The team so far

Team!

Since I started the game on Saturday, we've had the following riveting adventures:

1. Picked up Soggy bottom, the Mudkip, as my starter.

2. Caught Queen, the fire fang-wielding Poochyena.

3. Moon unit, the teeter-dancing Lotad, joined the team.

4. Made it through 1 gym battle. Roxanne didn't stand a chance against Soggy bottom and Moon unit.

5. Queen, the fire fang-wielding Poochyena, died to a tragic critical hit at level 7. We had high hopes for you.

6. Caught FotConchords, the steel-winging Taillow.

7. Prince, the Slakoth, joins the team. Maybe one day he will become a slack king.

8. Caught Spamalot, the Whismur.

9. Prince dies in a truancy accident. His dreams of becoming a king will never be attained.

10. Prince is the only one who can learn cut! AAAAAAHHHHHH

11. Gym badge 2 acquired. Brawly got wrecked by FotConchords.

12. Evolved FotConchords, Soggy bottom, and Moon unit

The challenge begins

For people who want a little more challenge from their game designed for twelve-year-olds, we have: Nuzlocke

In this challenge, I will be going through Alpha Sapphire playing by the following rules:

• Pokemon that faint are considered dead.

• Only the first Pokemon encountered on each route may be caught. Exception: shinies

• Pokemon must be nicknamed (themed to rock bands or rock band-adjacent things).

• No using pokecenters or other "healing" characters. Exception: automatic checkpoint heals required for story advancement.

• Legendary Pokemon cannot be used.

• Battle style is "set".

• Black-out / white-out ends the run.

The long version

Stay tuned for the progression of the run!
