Any Pokémon that faints is considered dead, and must be released (or boxed, never to see the light of day again).
You may only catch the first Pokémon encountered in each area, and none else. If the first Pokémon encountered faints or flees, there are no second chances. (Can be adjusted to ban duplicate captures.)
Trading is disallowed, but the reasons following this clause are allowed. Egg trading is okay, same thing with Pokemon that can't have eggs. (optional) Trading simply for the purpose of evolution is perfectly fine.
Optional: PLEASE NOTE: These are only a few suggestions of optional rules to further increase the difficulty of your challenge. It is perfectly fine to add additional optional rules of your own, so long as they coincide with the main rules of the challenge. DO NOTsubmit a new challenge thread that is a variation of the Nuzlocke challenge! Instead just make a note of the optional rules you are using when you sign up.
You must nickname all of your Pokemon. (highly recommended)
A black out/white is a "game over," even if there are Pokémon left in the PC.
You must change the battle style to SET.
After the first wild Pokémon was caught, you must release your starter.
You may not heal outside the use of Pokémon Centres and moves such as Softboiled.
You may not heal outside of healing items and moves such as Softboiled.
You may not heal outside of battle.
You may only have (whichever number you like) Pokémon Centre visit per town.
You may not use held items.
You may only buy a (whichever number you like) amount of PokéBalls per PokéMart.
You may only use PokéBalls.
You may not use/catch legendary Pokémon.
Make comics of your challenge and have fun! (strongly recommended)
These are the most common ones, but feel free to adjust your challenge to fit you. Use as many optional rules as you like.

I currently have 2 badges worth of progress and only 2 Pokemon left before fighting Burgh, both of which are weak to bugs. So my next post will either be me losing or a badge update. Wish me luck!
Just popping in to let everyone know that if you post your sign up without an update, your post will be deleted for not following the rules! You're free to sign up again, but make sure you have some progress to post when you do so. This is one of the most popular challenges, and the OP wants to keep the challenger list less cluttery, and people signing up and never coming back to the challenge really makes a mess of things. So please, make sure you adhere to this rule. This rule only applies to the Nuzlocke Challenge (so far), so bear that in mind.

Second Update:
Spoiler:
I just woke up without the knowledge of what the heck am I actually doing.
Amnesia aside, I had 6 Pokemon in my team, 1 in the storage, 1 dead (*sniffle*), and 2 badges. Oh well. Since this is so much cliche (with 6 generations, 19 or so main games, and many side games), I somehow already know that my mission is to increase the number of my badges and beat the Champion. Without having myself lose just because my team was wiped out.
So, with that in mind, I began to train them all, especially Lancelot, since he looks like the most recent captured one. With my diligent training, he evolved to Swadloon. (Yay!) Lancelot became more shy after. Oh well.
After that, we entered the Pinwheel Forest and beaten all trainers we could see, including those weird ass thieves in medieval armor. Seems like they were comfortable stealing with those tight-fitting clothes. Anyway, looks like they've stolen some bones from that museum and I was supposed to get them back. Oh well. Duties of the protagonist.
Anyway, when I did get those bones, a guy in robes came (seriously, were they comfortable wearing those around?) and tried to fight me. Then back up came in form of a weird man and a woman. Looks like they were gym leaders. Anyway, those team Plasma thieves retreated and the man (Burgh) went back to his city. Of course, I followed suit.
Crossed the f******* long bridge (and saw some awesome graphics), came to Castelia City, and immediately set myself to beat all trainers in the city and rise above them as the top trainer (and also for training). During that time, Timon evolved. And now, my super HM slave is now complete. When it's time to go to the gym, he was gone. Seems like he needs to deal with some thieves (again?). And the victim this time was..a girl with a blown-up hat. Looks like someone I know. Indeed, she was someone I know. Bianca, why do you get into trouble everytime?
Well, we tracked the thieves along with a girl Burgh apparently knows. Whipped their asses and claimed the stolen Pokemon. Oh, it's a Munna. I challenged the gym afterwards. The gym fell under the might of PorkBarrel (what's with this ridiculous nickname? My, my. But since I PLAYED THIS, I should blame my lack of creativity that time. -_-). What a show off pig.
