Yeah, everyone else is going one of these, so I thought I'd toss my name into the mix! And I wanted to make this game a little more challenging, since I can normally waltz through it pretty easily. As far as rules go:
- One pokemon per area/route/whatever - No duplicates - Set mode (never used this...) - If they die, they are either released outright or put in a box of corpses... - All of them get nicknames
I think that's all, let me know if I've missed any of the major ones. I'm new at this, never done one before!
Now, I won't be able to get to this tonight, but I will tomorrow afternoon! So sign up and get a pokemon named after you! First one in gets to be AND PICK the starter. Yeah I may be screwing myself over, but whatever let's do it!

So Paul the Squirtle, and Natwaf the hopeful Pidgey (ugh Rattata...). And praying for a Pikachu in Viridian Forest, because that would be epic. Augh want to play now.....

My apologies, was playing Fire Red for a bit so I could get through Victory Road and save at Indigo. Took a little longer than I thought. Just for the heck of it, here's my team for that:
Quick question, going through Route 1 at the beginning without pokeballs, I don't lose my chance to get one if I encounter any right now do I? Since I obviously can't catch anything yet....
Anyway, I load up th.................I mean put in the cartridge and start it up! My name is Mike, and my rival will just be Red. Blah blah blah stuff at the beginning, and we get to Oak's lab. Red's there too, but we get first pick obviously. We then meet our first team member:
Paul the adamant Squirtle, lvl 5
You'll have to tell me which natures are good and which suck, totally have no idea.
Anyway, Red wants to take me on with his lame Bulbasaur. A tackle battle ensues and Paul dominates, and had a crit in there as well.
Now off to Viridian City to grab the parcel for Oak.
The Team:
Paul the Squirtle (6)

None

That doesn't count, so you don't lose your chance.
Get Oak's parcel, bring it back to him, got pokeballs and pokedex, now time to ACTUALLY start!
Head into Route 1, and catch my first companion for Paul!
Natwaf the quiet Rattata, lvl 3
Was hoping for a Pidgey, but what can you do. Now a little bit of grinding so Red won't shred me in a minute. <3 spacebar.............I mean uh............nah, spacebar is fantastic.

So uhh, is it bad that I already had a close call?
Took on Red on route 22. He led with his Pidgey, I sent out Paul. We had a tackle battle, but Pidgey landed 2 crits to leave Paul with 4 hp. So I send out Natwaf, but Pidgey landed a sand-attack before dying. I left Natwaf in against Bulbasaur because Paul would be dominated at 4 hp. Natwaf hit 2 quick attacks and missed 2 others, Bulba got a crit in (this is gonna be a running theme I think), and Natwaf was down to 3 hp. Used my only potion, then tried to kill Bulba ASAP. Killed it with 6 health left. A bit scary to start! Lucky I didn't encounter any poke in that route either, so I can go back in after healing!

Well so far I haven't manage to kill any prospective team members, but it was close for my next two companions. Nonetheless, on route....uhh 22 I think, the one where you fight the rival, we acquired:
Genesis the naive Spearow, lvl 5
Woo flying type! Thanks to my buddy the spacebar, grinding Genesis to the rest of the party's level didn't take long. Then we ventured up to route 2, listened to the boring old man, went into the grass and caught....
Pirateking the gentle Weedle, lvl 4
Well that's good, that makes sure I can't catch it in the Forest, slightly upping the chances that I get a Pikachu! Time to head into the forest and hopefully not get poisoned and have someone die while running back to Viridian....

Holy sweet mother, Pirateking was just about ended in a battle against a level 4 Rattata. It tail whipped twice while Pirate poison stung it twice, and got it poisoned. The rat then tackled Pirate...........doing 16 damage, bringing Pirate down to 1. Paul came in to finish. My lord this is a stressful challenge! Normally a Weedle dying a few times isn't bad, but when I know I lose it if it dies now....

Hah first battle in the Forest is a Kakuna. But Pirate had just evolved into a Kakuna! Owned. Wait, so now if I see a Weedle, is that considered the first non-duplicate since I don't technically have a Weedle anymore?

Like, I understand if I found a Kakuna before Weedle had evolved, that would be the first of the area. Or, if Pirate had died and a Weedle was then first in the Forest, it would count. But I don't know about this one. If no one has a definite in a few minutes, I'm counting Weedle as a duplicate, since it kinda technically is. And then praying for Pikachu...

I'd count it as a duplicate.

Well that was quick. Paul swept the trainer with an OHKO water gun to both Geodude and Sandshrew.
Next was Brock. Water gun OHKOed Geodude quickly. Onix got the first attack in, but it was a tackle that only did 4 damage. A crit water gun took him down in one shot as well. Woo first badge get! Only important note is that Paul is now level 15
