>>34129169First nuzlocke, first playthrough of any of the gen 2 games or their remakes... I had no idea what to expect from Bugsby; I know I didn't expect two cocoons and a savage motherfucker scyther. Heck, I thought my team was going to beat this gym EASILY, considering the typing... but the focus energy crits keep coming and they don't stop coming, and scyther was way tankier than I would have guessed.
Sniffles, you took me through all of my early victories. You had this begin, and I'm sorry you had to reach your end so soon. You deserved so much better.
Deckard, when I first encountered you, I was really so, so happy to get a mareep... I love your line, and I thought I was incredibly lucky. That luck was lost when I saw that critical quick attack come out from a paralyzed scyther... I'm sorry. I will keep you in my dreams.
Dice, you were my back-up. You were the extra linesman I had against the creepy crawlies of the bug gym, for when Quilava was in danger. Again, a crit took you from me... but I will remember how essential you were. The gust you DID manage to get off beforehand made it possible to secure the kill, even if you had to make the ultimate sacrifice to do it. Dice, the hero that died so that Contra, Zion, and Zuck may live.
