It’s Tuesday which means it’s time for Crossroads Comics!

This week we’re taking a look at Penumbra. This comic is a Pokémon Moon Nuzlocke that strays from the original story a bit. We follow Krane, a trainer with a mysterious past who is paired with Gylfie the Rowlet. He begins to take on the Island Trial Challenge, but as they get further along they uncover more of Krane’s past. This comic is one of my favorite nuzlocke comics at the moment. From a gameplay standpoint, this nuzlocke is setup to be a bit deadlier than normal nuzlockes due to its no Pokémon Center rules. This lends itself to some interesting storytelling, since not only could anyone die at any moment, but the setting has to be such that these deaths make sense. And Penumbra definitely succeeds with that. Krane’s mysterious background lends itself to unspoken connections and grievances that allow for vengeful deaths. Art style wise, it has some of my favorite designs for the Pokémon, with Gylfie, Lionheart, “Bill Nye” having some really cool designs for their species. That’s not to mention it has one of my favorite battle sequences of all time, with Lyrical Revelation being a beautiful combination of art, animation, and music. All in all, I highly recommend this nuzlocke since it’s a very creative interpretation of the Alola region and its story.
