I'm going to Nuzlocke a Pokemon Emerald bootleg cart, and I have plenty of names now

Sorry guys, got enough for now. There are only so many pokemon I can capture.

Prepare for lots of badly translated fun
For those who are wondering, a Nuzlocke is a Pokemon challenge run which limits what I can capture (a single pokemon in each new location, typically the first one you see or the first you haven't already captured) and how long I can use a pokemon (if it faints, it is dead, no Revives or Pokemon Center to bring it back). I've decided to involve members of this site by taking usernames from willing members, and at certain locations in the game, I'll also ask questions that may effect what I get or use.

The rules I shall be using during this Nuzlocke run are

  • If a pokemon faints, it gets chucked in a storage box called Grave. No using Revives or Max Revives.
  • I can only get one of each pokemon.
  • I'll only capture the first new pokemon in each area, if I have it, it doesn't count as the first seen for that area. Places such as a town, route or cave each count as a new area.
  • All pokemon I get will be named after a user of this site. Because of a limitation of the bootleg, all names will be reduced to five letters.
  • Every time I reach a new Pokemon Mart, I am allowed to buy 5 Pokeballs. Nothing else is allowed to be purchased, other items must be found.
  • Event pokemon (starter, gift pokemon) count as the single pokemon for an area. The only exception to this is the Egg I am given.
  • I can not use the Daycare Center at any time to raise my pokemon levels or breed.

If you wish to be a pokemon, leave a post here stating so, along with a 5 letter version if you don't wish me to mess it up too much.
Got enough names for now.

Every so often, I'll update this post with my progress and possibly some images.

First update - Just reached the forest. Here is my team for now. Going to stop here, have some sleep, and resume training tomorrow.

Second update - Time to hit the Training Ground (AKA Gym) so gdprb can wreck their shit.
And here is the after shot

Third update - Saved a bird, beat up my rival and took a boat to the next town. There is a nice cave here where I can try to catch a good pokemon for my team, so I boxed one of them. Break time again.

Fourth update - Fighting type Training Ground? Well, I might not have a Psychic type, but I do have someone ready to destroy them
And a critical hit made my life easy.

Fifth update - After far too long, I went ahead and played some more. Blame Jade for that. :P
Beaten both the Water Fight gang in the museum and my rival with this team.

Sixth update - Electric Training Ground beaten. But as you can see from my team, it was a close thing.

I thought you were supposed to set Pokemon free if they died?

Release, or toss into the bank. Either way works as long as the Pokemon is no longer used.

As Dsc said, either work. I prefer the box, as when I've done nuzlockes on carts, I could always move them to my 4th gen games after it ended. And with this one, well, I can share the game save and people can still get my other pokemon.

If it's not too much to request, if you ever end up catching latias / latios, mind naming it Nagi?~

I remember playing that challenge. Never finished a pokemon game with Nuzlocke. T_T

Anyways, if your current pokemons die, I'll sign up - Hiver. (I got nothing. :P) Which apparently in French means Winter...I hate ice pokemon. >_<

I've beaten Gold, Ruby and Leaf Green Nuzlockes myself. Never finished one in the later games though. My attempt in Platinum had me wipe out on the third trainer. :P

If you ever need an extra name - Yeti. But you have to make me something really furry.

Let me know if you desire to use the bootleg version. I'm not going to link an upload here, because piracy, but there is a forum for bootleg games where you can find a ROM for the same version I'm playing.

Okay rules. Not hard enough, though. Here are my rules-

  • Only one Pokemon per area. If I own it, it doesn't count.
  • Up to 10 Pokeballs per Pokemart, can only use Pokeballs
  • If a Pokemon faints, it is put in a Dead Pokemon box
  • Maximum 6 Pokemon
  • I may use 1 Pokecenter per town. If I beat a gym, that use is restocked. If I don't use it and beat the gym, I still only have 1 use for the Pokecenter (This counts for people who heal you outside of the Pokemon center. Exceptions are forced events)
  • No legendaries
  • No daycare
  • Must nickname a Pokemon
  • Potions may be used as much as necessary- No Max Potions can be used

There is probably something else I forgot. I have a copy of the Nuzlocke Flow Chart that has the things I do circled. Oh, and let me tell you this; Don't use these rules in Pokemon Yellow or Gold. You will lose before the second gym, even if you somehow make it past the first

Yeah, I know. It is part of the flow chart (although I think I'm using a variation), but it's extremely hard. The reason why you lose is because you run out of Potion money

Its something people could do with various games if they want.

This also happens to be good for my post count, given the mass points coming my way is making entries get too far ahead.

Well, you don't HAVE to keep your comments over your entry ratio. Just make sure your posts have content and/or are funny and it's all fine! :)

why bootleg? or do you just mean emulated? because I'm sure you could find a better rom?

Because it has stuff like this. Its a translation of the Japanese version of Emerald, likely by someone without native knowledge of Japanese or English.

And while I am emulating it, I own the actual cart for it, as a multi game cart. It just tends to delete my saves, so I won't use the cart itself.