Well, simply put, I got the badge. I went to Route 4 afterwards only to be challenged by Bianca. WarMachine singlehandledly beaten her team to a pulp. The Battle Maniac. Afterwards came..Cheren. Again, his team was singlehandledly whipped but this time by Sirius. The Dog Star.
Exploring the place, I met..a Darumaka. I don't know what to do with him so what I did was to captured him. Named him Chuckie.
That's enough for now.

Well I beat Burgh but I blacked out on Route 4, so I guess I lost. So I guess take me off the list. I actually have no Pokemon in the box either so there is literally no way for me to continue.
Unfortunately, my DS emulator is being a pain. I'll have to postpone my Platinum Nuzlocke (almost at 2 badges now) until an updateEDIT: Platinum Nuzlocke is finished (as of 3/16)!
Until then.... YELLOW NUZLOCKE!!!
RULES:
-No Starters. Sorry Pikachu.
-No Legendaries! In fact, I'll defeat all of the Legendaries as an optional rule.
-Black out = Dead
-No Trades (until after I complete the Nuzlocke of course)
-Nickname ALL Pokemon! After doing some Nuzlockes in the past, I will always nickname.
UPDATE #1
Spoiler:
-My Route 1 encounter was a Pidgey. Better than Rattata and I get my Flyer. I'll call it BRAVEST because it is the bravest bird, and not stupid Talonflame (Sorry)
-Route 20 (Pokemon League) was a Mankey! Really lucky to get one of those. CHOP is his name. Something really simple and easy to bond with.
-Route 5 encounter: Nidoran Female! A Lv.6 too. I was thinking this team could go somewhere. QUEEN is *her* nickname.
I get acquainted with these new Mons before the first test: Gary.
RIVAL FIGHT #2 (Pokemon League)
-I remind myself that losing this means a restart, something I'm not willing to do.
-Pidgey fights Spearow first, and after a few Quick Attacks it goes down.
-Mankey, now sporting Low Kick, the second-best Fighting move in the game, one-hits Eevee.
Not bad. Not a bad fight at all. Really don't want to lose these ones!
-Veridian Forest, look at a Caterpie, and flee. Only a Butterfree or Beedrill would get my attention here, and I don't want to grind a Caterpie for any reason.
-Grind here, even though Mankey could very well beat Brock single-handedly. I'm not pulling any punches (excuse this horribly embarrassing pun please).
BROCK (Badge #1)
-Gary fight was promising, and I expect more of the same here. Mankey Low Kick's got the win, but Onix could have been dangerous.
-Mt Moon and the rest, Nidoran evolves into Nidorina! Perfect. An aside: Naming my Nidoran "Queen" was a little cocky, as if it would survive to be a Nidoqueen. But it did, because Mt Moon comes through with the early Moon Stones.
-I fight Nugget Bridge before Misty, don't want to screw up anything.
RIVAL FIGHT #3 (Cerulean City/Nugget Bridge)
-The Rival team is a million times easier in Yellow than R/B. Besides the Champ fight, it is very hard to lose to the Rival in this game.
-A heavy dose of Mankey and Nidoqueen.
-More Nugget Bridge stuff. Yawn.
I'm scared of Misty right now lol. I go as far as the SS Anne before challenging her.
Let's get right to it...
RIVAL FIGHT #4 (SS Anne)
-Bounjour!
-Without any problems, Mankey, Nidoqueen and Pidgeotto take care of Gary.
-Smell Ya Later, Gary!
And back to Misty.
MISTY (Badge #2)
-Nidoqueen might get seriously injured by some Bubblebeams, so I opt to use Pidgeotto.
-Pidgeotto does pretty well. I get a couple of crits and 2 hit the Starmie.
-No threats yet, but Pidgeotto is at ~25 HP at the battle's end.
I can freely challenge Surge now.
LT.SURGE (Badge #3)
-One man. One Raichu. One other Trainer. Three capable Pokemon.
-Cutting to the chase: Nidoqueen was a great matchup against Raichu. It could only use the craptastic Mega Punch, which had some useful misses for me.
-Nidoqueen's Mega Punch did not fail me, and took only two to defeat it.
