So I'm either really, really shit at Nuzlockes, or my rules are just too strict for my experience. I always play with the following ruleset:
>A Pokémon that faints must be released
>All Pokémon must be nicknamed (with a theme)
>Can only catch the first Pokémon you encounter on a route
>Starter is chosen by the last number in your ID, 1-3 is grass, 4-6 is fire, 7-9 is water, if 0, move one number left.
>Dupes clause, but with only 5 attempts. After 5 duplicates, the encounter is lost
>No Gift Pokémon
>Shinies may be caught, but cannot be used unless they were the first encounter anyway
>Pokémon that evolve by trade can only be evolved if all required items/Pokémon are in possession
>Pokémon may not be trade evolved until 15 levels have passed since capture or last evolution
>Level cap is equal to the next gym leader's strongest Pokémon, or after 8 badges, the champion's weakest Pokémon
>Set battle style
>No item in battle
With these rules, I've failed probably a dozen Nuzlockes so far, but I have beaten one, though it was LeafGreen.
So, I'm gonna try the second easiest game in the series. About to start an Alpha Sapphire Nuzlocke with my usual rules.
Any suggestions for a naming theme?
