How do you play Pokemon games to make them harder/more interesting for yourself? For me
>Catch and start using a full team of 6 Pokemon at least before the 3rd gym, to keep my levels as low as possible by having EXP split up the most
>Never grind
>Not use EXP share in Gen 6.
>>
>>26681259
Don't grind, no items in battle, battle style to set, exp share off. Avoid using overpowered TMs more than once.
>>
level up moves and hms only
>>
I just try to use Pokémon that I've never used before.
>>
>standard nuzlocke rules
>set battle style
>no healing items in battle
That's about all I've done. I've done mono or dual type runs on a few games as well, but I've never tried for a real "hard mode" run.
>>
>>26681259
You have to use 6 Pokemon for every gym battle and you have to store each team after each gym
>>
Shitmons or less-used mons.

I remember my 2nd Emerald run - my E4 team was something like this:
>Plusle
>Castform
>Torkoal
>Aggron
>Flygon
>Armaldo

I don't remember it 100% but I think that was it
>>
I have never used repel ever. Not a rule I set for myself, just got used to being mobbed by geodudes and zubats... That helps a lot with the levelling up part so I barely have to grind at all
>>
LOST sucks
>>
>>26681259
>No items
>No grinding
>No EXP Share at all
>Monotype only
>After first gym is done, switch all the mons for a team of level 5s
>Faint=Death
>Can't catch any more pokemon
>All pokemon need to be around the same level to be usable in battle
>No switching battle style

It was the only way to play gen 6 properly.
>>
>>26681259
I do my catch them all rules.
>All non-evolvable pokemon boxed
>Last evos get boxed
It's actually been really fun and keeps me underleveled.
>>
>>26684422
I also forgot
>No pressing B during evolution
>Have to evolve a stone pokemon if you have or have access to a evo stone
>>
I'm Nuzlocking Volt White at the moment. Set obviously, no healing during battle. Not gonna lie, I've had some near heart attacks.
>>
>>26681259
N run, catch first thing you see per route. Only new routes. Release after or soon after gyms
>>
I play a Rom hack on set style without items. Nuzlockes are for casuals.
