ITT your personal Nuzlocke rules. For me:
- no duplicates clause, if you encounter a duplicate tough luck
- no "floor" or "outdoor/indoor" rule. it's a new area when a sign with a new name appears
- nicknaming is optional (but I do it anyway)
- gift pokemon allowed, they just count towards the area. if you caught/got something in the area already, you can't use the gift
- ^ therefore, Game Corner pokemon count towards the area. you can't buy a dratini AND use the eevee you get in Celdaon, you have to choose one
- shinies exempt from first capture rule, but can't be used in regular play
- traded pokemon count as your catch in a city. you can trade back and forth for evolution purposes.
- pokemon aren't released, they're put in a Valhalla box (and possibly used for postgame content if you beat the game)
- death rules don't apply to Battle Tower and the like (unless it's part of the story like in B/W 2)
- grinding is allowed, but no more than ~3 levels above the next gym. death rules apply to grinding.
- you can use one bred pokemon in regular play. it counts as your catch in the "breeder area"
How do you guys play your Nuzlocke?
