You know what? This thread inspired me to do my own Nuzlocke run on Pokémon Yellow. My Pikachu died shortly after beating Koga, but there really was no problem going on from there.

How far did I get? Lance beat me with his Dragonite which killed my ~lv50 Gyarados, Dugtrio and Kabutops. And my lv 46 Venosaur died against the first elite four guy.


Moral: DON'T EXPECT TO BEAT THE ELITE FOUR WITH LV50s! I learned that the hard way :(


...just thought I would give you a heads up :P

I beated the elite four at level 49 (except for Articuno that was lv 50) in pokemon blue (non-nuzlocke) years ago. I had a Gengar (sleep is very powerful in RBY), a  Golem and the mentioned Articuno so I could do lots of switches. And Alakazam sweeps like a boss. The other two were a Raichu and Charizard, I think.

An unlikely party to have in a Nuzlocke run using and emulator, to be honest. A Blizzard + Thunderbolt Nidoking may be able to defeat Lance at level 49. Or an Ice Beam + Thunderbolt Starmie, but Starmie is overpowered anyway.
