NOTE: I'm calling this "Hard Mode" because that's the more known name. Also, title things are the way that the material covered in this post stops as I enter Union Cave, as did the last post with Violet City.
So, I start up in the afternoon and remember that Ghastly doesn't show up in Sprout Tower until the sun is fully set. So, I go in there at 8 and grab a Ghastly that I name "Peeves." I'll probably give him a better name later.
The next night, I catch a Mareep in Route 32 and name her Madison. With thundershock, she greatly helps Bob with Sprout Tower and Stoner with the Violet Gym. At level 12, Madison destroyed Falkner by spamming thundershock. I kid you not. His poor Pidgeotto got paralyzed and couldn't roost in time. I then got the egg from the guy in the mart (as I was forced to).
The next day, I train Peeves in Route 31 (Caterpies are the best grinding tools). All of a sudden, BAM! An orange shiny Metapod shows up. At that point, Ghastly had 6 licks left, which I used up, getting the Metapod to half health and paralyzed. Like a fool who forgets his other Pokemon, I use my one and only Pokeball and fail. I search the area for the Metapod I lost after getting 10 Pokeballs (that come with an extra Primier Ball), but it's not there.
I still got Peeves to level 10, though. I'll miss you, orange Metapod...
Route 32 goes down as it always did: slowly. Trainer Pokemon: Rattata, Zubat, both Nidorans, Wooper, Goldeen and a pair of Poliwags (freshly caught!). I go to Union Cave and find...A FREAKING RATTATA!

Pokemon HeartGold Nuzlocke Run (40 minutes from New Bark to Violet)
See http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68998 . It has the rules regarding this challenge run (moot's rules since I like using healing items) and a link to the original Nuzlocke comics.
I begin my adventure by plowing through the tutorial stuff with Bob, the Chikorita (a reference to my Silver Let's Play on the Youtube channel Xdude490). Bob gets to level 7 before wiping out the Rival (who I will name Rival because I gave him a random gibberish name in-game). Once I get Pokeballs from Lyra after her EXCITING tutorial, I run to Route 46 to find...a level 2 Spearow! I name it Steve and save and turn off the game.
When on the toilet one night, I pick up the game to start training Steve. A weak Spinarak poisons it, making me panic. Then I remember poison fades away (good thing too, since the world has thousands of steps while every 4 hurts Steve). With confidence, I send it out against a Rattata (another battle in Route 30) that keeps using tail whip. I beg for it not to attack, but it takes Steve down with a tackle. With my confidence crushed, I run through the route as Bob gets to level 9.
In Route 31, I find something awesome...actually no, a Rattata. I name it STUPIDrat (another reference to my Silver LP) and go to Dark Cave looking for something useful. My luck turned out well for me there, so I found a Geodude that I named Stoner. After avoiding a bug trainer, I get a useless thing from Lyra and take one step into Violet City.
