You’ll probably want to write down where you’re catching Pokémon, though. Image: Game Freak/The Pokémon Company, Nintendo via Polygon While the map in Scarlet and Violet doesn’t show borders for each numbered area, the games will tell you when you’re leaving one and entering another. (Unlike in the mostly open-world spinoff Pokémon Legends: Arceus, filling out your Pokédex isn’t required to progress in Scarlet and Violet.) The map is divided into north, south, east, and west sections, with each of those further broken up into numbered areas, and the game tells you when you’re leaving one and entering another. Step 1: Limiting your PokémonĪlthough Scarlet and Violet’s world is large and open, you can still absolutely limit yourself to catching one Pokémon per named area in Paldea.
Let’s go (ha) step by step through the pillars of the Nuzlocke challenge to see what still works and what needs to be adjusted for the times. How do you do a true Nuzlocke in a game where you can scan an area and pick out the Pokémon you need, rather than getting stuck with whatever jumped out of the grass?Ī traditional Nuzlocke may not be fully possible in Scarlet and Violet, but with a little creativity - and maybe a virtual dice roller - you can keep the spirit of the challenge intact. But with Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the main series now has an open world with Pokémon roaming about freely, and there are no random encounters at all.
This all works well in Pokémon games with linear, disparate routes to journey through, ones with tall grass hiding wild Pokémon that are just waiting to jump out and attack you. The Nuzlocke requires a combination of luck and skill - and it relies very heavily upon random number generation.
The premise is simple: You can only catch the first Pokémon you encounter in each area, and if a Pokémon faints in battle, you can’t use it again for the rest of the run. The Nuzlocke challenge is a fan-favorite way to play through Pokémon games.
