Ok.
Here is my current progress:

I have my first gym badge and have just set foot in Dewford. The only Pokemon who has died so far is Zig the Zigsagoon but that wasn't a big deal because I only caught him as a backup anyways.

My current team is:

Malakai the Treecko at Lvl 14

Nippers the Poochyena at Lvl 10

Mr.Chirps the Taillow at Lvl 11

Jared the Wingull at Lvl 11

Miran the Nincada at Lvl 10

I'll be sure to keep you posted! ^_^

Emerald 386 is seriously harder than I was thinking. After managing most of the rest of the Mauville area without major problems and evolving Eibhear into Feraligatr, I took on the Winstrate family. The first three had already died without causing any greater troubles, but then suddenly that Meditite killed Fran (Groyvle), who still had quite a lot of HP with High Jump Kick after not getting OHKOd by Leaf Blade. Great, my only Pokemon that's good against Electric types just died.
Currently grinding Roxelana (now already a Jigglypuff) and Alastriona the Illumise (dammit, I wanted an Oddish) up to the rest of the remaining team, and then I'll proceed to grind everyone to level 35 or so.

Alright. Luckily I haven't lost any friends yet. I've just now defeated May at the underpass. All of my Pokemon are level 15 with the exception of my newly evolved Grovyle. I do have a question though:

If I save the game before battle, and faint in battle, can I simply open up that save file and try again?

I've been doing that for a while now and I just wanted to make sure before I make large progress in the game. Thank you so much! ^_^

With all regards,

He went down too-I was down to two Pokemon, Mimzy and Spooks-I decided to play it safe....a tactic i never really used before...-Sent out Mimzy...three turns later she fainted-My last Pokemon...-GOOOOO...SPOOKS! AVENGE THEM ALL!!!-Used Curse at the start and then just waited it out...when i felt it was safe i would use Shadow Ball- Just kept using Full Restores whenever Spooks got hit ( I had like 30 of them in my bag at that point and wasn't really using them up until now)-After about 20 turns, my patience paid off and Armadlo fainted-stared at the screen for a while, processing what just happened then started shouting-YAY!!!

*attempts to raise popularity*
in other words, BUMP.
But seriously i will try this challenge on Sapphire.
(Oh yeah, i added a challenge, i cannot use healing items except during Gym leaders and E4)
Chose Treecko, named Draeae.
Decided to not count pokemon encountered until i get pokeballs.
So on Route 101 i got Poochyena.
called Arooo
On Route 103 I got Zigzagoon called Zagzig (will not use)
On Route 102 got a Taillow named Kaw, will be on team.
Did Wally Stuff
On route 104 caught a Wurmple called Xoth and desperately hoped for a Cascoon.
In Petalburg woods, encountered a Silcoon which i wanted, but accidently killed it with a crit.
Got my wish when Xoth evolved.
On route 116 caught a Whismur called Whiner. Do not want.
Challenged Roxanne. Bad idea, as my pokemon were underleveled.
Xoth switched out to Draeae first, but Draeae took heavy damage from Geodude. Used Absorb, halfway healing me and leaving Geodude with 1 hp
Roxanne healed Geodude, leaving him open for another absorb, fully healing Draeae. Geodude fainted. Nosepass came out, i used absorb, Nosepass had 2/3 health left, he used Rock tomb and got Draeae down to 3 hp. Fearing for my life, i used absorb, Nosepass has 1/3. Nosepass killed Draeae. Thinking that was it for me, i switched in to Kaw, who was very lucky and got 4 Wing Attacks in, while Nosepass kept missing Rock Tomb. Finally he hit, but Nosepass had a tiny amount. Kaw died, and Xoth finished it off with Confusion. Wow. That sucks.
I really suck at this dont i? Arooo, which i was grindin', died from a critted Water gun by a wild Wingull. All I want is a decent battling team.
Went to Granite Cave, lucked out, and caught a Makuhita, which i called Dosukoi. (You know, that sumo shout)
Got Old rod, fished in Dewford for a Magikarp. Caught it, unfortunately it was at lv 5. named it Grashcrash. Beat Brawly with barely a scratch with my Xoth.
Went to Slateport, did stuff, and got a Plusle at Route 110. Disappointed, I named it addend.
Went up to Mauville, got Lucky and caught a Volbeat on route whatever is left of Mauville.
Thats rare right? Wait, who am i talking to, nobody reads this.
*sighs* Okay I went north. Caught a Grimer at steam cave and numel at route 112. Grimers are cool, but i already have a poison type.
caught a Spinda. called it Pachiri. Still looking for trainable pokemon. tried Numel, decided he was too pathetic.
Went Down, got a Swablu, which was worth training. called it elegy. Got screwed over in Meteor falls, where i wanted a lunatone but got a zubat instead. (called it No. Why? Just ... no.)
RIP Xoth. Lost it against Archie on Mt. Chimney. There goes my longest-lived pokemon.
RIP Elegy. I know. I wanted to train it so bad, but it instantly went down by an OHKO critted Karate Chop by a WILD Machop (Jagged Pass). Caught the machop and called it I HATE YOU. and i dont even need it.

