The final surviving Team of the Emerald Nuzlocke Disaster!

We are finally here. We took five attempts but we're finally at the E4.

We have:

Pepper the Relaxed Blaziken. Has helped in key fights like the Norman Fight when they were a combusken. The final starter of the fifth attempt. He's carrying the failure of past Runs on his back, but he's overconfident despite not taking down a single gym leader by himself, he's been with us since the start. Underused, but since he's the starter, he believes every victory was something he personally did. He carries the spirits of past runs of all starters past. We might not remember them all, but Pepper does, and he's determined to see them win. A little overconfident, but hoping he will take us far. Brickbreak, Bulk Up, Quick Attack, BlazeKick

Blueberry the Serious Milotic. A huge investment in a Nuzlocke for sure. It took about a full week to properly catch and to evolve Blueberry from when he was a little Feebass in the pond. An investment fairly worth it even despite the Gyarados Manpower we hold. He has been essential in the late game especially for Wionna switching back and forth between him and Rice. He's also a great tank for more difficult opponents. Surf, Icebeam, Recover, Safeguard

Rem the Naughty Gardevoir. An essential "lucky" catch very early on. Completely frail and useless for a lot of the early game, but straight up essential in the late game, especially against Archie and Team Aqua. Swept Juan on their own, Took out a lot of Wionna's flying types until Altaria came out. A devastating combination moveset. He's been the MVP of the late game and helped out of so many tight spots. Calm Mind, Thunderbolt, Physic, and Hypnosis.

Ziggy the Quirky Zigzagoon. He's been here since the very beginning of the run. Staying in the background and picking up lots of rare candies and essential items for the team to use. He's been the number one cheerleader of the team and hasn't been in too many serious fights. That will change tonight. With access to bellydrum and other powerful moves, he has earned his place to be here at the Elite Four and hoping that he can take out a lot of major threats on his own. Return, Shadow Ball, Substitute, Bellydrum.

Rice the Mild Gyarados. After the fourth failure, I decided to permit Gyarados and she has been endlessly useful. Rice was essential in pivoting between her and Blueberry in order to get a win over on Wionna. A rarity for a Gyarados, she does not prefer fighting. She sees herself more as a supportive role to the team. Utilizing her Intimidate Ability and ground immunity for others to take the kill for her. She's been with us as a small Magikarp since Brawly, and she sees Blueberry as her son. Since she sees a lot of herself in him when he was a Febass. Earthquake, Icebeam, Dragondance, Hyperbeam

Bella the Quiet Breloom. Bella has been with us since Petalburg Woods. A Mushroom of few words, They singlehandly took down Roxanne Early game when we had essentially nothing to work with. They also took down Wattson on their own essentially, after a tragic death from Ninja the Shedninja. Bella has also dealt with the MOST close calls out of any long lasting team member. We couldn't run from Golbats in the Aqua Hideout twice, and that left Bella with 5hp or less both times. A four times flying weakness is trouble. And Bella is haunted by the close calls and she swears that she actually died to a wild Golbat and saw the afterlife. Her friends assured her that they were there to protect her and she survived, but she can't shake the feeling that she died really anticlimactically to a wild Golbat. But if she's here now, it must be for a reason. And that she's determined to see this through to the end. Sludgebomb, Giga Drain, Sky Uppercut, Leach Seed

The others as this run was a group effort:

Salt the Tailow, defeated Brawly on their own. Was good in the early game. Ditched later for a Gyarados and other stronger teammates. She is Pepper's birdy girlfriend and waiting for him happily in retirement.

Nina the Ninjask was on the team for a short while. Her sister: Ninja the Shedninja was the only death on the entire run, because the Trainer didn't know Watson's Voltorb had Rollout. Ninja talks to her sister and whispers curses on the winning team, hoping that this fifth run will be a failure, because they were not cared for. Ninja and Nina live in the beach house in Retirement.

Bruce the Sharpedo and Disaster the Absol. They were the tag team pair that completely swept Tate and Liza. They had great synergy and Disaster and Bruce spent a much happy retirement in the box after the business with Groudon and Kyorgre was handled. Natural Disasters cause Disaster the Absol to break out in panic attacks, but Bruce keeps her safe and calm. The two became close and will likely have many shark puppies after this. However, the two don't yet realize that Sharpedo's breeding group is a very shallow pool, and he is actually infertile. They will go to an adoption center in Sinnoh and Adopt a Gible. Perhaps... maybe in the not so distant future, they hope a young trainer might be willing to train their child and have them go on their own pokemon adventure.

