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:

"image removed"
Prometheus (Ralts)
Died at Level 11

"image removed"
Beats (Whismur)
Died at Level 10

"image removed"
Hitmontree (Shroomish)
Died at Level 17

"image removed"
Ashton (Combusken)
Died at Level 17

"image removed"
Blinky (Magikarp)
Died at Level 8
 
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.

Update...
Marty was killed while grinding, making me have to take on the gym with Nagini and Salad. I grinded to level 45 and I thought I could do it. I actually managed to reach skyla. I was almost there, I fought with all I had...

...but they didn't stand a chance. Everyone died.

Long story short, I failed my nuzlocke :(

I might try again, thought I might try a different challenge beforehand
 
Well, I'll officially sign up, despite the fact I'm already two badges in.

Username: Pokehearts
Game: White 2 (Put me under Black 2)

Stuff that's happened (I update every badge, can't use screencaps, as I'm playing on a cart.)

-Obtained Snivy in Aspertia City, Named it Gr*******
-Caught a Purloin in Route 19, named it BillyDaKit
-Caught a Pidove on Route 20, named it BreadCrumb
-Caught an Azurill in Floccesy Ranch, named it Shredder
-While Training in Floccesy Ranch, BillyDaKit is killed by a Patrat
-While Training in Floccesy Ranch, Shredder is killed by a Lillipup
-Win against Cheren, Gr******* is level 14 and BreadCrumb is level 12
-Caught a Patrat in Virbank Complex 1(Outside), Named it Patrice
-Caught an Elekid in Virbank Complex 2(Inside), Named it Adapter
-Patrice is almost killed while fighting an Audino.
-Adapter is almost killed while fighting a Magnemite
-Narrow Win against Roxie, BreadCrumb, Gr*******, and Adapter all die to Roxie's Whirlipede. Patrice is level 18
-Caught a Minccino in Route 4, named it Swiffer
-Caught a Grimer in the Castelia Sewers, named it Le Blob
-Caught a Woobat in the Relic Cave Passage, named it DemonSpawn
-Caught a Petilil in the Castelia Park, named it MonstrBait

So my team before the Third Gym badge:
-DemonSpawn the Woobat
-Patrice the Patrat (NOBODY ASKED YOU PATRICE)
-MonstrBait the Petilil
-Swiffer the Minccino
-Le Blob the Grimer
Total Deaths: 5
I'm going to grind them all to level 24-25. Wish me luck.

Continuation:

I beat Burgh, everyone's level 25, bar DemonSpawn, (My Swoobat, who evolved from Woobat) who's level 27, and Le Blob, who's dead. Patrice evolved into Watchog, and that's all that happened in between last post and the Third Gym.

Gym Badges: 3
Deaths: 6
Team as of now:
Patrice the Watchog: level 25
DemonSpawn the Swoobat: level 27
MonsterBait the Petilil: level 25
Swiffer the Minccino: level 25

I can catch at least four more Pokemon next gym badge. So hopefully I get a ground type of two, can't catch the Skill Link Minccino cause Duplicate Clause (One of my rules), so I can get four more Pokemon next gym. Wish me luck.
