Chinese Pokémon Blue Nuzlocke!! Part 1

[talec]

ETA: Now screenreader friendly!

HEY WHAT I'm trying this again! This time with a Blue rom! This one lets me catch Pokémon! 8D

Once again I apologize in advance for probably terrible chinese transcription.

Nuzlocke Rules For This Run
• If a Pokémon faints, you must release it as soon as possible.
• If all your Pokémon faint, that's game over.
• You must nickname every Pokémon you catch. (Um...)
• You may only attempt to capture the first Pokémon you encounter in each area, route, cave, city, etc. If you don't catch it, tough shit.




Here we go!



Hi Oak!



My choice of names... wait, I see "name" in that top one. Can I give myself my own name?!



Um...



A+ not removing the "change script" field



no this is too silly.



yaoi_prophet insisted on this, so 7664 it is.



My rival is 2337 now.

So I go in the grass and get dragged back to the lab.



what

(Transcribe, less one hanzi I can't find:
“出生後背
硬化成殼可?力噴泡沫”
Unexpectedly, it seems to be the Red/Blue entry translated into Chinese.)



um okay



CAN I NICKNAME IT? MOMENT OF TRUTH:



This is so lame D:



2337 takes a monster with no name.




We fight and I win.

~ stuff ~



Pokédex get!



hahaha I didn't even notice that the "PKMN[XXX]" naming scheme isn't even synched with the pokédex



I like how the 'Pokédex' and 'Your Team' slots are named the same :V



hey wait a minute does that Pidgey have a name? :O

Time to buy stuff.



Oh that's promising-looking.



My inventory: 3 Potions, 10 PokéBalls, 6 Antidotes.



I head west into Route 22 and encounter a Nidoran (F)! She's got a name too! :O



After some nail-biting Tackles, she is mine!
AND NOW FOR ANOTHER MOMENT OF TRUTH



Some RAM replacement aside, I have survived the Pokédex entry!! THIS IS EXCITING.



No I'll keep the hanzi name.




Here's her stats. Her name is 雷德恩; NJStar tells me that their individual readings are Léi / dé / ēn. Leideën it is.




I pay the Old Man a visit. Dang he's got a lot of PokéBalls.



Caught a Pidgey on Route 2! :D




Pokédex and stats. Name is 反奇; Fanchi.

I went into Viridian Forest and caught a Caterpie!




...It doesn't have a name. So I named it 4.



Oh!



Yay! (Is that a name I see?)



Metapod's name is 米塔, apparently!

My team is currently:
• 1 (Squirtle) Lv9
• Leideën (NidoranF) Lv6
• Fanchi (Pidgey) Lv6
• 4 (Metapod) Lv7

I don't feel good about taking my chances with 2337 further down Route 22, so I'll check out Viridian Forest a bit more.



Oh! My first trainer battle! :O



These chances, on the other hand, I am feeling fine about.

Leideën takes out the weedle with only 2 damage taken. The following caterpie takes off a skosh over half, but she's got it in the bag. She also gained two levels during this fight, and learned Scratch. :D

All right.



All my dudes are 8, Squirtle is 9. This will be easy.



Why did I say easy? :I
I forgot to move Metapod from the first position. Tackled once, realized he wasn't going to stand up to the pidgey's Gusts, switched to Squirtle. He couldn't stand against the Sand-Attacks, but Fanchi could!



Okay. We can do this.



Leech seed >:(



I switch to Metapod, String Shot twice and switch back to the de-seeded Leideën!

We do this a couple more times, and...



Victory! And I didn't even lose anyone! :D

I go back to exploring Viridian Forest (and leveling my doods).



Caught a Rattata on Route 2 (Pewter side, I think it counts as separate from Viridian City's side since there's a whole friggin forest in between...)!




Name is 雷塔: Leita. LATAH.

Team time:



• 1 (Squirtle), Lv10
• Leideën (NidoranF), Lv9
• Fanchi (Pidgey), Lv9
• 4 (Metapod), Lv9
• Leita (Rattata), Lv3
