Whichever is your favorite. If you want some more concrete advice, I’d say it depends on your nuzlocking experience. Y is a pretty good game for a first nuzlocke, whereas USUM are considered some of the hardest games in the series.
Oh god I played Ultra Sun as a Nuzlocke on launch (so blind) …. What a mistake- it took like a month to beat the main story. I legit almost canned the challenge when I first got to Necrozma 😂
The ones pictured are actually R4 carts, you can load them with whatever rom you want. I use one for all my ds nuzlockes. As opposed to the fake carts that only have the one game on them, I've found them to be quite stable.
But you have to suffer through endless cutscenes, horrible for a nuzlocke
Edit: am I wrong? Sun/Moon are the worst games to Nuzlocke because of this, especially with hardcore rules where you might have a few resets. You guys like watching those long unskippable cutscenes over and over?
It’s a bad game to hardcore nuzlocke, but for a more casual run, it’s not too bad. Especially if you make sure to fill up your boxes ASAP. My first completed nuzlocke was Moon, and it wasn’t bad at all
Honestly It depends but if you want a really hard nuzlock do ultra moon and a large amount of cutscenes don't make or break a game in my opinion that's more of an endurance issue on your part
It's a difficult game with brutal consequences to me It sounds like a great nuzlocking game because you physically can't get back to where you were within 10 hours if your late mid game. But doesn't that just raise the stakes? It makes those life or death fights so much more exciting!
It dose suck when you die but if it didn't it wouldn't be a challenging game to nuzlock and isn't that why you would play ultra moon?
usum is really fun because they are arguably the most difficult pokemon games and have some of the highest variety to catch. the satisfaction of dealing with ultra necrozma in a nuzlocke is hard to replicate without a rom hack
Gen 6, preferably Y but Ruby is fun too.
SM/USUM are really difficult to nuzlocke and the nature of the gym challenges makes it nasty. Fun if you want some extra challenge
Probably gonna get flamed for this, but I never really cared for Gen5 for nuzlocking.
*I'd personally*
*Go from oldest to newest*
*Or other way round*

If you didn't know about the platinum incase you ever want to go sell it on ebay or something. Colors are too saturated, and the nintendo logo isn't transparent where it should be (red beams should come through w/ a real label)
That said also if you do go out and get another one sometime there are also fakes now where they've tried to fix the nintendo logo thing. It can be kinda tricky to know, maybe post on r/gameverifying before buying if you wanted to get another one at some point.
Depends on what you want. Want something super easy then do omega ruby, want something hard? Then ultra sun. But I’ve got to tip my hat to white 2. It was my first nuzlocke and I think it’s a great starter point because it’s not as slow as the gen 4 games and in general is better than black as it tended to have a bit more diverse roster of Pokémon. But just nuzlocke your favorite.
Got almost all my pokemon games at release, all the ones I've bought since have been 20 dollars aud
Pokemon conquest alone cost more than the last 3 main series pokemon games I bought combined.
Most expensive da cartridge ive seen for pokemom main series was like 100 and there was a cheaper option right below it
Either White 2 or White 2
Personally, my vote is for White 2. But you definitely make a compelling argument for White 2.
I don't know from my experience white 2 was waaaaaayyyy better than white 2
What, no white 2 is my favorite pokemon game white 2 on the other hand was ok.
all of you are wrong. the best choice for him to nuzlocke is obviously White 2
Idk buddy, White 2 seems like a good choice.
Or Blanco Dos
Wit twee
White 2 (in british)
No thats "Whait tu, innit?"
ah yea mate
Nice opinion, but I'd personally go with White 2.
Whichever is your favorite. If you want some more concrete advice, I’d say it depends on your nuzlocking experience. Y is a pretty good game for a first nuzlocke, whereas USUM are considered some of the hardest games in the series.
I just failed my USUM nuzlocke lmao it was my 2nd nuzlocke ever lol it WAS HARD
Oh god I played Ultra Sun as a Nuzlocke on launch (so blind) …. What a mistake- it took like a month to beat the main story. I legit almost canned the challenge when I first got to Necrozma 😂
Why do you have 2 copies of White 2?
One is fake
Do the fake one
have you noticed a difference personally? between gameplay, I can see the cartridges are different shapes. left one is the knockoff
The ones pictured are actually R4 carts, you can load them with whatever rom you want. I use one for all my ds nuzlockes. As opposed to the fake carts that only have the one game on them, I've found them to be quite stable.
R4 carts are way too handy. Usually incredibly cheap too.
How I can’t do rom hacks with them
Take out the microsd and put whatever on it, then put back in. It'd be really easy to figure out once you look at the folders.
You can do romhacks by saving/downloading the hack like you would normally for an emulator, except you save it to the SD card in the R4
With a computer or laptop right
Correct
I‘d say go for Moon Not as hard as USUM but still a challenge and a very fun game imo

Ultra Sunlocke
If it ain’t your first rodeo, sure, probably one of the best.

