-HOLY CRAP THAT WAS CLOSE! I hate Selfdestruct.
023-1_zps94b1f97d.png

Just a quick little update, took me a good while to grind idk was lacking a little motivation but made sure that I finished at least one Gym so I could update. Happy nobody died but disappointed about missing out on Aggron and Rayquaza, would love to have them both on the team at the expense of Edd my Dodrio.

Update #4
-Failed to catch a wild Natu on the sea of Lilycove, it teleported away.
-Caught a female Combusken on Route 122, named her Colonel and boxed, at least for now, already have a Fire type and a Fighting type.
-Failed to catch a wild Barboach in Mt. Pyre.
-Scaled Mt. Pyre but couldn't stop Archie.
-Caught a male Ralts in the Magma Hideout, named him Wally, boxed because of Grumpig's awesomeness.
-Thought I was overlevelled before Maxie but I was par with him.
036_zps8d749f24.png

-Found a Master Ball in Team Aqua's base but Archie got away.
-Found a Ponyta on Route 124 but due to the Duplicate clause I'll catch something else.
-Failed to catch a Chansey on Route 124, broke out of 4 Pokéballs, 11 Great Balls and 12 Ultra Balls.
-Caught a Groudon, yes a GROUDON, on Route 125! YES! Named it Helius after the Greek God of the Sun, only level 28 though and won't be much use against Tate&Liza because of Drought and again against Juan. Boxed for now.
-Found a wild Nincada in Shoal cave, but due to the Duplicate clause I'll catch something else.
-Caught a female Goldeen in Shoal cave, named her A$AP (well ASAP because there was no $). BOXED.
-Caught a male Arcanine on Route 127, named him Paul, due to it being level 8 and the fact that I'll be using one on my "Ones that got away" challenge it shall be boxed.
-Caught a male Chikorita on Route 126, named him Dave.
-Caught a male Dragonite on Route 129, name him Shenron, going straight into the team replacing Edd the Dodrio.
-Caught a male Numel on Route 130, named him Fire King after my Camerupt from my first ever Ruby save. Boxed.
-Caught a Huntail on Route 131, named him Tooth. Boxed.
-Failed to catch a wild Golem on Route 132, had it down to red with Shenron and BAM self-destruct, so glad Shenron didn't die.
-Caught a female Shuckle on Route 133, named Tina. BOXED.
-Failed to catch a wild Rhydon on Route 134.
-Caught a Beldum on Route 108, named it Psycho. Considering using it.
-Failed to catch a Koffing on the Abandoned Ship.
-Caught a female Aipom on Route 107, named her Julie. BOXED.
-Took on Tate&Liza feeling very nervous. Alex, Crowdhouse and Shenron died. I misjudged how fast a Xatu would be and Alex went down to a Psychic. I thought Crowdhouse could take a Psychic, unfortunately not. Shenron died to a ****ing crit I can't describe how angry I am. To be honest I've never been so relieved after a battle, I was sure this would be the end for us. I have a Milotic to replace my Blastoise, I'll use Chikorita/Beldum to replace Castform but I don't know who I should replace Dragonite with. I'm not sure about Groudon because it wouldn't be much of a challenge with a legendary.

Heartbreak. That's what I feel right now. Don't even want to say how annoyed I am. I knew it would happen too. Lost my two best Pokémon for the next Gym as well. So sad. Going to need to do a LOT of grinding, hopefully will get another update done tonight but no promises.

Finally done, it was tough and I'm glad it's over. The Elite Four wasn't as tough as I was expecting and Wallace certainly wasn't as tough as Steven in R/S. I may do another nuzlocke in the future as I really enjoy them, however I'm gonna take a break from them for a while as they're quite stressful haha.

Username: KeyDrop
Game: Ruby

Doing the mono water run made me want to continue the ruby nuzlocke I started long time a go, so I'm going to continue from where I left it.

Optional rules:
-I must nickname all of my pokémon.
I considered as the first encounter for route 101 and 103 the first one after getting the pokéballs.

I left the game in Dewford town before fighting the second gym.
Those are my pokémon so far:
Spoiler:

Now I have to box 2 of them but it's really hard to decide.

@vaporeon7 I've actually completed both FireRed and Crystal nuzlocke runs and am currently working on my Emerald one.

Okay, so I'm not gonna bother with my usual update style for this, because everything kinda went to crap very quickly. I was doing fine until I fought Roark. He scored 3 crits on me and killed both the Pokemon I had actually been raising (Turtwig and Staravia). I wound up just barely managing to beat him with my second lvl 7 Geodude (the other one also died). So now I'm left with very little to work with.

Starter: Turtwig (dead)
Route 201: Starly (dead)
Route 202: Missed
Route 203: Starly (boxed)
Route 204: Missed
Ravaged Path: Zubat (boxed)
Oreburgh Gate: Geodude (dead)
Oreburgh Mine: Geodude

Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that I lost. Yeah, Brawly just completely wiped me out. So, yeah. Take me off, please! I may sign up for more Nuzlockes in the future, but I'm done for now. Bye!

-Burgh was no issue
-Even though we lost a couple team members, we got some great ones as well that hopefully will stick around for a while
-Everything went relatively fine up to and including the Nimbasa gym
-Threw my Eviolite on Melisandre and taught her Dig, after which she proceeded to single-handedly take down the gym (with the help of some Lemonades, but I digress), including Elena, gaining four levels in the process.
-Did our first trade in Driftveil, saying goodbye to Jerry and help to Blueeye :D
-Did Cold Storage, then Blueeye proceeded to utterly demolish Clays entire Gym

@Matzeho1996 I like your choice of emulator, but could you look into scaling down the size of your screenshots? They are enormous!
