After failing at a few fire red and emerald nuzlocke’s, I’ve managed to get Leaf green nuzlocke finished! Here is my hall of fame. Now to figure out how to get more emulators on my steam deck so I can try other pokemon games other than fire red/leaf green and emerald

Infernape and samurott carried the entire game. sammorot on 6 hp soloed half of ghetsis team by itself. and the monkey still lives!!!

I think I'm ready for the elite 4 I'll send the results later and the pokemon that couldn't make it to this point here will always be remembered.

Yes I did it with only 5 total Pokemon. This includes HMs. Pokemon are sorted in order of usefulness. Sing with a bulky pokemon is op, especially with Generation 1 sleep mechanics. Beedrill underrated in Gen 1, cleans out Ericka, Sabrina, Koga, Lorelei, and most of the team rocket encounters. Literally the only issue is that sometimes he crits, which undoes your +6 attack. Charizard is lowkey cheeks, but dig being 100 bp is really broken. Seaking is there because I needed to surf, and a water type makes fire old dude, Giovani, Bruno and Lance free. Pidgeot is theoretically not needed, but I like being able to fly and it helps get rid of trash encounters for the rest of this series. I think I only used her to cheese with Sand-Attack.

And no, beating Red with only 5 Pokemon ever used with Hardcore Nuzlocke rules is not hard. I think you could theoretically get down to 3, which someone has probably done before. Generation 1 is buns easy. I have way too many rules, but more or less standard hardcore nuzlocke (first pokemon encountered on every route unless a repeat, level caps, no items, set mode, can only use same amount of pokemon as gym leader, etc.). In order to help my sanity, when i catch a pokemon, even if I never use it, it'll count for dupe clause on that specific game. Oh yeah, and no double team unless a Pokemon naturally learns it.

If it wasn't clear, every Pokemon that I use (i define 'use' as a) sent out in battle b) taught any move at all c) given/taken an item from) in one game, i can not use ever again. The only exceptions are that previously used pokemon can be hm slaves (they cannot under any circumstance be sent out in battle or given items like xp share to prevent other pokemon from over leveling), and I'm allowed to catch any pokemon i want for specific items, i just have to release them immediately after (like catching magnemite for magnets).

I'm not expecting Blue to really be any more difficult, I either get to start with a Bulbasaur or a Squirtle, which are both 1000x better than Charizard.

Hell of a scare to start off with, taking an Ice Beam metronome from the her Clefairy! Such a terrifying move. I lost my starter in a FireRed run once to Metronome using Sheer Cold.

So not only did I beat the Rom hack on hardcore Nuzlocke settings, I also figured out how to make the template, the hardest battle of the run had to be the kimono girls where I lost jolteon and my shiny dragonite, on to emerald I guess. I lost my last genlocke to the champ in emerald hopefully this time I can make it to platinum

This is based on how good they are

I only count comments

this is just for fun

I'm of the opinion as long as a Mon evolves from or into the needed type the whole line is valid. Since that mon doing so is a feature of that type.

I'd gently push back on Eevee since it's a strange case but I'm curious what the rest of the community thinks.

EDIT: And since I'm asking what do you think of split evos? I think especially for monolockes having a variety of every available Mon is more fun and interesting than simply locking oneself out of encounters for really no reason

I've nuzlocked a few difficulty hacks (Blaze Black 2 redux normal mode and renegade platinum), and i wanted to try some 3ds rom hacks. Which one would you guys say is closer to that realm of difficulty?

So... I normally make an exception for "shinies" but that's usually in the context of "I already had a catch for this route/area/location" and THEN found a shiny"... so... what IF the first "encounter" itself was a shiny? does that count as the one valid encounter for the purpose of a "catch"? Like... I know that there's no rule "set in stone" but I DO* care about hearing the general consensus... or more specifically, their reasoning 😅

Tyranitar is an unethical Pokemon.

Does anybody know if the hall of fame glitch is fixed in the 2.0 version. If not does openemu have an issue with this rom when it comes to the hall of fame glitch?

About to challenge the first gym in pearl. Complete randomizer, good team composition, did miss out on a moltres but we move

My Vaporeon, Lilligant and Eelektross did NOT get back up and they were NOT ok

Any tips for a first time Hardcore Nuzlocke, never played in set mode and had to not use items before. I say this because of trainers that randomly catch you off guard I tried a BW2 one and got destroyed by Triple Biker Hiker or whatever.

I’ve literally just started now at : darkosisbad (YT)

Types, abilities, movesets and wild/trainer Pokémon, of these, randomized movesets is definitely the hardest in my opinion. This run has all four.

Red and Blue complete, on to Yellow!
(First 2 times completng these games btw!)

Really been enjoying this nuzlocke. Right now I'm grinding up my tentacool before the rival battle. My rules have been: Set mode, No time skips, No rare candies, No Items used in battle, and permadeath. Also, I must nickname all of the mons, and can only catch one per route. So far I've only lost my shedinja to poison damage by a gulpin who used smog while switch training she's cool here's a pic

Hello!
So, i am playing through Pokemon Platinum for the first time, and i was intessed on doing it as a Monolocke, i beaten HeartGold as a Mono-Poison challenge, and although it was fun, i found it way too easy, since it was not a monolocke/nuzlocke, just using Poison mons but everything else was normal, so it got boring really fast.
I decided on doing Platinum as a mono-flying types, since i never really use flying types, and then amidst the process i thought about doing it as a hardcore nuzlocke as well, since i was afraid that only monolocke would not be hard enough. I decided to allow me three "blind graces", since i am playing the game for the first time, i made this clause so if i got surprised by a coverage move/unusual mons etcetera (ex: Lucaraio with Ice Punch, random trainer with mons at the same level as the gym leader, etc), so i had three "get out of jail" free cards, letting me reload my save before the battle took place and redo it having the knowledge about the opponent.
I burnt through all of my graces, and now i am about to face off against the Ice type gym, and i am really worrioed that this might be where my run ends.
I wanted some recomendations on good movesets to have on Togekiss and on Gyarados, since both are pokemons that i am not used to creating normally.

Tks in advance!!!
I would really be thrilled if i could make it on my first attempt, having a blast playing like this until now.