Here is where I'll leave off. Having played this game for the 100,000th time, I'm aware of all possible threats to my Nuzlocke Challenge. Also, I can do this one very quickly. Thank you anyone who spent more than a minute reading this.
Went from Oreburgh Gate to Valleywind Works and took out TEam Galatic
1-Captured a Cubone (m) named him AK47, did alot of grinding
2-Reached Oreburgh City, went up to 207 captured Sandshrew (F) named it Taila (boxed) and then went in the underground place to get Roark and captured a Geodude (F), naming it Geodudette
3-At that point I was like what is this a mono ground type nuzlocke xD anyway...finally battled roark and won with no problem with
4-Defeated Roark with Tellis and AK47..Tellis evolved into Grotle yay McGee evolved to Nidorino after leveling up on the trainers before Roark
5-Headed for Floraroma Town, in Valley Windworks captured a Grimer named it Demon66
6-Took out Team Galatic in the windworks and got the honey from the old man
I forgot to mention that I considered every new floor of a cave/dungeon a new area and thus I can catch new Pokemon, provided that it isn't a clone and that it was the first Pokemon I met (aside from clones) within five encounters. The result is tons of Pokemon waiting in my box. -_-
I added new team members: a Tirtouga from a Cover Fossil that I resurrected and named Neptune and a Tranquill that I captured at Route 6 and named Garuda.
Neptune later evolved into a Carracosta and became slower than before. Was the shell too heavy?
Garuda later evolved into a Unfezant. Such a trustworthy and mature guy. His Fly missed only three times as far as I know. Maybe because I captured him in his evolved form?
As for the gyms:
-Beaten Nimbasa Gym. WarMachine did all the job.
-Beaten Driftveil Gym. Lancelot did almost all the job, except for Excadrill, whom WarMachine knocked off with a single Dig.
-Beaten Mistralton Gym. Neptune is the MVP.
-Beaten Icirrus Gym. Neptune also wrecked the gym single-handledly.
My Pokemon were already at their final forms. I've downgraded Sirius to a HM slave, since I need one. Sorry Sirius.
For newly captured Pokemon, the only ones significant enough to be mentioned aside from team members would be the lucky encounters with a Tynamo at the B2 of the Chargestone Cave and a Cryogonal at Twist Mountain. I considered every room there separately but still..1% chance (it was spring) is so small. And she (yeah, it's asexual but I'll be calling it a 'she'. for no reason.) was my very first encounter in the whole Twist Mountain. How f****** lucky is that?
For deaths..don't ever mention it.
Spoiler:
Ok, I give up. Two more died. One was..Timon. Due to a 5-hit Tail Slap from a wild Minccino that I'll later capture. And he didn't even get to pull off a Hypnosis. Another was a Ducklett that I captured at the Driftveil bridge and named Maria. And the cause was a critical Avalanche from a Vanillite that I'll also get to capture later.
Right now, I'm entering Route 9. Good luck to Team Plasma members that I'll be meeting.

I did an exceptional amount of grinding from the third gym onwards. You can tell how much I wanted to keep my team, and at this point I refused to replace them other Pokemon.
-With Queen, Chop and Bravest, I went through the Rock Tunnel without any troubles. Chop the Primeape's Low Kick and Nidoqueen's Bubblebeam did the trick.
-In Lavender, but I felt I needed to train before Gary in the Pokemon Tower.
-Arrived in Celadon, taught Nidoqueen Horn Drill and bought plenty of X Accuracys for some Gen 1 cheapness.
-Went straight to the Game Corner/Rocket Hideout, easily defeating Giovanni.
-Returned to Lavender to beat Gary
RIVAL FIGHT #4 (Pokemon Tower)
-I used Primeape a lot this fight. Low Kick is a very solid move in this game.
-No casualties here, the grinding has made my Pokemon somewhat overleveled.
Moving on...
ERIKA (Badge #4)
-Pidgeotto has finally evolved into Pidgeot!
-Pidgeot takes care of everything. Although I did use plenty of healing items this gym...
-Went to Silph Co to grab the Earthquake TM for Nidoqueen and to prepare for Koga.
