Itt: Post your custom Nuzlocke rules

>>33174376
>This clause makes it so if you DO use DexNav, you have to prove how invested in that mon you are by EV training it up.

But youre only proving this to yourself. If you want the pokemon just catch the fucking pokemon and use it whenever you want. Is this the pokemon equivalent of orgasm denial or something? Who are Nuzlockes for? unless youre streaming nobody would know youre doing a Nuzlocke (or breaking your own arbitrary rules)

>What are your custom rules?

I catch any Pokemon I want and KO/Black out is just fine because i'm not fucking autistic

It's for circlejerking in the nuzlocke thread

>Catch only the first Pokemon you encounter on every route, if you fail to do so, then there's no second chances
>If a Pokemon faints, it's boxed forever
>A blackout is a game over
>Nickname all Pokemon you catch
>No healing and held items, use the Pokemon Center to heal your Pokemon
>Use only Pokeballs to catch Pokemon
>No TMs, HMs is an exception
>No catching duplicates
>No catching Shinies either, unless if its a first encounter
>No using Legendaries, not even when you encounter one in the wild in a Randomlocke

I feel like my rules don't make Nuzlockes any harder, though. So I'm thinking of adding more rules and see how much I can push my limits.

>use the Pokemon Center to heal your Pokemon

That's a pretty solid set of rules. I think the "no held items" rule is kinda harsh, though: in a nuzlocke, you've gotta be as resourceful as you can possibly be: use the items you come across, and make GOOD use of them.
But the no healing held items is fair if you're playing with the Pokecenter clause.

I only have 1 extra rule when I do Nuzlockes.

>I cannot access my PC at any time, except for when a Party Member dies.

Forces me to use those early routes 'mons.

On my last AS Nuzlocke, caught a Poochyena on route 101 and it made it to Steven Rematch after the Delta Episode. Mightyena became a bro on that Nuzlocke.

The only rule I usually add is: you can use revives, but only the ones you find lying around. Otherwise no buying revives

I like running with the "no duplicates" exception to the first encounter rule. This does leave some routes with no possible captures, but that goes into my next rule(s).

>Breeding/hatching is allowed (and permits duplicates), but the hatched egg counts as the one capture for the route/area you're in
Breeding is seldom worth the return on investment on a Nuzlocke, but it's available if you think the situation is right.
>Breeding is monogamous
Mainly prevents Ditto re-use (especially with no duplicates limiting you to one) and makes the breeding process more deliberate and thoughtful for the player.

>No Pokemon Centers, Home and items only
I went with this for a Gen 3 emulated run since I basically played through gen 1 and 2 using no consumable heals; thought it would be a handicap until 3rd gen Pickup started giving me more nuggets than /k/. At least later gens adjusted the drops.

And speaking of 3rd gen...
>Shedinja appearing in the party counts as a capture much like a hatching egg would
...though good fucking luck trying to make a Shedinja useful in a Nuzlocke

>Can only catch first mon on routes
>Can catch event mons, ie. Snorlax, Legendaries, etc.
>Can use gift mons
>blackout means your party is dead but if you have mons in the PC you can use them
>box dead mons
>upon beating the game, dead mons are revived (my babies ;~;)
>shinies are freebies and can never die
>no trainer items in battle (held items are fine, and healing items outside of battle are fine, tho obv no revives)
>cannot skip trainers under any circumstances
>must keep a full team if possible
>obv cannot catch more than designated mons, die when fainted, etc

Not sure if my rules are lenient or strict.
