[Shao-tan]

Unsure whether to post here or not, but I'm travelling from Brazil to San Antonio tomorrow, and I'll be staying for 10 days. I was wondering if there's any locals or offline gatherings in the area that I could attend to in this time frame.

Thank you!

[FRiSKruns]

Anyone wanna play some Smash tomorrow that would be willing to either host or come over and bring wii u+smash?

I haven't played in ages and kinda wanna play.

 

[Geoberos]

Unless rides is an issue, Otaku Cafe still has their Thursday weeklies, though IICR this week's will be the last for Season 3 before the Championship / Finals.

 

[TheEclipseKnight]

I forgot that we had a thread on Smashboards lol

 

[Sinister Slush]

Yeah we should use this more often.

 

[Illusion.]

Slush, you entering the Non-top 10, or will you still be on break?

 

[Sinister Slush]

I'm gonna check out the possible otaku setup and commentate most likely along with helping beros with the recordings.
I'll be back when Bayo/Corn patch happens in Feb.

Maybe I'll enter.

 

[KoNfucius]

i may start playing again as well. questions first. i know sheik the bess right now. so im leaning towards her and mario because marios got that sick ass apollo creed costume. beside them i dont know who else to use. who is the most technical character in the game and who is the most easy to use but also good think of melee marth.

 

[Reizilla]

Melee Marth - Cloud
Most tech, probably Peach. Or Sheik/Pika for top tiers. Maybe Ryu because he's different.

 

[Espy Rose]

Peach and ryu are probably the hardest techwise. Sheik if you utilize pivottilt combos.

For the very few that still go on Smashboards but not too sure how to navigate, here's where you can find the Ultra Arcade and Otaku Cafe brackets.
http://smashboards.com/rankings/smash-for-wii-u.8/league/events

If you wanna look for yourself, go here.
http://smashboards.com/rankings/smash-for-wii-u.8/league
Be warned tho, the people that submit the tournaments/brackets won't add every single person if they don't know their smashboards account, so be sure to claim your spot if you got say 5th place at one of the weeklies.

 

[Geoberos]

If else, I created a spreadsheet of each players tag, main, NNID, Facebook, Smashboards, and Twitch accounts. At least taken from the brackets I upload for LoS.

[Nike.]

Nikes Pearl Nuzlocke Challenge

Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
Chapter 4

Chapter 5: A Thirsty Team

Pokemon| Name | Level | Moves

| Tank | 25 | Cut, Grass Knot, Bubblebeam, Ice Beam

| Cassie | 24 | HP Ground, Double Team, Quick Attack, Wing Attack

| Emberly | 25 | Stomp, Fire Spin, Tail Whip, Ember

| Starburst| 25 | Psybeam, Atonish, Growl, Confuse Ray

| Jopan | 25 | Peck, Reflect, Hypnosis, Confusion

| Chichi | 25 | Hidden Power, Meditate, Confusion, Strength

Many months have passed since I have entered Veilstone. Preparations have been made in the meantime:

• The entire team has been trained to level 25, with Cassie being the exception (she'll gain the level against the trainers in the gym).
• Enough money was raised to purchase Ice Beam, which was taught to Tank. Previous damages to our relationship have been patched, I hope.
• Chichi learned Strength.
• 30 Lemonades were purchased. I've had enough battles in the past with a lack of potions that I won't let it be the reason I lose another member.

After receiving a counter app in the Veilstone Mart, It was time to take on the gym for my third badge. Cassie lead the way since every trainer only carries fighting types. While Cassie can sweep through the gym, I'm worried as hell about a Machoke or something using Counter, which would OHKO Cassie.

On the last pokemon of the last trainer, Starburst did a Psybeam to a Machoke that did half of it's life. Machoke then used Revenge. I watched Starburst's life completely dwindle before it stopped with 7 HP. I switched out to Tank, healed Cassie to full health, and switched to her to finish the battle with Wing Attack. Not a fun moment at all.

