After looking through my games, I decided to try out a nuzlocke on my Ruby. It's sort of barren so why not.
After thinking on it, I decided the rules to be:
-One Pokemon per route (duh) & town (my last bastion for a water type), first one I see
--No repeats, but if the second Pokemon isn't new, the route is "dead"
--The period at the start with no Pokeballs is a grace period. I can go back to those routes to try and catch the first one I ran into (eg I can go and catch a Poochyena if I so choose on route 201).
--If I kill the Pokemon, that's it. Route's dead.
-If a Pokemon dies, it goes directly to Box 14 forever (no need to let a perfectly good Pokemon go to waste when I can pal park it to HG or maybe White when it comes out)
-Healing by items (sans Revives) is allowed because screw you the E4 will be a pain on its own.
-Gift Pokemon will count against the area
--If I somehow get to the fossils without running into a Pokemon they will count for the Desert.
-I can catch, but not use, Groudon & the Regi (again, no need to let them go to waste...I doubt I will even be able to get the Regi anyway since Relicanth is so rare).
--In the event of losing every single other Pokemon to the E4, I may use them once. If I still fail, the challenge is over for real.
-nickname all Pokemon
Uh...think that covers all the bases? If I remember more restrictions I'll add them.
Anyway!
Adventure: >Begin
I name the boy R N (because there's no underscore for some reason), set the clock, meet the neighbors, and head up to Route 101.
After thinking on it, I decide to go with Mudkip. He is super effective against Roxanne, Flannery, Wallace, will be immune to some of Wattson after evolving, Team Magma, and his bulk should help with resisting things.
Also surfing, earthquakes, and maybe Ice Beams! Exciting.
The Poochyena battle starts, level 2 female.
And then some tackles exchange and come on no one cares.
Rescue Complete!
I decide to nickname my male Mudkip...Prof. Psi.
Onwards, to Oldale!
Took the tour and then I decide to train up the good Professor up to level 6 on Route 101. Thankfully it gets Mud Slap at level 6, so that'll be useful later on. Oddly not one Poochyena in three battles.
On route 103....I run into a male level 2 MALE Poochyena XD. Then I ran into a level 2 Male Zigzagoon. So if I come back to this route, I'll grab that.
MAY BATTLE 1
Growled it, tackled it, crit tackled it. EXCITEMENT. I got to 6 hp though. Also level 7
Back to Birch, got my dex and Pokeballs, back to 101. (Also run shoes!)
After running and running I find no Poochyena. I'll skip this route for later, then.
103 was far nicer, giving me my male level 2 zigzagzoon (PCH0000). Leveled it up to Level 5, and gave another level to Psi.
PCH0000 already proving his worth by picking up a full heal and a FULL RESTORE :D
Route 102: The crux of my plan is to have PCH0000 take on things before bringing in Prof. Anything can be a threat. You never know.
I run into a level 3 male Wurmple. I catch it and name it Spike
I continue through the route picking berries, PCH0000 finds an Ultra Ball & Full Restore, Spike gets to level 7 and becomes...he becomes....! Cascoon!
That's..okay? I guess. If it lasts long enough, Dustox's Psybeam and Gust should be useful against Brawly.
Then I called I saved it called it a night. Will post team later when I have more then three.
