We have reached our first goal of the year! That means starting on 2/22 I will be attempting my first ever Nuzlocke Challenge with the game: Pokémon LeafGreen. Want to see what other challenges that you could help me take on? Click here.
What is Nuzloke?
The Nuzlocke Challenge is a set of rules intended to create a higher level of difficulty while playing the Pokémon games. Many challengers feel that the rules also serve the purpose of encouraging the use of Pokémon the player would not normally choose, and promoting closer bonds with the player's Pokémon. The rules are not an in-game function, but are self-imposed on the part of the player, and thus subject to variation.

What are the rules?
- You can only capture the first Pokémon you encounter in each new area you explore.
- If one of your Pokémon faints, you must release it. It is dead.
- You must nickname everything.
- Starter Pokémon is based on the player's Trainer ID number. If the last number is 1-3 the player starts with a Grass type, 4-6 is Fire type, 7-9 is Water type, 0 is the player's choice.
- Species/Dupes Clause: Adjusting the first encounter rule to prevent the player from having to catch multiple of the same Pokémon, for the sake of variety. Generally this means that the trainer can keep fighting Pokémon in the area until one is encountered that has not been caught yet, which then immediately counts as the first encounter.
- Prohibition against voluntarily resetting and reloading the game when things go wrong. Being able to do so would render all of the other rules pointless.
