ok well here we go

Leaf Green Nuzlocke challenge

  • Any Pokémon that faints is considered dead, and must be released (or boxed, never to see the light of day again).
  • You may only catch the first Pokémon encountered in each area, and none else. If the first Pokémon encountered faints or flees, there are no second chances. (Can be adjusted to ban duplicate captures.)
  • Trading is disallowed, but the reasons following this clause are allowed. Egg trading is okay, same thing with Pokemon that can't have eggs. (optional) Trading simply for the purpose of evolution is perfectly fine.

  • A black out/white is a "game over," even if there are Pokémon left in the PC.
  • You must change the battle style to SET.
  • You may not heal outside the use of Pokémon Centers
  • You may only use PokéBalls.
  • You must kill all legendary Pokémon.
  • You can only use pokemon centers after defeating the towns gym( towns without gyms are exempt)
  • no Items(besides pokeballs obviously)
  • You can only buy 10 pokeballs per mart & can only visit a mart once
This will be extremely hard but i look forward to it

I had to get my computer fixed, so every file on it was deleted, the only ROMs and saves I have now are on my AK2i, I was mad because I spent forever getting that level 15 Extremespeed Dratini to level 55 before the E4.
Oh well, I'll try(again) on Platinum, I don't have to worry about anything deleting on that because my girlfriend has her own AK2i, and I'm a very organized person. :)

Sorry for a long post, anyways, it's 1:20AM where I'm at, and I can't sleep, so I'll play for a while and listen to BTBAM.
--------------------
Main Rules
1. If I fail to catch a Pokemon, too bad.
2. If a Pokemon faints, it's dead.

Optional Rules
1. Cannot catch legendary Pokemon, I'll kill 'em instead.
2. I'll count North/South/East/West parts of a Route separate(like Route 204, North/South). Floors still count as one area like inside of Mt. Coronet, but outside will count as different(the snowy part before getting to the top).
--------------------

I'll update later.

- After beating N, I went to Route 2 where I was going to get a Lillipup until Walter Did A Critical hit on him.

- Gained a Pansear (Lucian) and Used Him to defeat Chili though he was getting out rom his nap so it was still a alright battle.

- In the Dreamyard, I met a Audino That was a little spicy yet quiet at times Which is why I call him Diego (Level 9)

- Walter Evolved between this time.

- Cheren Killed Diego with his Snivy. He was Level 12

- In The Cave , I met a Male Woobat that was just as feisty as Diego, So I named him Salvador (Lvl 11)

I've never done a nuzlocke before, but my bf says they can be really fun, so I'm going to try on Black, he also told me that it will be harder on BW because of the new exp formula.
Since this is my first nuzlocke, I'll only use the two main rules. I hope I can get through this without a game over.

I might update later, if not, then definitely tomorrow. I'm starting with Snivy.

I feel like posting this here might help keep me motivated in doing this.

Username: Eeveon
Game: HeartGold

Optional Rules:
• You must nickname all of your Pokemon.
• A black out/white is a "game over," even if there are Pokémon left in the PC.
• You may not use/catch legendary Pokémon.​

Um, question! Do G/S/C/HG/SS nuzlockes count as completed when you defeat Red, or can I just go as far as defeating the Pokémon League? This game is going to make me go crazy! Training off of wild Pokémon sucks, because of their small level ranges. :(
