The Life Orb Challenge

I have always believed it to easy in pokemon games to acquire an elite team. I have always thought it was very unrealistic that at the end, a player would always have 6 fully evolved, high leveled pokemon. When we look at Ash in his journey, several of his pokemon never evolve, but are still strong in their own right. So I bring to you:

The Life Orb Challenge:
This challenge will work to limit the amount of pokemon a trainer can catch, and evolve during their journey. A Trainer will have to strategize in order to keep their team strong progressing through.

The Rules:
1. No Cheating - You are doing this challenge for just that, a challenge. Don't ruin it by cheating
2. No Hacking/Trading - Just use your run of the mill pokemon game
3. You may use emulators and speed up functions - I know I sure do

Rules that set it apart:
1. You may only use pokeballs that you find or are gifted to you (no buying from pokemart)
2. You may only evolve a pokemon by dropping a nugget, pearl, or big pearl, this means you may not sell that nugget - nuggets received through pick up DO NOT count
3. You may only catch a pokemon the first time you see it in the wild. This only applies to the pokemon itself, and not it's evolved forms. For Example:
Spoiler:

4. You may only use the Safari Zone twice - make sure you know where Surf and Gold Teeth are.
5. When you catch a new pokemon to be on your team, they must be within 10 levels of your top Pokemon before you can progress in the game - this 10 levels must be maintained at ALL times. (For parody among pokemon)
6. No HM slaves
7. You must have 6 pokemon when you challenge the elite 4

When giving updates they should be constructed as I have constructed mine below (attached) . They dont have to be fancy, but should keep a record of all Pokemon received, Pokeballs used and received, Nuggets etc, used and received and tell of the team you used to beat gym leaders. (A brief story doesn't hurt)

Mind if the post's aren't like that? I don't really like arranging stuff like that and would probably end up in a mess.
So can I put it in text instead?

I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but I'll ask anyway, where do Apricorn made Pokeballs in HeartGold/SoulSilver fit in this challenge?

Also, you disallow nuggets found by pickup. Should we disallow PokeBalls found by Pickup as well?

Hey sorry it took so long. But no it is not a big deal how you update. Just include the areas mentioned.

We will say 3 Apricorn Pokeballs will be allowed, due to the amount of time. Also, Pokeballs found using Pick up are also disallowed.
