I just read the original Nuzlocke comics and they're awesome xD
Left with a sudden urge to play this challenge. Might go slightly slow since I can't get on my computer much, and I'm also doing a Ultimate monotype challenge xP
But I'll try a slowly make my way through it.
I'll do it on Pokemon Gold, starting it now ;3

I’ve just defeated Wattson, who stole all of my potions but my team did well, with a few paralysed Pokémon.

Day 4
Spoiler:
I helped out Wanda in Rusturf Tunnel and started to head north from Mauville and took on the TV guys. I crushed them pretty fast as their team was so weak and then headed north to get another Pokémon and kill a couple of trainers. On Route 112, I caught Molten the Male Numel and headed back to the PC to swap out Whistler for Molten and to grind Molten. In Fiery Path, I accidentally killed a wild Koffing, so I just carried on. I used my 4 Rare Candies on Molten to evolve him into a Camerupt and he now has Rock Slide. On Route 113, I caught a Slugma called Blaze and continued on to Fallarbor. On Route 114, I found Lalana the male Lotad, I boxed him and carried on. In Meteor Falls, Racer got a OHKO on the wild Zubat who appeared first there. After Team Aqua scared off the Team Magma grunts, I left south to Rustboro City. I beat all of Team Magma quickly and decided to go down to Jagged Pass. I went into Lavaridge and healed my team, but then went back on to Jagged Pass to catch a wild Pokémon and grind. On Jagged Pass, I accidentally used Magnitude and killed a wild Numel, Damn, but I’m going to start grinding. I realised that Dusty was much weaker than the rest of my team, so I will use 5 Pokémon until I can get a Pokémon from Route 111. After my Team was level 33, I owned all of the trainers with Molten and prepared for Flannery.

I opened with Molten, and she opened up with a Numel, I got a OHKO with a Magnitude 6, and she sent out a Slugma, which also got OHKO’d by Rock Slide. Then came her Camerupt. I went in with a Magnitude, hoping for the best and I got a Magnitude 5! Her Camerupt attracted Molten, but I continued with Magnitude and got a 7, finishing Camerupt off. Her Torkoal fell to two Magnitudes, the first a 7, and the second a 6, and Flannery fell. I got the Go-Goggles and headed into the desert to get my Route 111 Pokémon.

I was hoping for a Trapinch, but I found a Baltoy and named it Blade. I deposited it and went to the daycare and put Cannon in my team, who is now level 25, I just need to level her up once so that she evolves. Instead of grinding, I used my Rare Candy and she evolved into Cannon the Gyarados. I taught Cannon Ice Beam with my Game Corner money and headed down to Petalburg. On the way there, I did two of the Trick House Puzzles, and then carried on. In Petalburg Gym, Cannon got OHKO’d by a Delcatty using Shock Wave, so that was a shock to me, I’ll miss you Cannon, the Pokémon I barely used, my first loss. At the PC, I took out Wrestle to make the gym a bit easier. Wrestle then died to a Wigglytuff using Double-Edge. I took out Whistler my other Loudred and prepared for war against my father’s gym. I hate this gym. Whistler’s death made me feel sad for a loss and I realised something. I need to grind more. I took out Blaze the Slugma and headed to Mauville. I am grinding on Route 111 in the desert but I am stopping for today.

WOAH! That was ALLOT larger then how I thought it was, just editing it into a spoiler ;P
Spoiler:
Ok so I started my journey on Gold version and named myself Aids xP
I received a Totodile =D I nicknamed him *wait for it* "Roy" =DDDD
Made my way to the first town where I met some guy, with freebies =D
Gots a pokedex from Oak ;3
Ran into some guy with uber effectiveness pokemon D: But I still beat him =D
Still, I would've died without my held berry, so I had one of those mini-heart attacks, time to catch my new team and grind abit so they hopefully don't die.
Since I'm called Aids, named my rival NHS ;D
And the first pokemon I come across in the first route? A level 2 Hoothoot >.> Which I caught with relative ease...BUT..forget to nickname D: RELEASE
Went into that further route bit that connects New bark with Blackthorn, first pokemon: A level 2 rattata >.> What isit with this game a low levels for me D:
Caught Rattata and named him "Babs" =D
Went to the route that leads to Mr.Pokemons House, first encounter - A level 3 Spinarak! Something exciting (Never trained one before)
Caught Spinarak and named him "Bludclot"
So for now, Babs and Bludclot joined the team =D
Reached Route 31 and first encounter, Bellsprout level 3.
Caught Bellsprout and named "Moss"
Moss joined the team.
Went into Union cave, first encounter, Zubat level 2.
Caught Zubat and called him "Douglas"
Five pokemon before the first gym =O
Unfortunately Moss died during early grinding agaisnt a rattata D:
RIP MOSS
Also during grinding, Roy suffered a bad poisoning, a while away from a pokemon centre, but racing there, I reached it before he died xO
Met a wild gastly in sprout tower =D Caught Gastly and named "Phume"
For now, boxed Phume.
Defeated loadsa monks and an elder =D Gots myself a Hm 8]
Grinding my team to level 13, I challenge Falkner, hoping all my pokemon stay intact.
Defeated Falkner with much ease, killing his Pidgey in one hit with Douglas' Bite and then using his supersonic on Pigeotto, then switching out to Babs, who was quick to finish Falkner with a Hyperfang.
Aids and the gang left the gym with the first badge, the first of many.
Got an Egg from my Ol' Buddy Ol' Pal Profeesor Elm, boxed immediately.
First pokemon encounter on the route leading the that cave, was a level six Bellsprout D: MEMORIES of Moss and what could've been Dx Caught to use a Cut slave =D
Went into Union cave, first encounter, Geodude level 6.
Caught Geodude, forget to nickname, Released....What a waste D,:
Roy evolved into a CROCONAW and kicks even more ass P:
First encounter outside of Union was ANOTHER Ratatta D:
Teamed with Kurt, the injured ball maker >.> I take on team rocket =D
Time for some Parr'age.
First encounter in Slowpoke well was another Zubat :/
Another mini-heart attack when the twins' Ledyba almost beat Bludclot =O But he, and the team are fine, I'm just nervous for the rest of the gym now :x
But it seems the nerves were un-needed, I defeated Bugsy with Douglas alone, Biting his Kakuna and Metapod to death and and Supersonic'ing his Scyther, then returning to Bite spam.
Although Douglas had scarily low Hp, he made me proud :,D
Encountered the NHS before leaving, trying to stop Aids D:
Defeated his Gastly and Zubat with Douglas and Bayleef with Babs, but babs was left with 1HP! Now that's what I call cuttin' it close ;P
First pokemon encounter in Ilex forest was a Oddish, which I nicknamed Flidd =D
Flidd joined the team =D And did some grinding to catch up P:
Decided to grind Flidd way over-leveled cause it's easy to grind him in Union cave, since almost all the pokemon die after one Absorb.
Flidd evolved into a Gloom =D
Finished Grinding Flidd at Level 23, decided to grind Roy to the same level.
Ground Babbs to level 20, and he evolved into my next powerhouse, a Raticate.
Ground Douglas to level 22, and he evolved into another pokemon I'll use often, Golbat.
Hatched Togepi, nicknamed "Bootlikk"
Boxed Bootlikk.
Decided I'd done quite enough grinding for today.
Helped return some guys lost Farfecth'd and got a Cut hm :D
Taught my Bellslave Cut.
Gots a Headbutt Tm ;D
Taught Babs Headbutt.
First encounter on the route leading up to Goldenrod was a level 12 Drowzee, nicknamed "Opax"
Deposited Bellslave, withdrew Opax.
Defeating the trainers in the area, Bludclot evolved into Ariados =D
First pokemon encountered at the route just before national park and after Goldenrod was a level 10 Ditto, caught and named Guu.
Left Phume and Bootlikk with the Daycare couple.
Decided to take a break from my Nuzlocke challenge and save before entering the Goldenrod gym and Whitney.

