comment |
Distortion Nuzlocke is a unique entry in the popular Nuzlocke Comics. It's hand-drawn with pencils and crayons, and the story itself is an allegory; the Pokemon world isn't real, but the main character, Johnny, envisions it to cope and interact with his very hard life.With a gang of bullies picking on him, a no-good father, and a thirst to prove himself, Johnny's fantasies blur the line between sanity and madness... and it isn't long before people start to notice.It can be found here. The comic ran from 2012 to 2022. |

Darker and Edgier: Besides the fact that the Pokemon aren't even real, it contains a lot of violence and sanity slippage. |
