Any one want to do a run with me? I'm debating doing Ruby or Fire Red. You'll be committing to writing a short story or comic to depict your journey if you decide to do it.
If you don't know what the Nuzlock Challenge is, you should search it and read the original comic.
Its basically a way to make pokemon much harder, force you to bond with your pokemon, and use pokemon you normally wouldn't.
There are two main rules, but you can add others.
The main rules are:
1. Any pokemon that faints is considered dead and must be released.
2. You may only catch the first pokemon you encounter in each area/route/town/cave/ect.
Other possible rules: Limited pokemon center uses, no healing other than pokemon centers, no legendaries, no saves in caves, no using your starter, ect.
The idea is we' do a weekly journal/comic and compare experiences, write a story into the game, yadda yadda.
An important aspect is to nickname every pokemon.

I'm game.
Additional rules for my game:
3. No healing outside pokemon centers, excluding moves of my pokemon (restore, etc.) and berries. Berries may not be used outside of battles.
4. No legendaries
5. No saves in caves.
6. No flash.
7. No legendaries.
8. Only one pokeball may be used per catchable pokemon.
9. No flying. No swimming unless completely necessary (no shortcuts).
10. No 'tool' pokemon who gets all of the HM moves. One HM per pokemon.

I may add other rules later on.
My game of choice is Ruby.
