It has been quite some time since I last posted, but rest assured that I haven't given up in my quest to complete a Nuzlocke. Recently I got a friend of mine to give me a copy of Ruby so I could play a game that I have never played before. I know pretty much nothing about this game going in, which means that I'm more likely to want to see it through than I would a HG run. I have also decided to cut back on the rules a little. So, intro time once more.
Ah, much shorter than my other intro. I probably won't have much of an overarching storyline for this one, but there will be some stuff I will go in depth on later to help incorporate the Nuzlocke rules into the world. I will try to post an update every few days, but don't expect much from me.
1. If a Pokémon faints I must place it in a graveyard box from which they will never be disturbed, so that I might remember my fallen comrades. If my team is wiped out but I have something left in a box that is not my graveyard, then I am allowed to continue.
2. I must capture the first Pokémon I see in an area, if it faints then there is no capture for that area. If I have already caught a member of that evolutionary line then this rule applies to the next non-duplicate Pokémon I see.
3. I must nickname all Pokémon I capture.
4. I may not trade or breed for new Pokémon, this rule includes trading for evolution.
5. TMs may be used but I am not allowed to purchase any, this includes the game corner.
6. I may only buy basic pokeballs.
7. Shiny Pokémon may be caught even if they are not the first Pokémon I have seen, but if they are not the first I saw then I must deposit them into the graveyard box.

My name is Bob and my family just moved to Hoenn because my dad was finally able to get a job as a gym leader. We are from Mistralton City in the Unova region. I thought Dad was going to be appointed the next leader of the Striaton gym, but they went with a trio of brothers instead. Dad specializes in normal types and I guess they don’t want two normal type gyms in the league, so I am going to blame Lenora for that one. Instead we had to fly from our home to a whole other region for him to become a gym leader. I had to ride in the back of the truck once we arrived because apparently there aren’t many airports in this region…joy.
Finally at our new home mom told me dad’s old roommate, Professor Birch, was the next door neighbor and explained that he had a daughter and that I should introduce myself. I shrugged and went to go next door when I could swear I saw mom smirk. She better not try to set me up with this girl. The last time she tried that I ended up going out with some psycho from Nimbasa. I became even more suspicious when Professor Birch wasn’t home and his wife told me to go upstairs to her daughter’s room to introduce myself. Of course by this point I had no choice, all I could do was mutter objections as she pushed me up the stairs. As I was shoved into the room I noticed the girl over by the computer, she was alright I guess. I had definitely seen worse.
I walked over to her and casually introduced myself with a simple, “Hey my name’s Bob…” I was cut off by a piercing scream as the girl jumped. I’ve been told I walk softly and silently so I’m actually used to that kind of reaction, people never seem to be aware of my presence until I say or do something. I crossed my arms and leaned against the wall while waiting for her to compose herself. After she calmed down and looked at me she quickly turned away and began to talk. The girl, May, seemed really excited about having another person her age in this small town. So excited she seemed to stumble over her words a little. She realized she was supposed to help her dad with some stuff and rushed out of the room, leaving me alone. It was a little awkward first being alone with a girl in her room and then being alone without anybody in a girl’s room. I left giving only a slight nod to Mrs. Birch on my way out. I decided to locate Professor Birch since he was who I was supposed to introduce myself to in the first place.
As I wandered around I heard the sounds of a man yelling followed by what appeared to be barking. I ran towards the noise and found a man in a lab coat being chased by a small dog Pokemon. Since I am from Unova I had no idea what the local Pokemon are. When he noticed me the man yelled to get a pokeball from his bag on the ground. I reached in and tossed the ball to reveal its occupant. The small blue creature assumed its battle stance giving a ferocious, if high pitched, “Mudkip.”
