I Banned Half the Pokédex in Renegade Platinum! - Gen IV Romhack Hardcore Nuzlocke

Pokémon Renegade Platinum is a catch-em-all advanced difficulty romhack of Pokémon Platinum created by Drayano!

Normal Nuzlocke Ruleset:
1. Fainting = Death
2. Can only catch one eligible encounter per unique encounter table (this is a slight change to the one encounter per route; e.g. Route 210 North & South were counted as two separate encounters); Species Clause!
3. Nickname Pokémon

Hardcore Nuzlocke Ruleset:
4. No items in battle (held items okay)
5. No leveling past the next gym leader/E4 (at the START of the battle)
6. Play on "Set" battle mode

Additional Rules:
7. No set-up moves (e.g. Swords Dance, Calm Mind, Nasty Plot)
8. EVs turned off!

Love how drayano the creator of this rom hack is just casually in his chat.

Every time you defeat a gym leader, the entire team "retires" and is boxed.

That intro really shows FlygonHG's increase in budget, so proud to see him moving up in the business.

Taskmaster the Ninjask truly lives up to the high standards set by Queen Basalt. Cicadas keep winning!

The Rest turn carryover is the most impressively esoteric piece of Pokemon knowledge out there

I salute you Doctor HG

[tatarashi]

every snaplocke not only makes us more aware how good other pokemon are, (especially in drayano's roms) but also brings awareness to how much more pokemon flygon's fans need to ban

What? SquareSpace isn't sponsoring anymore? What parallel dimension are we living in?

Dialga&Palkia: You will not survive, cat!


T’chubby: Death is a choice. *And I reject it.*

This is the umpteenth snaplocke you’ve done and somehow that intro title card with your voices never gets old

I love how everyone was so terrified of the almighty power of Peach that many people joined together to ban Luvdisc. And yes, I was one of those people.

avengers nuzelock where all previous entrants for past snaplocks are voted on, and the bottom half are imported into one game

Fun fact about Renegade Platinum Delibird, it can be a guaranteed encounter on Route 116 and with 110 Special Attack and 110 Speed for it’s base stats, as well as Technician Air Cutter and access to Aurora Beam, Delibird is capable of outspending and OHKO’ing 4 of Gardenia’s 6 Pokemon without taking a hit

I only know this because I did it myself the other day, it was a lot of fun! Renegade Platinum has so many nice changes to so many Pokemon, like Plusle’s fun support moveset with Encore, Wish and the Thunder Wave TM, or Sunflora being able to sweep almost all of Rorak single handedly. It’s a very nice hack to use Pokémon I’ve never tried before and see them shine!

Queen Basalt's legacy lives on through Taskmaster.

If Girafarig is a horse,
and Rapidash is a cow,



is Miltank a giraffe???🦒

What this demonstrates is that sometimes the most dangerous fights are not the "boss" fights, it’s the trickier than average Ace Trainers that you haven’t prepared for.

Nuzlocke Idea: One Pokemon from each generation only. This type of challenge could be played in any generation for varying difficulty (anywhere from 1 to 9 total encounters). Different encounter rules could be applied to adjust the difficulty as well. For instance, a forced order that makes you catch from Gen 1, then 2 then 3 etc. or reverse which would allow you to take a starter Pokemon and work backwards to Gen 1.

I think this challenge would be a great combination of difficulty through limiting total encounters, but also offer a variety of teams for each game and Pokemon types to build diverse rosters. Encounters could either be "semi-random" meaning you start the run and just see what happens, or encounter routing could be planned out before the run starts, allowing some control over the team you build. I think this would be a great challenge for generations 3 and on and would be fun to watch!

Go Sox!

King T'Challa absolutely deserves a spot in the FlygonHG Hall of Fame.
