I'm starting a weird challenge run on Pokemon Y tonight set by @rhysharris56. Rules below:
-standard nuzlocke rules
-can only catch one pokemon for each letter of the alphabet as per the final evo. For example, picking Fennekin means I cannot catch a pokemon beggining with D
-must right a eulogy for dead pokemon (don't ask)
-must sacrifice a Mon before every gym

I'll continue to journal the run in this thread.
I have begun! I've picked up Fennekin so the letter D is used. Let's hope I get a good first encounter!
My first encounter is a Bunnelby however that counts for the letter D, and so I rerolled and got a zigzagoon, which counts for the letter L.
Just caught a Pansage, which sees S get ticked off the list. It's gonna really suck to sacrifice a mon before the gym...
We encounter Dunsparce on route 3, however D is already taken (It's as if I picked Fennekin to avoid the lame early route mons) so I rerolled and got a Bidoof.
Azurill is our next encounter taking up the letter A slot. Jeez these are filling up quickly...
And as we enter the first gym, a sacrifice must be made.
Farewell Bidoof.
Farewell Bidoof.
I'm very underlevelled for the gym and I don't have the best options, however I've found a guy trading a Fletchling for a Bunnelby in Santalune and so that's my encounter there and T ticked off!
Somehow I read Fafetched as Fletchling lol. Still very helpful for the gym tho, and T isn't ticked off but F is.
And we obtain the bug badge without a single casualty!!! I tricked the her into using her potion on her Surskit and swapped into Farfetched in that turn, set up, and swept!
We get a Budew on route 4, R is now off the list. I really don't know which Kanto starter I'm gonna choose...
We add Bulbasaur to the bench and tick V off the list!
I've caught a Skiddo on route 5 and that's a wrap for today! I have about 2 hours of gameplay untill gym 2 with loads of encounters in between so plenty to do tomorrow! Goodnight y'all.
Day 2, let's get it!
Our Fennekin has evolved! This team is starting to become powerful!
We got ourselves an Espurr which sees M ticked off the list. I have a lot of strong mons on the bench tbf...
Just as I was bragging about my mons, I get an Illumise. Oh well, anything is viable on a PT!
Whismur is my encounter in the cave. Exploud is quite strong so no complaints...
There isn't a single encounter I can get on route 8 and so we head on... This is the first time that rule has come to bite me, and certainly not the last!
Zigzagoon has evolved!
We catch a Hippopotas next, meaning that 13/26 letters are taken up...
We pick up the Jaw Fossil and tick T off the list.
I found the leaf stone and waited for Pansage to learn Seed Bomb before evolving it! A massive boost before the rock type gym!
On top of this Azurill has evolved and only needs one more level to evolve again! We about to sweep this gym!
Okay, its time to take on the gym and that means we needa sac someone.
Despite being a strong member of the team, I need to plan ahead and so Linoone goes to the box :(

We take down Grant without a casualty and that's a wrap for today. I'm gonna do a gym a day I think :)
Day three, lets GOOOO!
I'm gonna start adding a picture of the team at the start of every day

A huge pickup on route 10 as we catch an Eevee. I can choose between either Jolteon and Umbreon as those letters are the only ones free, and I've decided to go with Jolteon as I've used an Umbreon before :)
We've had our first death - and it's a big one.
Mage, our Braixen has deaded.
Eulogy coming soon.

And Quaklin' follows.
Why is there a power-up punching Lucario that I need to battle twice? Ughhhh.
The team's about to look very different...
