You know what sucks about the Hoenn Region on a Nuzlocke? Almost no early-game Pokemon have good bulk!! Wattson took out 2 of my Pokemon with no trouble, and my thrid barely survived. And if you dont get lucky and get a Geodude in Granite Cave you are almost certainly beat.

Platinum Nuzlocke - Part 2
Got through Oreburgh and Eterna Gyms with some casualties, but minor ones. Kamekku (Psyduck) destroyed Roark's Geodude and Onix with ease, and was just about to kill off Cranidos when the little rock-head landed a critical hit Headbutt, killing the weakened Kamekku. You served its role well in killing Geodudes and Onixes with Water Gun, little duck. RIP. Soon after, I headed to Route 207, encountering a Ponyta, but accidentally killed it with a Critical Hit Mach Punch. I hate criticals!
Leaving that area, I ventured back to Jubilife, catching Seto [Zubat
] in Ravaged Path. Daizu [Shinx ] evolved along the way. Heading further north, I reached Floaroma Town, dispatching the Galactic goons at Valley Windworks without much trouble. There, I caught Wataru [Shellos ], a more-than-adequate replacement for my fallen Psyduck. I left some Honey on the tree in Floaroma Meadow, but unfortunately was only able to catch Mitsuwa [Combee ]. Heading further north onto Route 205, I met Shigeru [Shellos ], who wasn't quite as good as my other Shellos.
After beating a whole lot of trainers, I finally entered Eterna Forest. I really hoped that I would be able to snatch a Budew, but instead I met Yamato [Cascoon]. My catches so far have been overwhelmingly male. After easily defeating the trainers in the forest with some help from Cheryl and her Chansey, I found myself near some fishermen, who were equally easy, and entered Eterna City. I met Cynthia, who gave me the Cut HM, which I quickly taught to Fumiya [Bidoof ], my excellent HM slave. Heading east onto Route 211, I was very happy to find Masaki [Bronzor] who will be quite helpful later on, and Hypnosis is excellent as well. Here, I decided that I would stop training Daizu [Luxio ] and still debated whether I would train Shigeru [Shellos ], not really liking Gastrodon to be my main Water-type.
Heading back into Eterna, and finding everything blocked due to Cut trees and Cycling Road, I challenged the Gym. Thanks to Monferno, Staravia, and Bronzor all being strong against Grass-types, this Gym was a breeze until Gardenia. Turtwig and Cherrim were easy enough, but Roserade landed a critical hit Grass Knot on Masaki [Bronzor] which brought it down to just 10 HP, not enough to survive another. Not wanting to risk the frail Akihiro [Staravia] or damaged Nobunaga [Monferno ] taking more than one hit from Roserade, my new fighter Seto [Zubat ] stepped into battle. Even at Level 5 with a measly 22 HP, he managed to take a Grass Knot AND two Poison Stings before going down, allowing me to confuse Roserade and heal Nobunaga just to ensure that even a critical would not bring me down. RIP, valiant fighter! From there, Nobunaga ended Roserade's life with a powerful Flame Wheel, and I received the Grass Knot TM, which I decided to save for now. Onto the Galactic Building!

