Pokémon Red - Nuzlocke challenge - part 1
0This was my first attempt at a Nuzlocke, and was successful.
Standard Nuzlocke rules:
- When a pokémon faints, it is permanently released.
- Only the first pokémon in a wild/static encounter may be caught, for each map location.
- No save reloading.
- If you are stuck without a certain HM, then you can catch an HM slave, but must never use it in combat.
House rules:
- Encounter rule is only activated once you have pokéballs.
- For Safari Zone, you are allowed one new pokémon for each zone.
- For game corner, can only claim one prize pokémon.
- Dupes clause: If you enounter a pokémon species (regardless of evolution stage) that you have owned before, you can not catch it, but are permitted to reroll for another pokémon.
Note that I played this with very little knowledge of the game (have only beaten it once casually, decades ago), and so I spent a lot of time looking up stuff about the game. Thus, it may have the appearance of a 'blind playthrough', and so may not appeal to viewers looking for a more reasonably-paced challenge run. I uploaded the full unedited footage for posterity rather than entertainment value. In future, I will play the games through before attempting Nuzlockes, which may make the runs watchable.
