I've never found any joy in wholly randomized Pokemon. Like, part of the fun is getting to know the species, what they're capable of, what counters them, and how to play around it. But if their types and learnsets get randomized, all bets are off. To each their own I suppose.

I have to say as much as I'm sure it would get on a lot of people's nerves not knowing the type of every pokémon as soon as they see it, I think to myself "This is just what we had to go through playing through Pokémon Red/Blue back when they first came out" (if you did it blind, without a guide or whatever). You think I could tell at a glance that Cubone was a ground type or Meowth a nortmal type when I didn't even know what all the types were? Haha.

@@dominickperez2952 I think everyone is overlooking something here, and that is the pokemon types and move sets aren't completely randomized every time.

@@BeginswithPIE There are versions of these ultimate randomizers that don't do that and have unique typing everytime. I'm not sure if it was the same for this run, but if it is, it's a lot of note taking for information that will become useless the second the run is over.

[@akaneriyun4774]

In the early game, you're correct since you have no info.

Super randomizers like this kinda counterdict hardcore nuzlocking to me. I mean, in Nuzlockes there's no mechanical skill involved, only knowdledge. And if you don't have the knowledge what's to come, you can only prepare so much for it. If it's "just" random Pokemon but with the normal stats, it's at least somewhat doable. But predicting the types of each one, nah sorry. That's too much rng for me But still, it was very fun to watch.

Heya, I think you've got a good idea about PC having a series where he takes Nuzlockes in a really tricky state and tries to rescue them - I'd watch the hell out of that! Reminds me a bit of another video series on KZbin called SoftLockPicking, I think it's by either Pikasprey or JRose11, always get those two mixed up haha. But whoever did it, it's an awesome watch, and a similar idea of taking a game in a near-unwinnable state and finding a way out of it by creatively using only the tools the game gives you, but without starting a new save ^_^ But I gotta say, I'm weirdly focused on the word "counterdict" - I presume it's an accidental combination of the words 'counteract' and 'contradict', and I quite like it! I reckon I'll use it on purpose when I next have the opportunity. But with that said, neither of those words make much sense to me in the place you used it - what exactly did you mean? I *think* you might be trying to say that it's counter to the point/nature of hardcore nuzlockes to have things so random that you can't effectively plan and strategise - is that a reasonable summary?

If it gives you some information in the fight, so you still have to prepare with no info, you still don't know movesets going in, and you don't have enough information to do proper calcs, then that's enough to demand flexibility from the player without being unfair.

It's something you can't really do on your own, you wouldn't be able to excise all knowledge of the setting or rules. I'd love to see something like this again, if such a scenario makes itself available again somehow.

Question! for a randomized run like that, would you be able to check the pokedex to review what pokemon has what type?

[@mihael5722]

heck yea i'm not the only pokemon fan who also loved the digimon anime as a kid

Okay but that is some quality taste in media.

[@SuperMmm90]

It would be fantastic if you tried doing a Hardlock of Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition, I think it would be a ton of fun, and the game has a lot of brutal fights, especially in the post-game.

Just wait until Pokemon players and particularly people who do Pokemon challenges find out about SMT. The rest of the monster catcher genre has done this "requires strategy" thing for decades without self-imposed challenges.

15:21 Someone in chat said ""case study"" after that lmao

Man you can just see the engineering levels of calculations going on in his head. Probably already calculated 30 different team once he reached Latias.

More randomized nuzlocks? Was pretty fun to watch you play something completely random that you couldn't set up for tbh.

[@1BlueYoshi]

Would going through the Pokedex let him see the typings of the randomized mons? Of course he doesn't know what Pokemon he would be going up against, so that wouldn't really help unless he memorized/wrote down every single mon in the dex, but idk maybe it could have helped a lil to look at some potential threats

[@BlastingRobbin]

I think it would be fun to watch you try to do a nuzlocke like this after EK. Also, wouldn’t it be much easier to check the Pokédex before the battle to see the types of some mons?

The elite four theme is so goooood

Up the algorithm you go

I liked the little pop ups of The Pokemon’s types they were very helpful

[@DarthMajora]
