I went against the OP's advice and started up my first Nuzlocke run on Blazeblack (clean). I'm up to the first cave area and it's been so fun so far. I added 2 rules to the OP to make things actually challenging and not "grind until you can win". My 2 self rules I added were each pokecenter/ heal spot can only be used once. I can reset the game, but only at the first turn of a trainer battle, since I couldn't find a way to look up what they'll send out. I lost my Ralts Rhianna R.I.P. to the first gym leader, and I've been broke for the entire playthrough so far, relying on only potions. Wish me luck on making it to the next pokemon center. =p

If it's undoable I might slip in for next time "bonus pokemon center visit after beating a gym", similar to his bonus pokemon rule. Does anyone know where the first vending machine is?

This would definitely be more doable with Pokemon Black or White, but the variety you get from wild encounters in Blaze/Volt make playthroughs more unique, so it's worth it.

Yeah i made it so i can only use a pokecenter for each area once too, i have a feeling i will be revising this rule later. I also gave myself 1 free resurrect on any pokemon i chose throughout the game. EDIT: As soon as i post that some BS wurmple escapes a pokeball with 1 hp and crits my snivy. Well there goes the free res. The wurmple is now called Cuntfuck and i hope he dies.

By the way, is it better to skip trainers as much as possible the first time you enter a region and rely on wild pokemon for leveling up, then revisit the area later for the money, or trainers first? I suppose this choice is influenced a lot by the pokemon center rule too...
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

If you're going to just grind for exp and don't mind cheating it a bit you can just use an AR code to rematch trainers instead of grinding on wild pokes. Yeah yeah not as "legit" but it saves so much time and I didn't care about EVs in my run. Killing those nurse/doctor guys' Chanseys for like 3k exp per rematch was amazing.

I might need to set a limit for things like challenge rock too along with the pokemon center restriction, because if I really wanted to grind without pokemon centers, those daily income spots are pretty exploitable.

The runs people are coming up with are crazy lol I'm totally impressed by everyone challenging themselves, but am I the only one enjoying playing Volt White clean just cause it's fun without rules? It's nice to have a bit of a challenge and have access to so many different pokemon.

They've probably already had tons of fun playing it normally and are just challenging themselves for additional fun. I kinda wanna run a romhack Pokemon game too. I'm having so much fun with Black 2 vanilla, no challenges, so these romhacks sound pretty fun

I did Nuzlocke even though I haven't played those games just because it was pretty boring to play through normally. I would just hold down spacebar and spam abilities the entire game with no repercussions or strategy.

Without challenging rules Pokemon becomes extremely boring. If Nuzlocke runs had never been thought up (impossible with Pokemon games present) then I would never buy Pokemon past the original Game Boy Color games I have.

Nuzlocke has probably kept peoples' interest past competitive scenes and first playthroughs. I know I play it exclusively even on new pokemons now because vanilla is boring. I like to FEEL challenged in a game, and neither the story (lol) or the gameplay is enough to keep me hooked otherwise. Plus I've never been a collector in games, so not being able to catch loads doesn't bother me.

So! After losing against Clay on my original attempt, I decided to treat the run officially as a loss but essentially use a Continue and keep going since I wanted to finish the game. I notice Skyla is a Triple Battle, and figure I'd lose at least 3-4 Pokemon if I go up against her mano a mano, because half my team is Flying-weak - I picked up a Magnezone in Chargestone Cave but her Archeops and Gliscor both have Earthquake which would probably OHKO me.

Luckily, the other Pokemon I picked up in the cave was Ferrothorn. Two fodder Pokemon later and... (note contains spoilers on Skyla's team)

+ Show Spoiler +

Jet Badge! And Acrobatics, which kicks all sorts of ass.

The brave sacrifices sent out to allow a Triple Battle. Note: I'm not sure if you actually have to do this but I did it anyway. Sorry Gligar you could have been useful possibly

<3u ferro.

Mandibuzz Tormented me early on which was a pain in the ass, and on top of that had Rest as well. I Iron Defense'd up to +6 in the beginning to fend off Skyla's entirely physical (sans Swanna) team. Braviary and Skarmory killed themselves in timely fashion thanks to Brave Bird recoil, my Iron Barbs, and my Rocky Helmet.

Gliscor and Archeops followed, though it took a little longer because they each had Earthquake which is a non-contact move, so I had to wait out their PP before they started killing themselves. With all three enemies Leech Seeded and me at +6 Def I just rofl'd around and occasionally Iron Headed to tack on damage.

Swanna was kind of a pain in the beginning since Hurricane would do 65% of my HP, but I stalled it out with Moomoo Milks (best potion in the game!) until it started using Ice Beams instead, which only did around 30%. Twaved it and let Leech Seed do the rest.

Mandibuzz was a huge bitch because he'd rest over and over again, and Iron Head was too weak to do anything. Finally got him as he Brave Birded himself into low HP right as I hit him with Thunder Wave (Iron Head was on Torment-cooldown), got the Iron Head next turn for the solo win.


that was longer than I expected lol, was really fun to do

No he's on vaca. He won't upload for a while, but expect a lot of pictures to come when he does.

Well now I've reached the first vending machine and things should be easy even with no pokecenters. Potions were so bad for cost efficiency. Not gonna lie though, I cheated with a couple resets because I wanted to see if it was possible to do without my mistakes. I'm going to start over from here because I'm fairly sure at this point that this ruleset is possible to win with, if you pick oshawott, and it's crazy fun. Looking forward to doing this without the resets.

Sorry, guys, but I honestly don't know if I want to keep this up. I started this thread with the idea that it'd be really fun to do this sort of thing. After that initial excitement wore off, though, I realized it's not nearly as fun as I'd expected. It feels like work to set up every episode, and that's not the mindset I had anticipated at all. If you're not enjoying yourself while doing a little project like a let's play, what's the point, y'know? Like, I've been avoiding using the computer just because I don't want to sit down and pound out a new episode.

Mostly, though, I'm disappointed in myself for letting you guys down after all this; you guys showed a lot of support, and I'm being a total asshole for shattering your expectations. I feel a sort of obligation to continue because of you folks being so supportive, but again, if I'm not having a fun time doing the LP, it's just a grind to fulfill that obligation. I think that's not the right mindset one should have for this, so as much as I hate letting you guys down, I'm just not having fun.

Again, I'm sorry about that. I may or may not continue the series, but don't be surprised if it just ends here.

Man, I feel like such a dick for doing this.
The room is ripe with the stench of bitches!

We know how tough it can be to screenshot every single thing and attach a witty narration. As Capped said, at least a ton of people got motivated. Maybe this thread will keep running for a while with people sharing their tales.

I think Antz said at one point if you try to force it, it doesn't come out funny, so don't feel obligated. You introduced some TLers like myself to the hacked games and nuzlocke runs, which made this game a lot more interesting to me. So thanks for that, but I'm sure my Planetside 2 outfit isn't happy about my sudden disappearance without explanation. It's been so addicting. =x
