    Telling your nuzlocke tale in the form of an animation helps a lot to make the travel more interesting in narrative terms.

      @@Forslimjims I'm very aware that the idea of Nicknaming them is to develop emotional attachment but this genuinely in no way makes the game harder. Ash used his shitty Pikachu for the whole series because of an emotional attachment he made with it through exclusive reasons that he did not have with his other pokemon. If every pokemon is being nicknamed there is no exclusive reason in nicknaming them to prefer one over the other. If she prefers one over the other, it's not due to nicknames as every pokemon is nicknamed. She also either plans to or actually does many times throughout the nuzlocke sacrifice certain pokemon she loves in order to win...So again I ask. WTF do you have to smoke to come to the conclusion that nicknaming pokemon means you cannot arrange the strongest possible team available to you? Can I have some? How did 595 people get their hands on OP's stuff and how did 46 other people get their hands on yours? Gotta love mob mentality: "why actually think for myself, or at all for that matter!"

    Just did my own Sapphire Nuzlocke adopting Jan's rules:
    - No overleveling the next Gym Leader.
    - No items during battle except Hold Items.
    - Set Mode
    Had a few pretty humiliating losses:
    - Lost Gyarados to Norman's Slaking.
    - Lost Marshtomp to Machoke's Revenge on Route 115.
    - Lost Manectric to Milotic on Route 120.
    - Lost Banette to Foresight + Revenge from a Machoke on Route 127. (Revenge was my worst enemy in this Nuzlocke, I also learned what Foresight does)
    - Allowed Wailmer to evolve because I forgot Wailord doesn't learn Water Spout until 44, which I was planning on using to take out Tate & Liza with ease.
    - Lost Wailord to Archie's Sharpedo.
    - Lost Meditite from missing Hi-Jump Kick.
    But in the end I had some victories as well:
    - Used a Grumpig for the first time (kind of bad, but still cool).
    - Learned that you can get items like King's Rocks and Focus Bands from Linoone's Pickup.
    - Learned to beware Foresight, as mentioned above.
    - Deathless Winona because Castform is a monster.
    - Deathless Wallace because he can't touch Shedinja at all (kinda felt like cheating tbh, but only a little since Shedinja was underleveled and could barely do damage).
    - Learned of the devastating power of Ninjask's Swords Dance + Baton Pass to Armaldo.
    - Deathless Pokémon League Challenge.
    My team in the end was:
    Ninjask (Swords Dance/Aerial Ace/Slash/Baton Pass) (Shell Bell)
    Armaldo (Ancient Power/Protect/Slash/Fury Cutter) (Sitrus Berry)
    Grumpig (Psychic/Confuse Ray/Rest/Bounce) (Chesto Berry)
    Castform (Hail/Sunny Day/Weather Ball/Thunderbolt) (Nevermeltice)

I don't have evidence of this, but considering the research shown with some of the other details (high/low rolls, specifically), it's the sort of thing where, at the time of animating/recording, it would've clued in to her by then, that it wasn't "chance" or "divine intervention" that saved Z.Z.

    This is why I consider Steven Stone the third toughest champion to deal with, and almost competing with Leon for the number two spot. Because Metagross was a lot scarier when it resisted dark and ghost and your gen 3 options for fire and ground were more limited. And even if you take it out, if you waste too much on just Metagross, the fossils can be an issue, between Cradily's tankiness and Armaldo's damage output.

For her level 32 Magneton who got 160 hp EVs to lose 2 hp it requires 24 EVs to be missed, in this case 12 marills.

    I will forever LOVE Breloom. Why? Here is a story!
    I've been playing Pokemon since red and blue, and I had a real life rival who I was never able to beat. Junior high high school, never beat him. I eventually made it my goal that I would at least be m in one game. Stanley happened in X & Y. I got a male Breloom who I named The Duke, taught it Mach Punch, and gave it a King's Rock. (In case you didn't know King's Rock has a chance to make the opponent flinch.) It was a close match and he eventually killed all but The Duke. He had two Pokemon left, one was almost dead and the other was at full health. I was able to Mach Punch it and cause it to flinch allowing me to kill the full health one. And being that it's Mach Punch always goes first it was easy to take down the one after that that was almost dead. So after almost 13 years I finally beat him thanks to my Breloom.
