Is anyone going to Nuzlocke (or similar challenge) their first playthrough?
I tried that with Black 2 after I had completed White 2 for the first time, on Challenge Mode no less. Granted I decided to use Genesect but it was still absolutely brutal. Not going to do that to myself again given my track record for Nuzlockes in general.
But I've already got a bunch of Pokemon I'm interested in trying out from the ones we know so far, plus we're also getting two additional starters to mess with if we want. Going to have plenty of options to choose from so I don't see the point in limiting myself to anything less than a full team. If that makes me a bit underleveled in a standard playthrough I can power through it and rely on good strategy to get by if necessary.
Also, that's interesting about the multitype move. I know there's a new Ice move that's super effective VS water but I hadn't heard of that fighting/flying move yet.
Kinda noticing how unbalanced it is at the moment, but I figure there's still a ton of unknowns out there that will shake things up once I get going and figure out which ones I like. And this doesn't even consider the Kanto starters, the event Torchic, or Yveltal being involved either.
I just like seeing what types of teams people enjoy using and if the Pokemon I think are interesting match up with anyone else. Because yeah in-game is pretty easy for the most part.
Like I said I fully expect this to go out the window once I have my hands on the games anyway.
obviously, pokemon is easy as fuck, but i have way more fun researching the best pokes and putting a good team together
That's the thing, though. Optimization is encouraged by difficulty, and since Pokemon lacks that, I really have no incentive to work on it. That's not to say that I don't play the game as an RPG. It's just so easy and so simplistic compared to a lot of other turn-based RPGs that I don't bother with the minutiae as much.
Gonna go with a 3-man team again probably. I usually grab one ghost and one psychic along with the starter, but since the fox is part psychic I might just grab a rock and/or fighting.
Also Idk the purple is the best flavor of the original 3DS. Good man.
One of these days we'll have to swap codes, gotta dig up a charger does though to know mine
Wow yeah, complete opposite of most water starters so far. They're either heavily defensive or else generally balanced. Same with the grass types. An offensive based grass starter would be pretty cool too.
yeah samurott is the closest thing to greninja but the former was slow as fuck ... i'm just glad greninja is blazing fast, about time they gave that to something other than the fire starter
