Hey all. So coincidentally with the advent of the new Pokemon games, Pokemon X and Y, being announced I have started doing a nuzlocke run! A slow nuzlocke run because I'm busy and doing this comic, but a run none the less! This is just page one, but I hope to at least complete my pokemon yellow nuzlocke with few casualties! expect humor, drama, and pants! mostly because my therapist says I need pants >=
Here are this nuzlockes rules!
1. Any Pokemon defeated in battle MUST be released or Perma-Boxed UNLESS:
A. My starter pokemon is defeated during the battle against my rival in the beginning of the game.
2. I may ONLY catch the first Pokemon that I encounter in each area. If I fail to catch the Pokemon, that area is out of bounds UNLESS:
A. I have not yet received my pokeballs in the story line.
B. I encounter a Shiny Pokemon.
3. All pokemon MUST receive a nickname of some form
4. If there are no pokemon in my PC boxes, and I black/White out, this nuzlocke is over and I fail.
5. I may NOT use any healing items. Pokemon Centers are the only places I may heal pokemon.
6. No Legendary Pokemon.
7. If I require an HM or other field move to continue on my pokemon journey, and none of my pokemon are able to learn such a move, I may capture a pokemon to learn that move. I may only use this pokemon while I have no legally (by nuzlocke standards) collected pokemon to use it. once I do, it may be perma-boxed.
and finally
8. I must battle all wild encounters. I may use a move such as roar to send an enemy away, but I may not run from wild encounters. (Why would I anyway, I need to grind!)
I chose some of the Mercy rules just to keep the game going and not shooting myself in the foot before I start. Also I have never encountered a shiny pokemon, so I don't want to go "OH YEAH! SUPER SHINY MEWTWO! Aww crap! nuzlocke... can't catch..." and crying myself to sleep.
I thought about building a slight backlog and posting maybe three pages up at first then doing one by one, but I figure I will never EVER get anything done if I do that, so I'm posting this up here to SHOW people that I WILL be doing it!!!!!! This comic is mostly to get me in the mood for doing things more often than I have been, mostly because I tend to come up with great ideas that sit awkwardly in corners while I laze around and play games. And I'm rapidly running out of corners. So enjoy!!
Also this is heavily inspired by Kitfox Crimson, da bastard! Go enjoy his nuzlockes at his page!!

Well, least for Pokemon Yellow I don't think the shiny rule will be in effect... I think they started those in Gen 2. Probably Crystal specifically, but I don't recall offhand -that- specific info with any confidence.. XD Cool to see someone doing a nuzlocke run, though! And I do like that you balanced some of your mercy rules with the "Pokecenter only" rule. I'll be interested seeing how this goes, and good luck! Both on keeping up with the comic, and playing the game. The latter I had an easy time with during my previous nuzlocke plans.. the former is what stopped it from ever seeing the light of day.. XD Perhaps sometime soonish though...
Thanks Damien! I don't know if Yellow has Shiny's either now that I think about it, but if it does then great, if not then boo. I'll admit, I don't know how well I'll be able to do without healing items, but I tend not to use them much anyway so I don't figure it would be too much harder. then again I also usually revive my pokemon, so we'll see XD.
there's also more than one way to show such activity in nuzlocke games. I've seen a couple people post stories or screenshots instead of actual comics. You could try looking at some of those. I don't know any off hand, but it doesn't hurt to try =3

I know for a fact Yellow doesn't have them, at least. X3 Cause they had to be programmed in with the color and whatnot, and pre-gameboy color obviously wouldn't have that. X3 And a quick check indicates that yeah, it's Gen 2 in general that they started in, rather than specifically starting with Crystal.
We definitely have a different play style, then.. I usually tried to keep pokemon from fainting as much as possible, and often used items. X3 But hey, just means something different between the various runs. :D
As for actually doing the nuzlockes... Yeah, I know other people do that.. I've considered it as well. Well, the stories, at least. But I've never really properly sat down and wrote anything in that regard... XD I think I was also just too disorganized for the scope and planning I wanted to go for. Like, my plan overall? Sure, nuzlocke one game...But I want to nuzlocke every generation, or at least a representation of them (I.e. Remakes in place of Gen 1 and 2).. I also wanted to anthro-ize the pokemon to the best of my ability, which for some was just utterly daunting... I mean, how do you anthro a voltorb? I've seen some means of doing so, but I've disliked all I've seen. XD And finally I wanted to make it vorish. Because..well, vore. X3 Which frankly, the more I think about it...I'm sure I could do all of those! I just need to properly plan and pace myself, instead of going at it full-tilt game-wise like I did. All it would really take is making sure to script the comics. And I've even solved a dilemma I had with the previous plans as I've been here typing this. So..thanks! x3
And once again, good luck with yours. :D Try to not make your pikachu mad at you. Because he'll be all grumpface.
