Sounds like my track record with nuzlockes on occasion.

"Oh boy XD I'm getting everything set up now. What's the stopping point for each 'episode'? The gym?"

Not sure, because we never actually decided on a game yet :P

"Welp, I was thinking I played Black and you played White, but do you have any suggestions?"

Actually, that could work, but now I have to go get a White rom and randomize it.  I'm going to sleep soon, though, so I won't be able to start the run until tomorrow.

"That's no problem ^_^ I could send you a link to where I found my Black ROM"

Alright, I got it...so how shall we randomize this one?  I was thinking something along these lines.

I had a White 2 rom on my desktop, so I used it as a reference.

Make evos easier for trade mons and other annoying things, random starters and abilities for the laughs.

Can't have a randomizer without random moves.  The random trainer names and classes are for laughs too.

Random wild encounters because...of course.

Yes.

Also yes.

Excellent.  Now, one last thing.

Ladies and gentlemen, Pokemon fans of all ages, welcome, one and all to EcchiDreams First Annual Black and White Randomizer Showdown!  In the Black corner, we have the official EcchiDreams Greeter, ShuyaHideaki!  And in the White corner, we have EcchiDreams' resident Love Live fan and general introvert who likes story driven RPs even though it's hardly the norm on a site like this, NyxAvatar69.  Starting on this fine Saturday at about 3 AM EST, they shall be battling it out to see who has what it takes to survive the randomized madness of the Unova region with the fewest deaths to prove their skills and abilities to think on the spot against whatever the game will throw their way.  Standard Nuzlocke rules will apply here, folks, and each side may only go up to the end of a gym before they wait for their opponent before pressing on.  The end goal is to defeat Ghetsis at the end of the run because postgame is a pain in the ass in Black and White 1.  Contestants, keep the trash talking clean.  The only violence we want to see here is in-game cartoon violence between Pokemon.  Now, without further delay, let the games begin!

Please keep track of encounters and deaths for the final tally at the end of the challenge.  Thank you and have a fantastic day.

Do your Rubesty.  You've got a chance to prove you're good at leveling up your mons as you make your way to the first gym.  I won't be starting until tomorrow, and when I do, I'll have quite a few screenshots to throw in my summary.

[Kalvoras Vertal Banned]

"Yeah, I think that I'll wait for you. I played a little bit already, but I saved and shut it off right as I got to the part where you actually get to move your character to the box on the table ^_^"

[NyxAvatar69]

Oh boy, and the worst part is I have no idea what my starter choices are.  I could get destroyed early on because of what I end up getting early on and then you end up with a free win...but we'll see.

I'm honestly just hoping for good encounters and a decent N battle.  It's a bit scary when you have no idea what intimidating things will come for you, but it's part of the fun.

There's a (rare) chance that it could end up replacing some other legendary.  Plus, you get a free static legendary before final N, but what it is...well, there's only one way to find out.

[Kalvoras Vertal Banned]

"Static encounters are ones that are given to you without choice by the game itself, right? Basically a forced encounter?"
