I'm doing a Nuzlocke Challenge!

For those of you who don't know what the challenge entails, check it out here. To start, I used random.org to pick my starter. It showed up as 1, as pictured below. More on this later.

I might do a few other randomly-chosen things as the game progresses, like which fossil to pick. Anyway, on to the particulars.

I have chosen LeafGreen to do the challenge. Part of the reason is that I actually own LeafGreen, so I am legally allowed to use the ROM on my phone. There will be no legal issues. The other, more important reason is that LeafGreen has Vulpix. Here's hoping I get one.

Okay, now that that's all established, on to the game! As I mentioned before, I rolled a 1 at random.org, which means my starter will be Bulbasaur! I will be using random nicknames for all of my Pokémon, as generate by this site. I have no idea how good this site is, it was just the first one to pop up when I searched for "name generator for games".  Unfortunately, t generates a table of 119 names, not a single name. So, I'll look for random numbers 1-7 for the columns and 1-17 for the rows. I need to see if random.org has an easy-to-use API. But that's just a tangent. The results were 6, 4. Woo!

Now, looking at the list of names, the choice is "Widl". Hrm. I suppose that's apt enough. Widl the Bulbasaur. Time to fight Douche, my rival. Why yes, I am 12 years old, apparently. And, as it turns out, you can actually lose the first battle. I have never done that before. Since Professor Oak is willing to pay my "fee", and Widl isn't actually feinted, we're just going to ignore that loss.

After that humiliating defeat, I think it's time to sign off. Check in tomorrow for another update!
