My First Pokemon Nuzlocke

My First Pokemon Nuzlocke is a video posted on the MandJTV channel going over Michael's first Pokemon Nuzlocke (and also his first ever playthrough the uploaded to YouTube) in the game Pokemon: Platinum Version. It was uploaded on June 16, 2020.

Summary
The video begins with Michael explaining the viewers what a Nuzlocke is. He then goes over the rules to a Nuzlocke challenge, starting with the main rule, the being, if a Pokemon faints, it is considered dead and has to either be deposited in the PC or released, as it can no longer be used again. After that, he states some of the secondary rules that most, if not all, Nuzlocke challenges use, those being that the player can only catch the first Pokemon that they encounter in a particular area, they are obliged to give all of the Pokemon they catch a nickname, and if the player loses any battle, regardless on if they still have conscious Pokemon in the PC or not, then the challenge is over.

Michael then tells the viewers the background information centering the playthough challenge, such as when the challenge occurred and what was going on at the time for him. He explains that he started the Nuzlocke...

Michael begins the game and names his character Michael and his rival Poop (an acronym for "People Order Our Patties"). He picked Chimchar as his starter, both because he hadn't used it in a very long time and because he read some advice online telling him it was the best equipped for a Nuzlocke. Michael's first rival battle was an extremely close battle, with Chimchar getting the KO with only two HP left. He nicknamed it Ludacris due to the name being fun and it randomly popping into his head at the time. Michael's first encounter was a Bidoof, which he did not intend to use, but he nicknamed it Godsend anyways. His next encounter was a Starly at Lake Verity, which excited Michael since Staraptor is excellent. He nicknamed her Defcon. Later, on Route 202 Michael found a Shinx, and was happy to find her ability was Intimidate and not Rivalry. He named her Gigawatt. Michael progressed through Jubilife uneventfully, then found his encounter on Route 204, a Wurmple. His first rival battle was relatively
