    Pok�mon Nuzlocke runs

    Anybody else do Nuzlocke runs? I�ve been hitting the older games using an emulator on my phone using Nuzlocke rules aka releasing a Pok�mon when it faints, only catching your first encounter on each route/cave etc.

    At the moment, I�m playing an Emerald Randomiser that randomises your team before EVERY single battle. Meaning you can have a team full of legends one fight and the very next fight you can have a team of Magikarps. It�s extremely fun and requires a huge variety of strategies.

    Yes! I've done 18 runs total across every gen (except Gen 8). That's the only way i play Pokemon games is through nuzlocking.

    I feel like Nuzlocke�s have kinda ruined the franchise for me now. I was trying to do a USUM playthrough and catching everything I could but it just got so boring so quickly. The new games are way too easy. I miss the Black2/white2 days when you had the Challenge Mode. That was a great Nuzlocke.

    Yeah, White 2 challenge mode nuzlocke was my final one for the time being; ended with a full team, each member representing each region at least once. I haven't looked at Gen 8 cause I can't bring all my teams up thanks to Dexit. And I don't know what rules have been established for handling the changes to encountering in the games.

    I miss the old way encounters worked, it was really a surprise. I dislike overworld encounters.

    I haven�t even bought a switch yet. Was going to when Gen8 came out but really disliked Dexit and the whole Gigantamax business so I ended up putting it on the back burner.

    Now that PS5 is only a few months away a switch will probably get pushed back again. All because Gamefreak�s crappiness.

    I�m contemplating starting another Nuzlocke generations run but making it an Ice Type Mono run. A lot of weaknesses for ice types so I think it could be interesting.

    I love nuzlocke runs! They can be so depressing though. I've been doing mainly randomized starters/encounter runs. Having trouble getting some of the DS games randomized and running on roms (I keep having them crash).

    Are you patching them yourself or using prepatched ones?

    I really only do Nuzlocke runs anymore, the added challenge has spoiled regular Pokemon for me. Could you post a link to or the name of the Emerald rom you're playing? That sounds really fun.

    I used the randomizer to patch them, I think the main issue is that I can't find stable roms though, as they crash normally as well. I think black/white were ones I had bad luck with if I recall correctly.

    @(you need an account to see links) (you need an account to see links)

    I'm assuming i'm allowed to post links, if not, I'll PM it to you.
    @(you need an account to see links) you should try SacredGold mod rom as a Nuzlocke. It's a completely revamped version of HeartGold and as a nuzlocke it's been extremely difficult. I play with levels capped at the next Gym Leaders Ace Pokemon and I cannot for the life of me finish this one.
