Nuzlocke Challenge - Ravyn Edition

14 Jan 2012

hobbitinthetardis started following you

Why hello there! owo

I know it says this blog followed you, but you probably want to follow me over here.

When I first started Tumblr, I’d meant to use this account for a pokemon Nuzlocke run, and I didn’t realize there was that whole “First blog is your main blog” thing with Tumblr. So. Yay confusion! Personal blog’s the link up there, this one’s… mostly inactive. :’D

((Y’know what?))

I’m going with Emerald.

I’ve asked a bunch of people, and Emerald’s the only one that’s gotten two votes.

So.
Emerald it is! :D SorryKoneko~ |D

((Question for anyone who cares to answer:))

So, thanks to my brother and his GameBoy emulator, I now have Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Crystal, Fire Red, Leaf Green, Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire. So far, I’ve played the first five, and have pretty much no familiarity with the others.

So.

Which one should I try out for my re-started Nuzlocke run?

((OOC Note #3))

So.
Been quiet a long time, I know.
Sorry about that. (as if my grand total of four followers have even noticed…)

Anyway, it seems my Nuzlocke run’s going to have to start over from the beginning.

Again.

Why? Because apparently, the battery in the Silver Version I went out to buy died. Just like the one in my Gold Version did when I first started this thing.
So I lost everything.

Lovely.

So. My brother’s got some Pokemon emulators, so I’ll have to get him to share with me.
And then, Ravyn’s adventures will start all over again!

Day 3

So I finally left.

That aide of Prof. Elm’s gave me some Pokeballs before I left… and I put ‘em to good use. Before I even got to Cherrygrove, I caught my first wild Pokemon - a Sentret. I decided to call her Scout. I think she still half-thinks she’s wild, because she doesn’t like to let me touch her much, and the only time she’ll really listen is in battle… But she and Kai seem to get along pretty well, at least…!

Then, just on the other side of Cherrygrove, I caught a Kakuna. It’s hard to tell… but I THINK she’s a girl… Anyway, I named her Sting, which should work either way, right? Plus, if she’s gonna evolve into a Beedrill, she needs a fitting name, right? But it took three Pokeballs to finally catch her! Who’d have thought a cocoon could put up such a fight?!

I ran across this place. I think it was called “Dark Cave” or something… Anyway, the name fits. Even with Kai’s back going on full blaze, I couldn’t see a thing. I’ll have to see if I can find a better light-source…

But right after that, I caught a Pidgey! Oddly enough, she’s a girl too, and just as stubborn as Sting, apparently. I named her Eire, mostly cuz I thought it was a cool name. But it took another two or three Pokeballs to catch her.

But right after that, I reached Violet City. I’m not ready to take on the Gym Leader yet, though… I’ll train tomorrow, I think, in addition to what we did today. I mean, I can tell that Eire, Scout, and Kai are all getting stronger, but if Falkner’s as tough as people say he is… then we’re gonna need to work for this.

…On a lighter note! I think Kai’s getting a bit over-whelmed by all the girls. When I let everyone out for the night (we’re camped out just outside of Violet), he took one look at us, and went to sulk on the other side of the tent. Until scout and I whined at him to come back. Then Eire went to go sulk. I don’t know why… but she really doesn’t seem to like Kai much…

Oh yeah. One more thing.

I dueled a couple of trainers today, traded numbers with two of them: a bug-guy named Wade, and this kid named Joey.

OH.

DEAR.

GOD.

I just med the kid today. And he called me. SEVEN. TIMES.

I know he said he’d call if anything came up, but that doesn’t mean he has to call me every time he ALMOST catches a Pidgey! And dear god, Joey, talk about something OTHER than your Ratata! I JUST battled it, it’s not that great…!

I’m sorry, that was really mean… I mean, I’m sure he’s just excited to talk to me… There was no reason to explode like that… Um… I should go to sleep… Good night…

Day 2

Well.

I’ve managed to postpone leaving for a whole extra day. I forgot to set my alarm last night, so I woke up late this morning. Then… well… I kept making excuses not to leave. First, I had to pack, because Kai had distracted me last night (I couldn’t bear to leave him all alone in his Pokeball all night), then I decided to clean my room before I leave, so I don’t come back to a mess, and that ate up a good chunk of the day. By the time it was done, it was late afternoon, and hot out, so I decided it was too hot to start a long trip, and took Kai swimming, instead. …To discover that fire-Pokemon really do not like water. Duh. He liked sitting on the beach, out in the sun, though, and it was nice to cool off. …Nice to have Mom’s cooking for one more night, too…

Man, what am I gonna do about food? It’s not like I can bring a microwave or a stove with me, and there aren’t restaurants in every town or in between towns, either… I guess I’ll just have to buy travel-friendly foods each time I hit a town… enough to get to the next one, at least…

Am I really going to be able to do this…?


((In other words… I haven’t actually gotten around to playing yet, but I felt bad, not having an entry up almost TEN DAYS after my last OOC Note… So I at least did something. :’D Actually, it fits with Ravyn’s character to put off leaving like this, so maybe it’s for the best…))

((OOC Note #2 - Operation: Nuzlocke is back online!))

Yep, you read that right! I was able to get to a used game store today, and while they didn’t have a Gold Version at the moment, they /did/ have Silver for fifteen bucks - cheapest Pokemon game they had, in fact~ :D So, since I have now played-through to the point I left off at (and, luckily enough, got the same gender of starter |D), Ravyn’s journey is officially OFF OF HIATUS! YAAAAAY!

*cricket. cricket*
…Well, I’m excited. >.>;;
But yeah, next ‘entry’ should be up in the next couple of days! (Seriously, dude, I write those things in an actual notebook /by hand/. They take a while to finish!)

Oh! And if anyone’s interested, feel free to check out my personal blog, http://rosethourne.tumblr.com/ ! And as always, ASK SOMETHING, PEOPLE~! ANYTHING. FOR ME OR RAVYN. Or heck, even if you’d like to try to ask Kai something, go ahead~ You might even get a picture with your answer, now that I’ve got my laptop back so I can use my tablet and drawing programs! :D

((Apologies - OOC note))

Kay. So. I know I don’t actually have followers yet. But. For anyone who stumbles across this thing, I am now on hiatus, and might be restarting the whole thing. One day after starting it. :I As it turns out, the Gold Version cartridge I started my Nuzlocke on is… well. Broken. It won’t save the game. I discovered this when I went to play earlier today, and discovered, to my dismay… there was no saved game there. The only options were “New Game” and “Cancel”. It seems the batteries inside Gold and Silver versions, which maintain the save-games and game-clock, tend to run out faster thanks to the clock. So. Unless I can find a Gold/Silver version somewhere around here that /doesn’t/ have a dead battery, or I can go out and buy a new one… The entire four-page first-day journal entry won’t be relevant. Cuz the only other games I have are first-gen. And you can’t have a Cyndaquil in Blue Version. :’D HOWEVER. Ravyn will stay the same, no matter what version of the game I end up re-starting her journey on~ So… ummm… yeah! Feel free to drop by and ask questions, or something…!

tumblrbot asked: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE INANIMATE OBJECT?

Favorite… inanimate… object…? Ummmm… I dunno… ehh… Pencils? I guess…? They’re, uh, very useful. And… umm… pointy. And write-y. And erasable, which isn’t true of most pens! …Except erasable pens. But those rough up the paper… so abusive…

((Computers. No doubt about it. Computers. :D))
