So since my last run through the Blaze Black2 mod ran into a snag where I couldn't progress through pokestar studios (the stupidest fucking part of b/w2 by far) without saving, I couldn't save over a previous save file, and I couldn't delete my save file, it's taken me awhile to get the courage up to play through another nuzlocke.

If anyone has any suggestions on that I'm open ears btw. Desmume doesn't seem to save the save file as a .sav or anything, it seems like the save is a part of the game file itself and the regular delete method (up+b+select or whatever) doesn't work either, I have to get an all new file before I can restart the game.

It's upsetting because I had a really great team put together, including a level 20 lucario and a soon-to-be empoleon, but couldn't save my movie at pokestar fucking studios.


SO anyways, restarted with Volt White2 this time and kicked things off. Goddamn is this game too fucking flush with tutorials. Some cunt next door followed me to find some bitch to get a pokemon. Bianca goes on for awhile about something before finally letting me pick up Veni the Snivy.

The stalker cunt wants to battle immediately, and pulls out some retarded little pig. In the hot sweaty tackle battle that follows, I learn that Veni has a hasty nature (+speed, -defense) and is at a clear disadvantage against this pig, who appears to have some sort of +attack nature as well, because Veni is being absolutely chunked.

Luckily, the stalker starts telling the little bastard to shake its ass at me or something, so Veni gets four free hits in for the victory.

Several dozen cutscenes and tutorials later, I head out on route 19 and pick up Django the Sentret, because hotdamn will he be a useful little HM slave.

I luck out on route 20 and the first encounter is a swinub. Mamoswine is a very strong ground/ice combo with great stat values and this mod has hidden abilities available in the wild, which means I could get one with thick-fat. Unfortunately, in my head I think ice>grass, and use vine-whip to deal a small amount of damage. Instead, it's super effective against the ground part and I kill me a swinub. Oh well. Some fatass won't let me pass and says I should get a badge first. If I wasn't sure he'd kick my ass, I'd disagree.

Flocessy ranch proves to be the most annoying place in the world. I'm hard-headed and obsessive, and I play all my pokemon games with a lot of early grinding. I decided that I wanted to leave the ranch with a servine. It's got some decently high level pokemon (a lot of level 8s) and a built in healer nearby. I don't believe in passing places like this up.

Unlike my last abandoned run-through, I pick up a mareep instead of a riolu, so Aurum joins the party and the ranks of pokemon that need to evolve before I leave the ranch. Here's where I hit my snag. Both of my pokemon have weak as dick attack stats and only physical abilities. On top of this, I run into pretty much only mareep.

There are level 8 taillows, hoothoots, and psyducks with the same % chance of encountering as mareep, and lillipups with double that chance, according to the pdf file with encounter rates that comes with the mod. Yet, all I run into are mareeps again and again. So it takes me several hours to grind, because one mareep takes 5 vinewhips or 8 thundershocks to kill, and are guaranteed to paralyze me, either through static or thunder wave which they favor, which makes the unable to move bullshit elongate the problem further. I'm also incredibly lucky with crithax. Every one of these little fuckers, when they decide to stop spamming thunder wave and attack, crits me with 90% certainty. Aurum and Veni both get away with sub 5 hp a few times. Early on, one of the few taillows I see gets a crit peck on Veni that brings him to 1 hp from fresh out the gate.

As I head to the ranch hand's wife to get her to heal my pokemon's wounds yet again, I realize how huge of an asshole I am. I come onto their ranch, take my pick of one of their mareeps, then force it into a mareep highlander. At the end, there is certainly only one mareep, as the bruised and battered sheep lie dying all around us and Aurum stands victorious. I'm talking several hundred dead mareeps, bleating pitifully before my beast of a pokemon boils the blood in their veins.

I leave the now defunct ranch and head back to the obviously senile Alder for whatever he asked for. The ranch hands have their herdier back, they just lost the entire flock to a madman's whims. They died for my entertainment, fret not. I use Alder's children to be the catalyst of Aurum and Veni's evolution. I am now the proud owner of Aurum the Flaaffy and Veni the Servine. Aurum has charge beam now and Veni has become a real beast, rocking both leaf tornado and dragon rage.

I beat the shit out of Roxanne for a bit (she's hanging out at Cheren's gym, probably giving him critiques), and her pokemon are tough. Nosepass has icepunch, bulldoze, and sturdy, and she uses him after her using Anorith and Lileep's rock tomb to slow down my pokemon drastically. They all have oran berrys, which are about a 40% heal at this level.

Anorith two-shots my servine with bug-bite, so I send in Aurum. Aurum's charge+charge beam combo OHKOs it and avoids the potion/berry shenanigans. Lileep was a foe I remember, because with no super effective moves to use against it, it's ingrain+potion+berry+synthesis made it a BITCH to kill.

One of the most annoying things to learn was that my new Servine, unlike my old one, has overgrow. Servine's hidden ability is contrary, which was what I randomed last run-through before needing to abandon. Contrary reverses stat changes. Bulk up lowers your attack and defense, sandattack raises your accuracy, etc. Getting +1 attack from intimidate and +1 defense from growl was amazing. Here, however, it proved to be a large time-saver, because growth was something I could actually use. 4 growths later and my leaf tornado one-shot cradily. Unfortunately, the rock-tomb spam leaves Veni too slow and too low on HP to dodge the ice-punches, so I'm forced to switch him back out with Aurum, who tanks a few bulldozes to kill nosepass.

I rinse and repeat a few times before heading in and wiping the floor with cheren, whose munchlax only lasts 2 hits against a fully charged Aurum. I realize he isn't using his regular pokemon, but you'd expect he would know that after 3 work-ups, he should attack, not just work-up to the death.

The basic badge is mine, and Bianca and Cheren both try to get my number. It's super awkward what with all the sexual tension in the air between these two. Then Juniper, someone I've never met, calls all of us at the same time. Either Juniper is just the laziest bitch ever and called us all to kill two pidgeys with one stone without a care for etiquette, or there is some serious big brother shit going on out here. Why is everyone stalking me?

I head back towards route 20 and find the same fatass blocking the path. Fond memories of beating the shit out of his riolu using my own riolu assail me, but I shove a few inches of electric sheep tail up his ass before frying his insides until he gets out of my way. I beat up a few preschoolers and their teacher, get stalked by my neighbor and cheren (they're teaming up now?), then head on to Virbank city.

