Inclement Emerald Hardcore Nuzlocke Rules

Pokemon Inclement Emerald Hardcore Nuzlocke Rules: (updated 10/2/2021)

NOTE: I HAVE BARELY LOOKED INTO THIS GAME, ONLY AT THE FIRST FEW TRAINERS. THIS IS BASICALLY A BLIND HARDCORE NUZLOCKE


1. Any Pokémon that faints is considered dead, and must be released or put in the Pokémon Storage System permanently (or may be transferred to another game, as long as the Pokémon is never able to be used again during this run).
2. The player may only catch the first wild Pokémon encountered in each area, and none else. If the first wild Pokémon encountered faints or flees, there are no second chances. If the first encounter in the area is a double battle, the player is free to choose which of the two wild Pokémon they would like to catch but may only catch one of them. This restriction does not apply to Pokémon able to be captured during static encounters, nor to Shiny Pokémon.
3. Nickname all Pokemon
4. No item use in battle
5. No levelling past the next Gym Leader's highest level Pokemon.
	5a. Level Limits for each gym:
Roxanne: 16
Brawly: 25
Wattson: 40
Flannery: 53
Norman: 55
Winona: 79
I have not looked past Winona yet, and I doubt I will be getting there anytime soon, so this part is left opent Drake and the Champion

6. Gift Pokemon are allowed
7. Legendaries can be allowed, depending on which ones they are
8. Dupes and Species Clause are Active, Shiny Clause is also a given no matter what
9. I am required to have FUN with this :)
