Hello fans of Pokémon. You may have heard of a Nuzlocke challenge, a way to play Pokémon under a certain set of rules. Well, I am here to introduce a challenge with the base rules, and a few extra rules, to provide a great challenge to the game.
The Rules: (Before you begin, go to the storage system, and name the last box Dead. This will hold "dead" Pokémon.)
1.You can only catch one Pokémon per area. This includes routes, caves, forests, etc. This excludes shinies.
2. You can't use Pokémon centers to heal, only items. If all of your Pokémon are out of PP for moves, then you may use the Pokémon centers.
3. If a Pokémon faints, you either have to release it, or place it in the storage box until the end of the game.
4. You can't allow a Pokémon to evolve before level 45. After that, evolutions are fair game.
5. You can only have three Pokémon at a time in your party. If you have more than three, the Pokémon after slot 3 will count as inactive. You must store the Pokémon in any box that isn't for dead Pokémon.
6. 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.
7. The items full heal, full restore, and revive are forbidden to use at any time.
8. The item max revive can only be used to revive a "dead" Pokémon on your team.
9. You can only use a maximum of three items during battle. This means potions, status healers, berries, etc.
10. You may use hold items that are one time use, but hold items with constant effects are not allowed.
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.
Follow these rules to have a very challenging play-through of any Pokémon game. I too will be taking this challenge. If you do not have a Pokémon game, then I guess you can't take this challenge. record yourself if you wish. Good luck.
Note: You may stop following the rules after you beat the league champion once.
-
I'm going to try this. Just because it'll make me a better player ^^
*isn't too sure if I should of have posted here*

