Pokemon Diamond Nuzlocke Announcement

Uh...
The title says it all. If you're watching me and like pokemon, please stop by and check it out. It's really just an offshoot series so I can improve my writing and have something to do when I'm up waaaay to late for whatever reason. Plus it makes the nuzlocke a lot more fun. If some of you don't know, I had originally started this deviantart page for other peoples art and to post my writings. Although I'm quite happy with all the friends I've made doing vectors and I enjoy doing adoptables, I really would like to return to my original plan of getting my stories here. Which is kinda the whole reason I'm writing a journal announcement for some more journal's I plan on posting. 

Anywho, that's it. Expect Entry 1 soonish, and get some information about my Nuzlocke down below~

Nuzlocke Rules:
1. If a pokemon faints it is considered dead and must be released or placed in the box for the remainder of the game. 
My twist however is that I sorta suck at pokemon, so while I will be abiding by the 'unusable' rule, in the story I plan to alternate this a bit and no one will die unless I feel it's necessary to the plot. Don't worry, I do have a good plan in place so that my character will still feel the loss and the pokemon itself will not be around in the story any longer.
2. You may only catch the first pokemon you see on a route. You don't have to use them, but they can be placed in the box and still be taken out when needed. This one is really simple, I'll be sticking to it in game and in story. I will however be using the shiny clause. If I run into a shiny, I'll catch it but unless it's a pokemon I really love, or I can fit it well within the plot of the story, I will be boxing it as unusable for the rest of the game. 
3. You must nickname every pokemon you catch. 
Following this one to a tee, it's incredibly easy. 

I believe that is the only rules I'll be following, if I forgot one, well I'll figure it out eventually. But as you can see with the first rule, while I will be following all of these in game, I'm really doing this for a guideline for the story, so these rules will be bent around the plot when I go to write it. 

Still with me? Awesome. Thanks! Here's an adorable pony:
