Chinese Pokémon Blue Nuzlocke Part 4!
ETA: Now screenreader friendly!
A little later than usual 'cause there was so much grinding I had to do...
Sandshrew! <3 <3 <3
Through a brilliant (though very slow) strategy, I successfully capture the Sandshrew! Hooray poisonpowder. (Wow that attack text is looking a little... minimalistic.)
The very important step of healing it before the poison kills it.
Okay, here's her stats.
Now I have to decide how I'm going to defeat Misty. She's easily the most difficult gym leader, and I don't have anything strong against water-types. I can hope to catch a Bellsprout to the north, but I still have to defeat 2337.
A level 15 rattata means Hyper Fang; Bandao survived brilliantly versus that Rocket raticate, but he'll be leading against the level 18 pidgey, too.
I'll have Butterfree go against Bulbasaur; I have nothing anti-Grass, but I do have anti-Poison!
And abra is an abra, anything can take it.
So I'll level Bandao and Butterfree to 20, get Sandshrew up to a good level, and get to the fighting.
Finally!
And one of these since I haven't done one in a while
Here we go!
That is not a pidgey, why did you lie to me, walkthrough
...Oh. Right. I keep forgetting how absurd Bandao's defense is.
One Rock Throw and Tackle later...
Free EXP for Sandshrew...
Woooo OHKO
holy crap that certainly IS super effective (that was just one Confusion)
The only damage taken in that fight was 3 HP from Bandao. @_@
Now for the rest of Nugget Bridge.
Phew, that was close.
Time to claim my prize for winning!

There's that mysterious 39 again
hey wait a minute
no one told me this was a recruitment drive >:|
I don't think anyone didn't expect this result
I grab TM 45 (Thunder Wave) and avoid the grass for now (as well as the Bug Catcher on the west side of the bridge. I don't think I'll do the Mew glitch, but just in case I'll leave him alone).
Lv21, why are you so bad to me >:| Bandao learns a move I must make sure to never use by accident, Selfdestruct.
While back for healings, I sell off the Nugget and don't buy more stuff. I think I'm well-off right now (9 potions, 7 PokéBalls).
I snag TM 14 (Seismic Toss).
...You know what, geodudes can learn it. It's not all that useful a technique, but it won't kill my Pokémon either.
I feel much safer now.
I halt Fanchi's evolution -- I'm going to wait until after he learns Whirlwind (a move that is normally useless but will probably be helpful in the way of nuzlocking).
Oh, well, that's not normal.
I help Bill the computer guy fix his.. problem. He gives me an item with a glitchy name. (It's the SS Ticket)
The cop moved!

eat poison, mofo

He ate poison, and it was good. Then I got 28. (TM 28, my love!)
...I need my experience more than I need a Mew. Let's leveling.

EH
>:| how will I catch this.

Answer: I won't. Thanks for failing, Sleep Powder >:|

wtf name!
![Battle: Wild [garbage]SPROUT appeared](https://p2.dreamwidth.org/eaab009eb46d/337815-2651/dimensionalarea.net/portal/pokemon/nuzlocke_bch/nuzlocke_BlueCHTrad_0157.png "Battle: Wild [garbage]SPROUT appeared")
that doesn't even make sense
And then one appeared that had the whole name -- at least until the RAM recaching took over...
oh god and then in my shock I accidentally attacked with Sandshrew (who I'm trying to level) fortunately the ensuing Vine Whip only took off half of her HP, not all of it
I'll insert this tidbit in between the endless grinding:
What.
Got a screencap of one of the fully-named bellsprouts
Fanchi evolved (into 皮奇特 / Pichite), and I can see all his attacks' names! =O
Although the top one is just the 'Chite' from his name...
Sandshrew learns the most overpowered move at this stage in the game, Slash! :D
Having bested the junior trainers, it's time to face Misty. Wish me luck.
First up: Staryu.
...Butterfree won that quite handily!
Okay, one left.
Poisonpowder \o/
Switched to Wartortle (my sole Water-resisting team member), observed Starmie perform a (totally useless, thanks glitches!) Focus Energy and some Tackles as poison chipped away at its HP.
Gotta heal. Enough Tail Whips, time for some Tackling action of my own!
That... was the easiest time I've ever had against Misty.
Butterfree is now my highest-level Pokémon.
So now I have TM 11 -- teaches Bubblebeam, the Cascade Badge, a bunch of money, and free rein to leave this town. Hell yeah!
The team thus far:
• Yi (Wartortle), Lv21
• Leideën (Nidorina), Lv20
• Fanchi (Pidgeotto), Lv20
• Sz (Butterfree), Lv22
• Bandao (Geodude), Lv21
• Lyou (Sandshrew), Lv20
I converted the nameless into numbers, and the numbers into Mandarin pronunciation (Yale romanization). So that's why everyone has nicknames suddenly!
