Description
Sorry for not drawing what I said I'd be drawing.... I'm trying to get back in the rhythm of things! And I didn't have a good banner for Clare's story on the nuzlocke forums, so here! I'm going to make a combined one so that you can click on either Clare's story or Jexima's Sapphire nuzlocke. Rant rant rant rant.Related content

shes pretty cute. yellow was one of the few pokemons ive never played, but to my understanding, pikachu cant leave the team, right? how would you right the story if she dies in your nuzlocke?

One of the rules is that if Clare dies, the run ends.

boy, talk about pressure... i caught up with your story and i always find your art so inspirational that im starting to want to try a nuzlocke too. but i have no idea how its done. how do you usually write yours? do you take down notes every time something happens in the game or something?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You should definitely try one! Uhm... If you're planning on making a comic, I'd suggest finishing the gameplay first, just so there aren't ny surprises. That's why I'm replaying mine all the way to the end.
Then you should keep tabs on every important detail. Since I'm playing my yellow version on an emulator, it's easy to open up microsoft word or something and just jot down everything that happens. Mainly, gym battles, event battles, battles including a death, epic battles, etc. Also include all of the important npc interactions so that you can have an idea of the timeline for when you start shaping out your story.
Story!!! Start working ideas for a plot while you're playing. Everything that happens helps you shape out the overall design of your masterpiece! Somehow, this should tie into the original game plot(only if you want).
In the end, yes, I write almost everything down. GOOD LUCK!!!

beat the game 1st huh? and here i thought it was kind of a side by side thing, but i guess this does make it easier to tie in and write bonds in a more narrative path. and after all, im not playing any games at the moment (just impatiently waiting for "the last of us"). alright! im gonna start tonight!
can you give me a brief set of rules how nuzlocke is played again? i know when a pokemon looses, i have to release them. and i can only catch the 1st pokemon i see in each route or area. but how does that work for areas like a cave with different floors? or surfing or fishing? are those separate? and what about the 1st couple routes? in most pokemon games, you dont get your 1st pokeballs until a little bit in. am i allowed to go back to the start and try?

The only two rules that constitute a game run as a nuzlocke are:
1. If a pokemon faints, it's dead
2. Only one pokemon may be caught per route
For me personally, I define the first rule as if a pokemon faints, it is sent to a 'graveyard' box in the PC. The second rule I define as one pokemon per route, including caves, towns, seas, etc. Sometimes you may need to consult a walkthrough map to define a new area(especially red, yellow, and blue version, which are very vague with their routes).
Add more rules if you want a challenge! As long as they do not alter the original two rules, they are acceptable. The ruleset I am using for my yellow run is this:
1. If a pokemon faints, it's dead.
2. Only one pokemon can be caught per route.
3. Nickname EVERYTHING.
4. Potions are only allowed during event battles(Gary, gyms, elite 4)
5. No duplicates. A dupe may be avoided only ONCE, after that, you're out of luck.
6. Legendaries may be caught, but can not be used in battle.
7. If Clare dies, the run is over.
Have fun, Coldfire!!!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, sorry! Hopefully you'll find out soon! Originally, I had pikachu, lapras, nidoqueen, blastoise, venusaur, and flareon for the elite 4. That's already almost spoiling it! I'll tell you no more!!!

i feel like im writing down too many notes that i will probably not use. what kind of information do you usually save?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ALL OF IT.
You'll find space in your story.
But uh... if it helps, make two files, one for details and one for the basic: "Snivy uses cut on Cheren's 'mon, faints" etc or something like that!

uh, ok
ermmm >.< im completely lost. do you have any advice for someone like me?

I think you can do whatever you'd like! You're probably refering to , whose nuzlocke is THE BOMB! I think you could do a mixture of comedy, sci-fi, drama, and whatever genre you'd like! Since you've just started, maybe wait to see what kind of events start to shape your nuzlocke out. A nuzlocke with a lot of deaths would be hard to execute as comedy. Some people switch from gijinka to regular pokemon etc. A lot of people just illustrate their run, straight from the game to comic, while others try and develop the plot a bit more. I haven't really seen many runs take on the sci-fi aspect, and that would be really cool! But really, It is up to you!

yup, thats him. he's pretty awesome. hm, sci-fi is my favorite genre and is what im most comfortable with working with. but almost all nuzlocke pokemon talk. i dont think i can come up with a natural way to make that work well plow-wise. i guess if i do end up sci-fi, i might have to scrap that story element, but having just me as the main character talking would leave out a lot of dialog. -~-

There are other ways for pokemon to communicate! Maybe they just grunt... or something, and your character can like, put a cool gadget devicey thing on them that allows you to understand them? Or maybe you all have some telepathic connection, or maybe.... Idk! What do you think?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
mmm-no. thats soft sci-fi. i usually go for very hard sci-fi.

but, i think youre right. maybe i should wait it out and see how my nuzlocke goes. if i dont have many deaths, i can use more of a light hearted twist and maybe just have my pokemon just talk to each other. if i end up with a darker theme, i might make them more animal-like rather than cartoon characters
