What is a Nuzlocke?
A Nuzlocke is a playthrough of a Pokemon game using a self-imposed modified ruleset, to make the game more challenging and for fun. Usually players track their Nuzlockes online, and sometimes post drawings or stories to go along with their playthrough.
Playthrough Rules
-Permabox a Pokémon on KO; running out of Pokémon is Game Over
-Catch only the first Pokémon you encounter in each route
-(May make an exception for shinies)
-Box starter as soon as possible
-Battle type is “set"
-May avoid duplicate Pokémon ("no dupes” clause)
-Unlimited Pokémon Center uses (I’m casual and paranoid as all hell!)
-May buy and use unlimited Pokeballs
-EXP share is turned off
-No held items
-No Pokémon Refresh
-Do not use Pokémon given by NPCs
-No TMs
