             GlyphGryph Nuzlocke's LeafGreen


My last Nuzlocke was an amazing, heartwarming, touching story... that I kept entirely to myself. It's time to do one of these publicly, and I'm gonna do it here. Join me, on my pokemon adventure!

The Basic Rules:
- Any pokemon that faints is moved to the Graveyard Box. They are dead - forever!
- For each labeled route, we get to catch one, and only one, pokemon.
- All Pokemon must receive a nickname. I will be generating their in-game nicknames randomly, but I expect you guys to give them better ones.
- If at any point we white out, it's GAME OVER - our pokemon journey is complete... or is it? You, the audience, can then vote on whether we persevere, or I start a new, different game.

But before we begin, I have some important questions to ask you...



Next, which of these little monsters are we going to call our own?


And are there any optional rules you want me to follow to increase the difficulty and potentially make things more interesting?

Possibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Nuzlocke Classic: We either catch the first pokemon we encounter for each opportunity... or nothing! (This is a standard Nuzlocke rule, but we might decide to do some of the others instead)
- Nuzlocke Extreme: Instead of being allowed to catch one pokemon per route, we're allowed to catch one pokemon per badge we've acquired.
- Til'Death: No deposits. I'm not allowed to deposit pokemon.
- Luddite: No boxing. I'm not allowed to use the boxes at all.
- A Rest Well-Earned: The Pokemon who lands the final blow against a gym-leader's team is retired - they cannot be used again until the Elite Four. If no other pokemon are available, they may be used until another pokemon is caught.
- One of a Kind: I'm only allowed to ever own one of a given species of pokemon. If there's an encounter limiting rule in effect, such as classic Nuzlocke, encountering additional members of this species does not count as an encounter.
- Make it Count: We're allowed to use the pokecenter once per town.
- What Does This Look Like, A Hospital: We're not allowed to use PokeCenters to restore health - our entire team must be fully healed before entering, or we can't go in at all. They can only be used to "rest" and restore PP.
- What Are You, A Communist?: We're not allowed to make use of Pokecenter healing at all.
- Tough It Out: Disable the option to switch when opposing pokemon faint
- Fair Play: No items can be used during battle
- Anti-Consumerist: Cannot purchase any items at all.
- A Fair Fight: You are only allowed to use the same amount of Pokémon that the Gym Leader owns when facing a Gym.

If you have any other suggestions, just let me know and I'll add them to the list! Vote for as many or as few as you want - every additional rule with over 50% support will be used, unless if conflicts with another rule, in which case the one with more support will be used!

Feel free to edit your votes at any time, I won't be counting them until we're ready to go.

Let's get this adventure started, eh?

Bulbasaur. Vegetarian Amphibian is a-go.

[Criptfeind]

Squirtle is the only real choice.

Also I vote for Nuzlocke Classic. One of the hospital restricting rules might be worthwhile, but they always seem too harsh to me.

[Darvi]

Oh yeah, I mentioned it on IRC but will repeat it here. Rest Well Earned Extreme: One mon per badge plus retirement after every badge.

Have fun~

I'm going to say Nuzlocke Classic with the Set Battle Mode, but add my own twist to it.

A Fair Fight: You are only allowed to use the same amount of Pokémon that the Gym Leader owns when facing a Gym.

So... If you are up against say... Brock, only two Pokémon are allowed. Once you go in with those two Pokémon, they must be the two to finish the gym.


For the purpose of this run though, I am going to say Squirtle. I am feeling turtle today, and I don't want the first gym to doom you too horribly.

[EuchreJack]

If you're playing the GreenLeaf version, shouldn't you pick Bulbasaur?

Course, I guess one could argue for Squirtle to water all those plants.

Eh, one of those.   

A Rest Well Earned sounds fun!

[MarcAFK]

Please don't die Gryfglryf nuzloxk!

You are a Boy Squirtle enthusiast who enjoys Classic rock and loves a Fair Fight.

[GlyphGryph]

And with that, we'll close voting because I want to get started!

We are: A Boy
We will choose: A Squirtle

Additional Rules:
Classic - We can only catch the first pokemon we encounter on a route.
Rest Well Earned - The pokemon who lands a final blow against a gym leader must be "retired" until it is time to fight the Elite Four.
A Fair Fight - We are only allowed to use as many pokemon in gym fights as are possessed by the Gym Leader.

This is the settings we'll be going with for this run.

