Nuzlocke Challenge
A 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. Below are the rules for this Nuzlocke Challenge:
Any Pokémon that faints is considered dead, and must be boxed in R.I.P
You may only catch the first Pokémon encountered in each area, and none else. If the first Pokémon encountered faints or flees, there are no second chances. A side rule to ban duplicate captures is granted.
You may not use any TM's until you have gone past the victory road and are about to battle the elite four. HM's are an exception since they are needed for travel. No more than two HM moves per Pokémon.
You may not buy any healing items, however you may use healing items that are found. Revives may be sold to purchase healing items (Revive is good for 12 healing items, Max Revive is good for 24)
No held items may be used until after you have gone past the victory road and are about to battle the elite four.

Self proclaimed rival
