i enjoy nuzlocke challenges more than playing the game regularly so i decided to play an entirely new game i know nothing about with a set of challenge rules. i'll post updates in this thread. here are the rules i'll be using (and if you don't know what a nuzlocke challenge is, this oughta explain it):
The Nuzlocke Challenge is a set of rules intended to create a higher level of difficulty while playing the Pokémon games. Many challengers feel that the rules also serve the purpose of encouraging the use of Pokémon the player would not normally choose, and promoting closer bonds with the player's Pokémon. The rules are not an in-game function, but are self-imposed on the part of the player, and thus subject to variation.
-Any Pokémon that faints is considered dead, and must be released.
-The player may only catch the first Pokémon encountered in each area, and none else. If the first Pokémon encountered faints or flees, there are no second chances.
-All Pokemon must be nicknamed.
-Master Balls are banned.
-Pokecenters can only be used after a gym battle or rival battle. Only healing items can be used otherwise.
-Legendaries cannot be caught and must be defeated.
-The player may not evolve captured Pokémon, but evolved Pokémon may be caught. I'm not sure about this one, I'll have to see how it goes.
-Rare Candies are obviously banned.
-Held items are banned.
first update coming soon.
