Ok, I've somehow managed to get distracted for a while, but here is my newest update:
Spoiler:

Started grinding again. Fought a Seedot, had Mladen (Zig) out, with maybe half HP. My nose itched and I forgot what I was just doing. Used tackle. Seedot unleashed energy.
...
This is pretty much the worst kind of death


So, I somehow got the Boulderbadge or whatever it's called in this version, with this team:
Spoiler:

Man, this is getting huge, should have resized it.... Ah, whatever
So yeah. I pretty much grinded Vasily, killed stuff around Rusboro with mainly Joducus and let Groyvle Shi Huang solo the gym. And I caught 2 Whismurs, none of which has been grinded yet.
Spoiler:

Also, up to now, I've been able to "borrow" a picture for every single Pokemon from Nuzlocke's ruby comic (obviously, except Huang, although I could do that as well if I wanted). Let's see how long this will be doable. Bets?

._. For once, I'm actually one of the people that's GOOD at something Pokemon-related... Guess this makes up for my competitive battling being suck-tastic.

This looks like a challenge :D Sign me up with Red version: I'll have an update up soon as I can.

Well, I AM playing Moemon Leaf Green, not normal Pokemon Leaf Green; like I said, those were probably there to test the different sprites. I'll just look at it this way: I'm just using what the game gave me.

Bwah. 3 times I've tried to edit this message, and only now does it actually let me. The other 2 times it gave me server errors and I had to wait nearly 10 mintes each time before I could even get back in.

Took on Deoxys, took down Deoxys. :D

OHSH*T. Machoke with Revenge and a 3-level advantage just about DECIMATED my Sandslash... ;-; 3/84 left... Sitrus Berry to the rescue, but missed with Iron Tail, and right back down to 7... Next Iron Tail did the job, but oh god, that scared me... *clings to Sandra* ;-;

Ooh, fancy. The forum automatically merges double posts?

Scepy's Nuzlocke Run
Spoiler:

Day 6:
We got to Lavaridge today. I saw May in the hot springs, but I went on to the gym. I got past every trainer, used my one heal, and headed to Flannery. She was mean! She killed Leana and Trickster, but Lily finished her off. I'm happy I got that extra Whismur from Rusturf Tunnel. Time to train him/her. I don't know what gender it is. That's sad...

^darksceptile I found a shiny on my Nuzlocke Run as well!

Diamond Progress
I was standing on the top of Spear Pillar, the highest point in Sinnoh. Right now I would have felt like I was king of the world, but Cyrus’s plan was in its final stage, and if he succeeded there would be no world left to be king of. Jacques and I had just defeated Mars and Jupiter and my Pokemon were fully healed. This was a Nuzlocke Challenge so my Pokemon must be kept in top form at all times. “Enough chatter” began Cyrus “Time to create the new world that I desire!!!”
Cyrus held up the red chain. “I call on the power of the legendary Pokemon, the deity of time, Dialga!”
The ground shook as a figure emerged the eons and centuries of time. Its deadly roar seemed to shape the very fabric of time itself. I knew this wouldn’t be an easy fight. I ran towards Dialga, ready to bring it down. When Cyrus stepped in front of me. “Where do you think you’re going?” he asked
“I’m going to stop your insane plans once and for all, Cyrus!” I cried. Cyrus seemed to chuckle at this, “I can shape the world as I see fit” called Cyrus “I am a deity, you are a fool to challenge me!”
Then, Cyrus gave Dialga an attacking motion. It was about to unleash its signature attack, Roar of Time, when the three lake guardians, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf appeared. They combined their psychic powers, and the red chain that bound Dialga had snapped. “I’ve had enough!” Cyrus yelled “You won’t be interfering with my plans any longer, Mick!”
The battle began as Cyrus sent out Honchkrow. I used B.O.B, my Porygon-Z, as it new Thunderbolt, and possessed a magnet as its hold item. I’d known Cyrus would be using 3 flying type Pokemon, so I’d thought this strategy up. Cyrus delivered the first blow. His Honchkrow’s Night Slash was a sturdy hit, but B.O.B was still standing. “Thunderbolt!” I commanded.
Honchkrow’s high HP stat left it alive, but barely. Cyrus unleashed another Night Slash, but B.O.B took the hit and continued with another Thunderbolt to leave Cyrus at 3 Pokemon. Next up was Gyarados, Thunderbolt could have easily killed it, but this was a Nuzlocke Challenge, and if a Pokemon was gone, it was gone forever, ergo I wasn’t going to take any risks. I switched to Jiffy, my trusty Gastrodon, as it can take a hit or two. Jiffy easily took Gyarados’s hits, left and right as it covered for B.O.B who was nearly devoid of HP. Eventually, Gyarados was downed via strength, but the battle had just begun. I could see Cyrus twitch, perhaps he was losing his cool.

