Nuzlocke

Hey guys! Lately I've been working on something a little different than usual. As  you  can guess from the title of this entry, I have been doing the Nuzlocke challenge. Most people do Nuzlocke a lot different and maybe it's more simple or harder. The basic rules are here bellow in this rule thingy that I had no help in making.

These are just the rules that they have made, though, since this is my first Nuzlocke, I have decided to make a few more to make it a little simpler.
MY NUZLOCKE RULES
1. You may only catch the first Pokemon you see on a route or in a new area (such as a cave)
2. Water and grass count as two different areas
3. If a Pokemon faints you have to release it, it is now dead
4. Trading is NOT allowed because it would make the game to easy
5. In the start of the game, if you do not have Pokeballs, then you can come back to that route (I know in ruby your don't get pokeballs until you go through a couple routes)
6. At the start of the game you may pick up to five types of Pokemon for breeding purposes, but you can't battle with them unless they were egg hatched
7. Friends do not kill your Pokemon (what kind of friend would do that?) but anyone else can

8. The move SELF DESTRUCT IS NOT ALLOWED (your pokemon would just die upon use)

Seems easy enough until you actually try doing it. Many people have fail even before they get to the Elite Four. The hardest is when your trying to train a newly caught Pokemon and it gets hit with a critical or super effective move. Honestly, it sucks. Though many people do Nuzlocke for fun others will also make comics that go along with it. My favorites being:
ky-nim
and
pettyartist
Deaths happen all the time, so don't think that you can completely avoid them. It's nice to try to stop them as much as you can though. The longer you've had the pokemon though, the harder it will be to part with them. (no you may not just put it in a box for later you cheat.)

My rules have made the game a little easier but its still pretty hard (I haven't gotten to the Elite Four yet, so I don't know how much my rules have helped) I'll keep you updated on it (also will put up comics when I am done making some.) til then, PEACE!
