I've
really been enjoying Pokemon X, I was surprised by how much the
updated graphics refreshed the experience. I've also been watching
Dan Jones' Pokemon Diamond Nuzlocke Challenge series on the Extra
Play channel and I'm considering doing a sort of roleplay run when
Sun & Moon come out.
Not
a Nuzlocke run, though. Maybe I'll do a second run of X under
Nuzlocke rules but it doesn't feel like a “new game” sort of
thing when you're as bad at keeping your Pokemon alive as I am.
No,
what I'm considering is giving my trainer character Vicki a
speciality type of Pokemon. Yes, I know that every strategy guide
ever has counselled against this very thing but I think I've found,
if not a loophole, a way to make it semi-work. The only way to be
sure is to try it.
Over
the course of X my “Pikachu”, my bestest Pokemon who takes on all
comers and wins hasn't been my starter but my Talonflame, Redbird.
There are also a ton of Flying-types I absolutely love the look of
like Emolga and Hawlucha
In
Sun & Moon (whichever has the coolest legendary on the cover)
Vicki will be training to become a Sky-Trainer. How I think this will
work is that I'll just catch whatever I can as normal to fill the
Pokedex but whenever I catch a flier I have to go the Pokecenter and
put them on my team. Oh, except for Bug types that evolve into
flyers, obviously. I might be tempted to keep things that are
obviously flying even if they aren't Flying types like Gastly or
Honedge, I'll have to have a think about that.
Maybe
I'll pick up a copy of Alpha Sapphire / Omega Ruby to test this idea
out.