 

Since I forgot to include the roster:

Veni level 18 Servine
Aurum level 19 Flaaffy
Django level 2 Sentret-slave


Got sidetracked replaying the entirety of ME2, and fuck is that game good. I'm home for the holidays and on total shutdown, so I spend pretty much all day masturbating, eating hummus, and playing vidya games. Back to Volt White2!

Entering Virbank, I'm immediately called by my mother and she recommends the virbank complex. Big brother indeed.

I keep moving and the first thing I notice is some crazy (I think) father/daughter combo arguing outside the pokemon center. The force of their screams brings me to a forced stop and I cannot for the life of me move on. What is with people around here? The girl just screams daddy issues. Lucky for him, she apparently turned to music and dog fighting--pokemon battling, I mean, instead of stripping.

When they finally leave, I follow dear old mum's advice and head for the Virbank complex, but not before picking up a Piplup from the clown in the building next to the gym. It's an interesting system, because you have access to old starters in the form of these clowns, but only based on the seasons. This one gives squirtle for spring, cyndaquil for summer, Treecko for autumn, and Piplup for winter. Empoleon is probably my favorite starter from gen II-XVIIIIIII because they all just blended together where he stood out to me. The water/steel type is something I'm interested in as well, since he is the only water type starter to get a secondary type. So Bonaparte joins the crew, with a +speed -attack nature. Helpful later, but screws me out of the hope to use his peck to freefarm on Brawly's lame ass.


I take my new pokemon in hand (with exp share in his hands) and head down tovirbank complex, where I luck out with the awesome -zigzagoon-. I kill that mother fucker and defecate on the course. I already have a sentret, the only thing worse here would've been a fuckin bidoof. After killing a few audinos out of spite, I head in to inner Virbank complex.

Here, I have even greater luck. Mid-stride inside a field of fucking grass, the grass directly in front of me shakes and as soon as I complete my already initiated step forward spawns a--you guessed it--Audino. I catch the bitch anyway, and Charles(Male Symbol)Nurse joins the squad.

I finish off the work in this area, coming across more or less every single pokemon on the wild roster PDF, along with several that weren't. Including Growlithe, Elekid, and Magby, whose evolutions are readily available (magmarizer/electrizer are sold at stores and are like evolution stones for the second two) and some of the strongest non-legendaries in the game. Arcanine has always been my favorite pokemon ever, reminding me of the dog I've always wanted and just being badass in general. 540 base stats don't take no shit.

On top of that, I came across a magnemite (who would roll through the upcoming poison gym with steel immunity), a croagunk (whose evolution is pretty cool and would also make the poison gym a lot easier), and a patch of rustling grass that yielded a PORYGON, which definitely wasn't on the PDF file. I caught the Porygon just because and stuck it in its own box to rot for eternity for not revealing itself earlier.

Whatever, I beat the shit out of some of the foreman's workers, because apparently I'm hired muscle, farm some audinos for a bit and lament on what could have been. I get CharlesMaleNurse up a few levels as well, thinking he might make a good tank, but decide against it. Too much effort for such a shitty pokemon. I'm sure I can get one of the hidden grottoes to get me a munchlax.

I move on to Brawly, whose waiting by the docks and just enjoying himself I guess, and challenge him to a D-D-D-Du-D-D-D-D-DUEL. As predicted, Bonaparte's peck is near useless, as is his metal claw with his pathetic attack stat. However, his brine is pretty capable, and Veni's dragon rage is pretty effective still at this level. I grind it out on his pokemon for a bit. Being a gym leader must have its perks, because this guys pokemon are ALWAYS ready for a fight. They will need to check his pokemon for potion side-effects or something.

The grinding is slow going however and while I had entertained a grind to level 36 to let Bonaparte laugh at all of Roxie's attacks, I cut that idea short pretty early on into this grind. I cut the grind short and head into the dingy little "club" where Roxie is burning off teenage angst. It's a good thing I've spent most of my earnings on antidotes and paralyze heals, which is a habit I seem to have picked up from my many years training pokemon. I mean, a habit I have.

The club's bass is pounding, but when I enter the actual area, the music turns out to be something out of an after-school tv special. An after preschool tv special. Wow Roxie, you're hardcore. You show them. Stick it to the man, you rebel. P-o-k-e-m-o-n, Pokemon!

With a rage in my heart, I send out Bonaparte to stop this atrocity. I don't remember if I instructed him to attack the guitarist and the drummer or their respective pokemon, but I hope he at least winged the band-members.

Roxie, the little cunt, opens with toxic spikes and turns out to be a real bitch. It's here that I take my first casualty. Veni and Bonaparte are low hp and poisoned from the fight with her trubbish and whirlipede already. I contemplate sending in Aurum and attempting to brute force it, but I'm fighting with only a level or two lead, no type advantages, and an environmental hazard going in. Aurum isn't quite the powerhouse he will be when he evolves, so I decide to sacrifice CharlesMaleNurse to buy myself some time. When he comes out and I realize that the enemy Koffing is a female, I use his deadly ability--attract--and proceed to heal my other pokemon. He tanks one hit easily, and then the Koffing is blinded by his manly charms and beyond infatuation.

I antidoted and potted both Bonaparte and Veni and Charles was still out there, using his manly wiles to distract his opponent. Not wanting to immediately switch him out, because goddammit he was going to be a sacrifice and die with some honor instead of being relegated to the box eternal, I had charles proceed to cure his own affliction and begin to double-tap that ass while continuously keeping the Koffing distracted with his massive man meat.

An 8 turn streak of love-based immobilzation and double tapping that hot sweaty koffing ass later, Charles finally goes down, NOBLY mind you, to a venoshock. Veni comes back in for the revenge rape and takes the Koffing down. Toxic badge, mine.

Immediately after, some black dude with blonde hair (that just looks weird) approaches me and says he likes my moves.

What is up with these stalkers? He asks me to come by a modeling agency or something. I'm not sure if this is for child pornography or for him to rape me, but I've got nothing better to do. I give CharlesMaleNurse a proper burial and send him off into the eternal poke-boxes of the afterlife, heal my pokemon, and set out for my destiny.