Platinum Nuzlocke - Part 3
I entered the Galactic Building, laughing off the weak trainers (with the exception of one grunt with a Kadabra, which Masaki [Bronzor] had to fight 1-on-1 but beat in the end. With no damaging move except Extrasensory, Masaki can't damage the Stunkies. Made it without trouble to the top floor, where Jupiter was holding the Bike Shop owner and his Clefairy hostage. I stepped up and challenged her, feeling that she would be as easy as Mars. Indeed, her Zubat was a cinch - but then she sent out Skuntank, which I had forgotten about.
Masaki, who was still out from the Zubat fight (remember, I'm playing on "set" mode) had to quickly retreat, as it couldn't damage Skuntank at all. I switched in Akihiro [Staravia], thinking that Intimidate would help lessen the damage. However, the crafty Skuntank responded with a critical hit Night Slash, bypassing the Intimidate and killing my poor Akihiro in just one shot. RIP. I quickly brought in Wataru [Shellos ] to finish the Skuntank off with Mud Bomb. After exchanging hits, the Skuntank was about to die.Another Night Slash on Wataru would bring him to around 3 HP, so I considered switching in Nobunaga [Monferno ] and Mach Punching for the kill, but realized that a critical Night Slash could possibly take out my fiery ape. I selected Mud Bomb again, and - as I had feared - the next Night Slash was another critical hit, slaying Wataru. RIP. Nobunaga, enraged by the death of two companions at the hands of this skunk, quickly killed it with a Mach Punch.
Needless to say, this battle was a disaster, stripping me of two important party members, especially Akihiro, who I had planned to keep until the end. I sadly moved on, receiving a bike from the man I had just saved and an egg from Cynthia. It soon hatched into a male Togepi, which I named Norisuke [Togepi]. Bold with Serene Grace is pretty great - my luck with Pokemon natures has been great, unlike my luck with these untimely criticals.
I also took out Daizu [Luxio] due to the loss of two party members. Venturing onto Route 206 after defeating several trainers coming down Cycling Road, I entered the grass and hoped that I would find a good replacement for the fallen Akihiro and Wataru. I prayed not to find a Bronzor or Zubat - and thankfully, I was presented with a female Gligar! I quickly caught it, finding that it had a Gentle nature, and named it Kamiko [Gligar ]. Unfortunately, at least at the moment, neither Kamiko nor Norisuke is especially useful - Kamiko can only do damage with Quick Attack and Knock Off, while Norisuke doesn't even have any damaging moves. I considered using my Grass Knot and Return TMs, but decided against it for the moment, instead teaching Kamiko Rock Tomb that I had received from Roark. Entering the Wayward Cave through the hidden Basement entrance, I crossed my fingers for a Gible...but instead, a Bronzor appeared. I caught it, naming it Miyaji [Bronzor]. It can't compare to the superior Masaki [Bronzor], so it will be boxed soon. Frustratingly, the next three random encounters were ALL Gible! I went to the end of the cave and picked up the Earthquake TM, teaching it to Kamiko, knowing that I won't be using it on a Gible in this run, and then exited the B1 level.
Heading into the main Wayward Cave area, I accidentally stumbled on a double battle, which I had forgotten about. Here, a Buneary landed a surprisingly powerful Frustration on Nobunaga while I killed off the other trainer's Pokemon. I brought in the healthier Daizu as backup, but he was promptly killed by a critical hit Frustration! RIP. I'm the one frustrated right now - three losses of solid team members so close together! Nobunaga once again ended up saving the day with a strong Mach Punch to the face of the smug bunny. Exiting the cave with yet another casualty, I continued to train Kamiko and Norisuke, although they are still not powerful enough to take on the trainers to the east. Nobunaga, who hasn't been trained much lately due to the need to level up my new fighters, is also falling behind on levels. This Nuzlocke is more challenging than I had expected, and the critical hits are killing me!

