Funny story, I wanted to get back to my Nuzlocke in
>>51159295, but it looks like my save file got corrupted and it defaulted back to the save state of me picking my starter, so... whoops?
I was thinking of doing an Emerald run but all the Dive and Surf shenanigans really kill my motivation to play the game. Does Ruby fix those issues somewhat?
>>51205467Well, Nuzlocking was made to make pokemon harder. If you're not prepared for some fights, it can be brutal.
like when my magnezone got fucking demolished because the enemy gardevoir traced magnet pull in a double battle and it got promptly fucked up by an earth power Falkner's level cap is level 13, so you can afford to grind your team up a bit. I'd probably also pick Cyndaquil instead of Chikorita since Cyndaquil is an incredible early-game carry and deals with Bugsy's terrifying Scyther.
>>51202397B/W for a first Nuzlocke can be a pretty tough challenge, but as long as you remember a few things you should be fine.
>Enemies have COVERAGE up the wazoo. Zebstrika has Flame Charge, Timburr gets Rock Throw, Druddigon gets Revenge, etc.>Lenora, Elesa and Clay are the scariest gym trainers. Do not go in without a plan because you're going to get demolished if you think you can just sweep with your starter.>Do not underestimate the Lillipup line, they hit incredibly hard and the double Herdier fight after Nimbasa Cheren can fuck you up.>You can get an Eviolite at the top of Castelia. In the last door to the right, you can talk to a scientist who will give you an Eviolite. It is an absolute LIFESAVER and I 100% recommend getting it since Unova mons evolve stupid late.>You can buy useful TMs like Light Screen, Reflect and Thunder Wave in Nimbasa.>Sigilyph are basically mini-bosses. Don't be afraid to sacrifice a pokemon and cut your losses when fighting one of those fuckers.Good luck, because Unova is really unforgiving.