I said I would do another Heart Gold, and I am doing it. Limited No Repeats as usual, because my sleep schedule only lets me be up during the nighttime and early morning for the most part and I really do not want a team crammed within nothing but Rattatas and Hoothoots. Maximum of five random encounters per area to locate something new, after which it has to be bypassed with no catch.



So here we are in New Bark Town. After not listening to a word Mom says, and watching ditzy neighbor girl run around with a Marill (seriously, who uses a fucking Marill?) it's on to Professor Elm's lab. And my choices are...a mouse, a gay-looking clump of plant matter and a mother fucking alligator. THIS IS A HARD DECISION.

Rak Wrathraiser (actually just Rak) the Totodile is a leader for these times, and he will no doubt hunt down and consume many puny turtles. If you don't get this reference, shame on you for not having read Tower of God. That queer-looking ginger boy peeping into the lab can have the Chikorita.

Going through Route 29, and into Cherrygrove City. Some crusty old man gives me his used shoes. It must be Robert Freeman, singing the New Shoe Song. Nike make some good shoes.

So then I head up into Route 30 and, after being forced to talk to this fat dude for having the gall to walk past his stupid house (and getting some apricot box foisted onto me), I visit Mr. Pokemon's house. And get to meet PROFESSOR FUCKING OAK. I have an egg and a Pokedex now. Yay.

On the way back to grandma's house, I meet that ginger kid again. And beat his ass. A glimpse of his trainer card would indicate that his name is McDouche, though that doesn't seem to fit the seven-letter limit imposed by the Pokemon Gods. Oh well, McDouche it is.

So I get back to the lab and almost get arrested for Pokemon rustling. But ditzy jailbait neighbor girl with shitty Marill flashes the cop and he drops the charges. Egg given to Professor Elm, before I could make it into an omelette.

I get a tutorial from jailbait girl on catching Pokemon (weaken it more next time, bitch) and get Pokeballs and stuff. So now it's time to start catching them all.

Route 29 gives Yamato the Pidgey. Useless.

Quick trip into Route 46 gives Hard Gay the Geodude. Not useless, though if I'd been paying attention to Serebii I probably would have waited till later to use this location and tried to bag an Ekans or a Heracross from the trees. Meh, too late now and Geodude is boss for the early game anyway.

Route 30 yields Momerath the Caterpie. Useful only in the sense of I won't have to have it be my catch for better areas later. Quick breather to raise Hard Gay up a little.

Route 31 give Chitin the Metapod. See Caterpie.

Dark Cave bypassed for the moment, there are better things to be had there when I can access its other entrance via the Blackthorne City area. Into Violet City, where I take a quick hop down into Route 32 in hopes of catching a Mareep. Those hopes are dashed when I instead run into shitty Hoppip. Repressing the urge to just kill the bundle of crap, I catch Tumbler the Hoppip.

Now it's through Sprout Tower. Mr. Teeth the Rattata caught here, again mostly to strategically eliminate it as a first encounter in other areas. But it does go into the active team for now, as it will in the least prove useful against Morty down the road if I don't run into anything better.

Mr. Teeth gets some leveling in the routes outside Violet City, and also the bulk of the work against the monks in Sprout Tower since they all use Bellsprouts and both Rak and Hard Gay are weak to Grass. McDouche is at the top, muttering something or other about weak people and strong Pokemon. I think he takes it in the ass from his Bayleef.

Anyway, Elder Li gets his ass whipped by the power of Greyskull, by which I mean Hard Gay and Mr. Teeth against his Hoothoot and Bellsprout. I get a Flash TM (or is it still an HM in this game?) that I doubt I'll ever actually put to use.

Now it's Falkner Time. Hard Gay is the man of the hour. Falkner's mooks are no match for the power of Rock Throw. The boss himself proves somewhat more irksome. Pidgey lowers Hard Gay's accuracy via Sand-Attack and goes down to a Rock Throw counter. Pidgeotto on the other hand...gah. First move is to use my stocked X Accuracy to remove the debuff from the previous round. Pidgeotto still proves mighty annoying to down due to spamming the bejeezuz out of Roost and Rock Throw having an infuriating trend of missing at critical moments. It's a long fight, but Pidgeotto does eventually fall after making me dip deeper into my stock of Potions than I would have liked.

Professor Elm gives me a phone call. I have to raise the egg. Oh, and Random Geisha Girl Appears. O...kay then. Run around Violet City until the egg hatches into Gasper the Togepi. Serene Grace is nice. No access to Shiny Stone until post-E4 is not nice. Boxed.

Training through Route 32 is a bitch due to shitty Mareeps (which I find in droves NOW when I can't catch them) and Static activating everyfuckingtime I hit them. 30% my big hairy white ass.

Anyway, Repel spam through Union Cave since that's Lapras Country and fuck Zubat. Nice experience for Rak though, due to his being able to roll almost every trainer here with Super Effective damage.

Through a five-second rainstorm that is Route 33 (no catch for the moment, waiting until I get Headbutt) and into Azalea Town. I have to be a hero and save the Slowpokes from Team Rocket. Ha ha, old man fell into the well. Kokoa the Zubat caught within the mystical confines of Slowpoke Well. Hard Gay gets most of the work on the Rockets.

Azalea Gym. Hard Gay out in front again and smooshing little insects like a boss. Bugsy is much easier than Falkner. Rock Throw oneshots Scyther after it wastes a turn using Leer. Rak comes out to clean up on Metapod and Kakuna, and hits level 18 to end the battle. Rak evolves to Croconaw.

McDouche then gets another beatdown. Mr. Teeth chomps his entire team, wasting Gastly with Bite and both Zubat and Gayleef with Hyper Fang (thanks to Bayleef using PoisonPowder and activating my Rattata's Guts).

Hoping to bag a Paras inside Ilex Forest to use as a Cut slave, but way too many wild encounters with Caterpies and Metapods result in this being a no-catch route. Pity. After chasing down birds and getting free Charcoal and Cut HM, it's on towards Goldenrod City. But not before Headbutt.

Hard Gay learns Headbutt from the Move Tutor in Ilex Forest, and it's back to Azalea Town to start using it. Please give me a Heracross like in my last Heart Gold Nuzlocke, game. But no, it's a Spearow. Blargh, Vincenzo the Spearow caught.

Route 33 adds Furuichi the Aipom via Headbutting.

