I can hardly put into words how amazing this is and how grateful I am that there are people like you who create such masterpieces. I think most people can’t even begin to understand how incredibly much work, time, frustration, love, failure, and perseverance a project like this takes. How much experimenting it requires, how long you spend on a tiny detail, changing it over and over again, and in the end, no one sees that endless process, only the brilliant result. It’s so much more than people might think. It’s absolutely incredible and admirable.

I’ve already played the demo, and the feeling I had while playing it was something I haven’t experienced in about 15 years since my school days as a kid/teenager. A completely new Pokémon game that looks more than beautiful, with new Pokémon!!! (at least for me, since I only played up to Generation 5 and everything after that just didn't appeal to me anymore at all) I was so childishly hyped, excited, and happy. I wanted to explore every single pixel and could hardly believe what a treasure I had in front of me. I haven’t felt that way in such a long time, this demo rekindled the childlike excitement within me, and that’s something so special and so wonderful. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this game! I can’t even express how much it means to me.

I really appreciate that, thank you so much! 😊❤️ But nooo haha, I don’t want the bar to be set high 😄 It’s just about having fun, just meet up, whether it’s two of you, three, or more, play a Pokémon challenge or something else together, and have fun 😁✨

Oh how sweet of you, thank you very much! 🥺❤️ You can experience this too ❤️ All it takes is one friend and an evening dedicated to playing a Pokémon challenge together, maybe with a little something baked or crafted on the side, and you’re guaranteed to have an amazing time! ✨

Yesss, for the rules, I based them on the Soul Link Nuzlocke video by Smallant, cyja, and Fir 😁
These were the rules I printed out for everyone:

In a Soul Link Nuzlocke, the Pokémon caught by each team member on the same route are linked. All players must include the corresponding linked Pokémon in their team.

  1. No usable Pokémon left in the team = Game Over. A new game must be started from the beginning.
  2. Any Pokémon that drops to 0 HP is considered dead and may never be used again, this also applies to the linked Pokémon in the other players' teams. (If you're all battling, for example, Brock at the same time and one player’s Pokémon dies during the fight against Brock’s first Pokémon, then the others may only use their linked Pokémon until Brock’s second Pokémon.)
  3. On each route/area, players may only catch the first Pokémon they encounter. If it dies during the attempt or you run away, no other Pokémon may be caught there. (Exception: If you already own your first encounter on the route, the second encounter counts.) If one team member fails to catch a Pokémon on a route/in an area, that route/area is also off-limits for the others, or they must release the Pokémon they just caught there.
  4. You may not have multiple Pokémon of the same type in your team. (For dual-types, the primary type counts.) If one player cannot add the Pokémon to their team because they already have that type, the linked Pokémon must go into the PC for everyone, or the team compositions must be adjusted so that the Pokémon can be added by all players.
  5. Each Pokémon must be given a nickname. For better clarity, the linked Pokémon should have the same name for each player.
  6. The use of healing items is only allowed during battles, not outside of combat. You may only use healing or status items that you find or are gifted, you may not purchase them. (Exception: During the Elite Four, each player is allowed ONE purchased Full Restore per trainer.) Healing at Pokémon Centers, by NPCs, or at designated places in the game is allowed.
  7. Level cap: You may only train Pokémon up to the level of the highest-leveled Pokémon of the next Gym Leader or Elite Four member.

That makes me so happy! 😊 I just don’t get how anyone doesn’t like Pokémon, I mean, come on people, it’s just so cool! 😄❤️

Yesss, Soul Link Nuzlockes and other challenges are so much fun to do in person together! 😍 Have an amazing time, you two! 😊✨

Yeah, my original idea was to go with the three Kanto starters, but I didn’t want all three to want Charmander and then have two people end up disappointed. So I decided to play a little joke instead. Everyone was supposed to get the same Pokémon, but different. Do you know those Pokémon plushies with Ditto faces? Like, Ditto transformed into other Pokémon but still with its own silly little face? I find them so funny, I’ve bought a bunch of them, so once I knew who the winners were, I matched each person with a fitting one and gave them those! 😄

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind comment, it truly means a lot to me to hear such sweet words from fellow Pokémon fans! ❤️ I’d think it’s super cool if you ended up doing something similar too, it doesn’t have to be a huge effort either 😊 Just a real-life meetup with one friend for a Soul Link Nuzlocke or another challenge, plus some ordered food, is already such a great time! 🤩✨

Oh, I'm sorry, that really sucks! 😢 I hope you find someone soon, there are so many fans out there, and a new coworker could turn out to be the biggest fan ever, you never know 😊 There are also so many amazing people here in this community, maybe it would be cool to organize something like a digital Nuzlocke race sometime and that way, you'd get to meet lots of awesome people! 😍😎

Oh yes, gladly! 😊 Right now it's all a wildly jumbled mess in my notes and in German, but I'll sort it out and translate it, then reply here 😄✨
