Kanto Turn Back, a Pokemon Red Nuzlocke run by WildTonyAppears
Hello, fellow Pokemaniacs! After years of dabbling in the fine art of Pokemon, I have seen the highs (sweeping teams of legendaries online) and the lows (getting completely thumped by a Rotom-Wash), and I was ready for a new challenge. So I thought I would put my skills to the ultimate test, and start up my very first Nuzlocke Challenge! Oh my stars!! As I am yet to obtain the newest entries in the franchise, I figured I'd honour 20 years of Pokemon by taking it back to where it all began. That's right, I'm ready and raring to relive the glory and abuse the mechanics (Dragonite w/Wrap, anyone?) of gen 1.
This is all uncharted territory for me, so if I've done something particularly daft or offensive, please let me know and I shall endeavour to fix it! As an aside, this video series is intended for mature audiences only. There's nothing too overly sinister, but I swear like a sailor who's stubbed his toe, and I don't want to corrupt the children.
Here are the rules that I have set before myself for this run...
1. Fainted Pokemon must be released as soon as possible. I think this is fairly academic.
2. Only the first Pokemon encountered in an area can be captured. Again - can't call it a Nuzlocke otherwise, can we?
3. No healing items! I know this is an optional rule, but I'm running with it, despite how much I hate myself for doing so.
4. Nickname all Pokemon. I do this anyway. My favourite was a Seedot I named HE IS VIGO.

So please enjoy! If I've done anything that is a Nuzlocke no-no, please let me know! I may be a noob-locke, but I'm willing to learn. Here is a full list of the episodes for your edification.
