I randomly ran into this:
http://itsahardlife.smackjeeves.com/comics/1214481/chapter-1-page-1-cover/
It's a comic about a nuzlocke challenge Pokemon run (if your Poke faints you must release it, you can only catch the first one in each area, etc) that quickly turns into an extremely dark and depressing story with it's "realistic" take on the Pokemon world.
I found it extremely interesting, with each pokemon (they can talk) having unique personalities and good character development. I must warn that it gets rather gory at times, as pokemon die a lot and many times in rather bloody ways.

Wow so good xD Thanks for sharing. End of chapter 1 pretty good!!
|
yay, read the first chapter instead of studying, thanks 
|
I read all of this in one sitting. This is amazing.
|
I love Nuzlocke comics, thanks for sharing.
|
Had to read all of it, looking forward to the next chapter, thanks for the tip.
|
man that was pretty funny. thx
|
I love these stories that people make through playing games. Here's another one of my favorites, Alice and Kev, an experiment that follows two "homeless" Sims through their lives: http://aliceandkev.wordpress.com/
|
this was pretty interesting. Thanks for bringing it to my attention 
|
This was very interesting.
|
read the first chapter so far, hope it doesn't end soon. Thanks for sharing!
|
Holy shit, this is dark as hell. Pokemon...... is crazy.
I kept reading. Jeesus christ is this every good. The story is pretty deep and very dark. And it's pokemon. I can't stop reading.
|
This is actually fantastic...wow. Like everyone's been saying, soooo dark, but it's still so good.
|
At Chapter 8. Dang this is good. Gary you evil fiend...
|
Wow, haha, I looked it up and apparently it's a whole genre of comic, Nuzlocke comics. For those who read through the entire thing linked by the OP, here's another one that looks interesting http://pettynuzlockelg.smackjeeves.com/ ...This is really gonna cost me a lot of sleep, haha.

Cool stuff. I like the art style a lot. Got through all the chapters, now I'm bummed I have to wait for the rest to come out, haha. It was fun to watch the pokemon develop and evolve. Can't wait to see warturtle evolve into Blastoise. Didn't really seem as dark as everyone was saying, but I guess it can only be so dark when the protagonist is like a 12 year old girl lol. Still, kind of a neat twist on the pokemon idea.

Nuzlocke is just a style to play the Pokemon games iirc, with the rules being something like you can only catch 1 Pokemon per road, you have to nickname every Pokemon you catch and whenver you lose a Pokemon you HAVE to release it. There are also some optional rules like you mustn't enter the same Pokemon Center more than once and stuff like that.

Damn it was so good I reached the last chapter alrdy T__T. Yeah it was really dark, and in the end I dont think we'll have a happy ending.
|
lol, all the troubles ashe faces because of scumbag gary. Who also happened to kill bulbasaur!
|
Thanks to Reddit. I breezed through this entire webcomic created by Qlock in about 2 hours. Absolutely AMAZING..was going to make a General thread.
If you all liked it, post a supporting comment in the latest chapter. I"m sure it'll motivate Qlock.

No, I know that Nuzlocke is a custom set of rules for playing Pokemon, I'm pointing out that there's been a whole genre of webcomics that have been created to revolve around the storytelling of said Nuzlocke playthroughs. Check out r/nuzlocke

Now I want to try using these rules to play Pokemon...
|
I love this, finished the first two chapters by now, it's really great.
+ Show Spoiler +Even though squirtle could have really done more to save rattata, or at least beedrill could have stepped in earlier, such dicks..

Aerisky linked this too me, I couldn't stop reading them. I read all 8 (at the time) chapters in one sitting.
|
Chapter 9 is emerging now, detail in the art even better.
|
this is so good, the art style reminds me a little of scott pilgrim.