RIVAL FIGHT #5 (Silph Co)
-Tougher team for Gary this time around. Nonetheless, my team handled his own team pretty well.
-As it turns out, Gary has Jolteon. Fine with me because I have Nidoqueen.
Now that Nidoqueen's moveset is fanstastic, I go down to Fuchsia City.
KOGA (Badge #5)
-Nidoqueen was a good choice for this gym, but Psychic hits her pretty hard. I had to switch in Pidgeot to take care of the Venonats.
-Switch back to Nido when Venomoth comes out. Since I know Nidoqueen outspeeds it, I just use one X Accuracy and a Horn Drill to win. Thanks for playing, Koga!
[Grinding Intensifies]
Ok, time for Sabrina!
SABRINA (Badge #6)
-Does Abra do anything?
-Kadabra is better, but super frail.
-Alakazam. Now we're talking. I switch to Pidgeot as both Primeape and Nidoqueen can have their lives taken by one Psychic from Zam.
-On very low HP due to a Special stat drop, Pidgeot defeats Alakazam with two Double Edges. This was the first moment that I started to worry for them.
The exciting part is yet to come. I have recently finished this Nuzlocke and found this one to be a blast.

Given my first Pokemon - Fenniken! I name him Merlin, because he is always pulling a disappering act and hiding from me!
Route 2:
Left town and went to Route 2. I saw a wild Pidgey and Merlin fought it for me. I caught her and named her Feather.
A boy named Austin saw me catch Feather and challenged me to a duel! His Zigzagoon broke Feather's wing and then ate her. Poor Feather! I want to cry. Merlin taught it a lesson at set it on fire with his Ember attack.
Santalune Forest:
I went into Santalune Forest and saw a wild Pansear! Merlin was playing nicely with it, so we made friends with it and caught it! Now I have two red Pokemon! I named Pansear Campy since its hair looks like a campfire.
Campy is being very naughty. It likes to start fights with wild Pokemon, but then doesn't do very well. I hope it gets stronger. A girl named Anna challenged me to a duel with her Pikachu and Campy would have been hurt, or worse, if I didn't have potions with me!
Route 3:
My friends and I exited the forest. They are headed to town, but I was looking around for more Pokemon instead. I see a cute Bunnelby! Campy really came through and weakened the Bunnelby so I was able to catch it! I named him Mr. Sniffles, since he keeps twiching his nose. Trained with my Pokemon and felt ready to take on a gym battle!
I was in town and spoke to a man who wanted to trade Pokemon with me. He liked Mr. Sniffles and was willing to trade his Farfetch'd for him. I feel sad about Feather still, so I thought it would be nice to have another bird Pokemon again. I said goodbye to Mr. Sniffles (who secretly liked it better in town) and I have a new friend named Quacklin'!
Route 22:
I wanted to train with Quacklin' before taking on the gym. We haven't been friends long enough for us to trust each other in battle yet.
There were a lot of powerful trainers on this route, but my Pokemon prevailed! I was really lucky and found a Riolu! Quacklin' hardly took any damage from Riolu (I think it might be weaker than other Riolu) and we caught it easily; I used this Great Ball that a nice man in town gave me. Riolu is so cute! I think I'll name him Punchy.
Punchy doesn't seem to have much confidence in his power, but I hope he knows how much I believe in him! If we train hard enough, I'm sure he'll be an excellent battler!
Santalune Gym:
We are finally ready for the gym! The instructor at the Trainer's School told me that having two Fire-type Pokemon and a Flying-type Pokemon is going to give me an advantage! He told me to be careful if I use Punchy, because some Bug-type Pokemon can use Flying attacks. I think Punchy can just watch this time... I don't want him to lose confidence in himself!
Well I was - about - to go into the gym! Some older girl on rollerskates stopped me and challenged me to a duel! Quacklin' hurt her poor Zigzagoon, but I think it will be ok (I think Feather would be happy that he won though). She was nice and gave me an extra pair of rollerskates that she outgrew.
I beat the gym! Poor Merlin got really hurt though. I don't think I should make it fight any more. I will send him home to Mom so he can keep her company while I am on my Pokemon adventure. The gym leader Viola is really nice and gave me a badge for winning. She even showed me a cool move that some Pokemon might be able to learn.