Part 6. Rattata
After what appeared to be hours, Luka had finally stopped singing, a rather bittersweet feeling. On one hand, I adored her singing, but on the other, there was only so long before it got annoying. All the trainers we happened to walk by also seemed to cover their ears and speed up when they heard Luka approaching, and for the life of me I couldn't figure out why. Wasn't her singing amazing?
The next trainer we passed after Luka had stopped singing was a Youngster walking by with his Rattata. Upon seeing Luka and I walking by, he yelled out and challenged us to a battle.
"Hey! You look new, wanna battle?" The boy asked me.
"Sure, it'll be good practice for this Geodude I just caught." I replied.
"Geo!" Luka agreed cheerfully.
The two of us looked for a prime location to battle and as we walked a bit in our search he introduced himself, "So my name's Joey, I just started my journey and decided that I'm going to be the number one trainer!"
"Me t-" I began until Joey broke me off.
"Of Rattata!"
"Excuse me?" I asked, clearly confused now.
"You see, I just really...really REALLY love Rattata because one day when I was little I got lost in my backyard and then there was this amazing Rattata that helped me find my way home and then from then on I decided that I wanna raise Rattata forever and ever and ever and I...." As Joey spoke, I realised he just wasn't going to shut up any time soon eventually zoned him out, forgetting about the battle we were supposed to have.
"Oh I found a spot to battle!" Joey exclaimed, snapping me out of my zoning out at last.
"Sweet" I replied. I turned to Luka and checked to see if she was battle ready.
"Dude!" Was all the confirmation I needed.
Joey and I took our places on our little battle field and Luka took center field as Joey's Rattata did the same.
"All right Rattata, let's show them that you're in the top percentage of Ratatta!" Joey shouted proudly.
"Ratta!" Was the brave little rat's reply.
Luka merely winked at the Rattata and the battle was on. Joey fired off the first command, telling his "top percentage" Rattata to Tackle Luka. With amazing speed, the Rattata charged at Luka, colliding with her, but merely bouncing off her literally rock hard body. The Rattata shook his head to snap himself out of the slight daze from the impact, and was right back at his assault. Luka only giggled as the Rattata made futile efforts at damaging Luka. At last, I was starting to feel bad for the Rattata, who was obviously starting to become tired and commanded Luka to Tackle her opponent back. With startling grace, the Geodude hit her mark, instantly taking down the tired rodent.
"Nice work, Luka!" I called out, proud of my friend.
"My Rattata! NOOOOOOOO!" Joey yelled, rushing to the field to pick up his fainted partner. "How could this happen?! My Rattata is in the top percentage of Rattata! He is the best!"
I could tell a rant from Joey was approaching so I took that opportunity to run off with Luka before he noticed.

Platinum Nuzlocke - Part 4
Having completely forgotten about the now-accessible Old Chateau, I headed west out of Eterna City to take a look. I used Repels to make sure that I wouldn't get into a random Gastly encounter. I went straight into the TV room to meet and catch Ichi [Rotom]. I went back to Eterna and received the Secret Key from the man in the PokeMart, then went back to the Galactic building and opened up the secret room, switching Ichi into Wash Forme and teaching it Hydro Pump. I trained Ichi against Gastlys and equipped an Exp. Share to Norisuke [Togepi] to get them up to speed. After a few battles, Norisuke leveled up and evolved into a Togetic! I then left Eterna to the south and went back down Cycling Road, and headed east onto Route 207. The trainers here were no trouble at all, and I continued onto Route 208. There, I wandered into some wild grass and encountered Ayaka [Roselia ]. I continued to train Kamiko [Gligar ] and Ichi here, then headed into Hearthome City. First, I entered Bebe's house and received a gift, a Eevee which I named Mizuki [Eevee ]. She was female and had a Calm nature, which was ideal for the Vaporeon that I had wanted! However, I won't be getting a Water Stone for some time yet.
Without anything else to do, and unable to proceed east or south, I explored Hearthome, got some TMs, an Amulet Coin, and a Shell Bell, then headed to the Gym with everyone around Level 25. The regular trainers were a cakewalk, even though I didn't use Norisuke or Mizuki at all (Norisuke STILL has no damaging moves, while Mizuki only has Normal-type moves). Nobunaga, Ichi, Kamiko, and Masaki [Bronzor] did a fine job of killing off the hordes of Gastly and Misdreavus. I soon arrived at Fantina, who led with a Duskull that was easily taken care of by Kamiko's Faint Attack. By this point, I had decided to do the Nuzlocke in "shift" mode instead of "set" to make it a little easier, and Mismagius was about to come out. I decided to keep Kamiko in, to see how much a Faint Attack would do. Mismagius started with Confuse Ray, and Kamiko hurt herself in her confusion. She then took a Shadow Ball to the face and responded with Faint Attack, taking away just about half of the Mismagius's HP. I switched out Kamiko, who couldn't take another hit, and sent in Norisuke, predicting a Shadow Ball. Instead, Fantina used Psybeam, which did little damage to the defensive Norisuke, who responded with Yawn. Using Nobunaga and Ichi was too risky due to the Mismagius having Psybeam and Shadow Ball, respectively, and I suddenly realized that I lacked options.
I decided to keep chipping away at the enemy's health with Masaki's Extrasensory, which did very little damage to it. Even worse, Masaki was also hit with Confuse Ray and began hurting itself in its confusion. For a while, I alternated between Masaki and Norisuke, depending on whether a Shadow Ball or Psybeam was coming, putting it to sleep when I had an extra turn, and using a Potion or two when I needed it. I completely forgot that Fantina had a Super Potion >_< I realized I was in trouble, and sent in Mizuki to take a few hits and Sand-Attack the Mismagius, which helped, as it missed a Shadow Ball. Unfortunately, I ended up really needing a free switch-in, so my Masaki bravely sacrificed itself to Super Potion Kamiko, with the Mismagius just over half HP. RIP. Now, I faced a real problem - Norisuke and Mizuki were useless, Ichi had taken two Psybeams during the earlier switching and wouldn't survive a Shadow Ball, and Nobunaga would be killed before he could kill Mismagius with Flame Wheel. I realized I only had one choice, and sent in Kamiko and used Rock Tomb to lower the Mismagius's Speed while also bringing it into KO range, but got Confused in the process and ended up hurting itself when I went for the KO with Faint Attack. I decided that Nobunaga would just have to absorb a hit, so I sent him in, took the Shadow Ball with 4 HP left, and finally KO'ed the Mismagius with a Flame Wheel. The bulky Ichi, even with a weakness to both Shadow Claw and Sucker Punch, easily took care of the last Pokemon, a frail Haunter. This was an extremely difficult battle, and I really should have prepared for Mismagius better - I had underestimated the disruptive power of Confuse Ray, and was lucky to have escaped with only one death.

