Story/Playthrough Idea: The Ruby Emperor (Pokémon Ruby 'Groudonlocke')

Hiya followers! ^_^ I've been thinking of doing a 'Nuzlocke' style run of Pokémon Ruby and this is the proposition I came up with. The rules/objectives in mind for my set are:

-Defeat the Emperor and become Ruler of Hoenn (Pokémon League)

-Groudon must be kept alive. If Groudon dies, the run is over.

-The playthrough has a 'medieval' Japan style theme to it and as such, there are no such things as trainers (The strongest Pokémon of a trainer is considered a 'chieftain' of a tribe, gyms are referred to as castles and their strongest Pokémon is considered that castle's 'Daimyo', Team Magma's Pokémon are part of the 'Golden Hoard' and Steven's Metagross is the Emperor of Hoenn), Pokémon Centres are called Inns and Pokemarts are called Markets.

-Upon defeating each 'Daimyo', the Daimyo or one of the castle's Pokémon may be 'hired' into the team.

-The standard Groudon in the Cave of Origin must be killed, because having two Groudons in one timeline is pretty bad news.

-Otherwise, the other golden rule of Nuzlocke stands: The only Pokémon apart from Pokémon gained by defeating a Daimyo must be the first Pokémon found on a route of that species.

If there's enough interest, 'The Ruby Emperor' will be occasionally posted on the blog as I progress through the challenge. Like this idea if you want to see me suffer.

The Vantastic case of the name Vantas

Heh okay, lemme share another 3 in the morning thought.

Karkat Vantas. We all know the name. Karkat. The Kar and the Kat. But what about the Vantas?

Well, lemme explain a thing to you. That thing being just how exactly the Mutants (didnt) came to thier last name.

It all starts with Kankris ancestor. Which is Karkat, but the assholes grown up and ruling Beforus now. You know, the guy wasnt raised by a Lusus, or another troll, nope. He raised himself. Guy called himself Ruby. Just Ruby. Nothing else NOPE.

It wasnt unil his friends came into play that he got a last name.

Thing is, its a fucking inside joke.

They would always (jokingly) praise Ruby for his fantastic ass. Which the mutant very much hated because it made him blush and blushing it BAD.

He would rant at them (though it would be nowhere near as bad as Kankris rants) and then storm off with a bright red face.

So, to avoid the future ruler of Beforus running away everytime, they slowly disorted and shortened the phrase fantastic ass, over vantasticas, to vantas.

So they just started shouting Vantas at him everytime he passed by. Not realising that they were still praising his well shaped booty, he thouth that they had thought up a last name for him.

And so, the name Vantas came to be.

And now, everytime someone calls Karkat, Ruby, Kankri or Signless by thier last name, they are actully calling out thier Fantastic asses.

Thats it for this history lesson. Please continue scrolling down your dash like that cool blogger you are.
