Pokemon Lucklocke Challenge

[Rankumander]

Hello! While browsing through the Dragonfly Cave, a new idea for a nuzlocke variants popped into my head: The Lucklocke. With the Lucklocke, you have to have a Random Number Generator, which can be found online, handy. This is because as implied in the name, luck can lift some restrictions or bring terror onto your team. The rules are as follows. Fell free to add your own rules and "effects" (explained later) to fit your challenge.

*NOTE: Some of these rules may change depending on what effects you have in play.

1) If a Pokemon faints, it dies.
2) You can only catch the first Pokemon you see on a route.

3) No PC. When a party member dies, you may replace that party member, but you cannot switch your team around. Only replace dead Pokemon.
4) No repels. No running from battles.
5) You cannot heal during battle.

6) Battle style must be put on SET.

7) A wipeout = Game Over.
8) Legendaries are not allowed.
9) When you catch a Pokemon, set your number generator to 1-20 and roll. Whatever you roll puts an effect in play. YOU MUST GENERATE AN EFFECT IMMEDIATELY AFTER A CAPTURE. NO MOVING YOUR PLAYER, NO HEALING, NO SWITCHING, NO BATTLE, NO NOTHING UNTIL YOU ROLL. Keep track of your effects, because some do not apply until later circumstances. The default effects are in the spoiler.

Spoiler:

Effects

1) You can catch a second Pokemon in your current area. It must be the next Pokemon you find there. Don't generate another number for the next capture (if you catch this Pokemon)
2) The Pokemon in the third slot of your party dies. If there is not a Pokemon in your third slot, the Pokemon in your first slot dies.
3) You are granted access to freely use the PC on your next Pokemon Center visit, and your next Pokemon Center visit only.
4) The next time a party member gets a status effect, besides confusion, you may not heal it until your reach a Pokemon Center you have not been in before.
5) You can switch your battle style to switch until you beat the next gym or Elite Four member.
6) Buy $5000 worth of items, then toss every item you just bought. (Yes, including Premier Balls). If you do not have $5000, spend all the money you have and toss the items.
7) Your next Pokemon death does not count.
8) Switch your three highest level party members for the three highest level Pokemon in your PC.
9) You can heal in battle during your next major battle*.

10) Swap all of your Party Pokemon for the lowest level Pokemon in the PC.
11) You can revive a previously killed Pokemon. Note: A Pokemon can only be revived once. If it dies again, then it is gone for good.
12) You cannot heal until you reach a Pokemon Center that you have not been in before.
13) You are allowed to run from battle until you reach a town you have not been in before.
14) Toss all your healing items.
15) Team Scramble! (Set up another number generator, from 1-(Y), Y being the amount of Pokemon you have alive. 1 is the first pokemon in your party, and Y will be the last in your PC. For your number order, count Pokemon row by row, not Column by Column. Generate a number for the total Pokemon you have in your team so far. [so if you have three, you'll generate 3 numbers.] These numbers you roll choose who you have in the team) If you do not have any Pokemon in your PC, this rule does nothing.
16) The next time a Pokemon dies, you have to sacrifice another team member. If effect seven is in effect when this effect occurs, your death does not count. However, the sacrifice still must occur.
17) Next time you fail to catch a Pokemon, you get one more chance.
18) You are not permitted to use the Pokemon in the lead of your party until you beat your next major battle*.
19) You cannot purposely grind your Pokemon until you beat your next major battle*.
20) Nothing happens. Yay.


Major battles include gym battles, rival battles, and fights against evil team leaders and admins.
If an effect cannot be applied, roll again. If the second roll cannot be applied, nothing happens.

I hope this sounds like a challenge someone is willing to take on! I am starting my own run of it in Platinum. Have fun, and may Lady Luck be on your side.

1. Is a person allowed to use a real 20 sided die or are RNGs required?
2. I removed the no running. I don't care what challenge it is, that's too cruel and unnecessary.

 

[Rankumander]

1) a 20 sided die will work as well.
2) That's okay. I was on the fence about that rule as well, which means I need to change effect 13. Any suggestions?

Oh wait, did you mean no running from battles? I thought you meant no running... like with shoes. Which would be cruel to deny someone... oops >.>

 

[Rankumander]

^Yeah, I meant no running from Pokemon. Removing the running shoes would be absolutely painful D:

It's okay! I should have specified more.

I am thinking about doing this on randomized Expert emerald just to make it more interesting :3 I won't be using legendaries though ~

 

[Rankumander]

Alright. Legendaries are your choice, as it is a randomized game. :D Have fun and good luck!

