It would be OK if you hacked for a Pokemon in it's lowest evolutionary form. For example, using A-starter to get Larvitar as your starter would be ok, using it to get Tyranitar, would not.

So that puts all legendaries out of the picture as well? No problem, wasn't planning on using a legendary anyway. Thanks for getting back to me so fast! ^^

Okay, this chapter contains the seriouslu-epicly exciting battle with Fantina!

CHAPTER NINE:
Spoiler:

The men walked around the ancient building. Everything was covered in dust, and gastlys floated around eerily. Every step they made sounded like thunder among the deathly silence.
‘Hey, look!’ one of them cried out, ‘I found a diary!’
He held out the book to the others. It was badly damaged; the front half was completely gone. Most of the pages were unreadable, but the ones in the middled looked relatively fine. They flicked open the pages, and began to read.
Date: xx-xx-xx xxx
I remember the world rushing by, an unsettling flash of blue light, then I woke up into the chamber. A human looked down on me, and I said “hey brah, what’sa happenin’ down here?” There was no reply. They were focused on a computer, and I realised what had happened. They were using me, FOR A BOX EXPERIMENT!!!
‘Okaaaaaay...’
Date: xx-xx-xx xxx
I’m not sure about my feelings of today; things went by in a pulsating blur. I ran away. I’m not like most eevees, I can adapt. But not to places like this, situations like this. Whence running, another human I ran into. She was a girl; she had an unusual sense of fashion but was accompanied by strong Pokémon I dare not fight. That night I was captured, to become a minion of this human, ‘Shame’. How will this turn out? I dare not guess....
The next few pages were illegible, probably because an eevee wrote them, somehow, not fire, flood, or whatever else had destroyed the diary.
DaXX: xx-02-xx JAN
There are many things I need to adapt to, but I believe I am going well. I have a name now, Right. It reminds me of the word righteous, but ‘Shame’ stated she called me that because it was a word in the song she was listening to. I believe otherwise. I’m not used to killing other Pokémon to, my previous 20 level were gained by less vulgar methods. She also evolved me today, into a fine leafeon. Considering their move set, I am...
.....
“Kinda really pissed off, mate.” The leafeon sat in the forest clearing, glaring daggers at Shame.
‘Well, I was bored. Eevee’s suck. And now you know some healing moves. Get over it.’
“Do you a want me tah explain the situation? I learn my a-next good move at level SEVENTY ONE. Now can you a tell me wah I’m pissed?”
‘Because you have a really wacko accent and look like a girl.’
“... Whatever.”
“Right, stop complaining. Don’t you have even the smallest trace of an ego? My ego and its power-”
“Sexytrack, shut it”, Wonder joined in the conversation, “can we just go and collect our next badge?”
And just like that they appeared in front of Hearthome gym, ready to battle.
‘Everyone, let’s go and say cliché battle scene lines!’
“Alright!”
.....
They entered the gym cautiously. After sneaking through some rooms with the curtains pulled down, the gym leader was in sight.
‘Oh, it looks like Ich habe ein challenger!’
‘That’s German moron! You’re supposed to be French!
‘Oh oui, thank you for correcting me. I am Fantina, leader of Hearthome gym.’
‘I challenge you to a batt-’
‘I surrender! Please don’t hurt me! Mercy, mercy! Take the badge, take the tm, just go!’
‘What?’
Wonder sighed, “Shame, she’s French.”
‘Oh, I see! That’s three badges down... That pep talk sounded way better in my head. Way, way better.’



...Not...

Ok ill try this, looks more fun than it sounds

EDIT: itll be in fire red

EDIT2: im going to make this an ultimate challenge
FR-S-R-P

Okay update one:

Spoiler:
Named myself Defcon1
Started off choosing a Chamander, nicknaming him Slandar (for some
reason). He wrecked Gary's Squirtle by growling at it then closing in
for the kill with lethal claws. Going up route 1, I encountered a
Pidgey, Which I then owned. I retreived a parcel for the professor, then
pomptly delivered it and recieved a Pokedex fo my troubles. Hoping for
a Mankey, I travelled west of Viridian city. Whaddya know? A Spearow!
Dang. Caught it anyway, named him Thyer. Grinded my pokemon then
attacked Gary. Won easily. Went up to route 2 and caught a Pidgey
and then forgot to name him.

