Nuzlocke Challenge - Day 16

The Game: Pokemon Fire Red
The Character: Vera
The Pokemon:
Frankie
Ms.Feather
Sleepy
Bri
Knight
Tripoli






Day 16

The small amount of time I spent playing today was spent training my lower-leveled Pokemon. I headed down to Route 19 and fought one of the swimmers there. Knight evolved from a Nidoran to a Nidorino after that fight. I then decided it would be a good idea to head up to Saffron City and try my luck there.

My team and I battled the first two guys in the Fighting Dojo. Grey Lady was killed by one of their Machokes.  I replaced her on my team with Tripoli.

I then decided it would be a better idea to use my VS Seeker instead of finishing the Fighting Dojo. We battled seven trainers before I decided to teach Bri Flash and head back into the Rock Tunnel. That's pretty much where I ended my Nuzlocke journey for the day... after retrieving a Max Ether, that is.

Two Days of Nuzlocke

Intro

Okay so... I was lazy yesterday. When I say "lazy" know I really meant "stinking tired" because I was babysitting my nephew from 9:30 AM to 11-ish PM. I did, however, get in a little Nuzlocke-ing while he was napping.

However, since I didn't post my stuff last night, I'm going to go ahead and post it today, followed by today's Nuzlocke adventures. These will be formatted like I did them on separate days, just because I can.

Nuzlocke Challenge, Day Fourteen

The Game: Pokemon Fire Red
The Character: Vera
The Pokemon:
Frankie
Ms.Feather
Kors
Grey Lady
Sleepy






Day 14

My team and I pretty handily beat Erica and the other trainers at the Celadon City Gym. We then headed through Saffron City back to Lavender Town. Once there, we went through Pokemon Tower.

In the Pokemon Tower, I caught a Haunter and named her Grey Lady after the Ravenclaw ghost. We beat the four Team Rocket Grunts easily before being dragged back to Mr. Fuji's house. He gave me a PokeFlute.

My team and I then headed down Route 12 until we encountered the Snorlax blocking our path. I caught the Snorlax and named him Sleepy. He took all of my Great Balls and most of my Pokeballs to capture.

After talking to the Fishing Guru's brother, I received a Super Rod. After that, Zatanna, by Kadabra, was killed by a self-destructing Voltorb. God Damn Selfdestruct. It's a super dumb attack and I hate it!

 That concludes Day Fourteen of my Nuzlocke Challenge.

Ms.Feather
Grey Lady
Sleepy
Bri
Knight






Day 15

I started out my day on Route 13. I caught another Oddish and named him Terry. Terry was shortly killed on Route 14 by a Birdkeeper's Pidgey. I cannot express how much I loathe Birdkeepers. There are so dang many on Route 13 and Route 14. Gah!
R.I.P Terry
Kors was killed shortly after Terry was by another Birdkeeper's Doduo. I can't say I'm exactly sad to see him go, because his lack of Accuracy was annoying me to no end, but Kors managed to survive his uselessness to become a valued member of my team.
R.I.P. Kors
Of course, Kors' death came just before I reached the only grass patch on Route 14 and he was the only Pokemon I had that could learn Cut. So, on the first time through, I didn't catch a Pokemon for Route 14.

We continued on to Route 15, where Sleepy killed the very first Venonat we saw. Today was turning out not to be my day. However, we soldiered on through the grass to Fuchsia City.

I wasn't sure what exactly the rules were governing the Safari Zone and the Nuzlocke Challenge, so I sort of made up my own. I figured if I just went through one time and caught as many Pokemon as I could on that one time through, I could keep all of them. I also made it through to the guy who gives you Surf... which I'd completely forgotten about. But anyway, the following Pokemon were caught in the Safari Zone:
Knight
Orion
Jordan
Tripoli
Rockslide






I decided to add Orion and Rockslide to my team and left the others in my Box on the PC. My team and I then headed back to Route 14 where I caught another Oddish. I named her Bri. On the way back to Fuchsia City, Rockslide was killed by another Trainer's Hitmonlee. I replaced him on my team with Bri.

