Nuzlocke Challenge 1.2 - Insects & Sacrifice



When we last left off, I had just beat Gary, and was ready to tackle the Viridian Forest. My goal this time is to pick up a Pikachu, but first I have to pass through Route 2. This post is actually a combination of some small play sessions, since they weren't long enough for individual posts by themselves.

Navigation & Readability Update

Today I did a some things to improve navigation and readability. First, I added page jumps, since my posts have started to get longer. Second, I added links at the top of my nuzlocke posts to make it easier to page through just the those posts. Third, I increased the number of posts per page to three, since it seemed my original intent, which was to have a single-post-per-page low-scrolling design, feels like it hurts navigation.

Eventually, I may add a page at the top that will works as an archive for all the nuzlocke posts.

Nuzlocke Challenge 1.1 - Team Bonding and Training

« Previous Nuzlocke Next Nuzlocke »

I decided to play this session on my Super Game Boy, which has the added benefit of color :). When we last left off, I was training my new pokémon, Pidgey (Lvl.5) and Rattata (Lvl.4), on Route 1. So, my first point of business is to go to the local Poké Center to heal my team.

Nuzlocke Challenge 1.0 - Beginnings


I am starting my first nuzlocke challenge in Pokémon Red. I am using a slightly modified set of rules.


RULES:
  1. If your pokémon faints, you have to release it.
  2. You can only catch the first pokémon you meet in an area.
    • If the pokémon is one you have previously caught or is along the same evolutionary path as one you have caught in the past, then you may skip that pokémon. You may repeat this until you receive a unique pokémon.
  3. All pokémon must be given nicknames.
