"First pokemon encountered doesn't count if I've caught/killed/released it before" is the dumbest rule anyone could add to Nuzlocke
More like best rule
It makes the game horrendously boring if it's not put in.
In fact I'd argue it's even more in the spirit of the challenge since the whole point is to make each Pokemon unique and get you attached to them.
