I finally Attempted my First Pokémon Nuzlocke...

To defend my title as 'World's Greatest' I set out to beat some of gaming's hardest challenges, and what better way to start than with a Nuzlocke of Pokémon SoulSilver?

[@niaxeno]

Chat calling you a cheater for not using species clause is cringe. Play however you want, it's a self-imposed challenge run. Great run! You weren't scared to sack your pokemon when you needed to and was generally able to recognize your mistakes, especially in the early game. If you do another one, I encourage you to take the candy pill, it makes downtime so much more bearable imo (though it can sometimes make Johto in particular awkward with level caps in the mid game).

[@colossalweeb]

Also it was shiny gyarados so depending on who you are. Shiny clause overrides species clause. But then again species clause only allows you to reroll encounters. You can choose to catch duplicates if you want. Even if you follow the fake rules that Don't matter you'd be fine doing this.

[@mininini1451]

So how I do species clause personally is that I can catch a mon in the same family if i never got it before. So in this case, losing magikarp and getting gya later is literally how I allow myself to do things aha

[@highdefinition450]

one variation is that if the pokemon died, you have to catch it again if it pops up so they're mega stupid lol

[@SilentHotdog28]

I mean it's up to the Nuzlocker how they want to do their nuzlocke, I go with my own discretion, so if I've already caught a pokemon and it died, then I come across it again, If I want to catch it I catch it, if I don't want to, I reroll.

[@Chmmr]

7:19 just wanted to mention that even if you couldn't nickname the prize pokemon when you got it, that same city also has the Name Rater at the top left, which allows you to change the nickname of any pokemon you own, so you could instantly go there and give the prize a proper nickname

[@Shockwave377]

I was just about to say that

[@houseplant8540]

Are you able to do that with prize mons? There's a feature that if a mon isn't your og pokemon you can't rename it, but idk if prize mons count as someone else's og mon?

[@RoseWovenScythe]

Btw, most species clause rules are just there so you're not FORCED to catch a duplicate of a pokemon. You can always choose to catch it anyways

[@aereon_gaming]

For me personally, species clause is forced so you cannot catch dupes at all. Otherwise I'd just use an entire team of Gyarados because it's busted in nuzlockes and you can catch Magikarp everywhere.

Species clause is a clause for a reason, it's an optional addition to the basics of a nuzlocke. And since this is voids first one ever and Dr Charles Nastington the 1st had an early and avoidable demise if he just used rare candies (because also optional), I don't see a problem

[@jlyn608]

Quick note on the species clause thing? Chat was ALSO wrong about how it's implemented. Species clause means no duplicates of pokemon you've *owned*, specifically. Originally, this was to keep people from ending up with five zubats and three ratata with two pidgeys. It's to let you "redo" first encounters that aren't unique. BUT VOID NEVER HAD A GYARADOS. So like... that's not even relevant! And also, species clause is not a *limitation*. It's an opt-in rule for letting people have *variety*. You have the CHOICE to skip a first encounter with a 'mon you've already owned, is all. It's an *exception* that's meant to be like "shiny clause," to keep people from "missing out." Just as shiny clause is to keep you from needing to kill off shinies, dupes clause (the more descriptive name for 'species clause') is meant to be a way for people to not feel like they're cheated out of getting a "new" encounter. If y'all are gonna be cringe rules lawyers, at least know the actual purpose for those rules, and why they exist to begin with! But anyways, super cool run! Always rad to see the learning experience for different games. Let's go, Void.

[@FreyCheqama]

Let's go, VoiD! And as for those that were lost along the way, I'm sorry. And good job.

[@ryanmcpherson2001]

It was super hype to see you play your first nuzlocke. You played pretty well and i look forward to you playing more nuzlockes. If you do, i encourage you to use level caps, and to "take the rare candy pill" as Pokemon challenges put it

[@ryanmcpherson2001]

Oh and species clause is highly recommended, that way you can build a more unique team.

[@typhlosion7872]

You could've still got a game corner pokemon. The name rater is in Goldenrod, so you can immediately name it. If you ever try to improve on runs or revisit this in the future, biggest tips I can give are start at night (with proper encounter routing, you can get all of Hoothoot, Ratatta, Geodude, Zubat, Bellsprout, and Gastly guaranteed without having to risk Pidgey or Sentret. And Hoothoot is much better than Pidgey just because of the possibility of Insomnia allowing it to ignore Hypnosis RNG against Morty) and delay Union Cave until a Friday when you have Surf so you can get Lapras. Shell Armor Lapras is the only real counter to Clair's Sniper Kingdra, but Water Absorb still helps a ton in playing around her Kingdra if you don't get Shell Armor, but even other than Claire, it's incredibly strong. Thunderbolt access lets it excell against several water types while walling most of them and it naturally does good against Pryce, Brock, Blaine, and Lance. Super consistent overall

[@an-albinocrow33808]

I recommend using the name rater in your next run. If no one in chat told you, it's an npc (usually in a house in a town) that let's you change the nickname of your pokemon so long as they have a matching trainer ID. So the only way you can't rename is from an in game trades. Allows you to diversify your roster or keep a pokemon if you accidentally spam through the give nickname option upon catching something. Regardless, congrats on your first win Mr. World's Best

[@Bub98]

LMAO not the dabuz bellsprout 👁👄👁

[@ZetaNiGHT]

Made some really good use of switches to circumvent the drawbacks of the 'no battle items' rule, great thinking on the fly, man. Seeing you learn pivot-switching in real time was pretty sick haha. And YEAHH IMO Clair is SO much more brutal than Whitney is, relative to the part of the game when you fight each of them. Kingdra basically having no weaknesses is SO tough to get around.

[@xian3005]

Nice run Void! I feel like even though you struggled a bunch, you made a pretty good choice for a game and rules that was challenging for you and made you lose Pokémon, but was still possible for you to complete! There are definitely some games that could’ve made you experience so much worse (Ultra Sun and Moon is infamously ridiculous) That corndog fake out was messed up lol. Love all the Project Moon music dispersed through out too! Super underrated games.

Shiny clause overwrites species clause in my eyes

[@Itz_Jokester]

The way corndog had me on the edge of my seat is criminal

[@frog_goblin]

chat is just whining about species clause cause you didn’t play by the exact same strict nuzlocke rule-set the majority of youtubers play by. a clause, by definition, is an additional ruling; a stipulation. there is no claim that the species clause is necessary to play a nuzlocke. and honestly i’ve seen it most often used to get players out of having to catch duplicates of “bad” pokemon, like a caterpie on the first route and a metapod on the second, because they’re part of the same species. a nuzlocke is meant to be a challenge, not take the fun out of the game (even though for some reason twitch and youtube chats seem to think challenge is synonymous with torture). you broke no rules that you set out, you played the game how you wanted, and you made a great video! let them cry wolf and claim you cheated, because the video was a banger nonetheless. besides, shiny clause trumps species clause :P

I don't get people complaining about species clause. There is also something called shiny clause, which allows you to catch the Pokemon regardless if it's shiny. And of course as Void said, Nuzlockes are about having fun.

[@AniJunkerZ]

I do feel like species clause for Natrual magikarp/gyarados is kinda warranted considering how OP it would be otherwise, but most Nuzlockes have a separate rule that you can use any story Pokémon as long as it's nameable. Either way Nuzlockes rules are all player manually ran, they're not a real thing enforced within the game, and there's so many variations saying any One Rule is absolute is incredibly ludicrous to me.

[@Venemofthe888]

Wow those people complaining about species clause are really stupid since its a very popular OPTIONAL rule. Its up to the players disgression and technically the red gyarados is covered under shiny clause so people need to chill.
