Let's Play! Platinum Randlocke! Wheee.

[Starbloom~]

Man, I'm really bored.

So yeah, I decided to do a Plat Randlocke, I'll put some of my progress and shenanigans here. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is a Nuzlocke run with randomized features. For this particular run, I randomized encouters, trainer Pokemon, Pokemon learnsets, abilities, and a few other things.

Italics is like actions/roleplaying, think /me on Showdown.

EDIT: Yes, I know, this post was a bit extensive, I'll try to cut down on the spam and be more informative? Unless you guys don't mind. In which case I'll be glad to do it like this.

Let's get going, shall we?

Jumps up and down in excitement.

Blushes Aw, Kim il Saturn, how nice ;n;

And now the randomness commences!

Starters:
Spearow, Xatu, Cloyster
Thinks for a brief second.
I think I'll take the Clam this time around.

Woah, did they change Cloyster's art? It's adorable! Giggles.

Gasps. Rhythms, that's inappropriate!

:O An Umbreon! I'm glad I bought Pokéballs at the mart.

... 3 Pokéballs Later...

....Breaths heavily. That was... too close.

Second Member joins the fray! Mansavage the Umbreon! gj The Mansavage c:

Alright, I'll end this post here, before it gets too long.

Ciao~

"Wait.. what?"

"Oh my god." Panicks.

AND you got an Aerodactyl as part of the bargain? Sweet!

Anyway, if learnsets are all randomized, will the Pokémon you catch be that useful? Particularly Umbreon, with its quite mediocre offensive stats, is quite dependent on crucial support moves to be any effective. Rough Skin is a decent Ability for it, though. Shame the Cloyster wasn't that lucky.

Mm, that's the fun of a Randomizer run. You never know what you're going to get :P Shuckle learned Close Combat!
Am I allowed to revive Aero? I don't even know. Hopefully though.

Yeah man, it's all about that Stall Cloyster. Rolls eyes.
Thanks~

Hey, you were lucky enough to get a STAB move on Heatran right from the get-go, so at least you'll have that to rely on for the early parts of the game.

excited to see where this goes!

 

[BulbaSword]

I am naturally talented ofc, no surprise that I got a good move. :P

Decides she's done enough grinding and moves up to Route 204.

"Woah, an Abra! Should I even bother? It's just going to telepo-" Facepalm. "It's a randomizer."
"Ugh, it's level 4. Maybe I grinded a bit too much? How am I even going to do this?"
Starts chucking Pokéballs and hopes for the best.
-5 Pokéballs later-

"Ayy lmao."

A new challenger joins the fray! Meteordash the Abra!

"Okay then. Flash Fire Ice Shard Abra, I think I'll have to either HM slave you or hope that you get something good." Sighs.

((By the way, I won't be doing much more grinding after this, I realize I overdid it, but oh well, can't reverse time :P I will bring Abra up to pace first, though.))
