    OK, so, here's my first update;

    - Started the game. My character's name is Cormac, my IRL name.
    - Chose my first Pokémon, Dratini, out of a selection of Happiny, Snivy and Dratini.
    - Beat Bianca and Cheren quite soundly.
    - Got Xtransceiver from my mother, and then I went out, on my way to Prof. Juniper's.

    Also, forgot to mention, I'm making a series out of this on my YouTube channel, Reuniclass. Here it is;

  • Username: Blackshade
    Game: Pokemon Platinum
    Additional Rules: This is my first real Nuzlocke so i think i'll stick with the basic Nuzlocke stuff for now xD.

    Btw i already started since i was bored so here is what i have done so far:

    -Picked a Boy and named him Steven(My name).
    -Named my Rival Barry(I always liked him as Barry).
    -Had a choice between 1. Pupitar 2. Electrike 3. Psyduck.
    -Chose Pupitar as my Starter!
    -Barry got Electrike.
    -Battled and defeated Barry.
    -Nicknamed my Pupitar Kyoryu which is Japanese for Dinosaur.
    -Received TM27 Return from Prof.Rowan.
    -Dawn gave me some Pokeballs so now the Nuzlocke officially begins!
    -Went back to route 201 and caught a F lvl 3 Dragonair who i named Mystic.
    -Went to Lake Verity and caught a F lvl 2 Happiny and named her Scramble.
    -Healed up and went to route 202.
    -Caught a F lvl 3 Snubbull on route 202 which i named Snuggle.
    -Fought some Gym Trainers.
    -Saved and turned off the game.

    This is fun so far.I should do Nuzlockes more often.

    Just an update, did a lot of grinding but it still wasn't enough for Kanto. Ugh... lost my team to a Trainer on the S.S. Aqua... I guess my Heart Gold run is over... but I'm going to try again! Back to Gen III. Hopefully, I can *finally* complete a FRLG Nuzlocke...

    Name: Phantomness
    Game: Fire Red
    Rules: Must nickname all Pokemon, no duplicates, randomize moves by type

    My starter choices were Krabby, Tentacool or Cacturne. I picked Cacturne and named her Ivy. I fought my Rival's Krabby (it had Extreemspeed) and beat him. On Route 1 I caught a Hariyama named Gordon with Cross Chop, Submission, Karate Chop and Fake Tears and almost lost him to a Hoothoot with Shock Wave!
    On Route 22 I caught a Whiscash named Leon with Water Pulse, Water Gun, Magnitude and Mud-Slap. I missed out on a Magikarp with Hydro Cannon.
    On Route 2 I caught an Ariados named Arabella with Megahorn, String Shot, Barrage and Solarbeam.
    In Viridian Forest I failed to catch a Chansey… My team is bad against flying types… I defeated Brock's Primeape and Shelgon and got the Boulder Badge.

    I tried to play some randomized nuzlockes a few months ago, but I failed in all of them. I'll try again with some of the rules that I used: I'll start today and

    Username: elife
    Game: Emerald
    Additional rules: random TM. Movesets, TM/HM... etc. random prefering the same type.

    And my usual thing with these is... good team, good moves, trainers with even better pokemon and a massacre :( Being lucky, I'll post the 6th or 7th attempt XD

    I'll write today until I reach Wally in Petalburg, I had a problem once with Wally being defeated by the Ralts...

    Done for today!

    Well, second day of the Emerald random nuzlocke. I think the game wants me to have a Water type team, out of the 6 pokemon I have, 4 are Water types. I put the trainers between important events to shorten it a bit

    Petalburg City

    We met Scott. Nothing important

    Route 104(South)
    Pokemon: Lv.4 Wailord. Caught! Name: Moby. Moves: Rolling Kick, Clamp, Recover, Pound
    Just a normal route, nothing strange
    Training -> Moby learned Hidden Power (poison) and forgot Pound

    Trainers
    Spoiler:


    Petalburg Woods
    Pokemon: Lv.5 Cloyster. Caught! Name: Shyguy. With Pearl. Moves: Hidden Power (Electric) Hydro Pump, Sweet Scent, Muddy Water
    More training...

    Trainers
    Spoiler:


    Then... Wild Devon Corp. employee appeared! Looking for Shroomish, of course. He could have had a better chance looking for it while diving... The Aqua Grunt complaining, etc., etc....

    Trainers
    Spoiler:


    Aaaaand... We see the light! We're not blind!! ^^

    Route 104(North)
    Nothing. Only trainers.

    Trainers
    Spoiler:


    Reached Rustboro… but I'll leave it for later

    Route 116
    Pokemon: Lv.6 Linoone. Caught! Name: Speedy. Moves: Horn Attack, Sweet Scent, Flame Wheel, Cotton Spore
    More... yeah, you're right! Training... ¬¬

    Trainers

    This is it for today, I guess :)

  • Alright! I'll be a providing my first update when I play some more.

