When you play Pokemon...what do you think? Do you image yourself with your party of 6 being unstoppable?or you just one of those people that play this game just for the sake of killing time?
Nuzlocke or not, I always form a bond with my pokemon. Well...except for my playthrough of Y, too easy so I went through it too fast, so I couldn't form much of a bond.
I have cried enough times before because of the death of a single mon, most specifically my Watchog in Black. That was the first and last time I underestimated a Darmanitan. That run was full of the emotions.
