Cortex J's Nuzlocke Challenge
« on: March 12, 2012, 08:33:26 PM »
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
