Let me tell you a story, if you please. A story of a two defeated warriors, both felled too soon.
The first, Bolora the Geodude. He was the first Pokemon to join up with the team, a tough fellow with a solid defensive strategy; take the resisted hits for days on end, wear 'em down with Tackle.
He was also the first to fall. Testing out an old Fishing Rod in the waters of Cherrygrove City, a Krabby was reeled in. A foe the team was not ready to face. The Krabby's Vice Grips were too powerful for Sage to absorb, and her Razor Leaf barely scratched the bulky crab. For Bolora, the only choice was to stand between the water pokemon and its weaker friends.
A Bubblebeam turned this risky call into a Matyrdom. All that saved the team was a last ditch Pokeball, thrown while the Krabby was at all but full health.
Mr Snips was the team's backbone, the power that almost ended the run prematurely coming in handy against many trainers. Snips' vice-like claws were the end of many wild and trained pokemon, including those who would've otherwise joined the team.
It seemed that the powerful crab was satisfied with the allies that we already possessed, and did not desire any more.
But alas, his strength was not enough. Climbing the sprout tower, it fell on Snips to fend off a Hoothoot that was rampaging through the team. For the first, and last, time, Snips failed. An Air Cutter, twice as powerful as a normal attack, sliced the mighty Krabby in two, ending his life.
Neither of them deserved to die, but both went out swinging.
I also got wiped by the Elder when I fought him. Then my hack froze on the white out screen, so I ended up reloading my save state from after Snips' death. Since I'm enjoying myself, I decided to take it as a sign that the Nuzlocke Gods wanted to give me another shot. The second attempt I took a different approach, and defeated the elder without any losses
Anyway, its 4am here, and I really need to go to sleep. Night y'all.