Travelled into the forest and got attacked by a wild Pikachu (yes!).
Caught it, but forgot to name him, oh well. Anyway, grinded Slandar
'till he was evolved, then challenged the gym. The trainer was easy
points, but Brock was difficult. His Onix led with a rock tomb, halving
Slandar's health, while my own attack did less than one thid of his
health. Fortunatly, he decided to tackle Slandar, while Slandar clawed
him to death with his metal claw.

Continued on to route 3 when something very bad happened. Pikachu was
at full health when he got OHKO'ed by a trainer's Rattata. That was a
pretty big loss, but I pressed on. Hoping for a Jigglypuff, I actually
found a Nidoran (Female), but Thyer used his fury attack of death to
kill her. I instead made my route 3 pokemon a magikarp from the
pokecenter (Fishy). Inside Mt. Moon I found a Zubat, which got killed,
so my Mt. Moon pokemon is the Dome Fossil that I will eventually
revive.

Outside, I taught Slandar mega punch for bringing the pain to Misty,
and to a lesser extent, Gary. Gary went down with only minimal effot
needed, as did the nugget bridge tools. Caught an Oddish, which I named
Pluka.

My team stands as:
Slandar
Charmeleon
level 23

Thyer
Spearow
level 18

Fishy
Magikarp
level 5

Pluka
Oddish
level 12


Hopefully Misty will be destroyed by tommorrow or the day after.

Just so you're aware, that's kinda against the rules... You're only allowed to catch the first Pokemon you encounter on any Route, and if you kill it, you have to wait till the next Route to catch another Pokemon.

You're allowed to have your own set of rules in a Nuzlocke challenge, but that's one of the two rules you really can't change or ignore. Look at the original post in this thread; the rules in bold are the ones you have to obey. The rest are all optional.

Update 15:
-It’s time to grind... *cues epic grinding music*
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/4/4b/Spr_3f_110.png-During Grinding, Gasman became twice as cool

-Once I felt suitably grinded (or bored), I headed back to Cinnabar
-Having returned, I re-entered the Mansion
-I found a bunch of switches and pressed them all! I mean come on, who wouldn’t?
-Found a key, and left the Mansion with my Escape Rope.
-Found that the key opened the Gym! What a lucky break...
-Ran through the Gym with zero difficulty.
-Blaine wasn’t much harder...
-Oh well badge number 7 :D
-So with that done, just one more badge to go and... oh, it’s Bill! Hi Bill...
-Hey... wait a minute... where are you taking me?
-Well... I ended up on One Island (real original name :/), anyway Bill and this guy Celio seem to want me to give some guy a meteorite... so I better go and do that so that I can get back to getting my last badge.
-Screw the meteorite, I’m hitting the game corner... time to win some monies :)
-The owner seems to have lost his daughter and won’t let me gamble... the hell? D: Then, to make things worse a biker came in and seemed to be completely lost, idiot.
-Headed to Three Island to find Lostelle (its funny because her name has ‘lost’ in it :/)
-On Three Island I found some Bikers, who immediately all challenged me to a series of battles.
-That was fairly easy...

Sammuthegreat February 11th, 2011 5:30 AM

Update 10 - The Elite Four

Spoiler:


So, after a fairly epic bout of grinding my team members to Lv.60, I challenged the Elite Four.

Aaron was easy enough. I led with Apollo the Bronzong, who killed Dustox with Psychic. I then switched in Clipper, my Empoleon, who beat Heracross with Drill Peck (although when he switched in, Heracross used Close Combat and took Clipper down to just 13HP). Clipper swept through the rest of the team too, using Drill Peck to take out Vespiquen, Ice Beam for Beautifly and Surf for Drapion.

Bertha was an absolute piece of cake. Her lead Quagsire's only offensive move is Earthquake, which doesn't affect Pluto, my Gyarados. So Pluto set up with 3 Dragon Dances and Waterfall OHKOd his way through her entire team (in fact I got a 4th Dragon Dance in to counter Sudowoodo's Sucker Punch).

