Wow, another Save Swappers...so, which two handsome and beautiful forum members gave you the idea to do a Save Swappers? Kappa
We're out of DS games to play...
VULPINIAN SHINX WANTED TO DO THIS WITH ME SO HERE WE ARE!
This thread is ALL copy-pasted because I'm lazy.
What is a randomizer?
VS and I are playing through a randomized version of this game. Meaning, every Pokémon you find will be a random one instead of the ones usually found in the area. The following things will be randomized in this challenge:
- The starter Pokémon are three completely random Pokémon.
- The level up moveset of every Pokémon is random.
- Trainer's Pokémon, names, and class names are all random.
- Wild Pokémon are random.
- Static Pokémon are completely random.
- TM moves are random.
- Every Pokémon has a 50% chance of being able to learn a certain TM/HM.
- Move tutor moves are random.
- Ingame trade Pokémon, its OT, held item, nickname, and IVS, as well as the requested Pokémon are randomized.
- Field items are shuffled.
- Pokémon that require trading and such to evolve now will be hacked to evolve because NO TRADING ALLOWED ON AN EMULATOR
What is a "save swappers"?
Basically, it's a chain play of two people. Person A plays through a certain part of the game, then he sends the save file to Person B. Person B then plays through another part of the game and sends the save file back to Person A. They keep doing this until they beat the game. Also, I forgot to mention this in my previous thread, but the (stupidly cheesy sounding) name came from this YouTuber named HoodlumScrafty, so don't yell at me for not calling this a hot potato.
What is a nuzlocke?
A nuzlocke is a challenge where the player plays by self-imposed rules to make the game harder. The rules we will be playing by are as follows:
- If a Pokémon faints, it is considered dead and may not be used in battle. It has to be either released or deposited in a PC box for all eternity.
- The nuzlocke challenge isn't over even if you white out, as long as you still have Pokémon in the PC.
- You may only capture the first Pokémon you encounter in each area.
- Dupes Clause: If the first encounter is a Pokémon that has been captured before or a Pokémon in the same evolution line, then you may choose to encounter something else instead.
- Shiny Clause: If you find a wild shiny Pokémon, you are free to capture it regardless of whether it's your first encounter or not or if it conflicts with dupes clause.
- You must nickname all of your Pokémon.
So yeah, that's the entire challenge in a nutshell. Like I said earlier, I will be doing this with Vulpinian Shinx, so the both of us will be posting updates of this in this thread. This is the order I came up with. If a part is too long or too short we'll switch it up but this should be fine.
SuperSceptile: Cheren
Vulpinian Shinx: Roxie
SuperSceptile: Burgh
Vulpinian Shinx:hot model ladyI mean Elesa
SuperSceptile: Clay
Vulpinian Shinx: Skyla
SuperSceptile: Drayden
Vulpinian Shinx: Marlon
SuperSceptile: The E4
Vulpinian Shinx: Champion Iris
Just a reminder, this is a NUZLOCKE, so we can't afford to intentionally screw each other over after every update. This will be a group effort, so don't expect us to be stuck with a level 2 Rattata when we start the game. If we lose the nuzlocke, we'll probably continue this. We haven't decided on what we're going to do yet, but we'll definitely decide on something if we get to that point.
I will probably update in a bit. By the weekend I should.

since i'm not in this, you guys will definitely lose. Kappa
You guys are off to a great start!
Well, I've kind of unofficially put this on hold.....
We decided we're gonna do volt white 2 when we do do this though. I haven't been able to start yet because it's the last few weeks of school and I've had a lot of work to do. No promises but I MIGHT get this done by the end of sunday. I've been having trouble finding a .nds rom for these games. The format the roms have works on the emulator, but I can't randomize it unless it's .nds.
So to put it simply:
1. Lots of work recently.
2. Me trying to find a rom I can randomize.
