This is a necessity now for any run through, no matter the game:
>Name every pokemon with something like you'd read out of a good story. This does mean naming every single pokemon I catch, no matter what.
>No throw away nicknames like Spot or some shit.
>Every pokemon, especially my main team, has a head-canon personality and interactions with other pokemon I've caught.
>Only ever use six pokemon in a play through, train absolutely nothing else.
>I have to have at least 10 of the most potent healing items on hand at any given moment. If I have 11 or 13 or something, I will buy enough to get the number up to at least 15.
>I have to save facing the "camera"
>Team has to be even in terms of male/female ratio. If one member has no gender, then head-canon will give them one based on their nature and by extension character.
>Team has to stay at the same level whenever possible. No pokemon can be more than one level above any other pokemon.
>At least two pokemon must have a two level lead on the gym leader's ace. If E4, then there has to be a two level lead on the champ's ace.
>All items must be organized by category and potency.
>A pokemon cannot have more than one move of the same type, and will typically have three attacking moves and one none damaging move that either ups stats or inflicts a status.
