Never tried this before. Is this a good set of rules?

Any fainted Pokemon must be released.
Can catch only the first Pokemon from each area.
(If a Pokemon has been captured/released before, it is exempt from the above rule.)
No grinding in wild bushes.
Trainers may be fought, or avoided, in any order.
One visit per Pokemon Center; no exceptions.
Pokemon must be trained evenly.
No loading past saves.
Nicknames required.

I'd disable the no grinding thing. It's hard to get new Mons off the ground without grinding.

I hope this is FR/LF because putting yourself through a Nuzlocke on those Minecraft graphics is lol.

How are you going to do this:

From: BoshStrikesBack | #001
Pokemon must be trained evenly.


Without this:

No grinding in wild bushes.


And with this (at least think of PP issues):

One visit per Pokemon Center; no exceptions.

That looks better.

"First pokemon encountered doesn't count if I've caught/killed/released it before" is the dumbest rule anyone could add to Nuzlocke

might as well not even have the first encounter rule at all when you add that

It's no Nuzlocke if half your team doesn't consist of Zubats.

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.

No, I agree that the caught/released before rule is stupid. Catch the first Pokemon from every area, even if it's a duplicate. It makes it more fun.

If by fun you mean 'boring' then yeah I guess it's more fun.

But if by fun you mean fun then no it's not.

How is it more boring? You always have a variety when playing Pokemon, Nuzlocke is SUPPOSED to make it so you don't have a choice, if you end up with 5 Geodudes and 40 Zubats, then so be it. That's part of what Nuzlocke is all about.

For my Nuzlocke, I didn't catch it if I already had one, but if it was something that I'd had at one point but ended up having to release because it had died, it was a valid replacement. Ended up catching one Rattata on Route 1, losing it in the Route 22 Rival Battle, and catching another one on Route 3.
