I have some personal rules to follow for my Nuzlocke run:
1. I may rage quit and restart from a save, but only if one of my team died from a critical hit.
2. I may capture some rule-breaking Pokemon, but only as an HM slave (for instance, I caught a Safari Zone/Swamp Starly as a Fly slave).
Team at Beginning:
(1) Bagel the Monferno (2) Terrance the Geodude/Graveler (3) Stephano the Luxio/Luxray
(4) Fartzel the Buizel/Floatzel (5) Happiny egg (6) Crititite the Meditite
Deaths:
1. Crititite died to a Zubat's Wing Attack in the Lost Tower.
2. Terrance died to a Bibarel's Water Gun in the swamp route.
New Members: (1) Sacre Blu the blue Shellos/Gastrodon (2) Ualpa the Shieldon
New Ragequits: 1 for some old couple being unfair and 2 for not catching anything useful in the available routes
Maylene: I forgot about fighting her Meditite and Machoke. Her powerful Lucario couldn't take down Sacre Blu, which was a level 30 Gastrodon.
Crasher Wake: I switched from Stephano to Sacre Blu as his Gyarados went out, thinking he'd switch. He didn't, but Sacre Blu took down his Gyarados with the help of a confusion-healing berry. Fartzel took down his Quagsire without a problem. It was then level 30 Fartzel versus level 30 Floatzel, with Fartzel having the advantage by being faster and using Crunch. Wake's Floatzel had a chance of freezing Fartzel with Ice Fang, but Fartzel persevered. Both Floatzels used their sitrus berries, but Fartzel won.

Let's Nuzlocke Pokemon Pearl (From Route 204 to Hearthome City)
I forgot to add in a Rage Quit Counter. Here it is:
1. Budew made a critical hit Absorb on Terrance.
2. Machop made a critical hit Karate Chop on Terrance.
I found YET ANOTHER ANOTHER GEODUDE in the cave in the middle of Route 204 (north of Jubilife). However, I found a Buizel that I named "Butzel" (because "I" looks like "T") in the Valley Windworks. I never used one before, so that's good. However, I found another in the route between Floaroma Town and Eterna Forest. I defeated it and don't care.
3. In Eterna Forest, I rage quit when a Psyduck killed Butzel and a Budew killed Terrance.
The forest was somewhat easy despite those, as Cheryl healed me between battles. A problem I had was that I skipped Mach Punch while waiting to evolve Bagel into a Monferno. I trained it to level 17 without evolving for early access to Flame Wheel, which is a good enough move for me to ignore missing Mach Punch.
Flame Wheel was so powerful that it swept away the entire Eterna Gym, except for Gardenia's Roserade, which did little with Poison Sting and Grass Knot. As I had Cut, I short-cut through the forest a few times. Last night I put honey on the Floaroma Fields sweet tree and then quit 10 whole times trying to get a female Combee. Considering that they only have Gust until evolving, I left that Combee-attracting tree to go south of Eterna City. I refused to catch a Geodude east of Eterna and accidentally killed a Zubat in Mt. Coronet.
I decided to train Stephano, my Shinx, with an Exp Share in the Wayward Cave. Mira's Kadabra helped out much more than Cheryl's Chansey, and Stephano leveled up all the way up to the rest of my team and evolved, eventually. Past the southern Mt. Coronet passageway, I caught a Meditite in Route 208. I named it "Crititite" because Stephano almost killed it with a critical hit and it almost killed Stephano with a critical hit. I renamed Butzel as "Fartzel" because "Butzel" will not make sense after it evolves.

Let's Nuzlocke Pokemon Pearl (Around Oreburgh)
I forgot to clarify: a Nuzlocke run is with fainting resulting in immediate, permanent placement in the PC and only the first Pokemon found in routes/dungeons/towns can be caught.
In Route 204 (north of Jubilife), I caught Jesse, a male Budew. I probably won't use it, as I used the Roselia family in two playthroughs. I used the Shinx family before, but I'll keep Stephano around.
Here's something funny. In Oreburgh Gate, I caught a Geodude that I named Terrance ("Terra" = land). Just north of Oreburgh, I caught another Geodude that I named Terrince (I had caught Terrance in a premier ball, so this one is not as cool and also has worse physical stats). Then, in the Oreburgh Mine, I caught YET ANOTHER Geodude that I named Terranita (female and defensive but slow).
There you have it, 3 Geodudes. I only needed one, because Rock Smashing Roark's team is a brilliant idea. I had forgotten he had 3 Pokemon, but with 4 Defense Curls and 2 Rock Polishes up, Roark had no chance to deal much damage. I sweeped the entire gym without any healing nor any fainting. I almost ran out of Rock Smash PP, but my Geodude learned Magnitude right after the battle (which didn't demand such a strong move anyways). I also taught Geodude the Stealth Rock TM Roark gave me.

Let's Nuzlocke Pokemon Pearl
Because I've already played through (Heart)Gold, Silver, and Crystal several times, I decided to pretty much quit my Pokemon HeartGold Nuzlocke text let's play. Now this is a Pokemon PEARL text let's play!
From the beginning, I had a Chimchar that I named "Bagel". I guess I was thinking about toasted bagels. Yum. In Route 202 (north of Sandgem Town), I caught a Kricketot that I named "Tweedle", like Tweedledum(b). It was really dumb, as it died to a critical hit by that route's last trainer's level 4 Shinx. In Route 203 (east of Jubilife City, in which I got the map and Poketch), I fought the blonde rival person (Lewis) and used my first potion. Despite having to use a potion, the battle went well, and I caught my own level 4 Shinx there. I named the Shinx "Stephano", after the little gold statue PewDiePie finds in his Youtube Amnesia mod Let's Plays.
Well, I'm off to watch one of those aforementioned PewDiePie videos.
