Official TVTropes Nuzlocke Thread

Thinking of doing a blind run for White because if I don't it just means I'm a bad gamer.

But I'll put my mons in a "DEAD" box. The thought of releasing chills me.

When I attempted a Diamond Nuzlocke I released them like the rules stated. It didn't really mean much to me at the time, but now I'm wondering if I really want to release them or if I should just put them in a box like some other people do.

I suppose I should continue my Nuzlocke of Fire Red. >_>

I'll do that today.

I think for pokemon white I'll release so it hurts more.

So I lost the challenge. Stupid Azelf and Volkner.

I feel sorry for you. :(

I was grinding to oblivion with my team in White for the first Gym Battle, but then Mc Cut Guy the Panpour three-shotted Pansear and I discovered my worries were for naught.

Also, I'm going the comic route with my Nuzlocke Liveblog. I just feel a bit more freedom in terms of storytelling that way.

My Nuzlocke run isn't going so well. Lost 2 Purrloin and 1 Roggenrola before the second gym. haven't worked up he courage to go in yet, but I did beat N.

I like N, but I feel sad for him. And for my Pokemon :( Thankfully, he didn't kill any.

The Protomen enhanced my life.

So I am thinking of starting one of these. I started a file for one in Soul Silver to get the feel of things. My ekans died. He was doing wonderfully, but then a pidgey got lucky and crit him into nothingness. That was a fun experience. I think this will increase my opinion for this series greatly. I've always bitched about how weak my attachment to the mons is in comparison to many other games in the genre.

I'll be purging that save soon and starting over. Would be a good way to pass time during bus rides.

Rule wise I'm just going with...

1. You can only catch one mon per route and only the one you first encounter
2. You must name all your mons
3. Any mon that faints is dead forever
4. The dead mons must be placed in graveyard boxes

I would start the Pokemon Green Nuzlocke I promised you all if my dad didn't hide it somewherein the house that he can't remember.

FFFF.

Im going by those rules too

I'm having to learn to pay the price

Haven't lost anyone after the second gym, and my party is full again ^^

Going to try my first ever Nuzlocke Run. It'll be on SS and I'll consider writing a Dramatic Play Through and/or Comics if it gets anywhere.

Here are the rules:

• A fainted pokemon must be released, or permanently boxed if you so choose. This pokemon is DEAD, no ifs ands or buts.
• You may only catch the FIRST pokemon you see in each area. This means each route, cave, town, or building. Connected routes count as separate areas. This DOES NOT include repeat visits. A word to the wise If the pokemon faints or flees, too bad for you, it's gone, you used up your chance for that route.
• If a mon is permanently boxed it STAYS THERE. It only comes out after you either beat the champion, (or in the case of the Johto games, Red) or if you have the option, you send it to Pal Park or have it Poke Shifted to Gen V, effectively releasing it.
• White/black out means you are DEAD. Whether or not you have more mons in the box.
• No breeding. Self-explanatory.
• No trading, through wi-fi, with yourself, or with an NPC. The NPC rule may be changed.

No duplicates, if you caught a mon already and another is the first on the route, you may try again.

• It is considered traditional to nickname every pokemon you catch in order for you to form an emotional bond with the pokemon, so their death has more of an impact.

Suggestions for "fun" rules.

Code of hono(u)r: Each pokemon has its own specfic rules. For example:

• No Starter. [Trade in whatever I have the minute I get my first pokemon]

Optional Rules [Stuff that I'll try to do but not risk loosing the run for]:

• Items only. No pokemon centers allowed, no rest houses allowed. Unavoidable heals like with the partners in D/P/Pt are allowed. (Sounds interesting but expensive)

I'm working on a Platinum Nuzlocke (already lost my Bidoof Katie, but my Turtwig and Starly are going strong) but I can't find my game! Agh!

Doing traditional rules, but boxing instead of releasing. I have a box called "Graves" in my PC. It makes me sad to go in there.

Victory! Honor! Destiny! Mutton!

Is it okay if I link to my Touhoumon: World Link Nuzlocke thread? It's on another forum, so I'm not sure if that's allowed.

I wish I could do a Nuzlocke, but I have no games that I'm willing to delete the save file of.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

Buy one? I saw an old timey silver on sale for 12$ today.

Anom, you can trade any Pokemon you want to keep over to a different game for Com Mons, and restart that one.

Also: I've decided how to do my next Nuzlocke (which will commence as soon as I transfer over the Pokes I want to keep to White)

RULES:

a) Permanently box all fainted Pokemon. They are dead and can't be used any more. b) Nickname all Pokemon c) Catch only the first Pokemon on each route; if it faints or runs, no luck. Connected areas count as separate areas d) No starter. It has to be switched with the first Pokemon that's caught e) If I white out, I have to start over with the Pokemon in my box. NOT the dead Pokemon f) No repeat captures. If a Pokemon I've already caught is the first Pokemon on the route, I can faint it and find another one

And I'm gonna write it in a play format, since I can't draw to save my life.

Status Update:

Started writing a playthrough only to realize that it'd be funnier as a comic. Taking notes as I go to write later.

On the other hand, he's pretty much a bigger ass than Silver and I feel like there needs to be more of a dynamic between the two. No idea what to do on that front...

Badges: 2

Causalities:

• Iago The Spearow. 2-2. Damn Traitor.
• Puck the Rattata. 4-8. I really liked him.
• Jormungand the Onix. 6-10. Badass took one for the team.

Rules I've backed out on:

• It is considered traditional to nickname every pokemon you catch in order for you to form an emotional bond with the pokemon, so their death has more of an impact.

I accidentally [read: Got bored and mashed a one too many times] forgot to name my Pidgey. I think of him as Cityface though.

• No Starter.
• Items only. No pokemon centers allowed, no rest houses allowed. Unavoidable heals like with the partners in D/P/Pt are allowed.

Both were backed out of because they would have killed me before I got to the first gym.

See, I'm playing as the super nice trainer who feels she doesn't get the respect she deserves. I don't understand why every other run features the PC as an asshole.

I don't understand that either. I hate reading Nuzlockes where the PC is a rude, belligerent and conceited Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist.