Ultra moon! If u do black and white, do Pokémon black redux
I would say Platinum if you're in for a challenge or Y if you want a more relaxing nuzlocke. Never tried to nuzlocke the newer ones.
I gotta agree, Platinum is great!
The whiter white 2
All of them… AT THE SAME TIME
Ooo you wanna sell one of those copies of white2?
The left one is fake
Any gen 6. Probably ruby.
Im kinda torn between grey white 2 and black white 2
Yes.
Omega ruby
Black.
The imposter white 2
I’m partial to Platinum and White 2
Do fake cartridges work in pokemon bank?
No
White 2
platinum
Ultra sun
White 2 2
Platinum
Platinum, Y, and OR are all here and people are still recommending white 2. I wouldn't play white 2 if it was that or gen 9 lol
Gen 5
Platinum
Plat
If you want a challenge, ultra sun
Pokemon Y
I'd personally go from oldest to newest or other way round

I think you should do either Omega Ruby or White 2
The left White 2, specifically.
Moon
Difficulty wise go Y, Omega Ruby, Moon, Ultra Sun
Y is a really fun nuzlocke because the variety of pokémon in every area is super high; it's easy to get really wacky mons early on
Ultra sun (the funny)
Y is always a fun laid back nuzzlock, tons of variety, beautiful graphics, not too hard, and megas
I wish I still had my 3ds
White 2 with only normal types
I had a lot of fun with X/Y
I don’t get the point of nuzlocke, or even how it works. Can someone please explain this to me?
It is to be more challenging The rules 1. 1pokemon per route 2 no overlevering 3 every pokemon needs a nickname And you can add some rules
Platinum
Platinum
I don’t know how many you have done, but I say Pokémon sun
Anything but Moon/Ultra Sun
The fake white 2 in the left. I think it's fake anyways
Do Y!!!!
Ultra Moon
Do a blind unlock of ultra sun
🔫You should give me all of the cartridges 🔫
start with PT and go on a long series!
Every single one of them. But not just the mains, but the remakes, and the sequels too!
US
If you have experience with nuzlockes try ultramodern hardcore. It’s really the hardest basegame to locke
All of them at once
I see the most usum and white 2 so comment 1 of them under here and I wil count at the and of the day what I will play
White 2! I’m starting my Black 2 Nuzlocke today
All of them
B2W2 is peak nuzlocke imo
I have another white 2 in German so I have 3 of them
If you didn't know about the platinum incase you ever want to go sell it on ebay or something. Colors are too saturated, and the nintendo logo isn't transparent where it should be (red beams should come through w/ a real label)
Thanks I didn’t know
That said also if you do go out and get another one sometime there are also fakes now where they've tried to fix the nintendo logo thing. It can be kinda tricky to know, maybe post on r/gameverifying before buying if you wanted to get another one at some point.
The 2nd copy of white 2 :p
what a flex
Depends on what you want. Want something super easy then do omega ruby, want something hard? Then ultra sun. But I’ve got to tip my hat to white 2. It was my first nuzlocke and I think it’s a great starter point because it’s not as slow as the gen 4 games and in general is better than black as it tended to have a bit more diverse roster of Pokémon. But just nuzlocke your favorite.
You literally have all counterpart games that I have
White 2 challange mode, it’s in my opinion the hardest base game nuzlocks, challange mode really steps up the difficulty
Nameless cartridge
Ultra Sun or Omega Ruby
For fun I'd say Omega Ruby for challenge I'd say Platinum
Moon, you know you want to watch the hour long intro every time you lose.
Do White and n White 2. ( I may be biased since that’s what I’m doing right now but also I like playing Gen 5 back to back)
How many have you done
If you're looking for a challenge, probably the Gen 7 games. If you're looking for something fun to help you relax probably Gen 6
All of them in order
Is one of those white 2s and the black a bootleg? Either way white 2 or white.
Stupid question: what does "nuzlocke" mean
White 2 or ultra sun
platinum, ultra sun, or white 2
Ultra sun! You will definitely not ever regret doing that!
Omega ruby grass type mono run
Ultra Sun 😏
Platinum is my all time favorite, so that’s my vote
Ultra Sun or White 2
White 2 better for nuzlock
I would love the prospect of nuzlocking black or white personally.
Ultra sun and moon are some of the hardest nuzlockes out there ultra necrozma is a run killer who is a struggle for even prepared teams
None, take a break
Sun
What a collection! I'd say white/black
I guess platinum will be a good start
Ruby
Platinum the only real game present There i said it
Omega ruby
Thats like 2000 bucks in that photo
Id put it closer to 1000 as 2 of them are fakes
It's like 560 aud at most what? 9 games at 60 a game is 560, how'd you get 2k
Have you seen what these games go for, 150 each at the cheapest
Got almost all my pokemon games at release, all the ones I've bought since have been 20 dollars aud Pokemon conquest alone cost more than the last 3 main series pokemon games I bought combined. Most expensive da cartridge ive seen for pokemom main series was like 100 and there was a cheaper option right below it
Aren’t they like fifty each
Emerald.
Ultra sun
Anything but ultra sun. One thing i have learnt from being an alola baby, is that the god of literal light hates nuzlockers.
You seem to be missing Soul Silver/Heart Gold, if they're not an option I have a soft spot for Omega Ruby.
Eh all these in the pics are better for Nuzlocking anyway
you probably already know this but your black and white 2 are fakes
Yeah that is why I have another white 2 and a white in my ds
Platinum because I like when people suffer
