Pokemon Nuzlockes

This post i'm dedicating to my favorite gaming franchise out there.....Pokemon!

Yes I am a huge Pokemon fan and have been since I was 5 years old. I mentioned in the last post that my first Pokemon game was Silver Version! I also owned Gold and Crystal and every main game beyond that! I also own Yellow but never Red or Blue.

Pokemon has always been my favorite franchise despite it being nearly the same game every release. I hope this never changes, I love setting out on a journey choosing 1 of 3 pokemon to join me as my starter and catch various Pokemon along the way.

I never get bored of the games but when it came to Lets Playing? Yeah I did get bored. Pokemon is fun and easy to lets play but keeping an audience is hard because everyone knows the outcome. Then I discovered Nuzlockes! Basically it's a harder ruleset that really makes things more interesting with the three main rules:

  1. You may only catch the first pokemon on each route/location. If it isn't captured, the opportunity to catch something for that location is lost.
  2. Any pokemon that faints is considered dead and must be placed in a box or released - never to be used again.
  3. You must nickname all Pokemon to help create a special bond.
These rules being put into effect with custom rules and randomizers/hacks really makes lets playing Pokemon interesting and because of Nuzlockes, I'll be lets playing Pokemon on my channel for a long time.

Currently I am on my 2nd and 3rd nuzlockes on my channel!
