Also, a note about Nuzlocke runs: Because Pokémon die when they faint in Nuzlocke runs, it is strongly encouraged for Nuzlocke runners to nickname each of the Pokémon they capture. This is to promote Pokémon-Trainer bonds and make you more attached to your allies; unique names will give more personality and character to your party members and makes it all the sadder if/when they fall in battle. To this end, I will be allowing the readers to partake in nicknaming any Pokémon I catch in the course of the run, to facilitate interaction between the player and the readers. The nickname with the most votes over the span of a period of six hours will be chosen; if there's a tie, I will choose the name I like better. You are not permitted to use hateful terms or slurs in proposed nicknames, else I will simply ignore that nickname and any further nicknames you come up with. You may also not use the nickname "Patchzerg" unless the Pokémon being nicknamed is Farfetch'd, because holy shit he is so good in Volt White. The starter Pokémon's nickname will be chosen by me, unfortunately for you. I have a special name in mind... EDIT: To clarify what I meant by disallowing hateful terms or slurs in nicknames: I'm not a prude by any means, but I also want this game to be fun and light-hearted. Names like "Faggot" or other genuinely offensive words will not be tolerated. However, I am all for it if the name is crude but benign and funny, like "Poopfeast420". Be creative, be silly, be crass, but don't go overboard with the potty mouthing. | ||

Just to give yourself a fighting chance? :D I'll stay tuned to this, and also mad <3s to you, this post made me set up my own Volt White run! I'll keep checking this thread out though, will be interesting to see how far you make it. In a word, yes. Volt White is way harder than Pokémon White, so if I don't have an extra Pokémon for every zone, I'll simply not have enough options or firepower to make it through. It's not a huge handicap either, because Gym Leaders and Rival battles in particular can and will decimate my team very easily without proper planning and skill. Because of that, I need a way to repopulate my team, and only one Pokémon per area simply doesn't do it quickly enough. Thanks for the e-props. I hope to not die immediately so said props are not wasted. :o | ||

This shouldn't come into play too often, since each area has a very diverse set of Pokémon to catch, but it's there for the sake of promoting a varied and interesting team of Pokémon. No one wants to see four Rattatas and two Meowths getting smoked by a single Gastly because those are the only things I found. | ||

For instance, if I enter Route 2 for the first time and find a Rattata on my first encounter, but I already have a Rattata from Route 1, I must defeat or run away from the new Rattata instead of capturing it, and I will still have two more chances to catch Pokémon on Route 2. If, however, I find a Pokémon like Oddish (with two separate final evolutions), I must catch the second Oddish and evolve both of them into different final evolutions. This shouldn't come into play too often, since each area has a very diverse set of Pokémon to catch, but it's there for the sake of promoting a varied and interesting team of Pokémon.

The point of following a nuzlocke run is to see someone die in a way that they are powerless to do something about. | ||

That's certainly true, but I am of the opinion that many readers would find it boring to read about a run where the player only has like three Caterpies because of RNG. I don't think that's particularly fun to read about, and it's not really fun for the player either. Your thoughts are valid, though. I'd like some other people to chime in on how they feel about that rule. If the majority say that the rule should not be used, I'll remove it. | ||

I'd rather you keep the rule. It's more fun seeing a diverse party, and also more fun seeing your only Steel type get critted right before the Dragon gym. | ||

I like Snivy the best, but Oshawott is just so hilarious in the anime. It was the only reason why I watched. Well I voted Snivy anyway since it's so cool | ||
