[Pokémon] The Pokemon Story Project

Hello fellow trainers. My name is TinyLlamas and I hope to run a project with your assistance.

I propose to start a project that involves players playing a Nuzlock-styled run of Pokemon Gold.

During this run, players will be given a half hour to progress through the game.

They can do anything in the allotted time as long as it follows guidelines given and does not break the game (i.e. they didn't release all the pokemon).

During this time they would maintain a journal that would document the journey that is taking place in a narrative format.

Feel free to include screenshots or fan art

Once their play time is up, their save file and journal will then be passed on to the next player in line who will continue the playthrough.

We hope that this would result in a similar experience that we had, where a collaborative narrative will be created out of this project.
In the past we have attempted to do a Nuzlock pokemon save swap where we as a group made our way through the game. We would play for a set amount a time before passing along our save files to the next one in line.During this time, we had agreed to maintain a journal to document the amount of progress we had made. While at first it began as a simple documentation of what we did, we soon started to write story elements into the journal, and eventually ended up with a narrative outside of the existing story in the game. You can say we made our own head canon for the journey we took. With that said, it was an interesting and fun experience. And we wish to recreate it on a larger scale.

I will be providing the necessary requirements to get this project running as well as passing the saves to the next player in line. If you are interested please send a message me or you are able to email us at ~snip~

Hey, this sounds like an interesting project, but not the one for FF&W. This is definitely the place where the final product would go, but not the entire process.

Right now, this sounds like more of a save-swap challenge than a story idea. So, I would suggest you take this idea over to the Challenges forum, since the people over there are actively looking to play various pokemon games in different styles. I think you would have more success over there in finding willing participants. But before you make a thread over there, remember to read the rules, so your thread can be approved.

The biggest thing I'm having issues with, though, is that this is your first post, and you want people to email you. That sends up all sorts of red flags for me, and I don't want people emailing you because of it. If you're serious about this, and have only good intentions, then I would suggest posting around on the forums a bit, and trying this again. Just show people that you're human, and they might be willing to give this a shot. Because of my above reasons, I'll be removing the link to your email in your post.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to shoot me a message and ask away.
