If anyone is starting this, I recommend not choosing charmander, cause if you don't get lucky catching a fighting pokemon, you might be screwed.


i did exactly that, and lost 3 pokemon to misty lol. luckily none of them were my starter, i tried to shield it from getting KOd as much as possible and managed to whittle down her starmies health. So far this shit is surprisingly fun.

My rules (modified a bit)
Faint = dead
battle style = set
can only buy pokeballs, nothing else
can use items picked up, but only outside of battle
must catch the first pokemon in every area, and only that one
no saving or dodging trainers (must battle every one in each area)
nicknames!

nicknaming is actually pretty hard lol.


Nicknames are hard
I ended up just calling my charmander FlaminHomo and the rest are just terribad puns

Doesn't Charmander learn metal claw in the third gen games? Good luck with Misty though... Starmie's a waaay overpowered pokemon so early in the game. Water pulse off 100 base SA... T_T

i already beat misty, she killed off my oddish which wouldve been really useful about now. I taught charmeleon brick break which is better than metal claw, but even so it cant 1hitKO onixes and some geodudes, so they can get in a rock throw or magnitude counter. It only takes a few of those and charmeleon is done. I just had a close call vs a graveller where i was left w/ 4hp O.O

Just defeated the elite four and rival on my FireRed run. No healing items were used although I did abuse the hell out of those stat boosting items that are used in battle like Xspecial.
The lineup I used was this. If you notice more than half my team has water property.

+ Show Spoiler +

Lvl 51 Vaporeon
Surf
Bite
Rest
Ice Beam

Lvl 50 Lapras
Surf
Thunderbolt
Safeguard
Ice Beam

Lvl 50 Gyarados
Hydro Pump
Dragon Dance
Earthquake
Hyper Beam

Lvl 46 Venomoth
Psybeam
Sleep Powder
Stun Spore
Psychic

Lvl 45 Nidoqueen
Strength
Bite
Dig
Superpower

Lvl 40 Kabutops
Slash
Surf
Brick Break
Rock Tomb


In the end only vaporeon was left alive. Gyarados killed my rival's pidgeot but died to his rhydon. Vaporeon wiped the rest of his team with +6 special attack (for those people that don't know how much dmg that is, +6 special makes your special attacks do 4x as much as usual)

Lapras solo'd Lorelei and most of Lance. She died to his dragonite and vaporeon finished it up.

Venomoth solo'd Bruno and was supposed to solo Agatha too but got killed by her gengar. Vaporeon finished off agatha.

Nidoqueen and Kabutops died when I threw them in against my rival's exeggcute and were promptly 1 shotted.

If you notice, my team is very underleveled compared to the elite four's pokemon. Safeguard was instrumental in protecting my pokemon from the various statuses like gengar's hypnosis and confusion or other things like paralysis or poison. The stat boosting items gave my underleveled pokemon the firepower needed to 1 shot most of the opposing pokemon. I used a couple of Xspeed to give them the speed boost to always make the 1st move so I can take them out before they can take me out.

This challenge was the most fun I had playing a pokemon game and I encourage other people to try it out. Next I'll probably play HG/SS if I can figure out how to get it to work.

Just beat Fire Red today. I actually managed with extremely minimal losses (lost a Spearow early on due to a misclick and sending out the wrong Pokemon, and later lost Butterfree trying to catch Snorlax) prior to the Elite Four. Ended up winning with + Show Spoiler [team] +


60 Blastoise
Ice Beam
Surf
Bite
Brick Break

58 Jolteon
Shockwave
Tbolt
Thunder
Twave

52 Snorlax
Body Slam
Brick Break
Rest
Sleep Talk

52 Vileplume
Giga Drain
Petal Dance
Sleep Powder
Moonlight

51 Pidgeot
Fly
Wing Attack
Featherdance
Quick Attack

55 Hypno (I grinded at the end because I had nothing to beat Agatha with )
Psychic
...some other stuff I never used


This was with only buying Pokeballs, although all picked up items could be used (including status heals, not including potions, berries, or revives), SET battle mode, and all the other standard Nuzlocke rules.

Jolteon did the bulk of the damage, with a Mild nature and some EV training (Berry Forest/Seafoam Islands are both great Special EV training locations. Target Glooms and Golducks.), Jolteon had a crazy SpAtk around 170 and basically OHKO'd all of Lorelei with Thunderbolt, except for Jynx who I walled with Snorlax.

Pidgeot died against Bruno >_> fucking Machamp Bulked Up and I couldn't do shit. Cross Chop 75%+ loolol

Hypno died against Agatha after taking out Gengar and Golbat, which was suboptimal but I made do with a lot of Sleep Powder -> Moonlight -> Switch! gayness from Vileplume

Lance was actually ez although I fucked up and let Snorlax die to Hyper Beam, but not before it killed both Dragonairs and Body Slammed Dragonite. Special walled that shit like a bosss. Actually I forgot that Hyper Beam was physical in this game so QQ -_-

Vileplume I used for a free switch against rival. Blastoise died to Arcanine's Extremespeed and Jolteon finished it off, so in the end only Jolteon survived. But that's okay because Jolteon is baller.

It was fun, going to do the same with RSE now.

Question: I want to so this but I don't know how to go about following these rules.

You have to catch the first pokemon you see in each route.

You are not allowed duplicate pokemon.

If the first pokemon I see is a duplicate do i consider that route a total loss?

People go about this different ways. Some people consider it a loss and other people catch the 1 pokemon encountered that's not a duplicate. The point of the challenge is to add a little difficulty therefore making it more exciting and fun so don't get too hung up on the rules.
