What does /vp/ think of Nuzlocke runs? Ultimate test of skill? Fun? Lame?

Very fun, doing one of Sun right now. Haven't gotten very far, but I'm already using Pokemon I normally wouldn't.

I think they are fun but I have one major question. I know you can only catch one Pokemon per route but what about the different areas of the safari zone?

I go with just the first one you see in the whole area. Since that was what was implied in the web comic

Depends on the person doing the Nuzlocke. I do only the first encounter I get in the entire zone, but some people do each area.

The creator purposely had Pokemon faint instead of die so that players wouldn't equate losing with death. Nuzlocke throws that out the window.

sometimes they can be fun, but most of the time i end up with shitters i don't like and/or have already used before in another game

lately i just catch whatever looks interesting, i like using new and different pokemon whenever i play through a game anyway

How does that go against the creator's wishes though? His main wish was most likely for the players to enjoy themselves, and the point of a Nuzlocke is to enjoy a game more by making it more challenging.

Nuzlocke is playing the game in a way the creator didn't want.

Yes?
It forces you to, even against your wish. If you dislike thinking they're dead, you and I both know that isn't the case. You just simply release them after one faints. This is the most effective method to use a great number of Pokemon, but also keeping a team of only 6 Pokemon.

not that anon, i am all for nuzlockes, but i personally go out of my way to use pokemon i normally dislike or ignored previously when i do a replay of a game, specifically to see if i can learn to love them. it's not that hard to do.

Good, then. You're an autist. Most people like using Pokemon they like, not the opposite. You can use Nuzlocke's to increase difficulty.

Too easy, I end up with like 20 pokemon in my box and only maybe 1 or 2 dead. I've toyed with different rules like no Pokemon centers or No items but i still can't seem to find a difficulty that's just hard enough.

The creator wanted to make money, they could probably give fewer fucks about how you play the game as long as you buy it. I don't care for Nuzlocke either but this is just autism.

Lame.

They inevitably become grindfests. If you don't grind and don't go out of your way to gain levels, you'll inevitably get screwed over at some point. It only takes one bad instance of RNG to destroy your run.

Skill has nothing to do with it. If you're willing to grind for five extra levels before a gym leader, you won't lose. It's a challenge in the loosest sense of the word.

Difference is, Sushi can be tried in a second. A Pokemon takes much longer to try. You can't use something in one battle and pretend to know everything about it.
Surprise, not everyone likes wasting time raising Pokemon they don't like.

I think it's great for people to play the game how they want to play it. What I don't understand is the popularity and the need to share your nuzlocke and follow others. I guess I'm just not an online sharing kind of person and using language like "unexpected bro" and "epic critical" doesn't suit my play style. It doesn't appeal to me but if people are having fun that's all that matters.

I don't get the point. If you want to use different pokemon its more effective to play normally and if you want a challenge a low level run better forces you to try different strats and movesets. Maybe its a thing for roleplayer.

I've never gotten far into a Nuzlocke run without giving into pressure and cheating whenever a mon I liked died. So I just have a single question, how do runs work when you eventually fight the Box Legendary like Groudon? Do you kill it or try to capture and maintain the perma-death rules?

Usually I kill it just because I personally avoid using legendaries, especially during Nuzlockes. Depending on the legendary, it can be a mini boss.
