For me the fun of Randomized Nuzlocks, despite all the legit problems you pointed out, is that they can kind of force you to use really off brand Pokemon. I had a run where, due to some deaths and other problems, I used Exeggcute. I don't think I've ever used Exeggcute before. So for that reason alone I enjoy them, because you encounter and use stuff that normally isn't encountered until late game, that just isn't very good, or that I'd normally just pass over in favour of something else.

I don’t know how other randomizer tools work, but for the UPR I use the “similar strength” option and the “Fully evolved Pokémon at Lv. 30” option, as those two rules make the game more challenging yet also more balanced, and you still have the benefit of some of the chaos and unique teambuilding.

I can't believe Lud won with my favorite mon and in the most dramatic way

[@evernewb2073]

wait, you're telling me there are people that give up on a problem solving exercise after just 20 attempts? the fuck? ...ohhhhh, wait, no, there are _streamers_ and the like that give up after just a couple attempts, that shit actually makes sense: they aren't giving up because they give up they are "giving up" because they don't want their output to go stale, that's totally fair. seriously though, unless I determine I'm literally just bashing up against an RNG gate waiting until it lets me through it's way harder for me to just drop something than it is for me to stick through it even if we're talking literal years of datamining effort to reach the required skill level and knowledge base. it, uh, it honestly took me a long time to figure out that that isn't how everyone works.

[@patroka]

Thanks for letting me vicariously enjoy yelling at streamers for their dumb decisions.

When you get a Salamance from an "infinite static encounter"

[@tobycat5799]

Hehehe love you just slamming your ego into other nuzlockers. Hope that doesnt sound harsh, I enjoy it. Subbed

[@wyattjenkinson450]

Tbf is it even ego if it’s just a fact? My dude is literally just the best

[@ShinuGuardian]

He's definitely the most resilient out there, and he has skill to back that up. Although there might be an unheard of guy who's actually better than him somewhere around the world, it's safe to say he's at the very least a top contender.

I love to see all the tryhard Nuzlockers who know what theyre doing and then there is just ludwig doing some random shit, betting his ass on RNG most of the time, and still beating the game xD

[@gypsysprite4824]

tbf, looking at this video, he is still more knowledgable than some other casuals out there (seriously, not many casuals know that damage is on a range)

[@jeffreyrobinson2617]

Look at me. I was called to action. I'm an engagement statistic. I've made it.
