>>42213583ok it's cool that you jerk off to nuzlockes or whatever but perma death would be stupid in pokemon
first of all, these games are full of surprise high damage attacks. imagine losing your starter to Sheer Cold or Explosion
second, it's not like this is fire emblem or x-com or something where you can actually fuck a whole save file by losing party members. you can always grind a new one up
it would just add stupid levels of tedium as you have to breed multiple back-ups ready to train up from level 1 in case you get memed by a surprise Metronome Roar of Time
