Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

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 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.

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

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.
