If you've been reading my updates, you will know I recently did a Nuzlocke run of Pokemon Red Version. I used my original cartridge on my old Gameboy Color, no emulators for me ^^. The image I submitted is a sprite collage of my final team and all those I lost during the game (Red=Lives, Blue=Fainted).

I played the Nuzlocke following these rules:
Any Pokémon that faints is consider dead and I will store in the PC for good (no sense releasing them when I can store them for after the challenge).
I may only catch the first Pokémon encountered in each area, and none else. If the first Pokémon encountered faints or flees, there are no second chances. If there's a static encounter in the area, I am allowed to capture them despite already capturing a Pokémon in that area. It's Gen 1 so the Shiny Rule doesn't apply. The only exception I'm making is when catching a Red Exclusive that my brother requires for his Pokedex, but I am not allowed to ever use said Pokémon or the one he trades me for it.
I must also nickname all of my Pokémon, and I will be using a Lantern theme, naming them after a random character from the Green Lantern comic series (will use a random generator for added laughs).
If I black out (lose all Pokémon in my team) it's a Game Over and I lose the challenge. Hence I'll play the rest of the game as normal just to get the remaining Red exclusives my brother needs.
Species/Dupes Clause: Adjusting the first encounter rule to prevent the me from having to catch multiple of the same Pokémon, for the sake of variety. Generally this means that I can keep fighting Pokémon in the area until one is encountered that has not been caught yet, which then immediately counts as the first encounter.
No using the Master Ball
No catching/using Legendary Pokémon
If I have no Pokémon that can use a certain field move (e.g. Cut, Surf, etc) that is required to continue through any given point of the game, I may catch another Pokémon that can learn said field move. However, it cannot be used in battle for any reason, and must be permanently boxed as soon as I get another Pokémon that can use said field move.
Modifying the "first encounter only" rule for the Safari Zone, allowing any encounter until I catch one Pokémon in the entire area.
Finally the Challenge only starts once I get my first Pokeballs, so any encounters before then do not count as I am unable to catch them.
It was a fun playthrough and I can see why people would play the game this way as it does add a bit more difficulty, forcing you to treat each battle carefully, for one wrong move and you may lose a team member.

After completing the game my team consisted of:
Relok Hag - Venusaur (survived)
St Walker - Flareon (fainted to Mewtwo)
Braach - Haunter (survived)
Anti-Mnitr - Snorlax (fainted to Mewtwo)
Fury-Six - Graveler (survived)
Despotelis - Seadra (survived)

I want to give special notice to Fury-Six who apart from Relok Hag being my starter, my Graveler is my oldest surviving Pokemon since I caught him at Mt Moon. Also St Walker was my best defense against Psychic types due to having the highest special stat without being weak to them. And lastly Braach, he was a speedy little power-house to my team and he survived a boss fight with Mewtwo thanks to his hypnosis allowing Fury-Six to finish the job.

I will now show you a list of those Pokemon I lost during the game:
1. Rattata - Vice
2.    Ekans - Norchavius
3.    Spearow - Antipathy
4.    Pidgey - Mogo
5.    Oddish - Zilius Zox
6.    Beedrill - Chummuck
7.    Diglett - Alan Scott
8.    Mankey - Gion
9.    Growlithe - Graxus
10.    Rattata - Guygardner
11.    Gloom - Clypta
12.    Electrode - Herupa
13.    Snorlax - G'Hu
14.    Spearow - Bro Hymn
15.    Doduo - Shedd
16.    Dodrio - Miss Bloss
17.    Ditto - Parallax
18.    Lapras - JaneJordan

Will I ever do another Nuzlocke with the other games? Maybe in the future.
