Let's Sperg Pokemon Clover Nuzlocke (Screenshot let's play) - aka Pokemon Meme or Pokemon /vg/

[Polyboros2]

Pokemon Clover is a FireRed ROM hack made by members of 4chan's /vg/ board, with a completely new Dex full of meme based Pokemon, as well as plenty of stupid attempts at immature or offensive Pokemon. At this point it's fairly old so the memes are rather dated.

I however love me some Fakemon. Seeing as how Game freak has announced that there isn't going to be any Pokemon games in interested in, optimisticly, at least a year, I've decided to give this one a go.

I'll probably start this tonight, however, I'm going to run a quick poll on what starter to choose. The options are:




If you think another Fan Pokemon game Let's Play is excessive, there is also an option to tell me off, and you can thank @Mary the Goldsmith for welcoming the idea in the Pokemon Reborn thread.

I doubt anyone going to minds another Let's play. From what I gather, if people don't like a thread such as let's play threads they wont even click on em. So good luck on ya LP poly.

 

[verygayFrogs]

Good luck! I'm past the 1st gym and it's really fun! Idk bout the other starters but I chose the water one and he'll be super helpful for the first gym

 

[Disheveled Human]

sounds really gay just play emerald kaizo or blue kaizo

 

[Mary the Goldsmith]

I'm excited to see what this LP has in store

 

[Chaos Theorist]

Anything past the third gym is pain

 

[stinkmeaner]

Kiwis playing pokemon clover? sounds like a good time to me

 

[Nauseated Courgi]

Anything past the third gym is pain

Can confirm. I'm still stuck at the border.

 

[verygayFrogs]

Anything past the third gym is pain

Should I be concerned?

The Gym Leaders EV and IVs basically create huge difficulty spikes in Gameplay

Carlito, Carlito, Carlito, Carlev. You're welcome to Fochun, we want you to stay.

[REGENDarySumanai]

Don't you dare cheat either, because there's a nasty surprise waiting for you.

 

[Neet Tokusatsu Hero]

Wasn't Pokemon Clover meant to be "Nuzlocke-proof", as in, there are certain points that the game will actively screw you if you play by those rules?

I don't know why so many people seem to have problems with Carlito, granted, when i battled him, i was overleveled and had my own somboludo, so he was faster and stronger than the ones Carlito had in his party.

Arabomb took an early lead, and never lost it, but Grasshole took a solid run near they end there. The one person that voted for Ejacgasm, , I almost wanted to pick it to be contrarian. Don't worry, there is another cum Pokemon in the future.


So, as it states in the title, I'm going to try to run this as a Nuzlocke. It's going to be a soft Nuzlocke though, I more want the Pokemon death to add a bit of story to the game, as well as an excuse to use a lot of different Pokemon, since there is 386 new ones. However, this game is notoriously abusive to Nuzlockes, so I'm going in with a few caveats.

Spoiler: Soft Nuzlocke Rules

1. I'm not ending on a wipe. I haven't yet decided how I'm going to handle wipes, I might just call that an end to the Nuzlocke but continue the Let's Play, I might continue after the loss of the whole team with who I have left in reserve, I might give myself some sort of consequence for it.
2. I'm doubling the Pokemon I can catch, first 2 caught per Route. Gifts, eggs, trades, and legendaries don't count against that. I'm going for less of a challenge and more of a constantly changing team, and with so many Fakemons I wanna have the opportunity to try a bunch out.
3. Faints to wild Pokemon don't count. This is kind of two fold, I plan on grinding levels for replacing the fallen, and it's just more convenient to not have to bother with being safe(it's not anything you'll see anyways), but there is also a Pokemon specifically in the game to troll Nuzlockers. I don't recall if it's ever a trainer Pokemon, but I definitely will introduce it when I first encounter it, and disregard any faints from it

And Here Ve Go

Spoiler: Episode 1

We're introduced to the 4chan region, Fochun and it's Pokemon Professor, Stump. I'm kind of disappointed he's not following the tree nomenclature of Pokemon Professors. Stump is kinda referential, but I feel like it could of been better.

Since I'm going all in on this being Pokemon 4chan, I chose an a suitable name for a 10 year old entering the world of 4chan.

As for the Rival.

I didn't care for any of suggested names(and even as an 8 year old playing the games, I could cook up a more insulting name for the Rival than DICKS), so I continued with the theme, and decided this other 10 year old will be what is killing the Fochun region.

Now that we've established NEWFAG, I wanna take a step bag to the introduction before the introduction, for a sight gag.

- Uhhhhh

-Sure...

Ah, the Console Dating system of Pokemon games, this gives you an inclination of when at least this part of the game was made. The traditional free potion is in your computer. I always imagine I had it in there before having a Pokemon because I have a huffing problem.

-Oh good, my mother learned parenting from the TV, no wonder I'm running away from home at 10. What is she watching anyways?

I'm mainly going to include any bits I feel like the designers at least tried to make funny, but in this case I'm keeping it in cause I actually had to reload a save state to get it. After reading it once, the TV is turned off.

There is also a basement that's blocked off by this tree... I wonder if this is just an odd element or if there is something to it?

-I wonder if that's where my sister, TITSGTFO, the girl option, is held prisoner for not being selected.

We go out to /vp/ Town. It's very similiar to Pallet Town, two other houses and Prof. Stumps lab.

With a unpassable surfing Route 23 to the South

I'll be the judge of that. I do like the remix of the Pokemon theme for the opening screen at least.

The Pokemon Laboratory is pretty much a carbon copy of Oak's. The music is however a chiptune of the "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" theme. +1 on that.

NEWFAG isn't impressed with Stump's model of Pokedex... wait a minute...

- Ahhhh, I see what you did there. Seems like /vp/ is aware of their proclivities.
Of course Stump isn't there. Since this is starting out pretty much as a copy of Red, I'm sure we have to leave the town to trigger getting our pokemon.

Sure enough, also I like the portraits for important people's dialogue.

As the poll decided, we choose Arabomb as our starter. Decided to name him "GodIsGreat" just to be a little different from the predicable "AllahAckbar", plus it's 1 letter too long.
The one partial playthrough was with him, so I wouldn't of minded the other two.

- A suicide bomber Pokemon in a Nuzlocke, huh?

Arabomb!-

-You're gonna learn suicide moves aren't you? This is a Nuzlocke, so your a suicide bomber for reals, and I'm almost certainly going to use it if an appropriate moment arises.

INSHALLAH!-

-That's the spirit!

I'm not getting attached.

Considering they haven't seemed to have edited any event triggers at this point, no I never considered it an option.

Of course, since this is before Gen V, our Rival takes the Pokemon we are weak to, instead of the other way around. I don't know how many battle arena's are going to be like this, but I really do like the detail in the background with Stump watching us.

Well, fortunately I'm not wiping that early into the game. Only get 80 cents off the little pissant.

Here is GodIsGreat's stats after leveling up from the first Rival battle:

Careful nature means my Special Defense is up at the cost of my Special attack, possibly good for a Nuzlocke but not really in character for a arabic firecracker.

Next, we'll most likely deliver a package of drugs or something to Stump and get our first Pokeballs and the Pokedex, and see how long it takes for them to actually make the game seem different from Red(IIRC I don't think it's until after the third gym)

There's a trainer that ambushes you at a certain point.

And then at the end of VR, Samuel L Jackson sends out 6 Motherfucks, the pokemon designed to say fuck you to nuzlockers

 

[Nauseated Courgi]

Aw yes, the motherfuck. Got me the first time around, but second time a rock/steel pokemon can tank to explosion pretty well.
