Chief's music refernces guessing:

And that's all i got.

Others are Kenny G. <3
Frank Sinatra. :DD
Adele. The British singer. Who really knows her last name? XD


I just don't know Diblasio. ://

well you're both right.

And as it turns out minaj was named after Lady Gaga in reality, and was named Lady Gaga.

Diblasio is name after a jazz sax player named Denis Diblasio. He's pretty awesome. Video can be seen here.

that is all

I will complete this. First of a five-part series.
Nickname theme inspired by the "Song of Ice and Fire" saga.

Rules:
All standard rules apply.
- You are only allowed to capture the very first pokémon encountered in each route.
- You must nickname all captured pokémon.
- You must release or permanently store all fainted pokémon.
Custom rules.
- You are not allowed to use items in any battles.
- Your pokémon's levels cannot exceed any gym leader's.
- You are not allowed to use "Gift" (ie: Eevee) or Legendary pokémon.

Im gonna do a Platinum Nuzlocke! im going to use all of the standard rules with:

1. I will only catch the first pokemon i see if I do not have it yet.
2. I can only grind to the level of the next gym leaders strongest pokemon.
3. When training for the E4 I can only grind to the level of the Champions strongest.

Will show progress later.

I hate critical hits.


Reserves:
none

Cemetary:
Cersei (Viridian Forest) Lv7 - Viridian Forest, Wild (Critical Hit Thundershock)
Mance (Route 22) Lv10 - Route 3, Youngster Ben's (Critical Hit Quick Attack)

I don't get people who do Nuzlockes and level their 'mons normally.

My current run on Fire Red


"Alduin" - Male - Level 22
Scratch - Ember - Metal Claw - Smokescreen


"Bandit" - Male - Level 21
Tackle - Sand Attack - Gust - Quick Attack


"Grinder" - Male - Level 21
Scratch - Low Kick - Karate Chop - Focus Energy


BADGES: None
NOTES: Veridian Forest proved...difficult. Weedle appeared first, fainted. Managed to avoid stepping in the Grass of route 2, hoping for a Weedle there so I can get Bedrill. Although I suppose Butterfree wouldn't be so bad.

Running a nuzlocke on emerald, i don't feel like detailing everything properly but i'm posting so ill get reminded to edit it tomorrow!
i've got three badges and i'm grinding a buncha new catches up to level 27 prior to heading into meteor falls.
so far i've had three casualties. a Whismur which I put first in my party for training, then forgot it was for training and used Uproar on Brendan's Lotad, leading to the inability to switch out and Lotad killing it; a Minun which bravely sacrificed itself to Wattson's Magneton, and a Mightyena (my first catch of the game :<) which was hit by an unfortunately-critical Selfdestruct from a Koffing.

Besides that I've caught the first Pokémon I've seen on every route except two: both Abra that appeared in Granite Cave and the route east of Rustboro. Lobbed Great Balls at both; both broke out. :/

I've never tried a Nuzlocke but if I did I would suck because I have the worst luck ever with Pokémon spawns. :P Good possibility my team would end up being my starter, 3 Pidgeots and 2 Raticates.

I guess that here might be a good place to mention this; I'm currently working on a pseudo-nuzlocke of Pokemon Colosseum. I call it a pseudo-nuzlocke because due to the lack of available Pokemon in the game, I've modified the second core rule of the nuzlocke to allow leeway, since there's about as many Shadow Pokemon as there are areas to catch Wild Pokemon in Kanto. All other rules apply, though.

Anyone interested in watching, link is here. Warning for somewhat adult humor at times.

I'm doing a diamond Nuzlocke. So far everything's going fine... only casualty was a Shinx receiving a critical hit in the Rock gym. I have a whole lot of Pokémon I'm levelling up, which is fun but marginally irritating because I had to get them all from 20 to 30 because there's such a big gap between the Grass gym and the Water gym. So far, I'm using 16 Pokémon, and I have a level 5 Budew in storage for later because I'm already using a Roselia. I won't post sprites because I have so many Pokémon, but my team consists of:

[Icebreaker] Prinplup (M) - lv 30
[Wings] Crobat (F) - lv 26
[Rolling Star] Golem (F) - lv 29
[Ciel] Floatzel (M) - lv 29
[Aisling] Murkrow (M) - lv 30
[Meredith] Meditite (F) - lv 26
[Assault] Dustox (F) - lv 23
[Pianissimo] Chimecho (F) - lv 28
[Baura] Gyarados (M) - lv 30
[Byakuya] Roselia (M) - lv 24
[Bagel] Haunter (F) - lv 29
[Gagin] Ponyta (M) - lv 26
[Tail] Stunky (M) - lv 29
[Fisk] Barboach (F) - lv 27
[Manatee] Quagsire (F) - lv 26
[Java] Staravia (M) - lv 26

in case you didn't feel like paying attention to all that. i noticed something interesting when i started this file, technically your starter counts as being caught on route 101 in these games which means you can't catch anything else in this route.
