What's nuzlock
Something born on the very board you're browsing
Ganker did not invent nuzlockes
did /vp/ already exist back then?
Ganker did invent nuzlockes.
>he doesn't know
>average /vp/ newhomosexual
the name originates from an image in an old comic of a nuzleaf who had locke from lost as his head
it really is a Ganker thing
yikes
stop spreading misinformation pls
zoomer rekt
>And so, Gankerasectomy fell for the obvious bait again
>be legit moronic
>"hurr i'm only pretending to be moronic"
Yes it did.
So did mystery egg runs.
Invent might be the wrong word but originate.
Kinda like Minecraft
? he's right? it start on somethingawful forums? didn't it?
You are correct, like Slenderman and everything else nuGanker takes credit for it originated on somethingawful.
Wrong. Dude posted his mspaint comics here originally.
>it start on somethingawful forums? didn't it?
No, it started here. Most younglings who try to fit in like to say a lot of things we make are from SA so be wary.
At this rate they'll try and claim Tentaquil or Albersnatch.
Hello newbie
get raped
I could shoot you you fricking homosexual.
What is the point of internet revisionist history like this?
it's not revisionist history, it's a dumbass who doesn't know what he's talking about
They probably first learned about it from some YouTube homosexual and prefer to attribute the idea to them
Well good thing it's called nuzlocke and not smallantlocke
Dumb homosexual
Um how did so many people fall for this?
That's Ganker, jaded as hell but very gullible.
Ganker is autistic
Years ago, some gay made a comic of his challenge run of a pokemon game, he can only catch the first encounter he gets in every route, has give a name for every pokemon and if they faint once they're dead, he named a Nuzleaf Locke John Locke from the tv show Lost and that's was basically his character in the comic
tl;dr
>Nuz = Nuzleaf
>Locke = John Locke from lost
>Nuzlocke = Pokemon Challenge Run
>3 years since the last update
hold me bros...
nintendo stole his cartridge
have you got the rest of these
pls post
google
nuzlocke
comic
>nuzlocke is old
Rawr nuzzles
A self imposed challenge mode of pokemon made by some comic to make pokemon more fun and challenging.
It caught on from his comic and now has a community of people playing this harder version of pokemon with self imposed rules.
>you can only catch the first route encounter
>name all pokemon you catch
>if a pokemon faints even once, you have release it
Some people add more rules like no items, no evolving, but that's about it.
Originally people made comics or animations about jt but it's not a thing anymkre
It's pretty fun and you have to think through things a different way.
its hardcore mode but for autistic children who watch too many youtubers.
It was a thing way before people gave a shit about youtubers doing it. I've been doing nuzlockes since like 2011.
here are the rules
nuzlock deez nutz
A ruleset to make the game more challenging. Why they would have a problem with it is beyond me. They can't possibly be so petty that they're mad that some people enjoy the game in a way that's different than intended.
yes they can especially if they are devs
nintendo was petty enough to censor luigis socks.
Nobody is mad about how you play pokemon. They just didn't want those tree house youtubers they fired to do nuzlock on their stream.
Deez nuz
Kek
Glorified deathless run. There's more rules in it but that's the gist of it.
This fricking homosexual, WHEN'S THE NEXT CHAPTER.
Didn't he stop because his games+handheld got stolen as someone broke into his car?
Sounds like his way of saying frick off im not making any more.
Never. He's trying to make it in LA as a writer now.
Its when you tie a rubber band around your sack hoping it falls off.
A moronic name for a no-faint run
twitter thread?
twitter thread
omg do you guys love twitter too!? nice to see other fans here as well
it's because it's associated with a notoriously alt right image board and copyright infringement (Lost)
That's utterly moronic. Nuzlockes are stupid and a bandwagon that outlived its relevancy by at least ten years, but they literally are just playing the game and roleplaying a challenge.
>challenge
There's your problem anon. The new producers believe that challenges are bad because no one has time to play games in a meaningful way anymore plz understan smol indi compny
What the frick.
Almost certainly based on a mistranslation and misunderstanding.
Nuzlockes are fun since they make you use Pokémon you otherwise might not’ve
Its pretty fun as long as you don't get into spreadsheet autism and don't try to do a challenge run on a "dificulty" hack
I dont know papu i feel that is kind of moron they could even add to their games and milk more money of it...
This only effects ecelebs, do what you want with your own game you stupid morons
I just make my party based on which ones are the cutest
It's always autistic trannies that play pokemon now
I've never played a single pokemon game past gen 4 but I love my OG gen moemons
>you are now remembering when Ganker beat the elite 4 and champion with a Mormon team
>Ganker plays moemon
Good times
I was there.
What did you photoshop over?
>All those T3s
>And then a farfetch'd
?
>2 pseudos
Lame
>haxorus isn't a pseudo
Wait since when
since forever, it doesn't have 600 BST, and having 600 BST is the sole defining factor for a non-legendary being a pseudo-legendary.
I know, I was just confused for years and thought it was the gen's Pseudo instead because Iris used one and every champion until then had the Pseudo IIRC.
It doesn't have a 600 bst like all of the rest of them do. It's still powerful but only hydreigon is the pseudo from gen 5. If you think it's a pseudo, then aggron would also be one
Can anyone recommend a moemon rom that actually got all the really polished sprites? I remember trying out like a dozen in the past, and it was generally a mixed bag of some great ones, and then a bunch of wonky stinkers + a couple of unchanged sprites.
Mega Moemon Fire Red
What's the best moemon for coomers? Asking for a friend.
Not necessarily moemon but there are two pornographic romhacks out there. Pokémon Psychic adventures (mind control npcs into fricking them) and Pokémon Girls Hunter (capture pokégirls and use them in battles, equip them with bondage gear, etc).
Looks like he was right, frick off troon
>like cute girls
>troon
The absolute state of Ganker these days.
>trannies like moeshit
>he fell for the psyop

