There might be some curious anons here, so just fair warning: do not try to nuzlocke the new Pokemon Unbound's Insane Mode. It is beyond fucking ridiculous, the rival has shit like Focus Sash Swinub with Icicle Crash and EARTHQUAKE by the 2nd battle when you have like level 15 shitmons. Hard/Normal seem to be much more manageable challenges.

>>45597350
Probably Volt White/Black Blaze 2, it's hard without being utterly unfair and you're given more than enough ways to work around the game's challenges. The overall structure of the base game combined with the optional Hoenn leaders also makes it have a super nice flow

It's just the nuzlocke generator listed in the OP.
>>45600173
I don't want to offend but it's basically not really a nuzlocke if you break that rule - part of the spirit of nuzlockes is working with what you're given and learning new ways to use Pokemon you usually wouldn't give a second glance at. Have you actually tried the rule in practice?
That being said, you can play however you like - if you want to handpick your capture on each route and limit yourself to one mon per route, you're 100% free to do so.

Gonna do a Swordlocke. I actually like these games and find them comfy, but the exp share makes the game difficulty absolutely fucking trivial. The fact we can’t even turn the exp share off when Isle is expected to be done in main story is dumb and the fact it’s 2020 and still have no challenge mode is dumb.

Anyway, rules are

Standard
1) Nickname
2) First ‘mon of every route
3) Permadeath

Unique
4) No TRs, purely working with a Pokémon’s base moves and this Gen’s TMs that are deliberately shit or utility focused.
5) No starter. If this was any other Gen besides maybe 6 I’d let myself grab another Route 1 mon, but I feel any challenge is needed.
6) I can go to Armour, but cannot get the EXP Charm. Basically besides the first Klara fight I can’t do anything and can only use it to catch ‘Mons.
7) Equal match rules: for important story trainers such as rivals and GLs, I have to match (or be under) their number of Pokémon.
8) Random Encounter Pokémon only. If an area has Overworld only, its just the closest spawned.

I think this’ll be relatively easy, Wild Area and Isle are just fodder giveaways.

If you use an infinite money code, the flow of the game goes super quickly since you can just mass buy vitamins/max IVs once you reach Celadon (and there are practically guaranteed ways of beating Lt. Surge/Misty/Brock).
It's not great, but it is what it is, the game wasn't designed with nuzlockes in mind.

For anybody running Rad Red here are good strats to reliably clear early game:
>Level up to 15 to defeat Falkner, try not to lose anything, make sure to grab egg by not buying potions/selling Wise Glasses
>Brock can be beaten by Squirtle pretty reliably, but Charmander is better down the line
>Level to the cap to defeat Cerulean rival and Archer in Mt. Moon
>Go to Vermilion and grab the Old Rod, then fish on the bridge outside SS Anne (Magikarp), fish, fish in Vermilion (Goldeen, get Magikarp first to Dupes Clause it if you get it in Vermilion), fish outside of Bill's house on Route 25 (Chinchou)
>Lanturn and Gyarados should reliably solo Misty, just use Audinos on Route 25 for fast leveling
>Seaking w/ Rest, Aqua Ring, Agility, Fishious Rend, Lightningrod, and 252 Atk EVs w/ Mystic Water can solo Surge - you'll need the move relearner in Cerulean, you can grind the raid outside of Mt. Moon on Rt 3 for atk EV items
>Just set up Agility on Pincurchin, if it burns you, use Aqua Ring, wait until electric terrain fades, then Rest
>level up to cap then and destroy Brendan outside Diglett Cave, Whitney, and Bugsy
Note there's also a lot of cool techs to do like hatching the Vermilion egg in Underground Path, fishing with the Good Rod in Pallet Town for Barboach so you can guarantee Corsola-Galar on Route 10, etc. but this is a near-surefire way of getting through early game, at least until Erika/Silph Co/Sabrina where you'll need to consolidate good encounters and start EV training in general

Serena's Absol killed it with a crit Slash
>Floette
Due to some bad decisions, it died during the battle against Korrina's Hawlucha
>Diggersby
Died to a crit Body Slam from a Milktank
>Tyrunt
Same mistake as with the Electrike. I went into a fight with a Dugtrio and it died very quickly to Bulldoze.
>That same Dugtrio
Died to Gyro Ball from a Ferroseed at the Counarrine Gym
>Quilladin
Died to fucking Bide from a wild Milktank

Jesus. I need to get my shit together before I lose this.

All of these are things you'll eventually "get" with experience, anon. Don't worry that you're getting fucked with now, just make sure to get all the encounters you can and learn from your mistakes.

To be fair, there are only guaranteed ways if you get the right encounter. You could get to surge without having a single ground type encounter.

>hit cap before i pass through the mt. moon boss
This is my biggest problem with RR. It feels like the XP is way too high for having level caps or something. I always hit cap even while skipping most trainers and I was a virgin loser who ev grinded and grinded nuggets from meowth before fighting misty. I'm at Koga now and I still hit cap way before fighting any bosses and it sort of feels like a waste of time doing anything when I'm not gaining xp.

This is a casual playthrough btw

>there's also a lot of cool techs to do like hatching the Vermilion egg in Underground Path
Didn't you already get the Vermilion encounter though? Or do you go by the rule where egg encounters matter where you hatch them?

Either way, I feel like doing these "techs" is for sure a smart way to play, but I feel like it kind of ruins the point of a nuzlocke. Maybe it's needed for difficulty hacks, but I feel like Nuzlockes are supposed to be challenges that push you to use certain pokemon you wouldn't normally use in a game. It stops your team from just being Starter + First flying pokemon + Gyarados + Pseudo + 2 other things.

Is bill's house a separate encounter from route 25? It's not in the nuzlocke tracker.

Well, you do that for the rest of the game. RR demands you use other things than the cookiecutter team you posted when it comes to its toughest fights even on a casual playthrough anyway.
I do see that some people may not enjoy having basically the same early game up to Surge everytime, but Radical Red is also one of the most difficult fangames/romhacks out currently, and having a consistent first 3 gyms I think is helpful for folks who want to get back as quickly as possible to the true meat of the game.

Update:I lost Bantu to a wrong calculation.

I was doing a Sky Battle and the Trainer got an Aerodactyl,I was scared it 2HKOed my Yveltal,so I switched out in Charizard even if Stone Edge was x4 but it was 10+ levels higher,but it died.
And actually,Yveltal survived another Stone Edge,so switching in Charizard was useless.
I'm so sad about this death,Bantu was such a versatile Pokèmon,and one of my favourite.
I reswitched him with WhiteFang Jr. since I didn't have any other options.

I'll keep pushing forward. I'm a bit worried about the encounters but I have a few fishing spots and I'll just play more conservatively. Thanks.

>when you find Raikou while nuzlocking HG and decide to throw a pokeball just for shits even though it's not your encounter for the area
>catch it at full health first ball first time
welp, into the box you go forever. anyways how do people typically treat gift pokemon? is the gift your encounter for the area or do you accept all gifts in addition to getting to try and catch something in the area?

yeah pretty much exp share solves the xp problem, it's just the EV grinding that gets tedious after lt.surge

sky trainer battles are brutal. i honestly just avoid them.
>>45617915
i'm actually the oposite of >>45618172 in that no two mons can share met location, even if one is a gift/overworld encounter. ultimately you do you, tho. nice lucky catch.

If they're static then it should count though right? Seems cheesy you get a pokemon AND a legendary/gift guaranteed.