Having completely forgotten about the now-accessible Old Chateau, I headed west out of Eterna City to take a look. I used Repels to make sure that I wouldn't get into a random Gastly encounter. I went straight into the TV room to meet and catch Ichi [Rotom]. I went back to Eterna and received the Secret Key from the man in the PokeMart, then went back to the Galactic building and opened up the secret room, switching Ichi into Wash Forme and teaching it Hydro Pump. I trained Ichi against Gastlys and equipped an Exp. Share to Norisuke [Togepi
] to get them up to speed. After a few battles, Norisuke leveled up and evolved into a Togetic! I then left Eterna to the south and went back down Cycling Road, and headed east onto Route 207. The trainers here were no trouble at all, and I continued onto Route 208. There, I wandered into some wild grass and encountered Ayaka [Roselia ]. I continued to train Kamiko [Gligar ] and Ichi here, then headed into Hearthome City. First, I entered Bebe's house and received a gift, a Eevee which I named Mizuki [Eevee ]. She was female and had a Calm nature, which was ideal for the Vaporeon that I had wanted! However, I won't be getting a Water Stone for some time yet. Without anything else to do, and unable to proceed east or south, I explored Hearthome, got some TMs, an Amulet Coin, and a Shell Bell, then headed to the Gym with everyone around Level 25. The regular trainers were a cakewalk, even though I didn't use Norisuke or Mizuki at all (Norisuke STILL has no damaging moves, while Mizuki only has Normal-type moves). Nobunaga, Ichi, Kamiko, and Masaki [Bronzor] did a fine job of killing off the hordes of Gastly and Misdreavus.

