Millbee's Nuzlocke Challenge

From the unofficial fan-run MindCrack and HermitCraft wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

Millbee's Nuzlocke Challenge refers to Millbee's playthrough of Pokémon FireRed using the nuzlocke ruleset. Millbee began with five rules at the start of his series, but some have since been modified:

  1. Any Pokémon that faints is considered dead, and can no longer be used in battle.
  2. Only the first Pokémon encountered in each area can be caught, unless it is a Pokémon that has already been caught.
  3. A black out/white out is considered to be game over.
  4. Pokémon can not be a higher level than that of the upcoming gym leader's highest - later made more flexible.
  5. Potions can not be used in battle - later modified to only include gym battles and rival fights.

Millbee named his trainer LOVEBOY, and his rival HATEBOY. After the release of the first episode, Millbee said of the series: "I have not been so proud of a series I have done on youtube as I am with firered in a very long time. I'm very self critical, so thats big."[1] He says the series was inspired by his interest in Pokémon Go.[2]