Yeah, you can post here. I may put up a challengers list, just so people can check out who else is attempting. If people provide video proof they completed it with these rules, I will write a story of based off what I watch.
-
Oooh! That sounds cool! I might figure out if I can post mine ^^
Have you started on the challenge yet? on what game are you going to do this on? Hopefully not all xC
-
Doing it on SS and pokemon white. May give it a shot on HG, and Fire Red.
-
I'm doing SS and MAYBE Platinum...
-
*loses first battle of game*
...
:-\
Damn i'm good
-
Hmm think I'll do it in fire red, so are we allowed to evolve till level 45, or not till after level 45?
Edit:I think I'll do it saphire instead...Maybe I can catch a ralts for my one guy for that area...
-
Funny, I just started a Nuzlocke challenge a few days ago. I guess since I didn't get all that far yet I could restart with these rules. I'm in!
-
@Meowth, you are not allowed to evolve until lv 45. I'll fix the rule to make it more clear.
-
Ok, *has a level 44 treecko beating the S*** out of the Elite 4* DIE DIE DIE!
-
hate to break it to ya, but i allready done this before with Silver (yes Silver, not SS), i used only my Cyndaquil only during the entire game and only catch a Gyarados and a Oddish for the HMs, only when i reached the Elite 4 was when i evolved the Cyndaquil, i did this lots of times, didnt respected the poke center rule but everything else i did like the rules.
-
Aqua, if you're not going to the challenge, that's fine. But for the rest, good luck in yours.
-
i can do it, but can this go for any version of pokemon? is black and white out of the frame since we have to catch or beat the legendary dragon to beat Z
-
It can go for every game. If agame requires something for the story, then consider the rule temperarily void. And B/W doesnt do that until the end anyway, so you're good.
-
allright, i will do it, while Aqua in KH BBS is running in circles lvling up automaticly on my psp, i will play White doing this challenge^^
-
Question about rule three: It say's you have to either release a dead pokemon, or Store it until the end of the game. Does this mean at the end of the game that we can use the 'dead' pokemon, or something else?
Le EDIT: Nvm, I just read the last rule.
-
Well, either you can't use it until you complete the chalenge (which is the extra rule at the bottom), or use a Max revive when/if you find one.
-
For those that want their own story, you must record from start to end. Breaking any of the rules means no epic story of you challenge completion. Everyone else who is just doing it, good luck.
-
then i will make a note file with all i do, except tell about random battles.. that would make it too long to record...
-
4. You can't allow a pokemon to evolve after level 45. After that, evolutions are fair game.
I'm guessing you mean "before level 45".
With rule 8, I feel like it's defeating the purpose of a Nuzlocke run. The point is that you have a limited number of pokemon, if you can just revive them whenever they die then what's the point of them dying in the first place?
-
I see your point. Alright, the max revive rule is cancelled. If it dies, it dies.
-
Shadowfred, i think i know why he putted the Max Revive Rule
since Max Revive its something you can only find 2 or 3, it could give a fair shake of the challenge, think about it... for example, if a person its on the 8th gym badge with 3 lvl 43 pokemon, you get defeated, then you have to train pokemon you have on the box that might be even more lower lvl and no EV's with Wild Encounters which will take a LONG time to lvl up to 43 again, that defeats the morale of the player...
-
Actualy Aqua, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think as soon as all your pokemon faint it's "game over".
Also: I didn't even get the first badge and one of my pokemon died. DAMMIT!
-
Yeah, that happens. I already lost my pidgey. Poor thing, was at lv 2, didn't even reach 3. But anyways, my cyndaquil is currently at lv 17, and I have a bellsprout at 15.
-
Yeah, and I've had nothing but failed results in catching pokemon, so I still only have my Torchic. But for the next capture, I think I'm going to push my luck and throw a pokeball as soon as I see a pokemon in the next area.
-
Choosen Oshawoot as Starter
Won both batles agaisn't Rivals
Reached Route 1 and leveled up to level 8, Caught Lilipup
Entered Accumula Town headed to Pokemon Center for mandatory heal (its mandatory so i can't prevent it so its out of the rules)
Stay Tuned for more!!!
________________________________________________________________________________________________
i will put updates like this in the posts when i say something
-
I would say something about making a video instead of just writing....but I can't take a video so I might have to do the same thing...I'll wait to do it till cortex says anything..
-
I think I'll give this challenge a shot.
A question about the rule number 2, is it allowed to heal pokemon in houses (like in the first city, or a resting area, etc) or people that will heal your pokemon for free?
Ah, since my gameboy screws up and deletes every time I save, I'll just play Pokemon Emerald in an emulator, won't use save state (except for saving the game progress, since saving the normal way OFTEN deletes my save file again and again). Is it allowed?
*chooses Torchic as a starter and named it Advantura*
-
I would say something about making a video instead of just writing....but I can't take a video so I might have to do the same thing...I'll wait to do it till cortex says anything..
i could do it with LiveStream but i want to play Black Version for this, its more of a challenge
Btw, Oshawott's name its Aqua^^
EDIT: to answer BlazingApollo, i think heal houses are out as well since they do the same as pokemon center
-
Heh, Just gonna log mine, easier, Also, *picks Treecko* *names it sceptilian.*
Also...Gl to everyone who is doing this too, lets all have a little bit Of fun.
-
EDIT: to answer BlazingApollo, i think heal houses are out as well since they do the same as pokemon center
*restarts the game*
(-__-")
-
Exactly as aqua said. Healing houses count as poke centers.
-
Hey Cortex, Is it ok If we post short logs detailing our Nuzlocke adventure?
-
You can post logs, but it won't earn you a story. With video, 1. I know you did the challenge right. 2. It allows me to take every detail the player did, and transform it from 2d lifelessness, to mind blowing, relatable characters.
-
oh come on... i was playing Black version on my ds... thats no fair...
-
Don't want a story XD I just wanna see if i can do this..
-
I will consider it for those that post logs. But if one thing strikes as odd to me, then you can count on me not doing it.
-
allright, i will be happy to answer anything if something strikes odd in my logs
-
Same here Cause, manley because I might misspell/mess something up...
-
How about some screenshots then?
Though I want to combine all the screenshots in a ppt. file and make a description for every pic. Just to make things clearer...
*lvl 17 Torchic, but no other pokemon*
-
Ok, I'll take submissions in any form.
-
Hey cortex, what do you do if You only have PP in non attacking moves?
-
Defeated N, got Aqua level 9
Reached Route 2
Defeated Bianca, got Aqua at level 11
Entered Striaton City, went into Trainers' School
Defeated Cheren, Aqua level 12
Stay Tuned for more!!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
I think you have to waste the pp anyway, or try to share exp so you get a attacking move to replace the non attacking move
-
Yep, you have to waste the PP, or wait until the poke learns a new move.
-
Mk, I'll write my first log when I beat the first Gym.
-
Hey, Cortex. I've beaten the first gym, and President Devon (that's his name right?) healed my pokemon.
Is it allowed?
btw, can you suggest a place where I can upload a ppt file? Or maybe I'll just send it through email?
-

