What do you mean, programmed to say? Mom, please don't ask. Cute? She thinks I'm cute? Well, that's what she's programmed to say. Nice to meet you, Xavier! Well, Xavier, let's hit the road. So, what's your name? I prefer to go by Xavier. After all, this is a Nuzlocke, so what do you expect? Okay then. Well, I would be happy to choose Diglett, but it's obvious I have to choose the elephant in the room. And a Mismagius? That's pretty cool! Now, let's see what's in the 3rd Pokeball… A Diglett. Elm! Well, hi, Professor Elm! So you're ready to pick out your first Pokemon? Correctamundo! Now, let me see what's in the machine… So, there's a Finneon…Not the biggest fan of Finneon, and it's obscure, so I'll pass. Anyways, I don't wanna be late for getting my Pokemon from Prof.

(Don't worry, I have the game in real life!) Okay, but what if the game resets and you lose your data? Okay…I guess I'd have to save for that. So, let's see what I get! Oh, and also, here are the other functions of the touch screen: your trainer card, the options screen, and the ability to save! Thanks, Mom, but because I'm playing on an emulator, I use save states. I would've picked Cyndaquil, but for some reason, there are completely random Pokemon rampant through Johto. I should explain the rules for those who don't know what a nuzlocke is: >You can only catch the first Pokemon you encounter per route >If a Pokemon faints, it is considered dead and must be placed in a box called “Graveyard” >You have to nickname every Pokemon you catch So, without further ado, let's get right into this nuzlocke! Me: Hmm…Professor Elm said he'd give me a Pokemon today. So, this is my first randomized nuzlocke.