:t274::t274::t274:So many updates today... I'm just going to hop on the bandwagon and post one as well. With Nuzleaf smilies for attentionwhoring.:t274::t274::t274:
Spoiler:

Taught Makuhita the Hariyama the waste of a move slot that is Rock Smash (unless you're Dunsparce of course), but not for Tackle, but for Sand-Attack. Why? Because most of the time Arm Thrust/Vital Throw will still do more damage anyways.
So, I moved on and caught Mr.Humpy - except that the RNG spat out the name Alba. Awesome. Even got me a free berry.
Fiery Path... I was hoping for Grimer or Machop (or not, since those bastards keep killing my Pokemon) and get...Slugma (called Catalin). Not quite as awesome as Numel. To the Box!
So I grinded Alba the Numel until Magnitude and then proceeded to clear Cycling Road which I had forgotten about until then. Easy work.
Continued marching towards Fallarbor. At some point I accidentally let Numel in against a Wailmer for one turn - and nothing happened. Whew.
Next route. Caught Somalior the Spinda. Meh.
Somewhere on the route, Cinzia finally evolved into Manectric.
Next route. Swablu. :shocked: Caught and saved.


The team...

...the box...

...and the dead (Huang ;_; ) :

Sorry I haven't been updating... I keep telling myself I'm going to make more comics, and then I don't.... I'm at Victory Road, and the only person I lost was Sentinel the Pelliper, but I caught another one (which I aptly named Jesus), so it's all good. I also caught an Absol, so my final team is going to be...

So, I decided I might try to get a TM or two from the game corner, and to save money I tried the slots. Havent done that for years. And damn, even with A-button-Autofire+Speed Up Toggle+-button-mashing (cannot use Autofire on this one), it's PAINFUL. So far, I've managed to get from 20 gift coins up to a bit more than 1000, but it took ETERNALLY. Is there any better way to speed the coin amassing process up?

  • Went through the intro stuff, got Mudkip, named it Ian.
  • Ran through Route 101 hoping not to encounter anything, got lucky and didn't.

  • Hopped down, got my Pokedex, blah blah.
  • Went to Route 101, first Pokemon was a Wurmple. Caught it, named it Taylor.
  • Grinded Taylor to level 10, where he evolved from Cascoon to Dustox.
  • Proceeded to Route 104, found a Lotad, caught it, named in Mirror B (For obvious reason xD)
  • Grinded Mirror to level 10, took on all the trainers, etc.
  • Wally event
  • Moved on to Route 105, found a Poochyena, caught it, named it Calvin, boxed him.
  • Went into the forest, found another Wurmple, just defeated it.
  • Went through Petalburg Woods, proceeded on, and found a Wingull, named it Zazu, and boxed it.
  • Went through Rustboro, went to the next route and caught a Nincada, named it Noob, kept it for a temporary cut slave.
  • Went into Rusturf Tunnel, caught a Whismur, named it Rachel, grinded it up to 16 along with Ian, Mirror, and Taylor.
  • Defeated Roxanne and May, went to Dewford.
  • Went into cave, found a Zubat, just killed it.
  • Met Steven, gave letter, etc.
  • Beat Brawly with Taylor alone, moved onto Slateport.
  • Boxed Taylor, as it had served his purpose and might be useful later.
  • Caught a Minun on the next route, named her Cuddles (SHE'S SO CUTE), and grinded her up to 20 along with the rest of my team.
  • Defeated May, went through the rest of the route, and saved in Mauville.
