How was Mallie not loyal? That was the only relationship she got in. And yes, that is worse. Ah well, I'll have to start a Loren Protest Group.
Too many is never a bad thing! You made both quality and quantity super high. I was incredibly impressed with the nuzlocke. And yes, you did good with the "only 3 deaths" thing. I just don't want you to think that when I said "too many" I meant that as a bad thing, 'cause you know I didn't. It's in the rules anyway, and you tend to focus on character, so as to build up backstory. Like Teddy! Teddy was cool.
