Also because it won the poll in my topic asking what playthrough to do next... anyways, like I said, I'm playing through Pokemon Leaf Green (I like its exclusives better than Fire Red's) with the standard Nuzlocke rules:

- Permadeath is active. If a Pokemon faints in battle, it is considered "dead" and will not be used in battle for the rest of the playthrough. A full team wipe is not a game over if I have Pokemon "alive" in the PC, but running out of "alive" Pokemon will result in a game over and require me to start over from the beginning. If I need to use an HM to progress in the game and the only Pokemon I have that can learn it are all "dead", I can withdraw one of them to use their corpse for the HM outside of battle, but they cannot battle and must be deposited again once the HM is no longer needed

- I can only catch the first (non-duplicate) Pokemon that I find in each area. If that first Pokemon faints or flees, no second chances. Static encounters and shiny Pokemon can be caught outside of this restriction and used in the playthrough normally.

- I have to nickname all of my Pokemon to form closer bonds with them, making it sadder when one of them dies.

I just started my game, went to the lab, and picked Squirtle as my starter. I named him Polnareff because I recently watched the episode of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure where *spoilers* Chariot Requiem's mass soul-swapping ability puts Jean Pierre Polnareff's soul into the body of a turtle and it was on my mind. Once I complete the errand for Oak and get the Pokedex and some Pokeballs, the "only catch the first non-duplicate Pokemon in each area" rule will be active and the run will fully begin. I've never successfully completed a Nuzlocke run before, so hopefully this goes well.