To finish out my day, I ventured into the Fuchsia City Gym. This turned out to be a bad plan because Bri was horribly under leveled for the Gym and everyone else was just slightly under leveled. Either way, I ended up losing Orion to the first Trainer's Hypno we battled. Like I said, today was just not my day.
R.I.P. Orion
Orion was replaced by Knight on my team. I thought it was fitting.

Tombstones for the last two days will be up on deviantART later tonight. I realized I forgot to do Orion's so... I'm off to do that now.

Nuzlocke Day 7

The Game: Pokemon Fire Red
The Character: Vera
The Pokemon:
Frankie
Ms.Feather
Kors
Emmett
Rimmer
Hodgens






Day 7
As it turned out, my team was quite ready to take on Misty. As it also turns out, Oddish is awesome. Gotta lover that Poison Powder. Long (not really) story short, we earned ourselves a Cascade Badge.

On our initial trip down Route 5, my team encountered a Level 10 Meowth, who we caught and added to our team. Since the last two Pokemon we didn't catch and then killed were a bust, I'm really happy that Hodgens seems to be taking well to his training. I've already bumped him up a couple levels by killing a load of Ekans, Spearow, and Pidgeys. Hopefully, I'm not jinxing anything by talking about it...

All in all, I'd say we had a pretty successful time of it today.

Nuzlocke - Day 6

The Game: Pokemon Fire Red
The Character: Vera
The Pokemon:
Frankie
Ms.Feather
Kors
Emmett
Rimmer






Day 6

So... I had no idea that Route 24 and Route 25 were connected pretty radically to each other until this play-through. That was slightly confusing. Luckily, I'd only run into Pidgeys while on Route 25 so... I didn't have to catch anything. That is, until the Abra showed up. Again, luckily, I caught him. My dad decided I should name him Bart (Because I enjoy the names my family members come up with for Pokemon. Sue me).

Sadly, Bart died after reaching only level 12. He was avenged, though, so that was good. Damn Rattata. I liked training Abra, Kadabra, and Alakazam the last time I actually did that...
RIP Bart

The last stop on today's journey was the Cerulean City Gym. My team and I fought Swimmer Luis before heading back out to the Pokemon Center. It was pretty clear we weren't read to face the gym after Rimmer, Kors, and Emmett almost died in there. Ah well, another day.

Bart's tombstone will be added to my deviantART account shortly.

Nuzlocke - Mt. Moon and Cerulean City

The Game: Pokemon Fire Red
The Character: Vera
The Rival: Master
The Pokemon:
Frankie
Ms.Feather
Kors
Emmett
Rimmer






Day 5

Today, as we were running around inside Mt. Moon, Frankie evolved from a Squirtle into a Wartortle. And then Emmett and Ms.Feather got poisoned. I only had one Antidote on me as I cured Ms.Feather and ran like mad for the Pokemon Center at the entrance to Mt.Moon. I don't think I've ever run that hard or was that annoyed at Zubats and Geodudes as I was today. Luckily, we made it to the Pokemon Center before I ran out of Potions. That'll teach me to stock up when I only have four Antidotes.

On the way to Cerulean City, we met a Spearow. I would have caught him, but one Fury Attack from Kors killed him. That's okay, though, I'm not sure I would have been happy with two bird Pokemon on my team at the same time. Oh! We also gathered the Spiral Fossil from Mt. Moon.

In Cerulean City, Master showed up and almost murdered my entire team. I was rather annoyed at this point. I usually beat Master no problem. But that's with a full team and not just four Pokemon.

Ms.Feather evolved into Pidgeotto on the Nugget Bridge fighting Team Rocket recruiters. We then met the newest addition to our team, Rimmer the Oddish. I named him after my favorite character from Red Dwarf. I'm now in the process of getting Rimmer up to level with everyone else, so I'm killing a lot of other Oddishes and Pidgeys.

Nuzlocke Tombstones

Yesterday I decided to draw some tombstones for my fallen team members. They're just simple little things that have something representing the Pokemon and a little epitaph for them. I'll be adding to the gallery as more of my Pokemon die, as I'm sure they will...

If you're interested in seeing them, head over to my deviantART (link in the header) or follow this handy link: Nuzlocke Tombstones

My family and I are going to see Wolverine tonight! I'm super excited because I really loved the first Wolverine movie and Hugh Jackman is awesome. I'll probably be reviewing that tomorrow, so keep an eye out.
