I play games in this, I'll try to keep it to more obscure/ throw back games.
My first choice is influenced by the Pod man himself. I like the idea of a nuzlocke challenge but I wanted to do something more hype, 7th shot levels of hype. So I went with Shaman King Legacy spirits roaming wolf. Or something like that.
Its basically pokemon but worse and with shaman characters. The main draw is fusing the creatures in a jar and creating new ones.
Get Hype
Chapter One
So the challenges begins, basically at the start of the game its a ton of dialogue to set the story up, this was all promptly skipped.
While jumping past the story line I developed the rules:
1. Dead is kill
2. Only one capture per map section
3. Cant use the main spirit (Super strong and grows exceptionally more powerful, by not using him it makes the game significantly harder and makes me focus on the lesser spirits that are useless if you use him)
4. At the beginning you pick up a lot of spirits automatically, these are allowed to be used, any other spirits given automatically can only be used to fuse, but not battle.
So I hopped in. With the low level jar there's not a ton of stuff you can do. I mained an earthbound spirit which is essentially a dude with a headband.
I fused a couple more things and I am starting to see some stuff I want later. Earthbound and Dark Oni (weird slug with teeth) create some angel/mech looking guy. Bunch of little birds and White Snake create a Pumpkin head named Jack. I want Jack.
Side Quest
Chapter Two
So ignoring the story once again I dove head first into the game. I now have access to the city which means I can buy tablets to capture spirits. So the second rule now applies, one capture whatever I encounter first. I caught 4 spirits with nothing really notable, will fuse more later. I have 7 salespeople because I talked to one and the more service you ask for the more you have to fight in a row, classic Japs.
After I had collected all i could I hit up the cemetery to grind dat slug higher. Found a kid there, instantly had flashbacks to the worlds most tedious side quest.
Here's the lowdown:
1. Talk to kid, he is dead and can't move on, wants a cat
2. Talk to salesman in city, he is dead and can't move on, wants to sell cat food
Seems like a great combo right?
3. Take food to kid
4. Go back to salesman and tell him the kids reaction to cat food
5. Go see kid, who now has one cat, but he wants more
Now at this point you follow these 5 steps 7 or 8 times, going to the world map, selecting the area and then wading through 10000 random encounters before you get to the person to talk to. Super long and super tedious. And each step adds a cat that randomly walks around the kid. These cats can and will block your way out of the area.
Anyways after 30 minutes of doing nothing but walking back and forth you finally figure out the kid are father and son, they join up and go to the spirit world or something. Anyways your prize is a single healing item that is super strong but theres just the one. FUCK.
That's the end result
