Pokemon platinum nuzlocke, a little tougher than the usual nuzlocke with a few extra rules (set mode, level limit and no items in-battle). I had just beaten the third gym (i guess it is technically the 4th, as you beat the 5th before the 3rd) when i decided to train my team of ghastly/machoke/meditie/bronzor/monferno/starvia. I eventually hit the level i desired, had a friend help me evolve machoke and haunter, and made my way to pastoria city. I met my rival and he challenged me to a battle. No problem, my team was in great shape! He lead off with his starvia, it's a little higher level than my pokemon, but that's no problem, all my pokemon are relatively strong compared to what you'd expect at that time in the game. I send in bronzor because i know it wont have trouble taking out a weak normal-type pokemon. Starvia uses double team, extrasensory misses, at this moment i knew i was fucked. Starvia sets up it's double teams as i still struggle to even land a single hit on it. I slowly watch my own pokemon fate away to the many weak quik- and wingattacks. I send out my own starvia, begging arceus to spare it's life, however my prayers are of no effect. My next pokemon is machamp, even with his weakness to flying, he should be able to take a hit and deal the finishing blow, and he would, had he been able to hit his target. I'm down to my last three pokemon, i know i have lost, i try to run, he won't let me. I send out monferno, a critical mach punch might just be enough, but no attack seem to land. I send out meditite, begging for a miracle as i watch her join her friends on the other site. I'm down to my last pokemon, gengar, i already know it'll die as well, it can't use any of it's special moves after all. I have no choice, i send him out, with tears in my eyes i press sucker punch, knowing that it will do little damage even if it lands, it wouldn't have mattered either way, as starvia was well hidden between it's clones. I honestly cried after losing this challenge. I had spend so much time simply grinding to get a fair level, and i really liked the pokemon i had. I really thought i'd beat this challenge, and i'm really unsatisfied with the way i lost.
After this i simply quit playing pokemon. I later had a halfhearted attempt at a nuzlocke, but i wasn't enjoying it very much and therefore it wasn't going very well. I don't even know if i'll ever get back to pokemon again.
