Nuzlocked Red, tried to stick to a natural progression guideline (Most level-upping comes from fighting fights that naturally occur as you progress). This was to prevent overleveling and making the challenge a challenge. However had to break it several times when replacing lost squad members.

Two things took their boot to my butt: Gary and an ungodly amount of Crits. I ALWAYS lost someone at Gary, every fight. Still the game woulda been easy-mode because my Charmander, who had to come in and save the rest of the group's butt all the time, kept getting his pick of XP and got overleveled. However, a Crit at the Fighting Dojo took him down. I could have used my Kadabra there, had he not got the double-shot of being Critted by Gary at Ghosttown. And I could have used my Haunter had I ever used Ghost pokemon before and known that the he would in fact NOT singlehandedly rip apart the Poison Gym. That's the kind of path of destruction that followed me throughout the game. Only one original team member, FEATHERS the PIDGEOT, survived the entire game, but I did end up winning.

Then I tried a Crystal Nuzlocke, MIRACULOUSLY defeated Whitney, then lost my entire crew trying in vain to catch that Red Gyrados.