_____________________________________________________________________________________________
if its a heal that its mandatory to continuing the story, then its allowed
EDIT: Added the last log, in the logs i will describe the Gym Leader Battles
-
I don't know if those extra rules you set up you did on purpose but this is the actual guidelines chart:
(http://i43.tinypic.com/2cifszm.jpg)
-
Extra rules were indeed added on purpose, to increase the difficulty. I did a lot of nuzlocke runs, and have been making tweaks to the rules, and adding more, and this is the hardest one I did after said tweaks and added rules.
-
Placed dead Lilipup on Dead Box
Taught Cut to Pansear
Went into Dream Lot and cut down the tree for Bianca and Munna Event

Went back to Pokemon Center to buy Status Healing Items and heal Aqua Paralized Status, and went back to Route 3
Saved before Battle with Cheren
Stay Tuned For More!!!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
agree with cortex, we should allways make it harder, and not follow only the chart, otherwise we do it and it tastes like nothing...
EDIT: i will start putting Aqua's PP after some battles, or after each Route or City i go by
-
im gonna try if thats ok here's my first log:
- Started fire red with bulbasaur named Hemlock (for absorb reasons mostly)
Beat rival easily and leveled to lvl6
retrieved potion from storage and set off.
On route 1 Hemlock leveled to lvl7 and learned absorb.
Reached Viridian with 3/4 health.
retrieved package and finished the delivery in Pallet Town.
Caught pidgey lvl3 named it flight.
Leveled Flight to lvl 5 on route 1 using my potion and retrieved potion from store employee.
(this is where it got tricky so I decided to skip rival battle.)
I'm hoping to get quite far in this challenge :)
-
My first log times...
- starts pokemon Sapphire with a treecko named sceptilian.(For final evolution purposes)
-Beats poochyena with flying colors(the one that was chasing the proffesor)
-Goes to the route may is on and before the fight levels Sceptilian to level 6 with random encounters.
-uses a potion on sceptilian and then fights may
-Beats may and grows to level 7
-Goes back to the professor and gets pokedex
-goes to the town with players father in it and helps wally
- Spends 30 minutes finding a ralts and levels treecko up to level 10 in that time, then uses 4 pokeballs on one, names ralts guardy.(for final evolution.)
- while in woods levels ralts to level 7(whoooo! she can fight now!!) and levels treecko up Via running around in teh same spot, levels treecko to level 13
-Goes in town(after leveling treecko up to level 14 and ralts to 8 via trainers) Goes and buys potions and uses a ether found in teh forest.
- goes to the gym and beats the first two with ralts using 1 potion each leveling her to 9. and the leader with treecko leveling him to level 15 using 3 potions in battle.
If Anything seems fishy just ask me...Also...Damn this is hard..

Question

Cause if I have to record all the grinding then those vids will be very long and boring at those parts.
Record all of it. I already know how the story of HG/SS goes, so I will be looking out for battles, item uses, pokemon caught, pokemon that died, cancelled evolutions, etc. Don't worry about if it is boring, the longer it is, the better.
-
hmm aiight but I'll be speeding my way through grinding with an emulator. Grinding at 300% speed is awesome. Will this be against the rules?
EDIT:
1.You can only catch one Pokémon per area. This includes routes, caves, forests, etc. This excludes shinies.
Do you mean the first pokemon you encounter in each area or can I look for what I want in each area?
-
The usual Nuzlocke rules are the first pokemon you encounter, if you don't catch it, you can't get another from the same route/city/whatever. But Cortex might mean just one.
-
yeah I know thats the way it usually is but I just wanted him to clarify what he meant.
-
the rule number one doesnt limit the rule to being "the first pokemon" it limits to 1 pokemon per area, doesnt matter if its the first or second
-
You can look for the one you want, but you can only catch one. failing a catch still goes under the Nuzlocke rule, it will still count as your one catch. So, as long as you do not throw a pokeball, you can look for the poke you want. Running out will count as that catch attempt.
-
Again....I just wanted him to clarify.
-
Question about rule 2: It say's I can only use pokemon centers if I run out of PP, does that count only If I completly run out of PP for attack moves or from all moves? I just want to clarify so I wont mess up later. Oh, and here's what I have so far.
-Started off with choosing a Torchic, named it Nano.
-Beat the living crap out of Rival.
-Caught a lvl 4 Poochyena, named it Rufus.
-Put Rufus in DEAD box. (R.I.P., Rufus. lvl 4 - lvl 4)
-Witnessed Walley catching his first pokemon.
-Went through Petalburg Forest, and caught a Marril, Lvl 4, on route 104, named it Harrison. (Forgot whcih route, will check later.)
-Went back to Petalburg Forest and caught a Slackoth, Lvl 5, Named it Loafer.
-Currently training for gym battle.
Current Team:
Nano(Torchic) Lvl 16
Harrison(Marril) Lvl 9
Loafer(Slackoth) Lvl 7
-
You have to run out for all moves, and I think you caught two pokemon from the same area from what I'm reading. That breaks rule one. Once you catch one from an area, you can;t catch anymore from that area.
Also, if you're in a place where you know a legend is, catching a pokemon in that place before the legend will count as your one capture, and you will have to just beat the legend. In some games, you can rebattle the legends after you beat the elite 4 once.
-
No, I didn't catch them in the same area. I caught Slackoth in Petalburg Forest, and I caught Marril on route 104, I just checked. And what's this about a legend? Anyway, thanks for clarifying that for me.
-
Well, you can;t use a legend on your team, but you can still catch them, and bank them. Banking a pokemon is not the same as placing one in dead, it just ensures you have a backup in case you lose one of your three.
Note on the revival rule, you can only use it on a pokemon that is dead in your party. The dead pokemon still counts as one of your three pokemon in the party.

