I was going to just PM Shanty with everything I've found on the Nuzlocke beta test, but I feel like everyone interested in this game's development should know what's going on.
1. You Can (Not) Advance
In other words (okay, I'll stop with the Evangelion references), the save files from all previous versions cannot be imported to the Nuzlocke version of 2.0. The message you recieve states, "The save file has been destroyed!" as if you blacked out and died.
2.Save files properly wipe after a loss
If you are familiar with miksy91's GS Nuzlocke Patch (http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=282684), this seems to follow everything from that patch, plus extra. So when you black out, your save file is erased as advertized!
3.Trading WORKS
It seems the Nuzlocke patch has done nothing to trading. I just wanted to make sure that the traded Pokemon is not automatically deleted from the game or something.
In addition, trading a fainted Pokemon (yes, you can do this in Gen 1) to the Nuzlocke version is successful. When you reset the game, the save file is intact despite being out of useable Pokemon, and you spawn back at the Pokemon Center you last were. You can take a maximum of three steps before the game detects that you have no healthy Pokemon and you black out. Blacking out in this case DOES NOT destroy your save file; actually heals your fainted Pokemon from trade and respawns you at the last used Pokemon Center.
4. (Minor bug) Your player does not recieve the Town Map from Daisy like you should
This can be easily fixed, unless you want to be hardcore and play the game without a Town Map.
5. Link Battles are still subject to Nuzlocke's restrictions
Another minor bug: The Trainer you face has a glitched sprite and not the normal one. When your Pokemon faint in a Link Battle, they are gone for good, along with your save file. Also, that first battle with ??? follows Nuzlocke rules, so you want to win it!!!
6. One Pokemon per Route is strictly enforced
As advertized, you can only snag one Pokemon per Route if you play Nuz Mode. Even if you don't have Poke Balls, (example: Route 1 when you first start out) the Pokemon you see is the only one you get.
Another side note: The difficulty is noticeably harder, including the already hard Nuzlocke rules. That includes Wild Pokemon, so be careful! Those Digletts in Basalt Tunnel can kill you quickly!
