>>51690829I really don't see an issue here. People play games, and they want to come up with new ways to enjoy the games they like, because sooner or later they might get stale.
This is just one of those ways.
I like Pokemon. I generally find ways to make games more difficult than they would be normally.
I did Set mode, no items and no grinding for several years. SwSh is built in a way where the "no grinding" part is completely undoable, and I didn't enjoy the games as a result.
I don't enjoy multiplayer, and that's true for Pokemon too.
I have no interest in shiny hunting or whatever.
But I still like the core gameplay of Pokemon itself. Nuzlockes give me that extra edge to have fun with it. I don't care about the lore or anything involved in Nuzlockes. It's just an arbitrary ruleset that gives me more enjoyment out of the games.