Back through the woods (another random geisha). Route 34 gives me Emily the Hoothoot via tree bashing. Didn't want a Drowzee because it sucks and I'm not giving up my Eevee to do the Machop trade in Goldenrod. There are other ways to cheese Whitney. Jailbait introduces me to her grandparents, cue hilarious misunderstanding from her grams who actually believe the Glorious Me would ever hit that ratty shit. Not when there be Sabrinas and Erikas abounds, maties.

Head into Radio Tower to do the hardest quiz ever. Damn Whitney, you be one dumb bitch. Before tackling the gym, it's on to Route 35 and its environs for more catching. Now tired of wasting areas on hitting trees. Was trying to get an Exeggcute earlier, but it takes too long to level and gets nothing to attack with until Level 27. Fuck that noise.

Philip II the NidoranM added on Route 35. It is Tuesday, and thus Bug Catching Contest time. Since I want the strongest and best bug to win the contest, nothing but a Scyther or a Pinsir will do. So that is what I am on safari to catch. Scyther pops up first and is caught and added to the active team. I only bag second place in the contest because some little shit caught a Pinsir. Oh joy, an Everstone. Amaranth the Scyther added.

Route 36, after ignoring a couple of NidoranM and a Hoothoot due to my handy dandy catch rules, turns up golden as I grab Akamaru the Growlithe. Mr. Teeth is now boxed, no interest in wasting time leveling him further.

So, time for everyone's favorite gym. DAT MILTANK. Hard Gay does not approve of all these girls, and sallies forth to dispense some rainbow justice. And he does. Hard Gay shrugs off all Whitney's underlings with minimal damage. And now it's time to spank the cheerleader. Hard Gay gathers his bearings against Clefairy, in the form of a pair of X Attack boosts while Clefairy burns both turns using Metronome to no result (Bite the first turn and Mist the second). Magnitude wastes Clefairy on the third turn.

Miltank. Whitney can see the apathy on HG's face and doesn't even bother setting up Attract, instead opting to have her milk cow stomp on Geodude's face. Little damage, and it fails to flinch. What does not fail is Magnitude 10 with +2 Attack. Miltank is down in one hit. Razor Ramon HG is your hero. Whitney is bawwing like a little bitch, and I'm saving the game and ending this epic tale for the moment.

The only really shitty part about the Blaze Black 2 Nuzlocke I'm doing is that I have a fucking zigzagoon that has natural zeroes in all IVs and I have to actually use it.

And that EVERYONE has fucking fire and electric and those are my team's two biggest "get shit on" points.

 

Right, one week later and I have some writing to do.

So after defeating Whitney and her bitch Miltank, I go to the Pokeathalon Dome and introduce myself. No gaming there right now because fuck it. I move into Route 37, and Headbutt a tree so as not to get stuck with that interact Sudowoodo. It sucks and is annoying to catch. The tree yields Farnsworth the Exeggcute, which sucks a little less and is a little less annoying to catch.

Into historic, beautiful Ecruteak City. First I enter the Dance Theater and beat up a Rocket, winning the admiration of another kimono cutie and, more importantly, a Surf HM. Rak immediately learns Surf and uses it to demolish McDouche inside Burned Tower after that ginger cunt shows up whining about weak people and shit. Poor self-esteem, son.

Oga the Koffing (tell me Koffing's expression doesn't look like Oga's troll face, those of you who have read Beelzebub...and those of you who haven't need to do so). I really should use a Pokemon named for the great Oga, but Koffing sucks so lolno.

After also meeting a pasty dude and some faggot in a bowtie, I go into the Pokemon Center and meet Bill. This computer expert and I are on the same wavelength. I spend the better part of a week chilling and soaking up the culture of Ecruteak (I was totally not helping Bill rig the Kimono Girls' dressing room with a webcam). Hey, brother needs some extra money because my shitty deadbeat Mom keeps skimming my battle winnings.

Fast forward a week then, and I head back to Goldenrod City where Bill gives me an Eevee for services rendered, though I have no idea what services. But fuck yeah free Eevee (Freevee?).

Of course, now I have to do something with the little bugger. After kicking around the idea of using Jolteon, I decide to be a lamer and roll with my old standby. Lots of running around with a Soothe Bell attached eventually allows me to evolve Sergio the Eevee into Espeon.

Cue Eye of the Tiger, plenty of training time inside Burned Tower to get my little monsters (especially the lower-leveled Espeon) up to scratch and then it's into Ecruteak Gym.

Sergio demolishes this entire gym single-handedly. As an aside, by Gen 4 there are plenty of Ghost types that aren't fucking Gastly and its tree. Developers should have given this place a little more variety. Just even a Misdreavus or two, yeah? Oh well, Mass Confusion reigns, with the only damage Sergio takes in destroying the place and its pasty-faced leader being a Sucker Punch from some mook's Haunter.

So that's four Badges down. Into Route 38, where I apparently stumble into a swarm, as my first encounter is a Snubbull, which has a 1% encounter chance normally. Of all the swarm Pokemon to find, it's this piece of shit. Bah, whatever, Aunt Marge the Snubbull caught.

Route 39 is Raticate Fever, as rodents are all I manage to find. Catch Rodentia the Raticate here. Of course the Magnemites finally start coming out after that. Fuck you with a stick, game.

No catch in Olivine City, though I wouldn't mind catching and taming a wild Jasmine. But she will fall for my manly charms and give me a free Steelix at some point in the indeterminate future. I also get a Good Rod here. Oh, and McDouche is in town whining about Jasmine caring for a sick Pokemon. She probably just doesn't want to talk to that loser, and neither do I. So I climb the Lighthouse, using the opportunity to give Akamaru the Growlithe some experience now since I won't be using him on the sea routes to come next.

So, meet Jasmine, get a mission to go to Cianwood City and get medicine for a sick Ampharos. The things one must do for love. Also at some point I met this dude named Booba and got his phone number. Safari Zone, yo.

Onto Route 40 first, where I use my new fishin' rod in hopes of getting something that isn't a Magikarp or a Tentacool. I land a fish. It's orange, it's retarded, it's weak and it somehow becomes badass despite all that. Who else could it be? Naruto the Magikarp caught.

Route 41 has me bow to the inevitable and catch Heal Slime the Tentacool. So I wanted neither of these shitty shits and got stuck with both. Meh. Amaranth and Rak get the lion's share of the experience en route to Cianwood.

