I'm afraid I don't know who that is. Is he a wrestler (Google search turned up this)
Yes. Sometimes referred to as "The Game".
I see. Well, I can assure you that our character is not a 30 year regressed transgender person. At least, I hope not...

Bah I was gonna do this! :) Ah well, hope you'll be using a team of rarely-used/not fully evolved mons. Don't grind too much either, if you have a level 50 starter by the first gym I don't need to read your updates to know what's gonna happen.

As for your name/starter I'd say a female character named Kesla with the grass starter whose name I can't remember called Smogon.

I feel Nuzlocke takes some of the fun out of the game, to be honest. You lose a pokemon forever due to a small mistake. Oh well.
They can be pretty fun to play but they'd make a boring as hell Let's Play. "Oh no half my team died in the fight against this gym leader! Coming next week - an update where I do nothing but grind levels to recover the team I already had in the first place!"

I won't be overly grinding, no. But I will be training up my pokemans.

I'd say that there's also a huge problem with Team Magma/Aqua as the central enemy. But I'll get into that later.

So far, it appears that most people want a female character, and short of a large swing, that's what I'll be doing.

I also like the name "Raven" so far.

Oh, and I agree about the Nuzlocke thing. It doesn't sound like something good for a LP. I may replay silver doing one some time. But that's neither here nor there.

For the name I would personally suggest "Ana Lee" (say it fast) for a joke name, "Leandra" for a serious name. if you're set on the female trainer.

Probably because of RedChocobo's LPs.

You gotta be kidding me....

I DID THE EXACT FREAKING THING! No joke.

Raven is a good name, I think It sounds rather pretentious. By the way, which do you vote for: male or female?
Female.
Perhaps the world will end in a fiery volcanic cataclysm because some crazy lady had raging PMS the day she decided to walk her pet Groundon.

Also, did you forget to involve Sea Incense when you were breeding your mice?
I just thought it had a low percentage or such back when I first played Ruby. I didn't know you couldn't get Azurills from breeding unless you had Sea Incense equipped until I was something like 9 generations into the inbreeding.
You know, I think I looked up a guide. Back in silver, I kept a ledger of Pokemon I bread. All the inbreeding got a little creepy. Just a little.

make your character a guy and name him fuck me
Sorry, but that's against one of the rules.
i got that from zero punctuation
I'm well aware.

I saw the one for Pokemon Red. But that's it.

They're well worth a look, they're some of the best LPs I've ever seen. All of the ones except his Platinum one are available on the lparchive if you don't have a Something Awful account.

I'll save that for after this LP, when I (Hopefully) move on to NWN2, because I don't want to subcontinental steal jokes without thinking about it.

How about we name him Yamcha? Or Caesar? Or even Roberto?
Caesar is an interesting name. However, I think the consensus is that we're going for a female. Still, I think I should name a pokemon that somewhere along the line

What about a very obscure name like Xander or Baltar?
[small]Sorry about the character names, but we need some references![/small]

Like I said, a very obscure reference. Xander is a Buffy reference and Baltar is a Battlestar Galactica reference.
If we need a pokemon reference, I'd suggest a name like Emerald or Ruby! Something from the original trainer's name.

I still like the name "Raven" a lot. Perhaps it's because I love the horrid fanfiction "My Immortal" but it's just resonating with me well.

Yeah, a Teen Titans thing will be nice! i don't know much about My Immortal, but I hear that it's the worst(and unintentionally) the funniest fan fic ever! I'm gonna check it out.

Bennett the Sage did a reading of it. That's what I'd recommend.

So is everyone alright with Mudkip as a starter?

Mudkip is perfect! Only one weakness: Grass! S/he can learn all sorts of moves like Hammer Arm and Muddy Water. Ignore the damn Torchick and Treecko!

mudkip is the best(3rd gen and on) starter. I remember choosing mudkip on my first play of saphire and I never regretted it. and I would recommend naming your rival krillin
