TOPIC | LF] Pokemon Nuzlocke RP!
I remembered I hadn't finished Ultra Sun or Moon, and I actually have an open spot for Ultra Moon, so I have that game available for a new run! Thus... I'd like to do a simultaneous run with somebody else!

Essentially how it's done is we do a nuzlocke (can do it as we roleplay or before we roleplay) and we base the roleplay's events off of our logs.

If we do it on a cartridge game (I have quite a few available but Ultra Moon is the only one I might have open?) we can even do battles before or after every gym!

But we can also do it on an emulator, could even randomize it! If we emulate it, though, we can't battle after or before every gym. I also think my Emulator has started lagging real bad on my computer so > - >... bleh.

Basic rules, we can decide to add more handicaps since the games from Gen 6 onwards are a bit easier:
xxxxx- If a Pokemon faints, permabox/release it (I prefer the former 8'D)
xxxxx- One Pokemon per route. (Incl. gifts, rock smash, trades, surf, etc)
xxxxx- Shiny Clause 8V
xxxxx- No revives

Other rules can include:
xxxxx- No EXP share on when there's more than 2 Pokemon on your team
xxxxx- No Pokemon Amie/SM Counterpart
xxxxx- or alternatively "Abuse that to all heck" (my favorite rule)
xxxxx- Catch legendaries but don't use them
xxxxx- Wobbuffet/Stupid Death/Counter/Mirror Coat/Destiny Bond clause (wobbuffets are terrifying in Nuzlockes, I swear)
xxxxx- One Wondertrade allowed
xxxxx- Soul Locke! Essentially where every pokemon we catch per route is "soul-locked" with the other, (My route 1 is "soul locked" to your Route 1) so if dies, the other dies, too! 8>c


A few things about myself as a roleplayer and my preferences:
xxxxx • I'm 26 years old, and therefore feel slightly uncomfortable roleplaying with folks younger than 18.
xxxxx • I like to roleplay on google docs.
xxxxx • I've been roleplaying for well over 10 years now.
xxxxx • Currently have no job after quitting my previous one but do have some pretty time-intensive classes so replying every day isn't 100% a possibility.
xxxxx • I graduated college in 2015 and have a major in Animation and Creative Writing. Currently taking 3D modeling classes. I'm on my last year.
xxxxx • I highly highly HIGHLY value a friendship with my roleplay partner. I find it almost impossible to get into an rp without communication with my partner that isn't just about the roleplay.
xxxxx • World building is my jam.
xxxxx • I will emphasize, though, that we MUST NOT use canons as our mains!
xxxxx • I prefer playing 16 to late 20 year olds.
xxxxx • No. Romance, but I won't hate it if it happens as I prefer platonic.
xxxxx • Bromance plz? ;3;
xxxxx • Do you use Discord? It's my best method of communication ;U;
xxxxx • Are you an artist? Ok that one's not required but I prefer roleplaying with artists so we can doodle our dorks being dorks ;;
xxxxx • I'm terrible with PMs, and CONSTANTLY forget about them, so I prefer to use that as little as possible!!

You can see my roleplay samples here.
And you can see my art linked below in my shops!

We can decide how much to divert from the original game storyline in our nuzlocke, if we wanna change gym leaders, etc!

And finally!!!
I want to see your written samples (if you don't have any, write one on the spot!)
Tell me a bit about you as a roleplayer
Which games do you have available? We can also do roms but I like being able to battle after every gym (tho ROMs means we can randomize 8D)
What's your favorite Pokemon?

And that's all!
again, you can find my stuff as a roleplayer linked above!

Ping me or PM me or just post! I'm subscribed but don't mind pings :>

My favorite pokemon is probably between Giratina, Greninja, Feraligatr, and Silvally 8'DD ahaha

I'm pinging myself because I was just browsing the Forum before bed, and happened upon this. I'll reply sometime tomorrow once I've had some rest and a bit of time to think about this, but for the moment, consider me interested!