Update #2
Spoiler:
Route 4/Lumiouse City:
There are some nice gardens on this route. Lots of Combee, I hope they don't try to sting me! Quacklin' smacked one that got too close to us; he's such a good friend.
Beat a lot of trainers that challenged me and eventually met some of Professor Sycamore's friends. They invited me to follow them to his lab; that's nice of them! I asked if we could stop at the Pokemon Center along the way (my friends are all tired and need to rest after their battles).
Professor Sycamore challenged me to a duel! I was scared that he would be too strong, but Quacklin' defeated all of his Pokemon! Professor Sycamore let me choose one of the Pokemon to care for after winning the duel; I chose the Bulbasaur (the poor thing was really hurt by Quacklin') that I named Seedric. I have a good feeling Seedric will be happy with us.
Route 5:
After getting my haircut (yay!) I got a call from my friends and we are headed to Route 5 to continue our Pokemon adventure. Oh! As soon as I got here I found another Bunnelby! I was a little sad to say goodbye to Mr. Sniffles (even though he seemed to like his new trainer), so I am going to try and catch it!
Seedric helped me catch the Bunnelby. I decided to name him Mr. Hoppy (he sure likes to jump around a lot); Maybe I will take him to visit Mr. Sniffles some day.
Oh no! I was in a battle with a trainer named Hamish, and his Kadabra made Punchy not able to fight any more... I think it used a Psychic-type power that messed with Punchy's brain. Punchy ran away, acting a lot like a different Pokemon- it seemed very confused. I will miss Punchy!
I finally got to Camphrier Town. Shauna was here, but my other friends have gone ahead already. I think I am going to call Mr. Hoppy, Mr. Grabby instead. I always find him holding things.
A HUGE Pokemon, called Snorlax, is in my way! I can't get to Route 7 unless we wake it up. Someone told us that we can wake it up with a flute, so I guess we are going to a nearby palace and borrow one.
Route 6:
Going to the palace to get the Pokeflute. If we can't get it then Snorlax will just keep sleeping in the way! Some old ladies challenged me to battle while I was heading toward the palace - Old people are SO weird! Anyways, Seedric beat their Pokemon and then evolved! Now he's an Ivysaur and his flower is pretty :3
Shauna and I found the palace owner's missing Furfrou, so he let us take the Pokeflute. On my way back to wake up the Snorlax, I cut through the grass - to avoid the old ladies - but there were trainers there too! Ugh! I found a cute Oddish though. Caught her and named her Blossom.
Berry Fields:
I stopped by the Berry Fields to check on my berries that I planted. The were growing nicely! I plucked some nasty weeds, but in one berry tree there was a bug Pokemon! The Volbeat attacked us and I was able to catch is with Seedric's help. I named him Baron (he reminded me of the palace owner).
Route 7:
After the Snorlax woke up, Seedric knocked it out too fast for me to catch it. Thankfully, it fell to the side of the road when it passed out.
There was a lot of grass and flowers on Route 7, so I decided to look for more Pokemon. I caught a Roselia! I named her Muse since she reminded me of my favorite poem. Sadly, a Ducklett swooped down and gobbled her up.
We stopped at a house on Route 7; I guess they call it the Battle Chateu? Viola was there and introduced me to the owner - She's so nice! I was allowed to battle the other trainers there. It was fun except a Riolu (I miss Punchy) beat up Mr. Grabby something awful! Looks like Mr. Grabby can't battle any more either. Quacklin' got revenge and also beat every other trainer there! We did so well that I already have a new battle title when I visit :)
Connecting Cave:
It sure is dark in here. I caught a Zubat right away. I named it Fang since it tried to eat my hat.
Route 8:
Oh! We found an Absol! Zubat kept her busy, while I tried to catch her, but she was too strong at ate poor Fang (Pokemon can be so dangerous!). Quacklin' kept her busy so I could try and catch her. I used up nearly ALL of my pokeballs trying to catch her. I finally caught her and decided her name should be Dodger. My Pokedex says she isn't as strong as other Absol can be, but she sure is lucky!
