[Citrus Knight]

Sign me up for the Sapphire version Nuzlocke, just started it a couple days ago, I'll make an edit with some of my basic progress when I get home from school.

Totally forgot to edit this, but I should before I forget what I did.

Started off with Mudkip
Battled my 'rival' and won
Went to the lab to official receive Mudkip, nicknaming it Reese
Ran around in route 102, 103, and 104 and caught a Poochyena, Zigzagoon, and Wurmple. Nicknamed Tetris, Lexi, and Doxxie.
Did a bunch of grinding before moving into Petalburg Forest.
Caught another Zigazagoon and nicknamed it Zextri.
Lost Poochyena to a critical hit from the first Pokemon, a Zigzagoon, that I ran into right outside the forest once I exit.
Caught a Whismur on the route to the left of the city, also caught another Zigzagoon and named it Tard D:< I kept both Zextri and Tard in the box.
Grinded a whole bunch before challenging Roxanne, Wurmple evolved twice and is now a Dustox.
Probably should have grinded more because I almost lost against Roxanne, but I did win without losing anybody and successfully got my badge.
Went through the whole getting my pokegear process and that's where I'm at right now.
Withdrew Tard and tried to grind a little bit, but forgot that poison actually kills a pokemon outside of battle, so I lost Tard.
Now I'm about to go to that one city that you have to go to by boat, pulling a blank on the name right now.

Chapter 4 - a Journey Incomplete

Well, I stormed Gardenia knowing full-well all my pokemon were weak to her type. I'll spare the details- the gory, gory details - but my League conquest ended with her. This is my official restart of Pokemon Pearl Nuzlocke Challenge.

 

[Sapeiro]

Gym Challenge!
Neptune was eager to prove himself worthy of the team, now that he had found strength, and damn he did. Chomping Misty's Staryu in one hit, and her Starmie in two.
Without anything to, we headed to Vermillion City, beating a Rocket Grunt on the way and recovering the TM for Dig. Route 5 proved unsuccessful to get new friends, as the Mankey we encountered was brought down by a lucky hit from Boeing. But Route 6 was where we found him, a Mankey joined the team under the pseudonym of 'Chops'.
Nothing to do on Vermillion City yet. We got ourselves an Old Rod, and a Bike Voucher, which we immediately exchanged for a brand new Bicycle, at Cerulean City.
Back again at Vermillion City, we went to Diglett's cave, catching a Diglett (what are the odds? :O), and naming it Innuendo, and then to Route 11 in which we found a Drowzee, named OMG...
On S.S. Anne, we found our rival, and kicked his ass again. Everyone of the team getting his shot at Blue's pokémon. I think Boeing went a little too far when battling Blue's Raticate. I guess he was still hurt from Spark's loss, but I don't think being that aggressive was justified. Last time I saw, Blue was running to the Pokémon Center, with Raticate on his arms, bleeding profusely.
When getting out of the boat, I found this rare item. I asked around, and they told me that, when taught to a pokémon, it could cut small bushes. I recalled that Vermillion City's gym had a bush blocking it's entrance, and smiled... You're next.

The gym was something I had never seen before, full of traps and secret switches. We fought our way through the trainers, and figured out the secret code. Everyone coincided that Lt. Surge was ferocious. I will admit, I was a little scared myself for everyone's safety, and almost quit, but their reassuring faces gave me the strength I needed to challenge the 'Lightning American'.
Still a little unsure, I opened the fight with my strongest friend, Volvagia. He made short work of Surge's Voltorb and Pikachu, but Raichu's paralysis was too much, and I wasn't so sure about risking one of my best friend's life for a badge. Luckily, Psyfox was ready to take the attack, and land the finishing blow on the Raichu; earning us the Thunderbadge.

I have never been more proud of my team in my entire life.

Cort's Nuzlocke Challenge - Prolougue and Part One: Road to Roark (again)

Spoiler:

++Prolougue​

After losing her prized Pokemon to Gardenia, Cort was wrought with grief. She sat in her room with her slowly vegetating mother and cried.
Professor Oak and Dick did what they could to ease Cort's suffering, but the grief of all the blood, the terrible blood, was too much to control. (Not to mention she was PMSing).

(Sorry, ladies. I just... had to, you know?)

Months later, Professor Rowan became obsessed with a new project, something that was unprecedented for professors in his age: work that had nothing to do with Pokemon. Not even a little genetic engineering.
Looking for a thrill to add to her life (She'd already slept with Brendan and Red) Cort broke into Rowan's lab. She found Professor Rowan sleeping, on the floor, beside a huge device that had seemingly been fused with all the power supply in the lab.

The device was a time machine. She could see that instantly. This was her chance. Hoped bloomed where previously had only been despair. Cort typed in a few buttons and went back in time, months ago to when she'd found her first Pokemon.

This time, things would be different. She was smarter. Stronger. More fire in her soul. So, she took her Piplup, which she named Virgo, and began to challenge the league again.

