general

so I bet it's good

rip

did yours fail

I mean, they're still alive

they just don't seem to be growing

Just keep trying

dont give up on them

I mean, at a certain point I will, but not yet

but yeah, hot sauce is good

between Kavanaugh and LGBTQueens

as it should be

Back when I ate ramen, I'd like to poach an egg in the broth, maybe add chili sauce and green onions if available

chili sauce?

interesting

holy fuck he won

Why did he not evolve his rowlet

because the writers suck

he never evolves his mons fully

Except for all the times he does

he never evolves *all of them

Well duh, pikachu is still there

But why do the pikachu gimmick with another one

there's multipl every season he doesn't evolve

he only evolved Melmetal and Lycanroc this series

has two mid form starters

cus the final evos are scarier and ash is a bitch

I thought his xy team had all fully evolved ones except pikachu anyway

At least in his main team

he had a Noibat

oh wait this article is old

and bulbapedia is down

because the writers are dumb and gave rowlet an evolite stone or whatever its called that prevents evolution

everstone

eviolite is a stat boosting item

ah everstone, ty

too tired to remember stones

so what should the Sword and Shield blind nuzlocke rules be?

1 catch in the overworld for each gym badge?

Probably each wild area your allowed to catch 1 pokemon

Each time you have to run through it to get to a new destination

No, wild areas are the spaces between towns

most of the overworld is a single area though

hmm, maybe 1 grass, and 1 fishing/ water Pokemon in each wild areas

since there so big

That's why I said maybe one per trip through it

there's probably pokemon that appear as the story progresses

More than likely

what about 1 catch for every gym, and raid defeated?

you get pokemon for raids

hm

or some at least

there's an option to not catch it

there's got to be obstacles that open up in the big area as you progress, maybe count the new parts as separate areas

wild areas are like multiple routes in size

and modern pokemon is stupidly easy except for the mega-necrozma boss fight

maybe 2 versions? One has you only catch one Pokemon in a new wild area, the other has you do both grass and water so 2 in a new wild area

just an idea though

maybe the game will actually be difficult, and we'll be able to tell by the time we get rods or surf

getting a bike is surf

you ride your bike like surf

are you sure its not a bike upgrade?

it looked like a normal bike to me

maybe it is, but they gave no indication of that in the showing of it

They just said now your bike can work on water! So you can go anywhere

this is a normal looking bike?

It looks like a bike with floaty water wheels attached to the tires

its probably a smartphone app you install after progressing a bit

Nice clown suit

they took these screenshots from the future

I feel like I'll do a proper playthrough on my main account first then do a nuzlocke on an alt if i don't hate the game

online raid battles make me want to have a save to keep for it

Maybe sword and shield will be bullshit to nuzlocke like sun and moon

Fuck the totem pokemon, made nuzlocking that game ass because something was guaranteed to get nuked by a z move each time

ultra sun and moon had the issues, not really the original ones

you just wipe on Ultra Necrozma

it 1-shots everything

Late game u can bullshit ur way through with drugs a bit

But the z move fights are what made me not even bother finishing

Cuz the rest of the game nuzlocke was boring af