Alright, now that I've had some time to look at my stuff, I can confidently say that I have Ultra Moon open to do a Nuzlocke on! I tend to stay away from doing proper playthroughs on Emulators only because randomizing things can lead to issues, especially on 3DS Games (Any time I try to emulate an US/UM game that I randomized, it crashes- I think it doesn't allow you to randomize Starters for some reason, I guess). (P.S. I'm writing this post by going down your post and addressing everything in order of what catches my attention first) All of those rules seem fine, though I'd like to discuss them a bit more if you're actually interested with me hopping on the Nuzlocke Train. I'm 20! Though admittedly I've been told that I don't sound like it ([i]Ick[/i]). I've actually never considered Role-playing on Google Docs before, but now that I think about it, it really is more convenient, as the Auto-correct is always ready, and it's live so we can point out if there's a typo that particularly bothers us or makes the overall sentence unclear. Currently no job or other time-consuming activities beyond some Dungeons & Dragons Campaigns I have on Saturday and Sunday Evenings, which would be the only times I'm really unavailable beyond when I have Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner and when I'm asleep. I'll admit that I am not the most sociable sort of person. That being said, I love making friends online! I'm just more on the quiet side (I believe I have a bit of Social Anxiety, but once I'm comfortable I'll be fine). So if I'm not talking too much, don't worry! I'm just trying to collect my thoughts so I don't sound [i]too[/i] silly. Not too terribly experienced with World Building, small details like that tend to be my downfall. I try to stay fairly simple because of this. No Canon Characters, and preferably they are in their late teens. Got it! No Romance Preferred but Bromance is a go. Understood! I do in fact have a Discord! I can give you my info if you decide you actually wanna do this with me. I am not so much of an artist so much as I just doodle Dragons a lot. I've never been particularly good at drawing People, so I just stick to Dragons for the most part. If we become drawing buddies, you'd probably be pulling the weight when it comes to drawing our characters together lol. I'll try to keep in mind not to depend on PMs to get your attention if I can avoid it. I understand that since I myself am a... Well, I wouldn't say [i]Forgetful[/i] so much as I am somewhat [i]Absentminded[/i] at times. Don't quite have a Reference, so I'm just making up something real quick! [quote=Roleplay Blurb I Made Up On The Spot]Today was turning out to be an annoying day for the Dragoness. The Sun had not even reached it's peak and the Kingdom had sent one of their so called 'Knights' to 'Slay' her. Of course, they stood no chance against her, as always. You'd think that they would have learned by now that metal armor doesn't mix well with fire hot as Hell itself. Then again, she supposed that since no one came back alive, they had no way of knowing that. Ah well. As unlikely as it was, perhaps they would get it through their heads today that she was not one to be trifled with, and leave her gold-filled cave to herself... It was only a few hours later, just as the Sun began it's return journey to the horizon, that the snoozing dragon was awoken by the sound of one of those Human instruments (She believed it was called a "Trumpet"). Then, someone called out loudly, in a nasal-like voice, "Hear ye, Hear ye! I present to the Dragon of the Northern Mountains, Lionel De La Julianos, Diplomat of Her Royal Majesty of Bergliez!" Oh ho? A Diplomat he says? Perhaps this day wasn't in vain of a restful sleep after all...[/quote] I will admit, I tend to a more Reactionary Style when it comes to Role-playing, so the above took a good few minutes to write up with no prior planning, lol. Still, I feel it captures some of my writing style at least. As for Games, in terms of Cartridges, I believe I have almost at least 1 of each Generation, although Ultra Moon is the only one that I'm confident that I don't have any Pokemon that I value at all. That means I can restart it with no issues to start a Nuzlocke!. And Randomizing is fun and all, but I don't like relying on the internet for ROMs, as it's difficult to tell what is legit until you actually run the ROM through an Emulator, and like I said at the beginning, the 3DS Emulator is particularly picky when it comes to running a Randomized ROM (At least in my Experience it is...). And on top of that, we probably wouldn't be able to battle each other unless we use copies of the exact same Randomized ROM (AKA, one of us Randomizes the ROM, Makes a Copy of it, sends it to the Other Person, then BAM!), which kinda messes with the fun of a Randomizer since we both have the same Spawn Tables for Pokemon... Of course, if you think it's worth it to be able to battle together on an Emulator AND Randomize it, that's probably going to be up to you. I'm not much of an Expert on Randomizing myself. All I know is that you Can't Randomize the Starters.

Alas, I don't currently have a working 3DS (we can thank my toddler for the handheld's demise), so I'm unable to participate in this fun adventure without emulators. I won't put you through the hassle of a potentially laggy time, so I'll just swing by and offer a friendly bump.

However, if you were okay with having to emulate, battles before and after gyms can still be possible! Might I suggest the Pokemon Showdown option? You and your partner would have to build your teams to match what is in the emulated games, but it is certainly an option if the battles are desired by both parties!
