I've never tried Nuzloke, nor have I ever really been interested in it I guesss xD... I know i'm a pretty careless person who Occasionally let my pokémon faint because of over use xD like... Sure my Fire type is below half hp... but it can handle another hit.... okay maybe not apparently. I'n X and Y its kinda easy to Exp farm in the Castle thing since the trainers come back quite often and when you learn which ones have the high exp giving pokémons like several Audino and use exp boost it gets so easy to level up rather than normal farming. Althought the one thing I did to make the game more challanging instead was to only use Normal pokéballs, since I generally just happen to like the appearance of them to be more iconic as they are nearly the only ones ever used in the Anime with exception for Johto season where several others also are used. And with Falseswipe, Sing and other moves its not that hard I guess. Funny Thing is I used A Farfetch'd I think, for Fly and Falseswipe, and a Ludicolo as a Tm Slave as it could handle everything else. My Team was a Female Delphox, who I was really happy and surprised I got as a female when I picked it as its a much higher chance to get a male and I didn't reload or anything. Lucario, obvious choice for fighter lol. Tyranitar, lol... I just love Tyranitar Especially mega. And Mightyena who I also love. A Sylveon to Replace Tm slaves. Also female because I just like breeding eevees lol... And Fletchlinder or something if I recall right. I've never worried much over balance, stats or stuff like that lol xD... its not like the game is difficult to begin with if your a non Nuzloke I guess, and you can pretty much get through the whole thing with any team as you can over level any challenge easily and one shot even the elite four and the champion. The only times I ever encountered problems was if I leveled up another team for filling dex and my main fainted or something, even if those problems didn't occcur often I solved them. Its pretty clear the normal difficulty is made for childs and the real challanges come after the game is done lol. I still need to finish ORas some day as I totally forgot what I was doing in the game and might need to restart if I can't figure out where to go lol xD. Those moments when you need to backtrack to talk to someone or something and have forgotten who/where they are.... are horrible xD. [hr] Its funny/Sad when the game literally hold your hand through some of the encounters... like, yeah team up with your rival/friend thats strong enough to take on these thugs alone and win. Its Sad when the game give you a no choice option over and over again... Do you want to ---? Yes/No. And your forced to pick one option because the game can't continue if you don't and you don't really get a choice on which option as the game has decided one is the 'right choice'... What if I want to join team rocket because they asked me if I wanted too?... Gamefreak... give me a plot hole to allow at least a temporary join. Or a bad ending or something where I take over the world lol xD
