Gen 9 nuzlocke is weird in the sense that there are so many "major trainer" battles that lv caps are so close to each other sometimes
#Pokemon
fading stratus
Like I think the first gym has a cap of 15 and titan has cap of 16 or third gym has cap of 25 and the fire chick has cap of 26
outer eagle
So it’s like ORAS, except even worse 
fading stratus
I actually haven't nuzlocked oras so no idea
outer eagle
ORAS kept the level jumps from the original base games
Except with a broken Exp System
So you literally have to hold yourself back from sending out some mons just to avoid overleveling
Additionally, Tate and Liza’s level cap is 45
fading stratus
here's what i found online and i'm too bored to verify its legitimacy for SV
outer eagle
Wallace’s is 46 
fading stratus
oh yeah wasn't this a problem with base games too i forgot
like tate and liza fight and the fight at the space station
outer eagle
Yeah cause Tate and Liza only has 2 mons
So you are expected to win 6v2 while sacrificing a few mons in the process
While underleveled
Obviously this doesn’t work in a nuzlocke
fading stratus
its fixed in emerald i think
fading stratus
Yeah in Emerald they have a team of 4? Iirc
yeah xatu and claydol with solrock and lunatone iirc
outer eagle
I really want to make Emerald my definitive game for a Hoenn nuzlocke
But no Physical Special split hurts too many mons
fading stratus
That's the biggest reason I don't like to nuzlocke gen 3 games tbh

base emerald isnt really that difficult

There shouldnt be any interaction since all draw and claw do is make you move first in your priority bracket, so moves with 0 priority should still work

Isn't that card like $500?
bleak pine
Yeah, there's like, an actual shortage of Paldea Evolved recently because of this card.
Iono's just that popular.
It helps that the card is actually really good in decks, essentially having the same kind of effect as N.
bleak pine
The Uncommon printing without the full art is still rather affordable, if making decks is all you need.
crimson moat
It’s mostly the waifu tax in Japan
slate marlin
I doubt I can play competitively.
Like, elemental RPS aside, I’m just not a strategic thinker.
crimson moat
Yeah expense wise the regular Iono isn’t even 2 USD a copy. Most decks top out at 2 copies
Gardevoir runs 4, but that’s also the cheapest deck in the format
bleak pine
Recent trends have actually made some sets paid-to-order; you send an order to The Pokémon Company, and then they'd produce and ship a booster box to you. It was made as a response to many, many people buying out these sets in such a rapid pace that finding a booster pack was an event unto itself
crimson moat
It also probably contributes to why Ruler of the Black Flame’s news is so slow compared to normal: they don’t want to risk another sell-out and want to keep the idea of delaying Ruler open
bleak pine
It has a Charizard in it, so it's really just a foregone conclusion.
crimson moat
They already pushed out one of the products over the summer to mid autumn
bleak pine
...Then again, Charizard's only really, stupidly popular in the west.
So they may have different trends.
crimson moat
Obsidian Flame is a really, really lopsided western pack
slate marlin
Can I show off my cards?
bleak pine
Yeaaah, cool artwork for a lot of cards, but nothing much that would appeal to those whol actually play the TCG
crimson moat
1 semi competitive Charizard
Minimal gimmicky cards
And the rest is starter deck cards and rejects that didn’t make it into Paldea Evolved
The last time a lopsided pack happened like this we got Fusion Strike, and that pack had issues with manufacturing employees stealing cards off the line
slate marlin
What?!
crimson moat
Yeah a combination of the worst pull rates ever in the game coupled with randos retroactivity revealing that they had a lot of high rarity cards on hand
The easiest conclusion is that the high demand stuff was pulled off the manufacturing line before it even reached the packs
Fusion Strike and Evolving Skies having these shit pull rates was the reason PTCG changed the pack structure for gen 9
slate marlin
Yikes.
crimson moat
Alt Art Mew being reported as double to triple the pull rate odds as any other card of the same rarity is jarring
spice rivet
Ya, Fusion Strike and Evolving Skies was stupid
I bought 2 Boxes of Evolving Skies and opened one. I have never negged so gard on a sealed product in my life
Im keeping the 2nd one sealed and I have a sealed box FS

tbf intimidate has a lot less value rn since crits just ignore it

I thought about that, but since bundle's play rate is in the gutter rn I figured it was fine. I'm more worried about the fact that non-vested H-Arcanine just feels sub-optimal

Random fakemon idea just now
small mammal, preferably a mouse, that can evolve at every single level, but each evolution only give it minor visual change and changes it typing to the other 17 types it currently does not have, making so the fakemon can evolve 99 times and possible to have 18 different forms
Not sure if I wanna give RNG gimmick, give it a type-order to follow so you know which form it takes next, or hold items to guarantee what you want then Everstone it
Maybe the Hold items doesn’t disappear after one use and it’s infinite use instead, I don’t like it when the items is gone 🙂

Rock as in the type
outer eagle
if Fissure is a viable move on Lu then i suppose Rocks is more reliable ig
maiden flax
Stealth rocks are better in singles too but there's a lot of good ways to get rocks up consistently and keeping them on the field is important so rocks on something as squishy as kleavor isnt as good as just using a bulkier rocker
fading stratus
fissure is also okay because it makes stomping tantrum a 150 base power move if it misses tbf
maiden flax
Fissure is basically "if i miss ill be doing the same damage as if I press tantrum twice, so might as well make the first one have the potential to kill"

later on most people just played ruination over fissure anyway
also like ting lu is so bulky that it can afford to run fissure as it'll stay on the field a lot longer

They are interesting, but kinda don’t like how they replaced infinite use TMs for one-use TMs craft from these ingredients

Maybe it's to give you a sense of accomplishment and make you choose wisely which mons learn the move?

Mmm, felt very limited during early game
Not enough parts? Too bad no False swipe tm for you
I guess it’s just me haven’t play any older games, where it’s similar to current TMs system

Conversely, I have only played older games.

Depends on what’s considered “older” games
I have played gens 3 to 7, so realistically speaking i have experienced 2 gens with consumable TMs and 3 with infinite

I played gen 3 and 4, I think.
outer eagle
The problem in the old games with making something as powerful as TMs one-time use, with most of them being unfarmable, was that it directly led to the “too precious that you never use it” trope
Personally for me, i frequently played through gen 3/4 games without teaching any TM at all up until the E4, cause “i might need it for something better later”

Bea: Had a whole episode dedicated to her in Twilight Wings, and was Ash's rival in Journeys
Opal: Appeared in 2 episodes of Journeys filler as a major character
Alister: Had a whole episode dedicated to him in Twilight Wings, and trained Ash in Gigantimax
Piers: Appeared in the single episode they had for Ash vs Marnie
Raihan: Battled in both Twilight Wings (Vs Leon) and Journeys (Vs Leon, Vs Ash)
Gordie, Melony, Kabu: Did not appear in Journeys and had no more than 1 non-speaking cameo anywhere else.
Special mention to Kabu also being the only 1 of those 3 not in Masters. I am pretty sure he's the only Galar character who has yet to be voice acted at all
