Welp, time for my first pokemon run. Why is this called a Semi-Nuzlocke Challenge? You will find out from the rules.
Rules
1: If a pokemon faints, i have to put it into a box until 1 of 3 things happen. 1 - I defeat the champion, this brings back all the dead pokemon. 2 - Use a revive. 3 - They sometimes don't even die. A coin is flipped upon fainting. If
heads, the pokemon lives, but is unconscious - it cannot be revived without a Pokemon Center. If tails, it dies, and the normal ways to get the dead pokemon back apply.
1a: Legendary Pokemon are not affected.
2: If I run into a pokemon not in my party or in my box (dead or not), I do these 5 Steps VIA Random.org.
Step 1: Flip a coin. If heads, I clear Step 1. If tails, I fail, and have to make the pokemon faint.
Step 2: Generate a random number from 1 to 5. If number is 1 or 5, I clear Step 2. If its 2, 3, or 4, I fail this step, and......you get the idea.
Step 3: For this step, I have to generate ANOTHER number. I take the typings of the current generation, number them, and use Random.org. If the typing is the typing of the wild pokemon is correct (or if the pokemon I am trying
to catch has 2 types, I still only generate one - if it matches one of those...), I have completed all steps and can now ATTEMPT to catch it. If I fail, I do not have to go through all the steps for the same pokemon that I failed on.
3: All Pokemon will be Nicknamed. Specifically names that you guys choose. Although I choose my starter name.
Rules can and WILL be added on. Every time I get a badge, you, the viewers of this thread, get to add 1 Rule. It can be a Nuzlocke rule, or a rule you made up. It's your choice. However, I only choose 1 rule per badge. Mostly the ones that would make my run harder. If I can't seem to decide by how easy or hard it would make it, I just make a list, number the rules, and use Random.org to choose one. And before you go like "CHOOSE ALL THE RULES." let me say this: if
I did, that would probably make people spam rules, and they would ruin my run.
Objective: Become the Champion
Reward: Escape from this Dimension.
Well, time for me to have a sorta backstory for today. The real run begins tomorrow, for now we get a sorta...backstory. In a spoiler.
Ah, how life was simple. I had a normal life as a normal human. But then I was sucked into the world of Pokemon. I was a trainer, starting off. I had played the game, starting with Diamond and Pearl. Plus Platinum. I was getting a 2DS for a Christmas present, as well as the X/Y Pokemon Game. But enough about that. I ended up starting to choose Tepig, when i heard a voice from the Pokeball saying "Please no! I have been through enough deaths!" After I heard that, I went for Snivy. I heard "NONONONONONONONONO PLEASE NO." So i tried to go for Oshawott, which I expected to act like the others, but nothing. I took it, and went to work in my first rival battle....only to lose horribly. Then everything went black. Then I saw light, and a person.....but I seemed a bit small. I realized I must have become a pokemon. An oshawott, to be exact. Oh, I forgot my name. It's Jared.
The trainer character is....well, who else but me, Ledol?
If you don't want to spoil the appetite, Try this:
1. Fainting = Death
-revival of ONE pokemon per gym leader (does not stack when you don't need it)
-Dupes and shinies clause count
2. 1st pokemon on each route
3. Nicknames.
The point of a nuzlocke is to gain an emotional attachment to your pokemon through challenge. You may be stuck with terrible pokemon, but hey, they may be cool later on when they learn hyper beam (for example).
This is a cut-up nuzlocke, so you can remove the revival thing for a classic run.

