I have it on my computer.

You should do a nuzlocke.

I am actually! :D No losses yet but I did modify one rule, I get to choose the one pokemon in each area to catch, if I want it.
I haven't played Gold in ages so I wanna enjoy it some, ya know?

I guess. I'm just operating on the duplicate clause (and probably shiney too).

My team is still strong with no losses. I actually think gen 1 and 2 might be easier for nuzlockes.

What's that?

It is due to lack of abilities and I think that special split in the stats hasn't happened yet. I've lost two so far though, getting a bit cocky trying to level grind. Dx

Duplicate Clause absolves me from having to catch the first Pokemon I encounter if it's something I already caught. It just defaults to the next new pokemon.

The special split did happen for gen 2. It's mostly the lack of special abilities and that later games introduced more expansive movepools to make previously lackluster Pokemon more effective.

I see. I'm not sure if I could win with even the double clause haha. I've gotten cocky and lost several mon...

What's your current team?

Now I'm kinda pissed at myself. Had a chance to catch a Miltank and accidentally ran from it.

My team right now is only four, a Togepi (trying to evolve), Cyndaquil, Pigeotto and Onix.
Miltank is broken af. x'D

It's a good bulky Pokemon though.
The core of my team up until this point has been: Croconaw, Alakazam, Golbat (working on Crobat), Flaafy, and a Sandslash. I've been rotating others in as necessary at various points in the game. I had been using a Ghastly, who was a major player in the battle against Whitney, alongside my Sandshrew; the two of them really pulled through, tactically.

I'm still deciding on how I want to round out the team going into the Elite Four though... It's a tough call right now, but I figure that it's never too early to start thinking of that. At the moment, I'm foreseeing good chances, in so far as their ability to survive. I think the Ice and Dragon gyms, as well as the Rocket battles coming up, will be the major threats.

Where'd you get Ghastly!?
The dragon gym more than anything else I'd say.

Ghastly appears in Sprout Tower at night.

It was basically necessary to catching Abra.

I usually just throw pokeballs and hope one gets Abra lol. I manged to get one abusing save states....sadly the emulator messed with my phone. TuT

It would seem that my Croconaw is feeling inadequate, due to having witnessed several team members reach their final evolutions while he's still at his second stage.

Why is he taking so long? Are you blocking his evo?

No good place to train him.

I took him into Burned Tower and ice punched some koffing and got him his evo yesterday.

Ohhh that's right, he evolves at a kinda high level no? At least compared to that area.

How's your Nuzlocke going?!

It's dead sadly. My phone rejected the app. TuT

That sucks.

I got through the Pokemon league, but at the cost of Alakazam and Machamp.

Oh no. D: Were they huge loses?

Alakazam felt more like an asset loss.

Machamp felt more personal, because she was a huge factor in helping my Sandslash defeat Jasmine.

Like, Alakazam wrecked three gyms on his own, but really didn't bond or work with the others.

D: So both sucked to lose in their own way. Now that you've won the game can't you pull them from the PC and heal? Or do you release them? I know some people just pc store.

I released them, as per the nuzlocke rules. I'm doing the post game.

How much post game is there? Wait you were on Gen 2 right? Lots of post game. =D
