And no, the N doesn't stand for Nuzlocke. XP
This is an N Run. Your probably unfamiliar with it, so I'll provide the rules.
The Rules
More Info on Route Rule
Basically, I can only use Pokemon found before the upcoming Gym battle. So for the Lenora battle, anything found in Route 3, Wellspring Cave and Pinwheel Forest (Outside) is fair game. But none of the Pokemon found on those places can be used in the Burgh battle. So basically, I never really get to raise my Pokemon (Maybe Frustration will be a good investment)
Episode 1 - Crit Hax and Ramprages!
Episode 2: Its a Pointless Phone Call
Episode 3: Battling the Spice Boys
Because I release all my fainted Pokemon, I can't exactly play too aggressively with Pansear, as I'm really in a bind if it dies. The trainers are really easy, even though I consider myself under leveled (Not being allowed to grind does that to you). But yeah, trainers are a joke. Maybe I should put them in "You Laugh, You Lose".
As for the Gym Leader, who I call Green Hair Spice Boy, ironically, Lillipup is the only challenge of the battle. Because you should have your Monkey, it will pose no challenge to you (even if its at level 10). The only way it will pose a challenge is if it gets too many Work Up boosts. I have to release Lillipup after this battle, so I might as well use it until it dies (Harsh, I know). It almost beat Cilan's Lillipup, but lost the speed tie. I end up having to sacrifice Purrloin to defeat it. Pansear gets two level ups off of Pansage, and gains...more defense than attack >.<. Good thing I ditch it before Lenora though. The reward, Work Up, is a pretty nice reward for in-game purposes.
I'm gonna end this here. I know it was short, but the next episode will be longer, I promise.

This is an N Run. Your probably unfamiliar with it, so I'll provide the rules.
The Rules
- Pokemon can only be used if they can be found within a two route radius of my current destination (explained better later)
- Starter is the exception, and can be used all the time
- Highest Level Pokemon can't be any higher than the Area Gym Leader's Highest Level Pokemon
- Can't revisit any routes.
- Fainted Pokemon must be released

Episode 1 - Crit Hax and Ramprages!
So, I picked Oshawott as my eternal partner. He's got a sword, so he's eternally cool. Losing to both Rivals is a great way to start off -_-. I really dislike all the explanations in the beginning. I hope in Gen.6, we get the option to skip out on the "Do you know how to catch Pokemon?" lesson.
I find a Lillipup in the second patch of grass. As I weaken it, I get critted twice, and black out already (*insert rampage here*). But, because of the lack of a black out rule, I get to continue. I catch another Lillipup (on the exact same tile of grass as the first one) with one PokeBall. I call it "Pupillil". Now I need to find a Patrat. Guess what it does? If you said "land a Critical Hit", you deserve a prize. Fortunately, I don't black out again, and catch it. YAY, the route is over!
I buy 5 Potions and 3 PokeBalls. Then step outside and hear about something at the town square. So, being the curious teenager I am, I decide to check it out. Turns out its just another speech >.<. So, I mash "A" to get through it fast. Then we talk with N, who I think has mental problems if he thinks Pokemon can talk
. N's the guy this playthrough is named after, by the way. Now, we battle!
He brings out a cat with really bad attacking stats, even worse defensive stats, and a movepool deserving the "rubbish award". Yeah, Purrloin sucks (Its name sounds like Sirloin though, which is a kind of steak. Too bad SirloinSteak is too long for a name).
Anyways, back to the battle. Purrloin is really easy to beat, because it fails at everything, except for speed. Its annoying with Growl, because it prolongs the battle. It gives a lot of EXP though to any Pokemon that's under Level 7, which my team is entirely composed of. So yay for easy experience!

Episode 2: Its a Pointless Phone Call
Alright, Accumula Town is boring. So, lets head out to Route 2. We receive a pointless phone call from our mother, telling us she's going to hang up now >.<. Who does that? Her gift isn't so pointless though; its a pair of Running Shoes. Unfortunately, the C Gear had to remove HGSS's interface on the bottom screen, which was one of my favorite parts about the game.
Now I need to find a Purrloin, as per the rules of the run. In doing so, I get more Crit Hax, and Patrat dies. I didn't really care, as Patrat isn't exactly a great Pokemon. Takes forever to find a Purrloin (20% encounter chance, no way!). But I do find one, and catch it. As I said above though, Purrloin is terrible, so it'll most likely be used for cannon fodder.
At the end of Route 2, Bianca wants to have a battle. So I let her have one. I flinch hax her Lilipup to death (Finally, some hax for me!). Because of her bad taste in starters, Tepig can't withstand Oshawott's attacks, and quickly retreats into its PokeBall.
In Stiration City, the first thing you want to do ALWAYS, is get the Monkey from the DreaImyard. Essentially, it removes anything that would be challenging against the next Cheren battle, and more importantly, the upcoming Gym battle.
Cheren's Snivy is easy experience for Pansear, even though Incinerate sucks as much as a vacuum cleaner does. Pansear ends up criting his Purrloin, who dies just as fast as Shiny did. Easiest $800 I ever made. So, lets go challenge Gym.
They say this Gym is a Grass/Fire/Water gym, depending on your starter, but its a mix of Lillipup, Patrat and Purrloins. Unfortunately, I ran out of free time this morning, so I get to call it quits right now. Fantastic >.<
