Update 1 of my Fire Red Nuzlocke. Overall it has been a pretty easy run: No deaths, some close scars, and 3 gym soloes, I think its been good so far.

Beginning through Gym Three

- Started in Pallet Town, named myself Dante and my Rival Joe
- Prevented from entering grass, went to the Lab, and picked a Bulbasaur, naming him Chobani. (I just had the Greek Yogurt so it was on my mind)
- Beat my rival in a battle after a lucky crit. Anyone else hate how Tackle has only 95 Accuracy and 35 BP while Scratch Has 100 and 40 all the way up until Gen. 5?
- Left Pallet Town, did all the crap on picking up Oaks Parcel, got the Pokedex, and went back up to Viridian City.
- On the way I caught Foster the Pidgey
- Next I caught Percy the Mankey and Rattata the Rattata. After some lovely grinding I beat my rival for the second time
- Proceeded through Viridian Forest catching Worma the Metapod. Two seconds later a Pikachu appeared... fml.
- Went into Pewter City and soloed Brock in 2 attacks with Chobani. Actually, the trainer in the gym proved to be more of a challenge than Brock did.
- Left Peweter, got the running shoes, and caught Ruffrabble the Spearow.
- Entered Mt. Moon, caught Rocker the Geodude, evolved Chobani into Ivysaur, beat Team Rocket, got a fossil, and left.
- Caught Mushu the Ekans,, beat my Rival with Percy thanks to teachig him Rock Tomb, evolved Ruffrabble into a Fearrow, met Bill, captured Only2? the Weedle and Imhmael the Oddish, then returned to Cerulean City.
- Soloed Misty with Chobani, definitely the easiest Misty Battle I have ever had.
- Got the Dig TM, KO'd a Meowth on Route 5, captured HallyBerry the Meowth on Route 6, and got to Vermillion.
- Captured Gotlegs? the Diglett in the Diglett Tunnel, and Hephalumpy the Drowzee on Route 11.
- Steamrolled through the S.S. Anne and soloed my rival with Ruffrabble.
- Got HM Cut, taught it too Gotlegs? and left the ship.
- Watched the S.S. Anne sail away painfully slowly, then went to the gym and soloed it with Gotlegs?. Though Raichu's Double Team nearly screwed me over several times. God, Digletts are so frail.
- Saved the game in front a humbled Lt. Surge.

The Team

Chobani the Ivysaur (M)
Level: 25
Nature: Quiet
Ability: Overgrow
Moves: Razor Leaf, Sleep Powder, Leech Seed, Tackle
Career Highlights: Easy soloing of Brock and Misty
Opinion: The Team Leader by far. Chobani possess the best bulk and the strongest STAB. It also has many useful support moves in Leech Seed and Sleep Powder (though it missed like 75% of the time). If this guy dies I am screwed.

Percy the Mankey (M)
Level: 25
Nature: Sassy
Ability: Vital Spirit
Moves: Low Kick, Karate Chop, Rock Tomb, Focus Energy
Career Highlights: N/A
Opinion: The first permanant member of the team and a very useful Pokemon to have. Unfortunately he suffers from the vast amount of Poison-types in the game and is taking a back seat to his fellow team mates. Evolution will be a blessing as it will give him much more power.

Ruffrabble the Fearow (M)
Level: 26
Nature: Docile
Ability: Keen Eye
Moves: Fury Attack, Pursuit, Peck, Leer
Career Highlights: Solo of my rival aboard the S.S. Anne
Opinion: Another solid Pokemon, Ruffrabble adds some backbone to my team allowing me to deal with some annoying threats. Overall I am pleased with Ruffrabbles performance.

Gotlegs? the Diglett (M)
Level: 24
Nature: Serious
Ability: Sand Veil
Moves: Cut, Magnitude, Dig, Fury Swipes
Career Highlights: Soloing the entire Vermilion Gym
Opinion: Fast, frail, and a good typing-- what you see is what you get from Gotlegs?, and he uses what he has extremely well. While his attack stat is very low, his high powered moves and ability to make "It's Super Effective" pop up on the screen all the time compensate for it. Not getting Arena Trap hurt, but he has already proved his worth and I expect him to perform just as well in the future.

The Reserves

Foster the Serious Pidgey (M); Level 2

Rattata the Gentle Rattata (M); Level 3

Worma the Lax Metapod (F); Level 5

Rocker the Mild Geodude (M); Level 8

Mushu the Jolly Ekans (M); Level 6

Only2? the Jolly Weedle (F); Level 7

Ishmael the Gentle Oddish (M); Level 13

HallyBerry the Adamant Meowth (F); Level 10

Hephalumpy the Bold Drowzee (M); Level 15

The Dead

None =D

The State of the Union

As of right now my team is looking pretty strong. There aren't to many glaring weaknesses and the future Gym Battles and Boss Battles don't look to threatening as of now. If I can avoid too many unfortunate deaths I will be able to muscle through this Nuzlocke with a victory.
