Pokemon Firered but I ban all the best Pokemon | Hardcore Nuzlocke livestream

Pokemon has long since been a franchise close to my heart, and many of the classics I've replayed, but that feeling just isn't there anymore. As many before me have done, I have arrived to the conclusion that a "Nuzlocke" challenge, may be my salvation. I want to go through all of the generations of Pokemon and defeating them in a Hardcore Nuzlocke! There's just one problem... Fire Red is way too easy for a tactician such as myself, as such, I've banned the 10 encounters I've deemed the strongest in the run, they are as follows: Starmie, Alakazam, Snorlax, Gengar, Nidoking, Nidoqueen, Slowking, Gyarados, Venusaur, Blastoise.

I'll be playing using the following rules:
-Can only catch the first pokemon on each route(No duplicate species)
-If a pokemon faints it is no longer usable
-Must nickname all pokemon
-No outleveling the gym leader's ace
-Battles on set mode
-No items in battle
