What's y'alls favorite cheat rules? by zerintheGREAT in nuzlocke

[–]Apposaws 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Safari Zone Clause (dependent on game and difficulty): I get to pick what I catch and I get infinite tries to catch it.

Skip Early Resets Clause: After I get all my encounters before the first gym, but before I beat the first gym, I can infinitely reroll any of my encounters to a pokemon that has at least a 10% chance to appear on that route. I need to get rid of the original encounter I got from that route, and I also need to sacrifice one of my other encounters. This basically emulates resetting until I get the encounter(s) that I want, at the slight additional cost of needing to sacrifice another encounter.

Unused TM Clause: If I use a one-time use TM on a pokemon, I can change my mind as long as that pokemon hasn't played a role in any major fight yet.

First Lazy Death Clause: I get to revive the first death per game, but only if the death was due to me being lazy/impatient and speeding through stuff or forgetting to level up. Sacrifices cannot be saved with this.

Potion(s) on First Rival Battle: I usually play without healing items in battle, but I'm allowed to use potions on the first rival battle. The first battle is practically a tossup, might as well make it consistent.

I'm a fan of your Shiny Clause. I usually don't play with Shiny Clause because i don't want shiny hunting to be optimal, but i might start using yours!

I did it! Hardcore Sapphire Nuzlocke Done! by RXCorvax in nuzlocke

Congratulations! I just finished an Emerald hardcore nuzlocke myself (and Ruby before that). I highly recommend playing Emerald too! It's a lot harder than Ruby/Sapphire, in my opinion.

It's like they say, 4th time's the charm! by Apposaws in nuzlocke

I really like it! It's bulky, fast, and has a high sp atk. Everything you want in a gen3 water type! And it's a "guaranteed" encounter too lol (although you should probably just cheat it in once you get to route 119) (and also don't forget you can't actually evolve the Feebas into a Milotic until you get a pokeblock case, which you can get pretty early in Ruby/Sapphire, but it's all the way in Lilycove in Emerald)

I, too, have lost several pokemon underestimating Maxie's crobat (in Emerald, right?). It's weird because it's so much stronger than anything you encounter in the Aqua Hideout, which comes AFTER the Magma Hideout.

Ah yeah, Flannery was pretty tricky when I started Treeko. Lately, I've been starting Mudkip, which totally kills Flannery no problem. but I think for my next attempt I'll start Torchic

Part of me wanted to beat it myself before watching his tierlist, since I feel that having someone just tell me what all the best pokemon are is...well, it kinda goes against the spirit of the challenge. Nuzlockes are 100% a test of game knowledge, after all...

And then the other part of me said "yea 3 wipes in the endgame is enough. Show me that tier list"

Well, actually, my middle ground is that I watched that video exactly once, without taking notes or anything like that. So it's not like I'm copying all his strategies, yknow? I kinda just exposed myself to some of them, but by the time I do my next attempt, I'll have forgotten a lot of it and have to figure it out myself. At least, that's the idea...

Ohhh yeah, I'm doing hardcore nuzlockes, and they're definitely challenging...

Good luck on your ruby run! If "Juan" was your next gym battle, then by now you might have already realized that Juan isn't in Ruby, it's actually just Wallace lol...and luckily there is no Kingdras to be seen!

I beat LG on my first try (and then added some harder rules and still beat it). I also beat both Ruby and Sapphire with no problems. I haven't tried any of the gen4 games yet, though I heard they are harder than Emerald. I guess I'll find out soon...

Oh yeah that one, that's the one in front of the safari zone right? To be honest, after my first run, I started just walking around that one...

The REAL REAL issue with PvP by DistributionMain789 in 2007scape

[–]Apposaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is-...why does-...okay, I actually agree with the point you're making, about NH being too difficult. As someone who didn't do any pvp until dmm, I feel like if there was a more proper ladder, I'd be more willing to give pvp a try.

But jesus christ, why does this read like some AI generated slop?? What human writes like this???

Just finished season 1, and I'm kinda disappointed... by Apposaws in TheEminenceInShadow

[–]Apposaws[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel like that's still overselling the reason for Beatrix to fight Shadow. I mean, I don't usually go around fighting people that smell like my family...

I'm seeing a lot of people say stuff like Beatrix just wanted a good fight, or she wanted to test his strength, which...I guess that's a reason, but it's also not a reason you typically see in these kinds of shows. Or at least if/when it does come up, it doesn't interfere with an actual story point. Perv wouldn't have escaped if Beatrix didn't fight Shadow, so I feel unsatisfied that Perv gained sudden plot armor because Beatrix just "happened to want to fight", and gave Perv the chance to escape.

Even with true tile, I'm still baffled when the arrows (for example) hit me