in case you havent noticed, troons are by and far "lesbians" (or as they like to try to give themselves "cute" labels all the time transbians)
>I've never played a single pokemon game past gen 4
Hello fellow zoomer
You what mate? I'm 32 years old. I played silver in elementary school, sapphire in HS. Went back and played yellow on emu and then Diamond and finally decided to quit regular Pokemon after that. Silver was still my favorite one. Now I'm playing Moemon Fire Red for nostalgia and cute girls.
dumb esl
There's people here who speak fluent english but are shitskin mutts. There's others who are caucasian with imperfect english because it's not their native tongue. I'd rather be surrounded by the latter. Language doesn't mean much you moron.
Pokemon platinum was over ten years ago
>in less than half a decade Gen 4 will be 20 years old
Yes, anon, time passes. Gen 3 will be there in 2 months.
Sometimes you just don't expect it and it creeps up on you.
Wouldn't that make him more of a boomer
>Sees anime
>Immediately thinks of trannies
You need to detransition.
Is really impressive how many of you out of touch homosexuals still don't realize that all trannies love anime and especially love children. Like all of them. You're just afraid of the fact that you share a huge aspect of your hobbies and personality with people that you don't like. Really it suggests more about you than it does about them
trannies love video games too anon. Why dont you stop playing video games you massive homosexual?
Yes but I don't deny that. homosexuals like you deny that trannies are obsessed with anime because it hurts your ego to be just as obsessed with the same thing as trannies.
your reasoning is really shallow as frick. You fricking zoomer tourists should really get banned holy shit.
No ones denying that trannies like anime. Is it my fricking fault that america couldnt contain their homosexualry around my hobby?
Anime and moe was made for JAPANESE because of their work culture because of how drained they are every single day of work.
Now stop shittong on anime because """"""Trannies""""""""
what if every troony started doing construction job? Are you gonna demolish every single fricking building built by them?<<<<<<< this is how moronic you sound
>No ones denying that trannies like anime
Maybe you're not. But tons of homosexuals like you on Ganker deny it. You're being disingenuous, and it still seems like an ego problem that you have
>hobby gets shitposted to oblivion
>natural instinct is to protect said hobby
i think you should start transitioning and join the 53%+ you underage homosexual
Nah I'm comfortable with my interests and hobbies. I don't feel the need to sperg out when a random stranger on the internet damages my fragile masculinity
obsessed
>obsessedACK
Trannies like literally everything that appeals to men, including ALL male hobbies, because they are MALE you fricking moron. Your favourite hobby? Troons fricking LOVE that shit. Anything you like that isn't either fitness related or something that genuine women enjoy? That's right, troon central. You know why that is? Let me repeat myself. It's because they're fricking MEN, you wienerSUCKER.
The only male hobby is jacking yourself off.
Anything else is social reject cope. A well-adjusted adult engages in what he finds enjoyable and doesn't care about the hobby's demographics.
This can range from bjj to knitting.
That's semantic bullshit that's neither here nor there. Did you misunderstand what I was saying? What I'm getting at is that something appeals to men, then it appeals to troons as well, because they're still men. Calling any hobby a troon hobby is moronic because the majority of shit you're into is likely popular with shut-in trannies as well.
>now
Pokemon has been for autists since Pokemania.
are these trannies in the thread with us right now? lmao
>come up with arbitrary rules to challenge yourself in a replay
>somehow this is on the same level as (rom) hacking
whoever said that at nintendo is moronic
A lot of people use randomizers and emulation to do nuzlocke runs. The higher ups probably thought they were talking about that.
the higher ups suck fat wieners
Sounds moronic enough so I think it's true.
If they're upset about it, good. It's their own fault. Kids aren't moronic, they know how to play games. Probably better than most adults
>nintendo is moronic
basically
>playing the game in autistic way is the same as rom hacking
pokemon company is absolutely moronic is this really a surprise

>No more attractive characters
That is a boy sadly.
>only respite is porn games
Maybe SOMEDAY, creators will fricking realize the untapped market for decent games you can fap to since they're already not "socially acceptable".
Nintendo fricking hates American fans and always has, if they could they would DMCA any video with someone playing their games and any unofficial fan site. They detest having to play the industry games of letting people stream/giving out review copies etc because they don't have to do it in Japan. Japanese gamers just play the game and shut up, at most they say they liked it on Twitter. They don't make content and they don't whine.
If they hate the fans, which I agree with you because they ALSO hate the fans as a global collective given their choices as devs, why the frick do they hire them as shills!?
Because they feel like they have to and know the gaming media, which they hate even more, would tell "lies" about them and try to ruin them. Reminder that they stopped doing E3 because the gaming media rightfully shat on their shit shows and they went "they're just being unfair to us." Nintendo wants special treatment and Western gamers and media continuously push it to be in line with its competitors in terms of fan outreach.
Because they can. And because their fans have zero self-respect.

It is on the same level as romhacking though. It's just a different way to play.
>game freak seethe at people proving the potential they refuse to ever do themselves
not sure why they even care, it's not like normalgays have the focus or willpower to actually protest and not consoom
How in the flying frick did they equate only catching one Mon a route and releasing when it faints to hacking? What's wrong here? How do they know and why do they care?
Mistranslation and misunderstanding of the concept. It's the only thing that makes sense.
Has to be, they think people are injecting one powerful Mon or something.
>It's the only thing that makes sense.
lol
lmao, even
Didn't think that maybe a Nintendo-derivative company wouldn't have a shit fit at people playing their games the "wrong" way?
It's weird how the western games industry finds some irrelevant small thing that they can you use to make the Japanese look bad and then they all repost it spreading it everywhere. It's so obvious what they're doing every time. Their games already make billions of dollars more than Japanese ones so I don't understand why they are so bitter and hateful.
>Point out bad, outdated, and disrespectful to fans thing only Japanese developers do
>You're just jealous
Next you're going to argue we can't criticize them at all or it's racist
Japanese developer are special. Please understand.
Western game devs are blatantly racist against the Japanese. I wouldn't normally care, everyone is nationalist and racist to some extent, but it's annoying because they pretend they aren't and that they are above it all. I hate how they talk out both sides of their mouths.
>everyone is nationalist
insecure projection
Some people value freedom
Western devs finding any excuse to shit on japanese developers is a thing that's well documented and happens regularly. It just so happens that in this case it's very warranted.
Because those people are, this isn't me memeing im being dead fricking serious, racist against the Japanese and jealous of their dev skills and angry at their lack of social justice. So they nitpick. The Pokemon devs are homosexuals and israelites but that doesn't make the western complainers innocent.
>Point out that moronic company that doesn't understand the Internet is stupid
>You're just racist
What
No I agree they don't understand the fans, I am talking about people who criticize Jap devs for doing Jap dev things.
I understand this with the Elden Ring seethe but nine times out of ten this is just weeb cope.
>they hate us cause they ain't us bro
How did you bring western devs into this story?
Because that's who is posting this stuff on twitter.
Fortnite is the most popular multiplayer game in the world and loves dumb shit fans do.
Western devs know they only make more money because they're much less scrupulous about advertisement. They know Japanese devs, for all their moronation about what players are allowed to do with their games, are generally producing better products out of the gate.