meh. Swept Lavaridge with just dosukoi, and trying to train Splund. got go-goggles, and caught an useless Sandshrew in the desert. Picked a Lileep fossil, and restored it at Rustboro. Happy, called it gneiss. Swept Norman with Vital Throw, but i admit it was close. While surfing at route 11...whatevers right of Mauville, gneiss died from a Tentacool. First used Wrap so i couldnt escape, then proceeded to Acid it to death (I got a Linoone there). Its like the whole world is against me. But i got this far, so i shouldnt complain. got an awesome Magnemite at New mauville, called it Rarecoil, and proceeded to use on team. On route 119, caught an Oddish. I wanted a cool pokemon, but oddish's not bad, providing i can find a leaf stone. (or sun) named it ploom after the oddish in my failed blue nuzlocke. Got Leaf stone and evolved ploom into Vileplume. Rarecoil evolved. And then i challenged Winona. I seriously thought i was going to win. and then... boom. Altaria used Earthquake. Come on, how does that thing know earthquake? Needless to say, my rarecoil was owned. My whole team, including dosukoi, was taken out. Thankfully, i had the sense to deposit Ploom in a box before, but i dont think i stand a chance anymore. So thats it. im giving up. for now.

I'll give it a go for Sapphire, although I'm new to this and haven't even completed a Solo yet :/

Ok so far I have a Torchic named KAIN (Route 101) and a Shroomish named EUTYCHUS (Petalburg Woods). KAIN is level 12 and EUTYCHUS is level 8. Already had a Wurmple named BOAZ and a Zigzagoon named HELLADIOS die :/

I'll try and keep you updated.

OK quite a bit has happened since,

I caught a Tailow and named it MERCURY, two Magikarps called Matthias and Oceanus, who are currently in the daycare centre becoming gyarados', and a third magikarp called KYRIAKOS. I also caught a Tentacool named ODIN, a Plusle named ARISTOTLE and a Zigzagoon who I named HELLIADAS in memory of the poisoned HELLIADOS. ARISTOTLE unfortunately died.

I faced the 1st gym with a level 16 Shroomish, a level 13 Torchic and a level 13 Tailow. Breezed through with Shroomish and bullet seed OHKOing everything except nosepass.

2nd Gym faced with a Combusken, Shroomish and Tailow all at level 20, pretty easy as the trainer's and leader's pokemon were weak to flying type moves, e.g peck (which Combusken also knew) and wing attack.

I then made my way to the third gym taking on trainers on the way and managed to get my Combusken to level 24 and the rest were around 21,22. I decided to take on the Winstrate family. Horror Struck. I got to the last one, a level 18 Meditate, who Hi top kicked me to hell :surprised:
I know have to release my beloved Kain and stick with my level 22 Tailow (MERCURY) and level 21 Shroomish (EUTYCHUS) and a couple others.

I don't hold out much hope for me now but like I said this is my first proper challenge and I'mma stick it out. Grinding time. Wish me luck.

Current Team:

Mercury (Swellow) Level 37.

Steel Wing
Wing Attack
Endeavour
Quick Attack

Eutychus (Shroomish) Level 21.
@Miracle Seed

Mega Drain
Flash
Leech Seed
Bullet Seed

Helladias (Zigzagoon) Level 13

Growl
Headbutt
Tail Whip
Sand Attack

Odin (Tentacool) Level 14
@exp share

Poison Sting
Supersonic
Constrict
Cut

2 Magikarp in daycare ready to evolve into Gyarados' if need be.
Will update on results of the 3rd gym which will be a ***** if Voltorb uses self destruct because if Mercury dies I am stuffed.

Leveled Mercury to 38 and Odin to 18 and took on the gym. Easily beat two trainers and the first two of Wattson's pokemon. Magneton screwed me, and my whole team over :/ I am now left with a level 5 magikarp and two other magikarps high enough to be gyardos'. But even if i managed to grind all my magikarps to level 40 gyarados' they would still get buttraped by the electric type gym. My first Nuzlocke comes to an end, but I loved it. I'mma start again in another thread on a different game, surprisingly not one in Hoenn :O

UPDATE 1 : This Game is Tough !

------------------------------

I never played Emerald 386 before, and after the fact that May had a Lv. 7 Treecko which spammed Absorb (and got 2 crits. :O) against Kalle the Squirtle shows how hard is it !
Anyways, my name is RUBY (comic reference ?) and I have RNGd 6 names for both males and females. I just beat May with no encounters on Rt. 101 but meeting a Bellsprout on Rt. 103. Thus, I used it as a grinding spot !

------------------------------

Later, I got some PokeBalls and my PokeDex. I went hunting on Rt. 101 and met a ... Lv. 2 Poochyena ... T_T.
Nicknamed her Salma.
Later, on Rt. 102, I met
a Zigzagoon ... WHY ? Caught her and nicknamed her Aisha. Done some grinding and finally reached Petalburg. I helped Wally and headed west, where I directly went into the grass and found a Surskit ! Caught it and nicknamed him Ugo. The box is good for him (for now, at least). Further north, in Petalburg Woods, I encounterd a wild Shroomish ! AWESOME ! Caught her (too many girls ?) and gave it the nickname : Earline (blame the RNG, not me !). She's level 6 so that only means one thing : GRINDAN TIMEZ !

------------------------------

After grinding to Lv. 10, I smoked the woods and had my first encounter with Team Aqua (his Poochyena was Lv. 12 lol). I've finished remaining stuff and rushed to Rustboro. West of the city, I met a Whismur ... caught it and named him Mikolas and deposited it.

-------------------------------

Later on, Youngster Joey of Hoenn Low Kicked Salma and the poor thing fainted in a OHKO. DAMN ! I always have bad luck (coughplatinumnuzlockecough). HE ALSO KILLED KALLE IN A CRITICAL HIT ! >.< Hmmmh ... I CAN withdraw Ugo and start training him, but there's one problem : he's Bug and if he can't OHKO Nosepass, he'll get OHKOd by Rock throw... I'm in a huge dillema here !

-------------------------------

OK, done for today. I'll keep grinding to the low 20s (seriously) and post my progress tomorrow !

Easier than I thought but the calm before the storm. Gym three is a SOAB with magneton who is resistant to near everything and self destructing Voltorb's. But I'll get some more pokemon on the way, hopefully a tailow (superspeedy) or a shroomish (so i can teach it bullet seed) and do some grinding of BLAZE, make him a Blaziken :) grind others to low 20's and see how it goes. BLAZE's ember should be enough to deal with the magnetons though.

UPDATE 2 : Dammit ! MAGBY ! Roxanne (Rocks-anne) falls ! DEWFORD - IT'S ON !

Well, the title says it : a Magby wasted 10 POKEBALLS to get caught in Rusturf tunnel ! It was tough, but I have Doris the Magby ! Which I'm gonna grind, of course ! This chapter will also contain the fall of Rocks-anne (also, I remade the first update to make it readable).

Versus : GYM LEADER ROXANNE (Rocks-Anne -> Rock-Type)

Earline only. Mega Drain and Bullet Seed. She also owned an Onix. Note : It's true that I used a Super Potion : Stun Spore missed while Earline got hit by Screech and had Rock Throw spammed on her by Nosepass. A tough one indeed ! But I earned ... :

STONE BADGE ! xD My first Emerald 386 Badge ! Giggle...

So, yeah, I head towards Dewford and get the Old Rod. In Dewford and North of it, I fish for a Magikarp and yeat another Magikarp. Nicknamed one Relenski and another one Chitzoiu. DEPOSIT !!

What ? Doris is evolving at Lv. 15, not 30 ! WTF ? At least I have a Magmar early on ! ;)

In Granite Cave, I meet a Tyrogue ! :o lol. I catch it and nickname him Samuel and deposit him for time being (I don't necesarilly need him).

Tomorrow is time for Brawly, today is grinding !

I obviously don't have enough patience for this, I blazed my way through with BLAZE, not grinding at all after the 3rd gym and got all the way to the 8th gym where BLAZE died :/ I wasn't too upset because I had caught myself a Groudon earlier. Then I remembered the rule about no legendaries. I'm gunna finish off this run through with blaziken and grouden, nuzlocke challenged finished, but only my second attemot and made it to 8th gym, with 57 Blaziken.

I'm gunna try another challenge soon but I won't update until I know I'm doing alright or until I'm finished because I just keep updating and failing lol, plus I'm not a very good story teller :/

EDIT: Okay here we go.

Chose a Mudkip, because I hear it's the easiest but I would argue Torchic is "/ Also It can learn Surf, Diveand Waterfall I believe but i'll try and teach them to others. Made it past route 101 without encountering a Pokemon! XD Means I can catch one when I actually get some balls. Not so lucky on route 103 :( Kicked Brendan's bum with my level 6 Mudkip, named SERJ. Now it's level 7 XDXD. May obtained Balls XD. Short lived excitement about route 101. I caught a level 2 Wurmple "/ Named it Ozzy because he happened to be on the TV at the time. My Pokemon on route 102 was a... level 3 wurmple. FML. Named it Slipknot because they were on next. Ah well maybe I can get 1 Silcoon/Beautifly and 1 Cascoon/Dustox.Barely made it to Petalburg because I didn't pick up any of the 3 potions "/ In Petalburg Woods I caught a Silcoon "/ arguably worse than a wurmple. Named it Scuzz. Ozzy evolved into Silcoon. I'm counting on Slipknot evolving into Cascoon. ****YEAH. I think this is actually my first Cascoon. Why am I so happy about a cascoon lol. Scuzz died :( I have a lvl 12 mudkip and a lvl 7 Silcoon and Duscoon.
Beat Roxanne XD. Pretty Easy with Serj's watergun.

EDIT2: Caught a level 7 Whismur in route 116. Named it hurt. Beat Magma Grunt to retrieve the Devon goods. SERJ became a marshtomp XDXD. OZZY became a beautifly. Maybe Ozzy and Slipknot aren't good names for butterflies "/ Boxed my Whismur as a backup. Caught a level 9 Aron in Granite cave and named it IRONMAIDEN XD. Delivered Steven's letter without Flash xD. Spent some time grinding my pomemon to take on Brawly. Grinded until SERJ was level 21 and so was SLIPKNOT. SLIPKNOT took he whole gym down with gust XD.

EDIT3: Sailed to Slateport :) Gave SERJ soft sand to hold. Battled the Magma grunts in the museum, kicked them in their whiny asses with SERJ. Delivered Devon goods. Thrashed Brendan, SERJ to take out Numel, then SLIPKNOT to take out Grovyle and Wailmer. Caught a Gulpin in route 110. Named it Flash. (AAAAHHH) Boxed it because I don't need it. Beat Wally with a OHKO :) Challenged the gym. OHKO'd EVERYONE in the gym with Mud-Shot combined with soft sand XDXD. Sorry for small update this time.

I'm going to start a challenge on my emerald.

I started by choosing Torchic and Nicknamed him MEGAFOOT. I then encountered wild pokemon on both route 101 and 103 which annoyed me a bit. I caught a Poochyena on Route 102 after defeating my rival and nicknamed her HECTIC. When I finally got to Route 104 after almost losing HECTIC to a Zigzagoon, I caught another Poochyena called SLOPPY which came with a Pecha Berry.

Three battles later, SLOPPY died against a Marill. No one liked SLOPPY anyway. I went into Petalburg Forest and guess what I found? NAPPY the duhduhduh!!! Poochyena. Sadness.

Death to the Poochyena's! NAPPY died. Grrr! Hell Yeah! I finally got something that isn't Poochyena, and I now have RIPPAH the Nincada. And the dead bug isn't so good. R.I.P RIPPAH. I needed more pokemon so I went to Rusturf Tunnel and found a Whismur called WIZARD! It better not die. Yay I got the first badge and defeated the Team Aqua grunt.

Poor HECTIC got murdered by May's Mudkip and now im sad, three dead Poochyena's and one dead Nincada :(. I just saw a shiny Cascoon in Petalburg forst, but wont use it as it isn't my first pokemon there but I am going to keep it. I used my Old Rod to catch a Goldeen in Petalburg City and have named it KALDAS. I have caught a Magikarp in Dewford Town called GAZZA and I am going to train it soon. I am done for today and will update soonm, maybe today or tomorrow.

My Team is:

KALDAS / Goldeen Lv17: Horn Attack, Peck, Water Sport, Supersonic.
MEGAFOOT / Combusken Lv17: Ember, Double Kick, Cut, Peck.
WIZARD / Whismur Lv17: Uproar, Pound, Astonish, Howl.
GAZZA / Magikarp Lv5: Splash.

Dead:

SLOPPY / Poochyena Lv5
NAPPY / Poochyena Lv6
RIPPAH / Nincada Lv8
HECTIC / Poochyena Lv17

Ok, so I grinded like forever and challenged Wattson. The result:
Spoiler:


(Illumise)

(Sableye)


(Persian)


(Jigglypuff)

Which means...
Spoiler:


...That all I have left are a Skitty, 2 Magikarps and a Gyarados. Yeah, I'm screwed. No way I'm going to win this.
But seriously, I did A TON of grinding, and still get wiped by a ****ing Manectric? Whoever made this hack can go to hell. These games are supposed to be fun, not grindfests.

I caught Stingy the Tentacool on Route 107 but died while I was training it so oh well. I then headed over to Granite Cave and caught a Zubat called Zoomba. On Route 106 I caught Flappy the Magikarp with my old rod and have put in in the PC for backup. After training all of my pokemon to level 18, i got to Brawly after losing Zoomba and Megafoot and the got owned by his Makuhita leaving only Flappy, aka, I lose. :(

Is this thread still open? If so I'd like to start a Sapphire Nuzlocke run. I've never done Nuzlocke before so I'll probably update regularly and keep a detailed log of everything I do.

