Exactly what the title says. And yes, I've been resurrected from the dead... or more like now I actually have TIME. Studios done. Exams are Exam is done. I've finally moved all my junk over. So with some spare time before summer classes actually start (voice-over classes YEA-YUH!) what better way to kill time than with the ultimate life-sucker... thats NOT Skyrim... because i don't own that... please don't kill me.

Click for your childhood.
Yes my friends, its Pokemon. Due to the fact that my parents deprived me of a video game childhood I've resorted to catching up now. Due to the repetitive nature of the game, i've decided to spice up the game to take on the ultimate Pokemon challenge:
NUZLOCKING
For those of you unfamiliar with the term, the Nuzlocke challenge consists of 2 fundamental rules:
- You can only catch the first pokemon you encounter in each area (ex. route, cave, tower etc.) If it faints or flees, tough luck.
- When your pokemon faints, it's considered "dead" and you must release it.
There also is a unspoken rule that you have to nickname all of the pokemon you catch to make it personally. I found this really fun Due to the harrowing nature of the game, you end up bonding with your pokemon. Thus Nuzlocking also can be an emotionally damaging experience for your soul everytime one of your pokemon dies... BUT HEY ITS FUN!
So I've decided to start with good old fashion FireRed. There are a lot of Nuzlock comics out there, but due to the fact that I can't draw and don't have the time and energy to upload half-assed pictures onto the interwebs, I'm going to write it instead, get those fan fiction creative writing skills out. So when I get to writing it, I'll keep you all posted :)
Until then, I'm catching up on every fandom and franchise I've miss out on due to studio... like finally watching Reichenbach Falls... please don't kill me.
