my god, the carnage. were you underleveled or something. sacred gold has an uptick in difficulty too right?
YES. but that was the sprout tower man and i had a fire type in the right levels with me...
I thought:"what is the worst that can happen?"
THAT.

i think i got over it...i was just in an anime and manga convention yesterday and i bought some magic cards and stuff and was all thrilled and then when i come home and play...this happned.

:(

UPDATE:

-went to box the dead.
-got into the sprout tower and caught a meditite, female which i called Guru (this was a different floor, if it is not allowed please tell me)
-Guru, Epicgator and Derpeon died in the final bold guy before evolving your Eevee (i was extremely annoyed)

AND SO, I FAILED MY NUZLOCKE.....I WILL START A NEW ONE-

Lost. Got completely worked over by Wattson. My main team go clobbered on the way there and by Wally's Calm Minding Raltz and his Tri-Attacking Porygon. By the time I got to Wattson (and through his gauntlet of trainers), all it took was his Lvl 30. Amphoros to wipe out my team.

So now i'm restarting the Expert Emerald Challenge, and this time I'm being super cautious with it.

Nuzlocke Challenge: Pokemon Expert Emerald (Hack)*

*I just made one edit to Suicune's hack:
- Changed everyone's base stats and attack sets back to normal. I know it'll be harder but I'll live . . . maybe.

RULES
Spoiler:

Modified Rules:
Item/Pokecenter/Pokemart Rules:
a) Eye for an Eye Rule: I can only use an item in battle after the other trainer uses an item (no items outside of battle or versus wild Pokemon even if poisoned).
b) Stay Strapped Rule: I can equip berries/stat-boosting items (quick claw, soft-sand, etc)
c) Heal All You Want Rule: Unlimited Pokecenter visits (grinding is necessary)
d) One Stop Shop Rule: I can visit a Pokemart to purchase items only when I first enter that city, and no time after that

Miscellaneous Rules:
a) No Easy Switch Rule: Battle style is SET
b) No Gang Up Rule: If the opposing trainer has three pokemon, I can only use three pokemon until all three faint, then I can start using the others
c) No Punk Out Rule: No running for any wild pokemon ever
d) Can't Go Back Rule: When starting on a new route, I have to make it all the way until the new pokemon center before healing
e) Meet and Greet Rule: must battle at least one Pokemon per patch of grass when I first walk through a route. In other words, Pokemon must be caught before visiting next Pokecenter.
f) Gauntlet Rule: Cant leave the gym until I beat all the trainers and the leader
g) HM in Play Rule: HM's must be available for use on your team at all times. Moves can only be taught after appropriate badge is acquired. You can't go back to the Pokemon center to get an HM slave if you find yourself stuck, unless you release the last pokemon that you caught (penalty for breaking the Can't Go Back Rule)

Catching rules: Becaue of the variety in Expert Emerald, and because of the difficulty, I'm customizing the "one catch per route rule." Basically, the first pokemon I see is who I can catch, but instead of doing one per route, I do one per patch of grass/floor in cave/etc.
a) If i make the first pokemon faint in that patch of grass, then I can no longer catch any pokemon in that patch.
b) If the first pokemon I run into happens to be a dupe or an already fainted pokemon, I can no longer catch any pokemon in that patch.
c) If a route has 3 patches of grass, and I run into a Pidgey in the first patch and make it faint, then I can no longer catch the Pidgey on that same route if I run into it in the other two patches of grass (a Pidgey on a new route is fair game though).
d) No dupes
e) No replacing fainted Pokemon
f) Catch to Keep: No using gifted/traded/eventbased Pokemon
e) Shiny Stays Rule: Shiny's are permanently on the team and are not prone to the faint rule (personal reward, i've never ever gotten one)


My team so far before heading into Petalburg Woods:
Sentret - Lvl 12
Poochyena - Lvl 11
Poliwag - Lvl 13
Ralts - Lvl 7
Azurill - Lvl 14
Lotad - Lvl 12


Deceased Pokemon:
Pidgey - Level 3 to Level 3 (had to sacrifice either this or my higher-leveled Sentret against a lvl 4 Doduo)

Location (Caught): Missed Out On
Route 101 (Sentret, Pidgey): Zigzagoon
Route 103 (Poliwag): Bellsprout, Oddish, Doduo, Wingull, Hoppip

Pokemon Emerald Update 4:

-After arriving in Dewford Town, I caught a Magikarp and named him Blinky (after that fish from The Simpsons).
-Realizing that Prometheus was my best chance at beating Brawly, I did some training with him.
-I found a Zubat in Granite Cave, but accidentally killed it. Aww, could've been useful.
-Prometheus was killed thanks to a Meditite's bide in Brawly's gym. That sucks... A lot.
-My next best chance is was Hitmontree, so I continued on with him.
-After being forced into a double battle, Beats was killed by a critical hit. This is just terrible!
-While grinding, Ashton evolved into a Combusken. The first good news in a while.
-Ashton had learned Peck, so I led off with him.
-After about 3 Bulk Ups, Brawly's Makuhita ended up killing Hitmontree!
-Ashton ended up dying from another Vital Throw by Makuhita.

...

I only had one Pokemon left, Blinky the Magikarp. Makuhita was at very low health, paralyzed, and Leech Seeded so I might've been able to take him down. Blinky mustered up all of his strength and...

Did nothing. Because all he knew was Splash. Makuhita used one last Vital Throw and tragically ended Blinky's life.

Challenge Failed.

Deaths:


Prometheus (Ralts)
Died at Level 11


Beats (Whismur)
Died at Level 10


Hitmontree (Shroomish)
Died at Level 17


Ashton (Combusken)
Died at Level 17

Well this stinks :( .

I HAD beaten Green *Champion battle* tonight. But I neglected to save at ALL during my session today *Sept 3rd*, and my computer just froze. I have no interest in working my way FROM Rock tunnel back to the progress I made today. I'm ashamed with myself for not saving in advance.

If I'm going to try this challenge again, I will NOT be using the Pokemon Generation Hack. It is much too difficult, and adding a Nuzlocke to it makes it a lot harder. I technically 'beat' the challenge, but it froze RIGHT before it was official I beat Green.

If you want to count it, my team was as follows:

Sandy the Flygon (F) Lv. 65
Bolt the Raichu (M) Lv. 64
Scarlet the Charizard (F) Lv. 66
Crush the Blastoise (M) Lv. 67
PoisonIvy the Venusaur (F) Lv. 63
Duchess the Espeon (F) Lv. 62

Essentially, I had all of Pokemon Trainer Red's team *minus Snorlax of course, as Flygon was my starter, and I couldn't exchange her due to my rules*

Note: (From G/S/C, not HG/SS)

I'll leave it up to you to decide.

Deaths:

Sabrina the Gardevoir Lv. 43 *Died to a critical Pursuit while swap-training against a wild Absol*
Terry the Sceptile Lv. 44 *Sacrificed herself to give Crush the Blastoise a heal against Blaine's Arcanine.*

This really stinks. If you DO count this as a completion, despite my terrible luck, I'll be starting a Sapphire Nuzlocke very soon.
