From what I understand of what's been said so far, yes, you have to restart.

Well, the traditional definition of trolling is pretty much along the lines of doing stuff (eg. provoking others), to extract some kind of response out of them (rage, or surprise, or whatever), to your own amusement. Imagine fishing, and you're the fisherman.

Though from what I see these days, anyone who pretty much disagrees with you is being (incorrectly) labeled as a troll.

Anyway, this "Nuzlocke Run" is almost like willingly doing something to the result of making yourself rage sometime in the future, in that sense, it's pretty much like trolling yourself.

The difference being, that if you actually do succeed, you get some sense of achievement at the end I guess. But he failed...

If that's not trolling himself, I don't know what is.

Challenging himself?

yea, challenging himself.

You can't have a challenge if there's no risk of failure...

I would consider it trolling myself anyway (even if I succeed in the end), if it were me doing it.

Losing it all because of something which only had 10% chance to happen; such is life in the Hoenn region.

Anyway, a small update today; I opted to spend time trying to take a tank and most of it's infantry escort alive. I still have not suceeded with the tank, I'm afraid. (Bonus points if you can guess what game, and are not Grey Ghost)

Spoiler for Part Ten:

On a somewhat unrelated note, I'm making an RPG game, and I need more people which can be recruited to the player's party. (total of 9 recruitable people, only two are given by default.) So, if you guys want to volunteer a character, feel free.
Just need a name, and a general job title (e.g. "Priest", or perhaps "Detective"). You can include a weapon preference (guns, swords, magic, unarmed) if you want, or I'll just pick one based on what someone with [job title] would maybe know.

Alright, so work was a shade busier than expected.
Anywho, part 2 of part 10... perhaps I will call this Part X-2, yes.