This is not a nuzlocke completely. It has permanent death, but that is the only thing from the normal Nuzlocke. I don't want it too hard at first, so people can think of good rules to post to make it harder after I get badges. If this had more of a Nuzlocke feel to it, there wouldn't be many idea's for rules to make this run harder. And I don't want this to be too hard on me if I try to train early on, only to have all my pokemon faint and die. So I am modifying Rule 1. It will not take affect until I have a full team of 6, as well as at least 1 pokemon in my PC box. Also, I kinda suck at normal nuzlockes. Almost every time I do a nuzlocke, I can't even survive long enough to beat the first gym of the game. And even if I do, I lose to the second gym! And if that was so, it would take me like a billion attempts to get to Victory Road. Plus, I have never completed Black Version 2, so cut me some slack. I would rather take my confusing rules than rules that can make me lose before getting to Victory Road. And the people posting don't even have to pay attention to the rules. Only I have to. Well, except for the part of 1 rule being added after each time I get a badge. And my rival will also be adding 1 rule each time I beat him. Although the ones from my rival are chosen by me.
Anyway, I am beginning my run now.
So, I will be getting a pokemon today?
Yes, but you also have to take a pokedex.
Oh mom! I just want to adventure with my pokemon!
You can, but you will eventually have to fill up the pokedex.
Well, I'm off to find the girl giving me my pokemon!
Hey Ledol, how's it going?
It's pretty good, I am getting a pokemon today.
Sweet! Mind if I come with you?
Sure.
One search later....
She's probably looking at the sights. Why don't you go up there and talk to her? Get your pokemon and all that.
That's what I came here for!
Um, hello?
It looks so pretty from up here! Don't you agree, stranger?
Yeah, this is the place I go to rest most of the time.
Oh, where are my manners? My name is Bianca, the assistant of the one and only Professor Juniper.
Ok.....
Oh, by the way, I am looking for someone. Do you know anybody that has the name Ledol?
Um...that would be me.
Ah. Well that's nice to know. I'm guessing you came up to me for the pokemon and pokedex?
Yeah. Why else would I talk to you?
Oh, almost forgot. I have to take out the pokemon storage capsule.
Please don't pick me, please don't pick me, please don't pick me.
Arceus, have mercy on me. PLEASE.
...
I think I'll pick.....the one that was silent.
Oh thank god!
I just cannot go through another run!
Well, now that I have my first pokemon....
Where the heck am I?!
I think I got a crazy pokemon.....
Here's the thing......he lost.
Huh?
You see, your not the only one who tried this. Many have tried, and have fallen. They have been turned into Pokemon.
Ah. So, whats your name?
It's Jared. Don't get it wrong though.
This one seems to have never been used until now.
Well, don't worry! I won't let you die.
D-D-D-D-DIE?!
I am a pretty decent Pokemon Trainer. I beat this region once before - although without this extra stuff - and I can do it again. (When i say I beat this region once before, I mean in Pokemon White. Not the second version though.)
Well, if you say so, but now I'm scared. If I die....what happens?
You respawn here, for another trainer to grab if they so desire.
Oh god no. Please tell me you won't let me die, trainer.
I promise. And call me Ledol. Now, the pokedex?
Oh yeah! Here.
Thank you. Well, I'm off.
See ya!
Oh, hey Kial. (That's my rival's name BTW)
Hey. How much longer am I going to have to wait?!
Not any longer - I got my first pokemon.
What's that your holding?
Why, he's holding a pokedex.
Can I have one? I think if I know more about pokemon, I have a good chance to become stronger!
Ok....that IS a good idea, because Pokemon Distribution has changed since the last two years went by. You are lucky that I have this second pokedex. You know what? You two should do a pokemon fight. You both DO have pokemon, right?
Yep, and we already know Ledol has one, because you gave him it.
Saving before Rival Fight, just in case I get pummeled by a Critical Hit.
Well, let's do this.
Bring it.
I won't bother listing what happens in the battle, like EVERY SINGLE ATTACK. I will just say the HP changes in my party after the battle is over. Except for this one, since Bianca heals them. If my pokemon faints, I will say so.
Welp, my rival got a critical hit, leered me and then killed me. ATTEMPT TWO TIME. I am really happy I saved.
Hooboy, that was close. No critical hit this time, but he hit me once, then leered me 3 or 4 times, then tackled me to knock me into 8 HP. But yay for Level Up! Although Crappy Stats.
Jared Leveled Up!

Off-Topic: I think I'm gonna remove the different colors. It's becoming a Pain.
Kial: Drat. Your first battle ended with a victory Ledol, but you might fail next time! To make sure of it....
New Rule: Your pokemon cannot hold berries.
Bianca: That was a nice battle. Not bad, Ledol. But, this person is still weak, so what you need to do is battle with it to make it become stronger.
Ledol: Of course.
Bianca: Let's go to the pokemon center.
Ledol: Agreed.
One Healing Later.....
Bianca: Do you need explaining on the PC?
Ledol: Nope.
Bianca: How about the shop?
Ledol: Nope.
Bianca: Ok. You seem to know this all well. So here.
Ledol gained 10 Pokeballs!
Ledol: Thanks.
Bianca: Just what I normally do.
Ledol: Time for me to buy items. *buys 10 more Pokeballs for the free Premier Ball, followed by 5 Potions.*
And I thi-oh wait, still gotta get running shoes and all that.
But either way, I'm going to end this post here. Won my first rival battle (although I had to reload my save) and got pokeballs, and outside the post, got Running Shoes, as well as the Map, so I think that's enough for now. After I eat Lunch, I might play some more.

