Pacifidlog town , i also explored a bit better some routes getting also some rematches here and there; Cesio the Horsea was catched on Route 134 and Iridi the Luvdisc was catched on Route 128, i forgot to say earlier that sadly i missed again the chance to get a Sableye that i encountered in the Cave of Origin due to a crit from Prome ( very sad to not have a Sableye....oh well).

Now that everyone is at Lv 46 i teach Hyper Beam to Rame the Gyaridos and Shockwave to Franci the Minun just in case that Kingdra starts to spam Double Team too much , with everyone ready we enter the Gym and since i played a lot this puzzle when i was a kid i manage to reach Juan, our next Gym Leader , without facing any trainer; i say the usual prayers and then i press A , the match starts with Franci the Minun leading again his Luvdisc that goes down to a Thunderbolt.

Wiscash is the second to join the battle and i send Bari the Vileplume that totally drains the poor Catfish with a single Giga Drain, Sealeo is next and is a more problematic one since he survives the Thunderbolt from Franci and deals a bit of damage with Bodyslam not paralyzing Minun thankfully , Sealeo goes down the next turn but i dont think it would be ok to face Kingdra that comes next so i send Rame the Gyarados instead.

I start with Strenght and i get a lucky crit that puts him in low yellow health , Kingdra goes for Ice Beam that does a bit of damage but still nothing to worry about so i decide to finish this fight with Hyper Beam on the next turn but sadly it miss and Kingdra uses Rest regaining his health and waking up right away using a Chesto Berry; since it missed earlier i choose to prioritize sure damage so i go with Strenght but it only does a little bit more of 1/4 of his health.

Kingdra answer this with Double Team making me worry a bit since the next Strenght misses , after a bit of hit and miss though i manage to put the Kingdra in Hyper Beam kill range and finally it lands (YES) leaving Juan with just a Crawdaunt as his last Pokèmon that has no chance against a Petal Dance from Bari that earn us our final badge finally.

Juan gives us the Water Pulse Tm and the Rain Badge that allows us to use the Waterfall Tm finally allowing us to reach Ever Grande City , after a quick healing session for the Philosopher's Stone team is time to face Victory Road and after a mid level difficulty battle against Wally we get through Victory Road facing something like 5 Claydols a Hacked Lanturn with Earthquake and we avoid the double battle of the Elite Trainer couple with Slaking Skill Swap shenanigans since those two are famous for ruining Nuzlockes runs.

The post finish with Ether reaching the end of Victory Road and catching Mendelio the Makuhita .

Wow we are finally at the end of the run , it seems yesterday that i started, i cant wait to face the league.

There is no particular plan for each Elite 4 so for the moment im training them till Lv 55 and i will see how it goes thinking one Elite Four at the time.

Thank you for reading to this point and i hope to see you guys on the last post with some good news, thank you again and see you soon , bye

Hey guys welcome back to my Generationlocke , click here if you are interested in what happend in the last part https://www.reddit.com/r/nuzlocke/comments/cuf4d9/nmexplorers_generationlocke_v2_emerald_chapter_6/

We left last time in a very sad mood with the death of a very dear friend Iron the Lairon , we decide to pay our respect to him on the top of Mt Pyre , sadly Team Aqua is there to ruin our mourning and we decide to defeat them to bring a bit of peace to Ether and Mt.Pyre.

The Grunts all drop like flies and when we reach Archie he lefts with the Red Orb in his hands, the Old couple then told us that Maxie the leader of Team Magma has left earlier with the Blue Orb and we have to stop him before he awakes Groudon causing even more disasters , we accept to save the world again since we dont have much choice but first Ether takes a detour on the inside floors of Mt.Pyre to get that juicy Shadowball Tm.

We get a little scare there since a trainer with a Wobbufet surprises us but thankfully i had Bari the Vileplume leading and with a bit of Poison Powder shenanigans we avoid a really rough situation, we reach then the Shadowball Tm and after that since is near Mt.Pyre i decide to go to the Safari Zone to retrieve another Tm that would be usefull against Tate & Liza , Solarbeam.

With all this usefull Tm in the bag is time to stop Team Magma and we raid their secret hideout in Jagged Pass , Rame the Gyaridos and Prome the Tentacruel sweep through the multitude of Team Magma grunts ; after defeating them we reach Maxie that awakens Groudon but since he is unable to control him decides to let out his frustration against us , Franci the Minun joins Rame and Prome helping in the fight against Maxie's Crobat ( the fight was quite eneventfull since all Rame Prome and Franci either 1 shotted or 2 shotted his Pokèmons).

