So there I was having fun doing a Nuzlocke in the Kalos region. Everything was fun and games until this fucking shitty bitch destroyed my nuzlocke team!!! I felt so bad about it that only three weeks later I decided to try a Pokémon Y Nuzlocke for the second time and SHE FUCKING KILLED MY TEAM AGAIN IN THAT AWFUL TWON WHAT THE FUCKKKKKK

TWO FUCKING LUCARIOS STOPPING ME TO BATTLE OUT OF NOWHERE IN GEOSENGE TOWN REEEEEEEE WHY NOT IN THE GYM?!?

It doesn't even make sense to battle a GYM battle outside a fucking GYM!!! I hate you GF!!!!

I give up. No more Pokémon Y Nuzlocke in my life.

X&Y are universally agreed upon as being the hardest mainline games to nuzlocke in the series.

If the EXP Share is off, anyway. I remember cruising along Route 16 before getting my shit pushed in by that Gardevoir/Alakazam double battle.

Exp. Share being on didn't help shit when it got real, though.

You're right, with exp share off it's much more of an ordeal, but I feel that even with exp share on, X and Y throws so many threatening encounters at you that it still edges the other games out in terms of difficulty.

XY themselves are easy, but they have a load of shit that will fuck up a Nuzlocke if you're not careful. Any of the few Mega Pokemon you run into, for example, will rape your ass if you don't happen to have anything that can deal with them.

I have nuzlocked every new game blind since gen 3. Naturally, I also went back and played the gens I didn't nuzlocke and did those too.
I now do the same blind nuzlocke thing with rom hack pokemon games too, so needless to say, I'm pretty experienced when it comes to nuzlocking games.

X&Y are, by far, the hardest games in the main series to nuzlocke. It's not even close.
What makes this especially hilarious is that X&Y are well known for being some of the easier games in terms of regular play.

So why are X&Y more difficult to nuzlocke?
Well, for starters the huge variety of pokemon available on each route can actually screw you over pretty damn hard.
I've legitimately had a run in which my starter was Fennekin and everything else I caught pre Grant was all normal and flying types, making Tyrunt a pain in the ass. That same run had EVERYTHING that I had caught up to that point be weak to either fighting or flying, which caused a wipe to Hawlucha (First failure I've had in a nuzlocke in a long long time).
Basically though, the point is that the sheer variety of pokemon you can catch can leave you with an imbalanced team which is very rare to happen in most of the other mainline games due to how pokemon are distributed.

Next, and most important, is the sheer amount of dangerous encounters that can easily catch you off guard. These encounters are so significant that I always remember them now. Something I can't say for many of the encounters in other games.

>Double Furfrou
>Machoke & Mr Mime
>Gardevoir & Alakazam
>Double Lucario
>Early Ace trainer with a moderately high level Kadabra
>Doublade trainer in frozen cavern
>Any Sawk / Hawlucha trainer
>Wobbuffet cave
>Any arena trap pokemon in general actually (This is more significant in this game considering just about every pokemon that has arena trap can be found at some point)
>Fucking Lysandre
>Siebold's DD'ing Gyarados

Those are the main offenders, but there's some other shit that can trip you up too.

I'm not a nuzlocke person but the logic put forth doesn't make a lot of sense. There's a lot of variety which causes your team to become too much the same type? What? I'm not sure if you're using the wrong words or what.

That much Pokémon being available can really screw you over when you can only get what you first see. Most of the times you have a bigger chance to get a valuable member for your team in the other Pokémon games but when in XY you get 6 shitty ones and only 1 good in most of the times it gets harder.

No, you read it right but misunderstood what that entails.
The abundance of pokemon on each route can mean that you can get screwed over by getting.

For example, in most other games, you go through the first 1-2 routes and usually pick up normal types for the most part, then you'll head into a forest/grassy type area and find some bug or grass type mons, the a mountain/cave to find rock and ground types.

Well in X&Y, the same thing happens of course, except they need to throw more pokemon into each area to fit them all in, and as such there's normal types that you usually wouldn't find at this stage being thrown there.

Like Route 6 which has a Sentret for example.

by getting yet another pokemon of the same type you already have*
I don't know why I randomly stopped mid sentence there.

That's true, but I feel like the type hurdle of B2/W2 in the first section can make it quite literally unwinnable if your encounters suck. Whereas if you know what's coming in X/Y you can still get around it with a little planning.

I guess I did the correct thing, then.
