>>18617453>>18617426Yeah sadly Pokemon is one of those games that you have to go out of your way to make difficult. I wish it was harder by default but oh well.
I've been trying the following:
>pre-evos only (and SOME weaker single stage no-evo mons)>SET battle style>no exp share (unless grinding gets too tedious)>limited number of healing items in your bag at any given time>no healing during battle>must save at start of a gym and if you lose you have to reset to last saveAnd as of X/Y - no using Poke Centers. Have to use Cafes and other means of healing. But can't talk to those random people who heal you (girl on victory road, girl outside the cave with rhydon, etc)
And yeah Nuzlocke is all well and good but I prefer to actually keep my save file. The above is the sort of thing I do for my regular "gonna keep this file forever" style of play.
