Anyone running one? If so, which game are you playing? Are you doing any variety of a nuzlocke (such as a wonderlocke)? Do you use additional rules?
I just got Alpha Sapphire (chose that one since I already played through the original Ruby), and decided to do a Nuzlocke run of it. Actually, I'm calling it a "sneaklocke", because I set a rule to utilize the new sneak feature; I have to wait for a pokemon to appear in the grass, and sneak up and get it. In complying with nuzlocke rules, I can only catch the first one I encounter per route (whether or not they have a rare move).
I'm currently in Mauville City, and have only lost two team members. My current team is closing in on level 25, and the roster is:
Marshtomp (Ki), Linoone (Nook), Swellow (Chirps), Mightyena (Pochi), and Plusle (Sparkz).
...I know, my nicknaming is terrible. >.>;;
I also meant to nickname my mudkip as "Kip", but hit the "enter" key too soon. ^^;; I might change that when I go back to Slateport city.
Besides the two standard rules for a nuzlocke, I play with the following rules:
-Starter pokemon is chosen via d12 dice roll (1-4 is grass, 5-8 is fire, 9-12 is water)
-Can only use sneaking to catch pokemon (which means I can't catch pokemon in caves)
-If the pokemon I'm attempting to catch faints, I lost my chance to catch a pokemon for that route
-Species and dupes clauses are both in effect
-Once a pokemon joins the team, it cannot be boxed unless it dies (in other words, I can't catch another pokemon on the next route and swap team members; the only exception to this rule is if I need a particular HM to proceed in the game, and none of my current team members can learn it)
-Cannot use legendary pokemon
-No trading (unless it's to get a pokemon to evolve)
-I can only use the same amount of pokemon the opponent is using
-No HM slaves
-Looking up information online (such as levels or walkthroughs) is forbidden
-Because I hate grinding (especially after losing a team member), use of the exp share item is allowed
-The nuzlocke ends when the E4 (plus champion) have been defeated...or if the team wipes
I've done nuzlockes since Fire Red/Leaf Green, including blind runs (blindlocke) of White, Platinum, and X...as well as a wonderlocke of Y.
The only nuzlocke I ever failed was my Platinum run, and my team went down to Cynthia the champion.
I also have an incomplete nuzlocke; ironically, it's the Ruby nuzlocke I once started (went on hiatus when I reached Sootopolis City).
