What is this "nuzlocke" everyone speaks of? A reference to the pokemon without the e?

A Nuzlocke run is when you use the following rules to make the game more challenging:
1. You can only catch the first Pok?mon encountered in a route.
2. Pok?mon that faint must be released/dumped into a box and never used again.

It's not an official rule, but I'd say most people add the following:
--All Pokemon must be nicknamed

I like them because they often force you to use Pokemon that you would otherwise steer clear of. For example, I hated the Conkeldurr line until I got a Timburr in a Nuzlocke run of White.

Some find them to be more difficult, but level grinding takes care of any type disadvantages one might face.

I've done those before, they're called monotype runs. Every Pok?mon has to have the type you choose (or gain it after evolving). Your HM slave is generally excluded from those rules. A good tip is to try get a varied amount of dual-types.

I did a Dark monotype run on White, and an all Water one on White2. Volt Absorb Lanturn was so useful.

People still use HM slaves? Most hidden machines aren't even needed for story mode.

Anyone made it to Grand Duke/Duchess?

Yes, I think the only thing it unlocks is Diantha

Thanks. I was hoping to face more than one person that was Grand Duke/Duchess. Would have been cool if Prof. Sycamore was a Grand Duke.

It's cool that they came up with that, but I'd rather do the chaining manually.

Can anyone help me evolve my Kadabra?

 

[Toeto]

I can help you if you want

 

[Bread Kennedys]

I can help you if you want

Can you do it now? Because if not I have to leave and won't be back for a few hours. D:

Edit: You're offline, and I'm back very early, so I'm going to try to see if anyone can do this sooner. If nobody can do this sooner, I'll just go with your offer when you get back online.

Edit 2: I have Alakazam now, so nevermind.

Anyone know of some good ways to raise friendship? I've given my Budew two massages, a Soothe Bell to hold, and it still won't evolve when I level it up. I've done at least 40 wild battles with it too.

Maybe befriending power will help you. Is it still day?

It's still daytime and I started using the Befriending Power. After two more levels, still no luck.

Moltres keep getting in the way of my wild battles! Wtf?!

If you have any breeding projects going on, I'd just keep it in your party as you zoom around waiting for eggs to appear/hatch.

Also, I believe using items on it raises friendship. Like vitamins and EV berries.

Josephine is a Roselia now! She's so cute in Pokemon-Amie. ;w;