As a precaution against the upcoming battle, I switched Chichi with Stupid. Chichi would be utterly useless against the monster that is Lucario, whereas Stupid can at least get off an Ember. It also gives me a pokemon to sacrifice if it's needed, and I simply can't put any faith in a fire horse that wanders in the rain.

After healing up, it was time to take on Maylene.

I lead with Cassie against her Meditite. It went down easily from a couple Wing Attacks and she even used one of her Hyper Potions early. Machoke scared me though. One Wing Attack with a Revenge = certain death for Cassie. I tried a Quick Attack to test the waters. I was greeted with a Brick Great that nearly killed Cassie. Ouch. I switched to Starburst who finished Machoke off.

Now for Lucario. I used a turn to heal up Cassie. HP Ground might come in handy. Lucario immediately used a Metal Claw that brought Starburst from full health to the red. In the event of another Metal Claw, I decide to switch to Stupid. He may be sacrificed right here, but Starburst is a sitting duck.

Go, Stupid!
Enemy Lucario used Force Palm!
Stupid fainted!

Eff. Well, Emberly was up next. I need to get off an Ember. Lucario used Metal Claw which only did a third. The following Ember took a third as well. On attempting the second Ember-

Enemy Lucario used Force Palm!
Emberly Fainted!

In hindsight, sacrificing both of my fire types at once for a third of HP on one Pokemon has to rank up there as one of the dumbest things I've ever done in a nuzlocke challenge.

Normally, I would lead with Starburst and get a Confuse Ray out. However, Starburst was still in the red and is currently still a sitting duck. I lead with Cassie to see what HP Ground will do.

Enemy Lucario used Force Palm!
Cassie used Hidden Power!
It's super effective!
Enemy Lucario gained health from Sitrus Berry!

So the berry basically negated HP Ground. Force did a little more than a third of my health, though I could survive another. I try another HP Ground.

Enemy Lucario used Force Palm!
Cassie is paralyzed! Cassie may be unable to move!
Cassie used Hidden Power!
It's super effective!

Cassie is in the red and paralyzed. I spend the next 3 turns using Lemonades on Cassie and Starburst. What was really concerning was that Lucario used Drain Punch once, which healed him back up to 2/3'd health. I'm basically getting off a Wing Attack and healing and rotating the two over and over. But it's way too scary for Cassie. She's paralyzed and might not be able to attack. Drain Punches could occur every turn and Lucario would never die.

I switch to Starburst. After healing up Cassie, I use Confuse Ray. It works. Lucario is now in the red. I switch again to Tank to deal the finishing blow. However, Mayelen used a Hyper Potion. Lucario is fully healed. I've lost 2 members and nobody on my team can survive 3 moves in a row. It's become a war of attrition. Thank the heavens that I just bought 30 lemonades because I'm going to need them all now.

Tank did a fourth of HP worth of damage with Bubblebeam. On the second try, Tank entered the red and became paralyzed. After healing:

Enemy Lucario used Metal Claw!
It's not very effective.
Enemy Lucario's Attack Rose!

Are you kidding me? He can self heal with Drain Punch and now his attack is raised and can continue to do so? I'm in some serious trouble. Lucario can literally wipe out my whole team at this rate with a simple crit. I stick with Tank and get off another 2 bubblebeams with Lemonades mixed in. I'm fortunate enough to not have Metal Claw raise his Attack again. At last, I get Lucario back into the red.

I switch to Cassie, whose still paralyzed. Lucario gets off a Drain Punch before my Wing Attack. He has a sliver of HP left as a result. I heal up with Cassie. Lucario uses Force Palm. It does half of my life now. If I try a Wing Attack and he hits me with Force Palm, Cassie dies. Quick Attack mighttttt not kill due to him being a Steel type, so that's too risky. Cassie could also just not attack due to being paralyzed. I'm struggling to find a way to safely get off one attack.

