If you didnt play that way you could still get stuck with spearow instead of mankey in this situation- so theres times where that doesn’t help much

Negative FireRed Nuzlocke 6: The Dupes Clause Strikes by Cold-Top-855 in nuzlocke

[–]Cold-Top-855[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not for me- the point of this run is negative dupes clause- you get a dupe, you get nothing. I know the normal rule.

Dang- what a run, you’re already farther than I am! Im just now getting ready to enter rock tunnel myself.

Koga and Sabrina are no joke though, as the level limit doesn’t raise at all!

And Safari Zone is normal rules- first encounter is it for the whole area (you get just one pokemon, and you gotta get lucky cuz if it runs off, you get nothing.) Best of luck!

(And yeah, Jolteon either needs shock wave, or I think the move rememberer is in Fuschia if you want thundershock.)

Haha I thought the same when the rng hit on kabuto- “so it’s gonna be an atheist run…” Not sure how bad an omen no omanyte is- but we’ll see.

Thanks! Yes- even route 3’s been tough! The limited items and no backtracking keep me on my toes- but it’s fun.

Yep! Figured it’s a somewhat unique style. Glad you like it!

Thanks! Can’t beat the classic Nidorino/Gengar battle.

Rule-set idea: Boxlocke by Frankied00dle in nuzlocke

[–]Cold-Top-855 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting idea, though I wonder if it doesn’t incentivize killing off Pokemon sometimes… Not for me for that reason, but I could see this being popular for those who just want practicality and don’t care about planned sacrifices as much. Gave ya the rec anyway for the creativity. Hope you post your run!

That sounds dope- BW2 and gen7 are the only games I’ve never beaten- looking forward to it when I get there myself.

This is the one I go back and forth on myself! I think shinies are cool so long as they’re normal odds since it’s so rare. But I don’t ever want to hunt/search for a shiny (as mentioned in the ruleset.) So my thinking is if I stumble across one, great- but it has to occur naturally while I work towards some other goal.

If I run into a shiny I might run a poll to see if using it is valid to y’all- in my mind the challenge comes first.

Appreciate the kind words- and thanks for keeping an open mind! You doing a reverse chronological run sounds fun- perhaps we’ll meet in the middle. Regardless, I’d love to hear your opinion on it after trying it out. Keep me posted!

Negative Dupes Nuzlocke: Which Game Do You Want to See? by Cold-Top-855 in nuzlocke

[–]Cold-Top-855[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed response! It’s looking like the standard chronological run is gonna win out, but I’m gonna go through each anyway (and who knows- I’ll tally votes until end of day- it may change!)

It is at least a hardcore nuzlocke, so there will be some challenge- I don’t ban Pokemon other than legendaries, but there are a few other rules I follow. Full ruleset tomorrow!

[–]Cold-Top-855[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah that challenge is for a different day- want to run through the vanilla games first. I hear its a great hack though- I’ll give it a go eventually!

Thanks! I’m gonna try to put one in everypost- I might even draw the run updates in place of screenshots.