because you homosexuals b***h about e-celeb shit but post e-celeb shit
do you know what website you're on
I hate you and gura, but they and nintendo clearly have a massive disconnect between themselves and their fans, if not outright animosity.
I don't fricking understand it either, it's like they treat every fan like they're running a subscription based ROM site or selling Switch hacks or something. What's the fricking problem?
And I hate you and love Gura, but I agree they really don't fricking get their fans at all
>but they and nintendo clearly have a massive disconnect between themselves and their fans, if not outright animosity.
To be fair, I would hate "fans" like that too given they just make trouble for them
do you think that tens of millions of people buy pokemon games to play your moronic self-imposed challenge runs?
No.They buy these games to have a relationship with cute/cool animals and monsters and want to be attached to them
They also want to play the games how they fricking want because they won't let GF put in fricking basic ass features like a hard mode.
I think it's more they see a very dark unmarketable challenge that has entered the normie sphere and is heavily used on twitch and other places so they worry that it will hurt their family friendliness etc
Pretty much this, if they officially acknowledge the existence of Nuzlocke then they have to acknowledge that Pokemon battles are still wienerfighting no matter how much they spruce it up.
Hell I was surprised they allowed Squirtle to bit Charmander's neck in Origins that shit was uncomfortable.
Yeah that makes sense, treating your pokemon as though they die and the disposable nature of it seem pretty antithetical of everything GF has ever said.
vtards get the frick off my board, but I agree with your post wholeheartedly.
>Ellis revealed during the latest episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast that for an episode of Nintendo Minute, an idea was pitched to try a nuzlocke run. Unfortunately, the proposal was immediately shot down.
>Ellis said:
>“Well, we have a great story to tell about this where we thought that this would be a fun idea for a Nintendo Minute video, so we pitched it to The Pokemon Company and said, ‘Hey, we would like to do a nuzlocke run, what do you think?’ ‘Here’s what we think’ – bam! So they said, ‘We consider this to be on the same level as using hacking’ – ROM hacks.
>Excuse me? This is just the style of playing a game that everybody can buy – there’s no hacking, you’re just playing the game. That was truly one of the more like, ‘wait what?’ responses.”
I think they just meant "you're playing a modified version of the game (a game defined by self-imposed rules rather the normal gameplay). So even if it's not actually a hack, it's kind of like playing a hack on stream. We want Nintendo Minute to show the normal game."
Suits are fricking moronic, more news at 11.
I can kind of understand though, they just want to use Nintendo Moment show off the game. If you want to promote your game, you don't necessarily want to show them some play-through with self-imposed rules that would misrepresent ordinary gameplay. Like a Mario playthrough where you purposefully ignore power-ups wouldn't be the best representation of the game.
It's not like they're saying Nuzlocke should be banned or something.
>It's not like they're saying Nuzlocke should be banned or something.
Not directly, no. But when you also consider their stance on hacking, then yes, that is what they're saying.
I was going to post source and say this but you said it better than I could have, sadly Ganker only cares enough to read the title. Thanks for making me not waste my time, anon(s).
This is not an example of the title being misleading and Ganker (or the internet in general) spewing out misguided hatred in response. The title is accurate, and it is just as moronic of TPC to say that regardless of if one has the context of the full video or not.
Even the most generous interpretation, which the other anon gave (that they want the game played as-intended, not any other way), makes them look pants-on-head moronic.
The generous interpretation is that if you ask a suit for permission to do a Nuzlocke, they have no idea what the frick that is and have someone google it, and 90% chance it's a video of an emulated game with a randomizer, which is considered a romhack.
So they just will assume the romhack enables a nuzlocke run.
i also thought it was some kind of romhack until i looked it up
>make own rules for you to have fun
>money stolen
Like clockwork
Yes, let's officially associate our billion dollar series with an ABC Television series and a fanwork.
How's that cum tasting Joe?
It's just a self imposed challenge mode. Didn't they kill of nuzlockes with the latest game anyway since there aren't routes?
>self imposed challenge
>considered the same as cheating and hacking
That's the best part, they knew it was only self imposed and basically just got mad that people are playing the game wrong, so they had to come up with some BS excuse.
>Play game made by creator who dislikes excessive violence and death in video games, and so he makes the Pokemon temporarily pass out instead
>act surprised when the company doesn't like people larping that their Pokemon are dead
Tajiri didn't have anything against death or violence you nonce. The very existence of Lavender Town proves that
He had a problem with casual desensitization and shrugging off of death, because as a concept it's something that should taken more seriously
Nuzlockes actually HELP with that because the threat of actual loss means you're more attached to your Pokemon and you make damn sure to do everything in power to make sure they live to see the next battle.
It's part of why nicknames are mandatory in Nuzlockes
TPC has made it very clear that out of the many ways Pokemon can die, battles are not one of them.
Except for the times they do, albeit rarely.
Legends Arceus's whole thing was the Pokemon aren't holding back and will fricking murder you if you let them.
>It's part of why nicknames are mandatory in Nuzlockes
this was never a rule, my dude
Nuzockes "rule" are loose to begin with anon
No, there's two rules:
>release a pokemon if it faints
>have to catch the 1st pokemon in each area and nothing else
The only "loose" things about that are if you consider a new encounter table to be a new area or not (for things like the Safari Zone), and if you're a pussy who is just going to box them after they faint instead of release them.
There's no fricking rulebook for Nuzlockes, the only real rule is if a Pokemon faints you can't use it anymore
right the frick here you stupid fricking Black person
this is a nuzlocke run. anything else is extra bullshit
Nuzlockes are SELF IMPOSSED you gay, just because "the first" one did it like that doesn't mean they all have to, people have been adding and subtracting their own rules to for years.
i swear to god you're a fricking moronic Black person, those are nuzLIKES
so would a game where you only catch one mon per route but there are no death or nickname rules be a nuzlite?
>NOOOOOOO IT DOESN'T COUNT BECAUSE I SAID IT DOESN'T, LOOK AT THIS WEBCOMIC OF THE FIRST NUZLOCKE.
>NOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST SAY MY CAR ISN'T A CAR EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T HAVE AN ENGINE OR A CAB
>IT'S STILL A CAR
We're talking about self imposed rules for a children's RPG, get the frick over yourself.
Correct, and if you break those rules, then it isn't that thing anymore.
How are breaking the rules when the only fricking rule is if your Pokemon faints you lose them forever? Maybe if you wanted to be a stubborn butthole, you could include the "first encounter" thing as a rule, but that's it.
What the frick does any of that have to do anything you fricking autismo
Let me guess, you fancy yourself as something like a "pro" Nuzocker
>How are breaking the rules when the only fricking rule is if your Pokemon faints you lose them forever?
because that's not the only fricking rule, the first encounter rule is also an important part of the challenge, because it limits what you can and can't catch, and provides a definite loss condition.
Debatable but I can concede the logic behind that. That said, everything about a Nuzlocke is STILL self imposed and you can add and subtract rules as you wish, people tend to add more rules but I digress
It's still a fricking Nuzlocke and keep this is all because you or some other autismo were being anal about the nickname "rule", which has been generally accepted as part of nuzlocking.
>you can subtract rules as you wish
NO. YOU. CAN'T. If you don't have the two defining rules of a nuzlocke, then it's not a fricking nuzlocke.
The ONLY way it stops being in anyway a Nuzlocke is if you use fainted Pokemon again. Everything else is secondary.
There is no fricking rulebook for Nuzlocking, the rules only exist in your head.
>Everything else is secondary.
No, you fricking moron. The catching part is a requirement as well.
If I create a "Hammer dick challenge" where I hit my dick with a hammer every time a Pokemon faints, and I'm not allowed to buy items at shops, that doesn't mean that someone doing a run without hitting their dick with a hammer but still not buying items from shops is doing a "Hammer dick challenge"
No the issue if that you're a bunch of fricking autists.
Again the see logic behind the "1st encounter" """"rule"""" but that doesn't make it set it stone like fainting, which is the main feature and draw of a fricking nuzlcoke and helps define it as one.
If your pendantic ass wanted to call it something different it would still be a "locke" kind of playthrough.
>No the issue if that you're a bunch of fricking autists.
We're talking about a challenge run in Pokemon. Yes. The catching part is required. If it's not there, it's not a nuzlocke. End of.
Sure. But the defining trait of a "nuzlocke" isn't "hey let's only catch the first Pokemon on a given rotue" is it? That's not what people think of when you mention what a "Nuzlocke" is
Even if you wanted to say how it's not a "real" nuzlocke, it's still part of the locke family, and what people would think of.
>But the defining trait of a "nuzlocke" isn't "hey let's only catch the first Pokemon on a given rotue" is it
Yes it is.
>That's not what people think of when you mention what a "Nuzlocke" is
Yes they do.
There's no argument to even be had here, it's like you're trying to claim the sky is green. You're just wrong.
Yes anon, the defining feature of a goddamn nuzlocke is that you can only catch the first Pokemon a route and nothing else.
There's not another feature in a Nuzlocke that people think of when they hear the word and helps define what it is and gives them their challenge in the first
No, it's the fricking catching that's the defining trait of a nuzlocke
Yes, that is one of the two defining features of a nuzlocke. Losing Pokemon doesn't mean shit if you can just go catch another one, you fricking tard.
>Yes anon, the defining feature of a goddamn nuzlocke is that you can only catch the first Pokemon a route and nothing else.
And that your Pokémon dies for good if it faints.
And that you have to give them a nickname.
>But the defining trait of a "nuzlocke" isn't "hey let's only catch the first Pokemon on a given rotue" is it?
It is one of the two, yes. The other being that your pokemon get thrown out if they faint. Those are the two rules.
Because losing your fricking starter and replacing it with a goddamn Zigzagoon sure is balanced and makes it easy huh?
Yes anon, you're getting it. Slowly, but you're getting it. Now imagine if every single pokemon was just as valuable and irreplaceable as your starter.
Anon, my point was it doesn't that much of a goddamn difference when most encounters in a route are shit unless you actually go out and hunt for them.
And again, the catching isn't key definer of what a Nuzlocke or "locke" is. It's there to help the challange sure, but it doesn't define it.
It absolutely does define it. It is part of the definition you are factually incorrect.
No it doesn't. People don't think of how you catch the fricking Pokemon when you mention a Nuzlocke
The only people thinking that way are those who don't know what a nuzlocke is, simple as
Everyone but you does. Every single person except for you knows what the rules of a nuzlocke are. You are the only moron arguing for a blantantly incorrect definition.
The catching limitation is just as important to a nuzlocke as the releasing rule is, it's a core component to the difficulty and strategy of the challenge. The type of challenge you're talking about is an Ironman, not a nuzlocke