Flint was trickier. I was hoping I'd still have Rubble, my Golem, at this point, but he was dead so I had to make do. Apollo destroyed Rapidash in impressive style; he Safeguarded to avoid being Paralyzed by Bounce, then Confuse Rayed the horse. Faint Attack and Psychic finished it off.

Then Flint switched in his Infernape, one of the few Pokemon in the whole Elite Four for which I didn't have an effective counter (damn you, ThunderPunch). I switched Apollo out for Pluto, expecting that Infernape would use Earthquake against Apollo. It did, and it missed Pluto, who Intimidated the monkey's Attack down. I then switched Apollo back in to take the inevitable ThunderPunch hit, and repeated the process a few times until Infernape's Attack was down four stages, then I switched in Venus, who Drain Punched for the win. Blade, my Weavile, nearly took down Drifblim but Flint switched the balloon for his Steelix when Drifblim was almost down. I switched in Clipper who finished Steelix off quickly with Surf. Venus then took care of Lopunny with Brick Break, and Apollo took Drifblim's few remaining HP, even after Drifblim's Ominous Wind predictably raised all his stats on the first try.

Lucian wasn't so bad. Mr Mime went down quickly to Blade's Night Slash. I then took a major risk and switched in Kazza, my Alakazam, against Lucian's Medicham, because I wanted to set up Reflect and Light Screen. Kazza survived the risky switch, and eventually took down Medicham with Shadow Ball. Blade then took care of Girafarig with Night Slash after another heroically risky move by my fragile Kazza; he risked staying in just one more turn to set up another Reflect. It paid off and Blade switched back in to finish the giraffe. Pluto then switched in against Bronzong, who could only watch in awe as Pluto set up Dragon Dance and Waterfalled his way through the rest of Lucian's team; Bronzong and Alakazam stood no chance against my mighty Pluto.

Cynthia was the final hurdle. I led with Apollo against Spiritomb, who was doing well after confusing the ghost, until Cynthia switched it for her Lucario. I thought a while about Lucario's offenses and defenses before opting to switch in Pluto again. He took a few hits while setting up, but eventually he was brimming with Dragon Dance power. Lucario stood no chance against Earthquake, and Gastrodon stood no chance against Waterfall. Then came Garchomp. I went for it, despite Pluto not having quite full health; 5-times Dragon Danced Waterfall. It hit, and Garchomp's health was falling... falling... and it stopped. On the tiniest sliver of red health. It was still alive. It used Giga Impact. I watched as Pluto's health drained, and drained, and drained... and stopped! Pluto had survived with just 14HP. After that seriously close call, he went on to destroy Garchomp before I healed him with a much-needed Full Restore. Then Pluto, still with the benefit of 5 Dragon Dances, walked through the rest of Cynthia's team; Earthquake took care of Milotic, Waterfall destroyed Spiritomb and Earthquake again mangled Roserade.

I did it! My second Nuzlocke challenge, complete. And this time I didn't even lose any bros in the E4!

Sorry I thought that it was the first pokemon you see or obtain, it doesn't really matter though, I kinda got owned by Misty and now I have to start over 0_o.

Im going to play in ruby as I know the Hoenn region entirely and I've completed the game mostly with just Blazekin already. I'll go back to fire red eventually

It is the first Pokemon you see/obtain. If you fail to catch the Pokemon, or the Pokemon dies, then tough luck, you have to move on and go to another route if you want another Pokemon. If you have any questions, or if you need tips on how to beat the nuzlocke challenge, don't hesitate to contact me.

hazard master February 11th, 2011 3:33 PM

Okay ruby update one:

Spoiler:

Started off with a better name this time: Locke. Listened to a lengthy intro from Prof. Birch. It reminds me of why I love the FF on emulators. Any way, Torchic is my starter, named him Torch. Grinded him up to level 8 before fighting May. I won with only 3 scratch attacks. Fortunatly, I hadn't seen a pokemon on route 101 so I did a little searching and I found a Zigzagoon(forgot to name him). Traveled to route 102 and caught a Seedot. Named her Querer(Spanish for want). Helped some helpess green-haired fool catch a Ralts. Lucky SOB. Took on the trainer at the beach, and showed the rich boy who's boss. He payed out A LOT of money!

