It's a Dark type crocodile Pokemon with a bandit/thief design. Crook crocodile. Krookodile. Seems okay to me.
I would have personally named it Renekton. But I'm not good with names.

patrat is now named Dust14 Great I thought so.
They have totally tricked out Pokemon Centers. Remember when they were insignificant red pixelated cubes?

The whole 'seels don't have superpowers' thing is just a huge coverup.
In other news, I am planning to win with only 3 pokemon total to battle. 3rd pokemon is undetermined. Any more pokemon will be used purely for HMs and in fights will do nothing except maybe use up my poke balls in trainer battles. Probably won't keep you posted.

I decided to take this challenge (sort of) because it looks fun.
Currently doing it in vanilla. Rules are the same, only two tries per area, KO = permadeath. I'm also making it so whenever anyone offers a trade or to give me a pokemon I have to take it (assuming I can).
So far I've caught 5 pokemon total (1 in route 1, 2 in route 2, 1 was given to me in dreamyard).
Tepig Patrat Purrlion Lillipup Pansage
The two bolded ones are dead (1 I was stupid, other got 1-hitted by a bastard using bind).
It should be noted this is my first time picking up pokemon in years, and the last one I played was silver/gold. I also haven't look up the stats and such of the new pokemons/types. Needless to say doing this blind will be a bitch haha.
Off to do the gym leader (I'm so fucked). Wish me luck.
EDIT: Wow, I got my ass handed to me. "Hey, I'm a water pokemon user!" *First pokemon out has nothing to do with water *Crushes my lineup since I had it to specifically counter water
Well, time to start over.....Only had 3 pokemon and I lost the battle.

Between like 8 and 11. I started again and made it past the gym with no losses (fuck yeah). It so nerve-wracking though haha.

Lol its so sad releasing your pokemon after they die. Nuzlocke runs are so awesome xD So tense and frightening and sad once your pokes die

Am I the only one not playing a side game on my own?

I just collected the Pokeball and Potion that you can see from a cliff in the first town. My pokemon got trained all the way to level 14 :3
edit: Nvm got it... 'find the trainers school' I ain't no trainer! I'm a master of multiple generations of pokemon and you will refer to me as such! 'find the trainers school' -_____-
btw the music is great in this
edit2: Have to name Pansage... google images told me it is... a Grass type that is epic with Bullet Seed. Naming her OpticShot after OpticalShot (Not enough room for the t)

You guys are all missing out by not playing sacred gold tbh

I started a Sacred Gold one last night, and the game is incredibly polished and looks great (I've only played some of the GBA ones on emulator before, including a Fire Red Omega nuzlocke up through the 8 gyms, as well as the PokeMMO earlier this year).
I can see why you have a rule to catch first 2 pokemon instead of just 1 like most Nuzlocke runs though. I only beat the first gym leader but this game is freaking hard. Random crits are just so -_-. Still not as bad as Brock's Onix/Vulpix in Omega though.

After fixing the bloody exp bug by actually playing the volt white version I found out that repel doesn't work
I found 2 exeggcutes while having repel on, anyone else tried this?
(I'm playing this softcore though, I've been knocked out 4 times so far and my pokemons have fainted "many" times, I'm too softhearted to loose my manz like that )

Pokemon with a level over your main (first in party) (?) or highest level pokemon will appear normally
Repel won't work if the level of the wild pokemon is higher than the pokemon that is first in the party, unless its a max repel.

Oh I see
I suppose I never tried not having my front pokemon being lower level than the pokemons.
I am also greatly disappointed by the dark green grass, no double wild pokemon battle

Playing Volt While for the first time casually and I´ve come to the conclusion that Gym leaders will horribly murder your friends unless you are outleveling them by the minium of 7 levels each.
My team has been equal or 1-2 levels higher than theirs and I´ve barely beaten them with dozens of tries and massive amount of healing(Granted my team has few great weaknesses atm).

I don't know your team or how experienced you are at building a team (and I've never played that generation), but you can't expect to simply swap in someone with a type advantage and expect to sweep the gym (as you can easily do in the regular games). As an example, in Fire Red you can use a Graveler to crush Surge, but in Omega his Raichu 1HKO's you with a Surf.
You don't need all the pieces of competitive teams, but your life is exponentially easier with some bulk on your team. For example, Umbreon with Confuse Ray + Toxic (especially with leftovers, and eventually Moonlight) can stall against almost everything that's not a STAB fighting, and has made life infinitely easier for my Omega Nutzlocke run. If your team is entirely offense with very weak defensive stats, you can end up taking more damage than you heal and getting swept. I haven't played White so I don't know what you have available, but it's the same concept.
What's your team by the way? (I'm sorry for going off topic, but seeing as we're not getting any updates on the run for a few days...)