Catching is only as important as the player puts in, by standard nuzlocke "rules' you can still have your box filled with shitmons you're never going to use
And again the main challange of a nuzlocke is you not wanting your Pokemon to die, you actually knowing the battles and the game, and working around it.
>ironman
What? Sorry I not that well versed in game challenges, but when the frick was that ever a thing?
>What? Sorry I not that well versed in game challenges, but when the frick was that ever a thing?
ironman is a thing taken from strategy rpgs like fire emblem with permadeath, basically means no resetting to get your characters back in those but with pokemon it's basically nuzlocke without the catching restriction. has been a thing since before even nuzlockes.
Most people don't even know what that is and this is literally I've even heard
BUT by that metric I suppose you can say what I'm describing is an ironman and not a "nuzlocke"
Though you'd be hard pressed to find anyone in any Pokemon circles you know what the frick an ironman.
Just because you're an ignorant moron doesn't mean the rest of the world is. Ironman, solo challenges, minimum battles, low level, etc are all types of challenges that have existed for over 20 years now. You literally don't belong in this conversation.
ironman comes from marvel dumbfrick
g8 b8 m8
:"The rest of the world" isn't Ganker anon.
Nothing I listed has anything to do with Ganker. Most of them predate Ganker.
For sure, Ganker is the only place I've seen someone who doesn't know what an ironman is.
nuzlocke too
>Though you'd be hard pressed to find anyone in any Pokemon circles you know what the frick an ironman.
No I'm sure people do know about it. Ironman isn't a term exclusive to Pokemon either.
>A bunch of literal whos
Sure showed me
Anon, anyone who uses the term since before 2004 aren't in as great as numbers as you think
That's not the point. The point is these have been common terminology in any community that do challenge runs since the early 2000's until now. Frick man, Paradox's 4x games have built in ironman options in the settings. You being ignorant doesn't mean that those terms don't exist or are unknown to the rest of the community.
TWO
FRICKING
RULES
>I not that well versed in game challenges
Yeah no shit moron. Maybe do a bit more research before chatting shite about things you know frick all about
an ironman is when you play through a permadeath fire emblem game without any resets
A nuzlock can literally be whatever you want it to be. All a nuzlock is is a self imposed challenge. Want to nickname them? Go ahead. Want to catch a many on one route? Sure thing. Want to go out of your way to catch a rare Pokémon instead of the first one you see? Sounds great. I don't know why you people are acting like such elitist gate keepers about a fan creation. Anything can be a nuzlock if it fits the player's preference
Because you want to be using the phrase "challenge run" instead of "nuzlocke" which is a specific type of challenge run. Lots of people call anything a Nuzlocke because it has grown as a catchall term for challenge runs in pokemon, but that's only an excuse for 12 year olds that literally don't know better.
Youre arguing semantics in an autistic challenge for a childrens game.
Yes. And you're wrong about the specific terminology for autistic challenges in a childrens game yet committed to not gracefully admitting your ignorance on an anonymous forum with no repercussions or blows to your ego. Try it sometime.
AND IF YOU CAN'T HUNT FOR THE GOOD POKEMON, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO?
What am I reading?
Someone who has never done a nuzlocke and doesn't understand what makes a nuzlocke a nuzlocke and only knows of them through content creators who don't follow the rules but still call their shit a nuzlocke.
Yes they DO.
NO THEY DON'T
Nobody give a flying frick about how Pokemon are caught,
You care because you're autists who chose to care about this bullshit to this degree for some reason.
You're attacking Ganker culture right now. I want you to understand that. That's why everyone cares enough to correct you, you're denigrating Ganker's self created way to play the game.
Neither is "nuh uh no it isn't"
As the other guy above you said. You're talking about an ironman run.
>You care because you're autists who chose to care about this bullshit to this degree for some reason.
You dumb motherfricker, you shit eating cretin, you cum guzzling dumpster child. Who do you think made up the rules in the first place? Of course it was autists who the frick else would come up with self imposed rules to make a baby game harder. Autism is the core of how nuzlocke came to be. On top of that where do you think you're posting? This is the autism pit, why are you in the autism pit if you don't want to deal with autism? What the frick is wrong with you?
I accept your concession.
And what exactly did I concede, o brainless one?
Some zoomer moron throwing a fit because he's wrong.
thats the point dipshit, you end up having to make teams you wouldnt normally do and you have a lose condition so you gotta plan for shit its not supposed to be easy
What the frick do you think the point of a CHALLENGE run is you unbelievable moron. Tell me you didn't seriously just post that.
And what would you call a nuzlocke-like run? Even if you wouldn't call it a real nuzlocke if it has enough Nuzlocke elements ie the fainting and releaseing, then you would still define that particular kind of challenge run some kind of nuzlocke.
>And what would you call a nuzlocke-like run?
That's exactly what I would call it, nuzlocke-like or nuzlocke-lite. The name nuzlocke is used to describe a specific run the follows specific rules you can't use it for something that doesn't follow said rules, that would need a different name.
>Because losing your fricking starter and replacing it with a goddamn Zigzagoon sure is balanced and makes it easy huh?
Yes?
Look, if you don't have the one pokemon rule then the death rule becomes worthless because you can just farm for poke balls to catch as many pokemon as you want to replace it.
>she doesn't know about linoone belly drum
i'll kill off my own starter for a fricking zubat
>But the defining trait of a "nuzlocke" isn't "hey let's only catch the first Pokemon on a given rotue" is it?
That's literally what makes it a challenge. If you can catch as much as you want then the whole thing is moot.
And what does it matter if most of the Pokemon you catch are shit anyway?
And the point of Pokemon in general is you being attached to your Pokemon, and you don't WANT your Pokemon to die, that's also part of the challenge.
If you play it like all Pokemon are disposable then it doesn't fricking matter how you play, because Pokemon games are piss easy and if you just think of them like mechanics and know how the game works you'll still win anyway.
Congratulations you joyless butthole, you turned this whimsical world of monster into a fricking chore
you're a fricking moron, dude.
Not an argument.
Do you know understand what the word "challenge" means?
>Congratulations you joyless butthole, you turned this whimsical world of monster into a fricking chore
Yeah that's why I don't do nuzlocke runs, they're an awful way to play. That said I still know what the fricking rules are.
The idea is to force people to use Pokemon they wouldn't normally use, there is basically a "formula" that the midwit who likes Nuzlockes follows for single player Pokemon: Starter, Regional Bird, two Pokemon of the type matching unpicked starters, electric type, pseudo legendary if available. Having that rule makes it impossible to do that.
>Having that rule makes it impossible to do that.
Hardly. Most tradional nuzlocke runs still end up with the usual faces you would've seen anyway
This post is hilarious because it shows how weak willed you are, let's break it down.
>And what does it matter if most of the Pokemon you catch are shit anyway?
That's part of the challenge, if you roll Caterpie/Rattata/Spearow then that's what you need to work with. If your Pokemon are "weak" then its up to you to bring the best out of them.
>And the point of Pokemon in general is you being attached to your Pokemon
But your attachment only goes as far as their stats, clearly. That shitty Pidove could actually turn out to be a massive bro if you gave him a chance. The fun thing about Nuzlockes is that they force you to use Pokemon you'd never consider otherwise, and in turn get attached to them.
>If you play it like all Pokemon are disposable
But you can't do that on a Nuzlocke, there are only so many routes and so many chances to get a Pokemon, if one dies then you need to start the leveling process all over again also.
Here, lemme give you a story.
>Pkmn Emerald run
>have a decent team by Watson's gym
>fill my last slot with a Marill but don't use it because who cares
>get absolutely FRICKED by Watson, everyone dies except this shitty Marill
>said Marill evolves and ends up wrecking shit, becomes my new starter and carries me as I rebuild my team
>run ends up failing at the E4, but I never forgot that Marill (RIP Azarai)
>Azumarill is now one of my top favorites
And I have plenty of other stories just like this, Nuzlockes are the best way to make you appreciate Pokemon you would overlook via the 'catch the first encounter' rule. If you ignore this rule, you're actually fricking yourself out of future bros in favor of literally just a generic challenge run, it shits on the very spirit of a Nuzlocke.
So yes, it DOES matter even if most of the Pokemon you catch are shit. You don't understand the literal first thing abut Nuzlockes, get out of here.
Do people tend to port their dead mons and final teams onwards to later games?
Depends, but I do.
If I played on cart I absolutely would have transferred her but since it was emulated I just have a competitive Azu named after the real OG.
You're contradicting yourself, if the games are piss easy then there shouldn't be any shit Pokemon.
>Again the see logic behind the "1st encounter" """"rule"""" but that doesn't make it set it stone like fainting
What the frick are you even trying to say? Of course it's set in stone, you moron
Says fricking who?
Did the webcomic creator give out hand-outs saying his way is the ONLY fricking it can be done?
yes
>The ONLY way it stops being in anyway a Nuzlocke is if you use fainted Pokemon again
How are you not getting this?
There are two rules in a Nuzlocke
>catch one pokemon per route
>if a pokemon faints, release it
If you're missing one of those two rules then you aren't doing a Nuzlocke.
Fine, you aren't doing the nuzlocke the way it's "supposed" to be done by a decade and a half old webcomic from /vp/
Happy?
That webcomic is literally the definition for what a nuzlocke is, you're either trolling or genuinely brain damaged
>you can add and subtract rules as you wish,
You can add rules sure but once you remove the core rules it stops being a Nuzlocke.
>Let me guess, you fancy yourself as something like a "pro" Nuzocker
Never done a Nuzlocke in my life, the point is that there are specific rules for a Nuzlockes. You can't just call any challenge a Nuzlocke if it doesn't use those rules. That's what's being said here
But you're too illiterate and autistic to understand that.
Look, just tell me you're baiting and I'll give it up, it was a good one. I don't believe you're this dumb.
I accept your concession
Are you being moronic on purpose? If you're doing a challenge where you can't use items and there were no other rules other than that would you call it a no item run or a single pokemon run?
>Nuzlockes are SELF IMPOSSED you gay, just because "the first" one did it like that doesn't mean they all have to,
Then it's not a fricking nuzlocke, it's an entirely different challenge run.
Huh? This is being needlessly obtuse, if they retain the same general basic format of "one pkmn per route, release if dies" then it should still count as a Nuzlocke, for example a very common clause people add is "no dupes" where you get a re-roll if you run into a Pokemon you've already caught which was done when RSE runs were all the rage but people were sick and tired of having 4 Zigzagoons on their team. Other rules are things like no items or being unable to leave the gym once you enter it, etc.
Saying these are suddenly entirely different things, separate from Nuzlockes, despite them all conforming to the most essential Nuzlocke rule of "release if dies" is just splitting hairs and makes it needlessly complicated.
anon, the moron we're talking about is saying that not keeping those rules still makes it a nuzlocke
Oh, sorry, you're right, that's not a nuzlocke, that's just a challenge run.