Ledol's the name, making threads and posting on them is my game!
OK you keep going but I certainly won't understand the rules.
You don't have to understand the rules, like I said.
Anyway,,,,
Think I'm going to remove dialog. In fact, I will. I will just post my progress
When I last opened up the game, I....
Got my first pokemon
Defeated my Rival for the first time
Obtained Pokeballs, as well as Running Shoes and Town Map.
And now, I shall continue. But nicknaming is still going to be 100% of the time. However, I might put my own nicknames until we gain access to a name-changer, in which then you guys can put new nicknames for certain Pokemon besides my starter. In fact, that is what I am going to do. Having to wait for people to post nicknames each time I capture a pokemon is annoying.
I start exiting the town, but get interrupted by the "gatekeeper" telling me I can't go without a pokemon, although I have one. She gives me a free potion (YAY) and lets me be on my way. Then boring tutorial on how to catch pokemon. I KNOW HOW TO. THERE SHOULD BE AN OPTION TO SKIP THE TUTORIAL. POKEMON, LEARN FROM MARIO RPG ON SKIPPING TUTORIALS. So one boring tutorial later, I start catching pokemon. No dupes though. And even then, my 3 steps activate. My first encounter is a.....Purrloin! At level 2, female. Step 1 Activate. Tails. I fail this step. I faint the Purrloin, but only after it gets a Critical Hit on me for 3 damage. And Jared levels up.

I can tell already this run will be REALLY annoying. But fun for you guys. My next encounter is a....Patrat! Also Level 2, and is a Female. Step 1 Activate. Step 1 Clear. Step 2 Activate. Step 2 Clear. Step 3 Activate. This one is gonna be a hard one. Generated Number is 16, or Dark. I failed Step 3. ONE FRICKING STEP AWAY. ONE FRICKING STEP. I take 3 damage in the battle, and use 1 Water Gun and 1 Tackle. Next encounter is.....a Level 4 Female Purrloin. PLEASE LET ME CLEAR ALL THE STEPS GAME. Step 1 Activate. Heads. Step 1 Clear. Step 2 Activate. Step 2 Failed. Generated Number was 2. I destroy it by using 2 Water Guns and take no damage due to the Purrloin being stupid and choosing Growl. This is getting annoying. Next encounter is....another Level 2 Female Purrloin. Step 1 Activate. Success. Step 2 Activate. Failure. After taking 1 Damage (PFFT) i make it faint with 1 Water Gun and 1 Tackle.
Next encounter is.....A level 2 Female Patrat. The game wants me to raise a Level 2 that is also female. Step 1 Activate. Success. Step 2 Activate. Success. Step 3. Failure. Normal Type is Number 1, and generated number was 11, or Psychic. I almost 1-hit it with a Water-Gun, but he lives to deal 3 Damage. I finish him with a Tackle. Next encounter is.....A Purrloin. Level 3, and Female. Step 1 Activate. Failure. HOW LONG AM I GOING TO HAVE TO DO THIS BEFORE I CAN CATCH ONE. I take 0 damage in the battle (PURRLOIN BEING STUPID AND USING GROWL) and make it faint with 1 Water Gun and 2 Tackles. Next one is.....oh wait, Jared leveled up.
Jared is now Level 8.