Entered the forest woods and beat the trainer who thinks quantity over quality. Idiot. Caught a fiesty Wurmple, named Bugsy. Nearly lost Ziggy to poison, but, thanks to some potions, he survived. Helped saved the Shroom seeker from the grunt. Walked right though Rustboro and caught a Whismur in the grass, named Screamo. I'm mad now cuz i was gunna catch one in the cave and now I can't catch any good pokemon XD.

Torch evolved, and so did Bugsy. I took on Roxanne and her cronies and got an easy win. Saved Peeko from the grunt, Saved, quitted.

My team is basically

Torch
Combusken
level 19

md-Martin February 12th, 2011 11:11 AM

Alright, so I decided to do this on my Platinum. Started out and got the following done

-Got my Chimchar, named it Jayden, and leveled it up to LV.12
-Caught a Bidoof right outside Prof. Rowen's lab, named it Der. It will be nothing more than a slave.
-on the water near Jubilife caught a LV.9 Magikarp, named it Kaldur'ahm
-In the cave before entering Oreburgh I caught a LV.5 Psyduck and named it Garth
-Above Oreburgh I caught a LV.7 Machop, named it Feena and will be leveling this up.

Patch93 February 12th, 2011 8:36 PM

I'm going to try this in SoulSilver! I started one, failed miserably...So I'll try again. XD
Using the main two rules (No revives, fainted Pokemon must be released, and only catch the first Pokemon in each area.) And the nick-name one. I'll only be using heal items in battle. I'll also probably put this in story form, eventually.

Update:
Spoiler:

-Picked Cyndaquil because I have Totodile in my other game, and with Chikorita there's too many chances to have a complete disadvantage in gym one, as I learned last time. x.x

-Spent ages thinking of a name. Finally named him Dorito because they sounded really good.

-Fell in love with potion man at the lab door, again. I feel like they're constantly handing out potions in this game! But I'm not complaining.

-By some miracle (and a lot of sloooww walking in the shortest possible fashion) I made it to Mr. Pokemon's house and back seeing NO Pokemon. O_O I started to wonder if there WERE any.

-Named my rival Spike because it was the first thing to come to mind. ><

-I love having your mom save your money. I missed this feature in the other games.

-Once I started RUNNING in the grass, I instantly found a Hoothoot! I rather like them. On one of my original games I had a really awesome Noctowl. So I caught him. =P And he has an adorable overworld sprite!

-Named him Doctor. Get it? Doctor Hoo? *lame joke*

-Went up to Route 46 to catch another Pokemon, and got a Rattata. I named him Overbite.

-Didn't pay attention, and the Doctor died in a battle with a Rattata. D<

-Was trying to catch another Rattata, and managed to get Overbite killed. >.> I need to stop being online while doing this obviously. =/

-Named the second Rattata Underbite.

-Found a Bellsprout but accidentally knocked it out. D:

-Found a Gastly but neither Dorito nor Underbite knew anything but Normal-type moves. *headdesk*

-And on that note of fail, I restocked and saved/quit.


Team:
Spoiler:

Dorito/Cyndaquil
Level 7 | Hasty Nature
-Tackle
-Leer
-Smokescreen
-

Underbite/Rattata
Level 8 | Careful Nature

I don't see how it would be possible since there's a limit on the total PP restore items in the whole game, and it's not that many. They're kind of rare. So you'd eventually need to restore PP somehow long before you find your first ether or elixir, because even moves like tackle will run out frequently.

On an unrelated note I was going to post an update on my game so I may as well do it here: This time with normal text! And lots of pidgey first-of-the-route encounters (I'm going for the rule where you only catch ones you haven't caught before).

Spoiler:

BIG EVENT! Spwash the magikarp, at level 16, SURVIVED A ONE-ON ONE WITH ANOTHER POKEMON WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM ANOTHER PARTY MEMBER! The other pokemon was a level 16 caterpie with a trainer that was about as dumb as a rock. It kept using string shot unnecessarily between tackling, giving Spwash the edge.
- "Uh... Mr. Bugz Guy, ai dont tink yoo know hao too use teh stwing shot!"

