Should I or should I not randomize trainers' Pokemon when I do a randomizer run on a hardcore nuzlocke rule set (no battle items, level caps, set mode)? The settings I've been using so far in picrel.
I like running in blind, but being the anxious mf I am, I think that would be a killjoy. I would always try to optimize the starting 6 to a fault and be gravitated towards objectively better mons, since they would have a better chance surviving the inevitable 'Chomps, 'Mences and the likes. I remember being autistic about ensuring that my lead can deal with all the Shadow Tag or Arena Trap bullshit.
I think I need a way to force myself to try more gimmicky/underrepresented/"fun" stuffs, either by making the game somewhat easier or force some kinds of limitation on teambuilding.
