* [[Ironic Echo]]: [http://www.nuzlocke.com/pokemonhardmode.php?p=34 "... That would be breaking the rules."]

** : [https://web.archive.org/web/20130901040318/http://www.nuzlocke.com/pokemonhardmode.php?p=53 Well then, you picked the ''wrong Pokemon''.]
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Ruby himself.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: Many of the runs will poke fun at exaggerated character traits of trainers and general [[Fridge Logic]], then hit you with a [[Tear Jerker|tragic death scene]] ''immediately'' after.
Line 110:
* [[You Should Have Died Instead]]: Appears rather often.
==== Tropes seen in [http://s7.zetaboards.com/Nuzlocke_Forum/topic/8326594/1/ Hale's Emerald]/[https://web.archive.org/web/20130926061725/http://s7.zetaboards.com/Nuzlocke_Forum/topic/8424360/1
* [[Book Ends]]: "[[Fallout|War... War never changes.]]"
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: One is provided for May's behavior.
Line 345:
* [[Depending on the Writer]]: What ''is'' Nuzlocke? Does the term have any meaning within the world itself? Is it a [[Self-Imposed Challenge]], a curse, or simply an unnamed rule of the world?
** Can trainers understand what their pokemon are saying? If so, how? Can only some of their pokemon communicate with them, via human speech or telepathy, or can all of them speak freely?
* [[Gender Bender]]: Ara, the artist, is a guy. Mouthing off in response to the "are you a boy/girl" question [https://web.archive.org/web/20120604043822/http://nonparael.deviantart.com/gallery/26511630#/d2y2w28 got him turned into a girl] at the beginning of his Pearl run. However, when [https://web.archive.org/web/20120616004957/http://nonparael.deviantart.com/gallery/27953108#/d366drk Ara turns "back" into a guy for his Black run], he looks more like a genderbent version of girl!Ara than he does like actual Ara, [[Mind Screw|which has confused some people into thinking the girl form is correct and the first genderbend was just a joke]].
* [[Green Thumb]]: It's common for Red/Blue/Fire Red/Leaf Green Nuzlockers to choose Bulbasaur as their starter. In the comic, it may be justified as the character thinking it's cute or favoring grass types in general, but strategically speaking, it is the best to start with when you want to make a run with as few casualties as possible, since it has a type advantage against the first two gyms. And its Poison typing gives it an immunity to poisoning.
** Subverted HARD in Gold/Silver/Crystal/HG/SS runs. You'll be hard-pressed to find a Nuzlocke that has a player choosing Chikorita. The poor grass type has a [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors|type disadvantage against]] BOTH the first two gyms. Really, if you counted, Cyndaquil is by-and-large the most popular starter for Johto with Totodile as a close second. Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald nuzlockers usually prefer Torchic and Mudkip (the latter for its [[Memetic Mutation|memetic]] status). However, the aversion to grass types isn't as egregious in Gen 3 as it is in Johto.