Are you all being moronic on purpose?
Did you just use the same line someone used on you?
How pathetic can you get?
Because you're taking my argument and using it to imply something I didn't fricking mean or intend.
And again, Nuzlockes are self impossed there's no goddamn rulebook about them
JUST BECAUSE IT'S SELF IMPOSED DOESN'T MEAN THERE AREN'T RULES.
The only fricking rule is if you faint you can't use it anymore
At what point did I say otherwise? The only thing I said was it didn't have to include the first catch on a route rule, and even then I conceded if you wanted to be basic about it, can still count as a hard rule
Your autstic ass is looking for things to b***h about.
>The only fricking rule is if you faint you can't use it anymore
No, that is NOT the only rule.
>The only thing I said was it didn't have to include the first catch on a route rule
Then its not a nuzlocke anymore, you're bending the established rule to make it so you can catch your favorite on route 3 or whatever, but that's not a nuzlocke, sorry.
>b-b-b-b-but theres no rules!
The very definition of a Nuzlocke is found right here
, this is the golden standard, removing one of these rules removes the status of nuzlocke from your run.
>and using it to imply something I didn't fricking mean or intend.
Look, unless you accept the fact that there are specific rules for Nuzlockes then everyone is going to call you out as the braindead Slug you are.
Are you an idiot? All Nuzlockes are self imposed challenges, but not all self imposed challenges are Nuzlockes. If you remove the rules of only catch 1st thing and release if faint, you're not doing a nuzlocke anymore, you're doing a self imposed challenge, yeah, but then it falls out of the category of nuzlocke.
You don't understand the concept of doing a specific challenge run. A nuzlocke does, in fact, have at minimum two rules. First, pokemon get thrown away if they faint. Second, you may only catch one pokemon per route. Everyone except for you and your little walnut brain agrees that these rules are what a nuzlocke is. If your run does not folloe these rules, it is not a nuzlocke.
*follow
You forgot the shiny clause, b***h homie
I'm unaware of the shiny clause. If you see a shiny you can catch it I guess?
pretty much. you can also use it if you already have the same species
Yeah, it's more of a "you'd have to be a dumbass to pass up a free shiny lmao" kinda rule because I've never actually heard of anyone running into a shiny during a locke.
that is the most stupid thing i heard
go big or go the frick home
Hey dumbfrick at least make a coherent point if you're going to call me moronic, what are you even trying to say?
>if they retain the same general basic format of "one pkmn per route, release if dies" then it should still count as a Nuzlocke
I agree, that isn't what was being argued
That anon is saying that ANY challenge is a Nuzlocke even if it lacks the core rules of a Nuzlocke.
If they change the rules then it isn't a nuzlocke you fricking clown
Nonce means pedo not moronic. I know you might say they are synonyms but isn’t a good idea to weaken such an important distinction.
Of course the Twitter thread would have Twitter leaking in it

