its been a bit since i last posted, hi o/

[wyvyrnygo]

So I've been doing a pokemon sleep nuzlocke... (ATTEMPT 2 PART 1?)

PREVIOUSLY...

^Well I didn't expect the first attempt to end like this^

Anyway it's time for attempt 2

So here's the rules

normal nuzlocke rules

sleep to get your starter (not the pikachu you get at the start of the game)

the first pokemon you befriend each day in pokemon sleep is treated as an encounter for a route in the actual pokemon game (for this i'm using hgss)

Once per week you can get two encounters in 1 day by doing 2 sleep sessions in 1 day.

I'm also using Yugioh themed nicknames for this (so there will be images of Yugioh characters/cards next to the Pokemon that's been named after them in this post

DAY 1: Anyway, here's our starter. There was only two good options if I'm honest (the other being Slowpoke), anyway this lil guy is gonna be called Bagooska

I don't plan on taking on the next gym until I have our first encounter tomorrow but Cyndaquil is a really good starter normally so we'll probably be fine, I'm just being more cautious this time.

I'll update this as I go on

So I've been doing a pokemon sleep nuzlocke... (PART 2)

PART 1

I'm seperating each week into seperate posts because I'm concerned about hitting the max post length in one post.

So here's the rules

normal nuzlocke rules

sleep to get your starter (not the pikachu you get at the start of the game)

the first pokemon you befriend each day in pokemon sleep is treated as an encounter for a route in the actual pokemon game (for this i'm using hgss)

I'm also using FFXVI themed nicknames for this (so there will be images of FFXVI characters next to the Pokemon that's been named after them in this post, which may be spoilers?).

Anyway here's my progress for week 2

Day 8: My encounter for this day is Lich the Gastly, an increadibly good encounter for the Normal Gym. I'm feeling a lot better about battling the normal gym now.

Unfortunately I have a lot to do today so the only progress today I could make was putting Gastly in the game. Tomorrow I will be making up for lost progress though, and will probably do the next two gyms.

Day 9: My encounter was Fafnir the Larvitar. We got a psuedo legendary! Cleary the run is basically guaranteed to be successful now.

Here is my team to fight Whitney with, surely this will go well since we have Mankey and Gastl...

.... It did not go well.

I guess that's the first attempt over. I'll start the second attempt tomorrow. Damn that sucks :/

Hello I'm back again

[wyvyrnygo]

Happy 1 year anniversary!!! This game means the world to me,,,

So I've been doing a pokemon sleep nuzlocke...

I think I should probably put my progress in the run on my tumblr too

So here's the rules

Anyway here's my progress for the first few days

(Note: All Pokemon Sleep Encounters in this week were done on the Cyan Beach island in Pokemon Sleep)

Day 1: My starter is Rattata (named Gav), which is a pretty good Pokemon for nuzlocking HGSS early on to be honest (Guts + Dark Type Coverage). I mostly played up to the first rival battle on this day

Day 2: My first "encounter" is Spheal (named Jill), one of the most adorable ice types. Oh and Ice types will pretty much clear the first two gyms easy. I mostly just went through the first few routes to Violet City today, I wanted to wait until I had 3 Pokemon before doing the first gym, even though it's likely to be easy with just

(Edit: I remembered just after finishing slowpoke well that ice type doesn't actually do super effective damage against bug and now my entire life is a lie 😅)

Day 3: My second encounter is Eevee (named Clive), this one is going to be interesting to use due to the options it presents, however I'm currently thinking of having it become Flareon for use against the Steel and Ice gyms later on. Also Flareon is fluffy and huggable uwu. Today I started by clearing out Sprout Tower before the first gym

Anyway, Jill the Spheal sweeped the first gym easy, that's Badge 1/8 and the first stage of the nuzlocke done, I imagine the next gym will be easy. I'm not sure what my counter to Whitney will be yet honestly, it may require sleeping until I get a ghost or fighting type. For now I've just done Slowpoke well and will wait for tomorrow for another Pokemon before doing the second gym

Day 4: On this day I didn't get much sleep so I decided to add a new rule to this run - once per week I can get two encounters by having two sleep sessions in one day. So here is day 4's two encounters - Midadol the Mankey and Charon the Sudowoodo. These two are going to be really helpful. Mankey can handle Whitney's Milktank and Sudowoodo can handle Bugsy's Scyther.

And now we have a full team by Pokemon Sleep's standards (Note: Compared to a normal nuzlocke of this game, we're still 5 encounters behind, this new rule will hopefully even it out a bit as well as help me get enough sleep on occasions I get not enough to function)

Also Bugsy is in shambles, Sudowoodo wiped his entire team with Rock Throw. So that is 2/8 badges. The big challenge is next - Whitney's Miltank always worries me

Day 5 and 6: I couldn't continue the run during these days due to being busy preparing for a Yugioh tournament as well as other stuff. But here is my pokemon sleep encounters for those two days. Otto the Croconaw and Tarja the Ekans

Day 7: Our day 7 encounter was Morbol the Bellsprout (I went with a monster name because I couldn't think of a character that fit that evolutionary line better) This is probably going to be more helpful as a poison type than Ekans honestly

Also I put the two encounters I couldn't put in the game due to being busy into the game

And that is the end of week 1 of the Nuzlocke, Goodbye Snorlax!

For today I will just be progressing my way towards Goldenrod City, I'm still pretty busy right now so I won't be doing the gym until Day 8. Hopefully Whitney's Miltank will be easier than I think it is, I do have a strategy forming for this fight though thanks to Bellsprout and Mankey.

Anyway I'll edit this post as I go along I think (this may need a seperate post for week 2 since idk if im getting too close to the character limit for posts)

Following up from yesterday, I think my Future Redeemed OTP may be more controversial than my Xenoblade 3 OTP

[wyvyrnygo]

I wonder if my Xenoblade 3 OTP is controversial or not