Mr.Meep the Girafarig. He is here. He did nothing. Okay that's unfair. He was caught in the Saffari Zone and brought to the Tate and Liza fight for backup if something went wrong, but Bruce and Disaster just clicked right away and Mr.Meep didn't need to do anything. He still gets retirement cus he was raised and he was super supportive and ready to lay down his life for anyone he needed to.

Boulder the Graveler. He never became a Golem like he always dreamed he would be. Boulder was an unwanted catch, taking place of the Dessert encounter as a rocksmash guy. But he honestly proved himself. He stood as a wall in the way of Flannery and was an essential wall in really big Aqua and Magma stuff. He was also super useful as a pivot for Norman with his rock hard defense. He always wished he could have been a Golem so he could break out of his rock-egg shell, but he is really content with how he helped us acheive the Basic and Flame badge so he went into retirement there soon after.

Athena the Manetric. Also did nothing. Okay, unfair, a strong fast Electric type was useful in a lot of the team Aqua fights and Archie fight. They were also good backup for Wionna and Juan, but we never really used her. She was just chilling in the back, waiting if Rem, or Blueberry couldn't pull through. Thankfully, we never needed her. She was great in being our essential backup "go-to" Electric type.

RootRoot the Lileep. They weren't in any major fights. They're a lover, not a fighter. A fisherman. With their suction cup ability, they're the reason we even got a Milotic in this run at all. They were just the fisherman to help us catch a feebass and for that, they are honored and remembered.

NOT DRAWN CUS I FORGOT:

Coolio the Tentacool! RICE'S PARTNER. The two grew up around dewford town and were inceperable as a tentacool and Magikarp. They grew up on the team together and Tentacool helped us through a lot of fights. They actually were the ones who Swept Flannery all on their own as a tentacool! Which was impressive! (I misremembered so I think Boulder took the credit) They were an essential member of the team for awhile and I feel so bad I forgot to draw them. They are waiting for their beloved Rice when she gets back from the Champion.

Stormbringer: A Pokemon Emerald Nuzlocke, Part 17

This is it. It's time for the Pokemon League. Our party are all at Lv.60. Their moves have been fine-tuned with TMs. Items have been equipped. Heals have been purchased.

Vulcan the Blaziken has been here since the beginning. He's strong, he hits like a truck, and he's pretty darn fast too. He's going to be our main Pokemon for Sidney and our secondary for Glacia. He doesn't have much to offer for the Champion, but this run goes to Steven so he'll have his time in the sun eventually.

Aurora the Gardevoir is our lucky encounter from right near the beginning. Fitting that I'd get a shiny of one of my favourites in legit the second run I ever do where I can't keep my Pokemon. She's a fast Special Attacker with Psychic and Thunderbolt as her main moves, with Hypnosis and Dream Eater to give her some healing and stalling if need be. The abundance of Water here means she's going to have a lot of use for her Electric moves.

Volt the Manectric is also a fast Special Attacker. That's going to be kind of a theme. He's kind of a one-trick pony but he's going to be our main for Glacia and Wallace both.

Terra is our Earthquake-spamming physical powerhouse, she's on deck for Drake and some of Phoebe's Ghosts. I just have to keep her away from the half-dozen Ice Beam spammers on these teams.

One of our two newcomers, Harbinger the Absol is a physical attacker who hits things really, really hard with his Attack stat, and doesn't really do a whole lot else. He isn't really going to feel the lack of STAB, hopefully.

And lastly, we have Proxima the Starmie. With the wrong ability and the worst possible nature for their species, they've been screwed by RNGesus a bit, but nonetheless, a Starmie is a Starmie. This is still one of the best Pokemon in the entire game. They're going to sweep Drake. That's what they do.

These are our heroes for the final act.

Guys, I did it. I made digital art. Please be proud of me ahaha-

Been struggling with Corie, my Beautifly, for way too long now. He plays some big roles in my Nuzlocke story, so I'm holding him to pretty high standards and overthinking his character and design way too much >.>

For now, he's fine. I need him out of my head so I can get some more of this lore figured out lol

Stormbringer: A Pokemon Emerald Nuzlocke, Part 16

Well, haven't done one of these in a while!

Yeah I dunno what happened there I just got distracted, but now I am motivated.

Now, where were we?

Right, we just beat Juan, and I'm in Lilycove now, for one reason alone.

We won't be needing this again, but we do need Waterfall to get to our next destination.

And we set off from Mossdeep!

And thanks to Repels, swiftly arrive in Ever Grande City, which is two buildings and a really big cave.

One last obstacle before the League.

"Masquerain intimidates enemies with the eyelike patterns of its eyespots. If that doesn't work, it deftly makes its escape on its set of four wings."

