9Nexalas6's nuzlocke challenge, Game of chance!
« on: April 02, 2012, 03:48:13 PM »
I've seen some interesting nuzlocke's on the internet, and one caught my eye. I made a nuzlocke  challenge similar to that one, where you can only rely on luck in certain occasions.

1) May only capture the first poke'mon encountered.
2) Once a pokemon faints, it's dead, you have to release it.
3) Can only have a maximum of 2 stat altering moves of any type per pokemon.

4) For gym leader, rival, organization admin, elite four, champion or legendary battle, the following rules apply:
-Move selection is determined by drawing playing cards.(Each suite is assighned to a different move.) If you draw a joker of any kind, you can freely choose 1 move.
-To use an item, a coin must be flipped and result in heads.
-If a pokemon faints[dies], or an attempt to switch out is being made, the next pokemon brought out is determined by dice roll.

5) The rules in rule 4 can be applied to all battles, but this is optional.
6) Revive, max revive, and full restore are banned and cant be used.

Oooh! This seems like a gamble! I'll do it! It actually seems very original with the playing card idea. I'll reord my efforts xD

That's the idea, and it makes the game alot more interesting too. So far I'm doing good with the pokemon white nuzlocke, and the gambling makes all the battles fun.

This seems counterproductive when it comes to the idea of Nuzlocke. Its supposed to be a challenge; a harder version of the game where you must rely on skill to win. This, on the other hand is all about luck. Its no longer about skill its about whether you're lucky enough to draw the right card/roll the right die.

I dunno, it doesn't seem like a good idea, but other people might like it.
The thrill in playing a game does not come from our chances of winning. It is the weight and pressure of losing that fuels our fascination. It is why people challenge, why they gamble and why they compete. The adrenaline that comes from defying defeat is what motivates us.

I see your point, and that's fine if you think that way. But there are also certain ways to use stradegy, but I wont tell about it here.
