Description
Pokemon Doom Y, some random name I came up with on the spot, is a difficulty romhack of Pokemon Y. This was inspired both by Drayano’s romhacks and Ancestral X and the intention is to create a nuzlocke experience that is easier than Ancestral X but a bit harder than Drayano’s typical games. I just recently finished so it hasn’t been properly tested fully for difficulty balance so I would really appreciate some help from nuzlockers to play through and give me any feedback. Any content creators who may play just know I’ll be there to watch. I would definitely love for some experienced nuzlockers to try it out as I consider myself kind of to be a mid tier level one.
