EDIT:
I just wiped out at Clair, luck was going against me because all 6 of my Pokemon got paralyzed from Dragonbreath.

My final team was

Forretress Lv.38
Piloswine Lv.38

Good luck to everyone else.

Gahhhh.
I did a system recovery to make my computer run faster, forgot that it would wipe out my saved file.
I just beat Wattson with 0 deaths. D:. Oh well, I'll be re-doing it later tonight.
 
Update 2
I have not done anything with yellow version, I won't drop it just don't want to do it yet.
I have gotten somewhere in crystal though, but my save loaded and deleted all my progress but still past the union cave! I'm in azeala town.
I have done quite a bit with FireRed. I was at Vermillion training to battle Surge. I ran into the grass before V-town and caught myself a Deanna the Meowth. (who fainted during a fight with my next friend) Figgy the Diglett who, was faster than all of Surge's pokemons at level 19. So figgy is now a Dugtrio. I also went and got a Voltorb (VannaWhite), and a Mankey (Bane), then got to Celadon and got Ariel the Eevee and Muhammad (Hitmonchan). My party is
Ariel (lv29 Eevee)
Charlie (lv 44 Charizard)
Flapper (lv 38 Pidgeot)
Figgy (lv 30 Dugtrio)
Bane (lv 16 Mankey)
VannaWhite (lv 14 Voltorb)
I have 4 badges now and have to go to Saffron or Lavender and then I should get to Sabrina.
 
Well, drats. Brawley and his stupid Makuhita. Wing Attack by Tailow - Bulked Up, Sitrust Berry. Wing Attacked- Vital Throw. Double Kick with Combusken - 1hp left - Reversal OHKO'd, then revived. Lombre, Zigzagoon and Aron stood no chance. GG me.


Re-doing that Nuzlocke Now.

yoooo okay so this Nuzlocke is actually my twitch stream game! figured I may as well report in on it anyway especially because twitch is a piece of crap and deleted my first broadcast

so I started out with Torchic and went to get to level 6 before Brendan and... got taken out by a Zigzagoon uhhhhh
restarted
Accidentally named myself AN because I suck at emulators. Picked Torchic. Theme naming for this run is RWBY characters, so... Jaune. Actually got somewhere; picked up Melanie and Miltia the Zigzagoons on routes 101/103. Found Junior the Zigzagoon on route 102. Got Roman the Zigzagoon on route 104, Penny the Wurmple in Petalburg Forest, and Cardin the Whismur on route 116. Penny evolved, then I lost her to Rich Boy Winston. Carden was taken out by Lass Haley. Also accidentally took out my first Whismur encounter of Rusturf Tunnel okayyy. I am sad and variety-deprived.

Right now, Melanie and Miltia are in the PC at level 8. With me are Jaune (now a Combusken) and Junior at level 16. Plus Roman, hanging around at level 5 solely to be used for Cut. I'm more determined to be careful and not lose anyone, especially to Roxanne.