- "I awweady dot a magikarp Mr. Old Wod butz ai takes yoor wod aneeway tos et wooks aww owd ant worn and weik et habz wots uv tartar... tarkit... chararic... wyke et habs seen wots and knows wots and etz yooneeque."

Encountered sandshrew, but already encountered as a fist-on-the-route before. Defeated it. (Rt 11)

Spwash evolved into a GYARADOS at level 20 in Vermilion Pokemon Centre.
- "Aaaaahh!! Ai diden't know et wood be so beg! Don't eet mee Miss. Scawy Dwagon Fish!"

Feetz was killed at level 24 by a critical hit karate chop from a sailor's level 20 MACHOP! (SS Anne)
Dazzow: "No... not anuder wan... no... I promised no moar wood die, ai letz yoo down!" *cries*
Sailor: "Hard facts of life, kiddo. Pokemon know what they're getting into."
Dazzow: "Do dey reewy?"
Sailor: "Yup."
Dazzow: "Den... taek dis!"

Dazzow anhialated the sailor's machop using FTWturfree, the butterfree.

Dazzow: "Oh, Wed. Dets not tawk. Dets jos battow!"
Wed: "Dazzle, are you feeling okay?"
Dazzow: "Jos gweat. I'm feewing jos gweat." *blank stare*
Wed: "You lost another one, didn't you? You're so careless."
Dazzow: "Ai don't know how ai tud hab pwen... pwevented et."
Wed: "Happens sometimes, but you know you gotta move on..."
Dazzow: "Den dets battow!"

In battle...
Wed: "Darn, Raticate can't take any more. Okay, Raticate. Return.

...

I-I said return!

Raticate? ...no. No! NOOOOOOO!!!!!"
Dazzow: "..."

Recieved HM 01 CUT from Cut Master. But there is nobody to teach it to, and no places left where I'm allwoed to catch new pokemon.

END OF THE GAME!



So I'm starting a Ruby one.

Phantoon14 February 16th, 2011 4:16 AM

Yeah so I just began a Heart Gold Nuzlocke challenge, this is the same post as the one I made on Smogon. If you use the forums, you can find me under the name Vp-Grim, anyhow this is what I got.


Heart Gold Nuzlocke Challenge - Update #1

RULES:
Spoiler:
- Nickname all Pokemans.
- Pokemon faints, release it immediately.
- Can only catch one Pokemans per route/cave/area, and if you were in the route already you can't catch Pokemon there.
- If all your Pokemon faint, then it's GAME OVER.
- Battle style to 'SET'.
- The only kind of healing used are Pokemon Centers and programmed AI.
- Cannot use legendaries, but you can catch them.
- No catching the same Pokemon.
- No trading.


UPDATE:
Spoiler:
Started out with a Chikorita, called it Funky. Went to Route 29 & 30, battled Pokemon in each so no catching allowed there. Cleared the rival, then got the Pokeballs. Hit up Route 46, found a Geodude, caught it and called it Chance. Got it up to level 4 then took on the Trainers at Route 30, cleaned 'em up and got their numbers. Hit up Route 31, found a Pidgey and the critical landed right at the red HP, caught it and called it Effort. Went inside Dark Cave, found a Zubat, caught it and called it Instinct. Back out to Route 31, cleared out the Trainer there with no hassle and got his number.

Got up to Violet City, healed up my Pokemon and headed for Route 32 to try find a new Pokemon and found a Rattata. Caught it and called it Passion. Afterwards took on Sprout Tower and the Gym, no problems there. Got togepi egg, then moving onto Azalea Town on the next update.


PARTY:
Spoiler:
Funky The Chikorita
Lvl 11, Lonely Nature with Overgrow. No items attached.
Has the moves:
- Tackle
- Growl
- Razor Leaf
- Poison Powder
Trainer Comments: A very balanced and good leader of the team, Funky is able to be the tank of the team and has a good offense when needed.

Chance The Geodude
Lvl 12, Careful Nature with Rock Head. No items attached.
Has the moves:
- Tackle
- Defense Curl
- Rock Throw
- Rock Polish
Trainer Comments: With his physical strength and defense, it can certainly cause a worry in the early game for gym leaders and trainers alike. It will be very useful until late-game when Chance could potentially be replaced.