It's funny how much of a short leash TPCi keep him on ever since they went after him for pirating BW and leaking it's pokedex. Wouldn't be surprised if they preprepare news for him to report at this point with just how much of a bootlicker he is now.
That didn't actually happen.
It's funny how he can't use the "they just want more attention" route because the video clipped has no links to their podcast nor was it either of them who posted the video to twitter. I had to scroll a bit to actually find the video.

Kind of want to play more rom hacks, haven't played one in a long time.
What's everyone's favorite pokemon romhack?
Moemon
Is Moemon only a cosmetic hack or does it change gameplay stuff
nuzlocke was invented by the hacker known as Ganker, it's a reasonable thing to assume pokemon doesn't want to be associated with him but it's also unreasonable to assume pokemon is being reasonable, reasonably speaking
Most people don't realize Ash's charmander, and chimchar were nuzlocke pokemon which ash picked up from the wild. Nuzlocke players are quite harsh with their pokemon if they were to fail
>anime
Don't care.
>Most people don't realize Ash's charmander, and chimchar were nuzlocke pokemon which ash picked up from the wild.
That's because they're the exact opposite of nuzlocke style mons, they're comp rejects.
In a Nuzlocke you're stuck with what you get and get attached if they die, with comp mon legit breeding is throwing away pokemon an releasing them because they aren't fit for your needs.
No, their original trainers were shitters who couldn't bring out their full potential.
Is there such a thing as pokemon, but for someone who hates fairies, hates nintendo, and wants something 100% anti-pokemon?

