Snivy I Choose You!

With the hype for Pokemon being at an all time high, thanks to Pokemon Go, I have decided to start my own Pokemon Challenge.  The last Pokemon game that I played was Ruby, on the Game Boy Advanced.  I have fond memories of the game, although I played both Red and Silver drastically more than I ever did Ruby.  So, I decided to pick up a copy of Pokemon Black 2 and play through that, not having any familiarity with anything new since then.

These days, all of the hype is playing through Pokemon games under some constraint.  People are doing the wedlocke/nuzlocke thing, so I thought I would impose my own limitations during the course of the game.  Here are the ones I have laid out:

1. I may only ever have 6 Pokemon.  I am not allowed to catch a pokemon if I do not already have room for it in my team.  There will be absolutely NO using the Computer to store additional Pokemon.  Any pokemon that may be sent to the computer, for whatever reason, will be released.
   
2. Every pokemon will receive a nickname.
   
3. A Pokemon that faints will be released.  They no longer respect a trainer that cannot handle their own family.
   
4. No Evolving.  Evolved Pokemon may be captured, but I must not let any of my pokemon evolve.  Any accidentally evolved Pokemon will be released.

With those restrictions in place, let the game begin!  I will catalog where I am in the plot periodically, as well as every pokemon caught, and released (and for what reason it was).

For my starter I chose the Grass pokemon: Snivy.  He's a cute little thing; let's see how long he lasts.
