Cynthia's Garchomp in particular scares me.
Give that Gyarados Avalanche, and you'll have Garchomp on toast. Nuff said. Seriously.

What's your username on the official Nuzlocke forum? I'm Sammuthegreat there too. I'll keep a beady eye out for your comics... I'm supposedly working on my first comic, of a Sapphire run I did a while back, but life keeps getting in the way at the moment. I'm planning to tie the plot for my Sapphire run in with my more recent Pearl run... if I ever get round to drawing more.

Slightly more on-topic... I'm going to do a run pretty soon on Black or White. Oh yes.

I finally figured out the whole plot for the comics.

The order will now be Black -> Platinum -> Firered -> Ruby -> Heartgold

...And it will include amnesia, reliving memories, and beatin' up the bad guys.

Eh, it's kind of mid-challenge (so probably a bit late to be posting this), but here's my team on Black at the moment.

Dandeecott (Whimsicott) Lv.37
Dharchar (Darmanitan) Lv.36
Swanduce (Swanna) Lv. 35
Aractic (Galvantula) Lv.36
Roquette (Gigalith) Lv.30

Had a few losses here and there, including my starter, Slythe, the Servine, who, after defeating Elesa almost completely by himself, lost to a toddler's Herdier in the double battle west of Nimbasa. +1 atk. helping hand boosted critical hit Take Down took it down in one hit. Fail.

Ah, thanks. I've never even used the move Avalanche so I hadn't thought of that. Great idea, Sushi's already close to level 60 so she should make that a snap. As for the forum, I haven't actually joined that but my username'll probably be "Graphing Mercury" or some variation (long story as to how I came up with that), and I named my player character Mercury as a play on that and the Galactic admin names.

I have a mostly free day today so I'm hoping to get some good grinding in.

UPDATE! (sorta)

Ok, so here's how Dempsy died. Crit haxx from a Shroomish. I caught Mr. Camel and Mrs. Camel (Numels) from the route above Maulville and fiery path. Mrs. is a backup should the worst happen.

I am sad to say that I will not continue writting the story (I'm lazy)

I might not have mentioned, but I started a Nuzlocke challenge on Firered. I just entered Mt. Moon and my team is Puny the Squirtle, Pajaro the Spearow, Pekenese the Rattata, and Hawkeye the Nidoran Male. I have one casualty, Deathfang the Rattata, and two missed catches (Weedle in Viridian Forest and Clefairy at Mt. Moon (I forgot I was Nuzlocking).

UPDATE!

First things first: Mr. Camal is not from route 111, but from 112. Route 113 (I think?) is a Spinda, the next route a Seedot (major headesk there lol). Meteor Falls is Sunny the Solrock.

Maxie went down nicely, but I almost lost Torch to Golbat.

Firey Path get issssssssssssssss

Numel :(

Flannery went down easily, but at what cost? Mr. Camel to be exact. After that, Egg get and goggles get. Route 111 get is Kasi the Cacnea (I'm not sure of the gender)

Yeah so mostly garbage pokemon gets.

Another Mistake: That third Numel is from Jagged Path, not fiery path.

Ok I beat Norman fairly easily with mach punch, counter (wish I could have seen his face after that lol), and double kick.

After recieving surf, I went on a mon catching frenzy. I got:

Bob the Marill from Petalburg
Ron the Wingull from south of Petalburg
Jult the Voltorb from New Mauville
The Man the Electrike from east of Mauville

After some training, Torch, The Man, and Ron all Evolved. Now I am heading towards Fortree town.

The Fallen:

Dempsy the Aron
Mr. Camel the Numel
_________________

Update 2:

Training on my way to Fortree, then destroying Team Magma. Couldn't take Castform, I screwed up catching an oddish. Mass grinded The Man and taught Ron Ice Beam. Winona was a complete joke. Ice beam for Altaria and OHKO thunderbolt for everything else. A little south from Fortree, one Milotic was wreaking havoc on my team. Mushi was dying faster than he was killing, so a switch to The Man seemed in order. Which would've been fine, had water pulse not been a critical. Ugh rest in peace The Man.

