6th Gen Thoughts on Nuzlocking?

[MiniMinun]

Hey all, as everyone else, I cannot wait for ORAS... (Although it comes out on friday which sucks a little bit). I have been waiting for a Hoenn remake FOREVER, and now that it's here, two things come to mind: I am almost done the National Dex on X and Y, and I have played through Hoenn a billion different times.

So, I have been thinking about doing a Nuzlocke, as I have never done one in Hoenn (Imagine that) and I really don't feel like re-catching everything. Is anyone else planning on Nuzlocking ORAS, or doing any other challenge, or do you think it's just a bad idea? I'm really not sure at this point.

You should check the Challenge forum, there's plenty of people who are going to do a challenge and there are a lot of varieties in challenges aside from the Nuzlocke challenge.

Me, personally, I'm going to do a challenge, but I'll make up my own rules. I do want to catch every Pokémon even if I won't use them. But for instance I'm going to ban myself from using potions during combat, and not allow myself to use any held items, berries, or stat boosters either. I'm also not going to do Super Training until after the Elite 4, and so on. Just a few things I can do to make my playthrough a little more challenging :)

Super training is virtually useless on your main team after the Elite 4. Unless you can snag a reset bag or you have a bunch of EV decreasing berries.

Super training was fun at first but using a power item + pokerus + horde make it faster. And for the evolution stone the minigames on Global Link give tons of them, they even give upgrade and other items that are used for evolution.

I never bothered to do it nor will I ever. I just want to play the game and that's it. Sorry for being a stick in the mudkip :P

I'm aware, but I'm sure that I will get one or two reset bags eventually. ^^

I won't be unlocking, but I'll be adding a challenge with my own rules such as no exp. shares, possibly no potions in battle, nicknaming, and no held items.
