It's time for a new adventure! After having trekked through many of these games time and time again, I wanted to have one final ultimate challenge in the vanilla mainline Pokemon franchise... Can I beat, every SINGLE Pokemon game in chronological order in a hardcore nuzlocke setting, and without reusing a single Pokemon in any other game? For instance, if I use Bulbasaur in Red version, I won't be able to use it in Blue, Yellow, Firered, or any other game. Come along on this journey with me and find the struggles, the cuts, the innovations, the strategies, and the potential laughs along the way.

FAQ:
Q. What are those non-nicknamed Pokemon in your party for, do they count towards the total?
A. They're HM users, nothing more. No, they don't count towards the total since they're never used in battle. Except Espeon and Umbreon, I still have yet to look up if Colosseum has a name rater lolol

Q. What are the 39 games involved in this series?
A. Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Colosseum, FireRed, LeafGreen Emerald, XD, Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, SoulSilver, Black, Black 2, White, White 2, X, Y, Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, Sun, Ultra Sun, Moon, Ultra Moon, Let's Go Eevee, Let's Go Pikachu, Sword, Shield, Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl, Legends Arceus, Scarlet, and Violet.

Q. What about games like FR/LG where you get a starter that you've already used, do you fail the challenge?
A. No, since the nuzlocke doesn't start until I receive Pokeballs, I simply go out and capture an unused Pokemon at full HP and continue after boxing the starter.

Q. Are you choosing your encounters?
A. Yes, I have a document where I've laid out encounters for the entire franchise. But isn't that against the spirit of a nuzlocke? I don't think so, I think the battles are the main challenge, after all, I can just reset the run to get the right first encounter, but that would make producing these videos a lot slower and less enjoyable.
