Name:TheAuraGuardian01
Game:Fire Red
Optional Rules:
  • Nickname all Pokémon
  • Black/White Out is Game Over
  • Change Battle Style to SET
  • Only use PokéBalls
OK, Update 1:
  • I named my character Aura, and the rival TORU. (I really don't know why)
  • Oak stopped me from going in the grass and gave me my starter NinjaTurtl as I chose it based on my trainer ID which ended with 8.
  • I went although to Viridian City, battling quite a lot of Pidgey(s) along the way, got Oak's Parcel, gave it back to him, got the PokéDex and 5 PokéBalls and thus began our journey.
  • Going through Route 1, I caught Stuart, a Rattata and she became the 2nd member of our team. Yay!
  • After reaching Viridian, I trained NinjaTurtl and Stuart for a while in the grass near the Pokémon League, for those who know it, Route 22. I also caught Monkey, a Mankey at level 3 and trained it then and there.
  • While recovering in the PokéCenter, I opened Someone's PC and named the last box as R.I.P. For those who are dead. (Luckily no one, at least till now!)
  • At last, I headed out of Viridian, where the Old Man taught me to catch Pokémon and I was off to Viridian Forest!
  • In the Viridian Forest, I caught Bugsy, the Caterpie and Sparky, the Pikachu. But sadly, while battling a wild Rattata, Bugsy died due to a Critical Tackle! And thus, ends the first update, with the first death…..

My Current Team:
  • NinjaTurtl the Squirtle (Lvl 10)
  • Stuart the Rattata (Lvl 10)
  • Monkey the Mankey (Lvl 11)
  • Sparky the Pikachu (Lvl 5)

R.I.P.:
  • Bugsy the Caterpie (Lvl 4) Death By: Wild Rattata

Small update for Platinum. Just crushed Maylene and Crasher Wake with Staraptor and Luxray. Surprisingly, no faints since the Valley Windworks, and my Shiny Noctowl is alive and well.

Screenshot of current progress for those interested:

Okay its time for my first update!
I also forgot to mention that Dupes clause IS in effect.

Badges: 2
Deaths: 1

  • I decided to go to Eterna forest and train instead of Route 205 since Cheryl will heal me after every battle
  • After the Training, I headed to Eterna City and battled Gardenia. I beat Gardenia just barely (Dang Magical leaf...)
  • Trained most of my team to at least level 20
  • Went into the Galactic Hq in Eterna City and defeated Galactic Jupiter. She got Starfruit down to 1hp

Team so far

Encounters
Eterna Forest: Carrot the Buneary - Caught
Route 211: Cake the Meditite - Caught
Mount Coronet: Geodude - Failed
 
Well... I did do a Nuzlocke and I've completed it... The problem is that I found out about this place a little too late. xD Is it okay to put up a summery of sorts for my Nuzlocke Challenge? I even got stream footage to back it up as best as I can. :chu:

There are some highlights of my Nuzlocke and I will make a highlight of my Elite Four and Champion gauntlet tonight. I was going to make highlights of the Gym battles, but Twitch got stupid and lost some of my past broadcasts... Yeeeeaahhh.... The quality of the streams gets better. It certainly won't be my last Pokemon Nuzlocke. I'm just taking a week break because good lord, my mind needs a break. x_x

EDIT: Be warned, I might say some stuff not meant for kids. Hence why I put an age limit for viewing my streams. You know, just language mostly.

Update 2:
Alright, this update took a while, but it covers up two gyms, three deaths, a ruthless Rival Battle, so, I guess, it's worth the wait….
Story:
  • Trained the Pokémon and went on to battle Brock.
  • Won the Boulder Badge, visited the Pewter Gym and went on to Route 3.
  • After battling several trainers, caught Major, a Spearow, but due to its poisoning from a Nidoran(male) and my lack of Antidotes, it died. So, after another departed soul, I went on to Mt. Moon, the horror house of Zubat.
  • Capturing Major2, a Zubat, letting it die in a Trainer Battle, fighting Team Rocket and obtaining the Dome Fossil sums up Mt. Moon.
  • Before reaching Cerulean City, I taught Mega Punch to Sparky and Mega Kick to Monkey, and that's that. After reaching Cerulean, it was time to add a new Pokémon to the party, which was Major3, a Spearow, again, but it died while training, shows my training's tough.
  • While training, NinjaTurtl and Stuart evolved, marking my first two evolutions, respectively.
  • After training my Pokémon for the upcoming Gym Battle, I went on to challenge Misty, who was defeated only by NinjaTurtl!
  • After obtaining the Cascade Badge, I decided to move on to the Nugget Bridge, before which I had a nearly-ending-my-story battle, due to TORU's Bulbasaur causing NinjaTurtl and Stuart to sleep and poisoning Monkey, it was only when Sparky came to the rescue of the lot. I guess, a death in the first and a nearly ending my campaign battle, are worthy ends of an Update.
My Current Team:
  • NinjaTurtl, the Squirtle lvl 21
  • Stuart, the Raticate lvl 20
  • Monkey, the Mankey lvl 20
  • Sparky, the Pikachu lvl 21
Boxed: None
R.I.P.:
  • Bugsy, the Caterpie lvl 6
  • Major, the Spearow lvl 9 Death By: Poisoning
  • Major2, the Zubat lvl 7 Death By: A Hiker in Mt. Moon
  • Major3, the Spearow lvl 11 Death by: Wild Ekans
That's all folks, wait for the next update.

ADD ME TO THE LIST OF CHALLENGERS MAN..............
 
FINAL UPDATE for Platinum!

Screenie of my squad:
Spoiler:


Lest We Forget...
Spoiler:


And the Red Sox are World Champions! So here it ends. Ith a team so lacking in type diversity, I never thought the same core wipould defeat the Champion. Ever since I found my Shiny Hoothoot, no member of my team was eliminated. Thank you RNGThis Challenge was one of the hardest I've ever completed. That said, I found the difficulty of Platinum to be overrated. I was waiting for the game to really ramp up. The Galactic Commander Double Battle, claiming to be the hardest in the game, was met with a blowout in my favor. I might do another Nuzlocke in the near future.

Just a reminder guys, if you need to update, but you were the last person to post, you need to edit your existing post and add your updates that way. Double posting is breaking the rules, unless 1. the thread is yours and you're posting after the initial post or 2. it's been a month and you are the most recent poster. Thanks, guys. Good luck with the Nuzlocke!
