Pokemon LeafGreen Nuzlocke Challenge: The Prologue

Before I begin this play through of this game, I will give an explanation. As the Pokemon franchise grows,  the Pokemon fan groups have created self imposed challenges for themselves as a way to enjoy the game more. The Nuzlocke Challenge is one of those challenges. To play there are two rules:
  1. You can only catch the first pokemon you find in a route, no exceptions. 
  2. If that pokemon faints in a fight, that pokemon is considered "dead" and will be either be released or put in the Pokemon Storage Box permanently. 
Over time the Nuzlocke Challenge allowed for good practice in art and storytelling for the people who document their gameplay. A good example being the original comic that started the challenge in the first place.
To the left is the first comic. To the right is the most recent chapter.
So I decided to try my hand at this. I will be playing though the game "Pokemon LeafGreen" under a nuzlocke, and will, hopefully, beat it. Wish me luck!