Now in Cianwood, where the first order of business is to grab Shuckie. Great name, and shame on you for being scared out of a Pokemon by McDouche, whoever you are in that house. You could literally have owned that faggot with a Magikarp. But then again, it's hard to be as bad ass as I am. Speaking of weak posers, Eusine is here jerking one off to Suicune (again). I'll never understand bestiality, brah. His perversion is punished by a beat down at the hands of Sergio (now using his nifty new Shadow Ball acquired from Ecruteak Gym) and Hard Gay handles Electrode. Hard Gay is now retired, as I officially have no more use for Geodude. I have plans for a much mightier pile of rock that will come to fruition soon enough.

Surfing the wilds around Ecruteak for more experience. Almost have a disaster here when a Swimmer's Gyarados drops Sergio to like 2 HP with a critical Thrash. But it doesn't kill so I'm cool. Rak evolves to Feraligatr right before I move into Cianwood Gym. Sergio does his think here, though some of the trainers' Pokemon are pretty tough and take more than one burst of Confusion to put down. So I do have to do a little healing in between some battles, no biggie.

Chuck is no problem. Primeape goes down in one shot of Confusion. Poliwrath is a bit more of a grind due to having a Sitrus Berry and decent defenses, but falls without ever seriously threatening Sergio.

Storm Badge, Focus Punch TM, Fly HM and medicine acquired. My very first wild catch, Yamato the Pidgey, comes out of the box to be Fly Slave. Deliver the medicine, and don't even get a hug for my trouble. Fine then, Jasmine, play hard to get. But don't cry when I kick your ass in a while.

But before that, Warden Booba calls to let me know that the Safari Zone is open for business. Sounds like an invitation worth accepting.

So back to Cianwood. I could have Surfed up a Wooper or Quagsire inside the gate, but didn't bother for now. It'll still be there if I somehow need it later. Likewise no catch on Route 47 since I can't access the lone patch of tall grass without Waterfall, though I did manage to grab Al Bundy the Krabby inside Cliff Cave. Was hoping for a Misdreavus, but I'll deal.

Route 48 yields Pecos Bill the Tauros, which I briefly consider using but decide not to because it has a pretty crap move pool (I'd totally use it if it learned Megahorn) and levels slowly. And my Scyther is still better.

Now at the Safari Zone. Booba wants me to catch a Geodude and show it to him. So, being the genius that I am, I instead go back to the Pokemon Center and pull out Hard Gay. Using a can of that cheap-ass Walmart camo spraypaint, I disguise Hard Gay's Pokeball as one of the Safari Zones and Booba is too stupid to notice the deception. He promises another task later, leaving me annoyed that I am not yet free to go and grab my Larvitar.

Now, more leveling in advance of Olivine Gym. Akamaru learns Flamethrower, which means it's time to evolve him to Arcanine. And THAT means that it's time to waste time at the Pokeathalon. My Tauros does prove useful here at least. Feraligatr, Scyther and Tauros repeatedly humiliate the competition in the Stamina Challenge. 2,500 points later, I purchase a Fire Stone and evolve Akamaru with it.

The big mutt celebrates by roasting Jasmine's Pokemon. And then I leave, because she had her chance earlier.

Now I have to go to the Lake of Rage, because there's nowhere else to go. So back to Ecruteak, and through the eastern gate to Route 42. Get a Strength HM from some beardy here. Also grab that Shadow Claw TM I forgot to get earlier. Surf across the water, have another encounter with Suicune and Captain Bestiality. Pick up Sheep the Mareep on the route here. Great name, yeah?

Nothing to do in Mahogany Town except head north. Two Face the Girafarig caught on Route 43.

Oh hey, it's a Red Gyarados. Got to have this bitch. A bit annoying due to having to heal a couple times due to Dragon Rage, but Amaranth's False Swipe weakens the big nasty bastard enough that one Ultra Ball brings Enryu the Red Gyarados to the bro team.

It's Lance, bah gawd. What a bad ass in that cape. I want one too. He wants me to help him sleuth out some radio signal. I didn't hear it because I spent the entire trip through the Mahogany region listening to Elvis. But nobody can refuse Lance, so it's on to paste a lot of weak-ass Rockets.

Blah blah blahity fucking blah, a lot of easy fights and a wild Troll the Electrode later and I'm done. Lance is a bro and gives me an HM that I won't need for a while, and goes back to Indigo to wait for me to come and kick his ass later. You wish I would give up now. Not while I still have a perfect run going, sir.

Booba calls back again, so I think it's time for me to go grab a Larvitar in the Safari Zone. Later.

Put on my khakis and safari hat, use some magic to change the place into a mountain zone and in we go. Quite a menagerie this place is, with magnet things and pink piles of shit and rats galore. But a wilderness master like myself knows which prey to stalk.

As sunrise breaks, I spy a LARVITAR. The little bastard doesn't want to be caught, as it breaks out of no less than three Safari Balls. However, it's a little badass that also refuses to turn tail and run. I too am a badass, you see, and this beast knows its destiny. At last it is caught, and named for the most epic little tyrant there ever was.

Laharl the Larvitar added.

So then it's back to whatever the route is north of Mahogany Town to train this little monster. It's a slow process, made even slower by damned Flaaffy's and their always activating Static, but it's the only safe place to do this. The wild beasts outside the Safari Zone are still too strong for a level 17 Larvitar to manage. It takes some time, but Laharl eventually makes it to Level 30 and evolves to Pupitar. Once that's done, I can fly back over to the Safari Zone, head south and complete its training against the more experience-rich Pokemon that it can now handle. Four more levels brings Pupitar up to snuff and it's on to Mahogany Gym.

I don't really have good type coverage in this place, since the bulk of trainers use Seels and Dewgongs, which I am unable to hit Super Effective due to a lack of a Fighting type. Laharl could do it with Rock Slide, but he's slow and takes Super Effective damage right back from their Water and Ice moves and I have no intention of risking my future Tyranitar here.

Anyway, Arcanine and Feraligatr run most of the gym. Espeon comes out to lead against Pryce, taking out his Seel and Dewgong with Psybeam while Arcanine swaps in and out to roast Piloswine in between the two. And that's seven badges.

