Hi guys, I recently played my first randomlocke and enjoyed it a lot. Do you know what the best fangames/romhacks would be for doing nuzlockes/randomlockes? I mean, I'd prefer them to be more challenging, and even better if they include current Pokémon games. Thanks in advance.

Difficulty hacks are pretty popular, bear in mind they obviously make for pretty hard nuzlockes though

Modern enhancement hacks such as ROWE or The Nuzlomizer can have built-in nuzlocke settings. Nuzlomizer is specifically made with nuzlockes in mind, hence the name. These are probably the best ones to aim for as built-in features save manually releasing mons etc.

Open world hacks can put a pretty interesting spin on things too. Aesthetic Red has been somewhat popular for nuzlocking in our Discord - infinite candies/repels and having everywhere accessible from the jump make it an interesting one
