nutzlocks are great to watch right, but id never do one myself for own enjoyment.

but, gamefreak and nintendo and working hard to make those nutzlocks impossible in their pkmn games.

violet and scarlet definitely feel like they've done everything to make it impossible to do them.

I really like how setting your own limitations brings out another level of creativity in people. The book Gadsby and that lad who completed Dark Souls with a set of drums from Rock Band are good examples. I also enjoy the expression (or more often, simply witnessing) of that level of mastery.

A game I can say I do this in is PES - I do Youth-Only, Homegrown, no transfer fee etc. challenges with dogpoo teams in Master League. I don't even stream, I just like it.

As for Nuzlocke rules being on the way out, fair enough.

Is anyone expecting anything less? It will be exclusive to Switch 2 eventhough it will still look like a 3DS game

I think the 3DS games look better than anything GF released on Switch.

To be fair, The Pokemon Company operates quite independently, so it wouldn’t have been that strange for a Pokemon game coming out in just the 2nd year of the S2’s life to still be crossgen. I mean, just how long into the PS5 and SX life are we and we are still seeing plenty of crossgen stuff

not surprised.

nintendo was prepared to have some games sell the console.

im sure the game will still look like its from the ps2 era tho.

that is in part because of the chip shortage when everyone over reacted to sars in 2019.

Kosic8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

I've lost interest in pokemon, the mega evolve stuff was a poor digimon rip off, then the stuttering mess the 3d versions are.
I'd love a remake of gold/silver in a top down view like lets go pikachu had, but sticking with the traditional pokemon mechanics.

Uh, yea, that’s how console generations are supposed to work…
