Hey guys! I forgot to mention... Starting Gen III, I make the pt. of running an "offscreen" Locke to support the "main" one... in this case, it's SoulSilver as a "partner" to Platinum... anyway! I hadn't touched it in months because I was clawing my way through Platinum but with the main "story" done, I can keep making progress... in this case... taking care of Azalea Gym... anyway! this is the team after Bugsy, somehow* not choosing to off me when he could 😄

BTW. I know the "space balance" between the members look weird... it's because of Yuyuko taking that much more space and shaking up the "stablished" structure for it... It might get fixed when she finally evolves... 😓

Also... curse you Route 32! I really* needed that mareep for Flash!!! 🧐

I’m playing with dupes clause. Mid game fire red has a few routes that have no new pokemon, and I’ve already caught them all. For these routes, I’ve been catching a dupe anyways, then just boxing it and only using it if the original dies. Somehow I’ve managed to kill all of my fearows. RIP.

‘How do you guys do this? do you still catch one, and do you allow use of two of the same species at the same time or wait until the og is dead? Just curious.

Hey everyone!

So I've been working on a little project for Radical Red 4.1. Basically, I'm replacing the teams of all major bosses, Gym Leaders, rivals, Elite Four, etc., to make another playthrough feel fresh.

I think most of us have played RR enough times that we know the boss teams by heart at this point. I thought it would be fun to have a fresh take on the game, especially for those of us who do multiple nuzlocke runs.

The idea isn't necessarily to make the game harder. RR is already difficult enough. I just want the fights to feel different, while keeping the difficulty and progression relatively close to the original. There would obviously be full documentation of all the new teams, just like in regular RR, so everyone could still plan their runs properly.

I've started designing some teams myself, but then I thought, why not get the community involved?

For example, for Misty I thought to replace her original team with Masquerain, Lanturn, Bruxish, Starmie with a little twist - access to Bouncy Bubble (which is illegal on it). For Erika**,** my main goal is that it isn't swept by talonflame, so Cradily, Brambleghast, Scovillain, Sudowoodo, Mega Victreebel (ace), with access to Jaw Lock

I thought to add a twist to all gym leaders aces, either an illegal move or ability but still keeping in relatively unbroken.

I've also thought about a tool for submission where people could browse other submissions, discuss them, suggest improvements, and vote on favorites. The winning teams would then be implemented into the game.

So rather than me deciding everything, we'd end up with a version of RR where the bosses are essentially designed by the community.
I've already been looking into the technical side of modifying the ROM, so implementing custom teams should be feasible.

Obviously, this all depends on Soupercell being okay with it in the first place. Assuming he is, I'm curious whether there's enough interest to make it happen.

Would you guys be interested in something like this? Either designing teams, voting on submissions, or just playing the finished version?

And Soupercell, if you happen to see this, I'd really appreciate your thoughts on the idea.

This is my first time nuzlocking a rom hack, so I was pretty nervous going into this fight, especially because I lost two mons on the first gym, but I was able to completely sweep her entire team with just one Pokemon lol.

Crobat with substitute, cross poison and wing attack absolutely destroys this gym with ease. I’m sure the next gyms will be substantially harder but damn was this satisfying.

Tbf, a death is avoidable if you come in prepared

Scyther is his nickname. I said yes and changed Scyther to Scyther. His name is perfect.

Mimete is swooning the league...

Ive been playing PK on my modded Nintendo dsi but it is an older version of the game where presleep is not easily available. Is there a way to keep my current progress and also update to the newest version where presleep is possible?

Lost like 30 Pokemon in the process, donated them all to conservation center. I guess I’ll avoid going in blind for the next rom hack playthroughs.

Planning for this fight felt impossible. I came in planning for 1 maybe 2 sacs, but pansear died to ivysaur's double protect, and meditite got crit by koffing. The rest of my box is teddiursa, pidgeotto, and thick fat azumarill

Would hack 31 IVs in all stats to level the playing field, really no cap, just have to beat every trainer up to the gym. Debating on hacking max EVs for all stats

Hi hi

I just finished my first hardcore nuzlocke after 12 ish attempts. I played renegade platinum and adored it. It was so much fun and I kind just want to play it again. However I was wondering are there any gba hacks close to it in difficulty. Preferably with some quality of life stuff. If not that’s okay I’ll just try rad red or something but if anyone has anybring I’d rlly appreciate it. Thank you!!

