Can I beat a HARDCORE nuzlocke without any nuzlocke experience? (Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl)

Hi comfy person! I tried my first ever hardcore nuzlocke and oh my god, this was such a blast. I feel very emotional looking at where we started and how far we came in only a few weeks! It's kinda funny I lost all my mons to Lucarios LOL
Hardcore nuzlocke rules: 1. be comfy 2. box defeated mons/restart game upon wipe 3. first encounter each route (underground is 1 location) 4. set mode 5. no items in battle (held items allowed) 6. level cap at next gym leaders ace 7. no legendaries/pseudo-legendaries
I definitely had a lot of sleepless nights reading up about Pokémon, planning strats, studying my foes teams, or asking Jocario about fight mechanics or input about my plans :D Thank you so much, Joco, and also soulzz0, for the amazing help during the champ fight, my nerves almost ate me up ;-; and a BIG thanks to my community who showed me nothing but kindness and patience. That E4 stream was my absolute favourite stream EVER ♥

That Gastrodon switch was ace from Cynthia haha! Gastrodon is such an amazing mon but also I’m glad to see you give some Hippowdon some love! Hippowdon is a really underrated Pokémon! So bulky, Slack off for healing, Sand Stream ability to help boost special defence, such a really good mon, I enjoyed watching this, well done on beating your first nuzlocke

@CafeEla 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you sooo much! Yes that switch was SO good, even though Barry did it before as well! Such an interesting AI. Also omg Hippo was so amazing! I tried calcing with Steelix, or Mamoswine, but yes especially with Slack off you get so much security, it's so nice! Also it's funny that you say that because I calced Berthas Hippo having SpDef up, but then I realized its Rock type mons that benefit from sandstorm, not Ground 😭 but for a sand team Hippo would be amazing for sure ♥

@@CafeElayou’re welcome! Also I can’t believe you found a random shiny Starly! I’m doing an Eeveelution team on original Diamond and found a random shiny Machop😅 Really? I could have swore that Ground and Steel types benefited from it too but🤦🏼‍♂️ All the more reason why Tyranitar is a monster haha. I will definitely sub and can’t wait for the next Nuzlocke!

I love this! It was like you are reading us a story (which has always been a dream of mine to have Ela read stories to us. I mean what who said that?!) I think one of my favourite things is that you met loads of new friends. You look so in your element! Its obvious you have found something new you enjoy. And seeing you happy gives me that warm fuzzy feeling. :)

omg reading stories, I'd love that so much! I'll try my best to up my voice over quality and all that! I think I haven't completely figured it out yet, but I will get there.

21:00 They actually did that in Sword and Shield. The adults tried to take care of things themselves. The fans hated, saying it made them feel like the story was happening without them.

lol they take a nap instead of Die and you must release them haha That's the best part because you lose connection with that pokemon forever that reaction would have been cool to see on a newbie nuzzlock

oh I mean I knew beforehand what a nuzlocke was, as a lot of my friends are playing them. I just never tried one myself ;-; but I do prefer to box them, releasing them sounds painful, even if its basically the same outcome :0

I like who the rules say it takes a nap in the PC for the remainder of the game instead of saying it is dead. I said died on my Nuzlock with made me sad then I lost my Starter Turt😢 After I beat the game I used a revive on Turt. Maybe easier to say they are just fainted/Taking a nap as it feels wrong saying they're dead as I brought her back. I probably will just say they are fainted from now on. Even though it straight up says "Revives". So it doesn't really matter in the end does it😆

Yesss omg, taking a nap in the box is much better and less stressful on the mind I think 🥰