Booty call from Professor Elm, though it seems that he was meaning to call McDouche for that. Oh well, Team Rocket is up to retarded stuff again and it's up to the conquering hero of the story to stop them. So to the Radio Tower we go.

Not much to describe here, aside from stealing a Rocket uniform because I'm a slick ninja like that, but getting exposed by McDouche (who gets his ass kicked for his gall not long after). And also adding a fourth Kimono Girl to my fan club. McDouche leaves after getting beaten into the pavement again, pondering what Lance apparently told him while bending him over the table back in that Rocket base in Mahogany Town. Something about not loving his Pokemon enough. But no, the truth is that you just suck and should become An Hero, McDouche.

Anyway, Team Rocket falls to my mighty might and we're headed for the last badge.

Route something-or-other east of Mahogany Town yields Crybaby the Weepinbell. Should have named it McDouche after the biggest crybaby there is, but that's a disgrace that I wouldn't force on any Pokemon aside from maybe a Delibird.

Ice Path brings Orson the Swinub. Waterfall HM acquired, and soon will be taught to mighty Rak. Last geisha sighting too.

A couple more wilds added after getting to Blackthorne, Herpderp the Wobbuffet inside Dark Cave and Tsuchigumo the Gligar on that mountain path that you have to do like three times to get all the trainer battles. Fucking ledges.

And then...time to tame the bitch. And her fucking Kingdra. Ugh.

Rak handles most of Blackthorne Gym, and Akamaru takes point on Clair. Two Thunder Fangs handle Gyarados, with a Dragon Rage taken in between.

And then comes Kingdra.

This is by far the longest and most dangerous encounter of the run thus far. Of course, it's pretty much impossible to have anything that can actually nail this bitch Super Effective due to no Dragon moves being yet available (without trading or getting a Dratini from the Game Corner anyway). So it's up to Rak to wall this monster. Crunch is the attack of choice, but it's slow going.

Rak has to eat close to a dozen Dragon Pulses and Hydro Pumps, while also repeatedly having his accuracy dropped by Smokescreen. Kingdra's ridiculous speed, bulk, Sitrus Berry, Clair's Hyper Potions and Rak's misses due to Smokescreen make this a real nightmare. How the Hell I managed to get through this without losing Rak to an ill-timed crit is beyond me but Kingdra does finally go down.

Rak tags out to Scyther to shake its accuracy drops against Clair's first Dragonair. The plan is just to U-Turn back to Feraligatr and finish this oversized worm off with Ice Fang, but U-Turn criticals and does the job on its own. Nice. Rak comes back in and wastes the last Dragonair with Ice Fang.

What? You're not giving me a badge? Fuck you, bitch. I'm calling the A-Team.

Okay, so I just pass the little test and get Ddraig the Dratini with ExtremeSpeed for the trouble.

Professor Elm calls again, and I go and get a Master Ball. And get invited to Ecruteak Dance Theater for what I hope is a wild geisha girl orgy. Hopefully they're not just going to kill me over that webcam. It was all Bill's fault, girls. I promise.

LOL, McDouche got his ass kicked by someone else again. And he runs away crying.

So now it's five battles in a row. No sweat for the champ.

Espeon takes point, but this is mostly switching to exploit type matchups.

Scyther comes in to handle Umbreon first, a little back and forth due to Umbreon having heavy defenses, but its Dark Pulses are no real threat and Amaranth eventually sinks it with U-Turn.

Sergio handles its mirror match with Shadow Ball. Rak downs Flareon, Laharl handles Jolteon (which does nothing except be extremely annoying with Double Team) and Sergio has to handle Vaporeon on its own because I have virtually no Water coverage at the moment.

Climb the Tower of God (or whatever) and catch Ho-oh. I want to use it, I really do. It is a storyline Pokemon after all, so it seems 'natural' to make use of it. But it might be called Bad Juju to use a Legendary on a Nuzlocke run. This will require thought.

Ho-oh

 

Ha ha ha.

Okay, so I decided not to use Ho-oh. Because that's cheating and cheateg is bad. Mmmmk?

Instead I take a trip through Mt. Mortar, beat down the Karate King and take his Tyrogue. That I name Spartacus, because Spartacus was a bad mofo. Once that's done, I go to Mr. Pokemon's house and give him Enryu's scale in exchange for a Exp. Share. Put that on Tyrogue, head back to the Safari Zone and down to route something or other. Use Laharl to kill things and channel half the experience to Spartacus. Timely use of an Iron at Level 19 ensures his evolution to Hitmonchan.

Spatacus will be a team member, but he goes back to the box for now because I need an HM slave to get to and through Victory Road. And away we go, mateys.

Catch Vampirella the Golbat inside Toujo Falls (spelling it this way out of homage to the Beelzebub character, of course). Took five Ultra Balls, the bitch did. It is but a trifling annoyance compared to what is to come.

Red Hare the Ponyta follows in the route...I really do not know or care right now which one it is before Victory Road. A backup Fire type, but since I have a badass Arcanine I would never need a reserve Fire. Right? Right?

Lex Luthor: WRONG

Inside Victory Road, the first encounter is a wild Graveler. Risk vs reward in catching it is skewed in the wrong direction thanks to Selfdestruct, so I just burn it to death with Akamaru's Flamethrower. It works...this time.

A few battles later, same situation. Flamethrower...does not kill (which seriously should not happen even with resistance), leaving a wild Graveler deep in the red in HP.

Selfdestruct.

A Critical Hit!

This [redacted, 30 word long tapestry of obscenities] game.

Oh no no no. There will be some rule bendin' here, me hearties. This shit-stained monument to cheap mother skullduggering fuckery shall not stand. Time for me to go all Harvey Dent and pull out the coin.

Heads: I pop a Max Revive on Akamaru and move on like this didn't happen.

Tails: It's Ho-oh time, faggots.

Tails it is. The firebird is coming out of the box.

And so onward to the Pokemon League, to bury Akamaru and call out the rainbow god.

...McDouche. Seriously, just Get The Fuck Out. No lie, I will break the fourth wall and rewrite the game's code to wipe your queer-looking soulless hairy ginger asshole from existence.

After leaving McDouche looking like his namesake, into the League. My perfect run has been ruined. Renaming unlucky Box 13 to my crypt and putting Akamaru inside and pulling out Ho-oh. Somebody tell me now if I should just tank this run as illegitimate for using a Legendary, because I don't much care now.

