''[http://www.nuzlocke.com/ Nuzlocke Comics]'' is a retelling of the author's playthrough of ''[[Pokémon]] [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby]]'', ''[[Pokémon]] [[Pokémon Red and Blue|FireRed]]'', and ''[[Pokémon]] [[Pokémon Black and White|White]]''. Seeking a new challenge, he decided to play the games with [[Self-Imposed Challenge|some additional rules]].

* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: [http://www.nuzlocke.com/pokemonhardmode.php?p=28 "I guess that makes you my "WING MAN."]

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

** : [http://www.nuzlocke.com/pokemonhardmode.php?p=53 Well then, you picked the ''wrong Pokemon''.]

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Ruby himself.

** {{spoiler|[[Badass Abnormal]]: Candace}}

** [[Badass Boast]]: {{spoiler|Whitney}} would like to give Team Rocket a little reminder...

** [[Badass Bookworm]]: Professor Elm faces down a swarm of mad Spearow the first day of the change to buy Candace time to escape, and [[Heroic Sacrifice|lies to her that he'll be okay]].

*** Whitney of all people turns out to have done her homework on Team Rocket, to the point of being able to analyze Giovanni's plans to his face, {{spoiler|though even she was caught off-guard by Silver}}.

* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Manages to be more dark than many of the other runs simply by setting it at the end of the world, then going from there.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]:

* [[Death by Adaptation]]: About half of Johto if you're using the Gym Leaders and totaled cities as a baseline. Casualty count in Kanto is unknown at present.

* [[Determinator]]: Definitely Candace.

** {{spoiler|Silver turns out to be this as well, albeit [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|by different means]].}}

* [[Doomed Hometown]]: The prologue shows the destruction of New Bark Town.

* [[In-Series Nickname]]: Candycane and Zangoose for Candace, {{spoiler|Seviper for Silver.}}

* [[Made of Iron]]: Candace, with hints of [[Iron Woobie]]. Seriously, would you keep going after this?

Three months recovery. }}

* [[Many Spirits Inside of One]] / [[Powers Via Possession]]: {{spoiler|Morty, driven insane and filled with evil spirits from the destruction of Ecruteak City. Candace eventually gives him/them a [[Mercy Kill]], though Silver apparently captured a surviving Gengar.}}

* [[Shout-Out]]: Too many to list.

** Team [[Lady Gaga|Gaga]] in the Diamond run still stands out.

* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: Lucas in the Diamond run, for Kynim. "How do you know my clothing sizes?!" Eventually Haisi hooks up with Lucas instead.

** In the White Run, the role is given to N. Lampshaded in the credits, where he's billed as "Creepy Stalker", and in the Valentine's Day omake:

What do you do? }}

** {{spoiler|Latest update seems to confirm that N fosters a crush on Nina, which [[Cannot Spit It Out|he doesn't know how to express]].}}

* [[Theme Naming]]: Nordic names. Leads to a lot of [[Awesome McCoolname]] and the odd fan going "Wait, how do you pronounce ''that''?"

* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: Nessa eventually catches on that she's being used, but still doesn't know ''what for''.

* [[Vocal Dissonance]]: Thorn as a tiny wild Aron used his thundering voice to frighten others away from sections of the cave that seemed likely to collapse. [[Crowning Music of Awesome|He also sings]] ([[Incredibly Lame Pun|metal, of course]]).
