The Nuzlocke has started! It's now officially titled "Nuts Lock", just for the heck of it (see explanation on the rules-page).
The amount of effort paid on this thing is astounding, I almost care about inking it. It's actually pretty relaxing not really caring about making it as perfect as possible. Also Piplup's face markings are fun to emote with.
(To be completely honest, though, I actually lost my first rival fight. Yeah, really. The Turtwig kept spamming Withdraw until I could only beat one pixel worth of health off of it at a time, and when it started to beat me with healthy attack, it still had about half of its HP left. I did get it to red, though, but it wasn't enough, so I restarted the game completely and started over. The next time my little penguin wiped the floor- err, ground with it.)
Already love this. The art style is fresh, the paneling is good and I love the way you portray Barry's spasmodic personality through making him stretch and jump like crazy. Also, Cyrus wondering what to make for dinner.
