Chezzz Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Hi gang, I've been flirting with an idea that I think would add another element to my next playthrough. And that's doing a modified Rival Locke of this game with someone. I say "modified" because of how different and difficult the game is compared to normal pokemon games, I think it makes most sense to modify the rules a bit. Let me know if anyone is interested in doing this with me or if this even seems feasible. The modified rules I have invisioned are below: 1: you can only catch the first pokemon in each area. If you kill it or fail to catch it, you cant catch anymore pokemon in that area. Before the first gym, you can catch 2 pokemon in East Gearen City as there are limited wild spots before the first gym. This will have to work on the honour system as there isn't a way to verify if you really have stuck with your first encounter. But I will be honest about it, I hope you do the same. Also dupes/shiny clause in effect. 2: After the first gym, you can only capture two static/event pokemon between each gym (this rule sounds kind of arbitrary, but I think having it in place makes sense so there is still an elemenr of randomness to the team makeup and we aren't using the similar teams full of event/static pokemon. 3: gotta nickname our pokemon (this one isn't a big deal either way but seems fun) 4: I would like to play on normal reborn difficulty. I think that's a good balance of challenging but also not cornering us into having to use the strongest pokemon/similar teams. 5: No nuzlocke rules where if a pokemon faints it's dead. Again I think it puts the team party composition into too much of a box . 6: After one person finishes the gym they have to stop playing and wait for the other guy to finish the gym once both people finish the gym we do our rival battle and the winner gets to make one pokemon trade. Maybe we have like a 2 or 3 week guideline for how long it should generally take inbetween gym, seeing as people do have outside loves as well. 7: We would have to go on pokemon showdown and do our battle there. Just input the exact team you have into showdown, and should work fine. 8: We each those 3 starters the other person can pick from and they pick one of those. Let me know if anyone wants to start a new playthrough and wants to work with the rules above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowrunner211 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Sure! I'd be more than interested in doing it. How would we communicate? I assume discord, right? The rules seem fair, not doing a nuzlocke is a very smart decision, and the rule with statics I think works and also will make it so we have to plan out more instead of just getting everything. The idea of challenging Julia with three pokemon kinda scares me but it sounds fun. Although, if you are willing to do it with me, I do have to let you know that my mic doesn't work so I wouldn't be able to do voice chats, and due to timezones figuring out a time to do battles and such might be difficult but I'd be willing to at least try if you're interested.