Big fricking talk coming from the people letting a known Earthbound ROM hacker write their fricking music.

they are improved and retain popularity for over 20 years?
Occasional reminder that the most ethical thing you can do as a gamer is to pirate all possible Nintendo games and never give a cent to them or Gamefreak. You are actively helping the industry by doing this
I hate Pokémon so much it's unreal. They don't deserve shit.
I dislike Nuzlockes, but even I find this bullshit and too far.
Games Rating E/PEGI 3. Some people want to do challenges with the game they bought.
There is also HYPOCRISY in my eyes., Fire Emblem does the same concept as Nuzlockes, And is a staple. So Nintendo & Pkmn company saying it's just as bad as rom hacks is bullshit.
I am now going to keep pirating pokemon games, frick you nintendo, frick you pokemon company, I am still gonna try to get a Decidueye Plush from a Third Party Though.
You're an idiot anon, it's not the idea of challenge runs but just the name because it's associated with Ganker, you know, here, the place that regularly dumps new pokemon games and shares leaks.
Basically this is a lot like the situation with the marvel game that was supposed to have samus in it, the Nintendo minute guys used the wrong words and they rejected the proposal.
Your a moron, nobody outside of Ganker associates it with Ganker.
GOOD, nuzlocke was always the dumbest shit ever conceived. All these years I still can't believe gays did that stupid shit.
Is this some moronic suit not understanding what is meant by nuzlocke?
Good. Let the franchise implode, let all those 30 yros in israelitetubes making videos about nutslock hang.

Speaking of ROM hacks, what's the best Gen 3 ROM hack? I'm about to take on the Elite 4 in Omega Fire Red. Is Omega Emerald worth playing?
>I'm about to take on the Elite 4 in Omega Fire Red.
Based OmegaFireRedbro, I'm doing a Nuzlocke there too and I'm one step away from wiping at Erika, I only have three Pokémon. kek
I only have two, Jynx and Houndoom. I'm dreading going to face the Elite Four with just those two and I really don't feel like grinding others. But I guess I'm going to fill out the rest of my team with Swampert, Blaziken, possibly Aerodactyl or Crobat. Maybe add Gengar as a wildcard.
The only issue I have with Omega Fire Red is the grinding.
TPC and Game Freak gave up on making good games over ten years ago, who gives a frick what they think
What is it with massive devs and having so much active hatred and vitriol of their fanbases, the hubris is fricking obscene.

>just play a nuzlocke xD
Dont the autists play with nuzlocke romhacks anyway?
Yes I saw another anon suggest that it is "hack adjacent" content and that along with it implying that Pokemon can die in normal battles (they can't) is why Nintendo is against it.
>play nuzlocke
>someone tells me that's wrong
>keep playing nuzlocke
I'm really bemused by all the drama this is kicking up. Why does it matter what someone else thinks of you playing a single player game?
You're not playing a nuzlocke, you're playing an ironman.
This is just a new one of the many events demonstrating just how much Nintendo and TPCI absolutely despise their fans underneath their happy-go-lucky facade
The only thing that confuses me about nuzlockes is how you're supposed to do them when these games don't let you have multiple save files.
I don't wanna wipe my game to do a meme run.
Most people just play on emulator.
The only time it became viable for hardware games is switch due to profiles.
Show me one example of The Pokemon Company banning a player because they did a nuzlocke, or frick off back to twitter.
I just want a pokemon game that isn't a fricking handholding experience that I can beat with 1 pokemon. Difficulty hacks take it way too fricking far with giving every single pokemon the best coverage with the best IV/EV with the best items and breaking the theme of the trainer like a swimming trainer purposely having pokemon that aren't water or related to water that exist just to counter what you would normally bring to counter that trainer type.
say one hack who does that
Esl moment
>Difficulty hacks take it way too fricking far
say one
inclement emerald is riddled with that
There's that one Emerald hack that's just all double battles. Quite literally can't beat it with just one Pokemon.
Pokemon altered platinum is a better version of renegade platinum. I think it's a reasonable difficulty but you can't just tear through the game with your starter.
You also have access to all starters and a wide variety of pokemon in general and there are no EVs.
Additionally, all shit/mediocremons have been buffed to being actually useful.
My final team was typhlosion, bellossom, sinnoh roserade, sinnoh porgon, jirachi, and umbreon.
I'll check it out anon, currently playing through inclement emerald and it's not been a fun experience, at all but I'm almost done so I'm just powering through it.
It's clear from the treehouse homosexuals that TPC doesn't "consider" this anything, they just said "hey can we do a nuzlocke run" to suits who had no idea what that was, googled it, first thing that came up was randomizer romhacks, so they said frick off. I fricking hate Pokemon and TPC, but anyone assuming or interpreting intent from TPC on this is just as autistic as these homosexuals for assuming some japanese execs would know what the frick nuzlocke means.
Joe is unironically correct but he's such an butthole I don't care.

A ton of them
When gays stream they tend to play them to cut the tedium out.
Similarly to all the morons in here who didnt know they originated from Ganker, people probably at this point DO associate them with romhacks
They didn't originate fro Ganker you idiot it was made by poketubers