++ Part One: Road to Roark: Again ++​

+ Nearly made it through Route 201 without seeing anything. Then. A Bidoof. OMFG.

+ Apparently Lucas and I are 'Comrades working towards the same goal'. I'm pretty sure he just wants in my pants.

+ My rival, who is now named 'Child', ran away from home without alerting his mom. So, she gave me a package to give to Child.

+ No, Lucas. Shut the hell up. I know how to catch Pokemon.

+ First encounter on route 202: Bidoof. I catch him and name him Doofy.

+ Virgo won our first Trainer battle by a very narrow margin.

+ Doofy got hit by a critical Tackle. He died. Neither Virgo or I are very sad, but the early tragedy is disheartening. It reminds me of the first time I tried this conquest.

+ Virgo and I arrived in Jubilife City and gave Child his package. He gave me an extra town map.

+ Brutally attacked two of the student trainers in the school. I also stole their TM.

+ Got a Poketch. Whoop-de-fricking-do.

+ Found a Kricketot on route 204. I caught her and named her Tuney.

+ Looked online. Kricketunes suck major titties. Box.

+ Child fought me in a friendly battle (where he wanted to kill my Pokemon) so I destroyed him with Virgo.

+ Found a Shinx on Route 205 but accidentally KO'd it.

+ Got a Rock Smash TM.

+ Found a Geodude at Oreburgh Gate and named it Scorpio in homage to my old Geodude.

+ Caught a second Geodude at Oreburgh Mine. Named him Scorpio II.

+ Found a Machop at Route 207 and named him Aries.

+ Scorpio II died to a painful critical hit by an Onix. Another death, so soon.

+ Virgo evolved, also while in Oreburgh Mine.

+ A little more training, and we'll be ready to fight Roark again. We won't lose any to him this time. He won't get the satisfaction.

[PaxAmericana]

gonna do a HG nuzlocke challenge

UPDATE will be posted tommorrow

i WON't do it right now, i thought that through

 

[Kanto_Johto]

Okay, update time.

2nd update

Spoiler:

So naturally, I headed to Viridian Gym, to earn my first badge!

FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Since the Gym was closed, I headed straight for Viridian forest.

New Pokemon time.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

I absolutely knew that would happen. A Weedle would have been fine. But no, I'm stuck with a defenseless derp.

3 Pokeballs that took.

There has never been a more appropriate nickname.

After this capture and a small amount of grinding, I headed out onto Route 22 again to get some experience from Douche.

You're going down, my friend.

......God Dammit.

Nidoran pretty much owned him, as I expected.

Back to Viridian Forest.

What surprised me was that I only saw the second shot 3 times. I could have sworn there were at least 5 Bug Catchers in Yellow, plus some random Lass.

After that shouting you did a minute ago?

I understand why this is in the game, but in sign form? I mean, who would this actually apply to apart from me and Douche?

Another new Pokemon is in order, I think.

YES! I might actually use him as a primary party member.

Sweet. First Pokeball, too. Unlike that bloody Kakuna.

This was the nickname I gave to my Beautifly in my Pearl challenge, after one of my favourite bands. Fits for Pidgey, too.

Once I'd caught Wings, I pretty much just grinded him and Harden to Level 10, like I had with Nidoran and Squirt at the start of my journey.

Whilst grinding, the following events occured:

Wait, what?! When the hell does it learn Double Kick?? This game differs from Yellow more than I first thought.

Also:

Awesome!

....Or not. Fail moveset fails.

Anyways, I'd had enough of grinding by this point and decided I should get Brock out of the way.

I can see that.

Clearly! I mean, it's so blatenly obvious, right? But why don't you go ahead and tell me anyway.

Yeah, I feel for you and your poor, poor index finger.

Gym time. Lets hope this one isn't locked.

Douche got here before us? God ****ing dammit!

Onto the first trainer....

Easy.

Time for the Gym Leader.

.............what? YOU ****ING WHAT???!!!!

You are gonna get it. Nobody, but NOBODY, steals my boyfriend!

Easy.

Thank God for retards.

Yeah, well that'll teach you to steal my love.

That is the only time I've ever had to use that TM.

I've never seen so much fail in my life. Ugh.

Well, there you have it, kids. Video games are educational.

Anyways, enough time had been wasted, so I headed for Mt. Moon.

First of all, how can you 'steal' a fossil from a cave that isn't owned by anyone? Also, I don't remember there being a Police Station in Pewter City.

This never, ever gets old.

Close call with Harden, but at least he finally has a move he can defend himself efficiently with.

Unfortunately, I didn't get a screen shot of this, but after the match, this Bug Catcher said: 'Damn. Done like dinner.' Officially the worst joke I've ever seen from these games.

Saved here.

The Next Chapter: Mt Moon, The Nugget Bridge, Cerulean Gym and the S.S. Anne.

I'll get my party/box/dead status up in a bit.