Let us begin!

Introduction
My name if EAEF,XU. I am tired of living in this town. Every day is the same. I play with my NES. I go on the computer. I wander around town, telling anyone who will talk to me the same thing over and over again.

I'm done with all that.

Today, I am going to leave.



I pack up my favorite books, grab a cup of potion from the computers slide out cup-holder, and pack it all into my bag.

I tell my mother my plans. Despite the fact that I'm only a kid, she seems to have this coming, and is oddly okay with it. Apparently the television told her it would be alright.

I suspect my mother might actually be crazy.



My first attempt to escape from this crap town ends rather abruptly, with the crazy old pokemon man from down the street grabbing me and dragging me back to his "lab". His stupid, annoying grandson BAIB is already there. Apparently my mother mentioned the fact that I was leaving to him, and his grandson was thinking the same thing, so he wants to dump some of his old pokemon on us. But more than that, he thinks we are both in a unique position to become LEAGUE TRAINERS. Why, we might even be able to have a gym of our some day! He was never able to get licensed, himself, but we're perfect for giving it a try.

I was looking for was an adventure, right? Well, what other adventure offered more than the journey to becoming League Champion? I would get to explore the entire known world, and so long as I followed a couple basic rules, would basically get to do whatever I wanted and potentially gain national acclaim. There was definitely an appeal there - and it was clear the old man was hoping to live vicariously through our attempt.

We both agreed. After all, the worst that could happen was that we screw up and lose certification, but still get a free pokemon, right? Why not.

The rules were simple.
A prospective league trainer must never have previously owned a Pokemon.
A prospective league trainer must obtain an official license before beginning their journey.
A league trainer may never carry more than six pokemon at a time.
A league trainer must abide by all gym rules when visiting a league gym.
A league trainer may either take an apprenticeship at a league gym or become a visiting trainer.
A visiting trainer must demonstrate regular progress in the acquisition of gym badges and league accolades.
A visiting trainer must retire the victorious pokemon of any gym challenge, until and unless they manage to reach the Elite Four, at which point said pokemon may once more return to battle.
A league trainer must accept ALL challenges, immediately upon issue.
Only the first pokemon encountered in any given league zone may be captured. If the attempt fails, no pokemon from that zone can ever be captured again.
A league trainer will have their status immediately revoked should they ever find themselves without pokemon.

I indicate I understand, the old man officially admits me into the League - apparently he's officially recognized to do so even though he can't do so himself. Obviously, I choose to become a traveling trainer - there's no gym in town, and I wouldn't want to be stuck in some other backwater for years any more than I'd want to remain here.

Now, as for the pokemon gift...

I look at the options available. Some four-legged critter with leaves on it's back... a lizard with a flaming tail, exactly the sort of housepet my mom would never have approved of... and a shelled creature with a curly tail. I'm not sure how useful a plant would be in a fight, and I'm not sure I want to lug around something that is actively on fire, so I go with the third one, which is apparently called a Squirtle. The professor encourages me to give him a nickname, and I name him... NOVLAIK.

BAIB chooses the Bulbasaur, and his first action as an official League Trainer is, of course..

Heya, dork! My pokemon looks a lot tougher than yours! Let's have a fight right now!
...what?
Oh, for Pete's sake.* Still, the rules are the rules, Xu! He's challenged you, and you have to accept. Your pokemon knows how to tail whip and tackle, and will do what you say - I'm sure you'll figure it out!
Don't worry TOO much, eauf'de'suck, your pokemon might live! Stankasaurus, go!
Bulba!
Novlaike, go!
SQUIRTLE!

X_X
WHAT? Unbelievable! I picked the wrong Pokemon!* Bulbasaur, get back up and try again!
I'm pretty sure he's out for the count, idiot.
Hmm, BAIB... it looks like your bulbasaur will live, but be more careful, BAIB! These are rare pokemon, and if they hadn't been raised together the Squirtle could have killed him! As a league trainer, you have to learn to value your pokemon - you will only ever be able to catch so many, and once they're gone, they are gone for good!
Whatever, gramps!
I'll make my pokemon battle a lot to toughen it up!*
SMELL YA LATER!*
I hope he manages to keep out of trouble. Anyway, Eaef, good luck on your adventure!

It begins...

[GlyphGryph]

So, since I'm sure we're all familiar with the sort of things that happen next - does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do or try to prioritize in the future?
