>>36816973I never use items in battle, let alone in a nuzlocke
they were pretty bloody, definitely the games with the most deaths because coming out of fights like totem lurantis without at least one pokemon being KO'd is tough
lots of people tell me these games are difficult to replay because of all the cutscenes, and it is kinda boring on my 2nd or 3rd playthrough, but the totem and grand trials (I don't use z-moves, myself, so fighting them is scary) always shake up my teams and make the runs engaging because I'm always getting new mons
generally a much more varied and stimulating game than other generations
