So, I Attempted a Pokémon Crystal Nuzlocke...

[@imneszha]

Haven't had enough of this run? Good, because there's also a video on its POSTGAME B) You can check it out right over here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJC4i314dtSnrrM

Aaahh this was a blast to watch! I looove the editing too xD AND PATWOTIE MVP!! ⚡

[@imneszha]

Thank you so much Croww I worked really hard on this! PATWOTIE STRONK

[@atwas]

Limiting the amount of pokemon you bring to boss fights is a really interesting rule. Cool run! I feel like you dont often get to see Electabuzz in Nuzlockes.

[@imneszha]

Thank you very much for the kind words

[@onekoff8480]

I had a similar idea, though a bit harder. I call it Gym Challenge. Like in this case, you can only use the amount of mons equal to gym leader and with level cap. However, once you enter the gym, you cannot exit until you beat the gym leader. That means you can't breeze through the gym trainers with all of your pokemon and come back prepared later - you have to do this with limited mons in one try, and not forget about level cap in the process. That makes Chuck's gym of all a great challenge, since his trainers have quite strong pokemon, most of which have decent coverage. And you have to beat them all with just two pokemon. I've also been thinking about item limitations in- and out- of battle, but I didn't come up with a decent formula yet.

​@@imneszhaI would've never guessed that you hadn't played since gen 3 considering your knowledge on pokemon moves and strategies. Good run 👍

[@imneszha]

Thank you so much! I put a lot of effort into this and it's amazing seeing that people are liking it c: Totodile is great!

[@RandoMattz]

adding dupes clause will help differenciating encounters and provide more strategy when mapping

[@saltylosertcg4042]

some may have said this but for advice for the future, fire spin, wrap, whirlpool, and other attacks like that stop locking you in once the mon who used it has fainted or swapped out so switching was an option on Miltank. Also, could always make a part two going to Red. Still a great video though!

[@imneszha]

Indeed! I was taught that about Fire Spin a little bit after posting the video hahah, you live and you learn right? I'm very close to finishing the script of the postgame, I'm really excited for it and I'm really really happy you enjoyed this one :)

[@kaleremmers7894]

Fire Spin and other trapping moves stop working after the Pokemon who used them (i.e. Clefairy) faint. So, your Croconaw was not trapped and you could have easily switched.

[@imneszha]

Wait you're telling me Irwin fell in vein? I don't think I can handle that information D: The more you know tho! I'm not a Pokémon Expert whatsoever so these fine details like that might get through me sometimes. Hope you still enjoyed tho!

Traded Onix (Rock) with bellsprout will help you get through the first 3 gyms easily with "Screech"

At the time having Bellsprout made more sense than having an Onix since I was short on grass Pokémon, but that could have been a good strat for sure!

So, in the interest of protecting future Totodiles, TM28 Dig is in the park and will reset the demon cow's Rollout. Funnily enough, nuzlocks have taught me to respect Morty more. Last one I think it was Fearow, Drowzee, Raticate, and almost Quilava before that Gengar's bloodlust was settled.

about caterpie, dupes clause exists.

Thank you so much! I really appreciated. Tbf we did take on Red in this run! I had a quick summary of post-game in the script, it just got cut off because the video was getting big as it was.

Fire spin ended as soon as Clefairy fainted if I remember right.

[@Mattias_the_unimpressive]

6:18 I actually don't think fire spin was active at this point and Croconaw was completely free to switch out. Croconaw's health is 46 when miltank comes out, 33 after the first rollout and before the second rollout with no fire spin damage in between. Fire spin also normally ends when you faint the pokemon using it. Frustrating thing to watch.

[@imneszha]

Yeah i've been made aware i had done goofed on that one! Admittedly im not the most knowledgeable person on Pokémon so this finer details might escape from time to time

[@onekoff8480]

Try Polished Crystal next. It's a rom hack that makes Crystal an actually great game to play. It's more fun, even though harder. It has Physical/Special split, abilities, nee moves and movesets, opponent's teams that are actually challenging, Gen 4 evolutions of gen 2 mons, and some amazing pokemon type changes/stats. For example, Sunflora became Grass/Fire, got +20 Defence and +45 Speed, making it a solid mon. Ariados became Bug/Dark and got +40 Speed. Cut became a 60-Power Steel move, and Strength - a fighting type move. And that's far from being everything. Like Charizard, Ampharos and even Yanmega gaining Dragon type. I'd like to see to try playing it, even as a normal playthrough.

[@onekoff8480]

P.S. Also trade evolutions are now achieved via Level Up, either with high enough Attack, Defence, Special Attack and Speed for Machoke, Golem, Alakazam and Gengar respectively; or by holding an evo item like Metal Coat for Scizor or Steelix.

[@imneszha]

Those sound like some really good improvements over the original! I haven't gotten myself into the realm of rom hacks but i'll for sure make my way there, thanks for the suggestion!

You either box or release it. Not everyone has the patience for the more hardcore versions of this challenge, and that's okay.
