Sinnoh Must Die!

A Pokémon Platinum Nuzlocke Comic by Skelvetica

[sinnohmustdie]

New cover by my super talented friend, @dizzydookz!

Start reading >>

“Leo, an alien from Planet Elgaria, dreams of proving his worth. After crash-landing into Sinnoh, he eventually devises a plan: to conquer the region’s Pokémon League and pave the way for a total Elgarian takeover. Accompanied by his clone, Cosmo, he brutally murders a man and assumes his identity. Unfortunately for Leo, trainer Dawn is able to see right through his flimsy disguises, and will stop at nothing to protect her home. But with her reputation as a crazy conspiracy theorist, nobody seems to want to help her.”

After months of struggling to get this page out because Reasons™, then having to line sketches that were drawn before my art randomly improved but not wanting to redraw it because that would mean more delays when I've really, REALLY been wanting to get to the scene that comes afterwards because Reasons™, I had an epiphany: I could just. Not draw it. ... Where's my applause?! But seriously, I almost cried tears of joy when I realised this. Never be afraid to kill your darlings. Or brutally murder them in this case. Anyway, since the sketch was done, I'll show what could have been Prologue, Page 7. I'm hoping to get the actual page out in time for Leo's birthday (July 23) but then again, ArtFight is a thing. By the way, you should check out my ArtFight.

Author's notes:

Consider this scene semi-canon. In the actual page 7 it'll just cut to Leo drenched in blood outside the store.

I thought it would be funny if Leo's disguise was a Turtwig, but instead of the twig he just had an emptied pot plant on his head. In hindsight, it doesn't really make sense for Leo to know what a Turtwig is.

The reason Lucas looks like that is because I thought the discrepancy between him and Leo was funny.

Have you ever laughed so hard that you turned into a sketch?

Oh Leo, how I've missed you and your unnecessary panty shots.

Sinnoh Must Die! somehow made it in the running for the Best New Nuzlocke of 2025 in this year's Nuzlocke Extravaganza, so I thought it'd be funny if I made a shitpost for it. Go vote for your favourite runs here!

I call this one "the page I cut so many corners on, the panels should've been circular, and if you're wondering why that's the case, it's because it's been in my files since April 2025". The title didn't fit though, so I had to call it "My Dad Malamar" instead!

I pulled an all-nighter to finish this page in time. My favourite characters are finally here. I can die in peace. SERIOUSLY THESE SKETCHES ARE FROM WHEN I WENT TO SEE "A MINECRAFT MOVIE" WITH MY FRIEND. I COULD'VE HAD IT DONE EARLIER BUT INSTEAD IT STAYED AT THE BACK OF MY HEAD. KEEPING THE BERLITZ FAMILY A SECRET FOR THIS LONG ROTTED ME INSIDE. Anyway meet Dawn! I had to split this page in two because it was so long and I was getting tired of not having Dawn and her dad introduced yet :/

We are so fucking back! After 4 months. You now know a fraction of Leo's pain. I got too sucked into learning how to make plushies that I stopped drawing, and it shows.

In case it wasn't obvious, Cosmo is a shapeshifter. And yes, the Elgarians use ze/zim pronouns. A little on the nose, innit?

I'm not sure what else to say, but I'll see you guys soon. Hopefully not in 4 months.

Edit (8/01/2026): Leo's spaceship has been renamed since it was bothering me for a long time.

Happy Elgyem Day! Clearly I can't be trusted with sticking to release dates, but oh well. Meet Leo. He's a terrible person, but I hope he's at least amusing to watch.

And yes, I did invent a fake alien language for this comic. No, I won't decipher it.

"Dawn's special day is ruined after her father fails to provide company for her. Oh, an alien also invades her hometown, horrifically murders her ex-boyfriend, then takes his identity for himself."

I know I said this was meant to come out last December, but a lot of big changes happened in my life. I'll try to keep it brief: I moved out of my abusive household with no adulting skills, I started a second job in assisted living; I started working out; I made more friends; I'm attempting to go to school again and I'm trying to make more healthy changes in my life.

Despite this, I am still unhappy. Page 1 of the prologue will finally be released on May 5, 2025!
