Day 9 of My Pokémon Yellow Nuzlocke Challenge!

A whole couple of real life days have passed without any gameplay, so I’m not counting them in my record.

We’re heading down Route 9 towards Rock Tunnel and then on to Lavender Town. Right off the bat, Belle levels up and evolves into a Weepinbell. Awesomeness! Now to find a Leaf stone to evolve her more later. Crispy had me worried for a minute when he took some Fury Attacks from a couple Beedrill, but he not only handled it like a champ, he also leveled up twice in that one battle, so yay!

We also get an encounter here:

Route 9 Encounter—Nidoran ♂/ Lawrence

Lv. 16

Hp: 41

Attack: 27

Defense: 21

Speed: 21

Special: 19

Barely got 1 step into the grass and boom! here’s a little Nidoran ♂to work with. Now, I already have my Nidoqueen, Lily, but it’s good to have a Nidoking as a fairly comparable back-up just in case something happens (let’s just pray it doesn’t). Anyway, we’ll keep knocking down these trainers and getting stronger on our way over to the entrance into Rock Tunnel.

Yipes! I almost lost Plowboy there to another Diglett! Being faster that your opponent can have its downsides in the case of both using 2-turn moves—I Dig underground, they Dig underground; I pop up and whiff, they pop up and hit. At least Belle and Mike are having a good time ripping apart the other Poison- and Ground-types and gaining levels just fine. Which makes me realize that I’ve been neglecting Zippy a bit. Whoops! Better fix that coming up soon. First, our next encounter comes in a patch of grass above the Pokémon Center next to Rock Tunnel’s entrance.

Route 10 Encounter—Machop/NachoMan

Lv. 16

Hp: 50

Attack: 35

Defense: 25

Speed: 17

Special: 18

Machop is fun as a good early game Fighting-type; though, because his evolved form, Machoke, only has a mediocre base stat total (BST), I would have to find another option before the Pokémon League. Here’s the issue with trade evolutions (Machoke, Haunter, Graveler, and Kadabra require being traded to evolve to their highest stages) and my case—I don’t really have anyone to trade with that I know of. I’m pretty sure my brother didn’t get any of the virtual console games; and being out in the middle of nowhere, it’s a shot in the dark to find someone else who can trade with in my area. Basically, I’ll be able to access a Hitmonlee soon anyway and NachoMan will likely not see much use. Oh well. 🎶Nacho, Nacho Man! Salsa, cheese, and chips; it’s Nacho Man!🎶

Now let’s make sure to heal up before we head into the long dark of Rock Tunnel. The way is dark, it was made by those who are bats, and the Zubat keep it; the way is dark…

Another thing I need to do is pull some positive vibes together so I don’t end up with a Zubat as my encounter because that would be…painful. Oh and knockout this other trainer here for more experience.

Rock Tunnel Encounter—Geodude/Cephas

Lv. 16

Hp: 40

Attack: 30

Defense: 40

Speed: 14

Special: 15

(Charlie Brown voice): I got a rock.

Jokes aside, a rock/ground-type like Geodude could prove useful for the Fire Gym in the distant future. Let’s hope we make it that long; Rock Tunnel is a labyrinthine mess without using Flash.

Yet, we’re made of tougher stuff! We don’t need to waste a move-slot on Flash especially when Gen 1 has conveniently given us the outline of walls and ladder locations. Gen 3 remakes fixed this difficulty issue by giving the player a small little circle of light around your character and leaving the rest black and blank; made it much harder to navigate if you didn’t have Flash on one of your Pokémon. Though the Gen 3 remakes also had a bunch of other fixes and QoL improvements on top of that so, whatever; maybe I’ll transfer my old Pokémon over and do a Nuzlocke of LeafGreen next and get a proper comparison.

Man! These trainers are either just terrible or my team is somehow getting better. Had some problems dealing with some Hikers’ Geodudes actually having Rock Throw finally but then I switched in Lily and punted them into the ceiling. Furthermore, the wild Pokémon are simply EXP fodder for my team as Zubat, Geodude, and Machop all fall easily to Zippy, PlowBoy and Belle, and Mike respectively. Basically, when we hit Lavender Town and Celadon City, we should be in tip-top, battle-ready shape.

So, with a little bumping around and battling our way through, we make it out of Rock Tunnel. There’s a few more trainers here just outside the exit, but I think I’ll save here and leave the rest for tomorrow.

IF THESE CLOWNS DON'T STOP PISSING EVERYWHERE I'LL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GO SANS UNDERTALE ON THEIR ASSES

Today's afternoon snuggle is brought to you by Jakey and Nacho! I find this very surprising as Jakey is very particular about other male dogs. I have noticed lately the two of them hanging out and starting to form a bond. Jake's best friends are Indi and Fayah. Looks like Nacho may be added into his circle! #teamjakers #nachoman #germanshepherd #gsd #doberman #rhodesianridgeback #seniordogs #bonding #formingfriendships #nap #sleepingdogs #bed #sotired #saturday (at Whispering Willows Senior Dog Sanctuary, Inc.)

Woke up this morning and saw that @mmbrandonsavage & I were on the "50 Cosplay Costumes That Blew Our Minds" list from The Grizzled website. @alysontabbitha & @danqu15h were on there as well. It's an honor to be on the same list as those two, especially considering the fact that there are thousands of cosplayers out there in the world. 🌎 I'm honored 🙏 Photo by @dtjaaaam ____________________________________ . . . . . . . #cosplay #cosplaylist #HulkHogan #hulkhogancosplay #machoman #hulkhogancostume #huckster #machomancosplay #Hulkster #machomancostume #nachoman #Hulkamania #wwe #wwf #wcw #cosplaywip #cosplayworld #cosplaying #cosplayersofig #cosplayersofinstagram #cosplayfun #cospositive #cosplayphotography #cosplaylove #cosplaylife #cosplaysexy #starsofcosplay (at Dragon*Con) https://www.instagram.com/p/By0J5dKjvxp/?igshid=korg0k5ypqd8
