    Mother of Pearl - Another Nuzlocke!?
    A Pokémon Pearl Nuzlocke
    Hey guys, and welcome to my second Nuzlocke that I'll be recording on LV - Mother of Pearl! (Credits to @DrGetus for the name). Unlike my first Nuzlocke - X-termination - this one will be much less detailed, posted in simple dot points of when I caught a Pokémon, lost a Pokémon, fought an important character or an evolution occurred.

    For this run, these are the rules I'll be using!
    • If a Pokémon faints, it is considered dead and is released or stored in a "Dead" PC Box (Extra Pokémon that are sent to the PC are NOT dead and CAN be taken into the team)
      PSN status to 1 HP is also equal to death

    • Nickname all caught Pokémon
    • Catch the first new Pokémon you see in a field
    • NO LEGENDARIES
    • The one Pokémon per field rule is nullified if a shiny Pokémon is found
    • Mt. Coronet counts as two zones (the caves and the outside/snowy mountaintop)

    Entry 1
    • Started my game with the name Chris. Rival's name is Bean, after Achromatic and as a tribute to his failed Platinum Nuzlocke (read it here!)
    • Starter Pokémon was Chimchar, chosen by RNG. Named him Gohan, after a Chimchar from my favourite Nuzlocke (read it here!) who is named after the Dragon Ball character. Gohan has a Naive nature [+Spe, -SpD].
      Ironically, Bean chooses Piplup as his starter, which matches both Achromatic's starter in his Nuzlocke and the starter of the rival in the Nuzlocke already mentioned in this sentence.
    • After a tedious amount of back-and-forth travel, I'm finally able to get my Route 201 encounter. It's a Bidoof. Named her Marine, but not after MarineAurora because that'd be just mean. Marine has a Brave nature [+Atk, -Spe].
    • Backtracked to Lake Verity to capture a second Pokémon - Starly. Named her Stella because Stella sounds like stellar which means "of the stars", and Starly as "star" in its name. Stella has a Mild nature [+SpA, -Def].
    • Encountered and captured Kricketot on Route 202. Named him Delelewoop for obvious reasons. Delelewoop has an Impish nature [+Def, -SpA].
    • While grinding on Route 204, Delelewoop is killed by a wild Starly's critical Quick Attack. RIP Delelewoop Lv3 - 7.
    • Encountered and captured Budew on Route 204. Named him Roscoe because it has the same letters as "rose". Roscoe has a Sassy nature [+SpD, -Spe].

    Krickertots usually end up that way in nuzlockes. Not a lot of attack power early on.

    Neat Nuzlocke so far! RIP early bug-types and their inability to scale quickly with the enemies. I'm curious as to why you chose pearl. Is that just the cartridge you had at the time?

    Entry 5
    • Started out by attempting some special manipulation that involved catching Bibarel, checking the stats, then running in a certain pattern to encounter a Chansey with a guaranteed Lucky Egg, but ended up using Thief to steal one from the fourth random encounter Chansey I found. All captured Bibarel were released, and no Pokémon fainted (although Sophie got really close a few more times than I wanted)
    • Encountered and captured a Ponyta on Route 210. Named her Fire Horse because I'm not creative. Fire Horse has a Bashful nature [neutral].
    • While grinding on Route 210, Fire Horse was killed by a trained Girafarig's Stomp. RIP Fire Horse Lv. 18 - 18.
    • While grinding on Route 210, Roscoe evolved into Roselia, and Sophie evolves into Floatzel.
    • Encountered and captured an Abra on Route 215. Named her Whiskers because of Alakazam's fab 'stache. Whiskers has a Modest nature [+SpA, -Atk], and I cry because not only did I manage to capture an Abra in one Great Ball, but it has an amazing nature. Let's hope she doesn't die any time soon.
    • While grinding on Route 215, Whiskers evolved into a Kadabra.
    • Defeated Gym Leader Maylene. No deaths occurred.
    Sorry for short post, but the grinding was much longer than it looks in writing.

    • Encountered and captured a Tentacool on Route (218). Named him Tentai for no particular reason. Tentai has a Serious nature [neutral], and was transferred to the PC.
    • Defeated Bean in Canalave City. No deaths occurred.
    • While grinding on Iron Island, Rei evolved into Lumineon.
    • Defeated Gym Leader Byron. No deaths occurred.
    • Encountered a Bronzor in Wayward Cave, but went against capturing it (in other words, I was salty about it not being a Gible).
    • Defeated Galactic Commander Saturn at Lake Valor.
    • Defeated Galactic Commander Mars at Lake Verity.
    • Encountered and captured a Sneasel on Route 216. Named him Niles for no particular reason. Niles has an Adamant nature [+Atk, -SpA], and was added to the team.
    • While attempting to capture Niles, Rei is killed by an attack I didn't see because I was distracted, most likely a critical hit. RIP Rei Lv. 12 - 36.
    • While grinding on Route 216, Roscoe learned Petal Dance, so I allowed it to evolve. Roscoe evolved into Roserade
    • Encountered and captured a Snover on Route 217. Named her Yuki after the legend of the Yuki-Onna. Yuki has an Impish nature [+Def, -SpA], as was transferred to the PC.
    • Encountered a Machoke in Acuity Lakefront, but went against capturing it.
    • Defeated Gym Leader Candice. No deaths occurred.
    • Spent a long-ass time (like, 3 - 4 hours) grinding my 5-man team to Lv. 50, because god knows I won't be bothered doing it at Victory Road + it was easier (but still more time-consuming) to do it in Acuity Lakefront for some reason (well, except Hail. Oh my god I hate the weather). Also traded myself the item needed to evolve Sneasel into Weavile, and as such, Niles evolved into Weavile.
    • Defeated Galactic Leader Cyrus in Veilstone Galactic HQ.
    • Defeated Galactic Commander Saturn in Veilstone Galactic HQ.
    • Encountered an Abomasnow on Mt. Coronet (outer), but failed to capture it in order to save Gohan's life.

    I'm not one for nicknaming Pokémon (or really nuzlockes for that matter) but I really appreciate your witty approach to naming and succinctly commentating the events in dot point form. It's very nicely laid out. Also Bean rival; best.