See above and add a Golbat and a Ponyta, not in the mood right now

Graveyard

Akamaru (Arcanine) - This is two Arcanines lost in two runs. This Pokemon and I are not compatible it seems.

 

If you want to keep it legit, grind on that Ponyta until it's appropriate.

 

LOL, Rapidash is scrub-tier, levels slowly and the Ponyta is like 25 levels behind the rest of my team. But the main part is that it's scrub-tier. Legendaries aren't banned in the basic Nuzlocke rules anyway, it's just an addendum rule that most people (myself included) usually follow as a matter of course. This time I'm not going to. If that offends any of the purists, I do apologize with utmost sincerity, but that was one bullshit crithax too many. Plus I already wasted my Earthquake TM on Ho-oh.

 

How in the hell does Ho-oh learn Earthquake?

 

Via TM, it would seem. Don't ask me, I'm just abusing it. >_>

Dat Sacred Fire/Brave Bird/Earthquake/Giga Drain (when I get that TM) moveset.

 

Lots of weird stuff learns weird moves. Like surfing Rhydon/Rhyhorn, for example. I don't remember if they corrected that or not, but I do remember that it was in G/S/C, and they even had an episode of the anime that focused almost entirely on a surfing Rhydon/Rhyhorn.

 

So right, I was talking about Ponyta and not wanting to use one?

Well, I found another one while I was leveling ol' Spartacus outside of Victory Road.

Except it was Shiny. Now, I think I pretty much have to use that. To not do so would be to invite the wrath of the Pokemon Gods. So Ho-oh heads back to his Legendary roost and my yet-to-be-named Blue Ponyta joins the team.

 

Sanic.

I challenged Menace to play Nuzlocke Diamond with me, and then CareOtter got involved with his hipster Platinum, so it turned into a three-way challenge. If we beat the game, we’re to have a Wifi fight to the death with our remaining Pokemon. Winner takes all.

So.

I started with Piplup (because Menace called dibs on Turtwig). Piplup was male, quiet-natured, obviously a Lutris if I ever saw one. I actually forgot about this blond speedball rival who follows me around. His name is apparently Adam. After I got rid of him and that other idiot Lucas, I went off to catch some Pokemon.

I was blessed with a level two Starly in the first route, and I sense excellence in its future, so I named it Calz. On the next route, I came across a Shinx with Intimidate which I snatched up immediately. Its name is MattSilver.

Team:
Lutris (Piplup, Level 6).
Calz (Starly, Level 2).
MattSilver (Shinx, Level 4).

---------- Post automerged at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

Got to Jublife in one piece and I was forced to answer stupid questions to get a watch. I suppose it may come in useful. I also did a bunch of training on the way to the mining town. Calz turned into a badass like I predicted, MattSilver is floating through life, and Lutris murders anyone who stands in his way. I had a slightly scary experience when I poked my head into route 204 and was ambushed by my blond rival. I hadn’t gone to the Pokemon Center so my Pokemon were a bit weak, but I pulled through with the help of my Potions.

I didn’t catch any Pokemon in the meanwhile. Route 203 turned out a Bidoof that I killed without mercy. Route 204 was a Shinx, which I was forced to kill. The cave to mining town gave me a Geodude, which I accidentally murdered in one hit. Who knew Bubble was so powerful? The actual mine in the mining town gave me another Geodude that I didn’t bother to capture.

So! I’m right before the gym leader now. I’ll battle them later, though.

Team:
Lutris (Piplup, Level 13).
Calz (Starly, Level 11).
MattSilver (Shinx, Level 11).

---------- Post automerged at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 PM ----------

Stuff happened.

I’m not even going to talk about Rorak. I didn’t get a scratch from him. No, I’m talking about that fucking flower town and those fucking Galactic people. Me and my Pokemon were murdering shit left and right, but then I met that one Galactic grunt with the Glameow and it fucked my Starly up. It got a crit on Faint Attack, and then my Starly was gone. I may have cried on Skype.

After the funeral, I beat the rest of the grunts, and then changed my DS’s clock to snag me a Drifloon, but apparently clock cheating doesn’t work for this one Pokemon. I'll come back for it later. <_<

In the route above Windworks I found a pink Shellos. I caught it and named it Cheddar. It will be boxed for emergencies.

In Eterna Forest, I found a Budew which my green-haired partner nearly killed. I caught it in time though, and I named her Drome. One day she will do great things. Terrible, yes, but great. Also, fuck that one battle at the upper right in the forest. A fucking Pacharisu nearly murdered Lutris, but MattSilver set that battle right.

I think that’s it for today.

(Also, I caught a Machop above mining town I called Ollie, but then he died as switch-bait. No regrets).

Team:
Lutris (Prinplup, Level 19).
MattSilver (Luxio, Level 18 ).
Drome (Budew, Level 10).

Box:
Cheddar (Shellos, Level 8 )

Rest In Peace:
Calz (Starly, Level 15).
Ollie (Machop, Level 5).

 

Alright, back after taking a whole lot of time grinding for the E4. Having to raise two Pokemon up from much lower levels: kinda shitty. You all know about my blue Ponyta (u jealous Vira?) that I ended up naming Palehorse after it evolved into some kind of zombie horse looking abomination of a Rapidash with sallow skin and silver flames. But I still love him. Sort of.

Now then, Elite Four time.

Team heading in:

Rak - Level 50 Feraligatr: Thrash/Ice Fang/Waterfall/Crunch
Sergio - Level 48 Espeon: Psybeam/Shadow Ball/Swift/Sand-Attack (yes, I know, shitty moveset but that's the trademark of Eeveelutions)
Amaranth - Level 48 Scyther: U-Turn/Night Slash/False Swing/Wing Attack
Laharl - Level 48 Pupitar: Thrash/Crunch/Rock Slide/Earthquake
Spartacus - Level 48 Hitmonchan: Sky Uppercut/Thunderpunch/Fire Punch/Ice Punch
Palehorse - Level 48 Undead Rapidash: Flame Wheel/Megahorn/Bounce/Fire Blast

Now time for fightin'.

