(Long time no update, whoops!) Painfully ground Abra up to Lv. 16 before challenging Brawly. I wanted to save Kadabra for his last, so I sent out my starter. Unfortunately, Brawly got two crits in a row and down I went. :( Whismur managed to take down his Makuhita before falling herself to a third crit. I sent out Kadabra against Machop, and oneshotted it. Meditite came out. I took out slightly more than half his health, and he hit me with something that took out more than half my health. I used a Potion, but disaster struck when he chose that turn to Focus Punch. Critical hit..... and Kadabra died. :( My others were so much lower levelled I didn't stand a chance. Meditite decimated my team completely.

Challenge fail.

T.T

It's a personal rule of mine that whenever I fail a challenge, I have to switch games. So I'm kicking it old school and firing up my Japanese Green. :) Starting with Squirtle.

My challenge is over already... -.-

While defeating all the trainers along route 3, Nidoran was killed by Jigglypuff... Disheartened, I managed to push on. (Luckily Bugsy had evolved into Beedrill prior!) I then caught a spearow who I called Buuuurd, and added to my team. But then disaster struck in Mt. Moon. I was defeated by that Clefairy! I started off with Buuuurd so it could gain so experience, but the Clefairy was to strong so I switched out to Bugsy.... who was immediately put to sleep and pounded to near death. I decided to switch out AGAIN to Bubbles who I was sure would take it out. Wrooooong. My attacks did almost to nothing damage, and I was put to sleep. At this point, I knew at least one member would have to die. It was Bubbles. After Bubbles fainted I switched out to Buuuurd (as Bugsy had low health and was asleep) who gave a worthy effort but ultimately died. I then had no choice but to chuck out Bugsy who died instantly. Darn, I should've packed more potions...

Final Team:
Buuuurd/Spearow Lv7
Bugsy/Beedrill Lv13
Bubbles/Squirtle Lv14

Ps. I still have a Rattata in my PC, but at Lv4? Not worth it.

Pss. Fun Fact; every member in my final team's name begins with the letter 'B'!

I'll be restarting on Emerald soon...

Started off on Green. Beat my rival by a crit, trained up on Rt 1. When Sheller hit 9 I went across to route... 22? I think. Caught a Nidoran Female. Then went up to Rt 2 and caught a Pidgey. Currently grinding before going into the Forest. Nidoran's going to be my go-to gal, since she can't be poisoned. :)

Current team:
Sheller the Lv. 10 Squirtle
Nids the Lv. 7 Nidoran F
Flutter the Lv. 4 Pidgey

Got past Nugget Bridge.
Also, I've decided that I'm playing with the variation rule that says that instead of just going after the first Pokemon on a route, you go after the first NON-DUPLICATE Pokemon on a route. Because I was undecided, then I encountered another Weedle and realized that having duplicates was a stupid idea.

Spoiler:

George evolved into a Beedrill.
Beat Brock.
Adam evolved into an Ivysaur.
Route 3: Caught Penny, a female Mankey.
Mount Moon: Caught Quinn, a female Zubat.
Got through Mount Moon.
Route 4: Caught Sawyer, a female Sandshrew.
Taught Sawyer Rock Tomb using the TM.
Grinded some.
Beat Misty's trainers (but not her).
Grinded some more.
Battled my rival. Won, but lost my Sandshrew, Sawyer, to his Charmander's Ember.
Beat the Nugget Bridge trainers.
Route 24: Caught Zimbabwe, a male Caterpie.
Zimbabwe evolved into a Metapod.

Brewds567 Thanks for the help man i appreciate it. Ok here is the Introduction. I know it might not be good but i would like y'alls Opinion on it.

Spoiler:
INTRODUCTION
It was 7:54pm at night and the young girl from New Bark Town was already ready to leave on her Pokemon Journey. She wanted to catch up with her Best Friend, Risa from Golden Rod City who already had all 8 badges. “I'll be a better Pokemon trainer then her, I know I will.” She started walking downstairs to leave to professor Elms, when her mom stopped her. “Erica, Professor Elm needed to ask you a favor” Erica sighed and annoyance. “I am going there anyway Mom!” The Mom then smiled and said “By the way, do you have everything you need to go out?” Here use this bag to carry things. And here is your Trainer Card” She then went back to sit down.


Weird” She thought and then started to walk outside. Then her Marill walked towards Erica and she noticed her best friend Ethan and he just jumped up and walked off. “Can things get my Weirder?” She said out loud to her self and then started walking to professor elms. He started telling me about his research and talking about Pokeballs and all that good stuff. He also told me about how Pokemon like walking outside there pokeballs.