    Also, I won't be able to play half of the time, as I swap homes between my mother's and father's each week.

    Wow! I can FINALLY update, because my father's computer was being buggy. Anyway, here is my log so far!

    -My starter options are Raikou, Tyranitar, and Natu. I pick Raikou and name him Zeus.

    [Zeus, Raikou. Brave, Genderless, Level, Drizzle, (Reversal, Brick Break, Bounce, Blaze Kick), Poison type. Route 201]
    -Rowan is surprised I "already evolved my Pokemon." Dude. It's a Raikou.
    -Obtain Pokeballs. The Nuzlocke officially begins
    -First Pokemon of the Route.... IS A FREAKING BIDOOF. Wow. What. WhatRandomizerhow
    -I catch the Bidoof, and roll for an effect.

    -I got number 20. Nothing happens c:
    [Misa, Bidoof. Female, level 3. Jolly, Flash Fire, (Peck, Submission, Slash, Stomp.) Dragon Type, Route 202]
    -I go back to Lake Verity and find a Probopass. I successfully catch it and roll. Again, nothing happens for my effect.

    [Soichoro, Probopass, male, level 3. Bashful, Hyper Cutter, (Conversion, Dizzy Punch, Extrasensory, Wood Hammer) Flying/Grass Type, Lake Verity.]
    -I broke a rule about no healing. Eeps. If this happens again, I have to roll for a bad effect
    -Grinding for a bit.

    -After grinding....
    -Zeus: Level 10
    -Misa: Level 7
    -Soichoro: Level 9
    -Zangoose on Route 202 with SUPERSONIC AND SPEED BOOST. OH MY.
    -For some odd reason, I keep on finding some of the regular Pokemon. Like Bidoof And Kricketot. Huh.
    -Misa forgot stomp for zap cannon
    -I found an Old Amber.
    -Lucas tells me I should catch more Pokemon.
    -I get a Claw Fossil in the Trainer School
    -Route 204: Found Omastar. Killed Omastar with a crit. Oops.
    -Ravaged Path: Zubat. I named him Matsuda. (I will update with screenshots of stats when I can)
    -I roll for an effect and get number 17. Next time I fail to catch a Pokemon, I can try again.
    -I fight my rival. He has a Skitty and Natu. I win. Natu decided to spam Sharpen for whatever reason.

    -I find a Hariyama and catch it, I call him Mogi. (But in a rush, I forgot to nickname him). I roll and get effect 16. The next time a party member dies, after battle, I'll have to sacrifice a Pokemon.
    -More grinding.
    -I find a Paras in Oreburgh Gate. I name it Higuchi, and roll for an effect.
    Effect 13: I CAN RUN UNTIL OREBURG :O
    -Accidently ran infront of trainer. Zubat tries to KO his Chimchar, but Chimchar uses a Super Effective Dragon Claw and kills Matsuda.
    RIP Matsuda, level 5-9.
    -Alot of my Pokemon arent healed. I'm in a sticky situation
    -Higuchi is almost knocked out, so I switch to Mogi. I get very close to knocking it out, but it kills Mogi.

    RIP Mogi, who did not level up at all.
    -MISA TAKES THIS STUPID DUMB CHIMCHAR OUT.
    -And because of effect 16, I have to sacrifice a Pokemon. I'm sorry, Higuchi. :(

    RIP Higuchi, who also did not level up.

    -Well, I just lost all my new Pokemon. Grind time then on to Oreburgh.


    Current Team
    Spoiler:


    Deaths
    Spoiler:


    Another update!

    -Zen headbutt Porygon almost killed Zeus.
    -I get Rock Smash.
    -I reach Oreburg, so I no longer am able to run.
    -Route 207: Find an ENTEI. I knock it out.
    -I forget effect 17 was active. OOOOPS. So I did not get a second chance, as I already KO'd two other Pokemon on route 207.
    -Oreburg Mine: I find Espeon. I catch it with my last Pokeball. I name him Shulk. (Strangely enough, Espeon is still a Psychic Type.)
    -I roll effect 4: which means I cannot heal the next afflicted status until I reach a new town.
    -Soichoro is taken out by another Espeon. I use wood hammer, leaving it with 1 HP, and then it uses Aurora Beam. A crit one, I believe. I forgot honestly RIP, Soichoro. Level 3-12.
    -Back to grinding...Especially for Shulk.
    -Burned by Flame Body D: I have to rely on potions for healing so I don't heal Shulk and his burn, or else I'd breck effect 4.
    -Zeus forgot Bounce and learned Toxic Spikes.
    -Time for the gym.
    Gym Battle: Vs. Roark

    Spoiler:

    BADGE GET! 1/8.

    -I team up with Lucas and beat the Galactic Grunts.
