You’ve finally come of age. Today is your big day because it is the start of your journey as a Pokemon Trainer. You have to navigate through your house before you are able to get to the Professor’s house where you can finally get your first Pokemon! But wait, your childhood rival challenges you to battle with Pokemon! Can you win or will you ending up risking the life of your dear, new friend? Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that you are taking part in a Nuzlocke? So, if you lose, your Pokemon loses their life.
How did you like this piece of interactive fiction? Were you able to keep your Pokemon alive? If not, that is fine. I just enjoy creating these kind of stories since I’ve created them in the courses Electronic Literature and Games and Culture. On to the story itself, I decided to create a story involving Pokemon , but I wanted to combine the famous special set of rules called The Nuzlocke to give the story some more impact. The Nuzlocke is a special set of rules added to Pokemon games to make them bit more challenging. When playing the Pokemon games with the Nuzlocke rules, when your Pokemon faints in battle, they are considered dead.
To create this three and half star assignment, I personally used Twine 1.4.1 that I already had on my computer for awhile now. There is a newer web based version that is easier to use if you want to try that out.
I used a bit more complicated coding to create this story, but to show you some of the basics, I created two “choices” and made them connect to other “Passages” by giving that Passage the Title of a choice. An example is shown below with what happens when you choose “Girl”.
I hope you guys enjoyed this short interactive fiction!