“Enough is enough!” cried Cyrus, “Go Weavile”. Weavile was Cyrus’s ace Pokemon, even one night slash could send your HP down to 0. I promptly sent out Kazzy, my Infernape for the type advantage.
“Night Slash!” Cyrus bellowed. Weavile charged for Kazzy and slashed it with its sharp claw. I watched Kazzy’s HP fall, could this be the end of our time together? Kazzy survived the hit and promptly countered with an array of punches and kicks known only as Close Combat to finish off Weavile once and for all. Cyrus threw his final Poke ball in a fit of rage to send out Crobat, a powerful poison and flying type Pokemon.
“Your done for, Cyrus!” I called out, while throwing a Pokeball. B.O.B was ready to blast Crobat to pieces.
“Crobat, use Poison Fang!” called Cyrus. B.O.B was down, but not out. “Thunderbolt!!!!!” I commanded. B.O.B drew all its inner power to deliver a powerful string of electricity to Cyrus’s Crobat. It was nearly finished, we were this close to saving Sinnoh, no, the entire world at large. Crobat’s weakened state let B.O.B attack first and deliver the final, shocking blow.
Cyrus put his face in his hands as Crobat slowly fluttered to the ground, not crying, but shaking with anger. He burst up and shouted “No this isn’t over, the human spirit is incomplete and WILL be destroyed!”
I had defeated Cyrus. I couldn’t believe it. That wasn’t the end of my mission, however, I had to defeat Dialga and save the world. I could hear, Rowan, Dawn, and my rival Jacques cheering for me as I stepped into battle. Dialga let out a mighty roar. “Go Kazzy!” I cried. Kazzy let out a battle cry, ready to defeat Dialga and save the world. I led with Flamethrower, which braised through Dialga’s hard steel plating. I was quite confident that we might win. Then Dialga unleashed its most powerful attack, ripping right through Kazzy, Roar of Time. I watched Kazzy’s HP fall to 0, every second of it pained me. I had lost my starter Pokemon, but he wasn’t just a Pokemon, he was a friend.
“Avenge his death, Jiffy!” I cried as my Gastrodon came out, sheer determination in its eyes. Dialga had to charge, so we took advantage and unleashed a critical hit mud bomb, defeating Dialga. I stood there, I had done it. I had saved all of Sinnoh. I was congratulated by my friends. I was a true hero, but at what cost. I paid my final respects to Kazzy, and continued on, tears, ever-present in my soft blue eyes.
“This isn’t over!” I cried, facing the sky “I’m going to make Kazzy proud, and become the League Champion!”

and the reason I use big words and such is because I entered it for the short story contest.

I swear Captain Slash is a freaking android, he's so beastly its almost unreal.
-----------------------------------
Anyway there is a New, "Ask Ace" feature. Anyone can submit a question and I will answer it or give advice to the best of my ability.

Example:

N00b: I need a fire type for the Elite Four in Hoenn.
Ace: Camperupt is both sturdy and powerful and Torkoal's ability makes it immune to lowered stats, both are very good choices. :)

The Story so far:

+ http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/9/9d/Spr_1b_004.png I picked Charmander and named him Dargo =D. Me and him are gonna be best buddies... ^^
+ My rival, Nuzloke, challenges me. To which, I respond with pwnage. Dargo grows to lv.6 =D
+ To viridian and back for old man Oak's parcel, blah blah...
+ I get my pokedex and I'm off, back to Viridian =D. I thought I'd pop in to Route 22 and see what I can find...
+ http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/4/48/Spr_1b_029.png To be perfectly honest I was kinda hoping for a male. Nonetheless, I caught her and named her Chelsea.
+ Back to Route 1 for some good ol' fashioned grinding =D. There were a few close shaves, but we got there.
+ At lv.8 I decided to press north. After watching the old man's tedious (and let's be honest, after 14 years, pointless) lecture on catching, I begin Route 2. Wonder what will appear first...
+http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/c/cd/Spr_1b_016.png Meh, why not. Called him Jefferey, after a friend's suggestion.
+ Back for more grinding! D=<
+ That'll do. Next up - the forest =D

Planetes. August 15th, 2010 4:39 PM

It was a drowzee, my least favorite Pokemon, so I didn't use it.

Oh guys read my post above to learn about the "Ask Ace" feature and watch my LG Gym video as well as read my Diamond Short Story

Lord_Storm August 16th, 2010 4:00 AM

It’s my second day on the challenge and hopefully it doesn’t end up how the last one did, as I was careless, and sammuthegreat, couldn’t think of a name for my Makuhita, so I just thought of something that would hurt.

