Comic Hoenn General Close Calls - A Pokemon Emerald Nuzlocke

[MrElectrik]

Close Calls - A Pokemon Nuzlocke Challenge ​

Welcome! This is my first comic and nuzlocke challenge I'm tackling. As Emerald was the first Pokemon game I was exposed to, I wanted to see if I could beat it with the risks of nuzlockes. The general rules of this run are as follow:

1. Once a Pokemon faints, it is considered dead and will be moved to the PC for good.
2. Only one Pokemon can be caught per route, town, or cave/forest. Shiny Pokemon are the exception.
3. Each caught Pokemon will be given a nickname to grow attached to even further.

I don't have a concrete schedule in mind, but I plan to post pages weekly, or more often depending on how busy my life is. Thanks for reading!

Oh it's lovely to see a new Hoenn Comic again (These get rare nowadays..!) I'm curious where your story will take us, it looks nice so far!

Aaaaaah, this style is refreshing. It’s got a lot of character to it, in a Sunday morning paper kind of way. I don’t think I’ve seen a comic that has quite this... mood? In a while. Straightforward and comedic, but not dry and cynical. I appreciate it.

I’ll be following. Good luck and happy Nuzlocking!

@A-K-TheLittleFairy Then its great I'm running with one of my favorite regions. Thanks so much!
@Bug Thanks for the encouragement! I hope I get enough fun (and sad >_<) moments in my Nuzlocke to share with everyone.

Simple and straightforward, this takes me right back to early nuzlocke reading days. I can already see the seeds of a powerful duo growing between our hero and his torchic in that one panel where they just lock eyes for the first time. The style of color coded characters keeps everything clear yet probably simple to color, pretty clever choice! Good luck entering the wonderful world of comic making, may all your updates be on time!

torchic's face is my mood

also this run seems pretty cool! good luck on the locke!

 

[MrElectrik]

@Kadew I'm glad I could give some nostalgia! The simple style works for me, also since I'm still learning the ropes of digital drawing :)
@Cirr Thanks! We've all been Torchic's mood..

 

[MrElectrik]

I bring Chapter 2! While I don't have an exact schedule, I'll try to post whenever I can finish pages. Thanks for everyone's encouragement :D

Misread Guac's first statement and ended up at a very surprising conclusion. So here, have some fanart.

Spoiler: I wonder what they talk about...

the upside-down lotad is sad and adorable, what a simple yet charming introduction to guac. a good lad without two wits to rub together

 

[MrElectrik]

Life's very crazy, so some responses and I'll have the next page soon.

@0 Anonymous Wow I can't believe how closely the A and C make an N with that font...prob shouldve seen it coming >-<. But here's a little inspired comic just to celebrate Guac's secrets

Spoiler: Good ol' Guac

@Kadew He's an adorable little lotad, simple but so lovable.
