Pokemon Nuzlocke rules!
Standard rules;
- Any Pokémon that faints is considered dead, and must be released or put in the Pokémon Storage System permanently
- The player may only catch/use the first wild Pokémon encountered in each area, and none else. If the first wild Pokémon encountered faints or flees, there are no second chances. If the first encounter in the area is a double battle, the player is free to choose which of the two wild This restriction does not apply to Pokémon able to be captured during static encounters
- The player may only use Pokémon they have captured themselves (No in-game trades. Gift pokemon that recieve the player's own OT number are allowed.)
- The player must nickname all of their Pokémon
- The player may not voluntarily reset and reload the game whenever things go wrong (I.E. No save-scumming)
Variant rules;
- Battle style put to "set"
- No using legendary or mythical pokemon
BDSP specific rules;
- As per "No using legendary or mythical pokemon," the gift Mew, Jirachi and Manaphy may not be used.
- Only one fossil pokemon may be used, and it must be the type of the first fossil that was found. If a fossil is found but is not successfully dug out, that is treated as failing to catch the first pokemon in a given area and no future fossils may be used instead.
Tentative BDSP specific rules;
- The Sinnoh Underground's Pokemon Hideaways and new TM vendors may not be used.
