Pikabread's Pokemon Emerald Nuzelocke Screenshot LP

[Pikabread]

Woooooaaah!
I don't usually do this kind of thing but I got motivation from the skypehaus so here we go anyway!!
Stuff is always in the spoilers!!

So things start out as you'd expect.


No, actually that's a Lotad.



Yeah, my name's Pichu.
So stuff goes about as normal, we move to our new house and stuff



This is my crib. You like?



Gotta set the clock… thanks, timezones.



Of course we have to get the potion outta the PC.



…and set the options right…



So we go downstairs and hear are dad's on TV, standard stuff. Of course we miss him immediately, though. Deadbeat. Next up we gotta go visit the neighbors!



Oh do you?~
Alright so we go upstairs to meet may and…



Seem a bit nervous, there.
Alrighty, we gotta go find the Professor Birch. Something tells me he's in trouble.



Yep. Here we go!!!



Of course, I'll be choosing my favorite of the three. Time to kick some Zigzagoon butt!



He goes down easy. Now that we've saved the prof, he'll let us name our Treecko and start our adventure!



Not sure why I named him this, but oh well.

So the episodes of this are gonna be pretty short. Next time we can get to the meat of this and I can actually explain the nuzlocke rules! Spoiler: one of them's that you have to name all your mons.

Alrighty here is Epsiode 2! Still not a ton going on, but there's some excitement to be had~

I didn't show this last time, so here's Treeko's summary.



So here we are on route 101 proper. It's time we start our journey, but first Birch wants us to find May.



Of course we can fight some dudes here, but nuzlocke rules don't come into effect until we have our pokéballs.



So as we arrive in Odale town this Lady wants to give me potions immediately. Nothing really worth buying in the mart yet, but I'll take an extra healing item.



Huh. Promising.



So, we head into the Pokécenter. First thing to do in a Nuzlocke is set up your death box. Mine looks fittingly like Heaven.



Well, we can't go over to route 102 yet because of this guy. Fun times. Thankfully May's up in route 103.



And here we are in route 103. Still no dudes yet. Just you wait, we're getting there!



Pretty soon we find May. And you guessed it, she wants to BATTLE!



Here we go! As you'd expect, she starts with the starter that's strong against yours. Seems like an unfair matchup, but thankfully neither of us know elemental moves yet.



So things go pretty well to start off…



Until we get hit with our first critical hit. What an omen. I… actually got a little scared when this happened.



But of course we are the victor! We level up and all!



After the defeat, humble May wants to go back to the lab.



Of course, our first battle means our first Pokécenter healing. Many more where that came from.



We get back to the pretty easily, and as a reward for our courage we get the Pokédex! Wee!



And Pokéballs! Woosh! Okay, so this means nuzlocke rules are in effect. A short explanation below for those who are unfamiliar. Plus, I have a couple of my own so you should probably look.

1. Only one new pokémon may be caught per route. It's the first one you encounter. If that pokémon faints or flees, too bad. Move on to the next area.
2. If a pokémon faints, it is considered dead. Put it in your death box and never use it again.
3. You must nickname all your Pokémon. For this LP, I've decided to name them all after talkhausers! I already have a new name for Treeko, but I have to get to the name rater to rename him.
4. Duplicates Clause. If you encounter a pokemon, or a pre-evolution of a pokémon you've already caught, you can't catch it. Run away and catch the next thing.
5. No Legendaries. You can catch them if you want, but they must NOT be used on your team.



Now with the Pokédex, I can see this important information! Hooray!



So after coming back outside, my mom wants to give me the running shoes. Now we can DAAASHHH
So you'd expect we'd catch our first duder on the first route. However, we technically got Treeko on route 101, so our first duder will be on route 103. And here he is!



Our first pokémon is gonna be a Poochyena, looks like. I actually really like this guy. Or girl, as the case is.



So we're in a bit of a tight spot. After one hit she loses more than half of her health. We gotta chance this one!



Woo! Our first mon caught!



So for our first talkhaus-named mon, I've named our Poochyena An0maly! I don't know why, but it seems to fit :)



So turns out sketcher dude messed up… so onto route 102 with us. We'll catch our third duder and that will be it for this episode.



And it is a Seedot! Well, yeah, double grass, double dark types aside this poke is cool.



Aaaand… got her!



I've decided to name this one after SugarFrosted, at his request.
Well that's about it for this one. With a few duders at my side, grinding them up will be our next course of action before moving on. I'll probably not show that.

Episode 3 incoming. Nothing to get your knockers in a twist about.

So first off I went over to the pokémart to buy some balls and potions and such.



After leveling up my pokes, here are how they stand.



As I head back onto route 102, I'm stopped by a few trainers. I won't be showing most trainer battles, unless they're story important or something interesting happens.



Just as an example, SugarFrost leveled up in this battle.



So while battling this trainer sends out a Tailow. This scares me a bit because An0maly's pretty low on health and this guy can do a lot of damage in the right situations. I'm not inclined to switch out, considering my two other pokes are grass type.



But after popping a potion, An0maly lands a crit and things conclude pretty easily.



At the end of the route we find some berries. Of course I'll be picking and replanting these, since the batteries can't dry out on an emulator like they did with my GBA. I mean wait no I'm totally playing this with a capture



Last trainer on the route sends out a Shroomish. Coolio.



Things weren't looking great for a little bit, but An0maly dishes out another crit and ends the battle quick. An0maly is the crit master! Unfortunately, effect spore gives us sleep. Good thing we're almost to the city.



Soon enough we arrive in Petalburg, the home of our father Norman.



This guy confuses us for a rookie trainer and makes us take a detour…



Anyway he brings us to the gym so we can talk to our dad. After a little bit of void conversation, this kid called Wally bursts in and asks to be loaned a pokémon so he can catch his own. We're asked to go along with to show him how.



And by show him how, the game means give US a tutorial on how to catch mons. Even though we already caught 2. Fantastic.



He's got his eyes on a Ralts, which would've been tooooottally cool if we got one, but oh well. Sugar's got his place.



So after helping out, we head back into the gym and we've now been told that we're not good enough to fight him right now. Talk about superiority.



Anyway we go back outside again, and on the way forward we're stopped by a strange man, who wants to know if we're a trainer. Of course, since we're a silent protagonist he insults us and assumes the opposite. We'll show HIM!



Afterwards we go into Wally's house and learn that he wanted a poke for a pretty good reason. He's apparently been very sickly and now he's heading to Vurdanturf to stay with his Aunt and Uncle. He needed a mon to protect him. That'll… become important.



Soon enough we're onto route 104, which means it's time to catch a new mon!



This time it's a Tailow! Cool, I like it.



It took a few pokéballs, but after a while we managed to catch him!



I ended up naming him Glitched after GlitchedGhost, because birbs. That'll be it for this time! Next time, onto the forest, where some bad stuff could very well happen to us...
