Line 4:
** Given the large number of variations on the same stories, there's quite a bit of this within the spinoff comics as well. One of the more common interpretations in runs of [[Pokémon Red and Blue|the first gen and its remakes]] is the common [[Fanon]] theory of Blue/Gary being Oak's [[The Unfavorite|Unfavorite]] while his grandfather favors the MC appears quite often. Other runs paint him as a flat-out [[Jerkass]], while others split the difference for a [[Jerkass Woobie]].
** Another frequent point of variation: how gym leaders and other trainers respond to death on the battlefield. Any given gym leader could be portrayed as a professional who has accepted death as a natural consequence of battle, a friendly foe who's honestly shocked at seeing their opponent's pokemon die, or an utter [[Jerkass]] who gloats and rubs the loss in their face.
** [[Pokémon Red and Blue
** In ''almost any'' Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald run you read, Norman will be interpreted as a trainer who is so obsessed with Pokemon that he neglects spending time with his family.
** In the same vein, Archie is seldomly portrayed as anything more than [[Stupid Evil|a moron]]. Maxie has a few moments [[What an Idiot!|("How did I not see water is GOOD?!"),]] but he is generally shown as more intelligent and having [[Anti-Villain|greater thought out motives.]]
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: [[Nuzlocke Comics
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: [[Nuzlocke Comics
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: And [[Nuzlocke Comics
* [[Fake Difficulty]]: YMMV, but due to the random nature of the game playing a big part of the game, the Nuzlocke challenge tends to involve more grinding and random deaths.
* [[Fan Nickname]]:
Line 20:
** Or, more recently, with [[Mr. Fanservice|N]].
* [[Straw Man Has a Point]]: There's something to be said for N's claims -- that pokemon battles are cruel, selfish, and only result in pokemon being hurt -- on a normal playthrough. On a Nuzlocke run, he's pretty much right.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Whenever a Pokemon dies. [[Nuzlocke Comics
** [[Wangst]]: Once you apply [[Fridge Logic]] to the Nuzlocke comics.
Line 27:
* [[Growing the Beard]]: The Ruby run was good, but rough around the edges. The Fire Red run saw a general improvement in the art, dialogue, characterization and plot, and was an even better series.
* [[Ho Yay]]: Bill and the guy with glasses.
* [[Squick]]/[[Fan Service]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20110103212732/http://www.nuzlocke.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/ruby51.jpg Torkoal used Attract!]
==== Hale's Emerald/Platinum Hard Mode ====
* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: May goes from a [[Flat Character]] who didn't get as much characterization as Rival!Brandon to a [[Stalker
** Also in Emerald, Archie is a hippie, and Maxie is highly competant - he just wants to give land-dwellers a place to stay whenever Archie manages to flood the world.
** And then there's [[Creepy Twins|Tate]] and [[Twincest|Liza]]... even their Pokemon were freaked out.
Line 37:
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: In Hale's comic, Hale tells May that she should kill herself. {{spoiler|Guess what she tries to do later on.}}
** [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: May was treated as an [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]] and her threats of murder aren't taken very seriously, even when she kills grandma Winstrait. {{spoiler|But then she finally manages to kill Django...}}
* [[Ship
* [[Memetic Badass]]: Connery, according to his fans.
Line 47:
==== Nyachan's Nuzlocke Challenges ====
* [[Memetic Outfit]]: Played with during her Pearl run, as {{spoiler|Lily remains the heroine and Gary the rival, but they wear the familiar outfits of Dawn and Barry}}.
* [[Ship
==== Kynim's Nuzlocke Runs ====
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Kynim wasn't really expecting all the love Mimi got from the instant she joined the team.
* [[Shipping]]: During her platinum run [https://web.archive.org/web/20131115160019/http://s7.zetaboards.com/Nuzlocke_Forum/topic/8421769/1/ Kynim] dates {{spoiler|Roark}} after {{spoiler|beating him in a [http://fav.me/d37j1la Gym Battle]}}
** Her White run is ''full'' of [[Ship Tease|ships getting teased]].
Line 62:
==== [[Shining Ace]]'s Nuzlocke ====
* [[Shipping]]: Notable as [https://web.archive.org/web/20121128035225/http://s7.zetaboards.com/Nuzlocke_Forum/topic/8415965/1
** {{spoiler|And then he met Sabrina...}}
==== Other comics ====
* [[Complete Monster]]: [[Villain Protagonist]] Melvin from the [[Dead Fic|dead comic]] ''Chronicles of Rolthar'', whose mission is to kill every last Pokemon trainer in Kanto and [[Eye Scream|take their eyes as trophies]]. He has a [[Freudian Excuse]], but it's flimsy (his brother lost an eye in some sort of war involving Pokemon training, and Melvin is trying to get revenge for him) and wasn't fully-explained before the comic went dead, and [[Word of God|Word of Artist]] says he's not supposed to be sympathetic.
** The Unnamed Protagonist from [https://web.archive.org/web/20130801043504/http://s7.zetaboards.com/Nuzlocke_Forum/topic/8579823/1/ Pitch Black] is a [[Nightmare Fuel|terrifying]], evil, sadistic protagonist. From the beginning it's established that he's NOT a good character, (Considering we see his first activities IMPALING POKEMON ON HIS PICKET FENCE). From then on, any Pokemon he catches he forces to fight and brutally murder his friends and family and sees them nothing more as tools, even going as far as to {{spoiler|KILL his own Pokemon}}. Basically, he's an even worse version of Paul. His Oshawott, Icarus, MAY be just as bad.