Passion The Rattata
Lvl 6, Docile Nature with Run Away. No items attached.
Has the moves:
- Tackle
- Tail Whip
- Quick Attack
Trainer Comments: Could be useful sometime sooner, but for now Passion's chance of shining bright will have to be put on hold.

Instinct The Zubat
Lvl 7, Adamant Nature with Inner Focus. No items attached.
Has the moves:
- Leech Life
- Supersonic
Trainer Comments: Often very weak right now, he will be a good powerhouse of the late game for sweep. Instinct will have to wait.

Effort The Pidgey
Lvl 8, Hasty Nature with Keen Eye. No items attached.
Has the moves:
- Tackle
- Sand Attack
Trainer Comments: Effort needs more effort from me, what else can I say? Hopefully he will be much more useful later on.




BOXED:
Spoiler:
None are in the box.


DEAD:
Spoiler:
Our forces still stand strong.

Gulpin February 16th, 2011 6:25 PM

Ok, I'm going to start one on LeafGreen. I'll update as soon as possible. Here are the rules that I will be following:
1. If a Pokemon Faints, its dead, release it.
3. You can only catch/recieve one Pokemon in each Area. A town is one area, a route is one area, a cave is one area, etc. Should you fail to catch a Pokemon for any reason (other than game corruption) than too bad.
4. You must nickname all of your Pokemon (optional, but highly reccomended)
5. No catching legendaries.
6. Trading is disallowed, but the reasons following this clause are allowed. Egg trading is okay, same thing with Pokemon that can't have eggs. (optional) Trading simply for the purpose of evolution is perfectly OK.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. Good luck with your challenge, if you so choose to undertake one.

Phantoon14 February 17th, 2011 1:05 AM

Lost the challenge.
Got half my pokemon owned in the Second Gym by my own stupidity and the rest were cleaned up by the rival.
I'm going to think out my strategies better then go for this again.

slls81 February 17th, 2011 1:49 AM

Update 16:
-I started this update by heading out to Bond Bridge, which meant one thing... a chance to catch a new pokémon. :)
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/9/9d/Spr_3f_044.png-I ran into a Gloom... not too bad I guess. I caught it and named him Flower (original I know, but come one... I’m on an Island called Three Island, so I’m not going to worry about it too much)
-Made my way through Bond Bridge, and arrived at Berry Forest (more original naming here :/)
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/0/07/Spr_3f_096.png-The first pokémon I ran into was a Drowzee... interesting. I caught the Drowzee and named her Pendulum.
-For the first time in a while, I had a choice of which pokémon to use (maybe even for the first time on this play through). After much debate, I decided to keep Mophead in the team, and deposit Flower into the PC for now.
-After heading back to Berry Forest, I finally found Lostelle, who was being haunted by a Hypno. Dinobird took care of the Hypno, and I returned Lostelle home.
-Handed over the meteorite and headed back to One Island.
-It seems Bill and Celio had fixed the PC, so we headed back to Kanto... finally!
-*I’m on the road to Viridian City*
-Oh look, the Gym’s open :rambo:
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/d/d0/Spr_3f_097.png-During my sweeping of the Gym trainers, this happened.

-Oh my god! The Viridian Gym Leader is... Giovanni! I’m shocked! Shocked! :shocked:

-After I got over the shock of the Gym Leader being Giovanni, it was time for my final Gym battle...
-Well... that was easy. No problems at all, and I now have my 8th and final badge.

So much bloodshed. Will the madness never end?

Christopher February 18th, 2011 8:44 PM

well...third times the charm right? My first two previous attempts have went horribly awry thanks to May and Lt.Surge but I'm going to give it another go this time on Platinum. My rules are below.

1. If a Pokemon Faints, its dead, release it.
3. You can only catch/recieve one Pokemon in each Area. A town is one area, a route is one area, a cave is one area, etc. Should you fail to catch a Pokemon for any reason (other than game corruption) than too bad.
4. You must nickname all of your Pokemon (optional, but highly recommended)
7. Change the battle style to SET. (optional)
