Yes I love this series! You inspired me to start my own challenges.

Its pretty fun. The annoying part is remembering to press B to cancel evolutions. Might be fun to try. This can be done in any generation. It gives you a good variety of really weak pokemon to use.

[@oscarb4209]

I'd love to see a hardcore nuzlocke (of any game) with ANY types but max levelled to the lowest level of the gym leader rather than the highest. I think this adds a similar level of challenge if not a bit harder but adds a different kind of challenge for thinking about the battles themselves.

[@paulelderson934]

That would certainly be quite hard. But a lot more random too. The only thing that keeps you from ripping your hair out in these challenges is that you pretty much know which Pokemon/movesets you get to work with.

[@Thomirox]

hey, love your vids! Instead of a Monotype challenge, I'd like to see something weird. I'll give a few examples: - Using only pokemon with no evolutions - Using only middle evolutions - Normal nuzlocke rules for 1st encounter catching per route but can only catch male pokemon. - Basing your team on colors (like an entire team of yellow pokemon) - Using pokemon that no gym leader, E4 or champion uses. Although I like your monotype nuzlockes, this might result in more interesting teams / tactics / gameplay. I don't really mind the gen of games, but B2W2 are great games (although a bit on the longer side compared to FRLG). Keep it up!