Then finally he let me get a Pokemon! I went ahead and picked Chikorita and named him Echo. I then started walking to Mr. Pokemon's house and started Training Echo. Then Ethan started being annoying again and I blocked him out and started on my Journey after showing mom my pokemon and giving me my poke gear. I am currently fighting in training as I am heading to Mr. Pokemon's house. I have gotten Echo on Level 8. I made it to Mr. Pokemon's house and got an egg and met Profesor Oak who gave me his number and the pokedex.

Then I began to leave as I got a phone call that someone a incident has happen. It gives me the instinct to grind a bit more, being worried for what might happen. So after some more grinding I started heading back to New Bark Town when a guy with red hair ran into me. “Ow!” I yelled and looked at the person. He scoffed at me and said “You got a pokemon at the lab. What a waste. That's a pokemon thats too good for a wimp like you. ...Don't you get what I'm saying?” I stayed quiet and growled as he tried to degrade me. “Well, I too have a good pokemon. I'll show you what I mean!”


That is when the mysterious trainer pushed me away and sent out his Cyndaquil. Echo was al ready out to battle this guy believing this is the person who Elm was going all crazy about. I defeated him quickly and he then pushed me out the way saying he was going to be the best Pokemon Trainer there ever was. He then realized he dropped his trainer card. He came back for it and swiped it out my hand. I tried to slap him but he ran away. After that I quickly headed to New Bark Town and Professor Elm and a police man was there. I told them what happen and the person's name was Silver. The cop left and then Professor Elm started talking asking me and telling me to go on my journey and become a Pokemon Champion. That is when I started walking to Violet City to start my Journey.

After I got to Route 9, I caught Groufon the Rattata. On Route 10 I found yet another Spearow, and I killed him. Two backups is enough.
I evolved Failkein and Molette to their final forms so I could get and use HM Flash.
Caught Boosh the Machop in Rock Tunnel
At route 8, I caught a Pidgey. I was hoping for a Growlithe, so that's what I named it.
Grabbed Kyle the Eevee at Celadon and brought down Team Rocket at the Game Corner. Hawkeye had a close call against Kangaskhan.
At some point before Rocket Game Corner, Heinrick became a Vileplume.
Brought down Pokemon Tower, accidentally killing a Gastly that I could have caught. Stupid crits.
Puny had a close call against Marowak's Bonemerang, and Hawkeye had a close call against a Rocket's selfdestructing Koffing.
Captured Snorlax on route 12.
Also collected Aerodactyl fossil and Legento the Horsea from Vermillion.
Still only one casualty. RIP, Deathfang.

Oh I won by the way. My FireRed Challenge is complete and I've already started a SoulSilver run.

Neptune and Spiral destroyed Lorelei, Icarus basically soloed Bruno (although Spike stepped in to take out the second Onix). Icarus and Comet took out Agatha between them, Spike took out half of Lance's team before going down to a crit Outrage (as if that move needs a crit, haha). Neptune did the rest.

I led with Whiplash against Gary, and he took out Pidgeot before going down to a crit Hydro Pump from Blastoise. Loss #2 in the Elite Four - my least successful E4 Nuzlocke run so far. Neptune took out Alakazam, Icarus took out Exeggutor, Neptune took out Arcanine after a ridiculously long battle between Arcanine and Comet, then Neptune finished Blastoise off quickly with Thunderbolt.

I win.

Final team:
Spoiler:
Spiral Lv.56, female, Adamant - Brick Break, Body Slam, Substitute, Attract
Neptune Lv.57, male, Serious - Ice Beam, Surf, Thunderbolt, Psychic
Icarus Lv.58, male, Hasty - Dream Eater, Silver Wind, Sleep Powder, Safeguard
Comet Lv.60, male, Serious - Flamethrower, Dragon Claw, Brick Break, Blast Burn

I'm going to have a crack at a Ruby Nuzlocke, using rules1, 3, 4, 6 and 7 (maybe 8, if I get spare time).

Also, is the whole cave treated as one area, or each level, for example, the cave on Dewford has two levels (or is it three?), or the fiery path (so If I encountered and caught a torkoal, then went into the back area and got a bagon. Also, in game trades or free pokemon (Beldum?), are they allowed?

An entire cave is treated as one area. So you cannot get pokemon from different levels of the cave.

Also, I do believe that in-game trades and free pokemon are allowed (too late for me if it isnt), as long as it is the first pokemon you get in that city/route wherever you are. EG. In Celadon city, you can go and buy Abra at the game corner coin exchange, but then you cannot buy another pokemon there/get eevee in the mansion

Ok, thanks. I thought so, but I thought i'd make sure.

