Nuzlocke Comics is a retelling of the author's playthrough of Pokémon Ruby, Pokémon FireRed, and Pokémon White. Seeking a new challenge, he decided to play the games with some additional rules. First, he is only allowed to capture the first Pokémon he encounters on a route or location. If he fails to do so, he's out of luck. Second, if a Pokémon faints, it is considered "dead" and released (or boxed and never used again).Through these rules, he found a new respect for Pokémon that he originally considered trash. The webcomic details his playthrough with more dramatic and comedic emphasis.The comic itself has spawned many fan comics hosted on its site as well as becoming a popular Self-Imposed Challenge among the Pokémon fandom.Apart from the name of the comic and the nickname of the author, the original set of the rules is also known as Nuzlocke. The fans are encouraged to do the same, and the most widely accepted rules are: the original two, with the exception to the first one that if you have already caught the first Pokémon you encounter on the location, you're allowed to safely ignore it, you are allowed to catch all shinies (because they are so incredibly rare you may not even see one); and last, but not least, you should nickname everything.Starting in September 2012, the website introduced two new non-Pokémon-related comics: Space Cat and SpeedRun, However, both have since been cancelled.Also see the list of fan runs. A character Page is now under construction. | |

"Well Done, Son" Guy | |
| Nuzlocke Comics (Webcomic) / int_1779f10e | comment |
"Well Done, Son" Guy: One of Ruby's biggest reasons for taking the challenge is to impress his father, Norman, who always valued "Good-Ruby" the Slakoth/Vigoroth over him. Luke the Oshawott also wants to prove himself to Ruby. His evolution and being used to fight Lenora for the victory have achieved this. | |

The Cameo | |
| Nuzlocke Comics (Webcomic) / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: Most comics give a nod to others, often the original, but the original comic finally threw one in during Episode 26- the viewers of Ruby's battle include Hale, Robot, Nya, Kotone, Locke, and a number of other popular forum comic leads. The end of episode 31 gives us another - Mewtwo has the names of many Nuzlocke trainers including the above, written on the wall of Cerulean Cave... And all of them are scored out, except Ruby, which is in the centre, enlarged. | |

| Nuzlocke Comics (Webcomic) / int_1bf4581 | comment |
Being Tortured Makes You Evil: Mewtwo's psychopathy is explicitly stated to be a result of the torturous experiments he went through at the hands of the scientists who created him. Squirtle grows increasingly more sadistic as he starts to envy Bruce's friendship with Ruby, compared to Gary's own mistreatment of him. | |

Ironic Echo: "...That would be breaking the rules." In the Kanto Episode 19 flashback, when Squirtle is defeated by Bruce, Gary tells him that "I picked the wrong Pokemon." At the end of the Kanto arc, after taking enough of Gary's abuse, Blastoise tells him, "...Well then you picked the WRONG POKéMON." before blowing him away. He also throws his game catchphrase "Smell ya later." at him. | |

| Nuzlocke Comics (Webcomic) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: In Epilogue 6, Blastoise finds Mew inside of a truck. The guardian of Cerulean Cave having comically large hair, which is a joke about the positioning of his sprite in the Gen 1 Games making it look like it was his hair instead of the entrance to the cave. Burgh lets Ruby pick the Radio station on the way to Castelia City, it turns out to be a radio station devoted entirely to Trumpets. | |

Funny Background Event: Look very closely in the stands of Kanto's stadium after Ruby defeats Lorelei. One of the signs reads "UPDATE FASTER." In the news broadcast after Ruby beats Bruno, the news ticker at the bottom reads, "Scientists yet to find slower source than Nuzlocke.com." Whenever the creator makes a creative Bland-Name Product, it tends to get the attention of the fandom. | |

