Hey there, I've actually been doing a Blue Version Nuzlocke for the past couple months :P (been playing in spurts). It was originally for the Let's Play contest before I dropped out due to not wanting to write the massive updates.
So I'm going to post about it here in smaller updates now! Here's how it went so far...
-I pick Squirtle, name him Stu, and head out.
-Catch myself a Pidgey, Rattata, Metapod and Nidoran-F in the area around Viridian, name them Zaku, Buck, Katz and Jill respectively.
-I easily defeat Brock with Stu
-I screw up on route 3 and fail to catch a Spearow.
-I catch a Zubat in Mt. Moon but box it because Zubat is fucking useless.
-I get through Mt. Moon without losing anything to that Rocket's infamous lv 16 Raticate
-I catch a Sandshrew on Route 4, which I name Lan and a Bellsprout (named Trap) and Abra on Routes 24 and 25.
-I box the Abra and beat Misty easily using Trap and Katz.
-On the way to Vermillion I don't get anything interesting, but I do get a Diglett in Diglett's cave. However I prefer Lan since he's a lot less likely to get killed.
- I catch a Drowzee on Route 11 as well and name it Freddy, but box him since Katz is still doing good at this point.
-Lan, now a Sandslash, utterly demolishes Lt. Surge.
-I fail to catch anything useful on Routes 9 and 10, but get a Machop in Rock Tunnel. I decide to stick with my current team though.
-In Celadon I pick up an Eevee, put in in my box
-I decide to finally bench Katz the Butterfree, and take out Freddy the Drowzee to replace him.
-I steamroll through Giovanni and the Pokemon Tower after evolving Freddy
-Freddy and Zaku then proceed to make short work of Erika, and I get my 4th badge without any casualties.
-I plough through both routes to Fuchsia City, picking up a Snorlax and 3 motherfucking Bellsprout along the way.
-I am now preparing to assault Silph Co.
So that's how I got to where I am now. I managed to get this far without a single casualty (though Blue's lv 23 Gyarados gave me a scare when it pulled out Hydro pump (wtf game) against Jill the Nidoqueen. Thankfully, Jill had like 7 levels on it so she survived).
I currently have 7 Pokemon on my main team (I always rotate one of them through the pc obviously), all at level 33 or 34 (no grinding except on Freddy to catch him up, all from trainer battles since Misty). They are, in order of acquisition:
Stu the lv 34 Wartortle (Just got Surf, greatly improving his power. Evolves soon, which is good since he's kind of getting relatively weak)
Buck the lv 34 Raticate (who is a lot more badass than you'd expect)
Jill the lv 34 Nidoqueen (holding off on TMs until I really need them, so she's only middle of the pack. Also, no Ground STAB sucks.)
Zaku the lv 34 Pidgeotto (Only flying type since I've managed to OHKO all three Spearow I've encountered so far, anticipating his evolution greatly)
Lan the lv 34 Sandslash (has Slash which crits pretty much 100% of the time, making him a total powerhouse. Physical bulk is awesome too)
Trap the lv 34 Weepinbell (waiting for Razor Leaf before evolving, just 3 levels away! Good even unevolved though)
Freddy the lv 33 Hypno (Hypno is sooooooo good in generation I, special stat is 115 giving him great bulk AND power. Has usable attack as well, giving him actual coverage options).
I'll do another update after I beat Sabrina and Koga (I'll be doing one right after the other so I might as well roll them into one). It will be more like this update than the scramble updates I'm most well known for I'm afraid. I've found that I lose the desire to play these things if I have to write really long updates and record stuff as I play. Still, someone might be interested so why not :P
