Description FORWARDS

WHAT IS THIS

Fffffft

So I've been seeing a buuuunch of Nuzlocke stuff in recently, and, it's gotten me inspired to try one myself, as traumatizing as it might end up to be. So, I borrowed my friend's Diamond-which-he-never-uses-because-he-has-all-pokemon-games and decided to try it.

Really the most appealing thing about the challenge for me is getting to comic-ize it. But, I'm going to at least try to make these pretty quick comics, if only so my life is, you know, easier. My time less eaten away by things less important than other things I could be doing. xDD

Here's the first installment. It's gonna take a few pages to really get to the good stuff, I guess. I'm really not looking forward to all the giving of the pokemon and blah de blah, so I might try and skip it a little. This page was fun, though!

I'm using myself as the subject, just to make it that much more traumatizing. On an interesting note, this is the first time I've ever chosen the female player. Ever, in any pokemon game I've played. And possibly the only time. xD

Rules I play by:

Catch the first - and only the first - pokemon per area. If the pokemon accidentally faints, you cannot catch anything from that area.

If a pokemon faints, it is considered "dead" and must either be released or permanently boxed in your PC.


In the actual game, I've already lost one pokemon. It was a "critical hit" situation.
Effing critical hits. I've lost out on two pokemon that way, too. I need to get better at regulating myself.

P.S. MAKING COMICS DIGITALLY IS SO MUCH EASIER THAN TRADITIONALLY GUYS.

Awesome job! I absolutely love how you drew Chimchar. <3333

I've done about five Nuzlocke runs since hearing about it, but the only documented one so far is Yellow, which I did in "Let's Play" fashion by recording videos of my suffering and uploading them to Youtube. Yellow is actually unfinished because my recorder's trial version ran out before the run was done. I just need to beat Giovanni for the last badge and end with the Elite 4.

I've never particularly liked Chimchar's design in-game, it was far too...adorable for me, I suppose. I think it was the massive head with the curly hair on top that did it. xDD BUT, I love Monferno and Infernape, so I decided to choose Chimchar this time, aaand, thought I'd give Josh here a more baboon-like look, kind of. ^^

I'd like to see that! Even if it's unfinished, it would be interesting to see! How did you do? Being such an experienced player, did you pretty much hold on to even your oldest pokemon, right from the beginning?

Chimchar was my very first 4th gen Pokemon even though I was on the Piplup bandwagon. Lack of awesome fire types before the E4 heavily influenced my decision to go with my least favorite of the 3. But I still loved him. Never treated him like an unwanted child, lol.

It starts here: [link] and continues with any Yellow Nuzlocke vid under the name Silentiyinsane. My typo'd youtube account. XD I think my voice was kinda annoying after rewatching some of the vids.

I think I did okay. I did manage to hold onto the same ones for a long while, but by the end of the game my team was drastically different than the one I started with. Not all of them died, but three of my favorites(including my Pikachu) were lost to poison. *Remembers Bob(my lucky find at Mt. Moon)* T-T

Just a hint.

Diamond/Pearl/Platinum have huge ammounts of hax. It'll be hard.

Also awesome style.

Actually, having played all gens, last time I played through Diamond, it was easiest out of all of them. I beat the E4 on the second try, which is completely unheard of for me. But I did trade some low-leveled pokes over right in the beginning, so they got huge amounts of EXP and were a good 10 levels above the rest of my team, which might've been an extra asset. >3>;; Thanks for the warning, though. I'll be sure to do extra amounts of training. Already I've been super careful, since losing my first pokemon. (It's kind of hilarious, actually. "FIGHT A POKEMON --> GO HEAL --> FIGHT A TRAINER --> GO HEAL AGAIN". Ffffffft. xDD

Also thank you! It always tickles me when someone likes my style~

StormofThunder In reply to EsperEzekiel [2010-11-23 18:49:33 +0000 UTC]

Oh, well, I remembered that there were time in Platinum and Diamond where I went "WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED" thanks to the opponent attacking first when I should have, really unfair effects and abilities. I swear, I don't think I want to play the game again, even if I did enjoy it. I don't want to go through that again.

And YES constantly heal. I wish the games had some fast forward button, SLOW WALKING AND ACTIIONS.

And you're welcome. c:

Ffft I've had so many of those moments in the past, as well. But, I have a group of very, very mean friends who raise those ridiculously powerful and impossible to beat pokemon through EV training and hours I don't even care to think about figuring out strategies, so, through battling them all the time, I...really take into account every impossibility. But yeah, playing Diamond this way is kind of total panic for me and it will probably go veeeeeeery slowly. ;;

Seriously I can't wait for Fly it will make my life so much easier.

EV Training = Hell.

BUT.

I HATE HMS.

JUST.

A PAIN IN THE ASS. JUST GIVE US FLY AND WE'LL BE FINE KTHNX NINTENDO

HMS ARE UNNECESSARY AND MOSTLY USELESS.

The thing I am LEAST looking forward to is god-forsaken Defog. WHO THE HELL EVEN USES DEFOG EXCEPT TO GET OUT OF THE ANNOYING-ASS FOG IN LIKE .2% OF THE 4TH GEN GAMES.

And then you need like every single one of them to get to the E4 I mean COME ON.