Platinum Nuzlocke - Part 5
Exiting Hearthome to the east, my rival was all too easy after the difficult Fantina battle. Heading into some wild grass on Route 209, I found and caught Toshiro [Staravia]. After grinding through all the trainers on Route 209, and skipping the Lost Tower for now, I made it into Solaceon Town and immediately headed to the ruins. Inside, I caught Deco [Unown], an Unown D. Also, one of the rooms contained a hidden Water Stone, which I used to evolve Mizuki [Eevee ] into a Vaporeon! I noticed that it was possible to find Scyther on Route 210 to the north of Solaceon, and came up with a plan - I would use my recently caught Ayaka [Roselia ], who was at Lv. 20, in combination with a Repel, to increase my chances of finding a Scyther on the first try. When a Pokemon jumped out, lo and behold - it was a male Scyther! However, this mantis was tougher than I had imagined - I tried Paralyzing it with Ayaka's Stun Spore, only to have it outspeed me and OHKO with a powerful Wing Attack. RIP. Then, Norisuke [Togetic ] put the Scyther to sleep with Yawn, and I used Kamiko [Gligar ] and her Faint Attack to wear it down, then caught the Scyther and named it Akuma [Scyther ]. He is Quirky with the Technician ability, which is excellent - the trend of finding Pokemon with excellent natures / abilities continues! :)
Akuma needed quite a bit of leveling up before he was on par with the rest of the team, but he easily tore through the trainers on Route 210 with a STAB, Technician-boosted Wing Attack. However, I soon found myself unable to get past a group of Psyducks who all had headaches and no Advil, so I was forced to take the eastern path. After fighting a whole slew of trainers and experiencing the near-death of Nobunaga [Monferno] at the hands of a Drifblim with an Ominous Wind boost under its belt, I made it to Veilstone City. I immediately headed to the Department Store, buying some of the excellent TMs available - two Fire Blasts (one for Nobunaga and one for Norisuke), one Focus Blast for Nobunaga,one Thunder for Ichi [Rotom], one Blizzard for Mizuki [Vaporeon ]. Hooray, Norisuke and Mizuki can do respectable damage now! I headed south onto Route 214 and began fighting more trainers, which were extremely easy due to the addition of my new moves, and caught Kaede [Rhyhorn ] in some wild grass.

Platinum Nuzlocke - Part 5
Not many exciting events happened in this episode. After going through the rest of Route 214, I headed into the wild grass at Valor Lakefront, meeting and catching Yuma [Bibarel]. I continued on through the Grand Hotel, catching Konata [Buizel ] on Route 213, and reached Pastoria City soon after. Here, I spent some time in the Underground and found a Heart Scale, which I'll need to teach Air Slash to Norisuke [Togetic ] when he evolves. I stopped by the Great Marsh to see what I could find, and caught Hisashi [Hoothoot ]. Then, not wanting the challenge the Gym just yet, I flew all the way back to Hearthome City.
Here, I headed through the south exit and began fighting trainers, whose Pokemon were all 5-6 levels lower than mine by this point. I skipped the Trophy Garden wild grass, since I want to wait for the possibility of catching another Eevee when Backlot announces that there are Eevee in his garden. I also found and caught Sumida [Kirlia] on Route 212. I continued to head south and then east, defeating trainers along the way without much trouble. The addition of my new TM moves has really helped! Once I reach Pastoria from the west side, I'll go ahead and challenge the Gym.

Nobunaga was the first to take on this life-and-death challenge. He has seen the deaths of many allies, including his earliest friends Akihiro and Daizu. Although he is reserved and independent, he continues to want vengeance for his slain friends, and is even more savage and powerful in battle because of it. As the oldest member of the team, Nobunaga has experienced many battles and is the natural leader of the group. He is just as fierce in battle, with an all-out attack style and fiery spirit.

Although he is young in years, Norisuke is wise. Born at a time of carnage, Norisuke was still a small Togepi when he saw the vicious deaths of Akihiro and Wataru at the hands of a Skuntank. Soon after, his closest friend and mentor, Daizu, was slain in a sneak attack by a Buneary. Surprisingly resilient, Norisuke understands and accepts that this journey will be grief-stricken. He tends to play a more defensive style in battle, attacking when he sees an opening in the enemy defenses. His closest companion is now Mizuki.

Mizuki [Vaporeon]
Lv. 31 | Calm Nature | Water Absorb | Hearthome City
Originally born in the Johto region to Bill's Jolteon and Espeon, Mizuki was given as a gift to Bebe in Sinnoh, and soon became a part of this group. Having been taken away from her parents early on, Mizuki is no stranger to sadness. She soon evolved into a Vaporeon, which she had dreamed of being since she was a child. Strong defensively, Mizuki is always willing and able to take a hit for the team. She always remains calm, cool, and collected inside and outside of combat. She and Norisuke have become great friends.

