ABOUT The Nuzlocke Run

The Nuzlocke Run.
The most epic run-type for Pokemon games. It's creator, Nuzlocke, designed it for his latest replay of Ruby. And to go along with it, he drew comics. These comics produced a shitstorm, and a legend was born.

To attempt a Nuzlocke Run, you must adhere to the following rules:

Purist Rules:
-If a Pokemon in your party faints, you must release it.
-Every time you reach a new route, cave, etc., you must catch the very first Pokemon you see, regardless of your current number of party members. The Pokemon may sit within the box for an indeterminate amount of time as a backup.

/v/ addons:
-If you fail to catch the first Pokemon you see, either via it fleeing, knocking it out, or having no Pokeballs, you may not catch another. Tough shit.
-This means you can not catch a pokemon in a route you were in before you could catch pokemon. So no route 1, you were there before you had pokeballs.
-If a town you go to contains a body of water or a gift Pokemon like Bill's Eevee in G/S/C/HG/SS, that may be considered a Pokemon of a new area.
-You must nickname your pokemon so there is some sort of attachment. Each pokemon is a best friend to you, to see them die is heartbreaking.
-If your entire party faints, they all must be thrown away. If you have a pokemon left in a box somewhere, you may continue, otherwise you must start your game over.
-Treat pokeballs as rare artifacts; at no point can you buy more than one from each store. You should only use ones you find in the wild or are awarded.
-You are, under no circumstance, allowed to use items outside of battle. If you were poisoned on your last turn of the battle, you better hope to god theres a pokemon center nearby.

@midnight those rules listed in the group were the popular method of playing nuzlockes at the time, in the early days. its an interesting historical time piece. there was a heavy focus on rules that would increase the emotional impact of losing a pokemon.

I have never been so triggered at groups or servers getting BASIC nuzlocke rules wrong....
Now yes, i know there is optional rules (like the mercy rule i mentioned) But if these are optional rules, please state that they are, or your going to mislead people who want to do a nuzlocke

5:Gift pokemon DO NOT COUNT towards your first encounter of an area, they are considered "Static" encounters like legendaries and stuff
6:No shit a city that contains water is a new area if you can encounter pokemon on it: :/
7:You have no mentioned anything about the dupe of species Rule anywhere. If you...lets say had a mudkip and you encounter a Swampert, That would be considered species and you are allowed to choose if you want to re-roll your encounter or keep it. Same goes for Dupe, If you encounter a mew and you already have one, same goes.

Ok reading over these rules of the group, you got some of them wrong, let me explain why.
1:If a pokemon Faints, you DO NOT have to releace the pokemon, you can put in a death box so you can count the deaths, it isnt mandetory you releace you.
2:If all your pokemon faint, YOU CANNOUT keep going if you can make another party, if you white/black out you lose, thats it.(There is an optional rule called the mercy rule which is a one time use)
3:Ok just wtf? Not allowed to buy pokeballs? Fuck off that is the biggest crock of shit i have ever heard. No one i have seen or i have never heard of anyone doing this, that would make a nuzlocke botherline impossiable
4:Same as Number 3 WTF?! dont do what some bullshit rom hacks do, What if your at the start of the game and your ONLY pokemon is posioned and you dont have an antidote? see my point?
