>>748611272>No starterWhat a loser.
>>748611528Stupid double gay bitch
>>748611528>got swept by the chomp in 2026kek how do did you not make a plan for it at least?
anon if you're gonna nuzlocke you have to either be a turboautist that plans literally every single move or you gotta overlevelrest in pieces then try again
I always have the most fun with randomized nuzlockesSure they can give you some retarded bullshit such as encountering a level 7 legendary in the early game or a late gym leader having two caterpies, but everything being unexpected is cool
It's okay OPYou got pretty far
>>748611528abaminable samsquantch lost to a fucking fishy
>>748611607Your mons can't be higher level than the next leader's highest level mon or sum shiiee idk
>>748611891if you're not playing a romhack that enforces that and you're not a tryhard then it's not a real rule and you can ignore it
Anyone else think arin purposefully threw the match? Between him literally saying g what he is going to do right before fucking up on "accident" and dan being entirely disengaged with these weird statements that denote displeasure I feel like this playthrough was pretty assWhy the fuck did dan blow up at arin over sponsoring some card gamer?>yeah you give him half your salary?>yeah sure dan has a Christmas bonus he doesn't even need
>>748611272>No weavileNope, you are fucked.
>>748611983Literally who? Honest question.
>>748611272>not bringing multiple water pokemon (best type in the game)>bringing girafarig and abomasnow of all shittersyou deserve to lose
>>748612124Game grumpsOP posted his "nuzlocke" team which just ended
>>748612212To be fair the person playing was a retard and this is all they could scrape together
>>748612687>Game grumpsThat's still a thing?
>>748612818They make more money now than ever and unless its a long form shovelware PC game sometimes they're as funny as they used to be
game grumps
>Stealth e-celeb gossip threadLiterally /vt/ranny slop but somehow ever gayer.>>>/trash/
nuzlockes are kinda mid fr fr
>>748611950levelcaps is one of those rules that's basically required for nuzlockes to be any degree of fun, same with battle items and set format
>>748611528>not just using ice shardkek rofl faggot retard
>>748613057Most these youtubers use rare candies too, which would trivialize the challenge as long as you arent retarded, I feel no reason to watch any of this crap because of it>>748613097tbf, it probably wouldnt kill, especially if it comes from trash like Abomasnow
>>748613137Personally I just don't see the point in rushing a pokemon game, that's why I don't get nuzlockes or people complaining about level curves and all that. It's a turn based RPG, take your time. Nobody gives a fuck if you beat pokemon with a bunch of made up challenges
Any apparent challenge or even inconvenience of nuzlockes are instantly shattered when you realize you can just pick a water starter and fight with nothing by it, getting it overleveled and trivializing the entire game.Pokemon singleplayer is a joke, all things considered.
>>748613285>Nobody gives a fuck if you beat pokemon with a bunch of made up challengesAnd nobody besides attention-thirsty streamers does it for recognition and approval from strangers. It's just a cool way to enjoy a pokemon game if you fancy a slightly bigger challenge
>>748613285>NNOOOOOOOOOO STOP HAVING FUN
I have been playing a nuzloc with level caps for like 2 months now on and off on my phone (Heart gold version).Leveling pokemon after one dies is really really really lame, but other then that I would say it's the only way to have fun with Pokemon as an adult. Got 2 more badges to go then the elite four again then 16 gyme rematches then finally red himself.
>>748611272Ask>>>/vp/
>>748613289All nuzlocks assume you are using level caps retard.
>>748613641why would a normal person need to know that minutia, retard
I did a black 1 nuzlocke a while back. Ended up dying to the final bosses last mon. I was so pissed.
>>748613752Why did your ass show up to a thread you know next to nothing about and start running your mouth like you knew something? You took the grain of knowledge you had on the subject, and started making claims like you had a doctorate. That makes you: a retard
>>748613641The sole two original rules were permadeath on fainting and you're only allowed to potentially capture the first mon encountered in each area. Every other restriction is a later addition by other people. Just saying "nuzlocke" doesn't tell me anything about which extras a person chooses.Stupid faggot.
>>748613641>All nuzlocks assumeNuzlockes don't assume jack shit unless you're playing a romhack designed around specific rules. The only two mandator rules are dead pokemon stay dead and you only get to catch the first encounter in a new route. That's literally it. Everything else is for you to do whatever you want with it.
>>748613137>>748613285People use rare candies for difficulty romhacks because those usually expect you to keep your entire box on the level curve.
pokemon requiring 15 different handicaps to be interesting shows how crappy the games are.
>>748614467Doesn't leveling up exclusively with candies result in terrible stat growth?
>>748614528these are games meant to be beaten by 6 year olds, of course they're piss easy if you don't make them harder through rulesmaybe someone should make pokemon but for real gamers
>>748614603No but you will miss out on EVs (i.e. stat bonuses you get from defeating pokemon). Those are often disabled from both the player and opponent in difficulty romhacks.
>>748614603Yes but only your ev stat growth, however you can level up normally like 3 times and it will catch you up to where you are supposed to be.
Nuzlocking the new released blind was the most fun I've had with pokemon by far, but SV was basically un-nuzlockable. I hope they go back to linear games, but I know that will never happen.
I still play pokemon with the ability to switch pokemon after you defeat one kek.I don't see the point of making it harder than it needs to be for myself.
>>748614378I'd honestly say forced nicknames are more important than first encounter onlyI think first encounter only contributes more to nuzlocke enjoyment since it forces you to use what you get, but forcing nicknames is really that powerful for making you get attached to your guys
Can the harder romhacks ever compare to a fun nuzlocke run?
I like city names
>>748615235>Saitama>wait why is OPM there>Saitama is an actual city in Japanhuh, well then
