    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 took me a while of playing pokemon before I even realized there were two modes. Set is way more fun because if you're playing switch you literally only need to have a relatively fast speed and you can just always switch into a pokemon that can one hit ko your opponent. Not hard when you know what pokemon they're choosing before they switch.

    Sonic Boom really is amazing early game. In normal Black 2 playthroughs, I always make sure I get a Magnemite for Roxie, and it is shocking (heh) just how little she can do against a Magnemite. Thunder Wave into Sonic Boom deals with her whole team.
    Even on Challenge Mode, she's still pretty easy, apart from, I think, one move on her new Grimer.

      He's not bad, he just nuzlockes randomised games (wild encounters, items and trainers) without in-battle items. It's basically impossible to plan around those conditions. If he just did a regular unmodified rom he'd probably only need 1-2 attempts per run
