Depends on the type of nuzlocke and your play style... I tend to find nuzlockes boring if the player is overly cautious or spend too much time thinking of what could happen, without thinking about what will actually happen (plus with the nature of Nuzlockes, risky play makes them more interesting imo). Also, I've recently grown found of watching Nuzlockes with randomized pokemon encounters... And I'm not sure if that will be possible in SS due to a lot of the Pokemon not being in the system anymore (I would still give a normal Locke run a watch however... Just been the type of Nuzlockes I've watched recently).
I realize that, but I want to give it a try. Make me care about the Pokemon I catch.
Standard Nuzlocke rules, catch only the first Pokemon you encounter in an area, not counting repeats. If it faints, you missed your shot. If you pokemon faints, it is considered dead and must be released (or given away). If you pass out from losing all your party, it is game over even if you have more pokemon in the box. You must nickname all your pokemon. Plus a few other rules I'll decide on.
There are a few clauses I would recommend for you, one being the species clause (this can work in two ways: make it so you can't catch pokemon of the same evolution line as a pokemon you already own or make it so you can... It depends on how much of a variety you have to work with) and the box clause (where you cab have a "dead" box instead of releasing the Pokemon... As a way to keep track of how many you have lost and can more easily morn the fallen.) Other useful clauses are catching clause (which lets you catch multiple pokemon on a route if said route as multiple ways to catch a pokemon... Things like Surfing and fishing come to mind there) and the No Items Clause (this is more of a challenge clause that makes it so you can't use items in battle... But is still a fun one)
If you get your hands on a randomizer, there are a ton of other various challenges you can run. One of my favorites is the Typelocke (where you can only catch on of each type of pokemon, having to state what type you are counting it as if you encounter a duel type mon)... though a higher level randomizer (not fully extreme) can add some crazy unpredictability to the mix (like a Togepi using Geomancy XD)
I don't think Gen 8 is going to have wonder trading anymore :/
That sucks. I loved Wonder trading, especially when you suddenly get a legendary for a Bulbasaur.
If it is getting removed, I'm blaming all of the bastards who throw their obviously hacked in pokemon on the market
Yeah. What's the point of hacking anyway? What is the point of buying a game where the goal is to complete a collection then cheating to complete it. Or to raise the best team but hacking to alter stats. That's like... playing a souls game for its tough, challenging but exhilarating bosses then hacking the game to make all the bosses die in one hit.
The reason you don't understand why people hack is the reason the Gameshark became popular in the first place. It was designed to profit off of people who were either too lazy to actually play the game, or too gullible to realize how harmful rom hacks can be to a cartage. Not all romhacks are bad however (Mods, which are a type of hack, often let to the creation of brand new games/genres such as CS, DOTA and, more recently, Auto Chess).
Or you could just use Pokemon Showdown because competitive battling on Wifi only matters if you are planning on attending VGC (and even then, power training and other methods [such as the new nature setter in Gen 8] have made that grind less of a hassle than it used to be... so there's really no point in hacking a perfect competitive mon anymore)
Not know much about Pocket Monsters?
Perhaps we should educate him in the art of enslaving world-ending beast to fight in battles of pride and entertainment... while stopping an evil organization at the age of 10 because "WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE COPS?" XD
