Pokemon Ruby(?) Nuzlocke: Ep. 1: I Sincerely Apologize...
202Welcome to the start of a new LP! It may seem like a typical Nuzlocke of Ruby at first, but then you will realize... it is much, much crappier. One nice addition that previous Pokemon LP's of mine did not have is the team status to the left of the video. I really hope you guys like this feature, because it took me awhile to figure out how to do it. Anyway, I know I will get a LOT of questions regarding this game, so after you're done watching, please read this whole description before asking anything.
Q: What on Earth is this!?
A: A long time ago, I wanted to make a hack of a Pokemon game using my own sprites. Some of my older fans might remember me mentioning this way back when. However, the project was abandoned when I realized it was not turning out the way I had envisioned it, and it was far more work than it was worth. Now, many years later, I decide to Nuzlocke it blindly. Yes, it is unfinished, and yes, many of the things in it do not make sense, but that is the fun of it. No, I will not ever finish this hack for the same reasons I cancelled it to begin with, and no, you cannot finish it or edit it for me.
Q: What the heck is a *insert Pokemon here*?
A: Most of them are sprite fusions I have made in the past. They all suck. See why I never finished this? However, there are additional Pokemon in this game that are not my sprites. If I know what they are, I will explain at the time we see it, and if I do not, I cannot say anything more.
Q: How much of this game has been changed from the original Ruby?
A: I'm pretty sure every Pokemon of the Hoenn Dex has been changed to something else, and a select few of the human characters look a bit different. Only a small amount of dialogue has been changed, and practically no trainer information or map data has changed. To sum it up, it's pretty much exactly the same as Ruby, but it has different Pokemon.
Q: Why don't you remember much about the hack? You're the one who made it.
A: Well, not only because it was a long time ago, but I also NEVER actually played it, even back when I was making it. I didn't want to actually play it until it was finished, but since it will never get finished, I see no reason not to play it at least once, just to see what happens.
Q: How do you hack Pokemon games?
A: Please look up tutorials somewhere else on YouTube. I have not done it in a very long time, so there is not a whole lot I remember.
Q: Can I have the Rom for this game? I'd like to play it!
A: I'm sorry, but no. Not only is distributing Roms illegal, but I would prefer this game to stay on my computer only. Don't worry, I'm doing you a favor. This is a terrible excuse for a Pokemon game. Please just support Game Freak and Nintendo instead by purchasing real copies of games from them.

Nuzlocke Rules for this Playthrough
-------------------------------------------------
1. Any Pokemon that faints is considered dead, and they can never be used again. They will be immediately deposited in a PC Box and never be seen again.
2. I am limited to catching only the first Pokemon encountered in a given route or area. If I do not catch it, I am out of luck. No exceptions, no loopholes.
3. I cannot level any Pokemon higher than the highest leveled Pokemon of the next Gym Leader. If I do, that Pokemon is not allowed to participate in battle. This rule is to prevent over-leveling and the ability to win every battle simply by being a higher level. The Level cap for the Elite Four is 53 this time around. They are higher leveled than in Black, but lower than in Fire Red.
4. All Pokemon must be nicknamed, and I cannot re-use any nicknames from any of my previous LP's.
