oh you serious!
A nuzlocke is when someone plays a pokemon game w/ certain rules
My rules:
Rule 1: If a pokemon faints, it dies (starter has 5 lives)
Rule 2: I have to catch a pokemon on every route (if it dies, I can't catch anymore[ rule turns off in Safari Zone])
Rule 3: In gyms, Nuzlocke turns off (any other battle-including the championship/ elite 4- pokemon die)
Rule 4: given pokemon are the only exception to rule 2
