I'm currently playing through Pokémon emerald rogue; a romhack for emerald which changes the game into a modern roguelike with all the expected bells and whistles. It's got a hub/home zone where you earn money by attempting runs, and places to spend it. The game settings are surprisingly robust allowing you to fully customize how easy/hard your game is, with the only constant being permadeath for your pokes
I, however, seem to be somewhat of a masochist and am attempting this as a hardcore nuzlocke (only one encounter per area, no items in battle) and while this attempt has been fairly shoddy it's my furthest attempt yet
This is my team so far, and while I've lost a few key team members, so far everyone has come in clutch when I needed them the most
Really cannot understate how good huge power Medicham is, especially with bulk up, recover, high jump kick, and an elemental punch lol
Shallots has also been wonderful with sleep powder, growth, leech seed and Petal Dance
Clefable (forgot time nickname them lol) is a phenomenal tank/cleric with access to wish and/or moonlight and stealth rocks
Crapshot was my last encounter before the first E4 member and I really didn't expect them to be all that useful. The latter half of the game's bosses have great held items and great coverage but they put in work whenever we find a choice item user
Edison I just caught and was at first disappointed in, but they should be really good for Wallace, if I don't just use them as a sacrifice for a safe swap in with one of the aforementioned pary members
Just 3 E4 members left, and both Hoenn champions and then I can say I've beat this bastard of a game lol
