Pokémon Red Deathlocke Rules

Gary's Pokémon Red Hardcore Deathlocke Rules:

1. I can only catch/receive the first Pokémon in a given Route/Area. If I fail to catch them, sucks to suck.
2. If any of my Pokémon faint, the run is over and I have to restart from the beginning of the game.
3. I must play on SET mode.
4. No items can be used in battle directly from the bag (held items are fine).
5. My Pokémon's levels are capped at the next gym leader's highest level Pokémon. If any Pokémon over level before fighting them, they are unusable until after the gym is finished.
6. All trainers are mandatory and cannot be skipped.
7. The legendary birds CAN be used because they're not even that good in this game compared to other Pokémon. Mew is banned.
