>>25354081You don't have to do a Nuzlocke for the games to be challenging. Just add rules like no healing items in battle, level cap for gym leaders, etc. It's what I did for AS when it first came out, and it made the game many times harder.
Since I feel the purpose of these re-releases is to feel nostalgia and have fun playing them like you used to, I wouldn't do a Nuzlocke for the very first run. Add a few rules to make it more challenging, but sit back, have fun and enjoy. There's no need for the stress that comes with playing a Nuzlocke.
