~The Nuzlocke Challenge Thread~​

Hello and welcome to the Nuzlocke Challenge Thread. Here you can post about your Nuzlocke adventures and experience another new and exciting way to play your Pokemon games. The Nuzlocke Challenge can have many different rule sets to make the challenge harder or easier on oneself, but the main idea of the Nuzlocke challenge is that if your Pokemon faints, they are "dead" and you must release them or just box them away and not use them for the rest of the challenge. Really, you're goal should be to make things as hard as you honestly think you can handle and see how it goes. This thread's main ruleset will be based on my own modified rules but you can change them in any way you'd like in the spirit of the challenge.

~Rules

1. If a Pokemon in your party faints, you must release it ASAP. You cannot use Revives.
2. When you reach a new Route/Cave/Town/Ect. you can only catch the first Pokemon you see in that Area. You are allowed to have Pokemon in your PC box as "backup" for when you need new members to replace fainted ones.
3. If you fail to catch the first Pokemon you see for ANY reason then you've missed out on your chance to get a Pokemon from that area. Because of this rule, you cannot catch any Pokemon on Route 1, ect. if you saw one there.
4. You may only buy up to 10 Pokeballs from each Pokemart.
5. You are not allowed to use Legendary Pokemon.
6. If a town contains Gift Pokemon, you may treat these as your captured Pokemon for said area. For example, the Eevee you obtain from Bill in Goldenrod.
7. Nickname all of your Pokemon so you have an attachment to them. "Each Pokemon is a best friend to you, to see them die is heartbreaking." (Not really a required rule, but makes things fun.)
8. If you black out (all party Pokemon faint) and you have no backups in your PC, it's Game Over.
9. You are not allowed to use any healing items outside of battle.
10. You are not allowed to switch out before the trainer sends in his next Pokemon. (Change that setting in the Options Menu)
11. No trading between games, hacking pokemon, ect. You know, stay in the spirit of the challenge...
