The Best Way to Play Pokemon
So another year goes by and yet another
Pokemon releases into the grubby hands of children worldwide. By children, I mean fully-grown adults such as you and I. Now after
Pokemon X & Y introduced a new generation of graphics and Pokemon,
Omega Ruby and
Alpha Sapphire may not hold the same appeal.
Let's face it, these games are literally all the same, but we love them, right?
Yet, we crave a sense of excitement that won't leave us falling asleep in the midst of in-bed-power-leveling, only to wake up from the clunk of our 3DS crashing on our face. It happens to me, Mom, constantly because the only time I have to play my DS is when I'm in bed exhausted from being the busiest mother in the world.
Anyway...
Luckily for all you Poke-peeps, Pop has decided to up the excitement by taking on
Omega Ruby as a Nuzlocke challenge. Now, if you haven't heard of this, it is okay, because I didn't know anything about it until Pop told me. Basically, there are a set of rules you have to follow and these are the ones Pop is specifically using:
- Any Pokémon that faints is considered dead, and must be
released.
- The player may only catch the first Pokémon encountered
in each new route. If the first Pokémon encountered faints or flees, there are
no second chances.
- Duplicate Clause - Player is not allowed to catch the
same Pokemon.
- Player must nickname all of their Pokémon.
- Black out/white out is considered to be "game
over".
- Traded Pokémon, mystery gifts, etc., are prohibited.
- Battle style switched to "set", leaving the
player unable to switch out.
- Exp. Share set to OFF (unless told otherwise in comments)
There are a bunch of implied and optional rules and feel free to read them
here.
