I’ve never completed a nuzlocke before, the farthest I ever got was in Platnium and I quit after my monferno died so I’m going to change that with Pokémon FIRERED

Please give me tips!

    Exp grind even though it’s long and tedious it’s worth it

    I still need to complete my first ever nuzlocke, I have never actually started one.

    Despite being present for the creation of the webcomic that inspired Nuzlockes, I never actually attempted one myself.

    Does The Pokémon Company still consider it hacking or are sponsored streams allowed to do them now?

    You are doing FireRed right? If so be SURE to get the potion from out of your PC at home before leaving your in game house.

    also I’m picking squirtle since it’s my least favourite (it is my third favourite Kanto starter but I don’t have as much attachment to it

    I also forgot to mention HEAL FREQUENTLY because the main objective is to not let your PKMN faint/die. So stock up on potions for outside of battle.

    the more you study upcoming battles and pokemon appearance probabilities then the more you get out of a completed run. If you just want to have fun do a soullocke with a friend :)

    I also decided that I have to fight every trainer because I’m not skipping them, it’s too much of a hassle
