Grass Monotype Nuzlocke

[Mr. SU]

Greetings! My name is Mr. SU.(Thunder45 was my old name I had back in 2013, disregard that) I'm starting a grass type monolocke! it's been a very long time since I've played Reborn, now that I've been doing videos with my friends, I've decided to do my first LP alone, my commentary isn't the best on the first episode, I mess my words up a lot and I made some questionable decisions. But I assure you this will be a learning experience and I hope to get better at commentating as I go along. I haven't been keeping up with this game at all for the past few years so I'm looking forward to playing through it, to my understanding it seems to be close to completion (or it already has, I don't really know). So I'm looking forward to playing through it, I hope it can be as challenging as I remember it, it'll be even better since I'm using a team that has several weaknesses!

 

Here's the first episode, I plan to post each episode in this thread as I continue.

My suggestion: Drop the nuzlocke and keep it as a mono grass run. It is literally impossible to do a Nuzlocke in Pokemon Reborn, since there are portions of the story that requires you to lose battles. Even a normal mono run is very hard, but a nuzlocke (especially a mono nuzlocke) is impossible. Trust me on this.

 

Anyway, I enjoyed the video quite a lot. Keep up the great work! Just as I said, consider dropping the nuzlocke part since it would be pretty sad to see your run ending early.

Thank you!

I personally didn't like my commentary, (though maybe I'm being too harsh on myself) but I'm glad you like it! As for the forced losses, I plan on not counting them, since they didn't have nuzlockes in mind when making them. But even disregarding them, I'm sure this will be hell, but I'm willing to give it a shot anyway, I've done crazier things in the past in fire emblem. I already have plans for how I can deal with gym leaders I'm weak to, (at least the ones I remember). I'll see how far I get, and if it proves too difficult, I'll take your advice and do a mono grass run.

A Nuzlocke can be competed. I have managed to get to the end of Episode 15, (see Doneonriver on youtube). You have to know the game inside out to have any hope, plus you have to be quite liberal with pokemon captures. I allowed myself to obtain all event pokemon. I would say a monotype challenge in itself would be very difficult, most of the gyms require training dedicated teams to defeat. I wish you luck nevertheless.

This doneonriver guy has kept his nuzlocke run alive past Ciel, and is still going. He used event Pokemon as well, but it's still pretty damn impressive nonetheless.

That makes me feel a bit better, I'm recording these in bulk so I'm much further ahead than my videos. And currently I'm in a very bad situation.

I'll definitely check out this playthrough later, though I want to do the later portions of the game that I haven't experienced blind, but doing a monolocke of them may not be the best choice.
