Never once did Nuzlocke throw a bunch of repels down so he could make it to the side of the cave he wanted to get to so that he might have a chance to catch the Pokemon he wanted to use.
You're not trying to catch the Pokemon you WANT to use. You're catching the Pokemon fate, or the RNG, gives you. And you say THANK YOU, I CAN MAKE THIS WORK.
Hell, most of the pussies here pat themselves on the back for using a bullshit version of the "dupes" clause to allow them to not suffer after running into two Zubats. Based on the already low community standard, you'll end up with a varied team.
You'll just be using a Dewgong instead of an Articuno, and you know what, you're gonna end up loving that Dewgong, and it's going to bounce a few spots ahead on the "favorite ice Pokemon" list because you gave it a shot, instead of gaming the fucking system to catch an Articuno that we all know you've fucking played around with before.
That's the point. Making the best out of what you have and making new friends in the process.
I'm fucking in love with this Chimecho I have, and I've NEVER liked them before. Turns out it's not half bad.
