The game itself is no longer the only source of bad omens for this Nuzlocke run. The only GBA SP/NDS charger that we can find in this household seems to have just up and stopped working properly--I'd been having problems before with the SP charging, so I tested it with my DS to see if that's where the problem was. Seriously, how could we end up with no chargers? I had the SP, both my sister and I had DSes, and I actually had to get a second one because I lost my first. This means that I have pretty much no method to play GBA games at the moment (or at least, not for very long). Of course, this isn't a GBA game...
Yeah. Until I get a working charger, I'm going to be attempting to continue this on my battered old GBC. The one that's missing its battery case cover. Uh...
Wait, never mind. I have a better idea. My N64 works just fine, so for the continuation of this Nuzlocke, I'll grab my copy of Pokémon Stadium and play it on Game Boy Tower. Perfect.
Anyway, nothing much to report before I noticed that my SP hadn't charged as expected. Dante and Edwards each leveled up once.
Okay, scratch all that. I'm just incompetent. I tried plugging the charger into a different outlet, and it started working. Since the outlet I'd had it in was on a power strip and other devices on the power strip had been charging properly, I tried that outlet again...and it worked. So the only possible explanation is that I had plugged it in improperly, and apparently failed to notice...and somehow was able to figure it out while under the influence of alcohol (only one drink, but I'm so slightly built that one drink is all it takes for me to start getting tipsy.) Still, the fact that it's uncharged means I won't be continuing the training tonight, so we'll pick this up tomorrow.
