Many have probably heard of the Nuzlocke challenge. It is when you play through a pokémon game following some very specific rules. But where did it really come from?
It all began when a person decided to play through Ruby with a twist. He made up two rules to make the game harder, and called it simply Ruby Hard Mode.
> release the pokémon if it faints.
> have to catch the first pokémon in every area and nothing else.
> have to catch the first pokémon in every area and nothing else.
And the best thing - he drew a comic, chronicling the whole playthrough. This comic was put up on the web and the ball started rolling. The idea of challenging yourself by playing a pokémon game in Hard Mode was thrilling and more people mimicked him and drew their own comics. The phenomena came to be known as Nuzlocke, after a Nuzleaf that the main character of the first comic captured and portrayed with the face of Locke from the TV-series LOST.
I this thread, I thought we could read the original Nuzlocke comic and post our reactions and thoughts about the concept and the story (which is actually really exciting after a while, as the art gets progressively better and the pokémon all talk and the author makes twists to the original game plot). The "official" site is here: http://www.nuzlocke.com/pokemonhardmode.php?p=1
Maybe you have even made your own Nuzlocke comic? Show us!
I present to you, the first page of Ruby Hard Mode and then one of the more recent pages, to show that the art actually does get better ;)
