Cortex J's Nuzlocke Challenge
TheSolx:
*Starts new save on Emerald (Emulator mode, of course)*
Not sure when I'll start, but I'll do. this sounds fun :D
Bing:
I think I may try this out only I think I may change some of these rules a bit.
Rules I'll follow:
1.You must catch the first pokemon you see in an area. If it faints or you have to run, you may not catch a pokemon from that area. Move on and cry about your failure. (Routes, caves, forests, buildings. Basically any new area you've yet to explore.). Also, you may receive pokemon as gifts from NPCs but, you may not make any trades with them.
2. You may use Pokémon centers and items to heal, no buying items though.
3. Once you've started a route, cave, forest, anything. You must finish it. No turning back to heal.
4. If a Pokémon faints, you must release it. It's dead, get over it.
5. Pokemon must evolve when they can, no saving for a certain move. Also if you find a stone/item to evolve a pokemon of yours, you must use it. (Exception if you must trade a pokemon to evolve it. Unless you have someone to trade with.)
6. Six pokemon are allowed to be owned at one time. If you own six, no more may be caught. A pokemon that faints is dead, and must be released
7. At each market, you can only buy 10 of any Pokéball at a time. This means, if a store has poke, great and ultra, you can only have 10 in total. Any Pokéballs found in the field are fair game, and do not count towards the total.
8. You may only purchase full restores before starting the elite 4, but you may only have a total of 10.
9. The item max revive can only be used to revive a "dead" Pokémon on your team. Dead pokemon are dead.
10. You may use healing items you find in battle, no held items. (Exception for Elite 4 battles.)
11. You can't use TMs at all. You may use HMs, as they are necessary for the story.
12. You can't use a legendary Pokémon. That is a no-no for this challenge. (Seriously, legends are for pansies anyway.)
13. All pokemon must have nick-names. It makes you closer to them. So don't let them die.

Bing, If your taking Cortex's challenge, then you cant change the rules. However you CAN add rules to make it more challenging for yourself.

honestly, this its AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALOT easyer than Cortex rules, and i mean it, its like 10 times easyer, only the rules 2, 5, 6 and 8 that you putted make the challange 10 times more easy, if i had to choose, i would still go with cortex rules
Tickles:
Yeah Bing, those are the regular Nuzlocke rules you placed, except for the nickname one. But you can play by those rules, if you want to go the pansy route. Or you can try the ones I added/tweaked to see how well you can fair.
I also found a small loop-hole in the rules. The pc can heal pokemon by simply moving them in and back out. I'm sure one of you have discovered this rule, so you will not be penalized for abusing the loophole if you have, but for future reference, it does count as healing with nurse joy. To put it planely, using the pc to heal is not allowed. When everyone is done with this challenge, I want you guys to provide feedback.
1.What was the difficult part of this challenge?
2. What was too easy on here?
3. Did you find a way to get around the rules without breaking them?
4. What rule would you change? Why?
5. Did you have fun, or was it like pulling teeth?
Your choice to fill out the questionnaire when you finish. This will provide me with data to come up with something more difficult. I may put up a breeder challenge sometime in the future, for those that like to breed pokemon.
