Yes, this is still a thing. Get your monthly bi-monthly sporadic Nuzlocke fix here! \o/

'NuzRea' by Skitea

Okay this person has like a million watchers alReady (deservedly so, since she makes super fantastic art, and LOTS of it), but she's new to the Nuzlocke community, so you might not know her yet. Which should be changed, since it would be a shame if you missed out on her Nuzlocke of Pokémon X.
It's in Flash format, with buttons and sound and even some little animations, and if that's not the most fun thing ever, then I don't know either. ouo Only one chapter so far, so I can't say anything about the story without spoiling literally everything there is, but I SWEAR it will be good, and y'all trust me, right? So just let me gush a bit about the art, especially the expressions. The characters's expressions are the Reason I read this chapter over and over again because they are just so precious and make me happy. And the main character is soooooooo adorable and the epitome of ginger. Can you just watch the intro animation now, so I can stop typing? ;w;

'Pokémon HeartGold Adventure' by PatiLee

This is probably the best character centric Nuzlocke I know. It takes all the time in the world to show interactions between the Pokémon, so you will grow to love them all and never forget who's on the team. For example, my favourite is Hilary the Furret who usually acts harshly towards the other Pokémon, but puts his cutest face on for their trainer Lee who doesn't understand Pokémon language. I swear, if anyone of them dies, I will cry forever.
'But Kris, if this comic spends so much time on things that aren't related to moving forward with the plot, it can't be getting anywhere and will never be finished!' Haha. No. They just won the 4th Badge after only 33 pages. I don't know how she's doing it either.
Oh, don't be confused by the first page saying it's not a Nuzlocke, the game was restarted very soon after the beginning and then played as a Nuzlocke. Makes the backtracking after showing the Togepi to the professor much more interesting~

'Sam's FireRed Nuzlocke' by GodSAMmit

:bigthumb361250427:

This comic is remarkable for being able to frequently switch between comedy and drama without awkwardness. You never know if the next page will make you laugh-cry or cry-cry, and both are great. When I'm sad, I just read the page with the Running Shoes again because it's impossible to still be sad after that. c: When I want to be sad, I read the beginning again after already knowing some of the very angry main character's backstory.
Warning/additional selling point: Language. :V
Another reason why you should watch GodSAMmit are her detailed paitings, they are great and usually psychedelic.

'Shiro's Trial' by Doctor-Six

You might have seen this one if you frequent the Nuzlocke Forum, but it's not so well-known on dA, so here you go. Started many years ago and still going strong, so you can look forward to a lot of pages to read~
The art is highly detailed and in full color everywhere, and every page is a delight just for that already, especially the nighttime and cave sences. The older pages even got some updates not long ago, for a more consistent visual quality of the whole story.
Of course you need more for a good Nuzlocke than just mad drawing skillz, and this one has everything: A thrilling plot (even though the cover clearly shows you who it's about), some sprinkles of humor, and good characters. I'm especially impressed with the interpretation of canon characters. Blue, Bill, Sabrina, Giovanni - all different from what you'd expect and all really, really freaking great.
