Let's go to the beach, each.
I made my way around Mt. Moon and I battled trainers as well as wild Pokemon. I headed down steps and I eventually ran into some Team Rocket grunts who were looking for fossils inside the cavern or something and I battled against them as well. I continued to battle trainers and then I reached a spot with two fossils. I was going to pick one up but some Super Nerd class trainer appeared and he wanted to battle me for the fossils. I defeated his team easily and then I picked up the Helix Fossil. I headed towards the exit of Mt. Moon afterwards and then I arrived at Route 4. I headed towards Cerulean City and I finally arrived there. I healed my Pokemon at the Cerulean City Pokemon Center and then I saved.

I left the Cerulean PC and I headed out to explore the city. I purchased items at the local Poke Mart and once that was done, I entered the Cerulean City Gym. I battled against the Gym trainers and their Water-type Pokemon inside and then I got to Misty's area. I challenged her and she sent out her Staryu first. I was prepared and I sent out Fran. I had it attack Staryu a bit and then I sent out Sparky. I defeated Misty's Staryu with Sparky's Metal Claw, but then I had to battle against Misty's Starmie. I used Fran against it, but Starmie defeated it with Water Pulse. Sparky defeated Starmie with a critical hit Scratch attack afterwards and I won the Cascade Badge and Water Pulse TM and I then released Fran.

After I thrashed Misty at the Cerulean City Gym, I left the Gym and I healed my injured Pokemon at the Cerulean City Pokemon Center. I bought a couple more Poke Balls at the Poke Mart and then I headed north towards Route 24. I encountered my rival again before I was allowed to pass though and I battled against him. I defeated him and then I healed my Pokemon once again. I finally arrived at the bridge and I battled against the trainers there. I then arrived at Route 25 and I went east since I had to visit Bill's Cottage. I battled tons of trainers on the way there and then I finally reached the end of Route 25. I walked into Bill's Cottage and I helped him with one of his experiments. I saved after I got the S.S. Ticket.

I left Bill's Cottage after I obtained the S.S. Ticket. I headed south towards Cerulean City afterwards and I healed my Pokemon at the Pokemon Center. Once that was done, I went to visit the house that had been robbed by Team Rocket. I climbed through a hole in the wall and I battled against a Rocket grunt outside. I got the Dig TM from him after I defeated him, then I headed south to Route 5. I battled some wild Pokemon in the tall grass and then I visited the Day Care. I entered the Underground Path afterwards and I headed south until I reached the southern entrance and I arrived at Route 6 next. I battled some wild Pokemon in the tall grass along there and then I saved before moving on towards Vermilion City.

So; started up an Emerald Nuzlocke today. It's going to be a basic nuzlocke; catch first thing you find on a route, if it faints it's dead, ect. ect.

The only difference is I'm not including Dupes Clause; I catch what I find first, no matter what it is..so lets get things started. :)

Also, unless I have a specific reasoning behind a pokemon's name (which I'll probably explain if I do), all pokemon names have been randomized simply based on their gender.

  • Started up the game as a Male trainer named Joey;
  • Set the clock, talked to May, ect. ect.
  • Professor Birch had his Zigzagoon problem, so I picked out my starter.
  • Introducing Dwain the Male Torchic; He has a Lonely nature
  • Afterwards, I went to go battle May, nothing really interesting happened. Just as a recap, I have that clause that allows me to not count any interactions in Routes 101 or 103 until I have pokeballs.
  • So I beat May, got the money, and headed back to Littleroot, where I got Pokeballs!!! Time to go catching!
  • Route 101 had a Zigzagoon, Route 103 had a Zigzagoon (That I accidentally killed) and Route 102 had a Lotad.
  • Introducing Radovan the Male Zigzagoon; He has a Sassy nature
  • Introducing Marina the Female Lota-
  • ...and Marina fainted while grinding on Route 101, which I did a little before writing this down; without thinking, I released her, so I forgot to write down her nature...Don't you just LOVE critical hits. -_-;
  • Radovan picked me up a couple Repels if that's any consolation?
  • Lastly, more tutorial involving Wally, and I captured a Male Marill, and trained him n' Radovan a little bit.
  • Introducing Adam the Male Marill; He has a Calm nature

Dwain - Male - Lonely - Blaze - Lv. 10

Let's go to the beach, each.
I arrived in Vermilion City and visited the local Pokemon Center in order to heal my team, then I visited the local Poke Mart in order to buy items. I wandered around town a bit more afterwards and I visited the Pokemon Fan Club and I got a Bike Voucher from the chairman. Once that was done, I headed over to the port and I showed the S.S. Ticket to the man there and I was allowed on the S.S. Anne. I entered cabins when I arrived and I battled against trainers on board. I visited the kitchens after those battles and I got some items from the trash cans. I visited the deck of the ship and then I headed down to the sailor's cabins in order to battle against them. I defeated half of them and then I saved the game.

