[Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl] Are you going to play normally, or try a challenge run?

[Sheep]

For your first playthrough do you plan to play normally? Or are you interested in trying a challenge during your first run through BDSP?

I'm going to play normally :)

Normally. I will probably save the challenge run for Shining Pearl, if I ever go back to the Ultimate Flying Monotype Challenge I started on here...last year? I don't even remember, haha. But I'm not one who really does things like this, so I'll just play Brilliant Diamond normally.

 

[Hermione Granger]

Playing normally on both my two games.

 

[Louise90]

I am going to play normal

 

[Zeostar]

Normally. No other reason but preferring these games leisurely.

 

[Catgirl Rika]

I am gonna play normally. I don't like doing challenge runs personally myself, but watching them online is another thing.

 

[Raticate128]

I plan to do a mostly normal run, but with a couple of "rules".

For one, I'm going to box my starter. In my previous DPP playthroughs I always used my starter, so I think this will make a nice change.

And I'm going to research the levels of Gym Leaders+E4 before battling them, and not let myself become higher levelled than them. I'm hoping that'll add a bit of challenge and force me to strategize a bit rather than just OHKO stuff. xD

Just a normal playthrough, while trying to put mons I've never used before on my team.

for my first (and let's be real - probably only) playthrough i think i'll just play it normally. i'm not a fan of restarting games, so i'd have to pick up the second version to attempt any sort of challenge.

 

[Sphinx of the Red Blaze]

I think I'm going to do what someone else on the thread said and just go and box my starter. Never done that before so it could be really fun.

Alright, a great question! My answer shall be…





A Nuzlocke. Yep, exactly like SS, I plan to get both versions and do a nuzrun straight from the get go. Hopefully things turn out fine…

 

[bobandbill]

Echoing the majority - normally. I'll try to use Pokemon I haven't used before (or not much), but not imposing any special challenges on myself.

 

[Alex]

If they're doing the force Exp Share thing I might do a run where if a Pokemon faints I just box it/release it. Other than that, not planning anything crazy.

 

[edfrick]

Been watching a lot of Pokémon Challenges recently on YT, honestly has gotten me huge into the whole "hardcore nuzlocke" thing so I'm for sure gonna try one for BDSP.

Normally.
I usually do challenges and crazy stuff at Battle Tower or pvp free battles