Name: GAP
Starter Pokemon: Torchic (Advantura)
Progress So Far: Obtaining the first gym badge
Let me know if the link is working or not.
-
You would really watch hours of grinding Cortex? ???
-
At 300% speed, yes. Besides, it will be of the game roloc is playing, which I am guessing is one of the R/S/E versions.
-
Lol okay ::)
I know I wouldn't have the courage to do that :P
-
*Starts new save on Emerald (Emulator mode, of course)*
Not sure when I'll start, but I'll do. this sounds fun :D
-
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
-
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.

I know about it and i havent used it, the only time i did use it was to put the dead lilipup on the DEAD box

Actually I find that being able to use the pokecenter but not buy items more of a challenge cause as per Bings rules, you cant go back to heal at a pokemon center once you have started on a new route. So if you run out of the found items that you CAN use then you are just screwed cause you have no items and cant buy any.
I liked your run it was just boring in place of the fun of a nuzlocke run. The not being able to evolve pokes is what made it boring. Having to stay with those same 3 unevolved pokes forever is boring. But as for the rest of it I liked it. The using the items and not pokecenters made the game pretty easy. I beat the 4th gym and got bored of the run....about 2hours and 20mins of recorded video.
I'll be starting over with Bings rules and recording it and posting it.

Instead of bombing this one. I think I'll just make my own challenge thread.
-
No, go ahead and thread bomb. Doesn't matter to me. Everyone else, enjoy it.
-
im doing Cortex one, since its more challenging, the one of ONLY being able to heal at Pokemon Centers when PP is out are more of a challenge, since u have to make the moves count, i dont see why Bing rules are more challenging...

Being able to use items is what made it easy to me. You have to think about it like this. Your in a cave...3F...pokes are low on health...one is poisoned....guess what you cant use items cept for the ones you found in the world cause you cant buy them from the mart. and you cant go back to town to heal cause the rules say you cant go back and heal at a pokecenter if your on a new route. The poisoned poke dies and you just used your last potion....can you make it the rest of the way to the next town?
Thats what makes it hard.
-
oh, and is it better to heal one time when your in a city when in cortex rules u have to make use of every bit of your PP until you heal? you should think because you realy have to make your pp count, and pp its more important than items, since Elixir and other PP items are rare

Yeah, because you have to use up ALL of your pp before you can heal, the means every growl, every splash. You can't buy ethers/elixirs, so you won't have many of them to keep your PP up. So sure, you have to make it count, but once you can't deal damage, you're boned. The other cool thing about Bing's is that you can never have more than six pokemon. Three at a time is pretty cool, but you can just store a bunch of them in your boxes, and since you will have likely already encountered your first pokemon in a route when you have 6 pokemon, you won't be able to get a replacement from it.

Again...you cant go back and heal at pokecenters if your on a new route...if you start it and your pokemon need healing...you cant go back to heal them and if your out of items that you found in the game world your screwed cause you cant buy items. your pokes just die.
lmao you only find it hard cause you don't see the flaw in the rules.
Simply go back to low lvl Pokemon spam your attacks that don't do damage to get rid of all the PP you have left.
Ta da now you can heal at poke center.

And with those arguments, this challenge is now cancelled, to prevent a gigantic flame war. Those that still want to play by these rules, go ahead. Those that wish to do Bing's, go ahead. It doesn't really matter. Have fun and what not.