Further south, I was getting more bad luck slammed onto me. Linoones Linoones everywhere. And not a single catch either. However, I did manage to obtain a Duskull at Mt. Pyre. The grunts up there were ok. The Magma Base was easy also. I decided to challenge the Mossdeep gym. Only one fatality though, Ziggy 2. Thanks for the rare candies gal. Had to use her to divert Phsycic attack.

The Fallen:

Dempsy, the Aron
Mr. Camel, the Numel
The Man, the Manectric
Ziggy 2, the Zigzagoon
__________________

Update 3:

After defeating the Mossdeep gym I went around the random water areas till I found a 'Cool. Underground, Maxie was defeated, and Groudon scared off. Groudon fell to a critical surf, lol. Mushi took care of all the trainers in the Sootopolis gym, and all of Wallace's pokemons except for Milotic, which was taken care of by Ron.

Before tackling Victory Road, some massive training needed to occur. Each of my main team members was grinded to about level 50 via the interviewers. After that, Victory Road was incredibly easy. Wally was easy, but a critical physcic almost took down Ron, I must have been sweating bullets.

So for next time, I'm gunna try to get everyone to level 55 for the Elite Four and Steven. What scares me the most is Glacia. None of my team can withstand a powerfull ice attack.

The Fallen:

Dempsy, the Aron
Mr. Camel, the Numel
The Man, the Manectric
Ziggy 2, the Zigzagoon
__________________

Final Update:

After some major grinding, I finally challenged the E4. BIG MISTAKE. Sydney and Phoebe went smoothly, but Glacia wiped the floor with my team. I figured that Torch could OHKO Walrein with 2 Xspecials but nope. Lost him and Ron in that battle, but Mushi took the rest out. Drake was going nicely, untill a critical flamethrow wrecked Mushi and that was that.

I'm gunna try either Fire Red or Silver next.

Rules:
1: pokemon faints blah blah blah

And suddenly...updates!




Well, after a long absence of challenges in my life, I decided to pick up my XL and get nuzlocking. My last save had left me in Azalea Town, the Rockets and my rival, dealt with, I did, however, had to go up against Bugsy and his fearsome Scyther. Juliet, my faithful Hoothoot decided to go for some late-night grinding, in preparation for the jaws of death.In doing so, she managed to evolve into a wise and powerful Noctowl. Juliet proceeded to wall all of Bugsy's Pokemon and earn me a hive badge. Following, that my two eggs hatched and Fen the Togepi, as well as Vulcan the Bagon joined the team. I progressed through the game, putting the newlyhatched ones in daycare, and grinding Juliet and Tracey. I decided to stop by the game corner, or what used to be the game corner and decided to play some voltorb flip. I took the game quite seriously, not as I had played prior to today, and ended up making it to Round 7 easily, before retiring to purchase and Ekans, which I named "Wiggyboom". Wiggyboom was quite the valiant partner, growing in level, kicking ass, and taking names. Wiggyboom, did, however, run into a fearsome Magmar, with the same level as its own. Alas, Wiggy could not survive a critical hit ember attack and ended up dying a painful death. The team pushed on, motivated by their memory of a lost friend. Tracey exhibited a valiant effort in making short work of Whitney and her unholy cow. And thus, the team continued their journey.

The Team:

Spoiler:

Tracey (M) Lv. 26; good perserverance; Cut/Reflect/Magical Leaf/PoisonPowder
Juliet (F) Lv. 23; Somewhat Vain; Tackle/Peck/Confusion/Hypnosis
Vulcan (M) Lv. 21; Highly Curious; Bite/Leer/Headbutt/Focus Energy
Fen (M) Lv. 24; Alert to sounds; Sweet Kiss/Yawn/Encore/Follow Me
Trickster (F) Lv. 12; Somewhat Stubborn; Poison Sting/Leech Life/Scary Face/Constrict
Brad (M) lV. 12; Quick to flee; Leer/Peck/Focus Energy/Double Kick



The Boxed

Spoiler:
Derpie/Caterpie-Lv. 10


The Deceased

Spoiler:
Poison/Rattata-Lv. 4 (F)
Wiggyboom/Ekans-Lv. 16 (F)

Yeah, so, umm, update.