We Hardly Knew Ye | |
| Nuzlocke Comics (Webcomic) / int_676e942c | comment |
We Hardly Knew Ye: Juliet the Spearow only shows up for a single chapter, where her death sparks a conflict between Ruby and Sawyer. The Medicham Ruby caught before the Elite Four gets killed mere panels after its introduction. Hugo the Snorlax, Keith the Hitmonlee, and the Unnamed Eevee and Alexi the Rhyhorn in a more humorous example as Ruby leaves them in the box and gives the Eevee away and Hugo is only used once to move some boulders. And very briefly with an unnamed Kabuto when asked about the fossil he got at Mt. Moon. Fortunately, they are all released instead of dying in battle. A rare human example would be Hilbert, who is only seen at the beginning of the White run hanging from a noose. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| Nuzlocke Comics (Webcomic) / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Part 31 reveals that the Legendary Birds were keeping Mewtwo's power in check and Ruby was being manipulated by Mewtwo to kill them by talking through an illusion of his Nuzleaf. Bruce's request during the fight with Gary was the reason Buddy and Doakes died. Remember Team Rocket's efforts to steal and take over? Turns out that they were researching ways of finally stopping Mewtwo before he got free and Ruby ruined their efforts. In a more humorous version, the reason Norman considers Pokémon above his own family? Bruce flew past his window as a child while looking for Ruby in the past, impressing him so much he became obsessed with Pokémon. During the battle at Nacrene City, N coldly blames Ruby for Hank and Fluf's deaths, saying that wouldn't have happened if Ruby hadn't made them fight in the first place. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Nuzlocke Comics (Webcomic) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Mewtwo creating the Nuzleaf ghost for Ruby has been hinted at since the start. He is clearly only visible from Ruby's POV as shown when he question's the Nuzleaf in the first episode, showing that Ruby was talking to a empty chair, later on he ask why he can see partner's ghost without the Silph Scope which Nuzleaf dismisses as their extremely close bond making him visible, and to hammer it into the ground that there is something not right with his ghost when he's talking with Meowth's ghost in Pokemon Tower it switches to a similar point of view from the start of Fire Red. But unlike Nuzleaf, you can see Meowth's ghostly shape on the tombstone. | |

| Nuzlocke Comics (Webcomic) / int_b90feedc | comment |
Look very closely in the stands of Kanto's stadium after Ruby defeats Lorelei. One of the signs reads "UPDATE FASTER." | |

Big "NO!" | |
| Nuzlocke Comics (Webcomic) / int_c2cedc1c | comment |
Big "NO!": Used by Gary, when he loses his final battle with Ruby. Fittingly enough this makes Ruby reply with a Big "YES!". | |

Shout-Out | |
| Nuzlocke Comics (Webcomic) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: There are many, many Lost references throughout the comic. The author himself admits to being "a huge fan of ABC’s show LOST, to the point of obsession." The name of the comic itself consists of a Shout-Out to Lost (Nuzleaf + John Locke). The Fire Red arc has a few references to The Dark Knight, most notably Charizard being called Bruce, and Squirtle being a caricature of the Joker. When Groudon is unleashed upon Hoenn, it cries "Ah! After ten thousand years I'm free! Time to conquer Earth!" In the Safari Zone, the Safari guide asks Ruby to stand still because he saw something in some bushes, but out of nowhere a Scyther appears besides him. He just says "Clever Girl" in response. In the background of one of the Fire Red epilogue comics, "The Creation Of Adam" is done with Arceus. HEAVEN OR HELL... LET'S ROCK! One page has a movie theater in the background presenting The Slowking's Speech, Midnight in Pallet, Human Scolipede, and Black Swanna. | |

Freudian Excuse | |
| Nuzlocke Comics (Webcomic) / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: Parodied with Maxie, who wants to expand the land because a wave destroyed a sandcastle he made. Played a little more straight with Giovanni, who was constantly beat in battle by Professor Oak as a child and wants to prove himself. | |

Cerebus Syndrome | |
| Nuzlocke Comics (Webcomic) / int_cfdb9e17 | comment |
Cerebus Syndrome: In a series surrounded by dead Pokémon, the story gets somewhat heavy in Fire Red Hard Mode: Gary was the first realized rival in story, and he verbally abused his Squirtle; A Dark Knight motif creeps up along with the Lost References; Compared to the video games, Team Rocket and Giovanni are given more motivation than being evil for the sake of it; their goal is to stop Mewtwo, who manipulated Ruby into killing the legendary birds and Mew. | |

Art Evolution | |
| Nuzlocke Comics (Webcomic) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: Characters in the Ruby arc were drawn with very rudimentary sketches. By the time the Firered arc started, characters more closely resemble their game counterparts and the Pokémon designs got more stylized as well. | |