Not sure what specifically made me want to draw Masquerain but I was feeling pretty peaceful this week and decided to give a try. It's an underappreciated pokemon, so I decided to appreciate it. I imagine that it'd be serene to see this type of creature fly through the sky.

The Great All Generation Nuzlocks Roundup

This is gonna be long and have multiple parts thanks to the image limit on posts. Each game will be headlined by their title in Bold Print so if you're only interested in certain games it'll be easy to filter through. These notes will also only be on the Successful Run of each game. I'll note how many times I wiped in each game, but largely won't mention those runs for sake of relative brevity.

All runs were performed with the following rules - Only One Encounter Per Route/Zone/Area/Cave [Unique Names Denote Separate Areas] No Duplicate Encounters No Using Items In Battle No In-Game Trades No Overleveling the next Gym Leader or Major Boss Purchased/Gift Pokemon Are Allowed (Though there is only one case where I use one) but count as your encounter for that Area. No Use Of 'Affection' Based Mechanics.

RED - Kanto is a genuine joy to Nuzlocke for a few reasons. It's quick to get going, most early game Pokemon are quite strong (Ratticate, Primeape, Nidoking/queen, and Fearow are all genuinely incredible encounters), and it has probably the most balanced set of starters overall with regards to choice. All three have viable reasonings to be picked in the context of a nuzlocke. I, personally, went with Bulbasaur because my primary goal was to Win The Game and not to flex.

Kanto's also great for developing basic skills for nuzlocking. Team building, knowing when to switch, resource/Power Point management, moveset scouting, etc. all go much farther than normal in Kanto thanks to the poor AI and generally weak enemy trainers.

My favorite thing about it, though, and what made it very fun and a great start is that unlike every other region you can 100% assure yourself VERY powerful encounters in the mid and late game, and I don't mean gift Pokemon. There's just so many routes where all the encounters are filler you're 100% going to have out of the way early (Ratata, pidgey, etc.) that it's a surefire thing that you WILL get a Doduo right outside Celadon, for instance. Extending this to the whole region, you can guarantee you get other extremely potent Pokemon like Slowbro, which I did.

My team in this one was a strong Water/Fire/Grass core and otherwise strong goodstufts that compliment one another well. The surprise of this run was definitely Arcanine. I remember as a kid really being underwhelmed with trying to raise a Growlithe and never really getting the hype behind Arcanine outside of a VGC setting. However, I realized as an adult that keeping it a Growlithe until level 50 for flamethrower is Stupid. I immediately evolved that sucker and taught it Dig, which has 100 base power in gen 1. Arcanine was able to coast off of Dig and Body Slam until we beat Blaine and got the Fire Blast TM. It can also learn Reflect in this gen! All in all a stellar team member whose absolutely massive stats right after obtaining at level 19 really let it shine!

I always forget just how absurd the level swing from even just Lorelei to Blue is though. Just an absolute cliff of increase. Thankfully, however, leveling up in Kanto is a non-issue, so I was able to keep pace even while abiding Hardcore Nuzlocke rules. Total Wipes - 0

CRYSTAL - My overall opinion on Johto really hasn't changed at all, lol. It's still suffers a lot from what I'll call 'Fake Nonlinearity'. Like, sure, you CAN go to a lot of places after beating Morty but like...why would you do anything but go Chuck->Jasmine->Pryce and their associated content? It's not like you can meaningfully get strong early since the entire region has a dearth of strong trainers and wild pokemon alike. It's simply not productive to do things outside of the obviously intended order, except perhaps in the context of a Nuzlocke and trying to get some encounters early.

What does give Nuzlocking this region a unique flavor is that the best pokemon in the game, Alakazam, is a 100% ensured encounter assuming you're willing to pass over the free Eevee from Bill, which you should be. For a mere 200 coins at the game corner, you can get an Abra which can immediately be taught all 3 elemental punches on the cheap and raised up. Johto Nuzlockes thus take the form more of building an ensemble cast to support your clear Main Character, rather than building a cohesive team. As a result, Steelix and Machamp greatly stood out for being so dramatically different from Alakazam that they could patch up his few deficiencies.

We faced a setback VERY late and lost our Tauros on Victory Road, leading to the emergency training of Golly the Politoed. He ended up doing almost nothing, but that's true for the entire team besides Pugilist, who swept the entire Elite 4 and Lance unassisted.

It was definitely a fun time and had a very unique flavor compared to other regions. What Johto offers it does offer uniquely, at least.

Total Wipes - 2 (Rival Fight in Azalea Town Gym Leader Morty)

EMERALD - I'm gonna be totally honest. I love Hoenn and I love Gen 3 but I had somehow never actually pushed all the way through Emerald before. I've beaten Sapphire and ORAS each several times, so there was some nice new stuff to me waiting. Emerald is the first game you can play that still feels 'Modern' even without the Phys/Special split. The gameplay design, routes, and everything else just feel much more well realized and iterated upon, which makes sense. Gen 2 was made to capitalize on the Pokemon Craze where Gen 3 was made with the idea of 'Oh, we have a long running thing on our hands.' They worked to impress!

That said, I don't have all that much to say! Emerald is a very Standard Pokemon game and I had a lot of fun with it. I did end up repeating a single pokemon on my endgame team, Gyarados, but most of the run was played without it. I simply blundered a good number of strong encounters away in the midgame and had to fall back on a Pokemon I knew would be strong and could help get me through the Elite 4 and Juan!

This team has a very funny Water/Fire/Grass/Water/Grass core and it's also the first game where I actually EV trained my team on purpose. Thanks to Gen 3's thoughtful encounter design, training up Sp. Attack, HP, Speed, and Defense are all trivial, which greatly helped out. Sunny Day on Ludicolo was specifically to counter Juan, and we NEEDED it too because we lost Gyarados to Drake and Juan got TWO FREEZES in that final battle, so I needed Ludicolo to put in extra work. All in all, this was definitely one of my weaker Final teams, but I partly blame that on my relative unfamiliarity with Emerald's mid and late game. I also simply was not using all the resources at my disposal, which would dramatically change starting with the next game. The big surprise was honestly Electrode, who was a pretty stellar and reliable teammate all through the late and endgame due to fast, strong thunderbolts and screens support.

This game had a nickname theme - Fruits.

Total Wipes - 1 (Gym Leader Brawly)

PLATINUM - If you've followed me long enough you know I've historically been very hard on Gen 4. I do not like Diamond/Pearl and have started and dropped Platinum many times. However, this run I had a genuine joy playing through. Really and truly, playing in this format with the momentum of three runs behind me energized me to see Sinnoh in a new light and I can truly appreciate the dramatic improvements Platinum makes to the region. Most importantly, I've made a new, lifelong friend.

Encountered as a Nosepass at level 14 in Mt.Coronet, Cao Cao was a true champion and help throughout the midgame and into the early late game. Stonewalling tons of trainers, enabling easy captures on lots of encounters, offering free and important switches at critical moments, and just generally being a reliable member of our core duo for most of the game with Rotom Fan...but we lost him at Iron Island in a completely optional double battle... (artist's rendition in the workbench room at my office)

To make matters worse, the teammate we went to Iron Island for, our Scyther so we could evolve her into Scizor, would also be lost shortly before the Elite 4, rendering his loss all the more painful! I knew, for him, we had to carry on and we had to win.

And win we did. My total unfamiliarity with Platinum past the first couple gyms had me doing much more planning and research out of game on upcoming trainers to help ensure a strong run. As a result we lost far less team members than in the past three runs. In particular I was really sweating the encounters with Barry, who is dramatically stronger than previous rivals. But really, we didn't have any noteworthy losses to him.

Platinum is certainly a challenging game in its back quarter but it also really squanders its otherwise quite excellent pacing in the first two thirds or so of the game. After the sixth gym the game gets really long in the tooth and I was just ready for it to be over by the end. Nonetheless, I did have quite a lot of fun and when I play Platinum again in the future I'll definitely do it as a more casual nuzlocke, for fun.

For the vast majority of this run I had a Rotom Fan, Probopass, and Scizor but they were all lost somewhat to VERY late and were replaced with the bottom row. While Whiscash and Porygon 2 stepped right up and were excellent performers, Bronzong was absolutely abysmal and did nothing but provide a single free switch against Cynthia. This run also came closest to dying, with only Crobat surviving the champion battle. (in my heart, however, any team that completes the game all get to go on and I have in fact transferred them into pokemon home, lol) Wuxuan the Crobat was basically my true starter. With me from before the first gym and all the way through to the end. A stellar pokemon. While this run endeared me to many Pokemon I hadn't used in game - or at all - before in Rapidash, Crobat, and Rotom Fan, above them all stands my new true friend, Probopass.

This run was downright cursed when it came to natures, too. Basically every single encounter had a nature that was negative on their most important stat. It was really frustrating, tbh!

This game has the second and final case of a team having a duplicate species of a previous team - Machamp This game has a nickname theme - Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Total Wipes - 0

Post will continue in a Part 2 because of the post image limit.
