Username: Ravio
Game: X
Optional Rules: Blackout = challenge failure, must nickname all, battle style set, only pokeballs

Update number 1: Started off the game, and went to get that event torchic. Woo, can't wait to meet it at Santalune town! Picked the nickname Tom because I'm lame, and also other nicknames get annoying :( Started off with a Froakie named Gaius! I decided to wait to catch mons until Selena gave me pokeballs, because there's some glitch where you automatically encounter a pidgey two steps into grass on route 2. It's weird. Anyway, I got a zigzagoon on route 2 named Ziggy, and then in the forest got a Pansear who I named Fluff.
On the next route I picked up a Pikachu and named her Pepper, and once in Santalune I finally got my torchic! WHO I THEN REALIZED I COULDN'T NAME. And now can't use since nicknames are a must in the rules I picked. GAH. On route 22 I got a super rad bidoof who I named Ezekial. And then we went on to beat Viola with zero deaths. Yay! Then I ran ahead to get my mon from route 4... Ledyba. This challenge in the kalos region is very anti-kalos pokemon haha

I think I'll add 2 other optional rules: Only use Poké Balls and not catching duplicates
Anyway, here's my progress report:

-Started with Piplup (male), who I named Cobalt. Rival spammed Withdraw with Turtwig, but I made it.
-Route 202 catch: Bidoof (male), named Pat.
-Battled Rival again, who spammed Withdraw AGAIN, but I made it without any losses. Route 203 catch: Starly (female), named Jolene.
-Oreburgh Gate catch: Psyduck (female), named Bridgette. I barely made it through the cave, everyone was in the red.
-Route 207 catch: Geodude (male), named Grant.
-I didn't catch anything in Oreburgh Mine, the first Pokémon was a duplicate. I grinded afterwards.
-Beat Roark, Coal Badge get! But Bridgette didn't make it. She died due to a critical hit from Cranidos.

Well, this is going better than I expected. I may post another update later.

Okay, I got another update:

-Floaroma Meadow catch: Burmy (female), named Ellen. (I AM allowed to catch Pokémon in Honey Trees...Right?)
-Cobalt evolved
-Route 205 catch: Budew (female) named Scarlet. (I didn't realize I wasn't in Valley Windworks anymore until I checked the map)
-Eterna Forest catch: None. I didn't know what to do in double wild battles, but I just thought that you could catch any of the first pair. It was a Gastly and a Wurmple. I wanted the Gastly, but it used Curse twice, causing it to faint, and Cheryl beat the Wurmple...
-Beat Gardenia without any losses
-Ellen evolved
-Beat Jupiter, BUT I lost Grant

Ugh! I didn't realize that you could still switch-out Pokemon when you are on SET mode!

So many Pokemon got killed for my mistake :(

Update #7

Rule changes:
1) Decided to allow myself to heal between battles. It's really not worth real-life time to run back to the Pokemon Center.
2) Going to recap my adventures, but I won't do it as if my character were telling a story. Not because I don't think people read it, but I'm going too fast on the challenge to keep it up :)

Route 14:

Aurora evolved after a battle with Calem. Was actually able to take on all of the Pokemon on Route 14 with Aurora, even though I was afraid of the Ground-type attacks that Quagsire would be using (just ran away from them for the time being after I realized fighting them would be a war of attrition). My first Pokemon encountered is a Stunfisk that I named Fiona (after a long, very weird, train-of-thought led me to think of Fiona Apple; a singer). I might end up using it, since I don't have another Electric-type (especially since it can Surf!), but she's in the bank for now.

I didn't have a good advantage against the Laverre City gym, so I pulled Blossom out of the bank and grinded some levels on her. Terry ended up throwing himself in front of a Miltank that was out of control (I went back to Route 12 to start gaining levels) and bit the dust. I wasn't planning on using him anyways, so no loss (I was using him to travel since I didn't want Quacklin' gaining any more levels). Once she was level 25-26, I came back and took my revenge on the Quagsire for some excellent XP. I brought along some banked Pokemon to soak up XP as well.

Took on the gym when Blossom was level 40 and she carried me through most of the trainers. I switched into Beatty when I was facing a Klefki, and just stayed in and did a Swords Dance to take out that trainer's last Pokemon.