EDIT: No response, so I figured I'd start anyway and post the first chapter of my first Nuzlocke adventure :)


CHAPTER 1 – Leaving Littleroot

- Called myself Locke, moved into my new place

- Started up Route 101, found Professor Birch being chased by a Pokemon

- Picked Mudkip out of his bag, took out the Poochyena with no trouble. I chose Mudkip because even though I like Torchic best of the Gen III starters, I wanted a chance against the first Gym, and I don’t like Treecko much.

- Prof Birch gave me the Mudkip, which I named Crash. Serious nature… Good to know, because I have a feeling this game will get pretty serious…

- Headed up Route 101, suddenly becoming aware of how nervous the tall grass made me feel

- Took a deep breath, and headed into my first patch of grass in my first ever Nuzlocke challenge… hoped I’d make it through safely, but as I reached the last square of grass, was attacked by a lv.3 Zigzagoon

- Beat Zigzagoon after he Growled repeatedly, but was annoyed that I wouldn’t be able to catch a Route 101 Pokemon

- Headed up to Oldale town with no further battles, healed, sold my only Potion (not gonna be using it!)

- Headed up to Route 103, attacked again by a lv.4 Zigzagoon (damnit, no catching Pokemon on Route 103 either!)

- Zigzagoon took Crash down to 8/20 health – Growling 6 times made it difficult to finish the bugger off!

- Crash hit level 6 and learned Mud Slap. Suddenly I remembered that the Physical/Special split didn’t exist in Gen. III. I’ll need to get used to that again…

- Headed back to Oldale town, healed up, then set off for Route 103, looking for May

- Reached May… she attacked! Her Treecko started off with Leer, which made me nervous. Mudkip used Tackle, scored a Critical hit to put my mind a bit more at ease. Treecko used Pound. My heart was in my mouth – I had no idea how much damage to expect after the Leer earlier… phew, only 5 damage. Another Tackle and Treecko’s down to 1 HP. Another Pound and another Tackle and Crash has beaten Treecko with 12/22 HP remaining! Even better, he’s up to lv.7! Make that 14/24 HP remaining…

- Back to Oldale to heal up. May mentioned going back to her dad’s lab for something… maybe I’ll follow her… I meet her by Route 101, she tells me to hurry home. Will do! I jump all the fences and reach Littleroot Town again unscathed.

- Straight to the lab to meet May and Birch – he tells me beating May is quite an achievement as she has an extensive history as a trainer. Obviously not that extensive as Treecko, her only Pokemon, is only lv.5…

- Birch gives me a Pokedex, and May challenges me to finish it before her. Probably not going to happen, that. She gives me some Pokeballs though, which is nice. Off to get some backup for poor lonely Crash!

- On the way, chatted to Mum, who gave me running shoes. About time; did she let me walk about barefoot before?!

- Back out to Route 101. Can’t catch anything here, so ran straight through, and avoided all wild Pokemon. Straight to the Mart to buy my 10 Pokeball allowance – plus a free Premier Ball. Next stop, Route 102!

Short update here - not had much playtime.


CHAPTER 2 – Into the big wide world

- Headed onto Route 102. First Pokemon I ran across was, thankfully, not a Zigzagoon. Instead it was a lv. 3 female Poochyena, Sassy nature. Promptly caught her and named her Pepper. She was a bit behind Crash so I decided to stay around and level her up a bit before heading any further.

- Levelled Crash up to 10, when he learned Water Gun. Nice! Pepper learned Howl at lv. 6. Kept grinding for a while, rushing back to the Oldale Pokemon Centre every now and then with my tail between my legs when I got critted. Realised how much I like the music on Route 102! Also, turns out wild Lotad are a real bonus for Pepper – only damaging attack is Astonish, which is not very effective against Dark types, and give 42 whole XP!

- Survived a hairy moment when a rogue crit from a wild Wurmple took Pepper down to just 3HP. Scraped through though and headed back to heal.

- Got Pepper to lv.8, had to turn off for now. Next up, I’ll head down Route 102 proper, and brave the Bug Catchers!
