After catching Solo the Starly, Fanty the Zubat, Tesar the Geodude and Inara the Ponyta on the way to Oreburgh City, I did some training with Wash and evolved him into a Monferno, complete with Mach Punch. Thinking that this would be enough to take on Roark, I went straight to the Gym, blitzed the two trainers there, and took on the Gym leader.

Roark led with Geodude, and I led with Shan Yu, hoping to get it a bit of experience. As I switched in Wash, Geodude started with Stealth Rock, and managed to take a Mach Punch before falling to the second. Onix was next, which took three Mach Punches before falling. By now, through a few Rock Throws, Wash's health was around about half, but I neglected to use a Potion, thinking that Cranidos wouldn't be able to take two Mach Punches. And it probably wouldn't have, if it's first Headbutt hadn't been a critical hit and sent Wash to that great Monkey-Puzzle tree in the sky. What followed was a massacre. One by one, Cranidos Headbutted my team out of the park.

I probably won't be trying this again any time soon, but I might start again on Platinum for a normal game - haven't done that since I started Black. ]]> SkinheadontheMBTA http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/45817/nuzlocke-platinum-part-3-31311/ http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/45817/nuzlocke-platinum-part-2-31259/ Fri, 17 Jun 2011 13:32:15 GMT Well, I finally started this. Decided at the last minute to pick Chimchar instead of Turtwig, but he's still called Wash.

Only a short first update for this post though, as I have other stuff that needs doing today. Got as far as Jubilife City, got the Pokétch and the Old Rod, and beat Jayne in the second rival battle.

The team so far looks like this:

Wash

Lvl 8 (Met at Lvl 5, Route 201)
Docile
Scratch, Leer, Ember

Kaylee

Lvl 9 (Met at Lvl 3, Route 202)
Bashful
Tackle, Leer, Charge

Shan Yu

Lvl 5 (Met at Lvl 4, Route 218)
Calm
Splash

Badger

Lvl 5 (Met at Lvl 4, Route 204)
Impish
Tackle, Growl

Well, that's that for this one. ]]> SkinheadontheMBTA http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/45817/nuzlocke-platinum-part-2-31259/ http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/45817/nuzlocke-platinum-29820/ Wed, 18 May 2011 19:51:19 GMT I've always enjoyed reading about other people's adventures when they've done Nuzlocke runs, and I've always thought about doing one myself. However, I've never wanted to get rid of all the Pokémon that I've caught in any particular game, so it's never happened.

Now though, I have transfered every Pokémon that I want to keep over to Black, and I can finally begin my first ever Nuzlocke run!

The game is Platinum, and the character's name is Malcolm. Pearl's new name is Jayne, and I will be using a Firefly/Star Wars theme for my names (Incidentally, this the also the first time I will be using Nicknames - I've never bothered before)

My rules are simple - No reviving, catch the first one on a route and no others, no duplications, no running from battle, and nicknames for everything.

My first Pokémon will be Turtwig, who will be named either Wash if it is male, or Zoey if it is female. ]]> SkinheadontheMBTA http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/45817/nuzlocke-platinum-29820/
