The Legacylocke
Hello.
After a few (like two) months of tweaking and testing I've gone ahead and confirmed that this, quite ambitious and expansive challenge is possible and also, fun.
An overview:
Imagine, for a moment, if the Pokemon games had a theatric story or campaign, sort of like an RPG or a FPS.
Imagine now, that you're one of the protagonists.
The Legacylocke will attempt to simulate this feeling in the Pokemon universe. This is no normal challenge. This challenge expands over many Pokemon games, and has a lot of little ins and outs in which I will explain.
The traits that make this challenge different are as follows:
In The Legacylocke, you play a normal trainer who comes after the main game's trainer. I.E when you play Fire Red or Leaf Green, you are not playing Red. Rather, you are playing you.
As the Legacy continues, you will play in other regions as your character's son or daughter.
As the son or daughter of your previous character, you will inherit things from them as the game progresses. These things are usually Pokemon and money.
Rules
Normal Nuzlocke Rules apply, these are the following:
1) You may only catch the first Pokemon of each route.
2) If a Pokemon faints, it has perished and can no longer be used.
3) You must name every single Pokemon you catch.
The Legacylocke has it's own set of rules to go alongside of these. These are as follows:
1) You are locked into the first six Pokemon you catch. You must continue to use them.
2) You may only replace any of the first six you catch if every Pokemon you catch besides your Starter dies.
3) After your first Legacylocke game, your child character will start to inherit your first character's things. They are as follows:
After your second gym, you inherit your parent's weakest Pokemon.
After your third gym, you inherit 25% of your parent's money.
After your fourth gym, you inherit your parent's second weakest Pokemon.
After your fifth gym, you inherit 25% of your parent's money.
After your sixth gym, you inherit your parent's third weakest Pokemon.
After your seventh gym, you inherit 25% of your parent's money
After your eighth gym, you inherit 25% of your parent's money.
The Legacylocke has a specific clause that is implemented to make the challenge a bit less merciless. It is as follows:
1) The Legacylocke Revive Clause: Being that your legacy can stretch for a very long time, and it can be very challenging at times, you are allowed to carry a single revive on you at any given time. This does not come without it's catches, though. You can only use revives you find off the ground, and you cannot use more than two in any given game.
The Legacylocke also has a specific clause that is implemented to balance this clause, as it can be too much of a lifesaver at times, and can foster reckless behaviour. It is as follows:
1) The Legacylocke Critical clause states that if any Pokemon is killed by a critical hit or a One Hit KO, it is gone, and cannot be recovered at all. This will (hopefully) make you less reliant on those revives.
Some Mainstream clauses are allowed. Some are not. They are as follows:
The Trading Clause is on in minimal effect. You can only trade to evolve a Pokemon that requires a trade.
The Shiny Clause, the clause that states that if you find a shiny you can catch it regardless, is off. Appearance means nothing in a challenge like this.
The Species Clause, stating that if the first Pokemon you see on two different routes are the same species, you may have another chance if you already are in possession of it, is on.
The Blackout Clause, stating that any and all blackouts after you obtain your first Pokeball counts as a gameover, is on.
There is no such thing as a "Bullshit Clause."
Being that you come after the series main protagonist, any canonical catches that supposedly only one exists of, I.E Articuno, are completely banned from being used. Technically, as the main series protagonist has already caught them, you can't.
Timeline (Which is subject to change if the participants wish, as we can use sidegames and/or Romhacks to supplement the Legacy. Democracy rules.
FR/LG-R/S-D/P-HG/SS-B/W-B2/W2-X/Y-OR/AS.
(These can change if the participants wish, however FR/LG MUST be the first.)
(The forward slash indicates that you are allowed to choose between one of those two games for that generation)
(The Hyphen indicates that this is the order of the Legacy. As in, your character from D/P is the child of your character from R/S.)
Misc
There will be a fanfiction story that will supplement this Legacy. I will write it and your input as a participant is crucial. On this website it will be posted in chapters in the fanfiction section. It will also be posted on a domain that I own at the end of each Act.I would like at least two people to participate, but more may be accommodated.

Simply post with these details:Character name:
How often you can participate:
Personally, I can move the challenge forward very often as I am also going to be participating myself, as per the rules of this forum. However, I will slow down to accommodate the participants.
I hope to see some interest. If you'd like to participate, post here, and if I choose you! (ew.) You will receive a PM from me. We should all start at the same time just to work out the kinks and make the Legacylocke fanfiction story easier to write on my part.
