I've also three magazine issues of intellectual material to read through. I'm so lazy. I mean, I'm supposed to be working on my WYBO entry, but I've been stuck at the first line for an hour... Hopefully I get more efficient someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either Merc or archer, if you can get the resources to get better bows. Personally Merc Atlas works better personally so I'd lean that way. I am of the opinion berserkers should have been added and Darros added to the game. Well, right now my convoy on Celica's side in terms of bows is just a couple Irons, Steels, and a Lonbow, which Leon is currently using. I have a lot more swords in contrast. I guess Kaga only thought on turning the Whitewings and Camus into his recurring characters. And Anna I guess. 9 minutes ago, Armagon said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UB are very much intended as alien designs and while "God shouldn't be bothered by our standards" is a statement about the fusions, fact of the matter is Dialga looks like it swallowed a cannon, took Arceus's rear legs for itself and called it a day after taking off the front crest while Palkia apparently got into MLP on the basis of it's legs and decided arms bad but keep the shoulders and really wanting shin guards.

But that’s a really unpopular opinion. But Mudkip is excellent in gen 3, best boi of that gen's starters. 18 minutes ago, Sooks said: Maaaaybe if I tried this nuzlocke challenge I keep hearing about… The basic Nuzlocke rules are: 1) If a pokemon faints it is dead, and can't be used again (some people have a dead box, others will release them...) 2) You can only catch the first pokemon you encounter at each location, although it is common to add a few clauses to this like: a) a shiny clause, where you can catch a shiny if you can find one, more hardcore variants of this clause might have it be you can only catch it if you have a pokemon of the same line alive, and you can then have the shiny replace the old mon, or to exclude the clause entirely. b) a species/duplicate clause, which changes it to the first pokemon of an evolutionary line you haven't caught yet on each route (instead of just first encounter), although there are variants where doing this is optional (or not optional), or having a limit to the number of "rerolls" you get with this clause c) a gift pokemon clause, where you can use gift pokemon, and they don't count as encounters, although it is kinda common not to have this clause in more hardcore runs, which usually count gift pokemon as an encounter for the location you get it 3) You have to nickname your pokemon to become more attached to them. There are also some common rules to make things more difficult on top of this, and when all are is use its common to describe it as a hardcore Nuzlocke: 1) Have the game on Set mode instead of Switch mode (this is a feature you can change in the options menu). I highly recommend you do this as otherwise it is kinda easy to power through the game with hyper-offensive strats, and having it on set makes pivot strategies more important, and the question of whether or not you should sack a pokemon more important as well. 2) No items in battle, other than pokeballs in valid encounters, and hold items. Helaing items can be used to make stall strats more powerful, and if you know how to use them X items are kinda broken. Items are a bit of a crutch, and if you think you need them, keep them. 3) No over-leveling past a level cap. The most common rule of thumb for this is to have a level cap of the next Gym leader's highest level pokemon, or the highest level pokemon of the fourth Elite Four member, and if a pokemon gets above that level cap before starting the Gym fight (or starting the league battles) you have to box it until you raise the level cap by completing the Gym. How you end up defining your level cap is up to you, it doesn't have to be based on Gym battles, and having a slightly higher level cap makes things easier, and slightly lower level caps makes things harder. I have heard some advise that you should start with level caps, as it encourages leveling up to the cap before a gym fight, which tends to be a good thing, as going into a major battle under leveled is an extremely common way to lose a lot of Pokemon in a Nuzlocke. 4) Having a pokemon ban-list, so that you don't use the most powerful/game-breaking pokemon isn't unheard of either. Banning legendaries is extremely common, but banning things like Gyrados, Garchomp, Shedinja, Blissey, etc. isn't that unheard of either. There are also lots of other variants if you want to look them up (even multiplayer ones like a Soul-link), but the important thing is you play with a rule-set that you have fun with, and if you need to reset a run, or give yourself a mulligan or two, that is fine.

Armagon Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 LRG aside, i just find it really beautiful how Inti Creates is partnering up with an indie studio who's putting out their first game. Like they've been doing this since the reveal of Luminous Avenger iX 2 and i just think it's neat. Like we've seen devs congratulate others on their releases but this is a whole new level.