Ambrette Town:
I got a nice fishing rod from someone at the aquarium. I have never fished before, so I tried it right outside of town. I caught a heart-shaped Pokemon! The Pokedex calls it a Luvdisc. It's so cute. I named her Sweety.
I am taking four of my Pokemon now, and we're headed to a place called the Glittering Cave. There are supposed to be some cool Pokemon there, and maybe some stones the evolve Pokemon too!
Update #3
Spoiler:
Rode a Rhydon to Glittering Cave. I've rode my mom's Rhydon before, but riding a strange one was kind of exciting; like doing it for the first time!
Something bit Rhydon's foot along the way - a Sandile! I was able to catch her in a Great Ball before Rhydon could panick (I didn't want us to fall off of the cliff!). I named her Kricket.
When we got the the cave, I sure saw a lot of shiny gems there; It's not called the Glittering Cave for nothing! I found a sad, little Pokemon in the cave that was crying. My Pokedex said it's a Cubone. I caught her after she attacked us (poor thing was probably scared). I called her Beatty. I think she will spend a little time with us for a while. I sent Kricket to the Professor so she would stop biting everyone.
After meeting Caleb in the cave, we were attacked by some people in red suits! We beat their Pokemon, but I wonder what they were doing there? At the end of the cave, one of the fossil researchers gave Caleb and me a fossil each. I chose a Sail Fossil and took it back to town. I don't know how it works, but they were able to make a Pokemon with it! She is such a cute Pokemon! I called her Aurora.
Now that I have six Pokemon with me, I think it's time to go to another town and see if they have a gym.
Update #4
Spoiler:
Traded Luvdisc for a Steelix! His name is Thumper. He looks like a very strong Pokemon! Maybe he will help keep our team safe?
I challenged the gym and Thumper wasn't doing so well. Since it was a Rock-type gym, I used Seedric and he did very well for himself! The gym leader used an Amaura though, just like mine, and I didn't know her Ice-type attacks would be so strong... poor Seedric didn't make it. I was able to win the badge, but lost a friend.
Route 10:
Caught a Snubbull and named her Buttercup (she was sniffing some nice yellow flowers until we met). I sent her to the Professor since she doesn't seem to want to fight much.
Update #5
Spoiler:
Route 11:
Caught Nidorino and named him Oblio. Defeated trainers on the way to the cave, but Oblio was killed by a Mr. Mime in a double-battle. Thumper got revenge for him though!
Reflection Cave:
Another trainer challenged me when I entered the cave. I beat him easily enough by using Thumper. I encounted another Pokemon - It was a Mr. Mime though. Thumper wanted to eat him, but couldn't hurt it at all with its Dragon Breath attack. I changed to Quacklin' and he almost killed the Mr. Mime with a Night Slash attack. The Mr. Mime was able to hang in there, though, so I thought we should try to catch it (it must be strong to survive my best Pokemon!). I was able to catch it and named him Whisper. It may be a while before I can use him since my other Pokemon don't like him.
Route 12:
Caught a Slowpoke and named her Paula. I was going to try and fish, but a man stopped me and told me to go back to town. Oh yeah! I forgot the Professor asked me to go to the Tower of Mastery.
Shalour City:
Battled Calem at the Tower of Mastery. His Meowstic crushed Campy! Poor Campy, he was with me for so long. I went back to the Pokecenter afterwards and sent Quacklin' to the Professor; I wasn't able to control him in battle any longer! The Professor says I can ask for him back after I have won a few badges. Apparently, Pokemon that are too strong will stop listening to their trainer.
Whisper really handled the Shalour City Gym well! He only needed help for Korrina's Pokemon. Beatty took out the Hawklucha with some Rock Slide attacks and finished it off with Thrash attack. I was scared I might lose Beatty, but her Rocky Helmet hurt Hawklucha just enough that her Thrash attacks were able to knock it out! So now we have a Rumble Badge.
I battled Korrina again, but this time we used Mega-Evolution! The Lucario that wanted to fight for me was the winner! Korrina said it wanted to come with me, so I accepted. It looks like Punchy, so I named him Punchy in memory of our friend who ran away.
Route 12:
The man that stopped me from passing before, gave me his childhood friend Lapras! She is really friendly. I am going to call her Cally.
