So I finally decided to do a Pokemon Nuzlocke. Which is intimidating to say the least, but I'm doing it anyway.
I'm doing my rules a little differently than the standard. The one core rule I'm not going to do is the "catch only the first Pokemon in each new area you see".
Core rules:
- If a Pokemon faints, it is dead and I must store it in the box forever and ever. I'm not releasing them, just storing them.
- I must nickname all my Pokemon.
- If I black/white out then I have failed, even if I still have Pokemon in the PC that aren't dead.
- I can use Pokemon I get free from NPCs (such as Panpour) but I can't trade.
- No resetting if things go bad. That's cheatering.
My rules:
- I can only catch Pokemon whose typing I do not have in my party already.
- I must catch the first Pokemon of a typing I lack that I see.
- I can, however, catch a dual-type Pokemon if one half of its typing is not one I currently have with me, regardless of if it's primary or secondary
- Inversely, if I have a dual-type Pokemon (such as Woobat) and I see a single-type Pokemon, I can only catch it IF and only IF, it is of the secondary typing (meaning I can't catch any Psychic Pokemon if I have Woobat with me, but I can catch Flying types).
- I also am not allowed to double-up on typing in my party at once, meaning I can't have both Woobat and Munna.
- I must use my dual-types as soon as I get them if I have a single-type Pokemon in my party.
- I must use dual-types in my party until I run out of them.
- If I have six dual-types and two of them share some typing, I can only have a party of five.
- I cannot go back to an route to catch Pokemon after I put one in the box to free up a typing slot (ie, I can't decide I want Pidove when I get to Route 3 and then go back and put away my Lillipup or my Woobat to free up the normal and flying slots. I have to catch Blitzle).
- Once I enter a new area, I have to base my new Pokemon on my current team, even if that means I can't catch anything new.
- I can still catch Shiny Pokemon, regardless of typing.
- If I white out, I have to start over at the last gym I beat (this is a semi-official optional rule I think)
Might add more to this list later. Essentially, I have to use dual-types if I have them and I can't double up on typing. I'm allowed to have single-types in my party, but only if I'm really lacking in dual-types (once I have six dual-types, I have to use those six. If one dies, then I can use a single-type). Under the third and fourth rules, I can still catch some Pokemon (like I was able to catch Woobat despite having Munna) but I can't use them together.
I wish I'd recorded this, but I'm still fine-tuning the rules as I train up a bit because heh, I don't want anyone to die. Maybe when I finish with this Nuzlocke, I'll do that. Though I doubt anyone cares...
As of now, my party consists of 5 single-type Pokemon and 1 dual-type. I've caught 7 Pokemon so far:
Snivy {Mikumo} (Grass)
Lillipup {Mia} (Normal)
Purrloin {Kay} (Dark)
Panpour {Souta} (Water)
Munna {Cammy} (Psychic) - ** Currently at the Day Care **
Woobat {Rhoda} (Psychic/Flying)
Blitzle {Damon} (Electric)
There is a trend with my naming scheme, too. And yes, my Snivy is female. All my Pokemon except Panpour and Blitzle are. I'm also playing as a dude this time, named Haedes. My spelling, because I kept hitting the E before the D so I just kept it after the third time or so failing to move the cursor over.

Netflix
So, uh, I learned months ago that there was to be a Netflix series based on this little series of books from my childhood, A Series of Unfortunate Events, which I followed about as much as I did Harry Potter (but without the obsessive re-reads), and on YouTube I got a commercial about it. And it apparently starts on the 13th (because honestly, I would expect nothing less BUT for the series to come out on Friday the 13th). It looks rather faithful to the series, apart from a few details (like Mr Poe is not short, rotund, and spectacles, but played by a tall, slender fellow, but his appearance hardly matters, it's just meant to show him a fuddy
So I Nuzlocked Sun...
I died to the second battle with Hau, by virtue of my entire team (of two) being weak to Electric-type moves and Hau having a Pichu. So I nearly wiped on a Pichu. I took it out, then my Pikipek was killed by Litten in one hit.
I think Electric is gonna be my arch foe for a long time yet. *sigh*
So I'm gonna start it over. These are the rules I'm doing, I think:
1. The three standards are in order (first thing per route, fainted=/dead, nicknames)
2. Dupes and Shiny clauses are in effect
3. I cannot catch Pokemon I see on the field, such as the Wimpod on Route 8. This extends to things that are in shaking grass/trees/bushes, dirt clouds, b
Preorder Bonuses
... are always absolute shite, so please don't bother in future, okay? If all you're gonna give out is 200 Pokeballs, don't bother...
Also, Pokemon- why did you remove the ability to sit and, to add insult to injury, YOU GOT RID OF THE ABILITY TO CHECK TRASH CANS. You monsters!
So Pokemon GO
(silently waves a Team Instinct flag) yay team yellow! woo! spark is great! whooo!!
Seriously though, Spark reminds me strongly of Owain from Fire Emblem. Down to the fact that nobody takes him seriously except a few people.
