Pokérus Labs
A Pokémon ARPG that accepts art and writing both ^-^
Reffed Pokémon I have that are okay to be requested for a trade offer, art, or PD
Designs I own but am working on names for so I can submit them ^^’
Viable nuzlocke time! Here are the rules for the Virulent Nuzlocke challenge, which I am starting with Moon Out Of Phase, my new Doduo
Challenge Rules:
1) You can use either something already in your inventory or a new Pokémon obtained specifically for the challenge like I am. The only rule is that they can only have the levels from their reference drawing. Feel free to have more than one Pokémon running the challenge too!
2) The Pokémon can only gain levels through battling. No playing it safe and avoiding fights. If they lose they die!
3) If the Pokémon dies, add delta ghost to it and draw its new ref. This is required for it to be able to battle again
4) If the Pokémon dies more, slap on another trait. You can choose or it can be completely random. For every trait added the Pokémon needs a new drawn ref - and the trait has to be visible! No melanistic/albinism and the like unless chimera is involved
5) If the Pokémon hits the max number of traits and dies again, remove one and draw yet another new ref. This choice MUST be randomized, and the delta ghost from dying the first time cannot be removed. That trait is permanent
6) If it dies again, remove another trait and redraw the ref. Repeat this step until only delta ghost and one other trait remains, and if it dies again after that go back to step four. Delta ghost cannot be removed, and the Pokémon cannot only have delta ghost. There must be at least one other trait with it
7) Its recommended but not required that your Pokémon is evolved when the requirements are met. Feel free to run through the whole thing with a lethal Wynaut if so desired
8) You win by successfully getting the Pokémon to level 100
I’d recommend picking something either easy to draw (such as my birb) or a Pokémon you’d really enjoy drawing and messing with. Since the battle system works a lot on RNG and you can’t really strategize like you would a normal nuzlocke, you’re going to be drawing this Pokémon a lot
You can also use your challenge Pokémon for breeding, they don’t gain levels for that and the resulting mishmash of offspring depending on the current slew of traits can be hilarious
Challenge Rules by BeelYourself:
-You can only choose one of your starters (using a new only reffed Pokémon in my case).
-Aside from the initial reference and any subsequent evolutions, you can only earn levels through exploring/battling your mons.
-You can only use items you find in Explore.
-You can only use Pokémon you find in Explore.
-Each explore zone is levelled. You need to earn 10 levels to advance to the next zone (listed in order)
You win when you get at least one Pokémon from each zone + your starter to level 100. I think. There’s no win condition listed so I made my own.
Optional:
-Limit it to 3 Pokémon/1 Pokémon from each zone. No rerolls, the first you encounter. ✅
- You can only have 6 Pokémon at a time. If a pokemon is defeated, they are lost. ❌
Idea explanation: You are a survival expert. You find the new innovation of pokécentres, stores, etc to be hindering the bond between people and nature...so, you refuse to step foot into any town and instead go into nature on a journey of your own away from civilization! Who needs all this fancy new tech when you share strong bonds with your Pokémon?
