Agreed.

@Shepherd  
Me 2, Randomizers are supposed to be fun! They shouldn’t be something that isn’t fun!
 
Take a look back at Roblox’s Brick Bronze randomizer mode for those who’ve played it on Roblox in the past. You can play a randomizer without it being ridiculous

I’m trying a Randomizer on Pokemon Platinum.  
Choices for starters were a Starly, a Staryu, and an Arcanine.  
Chose to go with the Starly since Arcanine doesn’t learn any moves. Though he did start with Fire Fang. And yes, I lost my opening battle with the rival.

@Zeb  
Lmao wth did the rival chose??
 
 
…  
Also how the hell do I do a randomizer? ._.

I wish there was a way to put eggs in an online orphanage.
 
I would do a run like that.

@Takengrin Endmmar: Taken God King of Fear  
They chose the Arcanine. Cuz the Starly was in the place of the Water type and the Arcanine was in the Grass slot.  
I googled for a Randomized rom.

@Zeb  
Wait, the Type of the original starter changes the type of the Pokemon no matter what’s in the slot???

@Shepherd  
An Egg Lottery Run?

Yamper = Electric doggo.

@Lord Arceus  
More or less.

I can’t really say I care much/at all about Yamper. Or really any but like three ‘new’ Pokemon so far.

@Jarkes  

 
It became popular because Nuzlocke is a good fanfic/webcomic formula.

On second thought…maybe I should cancel.

@Lord Arceus
 
What changed your mind? Shield?

@Dirty Bit  
Probably the national Dex.

@E-123  

 
W-….  
WHAAAT????
 
Fanfic/Webcomic Formula???

@igotnopicks  
You know what, it’s not that big a deal.

@Takengrin Endmmar: Taken God King of Fear  
I mean, many people doing the Nuzlock challenge also did their own webcomics or fanfics.

@Takengrin Endmmar: Taken God King of Fear  
The pokemon’s actual type doesn’t change, no.  
But way it’s programmed:  
Let’s say: The Grass type is in slot 1, Water is in slot 2, and Fire is in slot 3.  
Your rival is programmed to pick the pokemon that’s strong against yours. So you pick from slot 1, they will automatically select slot 3. You pick slot 2, they will automatically pick slot 1.  
The choice doesn’t actually examine what pokemon is there. Just which option you chose. 1,2, or 3.
 
And yeah, I’ve seen some funn Nuzock based webcomics.

@Takengrin Endmmar: Taken God King of Fear
 
Yaa I read two by mastake.

@Dirty Bit  
Everyone here.

@Lord Arceus
 
I’m sorry I made you feel that way.

I just find the concept of “you’ll care more about your pokemon in a nuzlocke!” is stupid, contrived and borderline offensive because I never needed some arbitrary non-game based rules to make me care about my Pokemon. If anything, a nuzlocke encourages people to not actually grow attached or care about their pokemon because the rules tell you to release them if they faint. It’s just cheap, pointless, and overdone feelsbait. Just play the damn game ffs. I mean you do you and if you enjoy it, then fine, but don’t say things like how it makes things better or indirectly invalidate others’ playing styles.

@LightningBolt  
People will care about their Pokemon even playing the game normally. Yeah, you will care more about your pokemon, but thats because you are playing on a “Permadeath” Mode where a stupid choise or decision will cost you to reset the game.
