Kit Ellis and Krista Yang, two former Nintendo Minute hosts who have worked on Nintendo PR for several years, provided insight into Pokemon’s opinions on Nuslog. This is clearly something that is viewed very negatively.
Ellis revealed during a recent episode Kid and Krista Podcast In an episode of Nintendo Minute, an idea was floated to try Nuzlock Run. Unfortunately, the project was immediately suspended.
Ellis said:
“We thought it would be a fun idea for a Nintendo Minute video, and we had a great story to tell about it, so we sent it to The Pokemon Company and said, ‘Hey, we want to turn on Nusslog. -What do you think?’ “Here’s what we think” – Bam! So they say, “We think it’s on the same scale as hacking” – ROM piracy.
Oops, it’s a game-style that everyone can sign up for – no hacking, just play the game. It’s really “wait what?” the answers “.
Yang added, “It’s like a lot of the creators played Nusslag-style Pokemon and it got wiped out of their creator program.”
Nuzlocke challenges have been in the Pokemon series for a significantly long time. These are the rules that players impose on themselves to increase the difficulty of the games. No hacking or external modification of the code.
