Nuzlocke run in Pokemon Silver. For those who don't know, the nuzlocke run is a self imposed set of rules you follow in a Pokemon playthrough. It was made to provide a greater challenge or something. But I think it was thought up to break hearts. Because that's what it did for me. The basic rules are:
- You can only catch the first Pokemon you encounter in each area. If you miss it, oh well. You have to move on without a new Pokemon.
- Any Pokemon that faints is considered dead. And you're not allowed to carry dead Pokemon with you (diseases, you know?) so you have to release it.
- If you black out (or white out), Game Over.
First off, training was a *****. I learned real fast that training was more dangerous than just battling trainers. Then there came a point where I was scraping by with one Pokemon. And then Totodile fainted.
In other words he died. I almost couldn't go on, though I had a ratatta left in my roster, I lost my best pal. Eventually I blacked out and restarted the game to play the good ol' normal way.
