I am going through literally every game in the mainline series nuzlocking everything. I barely remember anything from the other gens besides gen 6 and 7, so a lot of them are going to be semi-blind (I do do actual FULL blind nuzlockes every time a new game comes out though). I'm going to document difficulty, areas/trainers that have the most chance of fucking you over in each game and ranking each game in difficulty.
I'm gonna give the games a quick difficulty rating now just from memory so there's probably some switching around that can be done, but from what I can remember -
USUM >>> Platinum > SM >BW2 Challenge mode > HGSS = XY > BW > BW2 > Emerald > Fire Red
If some games aren't on the list, it's because I haven't played them. I never actually played gen 1 because I didn't have a gameboy back then, I'm currently playing through the actual gen 1 games now though so I'll be able to be more objective this time around.
