A Nuzlocke Attempt

March 24 at 11:40pm

So, I bought Pokémon Black a few weeks ago, and I decided to try a Nuzlocke. To my surprise, it's a bit more emotional than I thought.

Current team:

Twitch the Galvantula, Level 37. Male, caught at level 26 in Chargestone Cave.
Zuveta the Gothorita, Level 37. Female, caught at level 20 on Route 16.
Simba the Darmanitan, Level 36. Male, caught at level 16 on Route 4.
Tuff the Stoutland, Level 36. Male, caught at level 4 on Route 1.

Captured, never used:

Kramer the Minccino, Level 21. Male, caught on Route 5.
Gloa the Litwick, Level 26. Female, caught in Celestial Tower.

Graveyard:

Velma the Pidove. Level 8-13. Female, caught on Route 3. Cause of death: Cress.
Kermit the Tympole. Level 13. Male, caught outside of Pinwheel Forest. Cause of death: Wild battle.
Tucker the Purrloin. Level 5-13. Male, caught on Route 2. Cause of death: Cress.
Apollo the Tepig. Level 5-16. Male, received in Nuvema Town. Cause of death: Lenora.
Monroe the Pansage. Level 10-16. Male, received in Dreamyard. Cause of death: Lenora.
Stickler the Scolipede. Level 20-31. Male, caught in Lostlorn Forest. Cause of death: Clay.
Jebediah the Archen. Level 25-31. Male, received in Nacrene City. Cause of death: N.
Daphne the Unfezant. Level 15-33. Female, caught in Pinwheel Forest. Cause of death: Cooltrainer in Chargestone Cave.
Dasher the Sawsbuck. Level 24-35. Male, caught on Route 6. Cause of death: Cooltrainer in Twist Mountain.

Yeah, this is emotional for me. Losing my starter, Apollo, was really tough. Stickler, Jebediah, Daphne, and Dasher were the worst. I keep thinking my team is set, then someone knocks one out. It's saddening, really. It makes me really want to protect my team.

Tuff is kind of an accident. I didn't think he would last this long, but now he is the leader of my team. Zuveta is the only girl, and she is kind of tough to figure out. Battlewise, I mean. Simba is scary to use, because he's so strong. I really don't want to lose him. And Twitch just beat Skyla. I love that electric spider.

Well, here's to a good Nuzlocke! I have a feeling it will get more difficult from here.

Signing off for tonight,
~Max

Great news, everyone! I got a $30,000 scholarship from K-State! That's over a third of my college paid for! And I was chosen for it because I had the ACT score for it. :D

Maybe it isn't a good idea to type these late on a school night. Oh well, you can have short paragraphs, I can answer questions later.

I'm trying to do a Nuzlocke on Black right now, but I'm not sure where I am or what I have, because I haven't played for a few weeks. Changing rooms in a house can mean a change in lifesty...

Well, it seems like I have sufficiently waited long enough to have enough to update this dusty journal, so let me think about what has happened that needs updating...

I'm finally a senior, and so far, it's been both awesome and tiresome. I'm the Student Council president, an NHS member, Scholars' Bowl team captain, Forensics team member, and Office Aide for the high school office. I'm in band, jazz band, vocal, and a musical, and when I don't have homework, I'm practicing for one of those thi...

HOKAY. The trip to Oklahoma made me realize that I want to live by a lake when I get older. To live by a lake, I have a few requirements for myself:

1. The lake must be large.
2.Big house by the lake
3. Large boat. Basically a yacht.
4. At least three jet skis

There is probably more, but those are what I'm going to require to be happy. I know, being materialistic isn't good, but I would be so satisfied if I could have those things.

And this is way too far ahead to be thinking about, ...

Day Four

Saturday, the day of moving. We were recruited to help Tori move into college, which was an hour away from Branden's house, in Arkansas. We left at 8:45, stopped in a town about 15 minutes into the trip and got breakfast at McDonald's. It was actually pretty good, but then again, I love bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel. :D

We got seperated from Tori, as she took a seperate vehicle loaded with her college stuff. Branden called her, and we caught back up to her and found our way to...

Day Three

Alrighty, we woke up on the third day, and I don't remember what we had for breakfast. But who cares what we ate, right? Anyway, around 10 or so, Peter came over to Branden's house and brought some guns to go shoot at a pond that was on the property. We all piled into Peter's vehicle and rode to the pond, which wasn't that far. The guns included a revolver and two rifles. Everyone, except me, shot the rifles, and Peter and Branden shot the revolver. I didn't shoot at all because I d...

Day Two

On the second day, I woke up around 10-ish, I think? Branden's mom was making pancakes, so there was breakfast right away. Chris and Branden ate their pancakes like normal, with butter and syrup. I made a powdered sugar sandwich, putting a bunch of powedered sugar between two pancakes. It was delicious, and my friends thought I would be hyper the rest of the day. Jacob also made a powdered sugar sandwich, although with less sugar.

After breakfast, we started getting ready to go to ...

Wow. I'm sore from the lake/riding in a car for 8 hours, and I've been distracted by the chat. Let's see if I can do this.

Alright, this will be a long entry, because I have a LOT of stuff to cover from just five days. I would doubt if anyone would read the whole thing, but like I said, this is so I can come back and reminisce about what has happened since I joined EHQ, both on site and in real life. So, without further ado, I begin what may be my longest entry yet.

So, I'm going to see Rachel tonight at the county fair that she has been participating in. I'm actually really excited, because I haven't seen her for at least 3 months. But, we've started texting each other recently, so we managed to get this get-together organized.

Who remembers Greta? The girl I asked out over a month ago and was turned down by? Yeah, well, she invited me to her older sister's birthday party (it's actually supposed to be an awareness thing for human trafficking), and I'm p...

So, to start this journal, I'll start with something that was really fun: finally performing an actual gig with my band! We played 8 songs, which is way more than we've ever played for any other public performance. The songs we played were:

Any Way You Want It-Journey
I Wanna Be Sedated-The Ramones
Bullet Soul-Switchfoot
Stacy's Mom-Fountains of Wayne
Be My Escape-Reliant K
What I Like About You-The Romantics
Helter Skelter-The Beatles
Sweet Home Alabama-Lynyrd Skynyrd

Our band's lineup was different...

Because I've actually been able to work in HTML at work recently, I've learned CSS, and I feel like I have enough of a hold on it that I could use the advanced base styler here at Route 50. My only problem? I don't know what to base the design off of. If you have any ideas, feel free to tell me, and I'll see if I like it enough to make it my base!

To my surprise, even though I will have done more than I did last summer, in the end, I'll have spent less money (this isn't counting gas and cell ...

Note: It sounds like people in my life are mean and don't care. But don't believe that, because they do care. Except my boss. I don't care what he thinks.

I feel like I complain too much. If I do, then you are probably thinking, "He finally realizes it!" If I don't, then I must be crazy. I don't think I (seriously) complain that much in real life, so that may be why I feel I complain on the Internet, because it is supposed to be a place of escape. Or it is for me.
