The Here and Now - a specialized nuzlocke ruleset
i made another one lol
It was fun working with the themes of xy to make Ends of the Earth, so i decided to make another challenge based around a game; this time its dpp on the block. rules are under the cut and heres a link to all that in a google doc
The Here and Now - A Specialized Nuzlocke Ruleset
Recommended game: pokemon diamond, pearl, or platinum versions
General Rules: 1. The standard affair, you get one catch per area, dupes clause and the evolution clause are optional.
2. Gift pokemon count for the area received and eggs count for where they are hatched. You get a 3 egg limit. An egg hatching does not detract from the total evolution tally. Unless you want to, for some reason, make this thing harder. You can get one fossil of your choice revived, not necessarily the first one you find.
3. You can choose to kill your encounter instead of catching it but there goes your only chance for a pokemon in that area.
4. Dead is as dead does. Once it faints its gone. Toss the corpse in a graveyard box forever or release the ashes into the wild. Sell any revives found via mining or in the overworld, and only use rare candies on living pokemon.
5. Make it hurt. Nickname everything you catch, themes are suggested but not required.
Challenge specific 1.Hurry Hurry!! you get a total of 25 evolutions. As in, every time your pokemon evolves, remove 1 count from your total value. Starting at 25, once you get to zero, you are no longer allowed to evolve pokemon.
2. Watch it, buddy. You've got a weight limit. Each team members weight gets added into a total weight. If it exceeds the current weight limit, bench someone til youre under or right at the limit. (Ignore decimals)
2.5. please count your torterra as the same weight of your second heaviest team member instead of its 683 ibs. Its throwing off my math and im not gonna make a weight set just for it. (Ex: if you have a torterra, and a bastiodon is the next heaviest member in the active party, disregard torterras weight and count the bastiodon twice)
The base weight limit is 200 ibs, with each gym badge you earn an increase on the maximum weight. 1 badge max: 350 ibs
2 Badge max: 450 ibs
3 badges max: 550 ibs
4 badges max: 650 ibs
5 badges max: 700 ibs
6 badges max: 750 ibs
7 badges max: 800 ibs
8 badges max: 900 ibs
4. Best friends forever. If your starter dies, the run is over. You can't have one without the other. You cannot remove your starter from the active team.
Game Specific: 1.Not for mortal hands. Kill the legendaries: Creselia, Darkrai, Dialga, Palkia, Giritina, and Arceus.
2.Hold that thought. Run from every encounter with the lake legendaries. You may not attack them unless forced to for the story.
3.This shit rocks. Go as apeshit as you want in the underground just remember to abide the revive and fossil rules.
4.Best of both worlds. Run is completed once the champion is defeated and you've won at the highest contest level in at least one category. feel free to modify or disregard rules to suit your playstyle n all that jazz! have fun and let me know of any improvements i can make or cool bits from your run!
good luck and have fun!
