Does crystal clear have much boss documentation? I want to play it but half the fun is planning for the types and moves of the opponent.

off of this guide to nuzlocking romhacks i thought prismatic moon would be about as simple as nuzlocking any old drayano hack but holyyyy was i wrong, instead of resetting over and over again i decided to do a casual playthrough with healing items and such, and the game is very unforgiving, ive practically deemed it impossible to beat without an increased level cap on the Lana water trial, that fight is the most unforgiving fight there is, rain+speed boost aura with a fully evolved mon along w an actual viable sos call genuinely defeated me. Even though the game is tough i still hughly reccomend it its a lot of fun. Finally, thank you for such an informative video drew very cool 10/10 ign

Great list, it coincides with many or all of the hacks I've been looking at and introducing to friends to casually Nuzlocke. Not sure if you've checked in on Radical Red/Unbound recently but they both got an updated Hardcore/Insanity AI that actively cheats way more than it did previously. This includes completely lack of consistency in decision-making (the AI can choose to swap into resistances, or stay in and click certain moves in the exact same situations. You can check within the same opener of a battle that it does different things). Even the person who does the AI guide has talked about how things have changed and strats need to be completely reworked. As an intermediate or so player myself, the new AI is crazy annoying since it's almost impossible to do regular nuzlocke planning, especially with switching more than twice activating parts of the AI like clicking random move to catch a switch in with a surprise attack type.

@Drxxyt

Жыл бұрын

i agree. the ai is very unique I guess the fact that it can read some of the stuff you have isn't for everyone. I will say though players have taken advantage of this like for example putting rapid spin on a pokemon so the ai doesn't go for hazzards

I hope my romhack gets into one of these list one day when it gets soon finished, is nothing crazy but completely scrambles gen 1

Honored to be used as footage in this vid!

Hey if you can ever find the chance. Could you attempt a nuzlocke of Pokemon Elite Redux? It is VERY hard if you go full-on elite mode

Could you do a video about Pokemon Soulstones? It's an amazing fangame and I think it deserves a lot more attention. A Nuzlocke of Soulstones would be a decent challenge.

mine, balanced for nuzlockes, in depth buffs to every mon, tons of awesome new tools, in depth documentation wont disappoint trust

Have you ever played Infinite Fusions ? It might be fun to see nuzlocke of that game

Saw u on flygon hd twitch chat :D

Thoughts on polished crystal? :)

To speak on ren plat I think it’s amazing because it is hyper consistent. With repel Manips and a lot of guaranteed encounters like milotic, togekiss, gliscor, and a bunch of other gift Pokémon like all the starters, eevee, and Beldum. There’s also a lot of thought that needs to go into deciding what encounters in an area are worth going for such as scyther being guaranteed but if you take it you lose out on the possibility of Skarmory. With the shear magnitude of honey trees you can also guarantee a lot of those encounters as they are very similar route to route but can lose out on other good mons. Some of the best examples out of this is snorlax, ambipom and heracross. As well the infinite tms and easy access to move relearner and deleter makes it easy to completely change how a mon is used every fight. There are still the exceptions of mons like togekiss which get loses access to its old moves once it evolves which is unfortunate because it has at least 6 moves that it loves to have. With the changes to balance pretty much every Pokémon is usable with minimal exceptions. The only encounter that I consistently found myself not using is whismur and is without a doubt the worst pokemon in this game. It’s encountered before the first gym and has a descent chance to find it and there isn’t a single battle I can think of where it’s useful. It barely even works as a dupe as there’s only one other place you can encounter it.

whismur in oreburgh mine is pain incarnate

I’d highly recommend Pokémon Xenoverse as well: a lot of very fun new Pokémon designs, interesting characters, tough bosses… it feels like a 90s/early 2000s Shonen in the best way

what's the outro song?

I've only done a couple nuzlockes on vanilla games in the past, but I've been getting into a lot of nuzlocke videos recently so I decided to try Radical Red on hardcore. After many resets I did at least manage to beat Brock before I quit, but I only realized how insanely bad an idea that was after watching this video. I knew something fucky was going on with the AI but I didn't realize it will straight up just read your switches if you fuck around too much. Nevertheless, I kept playing through hardcore normally and it's just about the perfect difficulty for my tactically challenged ass

i watched how FlygonHG was doing the inclement emerald and oh my god thank you for reminding me how horrible his MSpaint drawings of pokemon were

Glazed and light platinum were my childhood

I love inclement emerald it’s everything I love about my first game ever with all my favorite Pokémon and quality of life changes in a gen 3 game. Highly recommended for anyone interested in an amazing not to hard rom hack

On the fan game note, Rejuvenation has an intense mode that so far almost no one has beaten the 5th gym. It’d take forever to beat but I’d love to see you try it.

