*<_<;; now this is getting a yearly update too? ... o.o well, i could live with that. ._.;; though i can't really live with how the Nuzlocke Forums treated this run. o.o some time around November of last year, after i got help with whoring it out (thanks again, Derrito), it got banned ... simply for existing ... even though i added every warning. o_o i gave out my appeal, inadvertently ended up helping with fixing the appeals page since it was down, o3o;; and it ultimately amounted to nothing. shortly after that, the forum page for SN-HP was sealed away with no warning whatsoever. o_o despite the name, the nuz forums are not a safe place for your runs, the mods are incompetent asshats who'll overlook your issues and im not alone in this. look here if you don't believe me

*that beheaded Pikachu is a legitimate thing in the hack, as is the Super Potion since you get it by looting the head. o3o;; it's, like, the first thing you see when you exit the woods. either a group went all Lord of the Flies in this motherfucker or a zombie did it for the hell of it
**despite how much the Cutlerine loves his random references, there aren't any direct ones to Lord of the Flies. o_o hell, i bullshitted that theory, others have done the head on stake thing before ...
***o3o;; really, you'd think there would be. hell, Genesis 25 gets referenced very late in the game. that's from the friggin Bible ... ._. im not giving out a named link to that, o3o so instead, here's a named link of Morshu reading it ... but if you want Genesis 25, check that named link instead

*that corpse from Route 116 is also a real corpse in the game. o3o;; there's a lot of dead bodies with interesting descriptions. o_o in the case of that one, well ... "this man has had his brains delicately scooped out through a hole in his skull the size of a ten pence piece" (actual description)
**the item replacement for the Amulet Coin is the Gamble Fish, which describes it as a literal fish, but when i looked it up, all i got was a really stupid manga, so i just put vol. 1 of it there instead

*o.o the old lady's not too important. you get the TM09 from her, but it's Grasswhistle here. so for such a useless TM, i turned her into death fodder

*o_o those possessed severed heads only ever use a single zombiemon, but ... ._. that single one is just enough, the Eye-Eye is as powerful as she is disturbing

*._. yeeeah, crits happen ...
**o.o by the way, the head was originally gonna be punched off, but i went for smashing instead

* the entire battle was pretty scary, helped by the fact that ... well, there's a sudden spike in difficulty. o_o the first Severed Head has a lvl 14 Eye-Eye. you're literally fighting a Jynx, which is pretty nuts this early. but with a level that high for this point in the game? o3o;; yeah, chances are very good that she'll take out 1 or 2 or more pokes, maybe even an entire team. this thing beats Roxanne. o3o;; fitting as she's dead

*o3o yes, that was a JoJo reference ... ._. though it was difficult to depict that with 2 quadrupeds and an egg

*o3o;; where was Trent during this battle? still barfing. <_<;; i mean, come on. he saw the rotting head of a friend stuck on a stick, of course he's still gonna feel sick
**and Topher was a good man too. o3o apparently, he was one hell of a wingman, being responsible for several pika pairs
*** and yes, he did get included in some threesomes as thanks
****he was bigger
*****Trent is bigger than Topher

*o_o this ain't the first time i've depicted a viking funeral. the reason for this one? well, what if the corpse reanimates somehow? o.o we got zombies out here, so ...
