1:15 third gym Whitney (took a few tries because of incredible luck on her side)

2:02 fifth gym Chuck (managed to defeat my only problem Poliwhirl with Attract, no reset)
2:10 sixth gym Jasmine (2 resets because I couldn't attack because of paralyze)
2:44 seventh gym Pryce (no reset)
3:40 eight gym Clair (used Gyrados to take out her Gyrados with Thunder, the rest was easy) no reset from now on (got revives)
4:40 Lance (except of the fourth member everything went good, had to revive my Feraligatr and Lugia instead of just healing them, Gyrados lvl30 defeated Gyrados lvl 46 with Thunder )
4:51 ninth gym Sabrina (Alakazam defeated Feraligatr, but didn''t take much more time even with revive)
4:59 tenth gym Erika ( Lugua/Feraligatr together made it easy, but had to give up a few Pokes to heal)
5:06 eleventh gym Janine (fought with Feraligatr, Lugia, and Zubat, switched Zubat in to cure confusion/lower defense by Crobat. Lugia used for Ariados, I teached Feraligatr Earthquake instead of Crunch and didn't even use it -.-' Will make Misty a lot slower)
5:26 twelfth gym Misty ( Starmie took sooo long without crunch and 2 Full Restores just for it...)
about 5:36 remembered to note the time too late... thirteenth gym Brock (Everything but Omastar down in 1-2 hits)
5:46 fourteenth gym Blaine (All one hits, only Rapidash avoided one Waterfall with Bounce)
5:51 fifteenth gym Lt. Surge (no Pokecenter since befor Sabrina All one hits with Earthquake, but had to switch out to heal, because 1 Electrode attacked me with its turn)
6:02 sixteenth gym Blue ( Used Lugia to take out Exeggutor with 2 hits. Rhydon was a one hit with Feraligatr. Arcanine flinched and was a 2 hit. 2 waterfalls and 1 Ice Fang for Pidgeot. Lost Lugia to Machamp, but then 2 hitted it with Feraligatr. Would have been under 6:00 if I found a way to get Gyrados to point where I can defeat it with one hit, but it doesn't get healed. Had to defeat it 4 times, and had to use Attract to stop it from using Dragon Dance and then defeating me.)

I had Feraligatr with Surf/Waterfall, Attract, Crunch/Earthquake, Ice Fang
I had Lugia with the same set as when I catched it
I had the Red Gyrados as Strength, Surf, Whirlpool slave and with Thunder

Beat the league at 4:40 and bet Blue at 6:02

FIRST AND FINAL B2SSMNv2 UPDATE

Spoiler

I did everything I did last time minus dying to Hugh's Samurott. I then made my way to Drayden. I used 3 Work Ups (probably overkill but you can never be too careful in a combined nuzlocke) and swept his team with Return (I actually love this move. It's amazing. Especially with STAB). Then I beat Marlon using mostly Return despite Seed Bomb being super-effective.
I beat Team Plasma twice in a row really easily. I 2HKOed Kyurem-B and destroyed Ghetsis (I was expecting this battle to be difficult. It wasn't).
I got through Victory Road easily, battling only the trainers that were necessary due to me being almost level 80.

I was level 79 when I started against the E4.
I beat Caitlin first as I knew she would be the easiest.
Shauntal was next. I didn't really enjoy having to use Odor Sleuth against (almost) all of her pokemon, but I did it and beat her.
I battled Grimsley next. Nothing special happened in this battle. I just used 1 Hone Claws and OHKOed or 2HKOed everyone.
Marshal was the most difficult. I was afraind of his Sawk (Sturdy) and Conkeldurr (very bulky). Sawk used Payback (which did hardly anything) and I beat it easily atter that. Return only did 50% to Conkeldurr and he used Bulk Up. Luck was on my side as Return was a critical the second time, which KOed Conkeldurr. The rest of the battle was easy.

Against Iris I used 2 Hone Claws and OHKOed everything except Haxorus. I brought it down to its Focus Sash and it used Dragin Dance. As Iris healed it, I KOed it.

Nicely done bro, the Combined Nuzlocke Hall of Fame welcomes ya. :thumbsup: Better yet, ya've earned a battle scar in the process t' show your determination.

 

[lucktown]

Congrats, glad you made it I want to do a combined Nuzlocke after I'm done with the Gligar Solo run, but not sure yet which one I'll take

 

[Splash_King]

My personal recommendation would be No Item if you've done any sort'a Nuzlocke before. If ya haven't, then I'd go for a Combined Nuzlocke not comprised of either No Item or Singles, as those are mighty unforgivin' when it comes to even the smallest mistakes.

 

[bou0010]

I'm going to to do a monotype on Black 2 now. I want someone else to choose what type though

 

[Splash_King]

Fighting.

 

[bou0010]

Fighting monotype on Black 2 it is. Skyla and Caitlin could be annoying

I'll be using:
- Emboar
- Gallade
- Scrafty
- Toxicroak
- Virizion

I'll be getting the eggs myself

Beat the league at 4:40 and bet Blue at 6:02

Not bad. That seems like a pretty good time. It was faster than my B2 run (6:24) and you had to get an extra 8 badges. It's also easily the best GSC/HGSS speedrun in this thread

 

[lucktown]

Thanks The other ones are Gold/Silver, so I think there is something in there that makes it longer (no running shoes?)

 

[bou0010]

Actually GSC is faster. The wr for Crystal is 3:24 and the wr for HG is 4:13. I don't know about the other ones though

 

[lucktown]

I already did most of my challenges on Soul Silver and to make it a little bit more interesting for me I change the game this time. I already have a file on my Black 2, and I don't have any gba games here So I will have my next and probably hardest challenge on Diamond. I will make a Combined Nuzlocke challenge with Ground Pokemon (randomly asked my friend for a type, but this should be a hard one) and no items.
Btw, when I encounter a Pokemon, that I already have, does it count as my first encounter on this route/cave? It isn't like that in the normal Nuzlocke, but is it the same in the combined one?

 

[Splash_King]

The "duplicate" rule as it's commonly known is optional in any form'a Nuzlocke... and I'd strongly recommend ya use it. It doesn't necessarily make a Nuzlocke easier, but moar fun IMO. Makes it possible t' get rare Pokes in a Monotype, and also makes each individual Poke more unique since ya can only catch one of 'em.

 

[lucktown]

Good
Is that speed run of mine ok or should I do that again without any resets?

 

[Splash_King]

speed run? wat

 

[lucktown]

I announced and edited it all in one post over 2 days
