Anniversary Update: 19 XI 2023

on 19.11.2023 at 10:09 AM

Eleven years and over 440 pages… The road’s been somewhat rocky, yet Yonkoma Nuzlocke is still ongoing. So many characters, so many plot twists (here, have another), so many battles, so many jokes, so many sub-plots, so much foreshadowing, so much shipshipping, so much Daisy chaos, so many Pokémon (mostly Rattata), so much elemental theory and so many four badges. At times even a reader or two.

And with this here update, we’re ending the takoma three-parter on a really fun note. Chapter XIII itself is not done quite yet though, so look forward to some classic four-panel goodness next time: November 30th.

Don’t forget to comment if you care and follow if you fancy!

Update: 01 XI 2023

Yet again I prove myself the true master of plot-twists by revealing I’m not dead and neither is Yonkoma Nuzlocke. I’m back to drawing and I even made sure to finish the final page of the three-parter before uploading this here second one. I’m currently drawing ahead, so I’m glad to announce the next update will take place on November 19th – that is, on the 11th anniversary of Yonkoma Nuzlocke. Afterwards I should hopefully be able to announce a proper schedule of some kind. I still wish to return to the good old “four-strips-per-week-except-with-weekly-breaks-before-and-after-every-takoma” schedule, but it remains to be seen how realistic that is.

And yes, I missed Yonkoma Nuzlocke’s big 10-year anniversary. At least Game Freak didn’t forget and they released Scarlet and Violet just one day earlier to commemorate the occasion. They tend to do that, as you know from all the “nobody cares, everyone’s playing [insert new games]” jokes. Big fans, what can I say.

Anyway, go ahead and click that picture to discover… the truth, at last!

Update: 4 VI 2022 (GEN IX SPOILERS)

Remember when I said I’m gonna upload whatever I have ready on the fourth of every month? Yeah, I meant it… But I also meant it when I said I’m in a middle of a three-parter of time-consuming takoma pages. So for now, just have a little special relating to the incoming Generation IX. Spoilers ahead.

Update: 1 V 2022 [+new schedule]

on 01.05.2022 at 9:51 PM

So the moment I get back to working on this page, my PC breaks down and the moment I get it fixed, I finally get a mild case of the covids. But here it is at last, the first page of the Saffron City three-parter.

So what, you might ask, are we gonna have to wait another year or two for the next page? Luckily, the answer is no. I have decided that the new schedule is going to be supremely simple – from now on, Yonkoma Nuzlocke will feature monthly updates. To be specific, new pages will come on the fourth day of every month, with additional updates on November 19th (anniversary update) and December 24th (Christmas special). Also, the January update will instead take place on December 31st. Some of you might remember the old tradition of YN having one final update on the final day of the year.

As far as the actual size of the updates is concerned… That’s going to vary. I’m basically going to upload whatever I have at the moment, whether it’s a lot or just a little. I do hope to make four strips the absolute minimum though.

Thanks for being patient with me. Hope you enjoy what’s coming. This chapter is actually gonna feature a lot of fun surprises, which makes it all the more of a shame how abysmal the speed of it has been.
