So I was bored and decided to do something. That something was to play Pokemon Emerald, but this time I decided to take on the Nuzlocke Challange... yeah, I'm bored. This blog will be my let's play of some sorts, I guess, so you can read it if you want to. It's probably going to be ramblings though.

Okay, here are the rules. I have customized them a bit to my liking.

• If a Pokemon faints, it is dead and has to be released and has to be put inside the computer. It will kind of work like a failure count like in Zelda. Thanks, mr person who just told me that in the comments!
  
• The Starter will be my ultimate partner and if he dies, it will be an instant Game Over. In this case, it's my Mudkip.
  
• If all Pokemon are dead, it's a Game Over.
  
• The first Pokemon you find in area has to be caught. If you fail/the Pokemon is a duplicate of one you had caught before, you cannot catch another one in that area. That said, I've implanted the "no duplication rule" as to keep my team varied.
  
• Nickname all Pokemon.
  
• Only regular Pokeball can be used (none of the special ones). I've implented this to make catching Pokemon more difficult and more rewarding.
  
• No more than six Pokemon can be caught. So if my team is full, then I will not be able to catch any Pokemon (this means that I will not be able to catch Pokemon in that area ever again)

That said, here's my log...

I played like normal, choose a Mudkip (impish) and named it "SPLASH". I leveled it up a bit to take on May, then got my Pokedex and Pokeballs. I caught a Wurmple (docile) at Route 101, naming it "TOXEY". and let it be for a while. Then I immediately went to Route 103 and got a Poochyena (naughty) and named it "FANGS". Mudkip is lv 10 now, but the other two are still weak. Took a big risk fighting a lv 4 Poochyena with Fangs, but survived.

Came across several tough pokemon for Fangs. Had to run away a few times, but in the end I got up to lv 10. Then I headed up to Route 102 and fought all the trainers there with Toxey at the top (to switch out, for it was still weak and could easily be killed). I found a duplicate pokemon, and went on with the usual business in Petalburg. Another duplicate on Route 104 and fought all the trainers. Toxey in the meantime evolved into Beautifly. She has ridiculous amount of special attack, but her regular defense along with her special defense was low. Fangs and Splash remained in the background, but as of now, both of them have high attack, but their other stats are lower, Splash is especially slow. Fangs however, is ridiculous. All his stats are 10-12, while his speed is 14. I hope that changes once he levels up.
