Almost forgot about my side run on Pearl here, because Brown was so much more interesting and here my latest grinding period dragged on and dragged on. But, yesterday I made quite some progress and got the Surf HM.
Therefore, next is Fantina so I can actually use that HM. But, before that I'll have to do some grinding, since I can only use 3 Pokemon of my team against her (Obviously not Misdreavus, and also not Whiscash, since that Mismagius has Magical Leaf)

Update: Beat Fantina, she was a pain. No one of my guys died, but it was pretty close twice. Beat my rival somewhere as well, it was easy. Next: Canalave gym. RandomFish is going to level A LOT here.

Ok, I managed to sweep the Canalave gym by only using Whiscash, and then did some grinding to let the rest of my Pokemon catch up. Everyone is level 40 or 41 now.
BUT, because I'm selling my DS soon, I'm doubting I will be able to finish this. I thought I would be able to play enough to finish this quickly, but I didn't.
This sucks, because this has been my best Nuzlocke run so far. Only 2 deaths, none of them were important, and I have built up a great team over the time. I have only 3 days left to finish this, and it's unlikely that I'll manage it. Especially because the most tedious part of the game, Mount Coronet, is still ahead. Even if I manage to play with no further deaths (->less grinding), this will be a very hard race against the time.

I'd like to post and say I'm currently doing a Nuzlocke Challenge.
I've gone quite the way through it, I'm currently after my 7th badge. It's how I discovered this site actually, because I was showing my friend the challenge and he ended up reading your rules.

I've been logging everything I've caught, where I've caught it and everything. So I'll get that all down at some point but I'll say the rules I used first.

I started my challenge with one of my flatmates. We both had the same rules, unfortunately he's now failed his challenge...
The rules we used:
1. Faint = Death
2. First Pokémon on a route is the only thing you can catch
3. 5 Pokéball limit. This isn't a limit to 5 each, 5 total. I currently have on my person (to help you better understand if you need to) x2 Ultra balls, x2 Dusk Balls and x1 Quick ball
4. No artificial medicines allowed. No potions, no full heals etc.
4.5. We can use natural medicine. Water and Moo Moo milk etc. But only a realistic amount that can be carried. 5 water, 2 moo moo milk etc.
5. You can only use your Rod and Honey trees once. It doesn't count as your route Pokémon, but you can only use each method to catch a Pokémon once in the game.

Because we were both playing through at the same time, we traded between our Nuzlocke games to evolve Pokémon like Haunter etc.

I'm currently playing through Diamond

I think trade evo's are okay. Though the only reason I did was because I was living with someone else doing the challenge. So it was sorta more fair

Hmmm, I just might play through Pearl version, if I can manage to find it. It's been a long time since I've did a death run, and this sounds...Interesting, to say the least.

Hmm, sounds interesting. Count me in.

I will be playing... Pearl version. Assuming No$ is working correctly. Otherwise it'll have to be a GBC/GBA game.


UPDATE; Checked the first gym, and consequently chosen PIPLUP as a started. Will update again after obatining the Coal badge.

I advise training your Intire team to lvl 16 or 15 before fighing him because that will really help you in the future.

Yeah iv heard of this. I know some ppl doing it. Its a good challenge extremly hard.
Im going to do it on SS now :P