Day 2
Spoiler:
I left to find Peeko and rescue him from the clutches of Team Aqua after grinding my team up a little, and being scared of what happened in my last challenge I’m grinding all of my team really high. After grinding all of my team to level 16, I decided to challenge May, and I am really hoping not to lose anyone. Well that was easier than I had expected, two OHKO’s by Weepy2 and I’m on my way. I headed off to Dewford, and grabbed an Old Rod and got to fishing. In Dewford, I caught a female Magikarp and named her Cannon, and put her in the PC as backup. In Granite Cave I found a male Makuhita named Wrestle, but have placed him in the PC. I went to find Steven first and then grinded my team to level 20 before fighting the gym. While grinding, Racer evolved, which is awesome as Racer was not powerful enough, but should be stronger now. Whistler and Screech have both evolved into Loudred and are both very good now. Weepy2 has evolved and has become insanely strong, but I just have to watch out for those Lv10+ Makuhita’s and their Arm Thrust’s. Lv10 Makuhita! 2 HP Weepy2! Aargh!

Time to challenge the gym. I hope for no casualties, and an easy win :/. I love Dusty with Confusion and Gust with his OHKO’s against every Pokémon in the gym, please, please, please do this against Brawly, Dusty. Yes! 2HKO against Machop, 3HKO against Meditite and 5 hits to kill Makuhita, I killed Brawly!

Time to go to Slateport City! I unleashed fury upon Slateport Beach, and obliterated everyone until I got my Soda Pop! I met Dock and went to pay to get into a museum that is being raided. After Racer OHKO’d all of the Team Aqua grunts Pokémon, I gave Cpt. Stern the Devon Goods and left for Mauville. On Route 110, I found a female Minun and named her Zapps, and threw her in the PC. I completed the first Trick House Puzzle and got a Rare Candy that I’m going to save until I need it. As I got into the battle with May, her Combusken used Double Kick on Whistler and left him with 7 HP, I panicked and changed to Racer and obliterated the rest of her Pokémon and ran back to Slateport Pokémon centre. I arrived in Mauville after a few easy battles, but I will continue next time.

Right, I never actually said what my team was, did I?

Ayumi :t005: Lv33
Mist :t134: Lv30
Bell :t071: Lv27
Paige :t017: Lv33
Michelle :t026: Lv29
Sandra :t028: Lv29

Giovanni was an absolute joke... ._.

Lord_Storm: Yes, that's the ticket! Just grind like crazy, and your team will be fine~ All 6 of my pokemon were at level 10 before I even entered Viridian Forest. Maybe that's why I'm doing so well: I'm making DAMN sure my pokemon are high enough of a level to handle anything. Oh, and you might wanna update your signature.

And a tip to anyone playing: As soon as you get to wherever the department store is in your game, if you have any Super Potions, sell them and go to the rooftop. Selling a Super Potion gets you enough to buy a Lemonade, which is FAR better :D The vendor drinks > everything else in terms of HP per price.

Um... Like I asked, if I took the Hitmonlee from the Fighting Dojo, am I still allowed to take the Lapras from Silph Co.?

.Kaiser August 16th, 2010 7:50 AM

No. You could get one of them, but not the other. Sorry ):

Leafbarrett August 16th, 2010 8:07 AM

Updaaaaate Tiiiime
Spoiler:

Ok, so I started Ruby and found my team in a situation where it required some grinding. So I started grinding Mina the Whismur, and everything went well, until that one crit. By a Zigzagoon. I should have seen it coming... Well, at least Chidiebere has been doing very well so far. So I grinded C. to a decent level and advanced to Dewford. The first thing I did there was challenging Brawly, with Joducus. Unexpectedly his Machop had Seismic Toss, which made things somewhat harder and made me use a few Potions. Makuhita was no challenge though.
Speaking of Makuhita... Yes, I caught one in that cave, and it's unnamed because I misclicked. Ah well, there's worse things than unnamed Pokemon. Wattson, for example. I think with Huang and Makuhita he should be piece of cake though. For once.

This leaves me with the following team:
Spoiler:

http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac79/mondayssukc/a11-56.jpg?t=1281983635
Yeah, I finally started resizing stuff.
Don't worry about Vasily by the way, he's just sitting in the box for now, doing nothing.

Quick update. Same team, but Primate is 1 level higher.

mondays suck August 16th, 2010 11:52 AM

More Update.
Spoiler:

South of Slateport. Battling a Sailor. Wingull dies, he sends out Machop. Chidibere's Uproar continues. Crap. Looks like normal Pokemon are cursed in this run.
Next route: Electrike, called Cinzia. Dammit, that's a Pokemon Nuzlocke didn't catch, he got a Wingull there.

GODDAMNED MACHOPS
Huang vs Machop. Karate Chop crit. Did less than half. Next Karate Chop crits again. Dead. FFFFFFUUUU-
Never Forget ;_;