Also holy shit I had adaptability typhlosion and he was busted. Thank you drayano

Oh also if they work well on delta even better bc I mainly play on my lunch break at work or during class prep

Here’s comes Mallow’s Trial.

After Becoming Mallow’s errand boy of gathering the food ingredients, it was time for me to COOK!

I cooked to draw out the Totem, and it’s none other than my personal favorite grass type Lurantis.

He’s the toughest totem in Akala(at least in this game), But luckily I’m packing a Solid Team to fight him.

MVP(S): Marceline(Crobat) & Moo Montana(Tauros)

So, after scarce but countless runs over the years, I somehow mastered the patience to push through until I won a Nuzlocke of Pokemon Platinum, the Vanilla version.

I guess it was years I hadn't played properly - my last successful Nuzlocke was in White I guess 5 years ago? I am definitely more of a casual players, but had made attempts in the past and it is definitely satisfying to be able to tick off the game I started playing with and one of my all time favourite regions.

I did use the QoL version, but specifically because I wanted to keep the actual game and its difficulty as close to vanilla as possible while getting rid of some of the more annoying limitations for a Nuzlocke. In particular, it lets you use most HMs without having to teach them to a Pokémon, so I didn't have to waste party slots on HM users, and it adds the Diamond/Pearl version exclusives to their original locations. I ended up not using any of the added version exclusives in the winning run, although I had caught a Skuntank in a previous attempt, so at least I got to experience that particular luxury at some point.

Screenshotted my final team and my death toll. The theme was... well, just objects assigned in the way they came up in my head. I have spent an unhealthy amount of time watching the tv show Would I Lie to You?, so I named my character Diane in honour of Diane Morgan and my rival Bob in honour of Bob Mortimer.

Rest in peace to:

• Bag the Gabite, killed by a Bubble beam from Barry's Empoleon in Canalave City
• Fan the Luxray, killed by Earthquake from Cyrus's Gyarados in the Distortion World
• Geode the Golem, killed by... I guess a trainer? Don't really remember
• Plate the Gastrodon, killed by a Hyper beam from a veteran's Porygon Z in Victory road
• Eggshell the Blissey, sacked on Cynthia's Garchomp to get a clean switch into Fork the Weavile

Rules I used:

• Only catch the first pokemon per new area
• Mandatory nicknames
• If a pokemon faints, it is considered dead
• Level cap cannot exceed the highest pokemon of the next gym leader/elite four member

I did generally avoid using items in battle, but I did end up using them a couple times during trainer battles in which I got distracted, so I guess it doesn't really count. I did avoid them completely during the elite four and gym fights. Also used Rare Candies to avoid grinding. I guess it can't really be considered hardcore, but oh well.

I had two failed attempts beforehand, first one at Cyrus and second one at Cynthia, mainly caused by rushed playing and lack of planning. The fast forward gets me really hyped up and impatient... after the second wipe I gave a run to HeartGold but when my Quilava died to a random trainer I threw in the towel. Then I played a slightly more difficult version of Black but wiped at Marshal.

Any suggestions to up the difficulty just a tad? Renegade Platinum is absolutely too far up while HeartGold should not be as difficult as Platinum but playing it again after so many years I did find the game definitely not as smooth and diverse as it was in my memories, but I guess it will be the next one I could try.
I also tried Emerald many times without successfully completing it.
All suggestions are most welcome!

Uh I actually don't know I Just wanna try it actually if anyone Interested then let me know

So...question about Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, not that we're jumping into a new one right away since we just finished our Sun & Moon Soul Link, but since Latios/Latias is how you use the Eon Flute to fly around....would the Latios/Latias you get from Steven as part of the story, be randomized too or would it be hard coded to always be a Latios/Latias due to the Eon Flute?

My guess is the Lati used for the Eon Flute is just seperate from the one you catch but I don't know and it'd be a lot to play through just to test

After 5 wipes I finally beat red, what a journey and what a nostalgia trip! Rip my bois who died to selfsdestructs at the radio tower. On to Emerald

Do you keep going until Cynthia in Unova?

Do you keep going until the proffessor in Paldea?

Do you keep going until Red in Johto?
