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

Closed

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.

Count me in. Being an enslaved pokemon has always been my secret dream since my embryo days.

I do the same thing in strategy games for example in War In The Pacific Admiral Edition i would give people's names from forums to ship captains/plane pilots/unit_commanders etc
