So I attempted a Nuzlocke in Pokémon Red Version. Failed after Brock in Mt. Moon. My team fell to one of the Team Rocket's Grunt's lv 16 raticate.

I skipped gen IV for various reasons and decided to start another one.
This time with Platinum version. So far only four pokemon I've caught died.

OP has been updated, finally. I haven't really been posting/playing because my husband passed away at the beginning of October, and y'know, grief and stuff got in the way.
As soon as I know the answer to my question I will let you know what version of Kanto I am doing and update regularly. Thank you! :15:
Sorry for the extremely late reply. But yes, enhanced hacks are allowed, such as Blaze Black, etc., I'm not sure about Liquid Crystal, but if it's the generally the same story as the gen 2 games then it's good.
Due to my 3DS being stolen, I cannot continue my Pokemon Yellow nuzlocke. Could @volga take me off the solo challenger list?
Same as above, sorry for the very late reply. But I'm sorry to hear that. :(
 
Once upon a time, there was a certain stizh who liked to do challenges on PokeCommunity. He was pretty bad at video games, and somehow managed to win a nuzlocke with Persona themed mons. However, what this stizh failed to realize was that Persona 2 was a duology, and instead of moving straight to the second half of the show, he ended up being busy with work and making videos and generally just slacking off. But now this certain stizh has returned, ready to finish the fight against Ghetsis and Messiah's former goons, now made into Nyarlethotep's Goons. Let us begin the second half of our tale...and let's watch this stizh suffer even more than he did the first time, because we all know we like watching people lose valuable team members in nuzlockes.

Username: BlissyMKW
Version: White 2
Single/Ultimate?: Single

Same rule applies as last time. All team members must be named after something from the Persona games. Characters, skills, Personas, it doesn't matter. However, I am banned from using names from my previous final squad. If I forget and use the names Reiji, Masao, Bufudyne, Pulinpa, Kohyru, or Aqua, I am subject to immediate failure of the locke, because just killing off my best team member is too lenient if I'm too stupid to actually use the same name twice.

Sorry for the extremely late reply. But yes, enhanced hacks are allowed, such as Blaze Black, etc., I'm not sure about Liquid Crystal, but if it's the generally the same story as the gen 2 games then it's good.

Liquid Crystal is, for the most part, the same. However, as far as I've seen, there are new things added to the story, like new rivals, another evil team, and a couple of other things.

I've decided that with everything I have going on, I can't do this challenge anymore.
 
So is there a verdict on whether Munchlax is usable in the Nuzlocke?

The event Munchlax?

I guess so, since it's level 5 and has no huge advantages over other Pokemon, I don't see why not. :)

Quick update on my Pearl Nuzlocke; not too much has happened since the last update but I think it'll pick up since I finished Moon a few days ago.

- Journeyed all the way to Hearthome City after clearing trainers on Route 206 and 207. Left Wayward Cave alone for now; hoping for a Gible later
- Defeated my rival in Hearthome City; it wasn't too much of a challenge (probably since his Starly hadn't evolved yet)
- Given an egg in Hearthome City, stashed it in the box for now
- Cleared Route 209, 210, Solaceon Ruins, and most of Route 215. Regrettably, I KO'ed Bibarel on Route 209 and had to run from a Kadabra on 215 (so strong!). However, I caught an Unown F and Ponyta for the box, perhaps for use later.
- Geodude evolved to Graveler! I'll be trading to evolve it over the next couple of days. Woot!

Team (all at lv. 25): Meditite, Graveler, Staravia, Grotle, Luxio; Bidoof HM slave

UPDATE: RIP Luxio! He fell to the double battle team of Gyarados and Glameow (...) at the end of Route 215. First casualty of the challenge... Now I don't have a good electric type for Crasher Wake. Picked Gastly from the box and started training it up - it'll be able to learn Thunderbolt and should be of great help in the Veilstone Gym as well due to its typing.

So I started a blog to track my journey through the games beyond Gen I, and since I'm playing each game as a Nuzlocke/Gymlocke I might as well throw my name into this too.

However, I have a question with labeling as a Single vs. Ultimate. I am playing on emulators, so I can only play up through Gen V. This isn't all the available games/regions, but it's what's playable for me since I don't own any type of DS... So it doesn't truly fit the Ultimate description, but it's more than a Single...

Username: JaDe.X105
Version: Currently Crystal, but Emerald, Platinum, B/W, and B2/W2 will follow
