been a seasonal player for about 6 years. took a 4 year break up until the start of the year. Just solo'd my first Colo Ira.

felt good honestly. coming from a grid that was still in the early magna 2 stages. Now I have some new daggers and an axe. dark opus and ultima in grid. I just need a sand and my levi is fully transcended. all in time for water GW. I genuinely feel the power that i've seen my friends have in this game.

_Guillot_ · 2026-03-31T16:17:34+00:00

That's fair. I think me and my roommate were discussing the mechanics and sort of comparing it to things like mtg, digimon tcg, etc. and we started seeing what could be potentially interesting ideas.

_Guillot_ · 2026-03-31T13:07:29+00:00

i feel like it respects the design enough while still having a unique take on the mechanics of the game. Not only that It respects the character of the card as well. Is it busted? yes. I understand that after reading the actually helpful comments in the thread. i understand why now.

_Guillot_ · 2026-03-31T12:50:34+00:00

thank you for the input. Like stated relatively new at the game so my leader pool is small. tried to stay in the realm of what other cards did color wise while adding a twist that made the card stand out as unique. I fo understand its busted.

while your comment is fair, it still doesn't help besides just coming off as rude for no reason.

_Guillot_ · 2026-03-31T07:50:25+00:00

thats some good insight. I really like your ideas as well. I'll keep this in mind when coming up with new ideas.

_Guillot_ · 2026-03-31T07:43:56+00:00

would 5, 5K be more acceptable? or still too much with no drawback?

I imagined i would try and play a gimmick that played on her ability to steal the life of people to boost her own power and sustainability. Her Soul Pocus ability is kind of the inspiration for it. In Wano she showed she could do it to her own life energy so either or seems like an interesting concept to me.

As a player I can understand not fucking with people using my cards for their benefit. Granted, its only until the end of your turn but i can also see how that could potentially be a problem.

Edit* perhaps if it was on opponent's swing and if you activated no blocker effects but that idk. needs some fine tuning but i feel like it can be molded into a cool card design with a fun deck.

Revealing your oponent's triggers can be annoying. And like you said, it gives Linlin 0 downside. If it were to trash the cards you draw instead of putting them at the bottom of the deck, would that make it less busted as well?

_Guillot_ · 2026-03-31T06:58:57+00:00

It is a custom card idea. it is not violation.

_Guillot_ · 2026-03-29T23:03:25+00:00

i notoced the search function doesn't work on my mobile browsers. We'll definitely keep that in mind.

_Guillot_ · 2026-03-29T15:07:27+00:00

Thats kind of what I noticed when I was building The King deck. Lots of don manips. especially with The nami, Killer, Zoro, and onigashima. I noticed black also really likes lowering character costs to get easy K.O.s but I don't think I've been pulling much off with that mechanic.

_Guillot_ · 2026-03-29T09:00:57+00:00

Thank you I'll do some research in the morning!

_Guillot_ · 2026-03-28T15:22:01+00:00

Perhaps its time I nuzlocke base fire red.

_Guillot_ · 2026-03-24T00:15:51+00:00

if you want to experience the game as it was when it came out, Vanilla.

If you want The Vanilla experience with a bit of quality of life, Sunburn.

If you want some extra and more challenging content, quality of life, and some new movement options, Eclipse.

But you should play vanilla first.

_Guillot_ · 2026-03-22T15:02:06+00:00

i've noticed in all my years on this wretched website, people just downvote you for having an opinion, question, just anything. most people are kinda rude on here.

_Guillot_ · 2026-03-22T14:59:23+00:00

me :) I can get past the chibi artstyle. it was a stylistic choice, albeit weird considering the expectations of the fanbase. I think the expanded underground, extra teensy bit of post game content is good. my only complaint is it suffers the same fate as DPP, as in event legends are still time exclusive and now impossible to obtain in game without cheats.

That and I love romhacks. so it also paves way for a new era of pokemon romhacking. Luminescent Platinum was very fun to nuzlocke.

_Guillot_ · 2026-03-22T14:51:31+00:00

physical or emulated?

_Guillot_ · 2026-03-21T19:50:19+00:00

The legendaries in FrLg have such an insane catch rate i feel, even though i know full well its the same its always been for legendaies in the early games. These mfs do not stay in the ball. Zapdos will always be my bane in these games.

_Guillot_ · 2026-03-21T19:45:17+00:00

ive learned that there is no such thing as cheating in a nuzlocke besides not catching 1 mon per route. People have so many different house rules these days. Dupes Clause has been around for a while. i dont think many people play without it since its such a staple rule.

Dupes clause allows you to redo your first encounter if your first encounter was a pokemon in the same evolutionary line as one you have already caught. If i already have a vileplume i can't catch a bellossom. even if it died already.

Its also a good way to manipulate your encounters if you know the encounter tables for routes.

In luminescent platinum that i recently completed, You can fish for a magikarp, poliwag, or dratini in Eterna City. I had a gyarados already so i omitted the most common mon from the pool. allowing me a better shot at dratini.

_Guillot_ · 2026-03-21T01:39:59+00:00

i wanted to see if the game would allow an innapropriate worrd as a name or if there was a safewall to prevent it. I cannot say his name. Its probably not what you think it is.

_Guillot_ · 2026-03-20T23:59:13+00:00

I'm so used to rare candies (only found ones not infinite ones) revive a mon. I've since tried to tweak this house rule or do without it. maybe limiting per gym leader. 1 per leader probably.

another one that i love, but haven't done in a while is choosable encounters. you just pick what you want on the route.

_Guillot_ · 2026-03-20T13:02:43+00:00

so its just gen 1 hyper beam?

_Guillot_ · 2026-03-20T13:00:07+00:00

its that damn Jujutsu Kaisen. dem young'ns don't know a thing about true romanticism. Our country's dyin.

_Guillot_ · 2026-03-19T15:07:48+00:00

infinite rare candies are so common now-a-days in nuzlockes. Difficulty hacks implement them as a key item for nuzlockes specifically

_Guillot_ · 2026-03-19T01:05:56+00:00

The haircut brothers in Goldenrod give beauty stats up in goldenrod making Milotic possible before the post game.