Next encounter is......Level 2 Patrat. Female. AGAIN. Step 1. FAIL. OHKO. HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO FRICKING TAKE. Next encounter is a level 2 FRICKING FEMALE Purrloin. Step 1 Activate. YAYSUCCESS. Step 2 Activate. FAIL. ANGER. I won't be putting any more "Step BLAH Activate", I just wanna catch them outside the post. Level Up's will be listed.
I CLEARED ALL STEPS ON A PATRAT. I NEVER HAVE TO DO IT TO CATCH A PATRAT AGAIN. OR AT LEAST ATTEMPT TO. PATRAT CAUGHT. Nicknamed Cih.
Returning to town for healing. NOW.
16 EXP for Jared to level up.
After healing, I shall try to catch a Purrloin outside the post. Then train. I shall post results of training later, along with more plot development.
Edit: Patrat Stats, Nature of both pokemon.
Cih is Level 4, with a Gentle nature. Stats are 18 Max HP, Attack is 10, Defense is 7, Sp. Atk is 8, so is Sp. Def and Speed.
Jared's Nature is Timid.
From what I understand, you impose multiple, time-consuming steps on yourself to decide how to react to each and every wild pokemon you encounter?
???
These steps are to make it harder, for it took quite a while to succeed with them all to catch a patrat....and I forgot to catch a Purrloin. Crap. Well I can just do that later today, since I got school to do. Although I don't wanna be posting while I'm trying to catch the Purrloin. Once I clear all of it's steps, I NEVER HAVE TO DO THEM AGAIN IF I ACCIDENTLY RELEASE THE PURRLOIN. But I think I will remove one step. Step 3. Its almost impossible due to the fact that I have to generate a random number, with a notepad with the types of pokemon with numbers, because there are 17 types I could get. And plus, I can't even make it there most of the time.

Rules
1: If a pokemon faints, i have to put it into a box until 1 of 3 things happen. 1 - I defeat the champion, this brings back all the dead pokemon. 2 - Use a revive. 3 - They sometimes don't even die. A coin is flipped upon fainting. If
heads, the pokemon lives, but is unconscious - it cannot be revived without a Pokemon Center. If tails, it dies, and the normal ways to get the dead pokemon back apply.

Step 1: Flip a coin. If heads, I clear Step 1. If tails, I fail, and have to make the pokemon faint.
Step 2: Generate a random number from 1 to 5. If number is 1 or 5, I clear Step 2. If its 2, 3, or 4, I fail this step, and......you get the idea.
Step 3: For this step, I have to generate ANOTHER number. I take the typings of the current generation, number them, and use Random.org. If the typing is the typing of the wild pokemon is correct (or if the pokemon I am trying
to catch has 2 types, I still only generate one - if it matches one of those...), I have completed all steps and can now ATTEMPT to catch it. If I fail, I do not have to go through all the steps for the same pokemon that I failed on.

-revival of ONE pokemon per gym leader (does not stack when you don't need it)
-Dupes and shinies clause count
2. 1st pokemon on each route

The point of a nuzlocke is to gain an emotional attachment to your pokemon through challenge. You may be stuck with terrible pokemon, but hey, they may be cool later on when they learn hyper beam (for example).
This is a cut-up nuzlocke, so you can remove the revival thing for a classic run.
This is not a nuzlocke completely. It has permanent death, but that is the only thing from the normal Nuzlocke.

