Sick of all these FAKE Pokemon challenge runs...time for a ruleset only a TRUE Gen Winner pokemon master could accomplish! Our goal is to collect the original 151 with these INSANE restrictions in place:
SOFTCORE - I don't know how all of these other channels get away with posting their HARDCORE degeneracy on a family-friendly platform like YouTube, but I refuse to participate in this degradation of our societal moral integrity. We are SOFTcore, so there is NO CAP on level, as the kids say.
UZUNLOCKED - Everyone does this Nuzlocke runs, I guess because they're TOO DUMB to use a key or TOO LAZY to level up their lockpicking skill. Our Nuz is UNLOCKED so...it's not a nuzlocke run.
KANTO ONLY - We are ONLY allowed to use pokemon from the best region, the KANTO region!! This could be the harshest restriction yet, the challenge could prove to be impossible if we SELF-RESTRICT ourselves from powerhouses like Crobat and Steelix!!
The keen-eyed among you cannot have your accuracy reduced and may also have noticed that this just seems like a...vanilla playthrough? Maybe...but you can't advertise it that way, not in current year!! Don't ever call me old and out of touch, I'm hip to the clickbait it takes to lure in the Youngsters and their rotom phones!
Let's! Catching them all!
