Nuzlocke Challenge

Stupid Smogon butchering /v/'s creation. Nuzlocke originated from a comic, and the two rules are based off of the first panel:

 Spoiler

Actually, you have it the other way around. The dude on /v/ made his comic based on the Nuzlocke rules, he didn't create them.


By the way, the comics were posted here in the funhouse.

Edit: Never mind, not even too sure if the dude made them or not. I remember seeing similar rules made years ago, but not sure if they were ever labeled "Nuzlocke". I'll see if I can dig the post up on Serebii.net somewhere where someone said they would go through a Pokemon game without healing items and releasing fainted Pokemon. Not sure if any of the other rules were the same.

Edit 2 - http://www.nuzlocke.com/?page_id=2 Says he made them. Looking for the Serebii.net post with similar rules made in like 05 or so. Probably coincidence though, since I'm sure he isn't the first person to think of imposing such harsh rules on a Pokemon playthrough, considering how easy the single player game is.