And if that was so, it would take me like a billion attempts to get to Victory Road. Plus, I have never completed Black Version 2, so cut me some slack. I would rather take my confusing rules than rules that can make me lose before getting to Victory Road. And the people posting don't even have to pay attention to the rules. Only I have to. Well, except for the part of 1 rule being added after each time I get a badge. And my rival will also be adding 1 rule each time I beat him. Although the ones from my rival are chosen by me.
Anyway, I am beginning my run now.
So, I will be getting a pokemon today?
Yes, but you also have to take a pokedex.
Oh mom! I just want to adventure with my pokemon!
You can, but you will eventually have to fill up the pokedex.
Well, I'm off to find the girl giving me my pokemon!
Hey Ledol, how's it going?
It's pretty good, I am getting a pokemon today.
Sweet! Mind if I come with you?
Sure.
One search later....
She's probably looking at the sights. Why don't you go up there and talk to her? Get your pokemon and all that.
That's what I came here for!
Um, hello?
It looks so pretty from up here! Don't you agree, stranger?
Yeah, this is the place I go to rest most of the time.
Oh, where are my manners? My name is Bianca, the assistant of the one and only Professor Juniper.
Ok.....
Oh, by the way, I am looking for someone. Do you know anybody that has the name Ledol?
Um...that would be me.
Ah. Well that's nice to know. I'm guessing you came up to me for the pokemon and pokedex?
Yeah. Why else would I talk to you?
Oh, almost forgot. I have to take out the pokemon storage capsule.
Please don't pick me, please don't pick me, please don't pick me.
Arceus, have mercy on me. PLEASE.
...
I think I'll pick.....the one that was silent.
Oh thank god!
I just cannot go through another run!
Well, now that I have my first pokemon....
Where the heck am I?!
I think I got a crazy pokemon.....
Here's the thing......he lost.
Huh?
You see, your not the only one who tried this. Many have tried, and have fallen. They have been turned into Pokemon.
Ah. So, whats your name?
It's Jared. Don't get it wrong though.
This one seems to have never been used until now.
Well, don't worry! I won't let you die.
D-D-D-D-DIE?!
I am a pretty decent Pokemon Trainer. I beat this region once before - although without this extra stuff - and I can do it again. (When i say I beat this region once before, I mean in Pokemon White. Not the second version though.)
Well, if you say so, but now I'm scared. If I die....what happens?
You respawn here, for another trainer to grab if they so desire.
Oh god no. Please tell me you won't let me die, trainer.
I promise. And call me Ledol. Now, the pokedex?
Oh yeah! Here.
Thank you. Well, I'm off.
See ya!
Oh, hey Kial. (That's my rival's name BTW)
Hey. How much longer am I going to have to wait?!
Not any longer - I got my first pokemon.
What's that your holding?
Why, he's holding a pokedex.
Can I have one? I think if I know more about pokemon, I have a good chance to become stronger!
Ok....that IS a good idea, because Pokemon Distribution has changed since the last two years went by. You are lucky that I have this second pokedex. You know what? You two should do a pokemon fight. You both DO have pokemon, right?
Yep, and we already know Ledol has one, because you gave him it.
Saving before Rival Fight, just in case I get pummeled by a Critical Hit.
Well, let's do this.
Bring it.
I won't bother listing what happens in the battle, like EVERY SINGLE ATTACK. I will just say the HP changes in my party after the battle is over. Except for this one, since Bianca heals them. If my pokemon faints, I will say so.
Welp, my rival got a critical hit, leered me and then killed me. ATTEMPT TWO TIME. I am really happy I saved.
Hooboy, that was close. No critical hit this time, but he hit me once, then leered me 3 or 4 times, then tackled me to knock me into 8 HP. But yay for Level Up! Although Crappy Stats.
Jared Leveled Up!

Off-Topic: I think I'm gonna remove the different colors. It's becoming a Pain.
Kial: Drat. Your first battle ended with a victory Ledol, but you might fail next time! To make sure of it....
New Rule: Your pokemon cannot hold berries.
Bianca: That was a nice battle. Not bad, Ledol. But, this person is still weak, so what you need to do is battle with it to make it become stronger.
Ledol: Of course.
Bianca: Let's go to the pokemon center.
Ledol: Agreed.
One Healing Later.....
Bianca: Do you need explaining on the PC?
Ledol: Nope.
Bianca: How about the shop?
Ledol: Nope.
Bianca: Ok. You seem to know this all well. So here.
Ledol gained 10 Pokeballs!
Ledol: Thanks.
Bianca: Just what I normally do.
Ledol: Time for me to buy items. *buys 10 more Pokeballs for the free Premier Ball, followed by 5 Potions.*
And I thi-oh wait, still gotta get running shoes and all that.
But either way, I'm going to end this post here. Won my first rival battle (although I had to reload my save) and got pokeballs, and outside the post, got Running Shoes, as well as the Map, so I think that's enough for now. After I eat Lunch, I might play some more.
You don't have to understand the rules, like I said.
Anyway,,,,
Think I'm going to remove dialog. In fact, I will. I will just post my progress
When I last opened up the game, I....
Got my first pokemon
Defeated my Rival for the first time
Obtained Pokeballs, as well as Running Shoes and Town Map.
And now, I shall continue. But nicknaming is still going to be 100% of the time. However, I might put my own nicknames until we gain access to a name-changer, in which then you guys can put new nicknames for certain Pokemon besides my starter. In fact, that is what I am going to do. Having to wait for people to post nicknames each time I capture a pokemon is annoying.
I start exiting the town, but get interrupted by the "gatekeeper" telling me I can't go without a pokemon, although I have one. She gives me a free potion (YAY) and lets me be on my way. Then boring tutorial on how to catch pokemon. I KNOW HOW TO. THERE SHOULD BE AN OPTION TO SKIP THE TUTORIAL. POKEMON, LEARN FROM MARIO RPG ON SKIPPING TUTORIALS. So one boring tutorial later, I start catching pokemon. No dupes though. And even then, my 3 steps activate. My first encounter is a.....Purrloin! At level 2, female. Step 1 Activate. Tails. I fail this step. I faint the Purrloin, but only after it gets a Critical Hit on me for 3 damage. And Jared levels up.