I heal. Lucario uses Metal Claw, which only does a third of health. I go for a Quick Attack.

Cassie used Quick Attack!
Enemy Lucario Fainted!

I survive the battle losing only 2 Ponyta's. With how easily anyone on the team could have died, I'll take that. We can rebuild. Maylene gives me the TM Drain Punch. Maybe I'll use it. Outside, Dawn approaches me and says that Team Galactic took her pokedex and needs my help getting it back. B*tch, I don't care! I was still in mourning over Emberly. I released my two ponies into their graves. Megabro was recalled to the front. Tank was PISSED and had a few words for Megabro.

Clearing Team Galactic was easy enough, though I had to carry Dawn's Clefairy harder than Megafox carries anyone in doubles not named Espy.

Pokemon| Name | Level | Moves

| Tank | 25 | Cut, Grass Knot, Bubblebeam, Ice Beam

| Cassie | 27 | HP Ground, Double Team, Quick Attack, Wing Attack

| Megabro | 25 | Water Gun, Aqua Jet, Pursuit, Swift

| Starburst| 26 | Psybeam, Atonish, Growl, Confuse Ray

| Jopan | 25 | Peck, Reflect, Hypnosis, Confusion

| Chichi | 27 | Hidden Power, Meditate, Confusion, Strength

Valuable Pokemon in the upcoming routes. Fingers crossed.

 

[Geoberos]

Nike moments. Wins at the edge of despair, at the cost of many.

 

[Illusion.]

>Not picking Chimchar

 

[Reizilla]

This isn't the Nuzlocke I remember

Still good though because it's Nike, so you know there's gonna be shenanigans.

 

[Sinister Slush]

My god I don't remember D/P having Ice beam that early.
If buizel lives long enough, should just make him be the water type HM slave while throwing a bunch of moves on Empoleon like EQ Grass knot Ice beam etc.


Also I think the other chapters were edited guys, if interested on reading the other adavturs go there.

 

[Nike.]

I got Ice Beam from the game corner. I farmed a ton of money using the vs seeker while I trained the whole team to level 25.

Edited the old posts for grammatical errors. Easier to read, now.

Bidoof is such a good slave though. Why would you kill them both off? I hope you run into like 5 Bibarels. You can name them all after me.

Chapter 6: The Legend of the Crithax

Pokemon| Name | Level | Moves

| Tank | 25 | Cut, Grass Knot, Bubblebeam, Ice Beam

| Cassie | 27 | HP Ground, Double Team, Quick Attack, Wing Attack

| Megabro | 25 | Water Gun, Aqua Jet, Pursuit, Swift

| Starburst| 26 | Psybeam, Atonish, Growl, Confuse Ray

| Jopan | 25 | Peck, Reflect, Hypnosis, Confusion

| Chichi | 27 | Hidden Power, Meditate, Confusion, Strength

My absolute highest priority is to catch a Budew/Roselia, which are available in the next route. They have been successfully dodging me during the journey, only to constantly appear in the wild afterwards. It's killing me. Grass Knot from Tank is still my only grass move option. Catching a grass type is imperative.

A wild Starly appeared!

On the bright side, I now have a Starly back-up. But DANGIT. I was watching the movie Pappion (that's not how you spell it but I am pretty dumb) so I named him that.

I very quickly had to refocus. In the middle of Route 212 is the Trophy Garden. It turns out I have access to the garden since I previously caught a Psyduck. Derp got a standing ovation from the team when we found out, like a special needs student that made a game winning 3 pointer.

OMG, PLEASEEEE let me dodge another Starly and Kricketune. A chance at either Roselia or a Pichu/Pikachu. I need this bad.

A wild Pichu appeared!

Sweet! He's going to be awful until he evolves, though. I don't even think he can see playing time until then. At least I have an Exp Share. I can also give him my TM Shock Wave for instant power. Overall, I'm very happy about the pick-up.

