But what if it didn't?
Let’s be honest: after 20 years, we know Hoenn like the back of our hand. We know that Shroomish is hiding in the Petalburg Woods. We know that a Magikarp jumps out of every fishing rod. And we definitely know that Route 103 leads north to the boring grassy patch.
For veterans who have done the Nuzlocke challenge a dozen times, this is the final frontier. Just remember: save often. Because that house in Oldale Town? It might lead to the bottom of the ocean.
