Game: Pokemon Flora Sky using the Emerald Randomizer!

I already started a run earlier today and got to the second gym, but I don't mind starting over since this part of the game is a piece of cake.

Rules:

Faint=Die=boxed in the "DEAD" box.
First Pokemon in each route/city/town/cave(depends if the cave has different signs in certain areas).
Must name all Pokemon.

First update will be in this post:

The interesting story that goes with the run:

God freaking damn it. Nadja didn't survive very long. Ariados is so so useless as a starter(I won't say it is in general because I never tried using it).
I don't know how my main character in the story is going to handle the loss of his first Pokemon, and I don't know how i'm going to handle the writing process of the whole situation(which I have yet to conceive).
Rough times ahead boys, rough times ahead...

I'mma make a new game and randomize the whole thing all over again.

Second chapter and update coming soon hopefully, when I'll figure out how to continue this thing.

Ooh, the nuzlocke challenge. I beat a nuzlocke on a randomized Emerald ROM a while back, I guess I'll post my results.

Winning Team:
- Cera the Venusaur (Lvl 60)
- Eve the Espeon (Lvl 60)
- Pagos the Blastoise (Lvl 60)
- Blisk the Salamence (Lvl 60)
- Wyverno the Charizard (Lvl 60)
- Terra the Tyranitar (Lvl 60)

The fallen:
- Liber the Breloom (Lvl 22), may he rest in peace.

I was very lucky to only lose a single pokemon, although emerald is the game I basically grew up with.

Started a Nuzlocke in the Full version of VoltWhite last night. More accurately, I started two Nuzlockes in VoltWhite last night, since the first one ended in what has to be at least tied for the shortest time ever. I wanted to randomize the starter choice, so I flipped three coins and took the odd one out as the starter. It was tails/heads/heads, so the starter was Snivy, who got fainted by Bianca's Oshawott in the very first fight. Total elapsed time - 1 minute.

So - I started another one.

Oh - by the bye - the official bits:

Username: Arlo
Game: VoltWhite Full

I use the basic rules, with a few specifications for my preferences and to accomodate VoltWhite. I don't count duplicates of current party members - if one comes up as the first in an area, it's as if it doesn't even exist. I run from it and go on, and I can still catch the first (non-duplicate) pokemon that comes up. I treat all separate areas - routes, caves, water, etc. - as distinct - rather than dividing it up by route, it's by area, or more accurately, by encounters. Wherever one set of pokemon appears is a distinct area. Every time the set that appears changes (other than simple evolution changes, like the change from Sandiles and Yamasks to Krokoroks and Cofagriguses in Relic Castle in the original games), that's a new area, and a new opportunity to catch something. And I don't have any limitations on potions or items or pokeballs or whatever.

So - the long story:

So, the challenge is completed. I really enjoyed it, but the amount of deaths caused by crits is incredibly frustrating. I'm disappointed that 14 Pokémon died on me over the course of the run, I was reckless at times and each death was a painful experience! I think that I will come again soon for a FR/LG run but I'll need to make sure I include the duplicate clause so I don't end up with like 100 Rattata haha, I'll try another challenge or two in between though, thanks.
