Nuzlocke rules vary from player to player and there are a lot of fancy variants nowadays, so not sure how a rom hack could have things like that built-in. Afaik rom hacks have no way of limiting your captures to only the first encounter in each route. And coding the fainted = dead mechanic would be bad for several reasons (players who don't count death during training or during specific events, revive clauses, etc.) better just box/release your fainted Pokémon.

There are rom hacks that take nuzlocke and other challenges/playstyles into consideration by giving you mechanics to drastically reduce grinding, more capture areas, easier levelling, very friendly move/egg move relearning, Nature changes, Ability changes, etc. But no actual built-in Nuzlocke mode. Check Radical Red's Minimal Grinding mode, Unbound's Sandbox mode, or Inclement Emerald for instance.

Rangi did so in polished crystal.

I have it in the current beta version of shin pokemon. Working okay so far.

i know radical red has some features (level cap, no items in boss, etc) but you would still have to put the dead pokemon in boxes by yourself (dunno if the hardcore mode changes that)
