fair enough. Let me make my point clearer, I think the game is unbalanced with or without nuzlocke rules.
The entire game, every single fight, is brainless overpowering an opponent whose strategy is just "am stronk, me hit hard, me have much health". There are no fights that use a specific team style, no stall teams, no trickroom teams, the best it gets is having a team that has advantage on a broken ass field but it never goes beyond that.
I said the game balance was bad because I genuinely think that, seperately from the nuzlocking experience, I was just frustrated from getting my ass RNG'd by volcanion so I ended up shifting my point to shitting on the game itself rather than my original point.
