Ahhh what the heck, ill do this on fired red, i need to catch raikou anyways.

And im gonna tweak the rules (this may cause trouble) a bit:

-You can only buy pokeballs and nothin else.

-If your whole party faints, and ya go through the whole thing with nurse joy- counts as game over and resest- no pokemon go to "death" box.

-catch as many pokemon as you like per route, but you cant catch the same pokemon twice, unless yours is in the "dead" box

-cant catch evos, must only catch only the first form. You still cant catch the evo if you caught the first stage. You cant catch the evo even if you fully evolved pokemon faints,You must catch the first stage again and raise it back up.

-The only pokemon you can use revives on is your starter.

-Can only play for once a day.

Anyways, Since I need raikou, im gonna be startin with a squrtile who i will name.....not sure yet. Maybe cannon back? No too long..
Ehh, ill edit it when i start.

So the rest of your tweaked rules I can understand, but doesn't this one nearly defeat the entire purpose of the Nuzlocke challenge?
Basically, now you're (a) just not using items and (b) disregarding anything that faints.
That's still hard, but not nearly as hard.
Think about it. You really want a Geodude, like really bad, but the first Mt. Moon Poke you come across is a Zubat.
Now, instead of, "Oh well, I guess I'll keep searching," it's, "Damn, I don't get my Geodude ... here's hoping I come across one in Rock Tunnel."
That's what lured me into this whole thing. The best Pokes are the least common. INSANE challenge.

Not trying to be a jerk, just want to hear your reasoning.

That's a resonable question and here's my answer:
The only reason im doin the nuzloke challenge is because i have yet to obtain a raikou. Too unlock the national dex you need to own 60 pokemon. Sure, I could wait until I beat the elite four and then roam around lookin for extra pokes to get the 60, but its easier to catch em when ya see them. In breif, this is just so I can get raikou faster. Does that clear it up?

Fyi- You werent being a jerk, I was expecting this question to be asked.

Post subject:  Re: Nuzlocke Challenge
I sort of did a Nuzlocke in my Japanese Emerald but i stopped because no way im releasing my shiny Treecko if it "dies" I did what i called a " modified" Nuzlocke, catching only the first Pokemon i saw in that route, I had to release the Poochyena i caught after it fainted but i didnt really want him anyway

Post subject:  Re: Nuzlocke Challenge
I started this challenge about a week ago and I'll update about once a week. I'm playing LeafGreen and m not doing to bad, right now.
I did make a few changes to the rules:
1) one item on one pokemon per day (TM's and HM's count; revives are for pansies, and so are rare candies and drugs!)
2) can only buy one item per day (no repels or revives)
3) can catch multiple pokemon per route; but say if I catch clefairy; I can't catch another one as a back-up, EVER!
4) no soft-starts
5) dead pokemon can be used as HM slave, but cannot battle (if all others faint/ GAME OVER)

Currently I've had three pokemon faint (no nicknames because I forgot about it, I'll name them when I get to the name rater).
-clefairy
-paras
-geodude (wah! misty's such a ****!)

My party of six is as follows
-Bellsprout (lv.15)
-Drowzee (lv. 18)
-Zubat (lv. 21)
-Mankey (lv. 22)
-Pikachu (lv. 23)
-Wartortle (lv. 25)

I just got through the S.S. Anne and am grinding bellsprout to evolve before facing Lt. Surge. It's a pain and I can't wait until I box it, or it dies.

Recap:
-I beat brock with squirtle (lv. 14) and mankey (lv. 13), and I also had pikachu (lv. 7) which didn't need to battle because the previous two tanked Brock.
-Caught a clefairy (died while training against replacement paras), a paras (died fighting replacement zubat), a geodude, and a zubat before facing misty and grinded my party to lv. 16-21 for all five, I didn't even face rival yet.
-Misty was rather easy, but geodude died against starmie and zubat filled in absolutely pwning Starmie with three critical hit leech-lifes (all reviving 10 hp each, somehow).
-Rival was a push-over, all four of my pokemon took one each, with zubat getting abra and bulbasaur, and they all one without going to yellow HP.
-I caught a bellsprout just before hitting vermilion and then got a drowzee on the neighboring route where snorlax is by.
-Rival got pwned again and bellsprout didn't need to fight, but I did put it against pidgeotto and ivysaur and switched out for some EXP. and free EV's(not really worried about these).

once again I'll update about once a week and will not put this much detail into my post the next time.
