    Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! are upcoming role-playing video games (RPGs) developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokémon Company and Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. The games are the first installments of the Pokémon RPG series for the Nintendo Switch. They are enhanced remakes of the 1998 Game Boy video game Pokémon Yellow. They will also contain influences from Pokémon Go, as well as integration with Go, and will support a new optional controller called the Poké Ball Plus. The games are scheduled to be released worldwide on November 16, 2018
    Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! are set in the Kanto region and will include the original 151 Pokémon creatures in addition to their respective Mega Evolved and Alolan forms from Pokémon X and Y & Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and Sun and Moon. Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! will feature common elements of the series, such as battling non-player character Pokémon Trainers and Gym Leaders with caught Pokémon creatures. However, instead of battling them like the traditional battle system of other major Pokémon role-playing games (RPGs), the catching of Pokémon creatures uses a different mechanic that is based on the mobile spin-off game Pokémon Go where players throw Poké Balls at a wild Pokémon by using the motion controls of the Joy-Con controller.

    Sounds like you learned the 2 main lessons that most people doing their first Nuzlocke do: that those weird third rate garbage pokemon like Vileplume are actually not garbage and are in fact every bit as viable as the mainstream choices, and that having death be the consequence for failure really makes the battles much more tense.
    You did, however, kinda miss the point of the rename rule - it's actually a clever little bit of psychological manipulation that adds another level to the death-as-consequence tension. Humans attach an inherent psychological value to something that's named, and they tend to feel that attachment moreso when they name them. It's why you don't care if some stranger's dog dies (well, unless you're a huge dog lover, but even then it's less intense) but if it's your dog that dies, you're pretty wrecked. Giving pokemon unique names forms a bond immediately, and spending time training it up only amplifies that. That's why scientists do what you did: they assign clinical designations to their subjects rather than using a name. Some prisons refer to inmates by numerical designation rather than name to help their guards deal with what they're doing to them (even at humane prisons - the very act of incarcerating someone against their will is kinda inherently unpleasant for most people to deal with)
    The rename rule is intended to fight the idea of "oh, my Gengar died. I wonder if I'll have a chance to get another one." as opposed to the loss of "Oh no! Mr. Spookerton died!" (It also gets around the weird disconnect of having their "name" change several times over the course of their training, which you get when you just refer to them by species name as they level.
    (And no, I have never had a Gengar named Mr. Spookerton. It's the cutest name for a horrible dream eating monster I could come up with on short notice.)

      @fieratheproud 4 роки тому +9

      The way I usually count routes in Nuzlockes is name + encounters. For example, in Unova the inner and outer Pinwheel Forest areas have different encounters so even though they share the name, I count them as separate. So at least I would count each area of the Wild Area as it's own place.
      Also, as an addition I feel like the random nature of the encounters in other Pokemon games is a part if the challenge, so I would also try to avoid the pokemon I see on the overworld and go for the ones hidden within the grass.
      ...hm... I wonder how a Colosseum or XD Gale of Darkness Nuzlocke would go. Since there's no traditional wild pokemon and you're supposed to catch Shadow pokemon from trainers.

      A Nuzlocke run, in it's most basic form, has just two rules:
      1) Catch only the first encounter in each route. If it runs or faints, you don't get to catch one.
      2) If a Pokémon faints in battle, it's considered dead and must be released/boxed permanently.
      That's it. Not even nicknaming Pokémon is part of the original rules. everything else is "optional".

    I think a way to make this much easier is to allow people to catch Pokemon to level up, however you can only use those caught Pokemon for xp, basically like you are "fighting" those Pokemon. It honestly is exactly the same as normal Nuzlocke, however in this one you are just "Catching" instead of fighting for xp. Going to give it a try and see how it goes.

      They mean the Pokemon traded to them in the first place. As in, the Pokemon someone traded to him to evolve kadabra could not be used or it would not be valid.
      Most Nuzlockes can’t have Pokemon traded or evolved because most people doing said Nuzlockes are using emulators, and not actual copies of the game.

    Grinding for Nuzlockes is kinda discouraging. Anyone can win with a team of all over-leveled Pokemon. The limitation of Pokemon is supposed to bring out your full Trainer skills.
    That said, for Nuzlocke is generally accepted to catch Pokemon in order to fulfill mandatory clauses for game progression (so long they are not used in battle), so you shouldn't disallow yourself old routes for "50 different Pokemon" to enter Koga's Gym (but impressive you did anyway). One could argue for Let's Go that you should be allowed to catch Pokemon for raw EXP as well.
    Also, gift Pokemon and static spawns (like Snorlax) are generally acceptable. It's more ambiguous whether to allow them as a special addition or for them to count for the location received at.

    Not going to lie, I clicked on this video for one reason and one reason only: to get a definitive answer on Fuchsia Gym. The fact that you were able to access it in well under 40 captures, some of which being redundant, and with no access to Gift Pokémon, is inspiring, and all the moreso that you were able to become Champion this way without abusing the support trainer! I've never been interested in Nuzlockes myself, but Let's Go's mechanics *do* make me wonder what the minimal number of captures required to become Champion is.

      You need 50 obtained, you get 1 for your starter and up to 18 from fully evolving gift pokemon, this leaves 31 to obtain, assuming all but 1 are 3 stage pokemon this is a grand total of 11 catches
      EDIT: miscalculation, the red and blue starters are gated beind catches, so only 9 available from gift pokemon, this makes it 14 catches

      This is if you are not following Nuzlocke rules, you will be viciously underleveled unless you farm the first pokemon of a multi-pokemon trainer/gym fight and deliberately wipe out
