Pokemon HeartGold - Grass Types Only Hardcore Nuzlocke

I wanted to try a monolocke of a main line Pokemon game - so what better way to embrace the challenge than with Grass types in HeartGold where there are multiple boss battles where Grass Pokemon are at a significant disadvantage! Join me on my quest to become the greatest trainer in Johto and Kanto using only Grass type Pokemon all while following hardcore nuzlocke rules! But what is a nuzlocke I hear you ask? Chances are if you are reading this then you already know, but for those who don't... A nuzlocke is a specific ruleset that is applied to a playthrough of a Pokémon game to deliberately make the game harder for the player. A hardcore nuzlocke then adds additional rules, mostly forbidding items usage in battle to make the challenge even harder! The standard hardcore nuzlocke ruleset I use is: 1. I can only catch the first Grass type Pokémon I come across on each route 2. If a Pokémon faints it is considered dead and cannot be used again 3. Gym leader level caps are in play - my Pokémon cannot be a higher level than the next gym leader's highest levelled Pokémon 4. No items can be used during battles (outside of battle is OK) 5. Playing on Set mode 6. Duplicates clause is active meaning if my encounter on any given route is in the same evolutionary line as a Pokémon I have already caught, I get another encounter on that route ***** Follow me on Twitter for new nuzlocke updates:   / redvogg   ***** #pokemon #pokemonchallenge #nuzlocke #nuzlockechallenge #pokemonheartgold #pokemonnuzlocke #grasstypepokemon