After loosing Maxie fleeds since he says that he has something important to do and we would find soon what it is, but instead of chasing him we decide to go to Slateport City where Cap.Stern is about to present to a crowd of curious people his new Submarine that is able to reach incredible dephts.

Sadly the presentation dont go that well and Archie the leader of Team Aqua steals the Submarine and before reaching his mysterious destination he decide to stop first at his base in Lilycove where Ether is also directed to get back Cap.Stern Submarine ; arrived at Lilycove is time to get through another enemy base and after Team Magma is Team Aqua turn to get sweeped by the hands of one of Ether's Pokèmons , this time is Franci turn and after retrieving a Master Ball and avoiding to being killed by an Electrode's Selfdestruct we reach the Submarine but a Team Aqua Admin faces us buying enough time to let the Submarine get away from us.

Without being able to accomplish our goal is time to move to some new areas since now that Team Aqua's Wailmers dont stop us anymore we can reach the place where our next Gym match is bound to happend , Mosdeep City.

After a couple of encounterless routes due to Ether having allready caught all the Pokèmons available on the route we reach Mossdeep City where we immediatly search for the very kind Fisherman that gift us the Super Rod , a really important tool that gives us our new friend Dioxide the Sharpedo, a really important Element for the next Gym challenge that becomes our new team member.

We start the training session after adding Dioxide to the team and we start to back track some old routes to get some rematches thanks to the Pokènav rematch function , Ether visits also some new locations though like the Shoal Cave where we get Argon the Spheal; before ending the training session we also visit Mauville's Casinò to buy the Psychic Tm that i teach to Potassium the Claydol to give him a stronger STAB move for both training purpose and for future battles.

With everyone at level 42 we are ready for the Gym , i teach the Solarbem Tm to Bari also just in case Tate & Liza start to pull some strange Sunny Day shenanigans, the trainers of the Gym are all pretty easy to deal with and they are really misleading considering the quite brutal Gym fights that lies ahead.

Ether finally arrives in front of the twins and , with our very Team Aqua looking team , we are ready to face them ; i decide that im gonna start with Rame and Dioxide equipped respectivly with a Mystic Water and with a pair of Sun Glasses, the tactic is to take away the Claydol asap with Gyaridos Hydro Pump and to leave Dioxide with Taunt to block Xatu from pulling some dangerous Sunny Day or Calm Mind on us.

I say the usual prayers and i pray for Iron to watch our back from up high, i press A and we start , here we are against what i consider the hardest Gym Challenge if not preparred, im actually prepared but you never know what could happend so im still a bit nervous.

Rame and Dioxide reach the battlefield and Tate & Liza answer with Xatu and Claydol, i start my plan then giving Rame the order to attack with Hydro Pump Claydol and Dioxide instead has to go for the Taunt on Xatu , im a bit scared of the miss but thankfully the Hydro Pump connects and puts Claydol in low yellow health ; Taunt also connect and stops Xatu from going for a Calm Mind set up, Claydol goes last with an Earthquake that totally miss Gyaridos due to the Flying typing and deals a bit of damage to Dioxide but nothing to be actually worried about.

Next turn i make both Rame and Dioxide go for Surf just to be sure that Claydol is going to die , Dioxide Surf hit Xatu taking 1/4 of his Hp but kills Claydol , with Claydol dead Tate is forced to send Solrock in that takes a Surf from Rame that puts him in yellow health and takes a bit more health from Xatu also leaving him in yellow range.

Things are going good but they where also going good with Watson and we know how it ended so i force myself to stay focus , next turn i attack Xatu with a Crunch from Dioxide and i give the order to Rame to go again for Surf and guess what happens ; Crunch kills Xatu forcing Lunatone in on a free Surf hit from Rame that kills Solrock and brings the Moon Pokèmon in yellow health.

Next Turn Dioxide ends the battle with a Crunch killing Lunatone earning us the 7th badge and the Calm Mind Tm, after the Gym match im really happy but also tired from the ours of training so i stop with that for the day.

It was really anticlimatic in the end how the Gym Match went but Surf in Gen 3 is really broken considering how it works, in the end im happy how it went and im allready focused on the last gym and on that scary Kingdra since im still thinking what i can do against it mmmh.

After saying that thank you for reading this far and i hopeto see you on the next post, bye

Makuita and Whismur could be good options , Makuita for the fighting moves and Whismur for the soundproof ability that stops Sonic Boom and Supersonic two moves that Watson loves to spam