Will opens up with a Xatu, which Sergio oneshots with Shadow Ball. He sends out his second Xatu, same treatment. Exeggutor gets raped for quadruple damage by Amaranth's U-Turn. Scyther comes out again for Slowbro. First weakens Slowbro with Night Slash, and then finishes it with U-Turn (Slowbro set up a useless Curse in between). Jynx is last, U-Turn'd.

Choice Scarf goes onto Sergio for the battle with Koga. In summary, Espeon wastes Koga's Ariados, Venomoth and Crobat with Psybeam. (the Choice Scarf was meant to allow Sergio to outspeed Crobat, but the little bastard survived with little HP and set up Double Team anyway...but fell in the next round). Forretress gets roasted by zombie horse's Fire Blast and Laharl kills Muk with Earthquake.

Choice Scarf replaced with TwistedSpoon for Bruno.

The Espeon Rape Tour continues against this big lunk. Psybeam oneshots all three Hitmons, Rak subs in to drop Onix with Waterfall, and Machamp manages to survive one Psybeam and counters with Rock Slide. Ho hum, I actually did have to take damage once en route to Lance.

Next is Karen. Hitmonchan leads and OHKO's her Umbreon with Sky Uppercut. I get a little arrogant and leave Spartacus out against Murkrow, and risk paying dearly for it as the crow manages to do more than 1/2 my little gladiator's HP with Pluck (meaning crithax would have been fatal). But it's just a regular hit, Thunderpunch kills Murkrow in revenge. Sergio does his thing to Gengar, OHKO Psybeam. Rak kills Houndoom with Waterfall and Palehorse finishes the battle by roasting Vileplume with Fire Blast.

So, easy as fuck run to the top so far. That comes to an abrupt end against the dragonlord.

Let me preface by saying that I was an idiot and underprepared for Lance. My usual strategy is to come in with a bunch of X Attacks (or X Specials, depending on the circumstance) and X Speeds to set up whatever Water/Ice Pokemon I have against Lance's Gyarados. Or use Dragon Dance if I have a Gyarados of my own, of course. It's a little cheap, but it works.

And would have this time, if my retarded ass hadn't forgotten to buy the X Attacks.

So now I'm left fairly certain that Rak isn't going to be able to oneshot Lance's Dragonites with Ice Fang. Spartacus can do that job with Ice Punch, but doesn't have the speed to outrun them (risking getting pre-emptively killed) or the punch to kill Charizard or Aerodactyl in one hit without 4X damage. Or the speed to outrun them either for that matter.

I have to be very careful, then, and have a little luck. This wouldn't be a problem at all if I weren't Nuzlockeing and had a free hand to use sacrificial Pokemon to heal up between ass kickings, but alas.

Rak leads against Gyarados. Intimidate lowers Rak's attack, and I'm left relying on low damage from Crunch to slowly whittle down Gyarados. Dragon Pulse (and later Flail as its HP drops) do no serious damage. When Gyarados is getting close to the point where Lance will heal it, swap in Sergio and finish the job with Psybeam. Thank God this thing didn't have Dragon Dance. I would have been forced to use Spartacus for a quicker kill instead, and him taking damage right now would have complicated the rest of the plan to a large degree.

That brings out Aerodactyl. Thunder Fang puts Rak at critical, Waterfall counter kills it.

Dragonite No. 1 out. Spartacus send in to fight. Dragon Rush drops its HP low, Ice Punch gets the one-hit kill due to Iron Fist and NeverMeltIce boosts.

Charizard is next, Rak goes back out even with his HP near depleted. This is my healing breather fight. All Charizard can do to Rak is annoy him with Air Slash. One Hyper Potion to heal Rak so as not to get OHKO'd, next round is spent healing Spartacus. Heal Rak a second time, use Waterfall to put Charizard at low HP, heal a third and last time and then finish it off with Crunch. Air Slash did about 50-ish per round, allowing me to survive a max of three without crithax. I kept healing after the second each time to play it safe.

Dragonite No. 2 is next. See above, fight went exactly the same way.

So that leaves the last Dragonite. Spartacus is at low HP and can't hope to beat it because of lower speed. So I have to depend on a 110 health Rak and pray that it can live through one shot of Outrage. Feraligatr has the speed advantage and nails an Ice Fang...

...and it freezes Lance's Dragonite. And that is ballgame, second Ice Fang sends Lance to the retirement home. New Champion. I made that far harder on myself than it had any reason to be because I was a lazy POS and didn't check my inventory before I went in.

The boat ride to Kanto will begin with the next installment.

I have sad news to convey.

After reaching Eterna City and starting a training montage, Drome the Budew passed away due to a Magnitude 9 from a Geodude. She will be missed.

However, I caught a Meditite! It’s female and has Huge Power, and I named her Ashaya. I’m thinking about teaching her Rock Smash until she gets a fighting move, but that depends where the move deleter lives. I also caught a Chingling in Mt. Coronet, which I named Lungs. His attacks are Wrap, Growl, and Astonish. Training him is going to take a while.

So, yeah, I’m just training right now. I want to get the two newbies up to level 20 before challenging the gym, since I can’t use my Prinplup.

-

Okay, a lot happened.

In Eterna, my team of Lutris the Prinplup, MattSilver the Luxio, Ashaya the Meditite, and Lungs the Chingling took down the gym and the Galactic HQ. I got really lucky with Saturn as her Skunktank’s Night Slash was really fucking powerful, but I crit with Luxio’s Spark and one-shot it.

Cycling Road was long, though I appreciated that most of the trainers only had one Pokemon each. In the grass in the valley, I found a Ponyta, male, which I named LT2000 in honor of that shiny Ponyta. I still haven’t decided whether I’m going to train it or not. In the cave I found a Zubat, male, which I named Klael. He will be boxed until further notice.

In the route before the mountain, I found a Bibarel. It was killed without mercy. There were many trainers in the area, though I tried to avoid most of them. However, I saw a double battle, and I was like, “Sure, Ashaya and Lungs should have a little fun. :3”

I DIDN’T KNOW. D8

A fucking Pacharisu murdered Ashaya, while I wasn’t paying attention. Those electric squirrels are evil, I swear to god.

After burying Ashaya, I continued on to Hearthome and did some irrelevant stuff, then left again.

I’m in Solaceon right now, waiting for night to fall before going back to the cemetery tower. Murkrow appear at night with 20% and Gastly with 40%, so I’m going to see if I can get a cool Pokemon.
