wild how addicted i am to nuzlocking now lol i expect this period will abruptly end at some point in the future but i was like "lemme just finish inclement emerald so I can drop this fixation and do other things" ... then promptly started renegade platinum instead of doin anything else.

sidenote after radical red (and to a lesser extent, inclement emerald), all other games feel like torture for nuzlocking. it's absurd how much time proper level grinding takes without infinite rare candies/auto cap function. like there are tons of other great QOL features i got spoiled by in those roms (especially radred) and I know renegade platinum is a good bit older so it makes sense that it's different. but i'm like i surely hope everyone who makes romhacks now just makes at least an optional setting for infinite candies and infinite repels at the bare minimum. those features alone make the game feel so much better.

#personally i also realllly really liked the ability to turn off EVS #as well as a toggle to automatically get supplied with farmable items #as well as infinite move relearns/nature changes #however I can recognize that some hacks are purposefully designed around stuff like nature changes and iv changes being a limited resource #so i don't mind those being left out purposefully #but RR minimal grinding mode just made me go like #'oh yeah i could see myself nuzlocking hard games if it's like THIS'#it lets you get down to the actual DIFFICULTY of strategy #and not just lose to things like not being leveled enough or taking the time to meticulously EV train #which takes AGES for you to do but all the enemy trainers have perfect spreads #anyways it's funny that renplat still has good QOL over base games #like 'infinite' TMS #but i'm also aghast at the amount of level grinding i've had to do even just around the first 2 gyms #i'm like ok if you don't give me access to fast training methods until a little bit into the game alright #but there's not even that many TRAINERS to fight yet #i've had to do so much wild battling just to keep a decent number of pokemon on pace with the boss/miniboss trainers #it's an absurd waste of time #i know i could use a cheat to get candies in but #i've always had issues getting action replay cheats to work with my emulator #like sometimes they do but sometimes not and i hate the tedium of trying it till it works #so thats why i was trying this first run without candies #bc i see that there's apparently a training 'solution' in solaceon town #but now i'm like my god. how much more grinding do i need to do before i get there #pokemon sp #d
