A lot of people seem to be excited about the release of Pokemon X and Y, so I figure we should do something to celebrate (even if I don't own a 3DS >.>).
I present to you the Nuzlocke Challege (official site here: http://www.nuzlocke.com/challenge.php).
How do you take part?
1. Pick any Pokemon game you like and start playing it (don't own one? Emulate!)
2. You may only capture the first Pokemon you find in each area. If you beat it, too bad.
3. If a Pokemon faints you must release it. (prying items from their cold, dead corpses is okay though)
4. You are not allowed to train any of your Pokemon above the highest level of the next gym leader's Pokemon.
5. You cannot trade Pokemon with anyone not taking part in the Nuzlocke Challenge.
6. Post your adventures here! You can straight-up tell us what happened or craft a story to share, or even an in-character diary, perhaps. I'll keep everyone's journal in spoiler tags on this page.
I'm not sure how many people will end up doing this, but I figured it might be fun =)
*Edit*:
Optional Rules:
1. Name your Pokemon after forum members.
2. Only use normal Pokeballs.
3. You may only attempt to capture a Pokemon 3 times. If you fail, you must beat it or run away.
