I made at least 15 Nuzlocke challanges and this is the first one that i made pubblic...and i failed.

GAME OVER

CONTINUE?

Eh, it's not your fault. This mod is probably impossible to Nuzlocke if you actually follow the rules. I suggest you turn it into a normal LP!

Infact it was the idea since i started the Nuzlocke. In case of faliure i will continue the game but as a normal LP. I find the hackrom to intresting to be finish the game here.

This is fantastic so far. Almost done with Melemele, only the Grand Trial left. The first Totem was surprisingly easy, but that's probably because I trained an Alakazam with maxed EVs on Sp.Atk, which is insanely OP at this point in the game, thank god for the trade evolutions being actual evolutions!

What kicked my ass the hardest was that Route 3 Ace Trainer though, holy christ what was that!? The vanilla game had a cute concept of showing how the Red Card works, but this version took that concept and absolutely ran with it to extreme lengths, by the time Shuckle came out every switch crippled my Pokemon so much my entire team was poisoned and at 50% or less HP in a few turns. Alakazam didn't save me here, considering how fragile he is and his non existent type coverage, made it by the skin of my teeth using everything I had on my team.
This is really great stuff.

Also I wanted to record a let's play or at the very least a no commentary recording (since I'm a boring commentator to an awkward level), but figured capture cards were too expensive... that was before I found out about NTR software streaming, and unfortunately after I had already put 7 hours into the game, rendering any kind of complete let's play impossible at this point :(
Oh well, maybe next time I suppose.

Thank you for making these games enjoyable as single player adventures, I really do appreciate it. I'll check back when I beat it and post my team, maybe record the final fights.

EDIT: I pretty much destroyed the Kahuna. I half expected it due to how OP my Alakazam is right now, and the kahuna being a fighting type trainer and all, but it was a bit sad because I didn't even see his Z-move or what most of the sets were about. More incentive to replay the game though. I'm also a bit overleveled due to wandering around too much with the refresh XP bonuses, going to pack repels for the next island.

Also tested NTR recording, looks okay to me but I had to drop the quality down to avoid frame drops.

I'm going to try to record major fights from now on but no promises.

Level 30 max EV Alakazam lmaooo. Yeah you won't have a problem for a while.

Yeah, I may or may not have overreacted to the challenge back when I was still using the legit build and have spent some time EV training a +Sp.atk Abra (-def though) I happened to catch. The hack makes it easy to do so with the early power items.
It's not a perfect spread though, my entire team has garbage random EVs, I only managed to perfect one stat each while I still had at least half the points to spare.

I may box Alakazam for a while because of type coverage anyway, I need a defensive mon to pivot from too.

Hey there!

Overall, I'm loving the game. However, I do have one question.

Every time I try to Buy from any Pokémart, the game freezes w the music still playing and I have to eject the cart and reload. Is there any way I can fix this? Thanks!

Are you running HANS or Luma + LayeredFS? If HANS, when rebuild it because custom .cro files, which the shop loads, can't be used by non-CFW systems.

Read the FAQ.

Update your Sun/Moon to v1.2.

Follow the instructions in the FAQ post that tell you which folders to delete to update the mod from v1.4 or below to v1.5+.

I don't know if you would do this, but maybe in the future for the Expanded Build, because Island Scans pokes are in the wild, you could have legendaries be Island Scan. I did the calculations, and if you just did cover legends and mythicals (minus Solgaleo, Lunala, Magearna, and Marshadow of course) all of them would fit perfectly in the 28 slots.

Hi i'm currently using Boot9strap with Luma 7.1 to play Nova Sun 1.6. My game is updated to 1.2 and I have the files in the right places, but when I launch sun it gets through the Nintendo 3DS logo and then nothing shows up, can't even turn it off so it's a softlock. Anyway I could fix this?

This sounds like you didn't properly follow the instructions to remove an old SaltySD build (or code.bin patch for something else like removed outlines). Go read the second post of this thread.

I got rid of the SaltySD packs, so it must be the code.bin which I wanted to use for no outlines.

@Dio Vento I read the second post and deleted every folder it told me to, downloaded a fresh 1.6, put it in my SD, and it still won't boot. Even got rid of the code.ips for no outlines so it should be working right?

    @Xdqwerty No you heard wrong, and don't believe till you experience yourself. Fallout 4 is one of my favorite games of all time. Yes it had issues early on, esp with older hardware like the xbox1, but it is awesome, esp now being 4k on Series S/X or PS5

    @BigOnYa, Then i think people were talking about fallout 76
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    that one was buggy too
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you right there, fallout 76 was a letdown, but it not that bad now, they have fixed slot of issues they had at launch. Biggest issue with Fallout 76 is its a pay to advance further type of game, which sucks
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, I may probably download fallout 3 or new vegas on my ps3
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    cuz I didnt like fallout 1 that much

    New Vegas is awesome, F3 was ok too.
