    There was a Go event in a town a little more than an hour away last night that their zoo hosted. I think the zoo charged like $3 per person, which is lower than the norm, and last I read there was over 1600 people that showed up for the "Safari".

    So, I've figured my track record with Nuzlockes isn't fantastic because I take the challenge way too lightly. So I'm going to up the stakes in a new Y Nuzlocke by applying these rules:

    - every time I defeat a Gym Leader with no casualties, I get the opportunity to go to any previously visited area and catch a pokemon following the normal Nuzzy rules. However; gift (includes fossils) and interactable Pokemon are no longer free for all, and now classify as an encounter for the area it's in (so, if you REALLY want that one mon in the middle of a cave, better load up on repels!).

    Lastly, if I lose ANY amount of Team Members in a Gym Leader or Rival match, I must release a pokemon. In order to ensure its a fair release, I'll have each Team Member slot assigned a number (1-6, Left to Right), and each slot in the PC boxes a number (7-? (don't know how many slots in a box), Left to Right). Then I'll use a RNG tool to select a Pokemon.

    It was inspired by Shadypenguinn's Shadylockes (I'm nowhere NEAR ready for that challenge), and Yu-Gi-Oh's Battle City (win a duel, get the opponents best/favourite card. Lose, and hand over yours).

    Yeh. That moment when Pikachu slot-blocked Aegislash, although I'm questioning the % of gravity on that battle field - dunno how those logs floated. Noivern boss-af, taking down a pseudo. Goodra eating them hits for breakfast. Lol @ M-Sceptile getting denied existance by a Water type move. What move was Greninja using when it uppercut and drop hit Sceptile when they briefly went hand to hand, where his hand went blue and energy-y? Aerial Ace?

    And dat Frenzy Plant, does Sceptile have Wood Release??


    Currently my YLocke team is Heathcliff the Chespin (L9), River the Scatterbug (L8), and Broc the Pansage (L4, totally should've named it Hashirama).

    the world champion ribbon: it is given to a pokemon that has become the world champion. Other than special ribbons, the Gorgeus Royal Ribbon, can be purchased from the ribbon store in Mauvile for 1 million pokedollars.

    Also, the expert battler ribbon that requires the mon to beat a head in the battle maison in super mode.

    Hm, yeah, they all do sound rare. How hard is it to get the Expert Battler?

    It's difficult. You need to win 50 consecutive battles in either singles,doubles or triples in the battle maison. The more you climb, the harder the AI goes.

    Doesn't it also start to cheat and counter-team you?

    Yeah, it does. After racking up some wins, it starts hitting 1-hit KO moves, counters your team and stuff.

    50 is "easily" doable. You can do it, but it will take time and effort.

    There is some really... off about Greninja in the 'arms spread' image. Don't know what. Maybe its because I'm used to seeing it in Synchro.

    Go with Gengar(Focus Sash, Timid: Dazzling Gleam/Shadow Ball/Sludge Bomb/Destiny Bond) and Mega Kangaskhan(Adamant: Fake Out/Sucker Punch/Return/Earthquake) + anything good, I used Dragonite but I guess Tyrantrum is fine too.

    You can get to 100+ easily and even 200 if you don't get super unlucky. Gengar/Kang immunity abuse and their power in general carries the last mon 90% of the time so it's not that relevant. Also use only 100% accurate moves or it will be risky.