Finally got around to starting this :o I changed the game to Emerald randomizer though because Expert Emerald is broken on my pc~

Did all the starting stuff and I got to picking the starter - the starter choices were Gardevoir, Drowzee and Snorlax - I went with Gardevoir [Wally] because it was my favourite out of the three ~ I set the randomizer so that every pokemon starts with 4 moves- and he has one powerful moveset: Swagger, Psychic, Nightmare and Psybeam -Nightmare is useless though so I cannot wait to replace it and same goes for swagger - Now rolling the rng for him~ Generated 20 (Yay! Nothing happens!) - I am pretty sure that I didn't randomize the moves- but he gained one level and learned drill peck instead of Nightmare - Lol Found May- Wally gained another level while running through grass so her torchick was a breeze :3

First encounter on first route was Linoone - Not bad :o [Lino] - Has Extremespeed Nature Power, False Swipe and Light Screen - I sure hope that I get to keep him because he would be awesome for catching new pokemon! I rolled 8 which cannot be applied - I rerolled and got 1! Second encounter was Togetic (Aerial Ace, Bounce, Mirror Move, Sky Attack) - Caught and named Mystic! Rolled 1 again for it! That would be Dunsparce but I killed it - Yay for OP team D:

Did some quick grinding up to level 8 so everybody is on the same level - Mystic tried to learn Wing attack but I was like meh - Priority is better so I declined, Lino however learned Metal Claw isntead of Nature Power. Extremespeed is just so powerful :o

Found a Snorunt [Ryuki) on the next route [Tail Whip, Return, Smellingsalt, Icy Wind] - Rolled 6 - Yay I get to spend 100 pd! - Bought and Antidote and Tossed it away ~

Ryuki training time! He tried to learn Defense Curl - How about no - Also Omanytes with milk drink x.x

Next route encounter is Cubone <3 Yay one of my favourite Ground types! <3 - Caught and named Lena [Ice Ball, Magnitude, Fissure, Spit Up] - Rolled 1 for it - What's up with all those 1s I am getting?! Second encounter on the route is Misdreavus - Mister Boo - [Stomp, Spite, Rain Dance, Lick] - Dammit rolled 19 :( Ohwell hoepfully the gym bettle still goes well D: Lena, I am counting on you for that D:

Poochyena with Ice Punch nearly kills Lena- Awesome D: Met dad and Wally.. Yay for that x.x

Zigzagoon with self-destruct nearly killed Lena D: She is soo unlucky and I need to keep her alive D:

Next encounter was Sableye - Good replacement for Misterr Boo :3 Caught and named Pranskter! From what I could see it had a ton of dark moves - Because it was keep using knock off and Torment - Rolled three- I checked on Sableye but it only has Knock off as it's only attacking move so I guess that I am sticking with Mister Boo for now.

Forest!
First encounter was a Memento Tyranitar :_: But I wanted the T-rex to join the team D: (Or pc) Ice Punch Poochyena again - Lena managed to tank a hit and survive and get a kill yay! She also learned Bone Rush which could come in handy in gym.

Route 116- Found Aipom - But I accidentally killed it :(

Wat? Lena is trying to learn Water gun! How bout no? Lol

Got to that tunnel - Caught Dodrio [Kiwi] - Rolled 9 which means that I can heal during first gym battle!

Gym battle:
She sents out Geodude - I use Lena - Using bone rush - leaving it with a bit of health - it uses Rock Tomb that does nothing. She heals.
Bone rush ftw!

Second Geodude- I use Magnitude [7] - she heals. Than uses Defense Curl- Magnitude [6] finishes it off.

Nosepass- I heal because I am in yellow zone. It uses Tackle- I go for Fissure but it misses :(
It uses harden - Fissure misses again- So I go for Magnitude instead - It uses tackle I get magnitude [6] It uses Block I get Magnitude [7] still not enough for the kill! Tackle again and Magnitude [10] for the win! Yay!

First badge get! I am going to go to the tunnel once again - battling the trainers that I skipped earlier and grinding everyone up to level 15 than I will battle the grunt and Brandon and update again ^^

Got everyone up to level 15! Mister Boo learned Shadow Punch which is amazing :3

Battled Team Aqua Grunt - and defeated his Poochyena with Mister Boo and it's stomp lol

VS. Brendan:
I started of with Mister Boo, he started with Lotad- Two shadow punches later it's dead.
Torchick is up next - Boo goes for Shadow Punch taking it down to a little bit under half hp - he goes for wish - Shadow punch ftw!

 

[redrock1337]

I should totally try this on HG/SS!

If it's alright, I'll be updating on the details.

Continuing our journey :3

Caught Leo the Squirtle in Dewford [Fishing] - Rolled 17 for it!
Caught Shady the Shedinja with fishing on that upper route- generated 19 for it which is allright because I believe that my levels are good enough for now + I have Wally and Mystic for the gym.
Got to Granite Cave- Failed to catch Mankey but I get another chance. But I caught Patterz the Wingull.

VS. Brawly:
I start off with Mister Boo- He start with Machop - I go for shadow punch doing less than half - he goes for bulk up, I go for swords dance - he spams bulk up - I go for shadow punch leaving him with a little bit of hp, he heals and I go for another shadow punch, he spams bulk up some more and I finish off with two shadow punches in a row.
He sends out meditite and Mister Boo OHKO's it with Shadow Punch
Makuhita comes out - It's another Bulk Up spammer - It's heal, bulk up, shadow punch all over again - Eventually it dies and I get 2nd badge.

Found Abra above Slateport- And I rolled 10 for it so *sigh* Grinding time!