And, now for my first update.

Spoiler:
On her 13th birthday, Titania awoke, ready to begin her Pokemon adventure at last...

I bounced down the stairs, all set to get my very first pokemon. On the way, mum stopped me and told me to go and meet our next door neighbour, who had a kid my age. I sighed, "Fine", unhappy at this delay. We had just moved here to Littleroot town yesterday, and I was eager to get out already. Says a lot for the entertainment factor, doesn't it? So I headed next door, where I was informed that Brendan is upstairs. "Oh goody. A boy." He seemed to share my reaction, the misyogynistic pig. I quickly excused myself and hurried out. Upon arrival at the lab, I was disapointed to find Professor Birch was out. So I headed back out, and, hearing a commotion, headed to the outskirts of town, where I discovered Professor Birch under attack!

Grabbing a nearby pokeball, I released Mudkip, and beat down the Poochyena. Yes! Victory! Heading back to the lab, I received Mudkip, whom I nicknamed Jachimo. I then (unwillingly) went up and found Brendan, and proceeded to cream him. He sulked, then suggested we head back to the lab again, where I received a pokedex and 5 Pokeballs. Finally free, Jachimo and I dashed out, eager to meet some new friends. Straight away, we met a Zigzagoon on route 101, who we caught, and named Luciana. Continuing on, we met Mariana, a Wingull, on Route 103, and Miranda, a Wurmple, on route 102. However, disaster was around the corner. While we were training, an unlucky critical hit ended Miranda's journey. With heavy hearts, we moved on to Petalburg woods.

On the way, Aemilia, a Taillow, joined our family. Once we arrived, we met Mercutio, a Shroomish, and a useless Devon researcher, who hid behind my skirts while I took apart the Grunt bullying him "Take that, smelly grunt! Come back when you get a promotion!" I shouted after him. So, yet more training ensued, as I levelled Mercutio and Jachimo to face Roxanne. After they were sufficiently levelled, we went into Rustboro City, where I healed, stocked up on Pokeballs, for new friends, and Potions, for old ones. Then we went to see Roxanne. After waltzing through her followers, I faced her down with a Smug grin. And though things got hairy when a lucky critical hit left Jachimo on 1 hp, leaving Mercutio with the burden of finishing Nosepass, we survived, and I rightfully claimed my Stonebadge! Ha. Serves her right for using Rock pokemon. I stuck out my tongue as we left, then nearly bowled over that useless researcher as we were leaving... okay, running away from Roxanne's gym.

He informs me that his Devon Goods were stolen by that useless Grunt, and he wants me to get them back for him, because he's a useless pansy with no pokemon, and i'm super powerful. Well, kinda powerful, anyway. Well, we strolled on to Rusturf Tunnel, catching Balthasar, the Nincada, and victimising a few weak trainers along the way. Where's the harm in humiliting them a little? Just a little? Fine then, be that way. Well, where was I? Oh right. We arrived outside Rusturf Tunnel, where a devastated Mr. Briney told us how the useless grunt had snatched his darling Peeko. With the loss of Miranda, this made me mad. Stealing from a helpless old man! The nerve!

I marched right in, stopping only to catch a Whismur, whom I named Ursula, then, with Ursula safely in my PC (Still have no idea how that's even possible, but, whatever), we moved on to deal with that cowardly Grunt. As Luciana gave his Poochyena a piece of her mind, I yelled nasty things at the grunt until he decided to give in and gave back the Devon Goods before running off with his tail between his legs. Again. He really didn't learn much at Magma Grunt Training, did he Jachimo? Well, after delivering Peeko safely back to Mr Briney, we went back to Rustboro city to talk to the CO of Devon Corp, who thanked me for saving his employee (about time, I think) and I somehow got conned into Delivering the Devon goods to Slateport and a Letter to Steven at Dewford Town. But the CO gave me a PokeGear, so I suppose it was kinda worth it.

After much deliberation, I swapped Mariana for Ursula and made my way back through Petalburg woods to Mr Briney's adorable little cottage by the sea, where I shamelessly wheedle a free boat ride to Dewford and Slateport out of kind old Mr Briney. And off we went on a new adventure! Upon arriving in Dewford, I promptly dashed to Dewford Cave, where I caught a Makuhita (I was hoping for an Abra...), and named him Iago. A hard decision to box Luciana meant Iago was coming with us. But Aemilia was the focus this time, and I trained her up to destroy Brawly's Gym. And so, having trained her up, tonight we decided to rest in the Pokecenter, ready to challenge Brawly on the morrow! Well, bye all!