Kamiko [Gligar]
Lv. 31 | Gentle Nature | Hyper Cutter | Route 206
The playful, fun-loving Kamiko was found by the newly hatched, curious Norisuke. She happily joined the group, and like Mizuki, has her roots in Johto, with both parents migrating from that region. She is always considerate, and is the only one able to console Nobunaga after an ally's death. Although she is gentle and kind, she is also fiercely loyal to her friends, and fights until the death in battle to protect her fellow Pokemon with her excellent defensive skills.

Ichi [Rotom]
Lv. 31 | Docile Nature | Levitate | Old Chateau
Ichi had been hiding out in the Old Chateau for a long time, and had grown bored of his surroundings. When he saw Nobunaga's ailing party he decided to help them and team up for some excitement. He loves to explore and meet new Pokemon, but because he is naturally docile and somewhat shy, he is not naturally inclined to battle, unlike leader Nobunaga. However, when he does enter combat, he becomes an incredibly well-rounded fighter, skilled both offensively and defensively.

Akuma [Scyther]
Lv. 30 | Quirky Nature | Technician | Route 210
Upon meeting Nobunaga's squad, Akuma swiftly slew Ayaka, who had approached him and prepared to Stun Spore him. The other members managed to restrain him, but he was disliked by Mizuki and Ichi, who felt that he was too eager to kill. However, Nobunaga saw his incredible battle potential, and after many training sessions, Akuma had a refined battle technique and grew to be accepted by everyone. He still loves to fight, and is a vicious combatant, slaying many enemies with powerful scythes.

Captures by Area:
Not many exciting events happened in this episode. After going through the rest of Route 214, I headed into the wild grass at Valor Lakefront, meeting and catching Yuma [Bibarel
]. I continued on through the Grand Hotel, catching Konata [Buizel ] on Route 213, and reached Pastoria City soon after. Here, I spent some time in the Underground and found a Heart Scale, which I'll need to teach Air Slash to Norisuke [Togetic ] when he evolves. I stopped by the Great Marsh to see what I could find, and caught Hisashi [Hoothoot ]. Then, not wanting the challenge the Gym just yet, I flew all the way back to Hearthome City.Here, I headed through the south exit and began fighting trainers, whose Pokemon were all 5-6 levels lower than mine by this point. I skipped the Trophy Garden wild grass, since I want to wait for the possibility of catching another Eevee when Backlot announces that there are Eevee in his garden. I also found and caught Sumida [Kirlia
] on Route 212. I continued to head south and then east, defeating trainers along the way without much trouble. The addition of my new TM moves has really helped! Once I reach Pastoria from the west side, I'll go ahead and challenge the Gym.Rules:

Nobunaga [Monferno
]Lv. 31 | Lonely Nature | Blaze | Route 201
Nobunaga was the first to take on this life-and-death challenge. He has seen the deaths of many allies, including his earliest friends Akihiro and Daizu. Although he is reserved and independent, he continues to want vengeance for his slain friends, and is even more savage and powerful in battle because of it. As the oldest member of the team, Nobunaga has experienced many battles and is the natural leader of the group. He is just as fierce in battle, with an all-out attack style and fiery spirit.

Update
no story here folks (unless I get an epic battle or something). I began my journey with Nagai (Turtwig) and then added Frizy (Bidoof) and Thorns (Stary) to my party. Nagai and Thorns quickly grew to be the powerhouses of the team, and when I added Poppy (Shinx) roughly half the team could handle itself well in a fight. I also added Bri (Psyduck), Earthworm (Wurmple), and prem (Zubat) to my roster of mates.
Nagai crushed Roark. Cursing a few times on Geodude, then healing off all damage done with Absorb, and then sweeping the remainder of his team with Razor Leaf. The moment Roarks last pokmeon fell, Nagai evolved into the mighty Grotle and I prepared myself for the long haul to the second gym badge.
Nuzlocke Status
Everythings pretty sweet atm. Both Thorns and Poppy are set to evolve which gives me double intimidate which p much makes the game on easy mode for the first few gyms. Nagai is also such a boss.
