Pretty simple challenge, you can only use the balls Oak gives you at the start. No buying them from pokemarts etc.
The idea is that you have to decide whether to go for the easy but weak catches or risk wasting balls to get better, harder to catch pokemon.
Any pokemon you get during the story allowed.
You can also use any balls picked up along the way, but you can't buy any.
Standard
No gifts.
Only allowed the 5 balls you are given at the start, for a possible 6 pokemon.
Hard
Same as standard, but you have to let your starter go before the 1st gym, and use only pokemon you caught.
Insane
Same as standard, but if a pokemon faints it's dead and has to be boxed.
That's pretty much all I can think of right now. Let me know if I should add/change anything or whatever. I just joined the site, so please don't hate me if I did something wrong :) Also, if anyone knows a faster way of putting screenies up than uploading them all to imageshack/photobucket individually, please share.

- Don't neglect pokemon. No specific rules but try to level up your pokemon evenly. There's no point in this challenge if you just solo it with your starter.
- No soft resets. Pretty self explanatory, no point having a limit on the number of balls if you just retry until you capture the target.
- You can start over e.g. if you have insanely bad luck the first time and don't manage to catch anything. No starting over if you have 3 or more pokemon including starter.
- HM slaves: try to plan a team that doesn't require any, but you fail a catch and need a slave that's ok. But you can't get a HM slave unless you have already used all your starting pokeballs (you can buy pokeballs in order to catch slaves). Don't use them in battle obviously.
- All other items including rare candies etc are ok, just no balls.
- No trades or hacks for obvious reasons.
- Ball-based innuendo and puns entirely fair game. But pokemon is srs bsns so don't get too carried away.
- Duplicates optional.
- Nicknames also optional.

My Run

Setting Out
Spoiler:
Started with Bulbasaur because he's the awesome one. Also sleep powder should be useful on this run.
Beat rival.
Left town, immediately hit by back to back crits from a pidgey and blacked out. Not a great start.
Left town again, this time making it to Veridian City.
Delivered package to Oak, got 5 pokeballs.
Undecided which pokemon to go for so far. There will be lots of googling pokemon catch rates for me in this run. May wait until bulbasaur learns sleep powder for some catches.
