tl;dr Crystal, Emerald, or HG/SS?
Currently playing a non-Nuzlocke FireRed game (hang on, stay with me here). The following tweaks:
>randomized trainer pokemon
>randomized TMs and compatibility
>randomized overworld items
>trainer pokemon leveled +15%
Because I've replayed these games so many times, randomized trainers are necessary to keep me on my toes. And I love the randomized TMs and compatibility because it lets me use these superbly fun movesets that may be technically impossible otherwise. I didn't randomize the wild Pokemon because I had a specific team in mind.
But now as this journey comes to a close, as satisfying as it was, it always felt a little hollow how there wasn't any meaningful consequence for failure. So that's why I'm interested in trying a Nuzlocke next. It's been a long time since I last tried one, several years I think.
I'm in a mood lately where I've really been appreciating the simplicity of the times before the physical/special split. Should I play Crystal as the "sequel" to my Kanto adventure, or new territory in Emerald? Or is HG or SS a more rewarding Nuzlocke experience?
I'll also probably be randomizing the wild Pokemon in this new one, too, or at the very least the starter, because seriously there's a real thrill to that luck of the draw.