I can tell already this run will be REALLY annoying. But fun for you guys. My next encounter is a....Patrat! Also Level 2, and is a Female. Step 1 Activate. Step 1 Clear. Step 2 Activate. Step 2 Clear. Step 3 Activate. This one is gonna be a hard one. Generated Number is 16, or Dark. I failed Step 3. ONE FRICKING STEP AWAY. ONE FRICKING STEP. I take 3 damage in the battle, and use 1 Water Gun and 1 Tackle. Next encounter is.....a Level 4 Female Purrloin. PLEASE LET ME CLEAR ALL THE STEPS GAME. Step 1 Activate. Heads. Step 1 Clear. Step 2 Activate. Step 2 Failed. Generated Number was 2. I destroy it by using 2 Water Guns and take no damage due to the Purrloin being stupid and choosing Growl. This is getting annoying. Next encounter is....another Level 2 Female Purrloin. Step 1 Activate. Success. Step 2 Activate. Failure. After taking 1 Damage (PFFT) i make it faint with 1 Water Gun and 1 Tackle.
Next encounter is.....A level 2 Female Patrat. The game wants me to raise a Level 2 that is also female. Step 1 Activate. Success. Step 2 Activate. Success. Step 3. Failure. Normal Type is Number 1, and generated number was 11, or Psychic. I almost 1-hit it with a Water-Gun, but he lives to deal 3 Damage. I finish him with a Tackle. Next encounter is.....A Purrloin. Level 3, and Female. Step 1 Activate. Failure. HOW LONG AM I GOING TO HAVE TO DO THIS BEFORE I CAN CATCH ONE. I take 0 damage in the battle (PURRLOIN BEING STUPID AND USING GROWL) and make it faint with 1 Water Gun and 2 Tackles. Next one is.....oh wait, Jared leveled up.
Jared is now Level 8.

Next encounter is....A Level 2 MALE Patrat. Finally a non-female, it took like 20 encounters. Step 1 Activate. SUCCESS. Step 2. FAIL. Have to make it faint. CRITICAL HIT FOR ME. Next encounter is......Level 2 Patrat. Female. AGAIN. Step 1. FAIL. OHKO. HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO FRICKING TAKE. Next encounter is a level 2 FRICKING FEMALE Purrloin. Step 1 Activate. YAYSUCCESS. Step 2 Activate. FAIL. ANGER. I won't be putting any more "Step BLAH Activate", I just wanna catch them outside the post. Level Up's will be listed.
I CLEARED ALL STEPS ON A PATRAT. I NEVER HAVE TO DO IT TO CATCH A PATRAT AGAIN. OR AT LEAST ATTEMPT TO. PATRAT CAUGHT. Nicknamed Cih.
Returning to town for healing. NOW.
16 EXP for Jared to level up.
After healing, I shall try to catch a Purrloin outside the post. Then train. I shall post results of training later, along with more plot development.
Edit: Patrat Stats, Nature of both pokemon.
Cih is Level 4, with a Gentle nature. Stats are 18 Max HP, Attack is 10, Defense is 7, Sp. Atk is 8, so is Sp. Def and Speed.
Jared's Nature is Timid.
???
These steps are to make it harder, for it took quite a while to succeed with them all to catch a patrat....and I forgot to catch a Purrloin. Crap. Well I can just do that later today, since I got school to do. Although I don't wanna be posting while I'm trying to catch the Purrloin. Once I clear all of it's steps, I NEVER HAVE TO DO THEM AGAIN IF I ACCIDENTLY RELEASE THE PURRLOIN. But I think I will remove one step. Step 3. Its almost impossible due to the fact that I have to generate a random number, with a notepad with the types of pokemon with numbers, because there are 17 types I could get. And plus, I can't even make it there most of the time.
Finally caught a Purrloin. Here were it's stats (and what i named it until we get to a name-changer) when i caught it. It was also male.
Name: Steve
Caught Level: 3

Cih fainted trying to catch this thing though, so I had to finish the job with Jared, knocking him into 7 HP, then caught it with the Premier Ball. Going to heal it later/tomorrow, but for now I just wanna watch Youtube. I will also be checking my other 2 topics due to having infinite posts per day. And I didn't really make this for Approved Posts. I just made it for fun at first. But it got me to the 11+ approved posts i needed for infinite posts. I am still going to be posting on this topic though.
