Let's face it, RNG is a fickle God, and it loves to mess with us. What are some of the times when that Gym Leader got a game-ending crit, your 90% ACC move missed, or that randomized pitted your poor starter of a Pidgey up against a Mewtwo? I remember in my randomized Sapphire Locke, I had managed to get past Flannery and was omw to facing Dad. His first Pokémon was Tyranitar; half my team got taken out right there. By the final mom I was down one to one. My Dad sent out a Wobbuffet. I didn't even bother finishing.
Well I did try a Nuzlocke once. It was a horrible run though, because I tend to forget about the rules and just play like I normally do. I stopped early on because I knew it wasn't for me
Heheheh XD Yeah, Nuzlockes take some dedication. I remember losing a few very good Pokémon I had grown attached to early on and almost considered stopping the Nuzlocke and playing normally because I was too fond of them ;-;
I dont remember exactly what happened, but my FireRed run was a mess. All but one Pokémon fell on the way to Brock, and a trainer after him ended it. >n<
Although it didn't end until I went up against Volkner, I faced off against Candice and her satanic Froslass in Platinum. My Medicham, Melissa was up against it and I had been partially drunk, spamming Hi Jump Kick against it and not fully aware that it was part ghost type and the self-damage still applied. She didn't even bother using a ghost move and did a Hail setup and I ended up killing my longest tenured Pokémon thus far
My gold and silver nuzlocke hasnt ended yet, but I DID do a soft reset. If I could choose any Pokémon to be subjected to a pit of endless torture, Bugsy and his evil fury cutting scyther.
hoo boy; i attempted to try and nuzlocke Pokémon black once;; i ended up soft resetting because i didn't realize black doesn't save your data if you had a game on it BEFORE you select new game ended up losing all of my data after a trainer in the dreamyard killed my entire team :'>
It didn't really help that I was kinda...drunk at the time. But yeah, I had a hard time trying to take Candice down. Eventually did it through my drunk stupor though. Not sure how
So far all of my Nuzlocke attempts have ended with with me losing interest and stopping before I even get half way through. Except one time where I tried a FireRed (or was it LeafGreen? I don't remember) and lost in the very first battle against Gary. It was a while before I tried another Nuzlocke after that utter failure.