First of all I renamed the majority of my team. For a recap, here's everyone:

Gatr-Crocanaw
Romeo-(Shiny) Pidgeotto
Juliet-Nidorina
Willow-Drowzee
Sandman-Geodude

Grinded lots of levels. Beat Whitney. Went to Eucatreak then back to Goldenrod for an Eevee. Named Nick. Grinded large quantities levels again.

Yup I got plans for Nick. Umbreon.

Edit: Lost to Morty. Now I feel stupid.

Maybe Fire red

Miserable fail on Black.

Spoiler:
So, after getting my Trio Badge I headed out on Route 3. I was all excited to catch a Pidove. After beating Cheren, the first Pokemon I found was a Pidove Lv. 12! Too bad Norma OHKO'd it with Tackle.

In training Norma, we ran into an Audino who did nothing but heal itself. Norma used Bide and then Audino decided suddenly to use TWO doubleslaps in a row, both hitting five times and killing Norma. Oh well, I didn't like her much anyway after she killed the Lillipup and Pidove I wanted to catch.

Some Team Plasma dudes stole some girl's Pokemon, so I went into Wellspring Cave to get it back. I caught a male Roggenrola level 13 named Pierre and pwned the Plasmas.

I got through the rest of Route 3 easily after that.

After arriving in Nacrene, I went to Pinwheel Forest. I caught myself a female Timburr level 12 named Annie, but she got killed by a Munna in her first battle. Wonk.

I trained a lot here, Pierre got some good levels and Heather evolved into Pignite, but Forrest took two criticals from a 3-hit rock blast from some guy's Roggenrola (it was already at yellow HP) and was unable to go on. Forrest was probably my favorite of all my Pokemon. He never let me down (sniffle....) when I go to Celestial Tower I'm burying him on the top floor.

After doing away with N (except his Tympole gave me trouble because Pierre and Heather are both weak to water) I headed into the Nacrene Gym. Scared to lose Pierre and Heather, I had avoided most of the trainers in Pinwheel Forest and both Pokemon were only level 18 by the time I got to Lenora. Heather took a number from Herdier's Take Downs but managed to pull through, and she leveled up to level 19. Pierre took much damage from Watchog's Crunch and was fatally injured. Heather, at red HP, was my last chance. I healed her with a Potion, but it wasn't quite enough. Heather got critted and she, too, was lost.

So here I am with no Pokemon left. I guess this ends my Nuzlocke Challenge. I wasn't all that great. I will venture to the Graveyard Tower (be it Lavender, Solaceon, or whatever) on my other Pokemon games but for now, my shortlived Nuzlocke is finished. Maybe I should try Pokebro instead.....

Dunno whether it's worth mentioning, but I've made it through Blue and Gold on nuzlocke before. I don't remember the Gold run very well, but the Red run was memorable because I grinded a Tentacruel to level 75 over a period of 5 hours before fighting the Elite Four, and it died due to a critical hit from Blue's Ninetails at the last battle. It survived a monstrous 3 Hyper Beams from Lance's Gyarados (turns out that Tentacruel learns next-to-nothing to hit Gyarados with), and championed its way through all the dragons with Ice Beam. This challenge was especially memorable because I used no healing/status items at all during the run.

I'm going to start a SoulSilver Nuzlocke next weekend, and I'm hoping to get a Noctowl and some other mons I've never used. The first post made me curious to start a Coloseum/XD run; has anyone ever done one of those before? How would it work, as far as catching goes?