I stopped at a cool Skiddo Ranch. Riding the Skiddo was really fun! I even battled againt the family that owns the place. Punchy did amazing, and Beatty even did some work against a kid with a bunch of Bug Pokemon.
Coumarine City:
I beat the Grass-type gym easy! I asked for Dodger back from the Professor, and taught her how to do the move Aerial Ace. She was lower-level than a lot of the Pokemon in the gym, but she did really well for herself! She still wasn't strong enough to take on Ramos, so I trusted Quacklin' to breeze through his Pokemon, and he did! Now Quacklin' is strong enough to fly me anywhere in Kalos that I want to go! He's such a good Pokemon!
Update #6
Spoiler:
Route 13:
Left Coumarine City and Route 13 is very windy and sandy! I was attacked by a Dugtrio, but Aurora took it out with an Avalanche attack before I had a chance to catch it.
We kept going South and eventually saw a scientist standing near the Power Plant. I went over to see what was going on (since Lumiose City was having power problems) and found out that Team Flare was the cause of it all! My Pokemon and I went in and took care of Team Flare. Punchy didn't need much help at all, but I still gave him a break and let Thumper scare away the rest of Team Flare.
Lumiose City:
Now that the power was restored to the city, I was able to challenge the gym! It was run by Clemont, who likes Electric-type Pokemon. I beat the trainers with Beatty and then gave her a rest and defeated Clemont using only Punchy. I got the badge and then continued on my Pokemon journey with my friends.
Route 14:
Calem challenged me to a duel again... I beat him without losing any Pokemon this time, but he sure doesn't seem to understand that friends shouldn't hurt their Pokemon battling against each other! At least some good came out of it; Aurora evolved! She is not cute any more, but very beautiful :)

Route 102: I went through all the Trainer Battles there! then Scott was Blocking my Way and Upgraded My Pokedex to a National Dex! then I found Petalburg City.
Petalburg City: I went to the Gym, and the Usual Happens like Wally comes by to Know how to catch a Pokemon so Norman Gives his Zigzagoon to Wally for Catching a Pokemon and you go with him to Route 102.
Route 102: Wally encounters Ralts and Catches it then you head back to Petalburg City.
Petalburg City: Norman Takes back his Zigzagoon then Wally Leaves and Norman says to take the Rustboro Gym first. I then Proceed to Route 104. oh but Scott Stops me and saying that if i found any Talented Trainers and Leaves!
I was in Route 10 when Cheren came and challenged me. Neptune was doing well, since all his Unfezant did was to Taunt and Detect. Then came Samurott. He unleashed hi Aqua Tail, mine my Smack Down. I decided to just buff up with Curse but he unleashed a critical Aqua Tail.
In short, Neptune..was drowned.
I defeated him quickly after. But afterwards, Cheren healed my Pokemon.
So what should I do? Should I treat Neptune as dead?

Most people will say no, it's still dead. Likewise, if something dies against N, then you'll most likely not want to use it against Ghetsis. Although one person I saw doing Blaze Black 2, one of his Pokémon died against Kyurem, but he considered it revived against Ghetsis. But yeah, I'd just consider it dead.
On another note, I'll probably start a Nuzlocke here shortly.
The Opelucid gym was ok, though WarMachine nearly died from a Revenge and Rough Skin combo, courtesy of someone's Druddigon. At that point, I decided to wreck the gym, since I was still holding back (I didn't used Earthquake, preferring to use Rock Slide.). Totally.
Then, the gym leader battle. WarMachine destroyed Iris team.
After that, I went to Route 10. I was just happily wrecking the life of others. I was even able to capture a Rufflet. Then, everything changed when Cheren attacked.

Yeah, Neptune died. Even though he got resurrected later by that idiot, it was incomplete and I still have qualms on using a zombie. So I just put him in the graveyard. For good. I will miss you!!
So, lacking a good Pokemon to use, I decided to get Pringles. Trained him very hard until he reached the levels of my other Pokemon.
Right now, I'm back in Route 10, paying my last respects at the strong and heroic Neptune before I destroy the whole Victory Road, Pokemon League, and Team Plasma to vent my frustrations.
