A Pokemon Brilliant Diamond Hardcore Nuzlocke Challenge Playing as Cynthia - Can it be done? (No items, No overleveling)
Make sure to let me know what hardcore nuzlocke challenge you want to see in the comments!
RULES:
1) If a Pokemon faints, it's considered dead and can no longer be used.
2) Only the first encounter can be caught on each route.
3) Species Clause; I can reroll an encounter if the first encounter is something already caught.
4) No items in battle (held items are fine).
5) No overleveling the next gym leader's highest Pokemon (leveling up during the fight is allowed).
6) Battle style must always be on 'Set'.

    As confusing as this was a times. It does remind me that I would love an alternate version of Pokémon games in which you are the champion for whichever gen and how you go to that point. With game events making you use the team they use pretty much only. A final fight being set a handful of years later agasint whoever the player character was for that generation with a team that would be fitting to them (similar like the Red fight). Who knows, maybe someday someone will make a rom of this for at least the earlier generations.

Especially since it makes grinding terrible since you’d have to stop to fight. Rival before E4 and then do another round of grinding before E4. All power to you though.

    Can I just say I laughed out loud at the idea of describing Starlies as highly dangerous, feral Pokemon for kids to avoid? I mean, okay, any Pokemon can be dangerous to humans, but generally the first few Pokemon encountered in any game are considered to be the least deadly, that's WHY they're at the start of the game. Just once I want to see a game where the starting town is surrounded by mountains, and your choice of starters is a grass, water, or fighting type, because nobody wants their kid at a disadvantage when facing the many Gravelers that live nearby.