Used Punchy to take out the gym leader's Mawile with two Bone Rush attacks and a Aura Sphere. Dropped Mr. Mime with one Shadow Claw. Got Sylveon close to dead a few times, but had to switch when she dropped Punchy to 4 HP (I was lucky it wasn't a crit... took a chance to stay in on her). I switched into Thumper and missed four Iron Tail attacks in a row. Had to use one Super Potion and finally connected with an Iron Tail to one-shot Sylveon.

Overall a good gym run. I'm glad I took the time to level up my Oddish. Gloom was really doing some work! Venoshock + Toxic is just brutal against the Fairy-type :)

So long story short, I lost. Route 6 is surprisingly full of pain. I was trying to train up the espurr I had just caught, and so I was facing trainers. One had a volbeat, who was annoying as all hell with double team, moonlight, and confuse ray spam. I had to use a bunch of potions but everything was fine. Then on the other side of route 6, there was a double battle. I figured I would skip it, so Lux (espurr) wouldn't have to switch out if things got gnarly, so I went on and fought other trainers. Then I went back and it was a double battle... with furfrous. And when I thought I had whittled one down, they used a super potion, and then continued headbutting my entire team to death. :(

SO rest in peace Gaius the frogadier, Lux the espurr, Pedro the gogoat, Ziggy the zigzagoon and Ezekial the bidoof I never used.

I may start up another x nuzlocke, but we'll see.

Update #8

Laverre City:

Took out the Team Flare goons at the Pokeball factory. Got quite a few levels on my main Pokemon.

Route 15:

Caught a Skorupi and named it Elektra. Tried Swords Dance buffing to get some levels on her, then I realized what I thought her Attack score was actually her Defense score. Took off her attacks, equipped Eviolite, and taught her Infestation/Toxic/Protect/Cut (needed a cutter since Quacklin' was banked). Was doing very well until I ran into a trainer with Duosion. I was crushing it until it attacked with a Psyshock... which took me from full to dead, and it wasn't even critical hit! I could have sworn that Poison/Bug would be neutral against Psychic attacks. I was really looking forward to having a Drapion tank too :(

Fought all of the trainers in the Lost Hotel and caught a Electrode... bleh. Named it Honey (an abstraction of Cojones). Jolly nature and will likely never get used. Hmmmm, maybe I can have it use Self-Destruct! :)

Route 16:

Blossom finally hit level 47 and learned Giga Drain. I used a Leaf Stone on her to evolve her into Vileplume. I was thinking a Bellosom would fit her name more, but I need a good Poison-type on the team.

Cleared this route out before going to the next town. I didn't realize it was a new route (I think I was looking away briefly when the area transition sign popped up), so I wasn't paying attention to what the first Pokemon I encountered was. After I cleared the map of trainers, I went to town to heal and came back. My first encounter was Pumpkaboo, so I caught her. Named her Lil' Boo. Might level her on Wingull hordes when I play next.

I am really hoping to find a Fire-type Pokemon soon, or at least one that can learn some Fire attacks.

Since my ds roms seem to be freezing a lot I will do a nuzlocke on Ruby while I am working on fixing those roms. Rules will still be the same - Have to nickname everything and dupes clause and shiny clause are on. I am not going to be adding the SET mode because last time I did it it was horrible. So I will post my first update as soon as I start playing which should be in few seconds.

One badge down- 7 more to go.

Anyways - I got all the beginning stuff done and got my starter- Treecko I named Ninja. Than I got some levels on him - and succesfully battled and defeated my rival. Got back to lab and first encounter on first route was zigzagoon - caught her and named her Lina. Proceeded onto the next route where I caught Ed the Poochyena and I got seedot I named Pinoccio (That thingie was awfuly hard to train >_< ) - Helped Wally - I was hoping for Tailow on the next route since I didn't get Peliper (For Brawly) - but I got wurmple - I caught her and named her Leia. She evolved into Cascoon just so she could die against a zigzagoon that used tackle on her and got crit on her >_> There goes my chance against Brawly D:

Caught Shroomish in the forest and named him Loomie. Got to Rustbro and caught Nincada I named Elena and Whismur I named J (Hit B button too fast D: )

Did some training and my Pinoccio evolved after about forever (And is still useless for now). Roxanne was a breeze with Loomie and Ninja on my team. She didn't even stand a chance against absorb.

For White/Black, should I still fight Alder to finish the challenge? Or Ghetsis is enough?

Anyway, I would like to register my Emerald Nuzlocke that I've been playing these past few days:
