Yesterday, I started a
Nuzlocke Challenge with a ROM of Pokémon Crystal (since my cartridge recently died). Just for fun, I also documented my play to be presented here.
Oh boy here we go. There's gonna be pixels. And little pokemans. And it's gonna be a good time what with all the pokéballs and the berries and the gambling run by the mob.
For the sake of accuracy, I'll pick boy. Usually I'd pick a girl character, but for this particular LP I wanted it to more closely reflect me for... reasons.
Alright! Let's go Pokemans-ing.
I get the feeling we're not going to be friends.
Meeting with Professor Navi. Now I have to go walk around and deliver his mail, because apparently in this world full of computers that can store objects as data and tamable ferrets who can teleport, the central mailing system doesn't exist. Shortly after this he gets an email, data sent over a network cable. Go figure.
So now I get my first Pokémon! Because when you send a ten year old to deliver your package in the middle of the night through tall grass full of 3 foot long poisonous spiders, you should also give him a newborn to keep him safe. So what's a good name for my first companion? I think that'd be fairly obvious.
Can't use numbers. Darn. Always thought Briguy92 reminded me of a sentient cucumber, didn't you? He's a Chikorita now.
Say Hello to my first party member.
Deliver the dumb egg to the dumb egg guy.
Oh. Hey buddy.
Briguy92's first battle! Go him. I have faith.
Butts were kicked. It was a good time. ??? shall never again haunt CherryGrove with his unfashionable haircut.
Anyway, back to the lab! Where there's a Scooby-Doo level of intrigue and mystery.
So this guy. He'll be bothering me constantly without provocation. He'll become a regular irritant striking at regular intervals to be as annoying as he can. Why yes, I did happen to get his name.
(I tease. Weegee is a fine gentleman.)
Alright! Now let's start this Nuzlocke challenge off right.
My first caught companion lies somewhere in these bushes. C'moooooooon, Hoothoot. Give me a Hoothooot. Hoothoot or a Spinarack.
...
Well that wasn't what I wanted at all.
I found a pokémon that was completely the opposite of what I wanted, shows up everywhere, and can't easily be shaken off. I think his name is obvious.
Alright. Second chance. C'moooon, Hoothoot. Or really just something else.
Now this game is just intentionally trying to mess with me. He shall be named accordingly.
New Route, new Buddy. If this is another Rattata, I'm going to bludgeon the entire population of Rhode Island out of spite.
Well that was unexpected. I didn't even know you could find those here. Still, it's not bad. Really could be pretty useful.
Named accordingly.
Alright, now we're getting somewhere.
Or not. I'd hardly call one level 2 Rattata to be a battle, but I'll take my wins where I can get them.
Oh look at that. Briguy92 is becoming useful.
A new route, a new Pokémon. No expectations here. Could be anything.
Yeeees.
Yeeeeeeeeees
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESLook at that. The game decided to be nice to me.
So nice.
And here we are. Right there at the first gym. Now, I time to train up and take it on!
...Next time. For now, I'll just stand and stare at this gym.