Golden Sun 4?
OK, seeing as these are all the rage nowadays, I have decided to take my own spin on this! This will be a Pokemon Sapphire Nuzlocke challenge, but with a few extra rules.

- All normal rules apply, unless they contradict another rule
- Shiny Clause- In the extremely unlikely event of encountering a shiny, I can catch it (or at least attempt to, regardless of whether or not if it is the first Pokemon in the route (if it is then all continues normally)), however any deaths that occur during the course of the fight are counted as deaths, and dead Pokemon must be de[posited in the PC like normal.
-3 Chances Clause- If the first Pokemon in the route I encounter is one that is already being used/reserved, or in the same evolutionary line, I may run and have 3 more chances to encounter a new Pokemon. This does not apply if I have a dead species of that Pokemon. If no new ones are found, I leave with no new Pokemon at all.
-Have a friend Clause- This is a new rule which I have made up which enables me to hunt for 1 and only 1 Pokemon specifically, if they are not the first one I encounter in a route. This will be Trapinch in my case.

Occurances-

Party-

Reserved-

Deceased-

I battled more Sailors inside the S.S. Anne and then I healed my team. I wandered over to the captain's room, but I was stopped in the hallway by my rival who wanted to battle me. I battled against him and I won that battle easily. I entered the captain's room afterwards and I helped him get over his seasickness. I got the Cut HM from him afterwards and I left the S.S. Anne. I ran to the Vermilion City Pokemon Center and I taught Cut to Sparky and then I headed over to the Vermilion City Gym. I cut down the tree in front of the Gym and I entered it. I had to navigate around the Gym while battling Gym trainers and I also had to find the hidden switches inside the trash cans in order to deactivate the Gym's traps.

Rules: Normal Nuzlocke rules, Dupes Clause and Shining Clause!

Hey there guys! Snazzy here! I've decided to do a Pokemon Sapphire Nuzlocke! Started with a guy named Donald (as always) and checked my ID and it ended with a 5 so I guess.... Torchic.... Dang it... Went and set the clock (not really) and then went to the neighbors and met May. Then got my Torchic! It's male so I called him Bashamo then trained him up to level 9 before May and then went and easily beat her. Then went and got the Pokedex and Pokeballs! My first encounter on Route 101 was a Zigzagoon! Which I caught and named Massaguma! And then trained him up to level 9. Went to Route 103 and caught Guraena the Poochyena! And I'll end this off with me training a bit. :p See ya!

Team:

;263; Massaguma, male Zigzagoon lvl.9
Moves: Tackle, Growl, Tail Whip, and Headbutt

;255; Bashamo, male Torchic lvl.10
Moves: Scratch, Growl, Focus Energy, Ember

;261;Guraena, male Poochyena lvl.3
Moves: Tackle

So next I shopped for items at the Poke Mart after beating Lt. Surge and I went to Route 11 to train my Pokemon against the trainers in the area. I managed to defeat all the trainers and then I returned to the Vermilion City Pokemon Center to heal my Pokemon again. I went north afterwards and I used the Underground Path to travel to Route 5. I arrived in Cerulean City again and I cut down the tree that was blocking the path to Route 9. I arrived at the mountain path and I started battling against the trainers in the area. I had to return to Cerulean City to heal my Pokemon in between battles, but I eventually arrived at the entrance to Rock Tunnel. I healed my Pokemon inside the local Pokemon Center.

I walked through Rock Tunnel and battled tons of trainers as I moved around from floor to floor. I collected some items before leaving the cavern and then I arrived at the southern portion of Route 10. I arrived in Lavender Town shortly afterwards and I healed my Pokemon at the local Pokemon Center. I bought some items at the Poke Mart and then I visited Mr. Fuji's house. It turned out that he was at the top of the Pokemon Tower, so I began to climb it. I encountered my rival on the second floor and I had to battle against him. I left the tower afterwards since there was no point in climbing the rest of the tower since I couldn't identify the ghosts. I healed once more at the Lavender Town Pokemon Center and saved.

I headed west to Saffron City and I arrived at Route 8 and battled trainers. I had an easy time against them and I eventually reached the entrance to the Underground Path, which led to Route 7. I traveled through the Underground Path and I eventually made it to Route 7 where I trained my Pokemon and also caught a wild Oddish and named it Fern. I soon made my way to Celadon City and I healed my Pokemon at the PC. I then visited the Department Store and I stocked up on items there. I explored the rest of the city afterwards and then I obtained the Coin Case so that I could store coins from the Game Corner. I played the slots at the local Game Corner afterwards and then I found the entrance to Rocket Hideout.