I'll have a propaganda as your areshole
I would post the minor spelling mistake gif again if I could
nuzlocke is dumb tbh how about just playing a difficult game instead of making up rules for a children's game
because i like children's games
Because you get to enjoy a game you like with more difficulty.
But the children's game is cute and happy 🙂
This just makes hacking and ROM hacks seem more legitimate
My dad works at Nintendo so here's the straight dick: the Nintengays googled that shit and found some ROM hacks, and because they're all women and sọyfaces with zero self-control, they assumed everyone uses those hacks, or else they would immediately cheat.
My dad works at Nintendo and honestly he just hates youtubers and streamers so tells them all "no" as a blanket answer
I'll never get the fun of Nuzlocke in a game that has crits.
Without crits, any situation in the game is mathematically solvable. The point of crits is to add randomness and force you to make choices. For example: Do you go for that finishing blow on that pokemon despite being in lethal range to a crit or do you switch, causing one of your party members to potentially take big damage which may impact them later in the fight?
Not a furry but Nidorina is cute.
what's that rom hack that makes pokemon digixros
If you are new to Pokemon, what are the best entries to start with and introduce yourself to it?
Literally any of them.
I would have said hgss when wifi was a thing but now idk. Probably still hgss but I'm nostalgiac. Many will say emerald but I don't like gen 3.
Anything pre-gen 3 is not a good entry point if you want to play 4 or higher.
I have not played past 7 btw, currently gen 9 is coming out.
FireRed/LeafGreen are solid entry points BUT do not have the physical/special split which is a core part of the game.
Black/White are also solid starting points.
Don't touch any mainline game after B2/W2, especially the abominations know as Sword/Shield.
Gen 3 up to Black and White will offer the best experience. Anything new is fricking RIDDLED with cutscenes and intense handholding and it makes you unable to really enjoy the game. anything before gen 3 and you're basically playing a different game due to battle mechanic differences but that doesn't make them bad games.
>Gen 3 up to Black and White
BW2 and XY were the last ones that felt like pokemon games imo. Even if XY was way too easy it was still very fun. The next ones aren't bad but they aren't very good either. The mere fact that I found the DLC way more fun than the main game in SwSh pissed me off.
>XY
XY unironically feels like a fricking romhack.
XY had some of the best designs in a while. I only really started hating them in s&m.
Some of the backgrounds were very nice too.
Imagine if the game was still sprite based but with the more detailed 3d backgrounds.
And then of course the gameplay was dogshit even further simplified from gen 5 which was already on a downward trajectory.
I've seen others say it too before, I guess it's because of the selection of pokemon early on? It's something I really liked.
>early on?
the entire game. every route has nothing but completely unique encounters. It feels like a national dex romhack trying to squeeze every single pokemon into the game (and still manages to fail). why the hell wouldn't i just play a romhack at that point?
>POKEMON IN POKEMON GAME BAD
people are trying really hard to make up reasons to hate XY, huh?
>game feels like a fan imitation more than an actual product
>YOU'RE JUST GRASPING FOR STRAWS AREN'T YOU
Suck the GameFreak dick, anon.
>it feels like a fan imitation because it's actually good instead of spamming bidoof and machoke and graveler everywhere
based XY
Except it's not good. In fact, the aspects about fan games that XY adapted are easily the worst aspects of fan games.
Like having... too many pokemon in them? Too much variety? I don't think we're on the same team of fangame design problems.
>this is the IQ of an XY hater
feels good to be an XY chad
>no consistency
>no identity
yes, the negative aspects of fan games
>Anything new is fricking RIDDLED with cutscenes
BW is literally riddled with stoppages too, the series died after Gen IV. HGSS are the peak and anyone who says otherwise is wrong.
>BW is literally riddled with stoppages too
Not really, just the beginning and end of a handful of cities. The amount of stops is in bw is overstated.
HGSS and up
>Mogs pro smash trannies
>Now mogging "professional nuzlockers"
Nintendo is extremely based
stupid and gay
TPC is moronic and Ishihara should drown in a puddle.
I never understood the overwhelming popularity of nuzlockes, the permadeath aspect is just annoying and I never needed some arbitrary catching rule to force me to use random pokemon. I tried doing a nuzlocke twice and I just gave up on it half way through both times because it's pointless.
Imagine being a fan of Pokémon

Damn, journos finally realized that Kit & Krysta have been doing a podcast and revealing a lot of good shit.
Like the Twitter never does "hints" or anything, or why videos get pulled down (music licensing).
So Nintendo adjacent companies are just as moronic about this as Nintendo, big shocker.
TPCi is the Disney of vidya
There are people who make their fursona soimon
Lol nintendies lol
>Yes imma pretty heckin pikachu!
>Oh no Nintendo owns my soul now
>Yikes!
Lmao
Hope you anons enjoy GTA's humor getting butchered now.
>Nintendo treehouse goofballs ask if they can do a segment about releasing pokemon and restarting in a soi series designed to get people emotionally attached to pixels
>Get called promptly moronic
>Journocucks spin this into REEEEEE NINTENDO'S GONNA SHUT DOWN MY SELF-IMPOSED HANDICAP RUN
>Nooooo, you're not allowed to have any feelings about games other than "it was fun" or "it fricking sucked"
Eat a bowl of dicks..
You're a moron. Presenting Pokemon as expendable creatures in a video game that you should delete or release without guilt is antithetical to their business strategy. They want you to see your pokemon as digital pets or friends.
The entire point of nuzlocke is to make Pokemon even less expendable. It relies on the fact that you're already forming a bond to make the self-imposed challenge of letting them "die" even more impactful.
>The entire point of nuzlocke is to make Pokemon even less expendable
It's not though.
>release a pokemon when it faints
Yeah that's not how TPC and Nintendo want you to see your pokemon.
>b-b-b-b-but you form le bond
Yeah so does the kid who has his overleveled charizard carry him through the entire game, your point?
>Your Pokemon are literally irreplaceable for the most part, but somehow this doesn't make them less interchangeable
Lol
>that's not how TPC and Nintendo want you to see your pokemon
Like I give a frick how they want me to see Pokemon when they make shit like Swoosh.
>so does the kid who has his overleveled charizard carry him through the entire game
And he can form the bond that easily because he is a kid, your point?
>is to make Pokemon even less expendable
A key strategy of nuzlocking is using shitters as shields for your actually important pokemon.

>pass user
holy moron, i kneel
You can't just capture little girls and keep them in a virtual box.
And who's going to stop me?
can I get a list of joe merricks errors?
They dislike it because they dislike people playing the game in a way that makes people ask for an official version.
Every game is an official version.
No I meant as in ask for an official version of the game with a mode to select a nuzloke.
Even if they added one, they wouldn't call it that and it would just piss off all the autists
Obviously they'd call it their own thing
ironmon is better anyway, and is a romhack essentially
>Self-imposed gameplay rules
>On the same level as ROM Hacks
The subhumans at Nintendo are utterly fricked in the head, lmao.
>refuses to put difficulty mode and is against the idea of self imposed challenges
Hilarious, when you know that your game will sell no matter what, you can say and do whatever you want. But i think we all know this is really just them being against people that make video content with their games
Okay I'm curious, have you ever gotten a reply?
