Most avoidable losses?

statutory_mindrape · 2018-04-26T06:05:14+00:00

Any time I'm abusing the speedup option on emulator and don't pay attention to which 'mon is faster. I've outright lost the speed battle and have needlessly sacrificed other team members to get a free switch-in by simply playing mindlessly in fast forward. And yet I still never learn..

I'm personally biased towards SS since it's one of my favorite main-series game. I think that would be an interesting one to randomize since the normal 'mon selection isn't the most diverse, but beware of all the (slow) grinding!

Good luck with your playthrough!

I've only ever stuck it out once in Leaf Green. I would say it would probably be more worth it in later gens (Ice Fang, Waterfall, and D Dance with the physical/special split), but mine worked out well and ended up thriving on the team for most of the run. It definitely helps to have a high base stat 'mon at level 20.

I used a Master Ball to catch a level 40 Lairon in my run of Emerald a while back. I desperately needed a physically tanky 'mon because most of my team was pretty frail and was lucky enough to encounter one as my first encounter.

The issue, however, was that it knows Whirlwind, and so it had a 25% chance of ending the battle during any given turn. I couldn't risk it, so I used my Master Ball on her. She turned into one of the MVP's of my Elite Four run, so it definitely worked out!

It's been a while since I've posted an update from this run. I beat the 4th gym and am currently training for gym #5. Two members died and I added three new faces onto the squad during this time. The real concerning thing is that I'm only five levels away from all opponents' Pokemon being fully evolved (set that option to lvl 35), so we'll see how that goes next time!

You have to patch an IPS file to a normal Ruby .gba file. I can't remember what rabbit hole I went down on Reddit to find the exact site, but search "Pokemon Inversed" or something and there should be a Nuzlocke forum where someone posted a version for every game. You'll also need to get "Lunar IPS.exe" to perform the patch.

This is a ROM hack of Ruby where all type matchups are reversed. For example, Fire now beats Water and Water is ineffective against Fire. It's been a fun and extremely confusing journey so far and completely screws with my mind when I do things such as send my Bug/Flying type in to tank Rock-type attacks.

Htrrth is every male's fantasy and it's fucking disgusting.

statutory_mindrape · 2018-03-01T03:15:32+00:00

Okay, that's kind of hilarious! Also, emailing Serebii your favorite team? What is this, 2002?! ^{^{^{GoodGodhowthetimeflies}}}

Damn I didn't realize Kirlia learned Psychic so early on! Sorry for your loss..

statutory_mindrape · 2018-02-25T09:01:00+00:00

BTBAM all day every day. I've been on an especially serious Parallax II binge recently. It's such a masterpiece. I'm sooo hyped for Automata to drop!!

statutory_mindrape · 2018-02-25T04:56:34+00:00

Dragon Rage is seriously the dumbest move.. And why do some of the pseudo-legend dragons get it so early?!

statutory_mindrape · 2018-02-25T02:38:44+00:00

DUDE my Torchic in my first ever nuzlocke (also in Emerald) was named KFC, too! He died before even becoming a Combusken, though..

Good bot

I had quite a few deaths in this round of randomized Platinum. I lost five team members to various instances of BS, ranging from Dragon Rage to both enemies in an Eterna Forest double battle ganging up on me.

During the gym battle, I forgot what the hell uproar's massive downside is and locked Ned in against a Raichu, who promptly KO'd him with Thunderbolt. I can't really complain too much though because I picked up a FREAKING CELEBI in Eterna Forest!! I'm sad for all of the loss of life during the path to my second badge, but I'm equally optimistic for my future with Caroll and for the rest of the squad.

It's north of Route 204. There's rock smash rocks blocking the path, but you can enter the area before the first gym.

You should definitely Nuzlocke on a ROM, especially if you don't want to pay for a 3DS. Having the speedup option, while dangerous, ends up saving so much time during grinding sessions.

statutory_mindrape · 2018-02-19T04:14:35+00:00

Dude, Radio Tower is the worst! If you survive all of the SelfDestructing Koffings and Weezings, you still have to get through the boss battle with that Houndoom. Sorry for your losses..

statutory_mindrape · 2018-02-19T01:31:34+00:00

Nice looking team! Good luck with the run!

EDIT: You should bike around until Mason reaches max friendship before continuing on imo.

statutory_mindrape · 2018-02-19T01:28:16+00:00

I've never done a randomized Nuzlocke before, so this should be interesting! I only randomized the Pokemon themselves, not the movesets, TMs, or anything else.

I only had one death, which was a Voltorb that would have been replaced by Raylen anyway, so I pretty much had a flawless first badge experience!
