Extremely Fire, Much Wow

[Bulbasaur]

Found this terrible amazing ROM hack with ninjaskarmory a few months ago. It is called Pokemon Extremely Fire, and it seemed like a perfect first Nuzlocke for me.

So, I'm pretty much using standard rules, but here they are:
1. Pokemon must be nicknamed, so I can "bond closer" with them.
2. If a Pokemon dies, it's gone. I will be moving it to the PC so I can keep track of who I lost, but I will not be withdrawing them ever again.
3a. First encounter in each area is the only catch I can make in that area.
3b. If the first encounter in an area is a Pokemon I've already found, I can choose to capture something else from the area I don't have (AKA dupes clause).
3c. Encountering a shiny overrides rule 3a.

Now for update 1!

Spoiler:

Looks normal, right? We'll see about that shortly.



Is that a Spheal? I don't remember that being there in the actual FireRed.



Anyways, the overworld sprite looked like a Preston, so we're gonna name him Preston.



Watch out guys, my rival thinks about aid team ROCKET!
The grammar in this game is quite fun.



Because Team Rocket ROBs people of Pokemon. Hah.



Does the original FireRed have a Game Boy in the protagonist's room too? It's been too long for me to remember.



This was in the PC in my room. Very nice.



Don't challenge the Rocket boss and his strong P!



More grammar fun.



There was accessable grass right below Pallet Town that I was dumb enough to not screenshot. So I went in it for fun.



After reloading the ROM, I started up to Route 1, like normal. Little did I know, Team Rocket was probably waiting for me. Also note the different colored path. Yikes.

Now for the "new" starters.



Treecko.
I'm not an English major, but I don't think that's a word...



Guess the hacker got lazy about describing Totodile.



Sounds about right.

So I went with...



I really like grass types, and Sceptile is awesome.



Ash is a tree. TREEcko. I love my jokes.



So naturally, my rival picked Charmander. Obviously won the battle.

Off to Route 1, which had an extension from the original route. And not only that, but it had new Pokemon, such as...



Bidoof!



Caught it with a Pokeball from my PC. Anyway know what its nickname is a reference to?

[Noblejanobii]

Hm… is it a reference to "Rocky" Rocket the Squirrel?

[Bulbasaur]

Hm… is it a reference to "Rocky" Rocket the Squirrel?

Yes! I was afraid no one would get that because I forgot Bidoof was a beaver, LOL.

[Noblejanobii]

Yes! I was afraid no one would get that because I forgot Bidoof was a beaver, LOL.

Well it's close enough for me! I was trying to think which Rocky would make the most sense and Rocky the boxer and Rocky Horror Picture Show didn't make quite as much sense.

I never realized you were a fan! How long have you known about the show?

At least five-ish years.

Update 2.

Spoiler:

Starly was not eligible for a catch, but it really bothers me how it's completely off-centered.



10/10 would get head cut off by bad tree sprite again.



10/10 would walk through cliff again.

Made it to Viridian City, then was told by Mewquazabsol that I could make a catch at the grass in Pallet Town due to a "gift clause".

And I found...



Chikorita! Probably the last starter I'd want to add to my team.



Successfully caught, and named Jamie. It just seemed like a good name.

Went into my party and noticed two things...



Pickup on Bidoof!



Jamie had a berry!

Next, there was some grass in Viridian City in an extension right before the original town. In there, I found...




No puns again. :(

[Noblejanobii]

Hey you've got a decent team going so far. Zigzagoons can have pickup too so you might want to check for that. It's a super useful ability.

[Cleobel]

Your team is so cute, especially Jamie the Chikorita. <3
Good luck with your adventure!

It does have Pickup. There's a screenshot with it. XD

Good luck with your adventure!

Thanks!

3rd update...

Spoiler:

A very close call after a critical hit.



After leveling up, here is the beginning crew!



\\thy say
Who says that anymore?



\\the wor



If you go onto Route 2, there is an opening to the east with a loooong walkway that is parallel to Route 2 and Viridian Forest. I was surprised to find this at the end:



Am I in Pewter City?



Yes, a shortcut into Pewter City! However, I went through the forest like a man.



Caught a Weedle on Route 2.



There is actually an invisible block in front of me, next to the tree growing through the fence. 10/10 for optimization.



This was my forest catch; called him Matt.



The updated crew, after more training. Starting to wonder how much easier this nuzlocke will be with all the damn areas...




Bought some potions and antidotes before going off to the forest.




So is Celebi obtainable in this game? :o



I WISH THIS WAS MY FIRST ENCOUNTER.

[Cleobel]

So, I guess Vanessa will evolve soon!
Why do you wish Scyther was your first encounter? Do you have a Metal Coat? Can you trade Pokemon in this ROM? Are trades allowed in your Nuzlocke?

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Haha what is with the text in that game. xD

Nice a wild Chikorita! I really should try a ROM some day. The randomness makes it look really fun.
