That was fast. Though I guess a Nuzlocke would require less research than a challenge where you change your team after each Gym.

 

[Unovia]

Welcome to Hoenn! I named myself Brendan, set my clock, then rescued Professor Birch. My Starter choice was Mudkip (Level 5). I have never used a Mudkip before, EVER, so I decided to use it as my Starter. I named it Swampy, then went to battle May, Professor Birch's daughter, who had a Treecko (Level 5). The battle wasn't too difficult, and when I got back to the Lab, she gave me 10 Poke Balls. On the way to battle May on Route 103, I got some Potions from a nice Poke Mart worker. Loaded with Pokeballs, a Pokedex, a Pokenav, and some Potions, I prepared to go into the wilderness of Hoenn. In the next Log, we will explore Routes 101, 103, & take a few steps into Route 102. Until the next time, we will see you!

 

[Greninjaman]

I once watched a youtuber play an emerald Nuzlocke where his very first catch (a Zigzagoon) lived all the way from start to finish. Best part? He never left the party (as in, he was never boxed), meaning he saw every battle and every death.

 

[Unovia]

Welcome to the Hoenn version of "What Might We Find". That's right! This show is back for Season 2! On this Episode of "What Might We Find", we look at the first 3 Routes of Hoenn, those being Routes 101, 103, & 102. With that out of the way, let's get started!

Route 101
Zigzagoon (40%)
Wurmple (40%)
Poochyena (20%)

Route 103
Zigzagoon (40%)
Poochyena (40%)
Wingull (20%)

Route 102
Zigzagoon (30%)
Wurmple (30%)
Poochyena (20%)
Other (20%)

In the next Log (Log #2), we will reveal our finds! Please stay tuned!

That means it would have been in the bottom of the party for most of the Playthrough. Very cool.

No, he used it. After a certain death.

Route 101
Starting on Route 101, I got my first capture, a Zigzagoon I named Zigzag. I leveled it up a bit, going from Level 2 to Level 4. I got to train against several more Zigzagoon. Swampy was Level 7, so I kept it out of the fight for right now. I continued north, through Oldale Town, and onto Route 103.

Route 103 & Route 101
I looked around a bit, eventually finding a Wingull (Level 3) I named Glider. Heading back through Oldale after a little training, I ran into May on Route 101, who was doing effectively a catching tutorial, being about the Hidden Pokemon Mechanic. I allowed myself to catch the Poochyena she wanted me to sneak up on, which I named Rare Howl. Rare Howl has Fire Fang, which might come in handy later. I decided to train more. I also saw the entrance to Route 102.

Route 102
In Route 102, I bypassed a scientist who was sketching footprints, and went into the first patch of grass, where I caught a Wurmple (Level 2), that I named Branch. I left Route 102 for now. I think I will have my current Level cap be Level 7, both to match Swampy as well as find out what my Wurmple will become, either Silcoon, which becomes Beautifly, or Cascoon, which becomes Dustox

Let's Discuss: Beautifly & Dustox
Beautifly evolves from Silcoon at Level 10. It would get Absorb at Level 12, which would help with Roxanne. Should it get to Level 20, it would have Air Cutter, which might help against Brawly. Dustox evolves from Cascoon at Level 10. When Cascoon becomes a Dustox, it learns Gust. At Level 12, it learns Confusion, which would help against Brawly. It also gets Venoshock at Level 20 & Psybeam at Level 22. Either I get a Silcoon (and Beautifly) who will help early on or a Cascoon (and Dustox) which will help a bit later.

The Next Log
In the next Log, we will finish Route 102, then go onto Route 104 South. Until the next time, we will see you!

 

[Unovia]

Welcome to "What Might We Find". In this Episode, we discuss the southern part of Route 104. It has much the same Pokemon as Routes 101, 102, & 103.

Route 104 South
Zigzagoon (40%)
Wurmple (40%)
Other (20%)

Sorry this isn't very interesting, since we won't see much difference between the last couple Routes and this one. I hope my "First Encounter" for this Route is one of the other ones. We will see. Stay Tuned! In the next Log (Log #3), we will reveal our capture.

 

[Funnylion]

Good luck! Here's hoping for minimal deaths!

 

[Unovia]

Route 102
Now properly on Route 102, I battle a few Trainers on my way to Route 104. Before I got onto Route 102, I got my Wurmple to Silcoon, meaning I will soon have a Beautifly. I was a bit worried about some of the battles here.

Petalburg City
I did the tasks with Wally and his Ralts. There wasn't a lot to do here. I honestly feel bad for him, but I am hopeful for his journey.

Route 104 South
My capture on the Route was a Tailow I named Bluebird. After taking some time to catch it up to the rest of the Team, I planned to go into Petalburg Woods. In the next Log, we will go into Petalburg Woods. Until the next time, we will see you!

 

[Unovia]

Good luck! Here's hoping for minimal deaths!