Crystal kaizo+ has become my literal favourite game of all time

Well, it‘s obvious that Radical red and unbound are similar in features, iirc the creator of unbound made the radical red engine and worked on Unbound based on that engine

As someone who hasn't really played past gen 3, I find myself surprisingly reticent to play expansion hacks adding mons from gen 8 for example. It just adds to the intellectual overhead for how many different mechanics I have to consider. This is why I appreciate the more minimalist games, like garbage green

Pokemon Gaia is an S tier game because there is a trainer near the start of the game with two Spinaraks named Hiker Georg.

I know I'm a bit late and probably anyone will see my comment but one recomendation of mine in a good rom hack to nuzlocke is grand colosseum a difficult mod in pokemon colosseum a spin off for the game cube ehich is amazing its very hard bur not unfair with the player and every battle is a double battle too (but the double battle thing is in the base game)

I can't find that techno emerald romhack it sounded so interesting and I can't play it ;-;

i agree with everything on this list except the "makes johto more bearable" comment. johto's a phenomenal region! two regions in one, epic lance fight, even more epic red fight, fantastic soundtrack. other than that absolutely, even to the point of unbound being top tier

Yeah, my favourite part of playing HGSS was grinding my pokemon from level 40 to level 50 between the 8th gym and the elite four, fighting underlevelled trainers in kanto until I'm given the privilege of grinding up to level 70 in route 26 again off of level 30-40 pokemon, beating the elite four again so that I can grind to level 80 off of level 40-50 pokemon, doing all of this with no lucky egg unless you go to one specific route to find a 1% chansey with a 5% rate of having a lucky egg. I also loved the new pokemon like gyarados, gengar, ledian, furret, noctowl, golem, ariados, shuckle, delibird and stantler. They were all so cool to catch and use! The gym leaders also used a lot of new pokemon, like Bugsy's Scizor, Jasmine's Skarmory, Chuck's Heracross, Morty's Misdreavus and Falkner's Noctowl!

Kinda surprised Pokemon Fool's Gold hasn't made the cut here, not gonna lie. Maybe just because it's a very good hack, yet not particularly good to nuzlocke, or at least not a particularly better nuzlocke experience than those shown here?

How about Pokémon sweets?

sad at the no mention of pokemon reborn

Snakewood?

Why is it that 90% of recommended hacks are of remakes of the main series games. There’s way to many great games with custom regions that take way longer to make and are a lot more fun with their own story, region, and bosses. I swear they never get as much love as the remakes for already made games

@FiboSai

Жыл бұрын

The reason is probably that most of those don't exclusively focus on gameplay, which makes them less attractive for nuzlocke players. And most of the content on rom hacks currently is nuzlockes and challenge runs, so custom hacks that focus more on story and worldbuilding don't get as much exposure. My personal favorite hack I've played recently was Fire Red: Rocket Edition. The story was amazing, albeit very strange at the end, and the gameplay has a very creative twist. But it really isn't that challenging, and its structure makes it awkward to nuzlocke, so if that is the reason you play Pokemon, this is unfortunately not the game for you.

Once upon a time, there was a mighty Pokémon named Seaking. Seaking lived in a vast and wondrous world filled with all kinds of fascinating creatures. Seaking was a fierce fighter, known for its powerful horn and ability to swim at incredible speeds. But despite its strength, Seaking was also kind and gentle, always ready to help its friends in need. One day, a young trainer came to the world, seeking to catch and train Seaking. The trainer was brave and determined, but Seaking was no easy catch. Every time the trainer tried to throw a Poké Ball, Seaking would dodge and swim away, showing just how fast and agile it truly was. But the trainer was not discouraged. They continued to train and work hard, always seeking to improve their skills. And finally, after many attempts, they succeeded in capturing Seaking. From that day forward, the trainer and Seaking traveled the world together, taking on all comers and becoming the best of friends. And so, as the sun sets on this world of wonder and adventure, we can remember the bravery and determination of the young trainer and the power and grace of the mighty Seaking. Goodnight.
