Ouch! Are you going to continue with boxed pokemon?
No, I decided to not use boxed pokemon during this run. What I'm going to do is acknowledge that I failed my nuzlocke, then evolve my Pupitar and go beat red so I can get the starters I need for my white pokedex.
Managed to get through Whitney without anyone fainting, though I expended a ton of potions keeping my slowpoke alive while it walled her Miltank (a couple of shots of curse did wonders for my defence, and Yawns kept Rollout from building to threatening power levels.
Have a pair of same gender pokemon lurking in the day-care levelling up- specifically my Oddish, Salad; and my Zubat, Vlad.

Well, it was a struggle even then, particularly since Inertia was vulnerable to Attract...
My team is now at Lv20-21 and I've added my Oddish (now a Gloom) into the main party (especially since I got a leaf stone via phonecall to evolve it with).
So... my laptop is being pretty Slowpoke right now, and since my phone can't record battles my challenge videos are going to be on hold until I can fix this.

Getting the Leaf Stone is quite a stroke of luck. Your team looks relatively balanced, too.

Thanks to araveugnitsuga for my current Poke-atar.
I know your pain. I'm actually missing very few pokemon, like less than you. XD Most of the ones I'm missing are ones that are irritating to get (I can't remember the name, looks like an easter island head), or unavailable to me with my current selection of games.

Yeah, it's just annoying at this point. I have Ruby, Platinum, Soul Silver, and White, so I can get all of them except Glameow/Purugly, Stunky/Skuntank, Deoxys, Kyogre, and Manaphy. The rest are just time-consuming.
Also, the easter island-head is Nosepass. He's only easily gotten in Platinum.

Unfortunately, I guessed that having brought Gengar in, Morty would take a turn to throw either Mean Look or Hypnosis at me, giving me a chance to get in a quick hit with Shadow Punch- instead, he came at me with Shadowball and took me out from full health in a single turn. Luckily Norvegicus was waiting in the wings. Bit of a shame that I'd taught Haunter Thunderbolt already...
Raticate can actually sweep Morty with little to no danger to itself, making it awesome for completing the game. SOLEY for that reason. Damn you, Morty, damn you.
I too lost someone through some dangerous switching against Morty and mourn your loss as well.

Yeah, my greatest fear with trying to sweep with Raticate was the Haunter with Hypnosis and Dreameater- and to a lesser extent everything with Curse...
I need the following pokemon:
Growlithe/Arcanine
Victreebel
Mew
Nosepass/Probopass (Former can be obtained in Sapphire; is a pain though)
Gorebyss (Theoretically obtainable in my White, but my white is underleveled crap)
Latias (Can be obtained in Sapphire, if I hadn't already blown my Masterball on... something, I don't even remember what)
Jirachi
Deoxys
Stunky/Skuntank
Spiritomb
Magmortar (Ugh... I've got Magmar, just need the item)
Dialga
Pokemon 489-492, which are, I believe, DusknoirDarkrai, Shaymin, Manaphy, and Phione.
Genesect
Keldeo Meloetta.

Fixed a couple of those for you- one with significant consequences...

You can just buy a bunch of Awakenings. It's cheap but effective. Everything with Curse except Gengar shouldn't be too much of a problem since Super-Effective Crunch should KO them all and Raticate is fast enough that he can outspeed them with maybe 1-2 levels on them.

Awakenings I had- mostly because I couldn't get hold of Chesto berries (as it was, none of Morty's ghosts managed to land Hypnosis and I don't believe any of them had the time to Curse... so much for me jumping at shadows)
So looking to get an early start on assembling a team for White 2 when it comes out in my Black version. Thus I was interested in getting some suggestions for making a well rounded team of pokemon. I was hoping to get one of those keys to activate hardmode from someone early on and play through that basically which is why I'm assembling the team now.
Essentially my criteria is that they're accessible out of Black version, unless someone wants to go through the trouble of arranging trades, and can either be bred or start at a relatively low level (like Keldeo). It should be noted that I haven't done anything in Dream World as I finished playing the game before they finally launched Dream World.
As of now I posses the following that I plan to use.
Oshawott (from Black)
Keldeo (might as well)
Any particular recommendations for filling this team out? I've also got Larvesta from the egg that you get for free though I might just go ahead and breed the Volcarona I already have instead. I've got Zorua and Riolu as well though I'd need to evolve them then breed to make them low level.

What is challenge mode exactly? I've been wondering that for awhile
As far as I know, they just bump up the levels of the opponent Pokemon by five or so and uses the most powerful in-game AI. Sadly, as far as Nuzlockers are concerned, it's only unlocked for post-game, so unless you can transfer a Challenge Key from a completed Black 2 over IR (not wi-fi) or have an AR, it'll be difficult. EDIT: Ah, apparently it also improves teams, movesets, and held items.
Really, if that's bad, it's even worse with White 2's Assist Mode, since you'd think that if someone needs the easy difficulty option, they won't be able to play through the whole game to unlock it, and once they've played through the whole game to unlock it, they won't need it anymore. Who knows what Nintendo was thinking...

Over IR only? So that means they have to be in the same room as me aye? Man that's going to make things trickier for me to acquire one...