I completely agree with this. Crosses fingers

 

[Unovia]

Welcome to this Episode of "What Might We Find". In this episode, we explore Petalburg Woods, which lies between the two sections of Route 104.

Petalburg Woods
Zigzagoon (30%)
Wurmple (30%)
Other (40%)

There are a lot of similar Pokemon to the other Routes previously. In the next Log (Log #4), we will reveal our capture. Until the next time, stay tuned!

Petalburg Woods In the woods, I captured a Skaloth I named Sleepy. I battled a few Trainers here, which was easy, since most of them were bug catchers. Skaloth is going to be helpful so I can do an upcoming trade in Rustboro City. While in the forest, I battled a Team Aqua grunt, who had a Level 9 Poochyena. I was Level 8 at the time, but it wasn't too bad. I decided to continue training, getting my Silcoon to a Beautifly in the process. When my Team was Level 10-11, I continued out of the Forest. Route 104 North There were several battles on the Route, most of them on the bridge, including one that was a Double Battle. Once I defeated them all, I moved into Rustboro City. Rustboro City Once I got to Rustboro City, I met up with May, who discussed the Gym and the massiveness of the City. I collected Cut and traded Skaloth for Makuhita. I went back to Petalburg Woods, where I trained Makit to Level 11. Thinking ahead to the Gym, my Level Cap is Level 14. I will be training quite a bit. In the next Log, we will take on Roxanne for our first Gym Battle. Until the next time, we will see you!

 

[Greninjaman]

Slaking is a MONSTER with its 130 base attack stat. Truant will cause problems, however.

Slakoth was traded for Makit the Makuhita.

Welcome to Gym Analysis! In this show, we will be discussing upcoming Gym Battles, looking at: The Type of Pokemon used by the Gym Leader The possible options for me, as the Trainer, to use, including the pros and cons of each option In this first Episode, we are looking at the battle against Roxanne. Roxanne is a Rock Type Gym Leader. She will have 2 Pokemon, meaning that I will only be able to use 2 Pokemon against her. Let's look at my available options. My Options: 1. Swampy the Mudkip Mudkip is the obvious choice here, since it is Water Type. Mudkip will be showing up in this fight. 2. Branch the Beautifly Beautifly is a Bug & Flying Type. Beautifly has access to Absorb, a Grass Type move. While it might be helpful to have access to a Grass Type moves, Beautifly is 4X weak to Rock. 3. Glider the Wingull Wingull is a Water & Flying Type. Wingull has access to Water Gun, a Water Type move. Wingull is 2X weak to Rock, better than Beautifly, but its still very weak. 4. Makit the Makuhita Makit the Makuhita was traded for Sleepy the Slakoth in Rustboro City. Makuhita is a Fighting Type. Makuhita has access to Arm Thrust (Level 7) and Force Palm (Level 13). While Makit would be very strong in this fight, it is a Traded Pokemon, who will only listen to me up to Level 20, so I have to be careful about using it for Gym Battles. If I were to use Beautifly or Wingull, the odds that they would be defeated, thereby leading to my first deaths of the Run, is pretty high. While Mudkip is a certain battler here, the other one is less certain. By the battle time, we will make that choice.

 

[Unovia]

Rustboro Gym Before I went to the Gym, I went to try to use Makit, who was Level 13, during a Wild Training session, only to find out that it would not listen to me! I had to box Makit. This left me with Mudkip, Beautifly, & Wingull. I knew I was going to use Mudkip against Roxanne, but I had to figure out what the other one would be. I battled all of the Trainers in the Gym using Mudkip, Beautifly, & Wingull, all of which were Level 14. Vs. Roxanne Because I was not sure what my second Pokemon would be, I actually did this battle twice, first with Beautifly & Mudkip and second with Wingull & Mudkip. Beautifly did Absorb against her Geodude, but Geodude OHKOed with Rock Tomb. I soft reset, then came back with Wingull & Mudkip. Wingull took down Geodude, taking significant damage. I decided to keep Wingull in against Nosepass, which Nosepass easily defeated. Switching in to Mudkip, it easily defeated Nosepass, earning me my first badge! 1st Death: Glider the Wingull (Level 14) Rustboro City After I left the Gym, a Devon Researcher raced after a Team Aqua grunt, who have some Devon products. Before I chased after them, I decided to go train and catch my Pokemon up to Mudkip, who is Level 15. After we train, we will be chasing after Team Aqua. Until the next time, we will see you!

 

[Unovia]

Welcome to this Episode of "What Might We Find". We will explore Route 116, which is north and east of Rustboro City. More specifically, it is between Rustboro City & Rusturf Tunnel.

Route 116
Zizzagoon (30%)
Whismur (30%)
Nincada (20%)
Other (20%)

In the next Log (Log #6), we will reveal our capture. Until then, stay tuned!

 

[Greninjaman]

Ouch. Wingull would have been perfect for Brawly.
