I've gotten 2 shiny starters in around 300 ish files I'd say, the first one was from like the 7th file lol

yes, yes you can! just reset enough times

HOLY SHIT SOMEONE HAS SEEN MY TIERLIST, MY OPINION IS VALID LET'S GOOOOO edit: but to be precise when I did this I literally only took into consideration what mons are the best for nuzlocking this game. I didn't think about crests I literally just weighed what mons are good for early to mid game depending on their abilities, moves and types lol

nope, that won't do, I need it to be in the script that at the start of a save you're given an X amount of things. Otherwise I'd need to debug it every single time I redo the file.

Does anyone by any chance know where the code of that one potion you're given in the item box is? I wanted to hack in a few items and I'm pretty sure I know how to I just can't find that part of the script anywhere...

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.

I actually absolutely disagree, the easier the game the less interested in nuzlocking it I am. it's why people nuzlocke games like emerald kaizo which although optimized specifically for nuzlockes, are made in such a way that it's as hard as possible while still being doable. The way they optimize the game for nuzlocking is simply by making every fight consistently hard instead of super easy fights and super hard fights

Nah, ya'll right. I'm hella tilted for no reason, I'm a pussy shit. Resetting.

yes. you can beat Venam and Keta with 1 mon each (ofc that is luck dependent) and you can beat rift galvantula and rift gyarados super easily. only 2 fights I find dumb are the shadow mewtwo and the rift volcanion. both are doable but fucking annoying as shit

that I can't get because it's like a 5% encounter in 1 route?

that's fair enough, people see things diferently. to me intense mode is still pretty easy so yeah.

how? hypnosis rock slide? it woke up turn 1 and i missed rock slide. glare? he hit through it. poison? I don't have reliable poison. drop it's spatk AND atk? not only does that take multiple pokemon but a single crit immediately make that useless

if your game isn't balanced enough to be nuzlocked then it's badly balanced.

a volcanion with steam eruption, flamethrower, bulldoze and rock tomb doesn't even need the rift stats to 1 shot your entire team, you either hit him, do 30% and die or you switch, get hit for 30% and do 0 dmg. that wouldn't be a problem if I could just rockslide with solrock and lunatone, losing 2 mons and killing with another is fine but with shields you need solrock lunatone and 2 other pokemon to break the 2 shields. if you're lucky to get 4 pokemon like that in a nuzlocke that's still 4 pokemon lost after fighting a shadow mewtwo which presumably killed a few of your mons already

I'm sorry, am I the only one that thinks that giving the volcanion with 200 spatk shields so it can't be leech seeded or flinched was an extremely horrible idea? I don't care if I can now wipe to it or not, the whole point of the run is to NOT wipe! Volcanion specifically got even dumber cause you can't even bait it into becoming weaker with overheat, you just lose unless you get like mega para/sleep hax

Not a huge issue, just thought it was a bug. Alt still speeds up and slows down the game while acting as the "select" button. M still works as intended though!

the nice lady said she'd be waiting outside the cherry blossom Inn but...? It appears I've been stood up once more

a 29+ speed butterfree actually stands a great chance against Venam it seems! just gotta get lucky with shed skin on seviper... edit: the butterfree isn't enough but this specific team actually has a chance to win! the chances are like 20% and the sacks depend on how lucky or unlucky you get with both your sleeps and the opponent's sleeps but hey, it's passable!

afternoon? my clock is at 3 pm and I find like 5 skitty, 3 meowths and 2 glameows before finding 1 caterpie, I might be getting incredibly unlucky tho

I'll give this a try but caterpie's rates seem to be astronomically low, specially for a mon that needs as many IV's as possible

in v13 you cannot access geodude, woobat or vivillion, the EV cards are unbuyable, in fact you can't even get speed or hp, the lvl cap is 15 and starters evolve at lvl 16 and I don't even know if you can get a chingling during the night anymore, I got a hoothoot which wasn't available before

I've been doing intense mode hardcore nuzlockes for about half a year now and the venam fight was always a consistent 1HKO with herdier as long as you had above 0 IVs in atk and speed. I'm not saying that I wanted it to remain an incredibly easy fight but with the pokemon available I don't see a world in which I come out with more than 1 pokemon alive. Spoink in worthless due to alolan grimer, seviper takes too much damage and is unreliable at best with iron tail, no starters evolve due to the level cap so no braixen, hoothoot is an absolute joke and the nidos are literal infant rats due to the level cap as well. I'm stuck, anyone have literally any idea that would be at least work 10% of the time?

there was a date in the source code, tomorow :)

yeah, not stockings, that was my point B)
