That is how much this game traumatized me. The difficulty curve of this game is kind of ridiculous, and it should give you some sort of idea of what I'm talking about when I tell you that my first time through this game, on a standard, non-nuzlocke run, my starting pokemon was over level FORTY before I even got all the way through mount moon. This means you cannot buy ANYTHING until you get to Pewter City, which doesn't sound so bad until you try to go through Viridian forest and are deeply traumatized, as I was on my first playthrough. This is not the case, and I present to you part one of the reason the first part of this game is almost absurdly difficult with the grass starter (or just.in general): The game fatally crashes if you attempt to give Professor Oak his package and get the pokedex. FISHERMAN SIR.Īlright, so you might have been wondering why I declared that the nuzlocke rules don't apply until I can buy pokeballs, or expect the nuzlocke to start as soon as I get the pokedex. Hi! I do not remember you being here in the original game. The first thing I do upon arriving in Viridian City is talk to this guy: I got a potion from this guy and totally forgot to screenshot it, my bad. Honestly, I'm surprised I won this on my first try: every other time I've played this game, I've lost several times before I finally beat him, and I always save before I try it for that reason. Note that even using the potion, I finished this battle with only 3 HP. The charmander, by the by, is still in fairly high orange health.įINALLY. I have no idea how the creator of this hack managed it, but this battle is basically impossible without that potion and really hard WITH IT. This is after each of us has used ONE TACKLE. Also, BLESS WHATEVER PROMPTED THE CREATOR OF THIS HACK TO START YOU OFF WITH A LUCKY EGG.Īnyway, onto the rival battle, which is completely ridiculous: You will see why picking Laureline makes this almost absurdly difficult presently. I've used all three, but because I am me and also because I have to make the pre-nuzlocke part of this as difficult as possible, I am choosing Treeko: This is actually a thing that weirds me out about moemon: I love it because it's adorable, but sometimes people take it to a really creepy place I don't appreciate at all. La-di-la, we all know this song and dance, now we get to the starters: You may take me to your lab and give me one, now. Now, before we start the plot going, there is one VERY IMPORTANT THING WE MUST DO: I wanted to, but there was not enough space. Spoiler Part 1: In Which A Nuzlocke Is Prepared For And I Grind More Than Most People Would Believe Possible. None of the above rules apply until I can buy pokeballs. If, by some chance, I encounter a shiny pokemon, I may catch it and use it.ģ. If there are no new pokemon on a route, I do not get a catch for that route.Ģb. No Dupes Clause: If I have caught any pokemon in the evolutionary line (that I am aware of at the time) of my first encounter, I may not catch that pokemon, even if the first pokemon is already dead. If I have used all the pokemon on a route, then this changes to just 'the first pokemon I encounter.'Ģa. I can only catch the first pokemon I encounter on each route which I have never used before in this hack. If this happens in a trainer battle, I must redo the battle (I shall be saving before every battle I fight when my cat is in the room.)Ģ. Any deaths that occur as a result of my cat walking across the keyboard do not count. If I decide to try and battle it, then the death counts, but fainting while trying to flee random LEVEL 99 WILD POKEMON in PEWTER CITY is just bovine fecal matter and I do not accept that.ġb. Any pokemon that faint against a ludicrously overleveled wild pokemon I am trying to run from do not count as dead. If a pokemon faints, it is dead and must go in the box forever.ġa.
So I might have trouble screenshotting anything that doesn't stay on screen until I hit A. Please note that I have never done this (meaning documented a run) before, and also that due to technical difficulties, taking screenshots is rather more cumbersome that it might otherwise be.
