Am I done with the Nuzlocke run? Probably. I forgot just how much the post-game of B/W decides to bend you over its knee. There's a good 20 level jump between trainers on Victory Road and trainers in post-game areas, and while the quality of the mons themselves widely varies, it's pretty much an uphill battle wherever you go. Add in the fact that critical hits and general carelessness can happen at any time, and it's just not worth it. I saw the credits, that's good enough for me.
I find it ironic that the run ends with the "death" of the legendary 'mon meant to represent ideals.
Maybe I'll Pokesav up a team of Moody Bidoofs or Smeargles and try a gimmick run. I dunno. The advantage to flash carts over the actual cart is that I can actually start over without losing everything.

- WAKE UP IN THE MORNIN' FEELIN' LIKE P.CHAMPY. Except, uh, I never was the Champion, unlike in EVERY OTHER GAME. Fuhhh.
- HELLO, CREEPY INTERPOL GUY DRESSED LIKE MY MOM. I hear you're a real looker. :V
- BUT. THOU. MUST. Fuck you, Looker.
- SUPER ROD GET. Still, fuck you, Looker.
- Hi, ditz. Hi, douch--GODDAMN IT, DOUCHE. YOU LET THE VILLAIN GET AWAY. THIS IS WHY DOUCHE IS YOUR NEW NAME.
- Spontaneous NatDex! IT'S LIKE POKECHRISTMAS, BRING OUT THE DELIBIRDS.
- Coca-Cola and Ahiru become my new HM Slaves. I need them to go places! :B
- Hey, look. SUSPICIOUSLY OPEN NEW DREAMYARD AREA. Yeah, that's a motif, I guess. A "thing".
- FIRST TRAINER OF THE POSTGAME. He throws out... a L63 Drowzee. ffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuu- Yeah, this is going to be a predictable motif of postgame - suddenly, everyone has mons that would TOTALLY SWEEP the E4 at their levels. Except the E4, who all has level-pumped mon, too. It's like beating N suddenly injected ALL OF UNOVA with steroids.
- Thankfully, Pinchy is a wall, and doesn't care that everything is faster than him cuz that's how it was ANYWAY.
- Musharna even takes two hits! *monocle*
- Wobbuffet. I know it. it can END RUNS. Fuh. Too bad Wobbuffet translates to "setup turns".
- DEEEEDLEDLELDLEDLEWHOOOOOOOOOOP. AUGH Kricketunes.
- Swords Dance TM get! This would've been useful five hours ago. :I
- ...goddamn it. I forgot how fucking obnoxious Me First is.
- LOST iPants to Scientist's Stantler. L32-L53
- Yeah, I see you in there, Willow. 'If you'd taken me, this wouldn't've happened!' Yes, it would have. You're just as weak to your own STAB as iPants was.
- You know, I forgot Driftveil even had water in it. I was just here for Cold Storage. TIME FOR FISHINS.
- Caught L40 Chinchou @ Driftveil City! Nicknamed "Scylla"
- Sadly, I think that's the only town with water that I didn't get a mon from, and I've got all the Routes covered. Sigh.
- Hone Claws get. 2/6, for Sages.
- Double Team get. 3/6 Sages.
- God, I forgot how twisty and obnoxious Chargestone Cave was.
- GODDAMN DUST CLOUDS APPEARING RIGHT AT MY FEETS.
- Oh, look. This sage comes with fanboys. Bronius, hehe. BRONIES. :B
- Focus Punch won't save you when I've got an X-Scissor aimed at your face.
- Man, Pinchy is seriously stealing the show, postgame. He's already like 10 levels above anyone else in the team. Granted, two of my team are HM Slaves and one's an Egg, but STILL.
- FHSUHDVZBHFDHSDRF EXPLODING GARBAGE.
- ...holy shit, Derpfish SURVIVED that. With 22 HP, but STILL. ...wait, fuck. He's Poisoned. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
- LOST Derpfish to poison damage.
- .......FUCKING CRITICAL HITS.
- LOST Rerun to Team Plasma grunt's Liepard!
- Yeah, fuck this. I'm gonna gather up mon, gonna capture the rest of these Sage assholes, and chances are, I'm done. FUCK being champion if all I've got is a knightbug to kill everything. Maybe there'll be something on the half of Unova I HAVEN'T explored that'll change my mind, but... eh.
- Rock Polish was SO not worth it. 4/6 sages.
- (Pulled Idealism out of box. FUCK ALL Y'ALL, I HAVE A GODDRAGON.)
- oh hi, Juniper. Look, I don't really want to capture a Zen Moe Darmaitan, it's kinda against the rules, so... can we just... no? Eh. At least I got a second Rage Manju.
- oh for fuck's--NO. I HAVE A GOD DRAGON, FUCK YOU TEAM PLASMA GOONS.
- ...what. Fucking Goddragon, you were worthless.
- LOST Idealism to Team Plasma grunt's Krookodile!
- maze of twisty little passages, all alike
- Calm Mind get. 5/6 Sages.
- ...Would capturing this Volcarona be against the rules? Assuming so, I leave it be.
- FIRST STEPS INTO THE OTHER HALF OF UNOVA.
- Aw, what the hell. This is probably stupid, but I've heard about these things.
- PURCHASED L5 Magikarp at Marvelous Bridge! Nicknamed "Flim-flam"
- Oh, hello emo molestninjas. NO STOP HANDING ME YOUR BALLS. I CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH THESE. BADTOUCH, BADTOUCH!
- ...You know, Swanna resists both of Pinchy's STABs. Huh.
- Hey look, first ever Rotation Battle.
- Yeah, keep abusing Wide Guard while I set up Swords Dances. That's juuuus' fine. Hydro Pump, not so fine. Good thing handyfish is a terrible water pokemon.
- ....I am okay with this. *eyebrow*
- Caught L50 Pupitar on Route 15! Nicknamed "Behemoth"
- ...not so okay with this. :| YOU ATE LIKE TWENTY OF MY BALLS.
- Caught L5 Nidoran(F) in White Forest, nicknamed "Bertha"
- I didn't need that Jigglypuff anyway. Goddamn it, Pinchy.
- A note: Repels don't stop pokemon in White Forest from appearing. (I had to run back to the Pokecenter to swap out for Tank, for Waterfall purposes)
- Bulk Up get. 6/6 Sages found. Screw all y'all, I'm goin' to bed. I stopped Team Plasma, saved Unova and maybe the world. Maybe I'll give up Training. S'a dangerous profession.
