Nuzlocke Challenge Introduction

I recently purchased Pokemon White. I enjoy a good Pokemon game, but I wanted to spice things up a bit. As such, I decided to take on the Nuzlocke Challenge. There are two rules to Nuzlocke:

• You may only catch the first wild Pokemon you see in an area.
• If a Pokemon faints, it is dead and gone forever and must be released.

There are countless variants, but it is accepted that one must give a name to each Pokemon to develop a stronger emotional bond before it is inevitably shattered. I am also using the option where you cannot switch Pokemon after every KO in trainer battles. I'm excited to take on this challenge because all the Pokemon you encounter up through the Elite Four are never before seen in previous versions. That means I'm more prone to mistakes like underestimating which moves a Pokemon has or what type it is. It wouldn't be much of a story without a little drama or tension. As is part of the Nuzlocke custom, I will be cataloging my story here. It will contain spoilers to the Pokemon story, but such is life. You have been warned. Buckle up, have some tissues ready, and enjoy. You can start with Part 1 here.