Upon exiting the rainy route, I find myself in Pastoria City. This place is also the home of the Great Marsh, which is similar to the Safari Zone. I'm so excited! There's going to be so many new Pokemon in there, and I bet there all going to-

Budew has a measly 10%. Everyone else sucks. Oh well. I immediately accepted the terms of surrender before I entered the grass so the blow wasn't nearly as bad when a female Bibarel appeared. I named her Paw.

There's still one more area to check before I've drained all resources and take on the next gym. Route 213 was in my sights.

Heh. 2 water types. As much as I wanted to unleash my disgust for yet another water type, I knew that Tank ready to burst. It was almost too easy to get him fuming.

I secured a Wingull, which I dubbed Enough (I'm tired of water and flying types). From here it was time to assess the recent collection.

-Starly
-Pichu
-Bibarel
-Wingull

Pichu seems to be the only Pokemon worth adding to the team. He's not going to grow quickly, either. Due to evolving with happiness, I have no idea what level he's going to evolve. Hopefully he stays clear of Tank due to influence. Everyone else that I caught was either insurance or future sacrifices for the better cause.

The time has come to conquer the next gym leader, Crasher Wake. He uses water types. I entered the gym and began researching his team. A lvl30 Pikachu would do wonders against Gyrados but that would require a ton of training. Otherwise Tank can safely Grass Knot the rest of the team. In response, I sent Pichu to the box and brought out Paw for the potential sacrifice to the nuzlocke gods.

I am making one gamble, though. I elect to start off with Starburst to give an immediate Toxic to Gyrados, the one Pokemon I'm going to really struggle against. The catch: Gyrados knows bite and a crithax could OHKO Stardust.

Let's rock.

Starburst used Toxic!
Enemy Gyrados was badly poisoned!
Enemy Gyrados used Bite!
A critical hit!
It's super effective!
Stardust fainted!

I watched this giant snake looking dragon with caution. The jaws of a Gyrados are not to be underestimated. Nonetheless, I thought Starburst could emerge alive after the first turn. Instead, He took one look at my ghost friend and simply engulfed him with one chomp. He took one belch. The last traces of my already deceased comrade was erased.

Holy ****. Crasher Wake paid off a nuzlocke god, I'm absolutely convinced. I proceeded to annihilate the rest of his team. I was rewarded with the move Brine, which would only ever be used by Megabro. It was yet another jab at Tank. I didn't care, though. I lost the one Pokemon I could depend on to take out all of the big dogs in a safe, but consistent manner. I also lost my use of the TM Toxic.

I had a roster spot to fill. The PC box was not kind:

-Megabro
-2 Golbats
-Unknown
-Paw LOL
-Another water/bird
-Derp
-an egg

I can't help but laugh. I clicked on Megabro to import him. Almost immediately I could feel Tank's pokeball shaking on my belt. He was quivering with fury.

Pokemon| Name | Level | Moves

| Tank | 29 | Cut, Grass Knot, Bubblebeam, Ice Beam

| Cassie | 29 | HP Ground, Double Team, Quick Attack, Wing Attack

| Megabro | 25 | Water Gun, Aqua Jet, Pursuit, Swift

| Pichu| 26 | Charm, Nasty Plot, Thunder Wave, Shock Wave

| Jopan | 26 | Peck, Reflect, Hypnosis, Confusion

| Chichi | 27 | Hidden Power, Meditate, Confusion, Strength

I foresee more death.

 

[Reizilla]

I hope you run into like 5 Bibarels. You can name them all after me.

a female Bibarel appeared. I NAMED HER PAW.

All I wanted was a name. The curse has begun.

 

[Geoberos]

How could you effin lose your Misdreavus!?
That Toxic better be worth it and another TM.

 

[Sinister Slush]

I seriously don't remember this many water types, tho maybe cause Pearl version with the water/dragon type being mascot so they tossed more water pokemon early on?
