PIMPNITES Crystal Soul Link Nuzlocke Randomizer Rules

These are the Rules and Info for Pimpnites Crystal Soul Link Nuzlocke stream. Please read before asking or contributing!

The main goal of this Soul Link Randomizer Nuzlocke Is to collect all 16 badges, defeat elite 4 and Red.
This will be a Soul Link so myself and LadyKrimZen will be working together as a team!

What Is a Soul Link?
Every Action effects BOTH PLAYERS
Two players play through the same game simultaneously.
Encounters for players on each route are linked. If one player fails to catch their encounter for a route, the other player must box or release their encounter for that route as well. If both players successfully catch their first encounter for the route, those two Pokémon are “linked” as partners.
When one player’s Pokémon faints/killed, its partner on the other player’s team must be boxed or released as well.
If a Pokémon is placed in the PC, its partner on the other player’s team must be placed in the PC as well.

What Is A Randomizer?
This game will have random Pokemon & Items
HMs are In same spot (All Pokemon Can learn every HM)

I want this to be entertaining, very challenging but not excessive grinding/restrictive for us & viewers.
I have come up with 2 Sets of Rules to achieve this, BASE and INCENTIVE.

These are the BASE Rules plus the INCENTIVE Perks Rules. Please Read ALL Rules & Perks to understand the playthrough.

BASE RULES:
- Nuzlocke does not begin until WE get pokeballs.
- Any Pokémon that faints must be boxed. It's dead for the rest of the game unless brought back by an INCENTIVE Perk.
- Only the first wild Pokémon encountered in a route or area can be caught. If the player fails to catch it (flees or
  faints), the opportunity to catch a Pokémon in that area is lost. INCENTIVE Perk REROLL can be used to re encounter.
- If a pokemon Is a Dupe for the first encounter, I must re encounter a new pokemon. If the dupe pokemon Is no longer alive
  on my team and we re encounter It, I may CHOOSE to catch It again or re roll the encounter.
- If entire team dies + boxed mons or we deem the run dead (softlocked), we will begin a fresh new game.
- All Pokemon caught must be nicknamed something (INCENTIVE Rules can apply here too)
- Healing Items allowed In Battle etc
- We cannot swap a pokemon from my party with one In the box until It dies ONLY an Incentive swap can do this.
- 1 Legendary Per Team (Mewtwo, Mew, Moltres etc)
- Poison Deaths In overworld count as a Pokemon Death
- No X Items during battle
- We can use Vitamins such as Calcium etc
- We MUST HAVE BALLS BEFORE ANY POKEMON CAN BE KILLED (By NPC or Superchat Incentive)
- If we find a RANDOM shiny (not sympathy gyrados encounter) It can be auto put In party with a MAX REVIVE STATUS.

INCENTIVE RULES:
These Rules are Tied to Youtube Superchats & Gifted Members. They are optional Incentives that could HELP or HINDER me!
The game will commence regardless If these happen or not, just a fun added bonus If anyone wants to be nice or evil.
If you contribute but don't want a reward that Is okay too, stream goals are still In place for a Pickle!

Youtube bases superchats off $USD (please convert on google prior If you have a cheaper currency like AUD,CAD, etc)

- $5 Superchat or 1 Gifted Member: Nickname a Pokemon of your choice (1st come first serve, If none available next caught)
- $10 Superchat or 5 Gifted Member: Nickname a Specific Pokemon (There Is alot of competition on certain pokemon)
                     PLEASE SPECIFY IF THE NICKNAME IS FOR MYSELF OR LADYKRIMZEN

- $25 or 10 Gifted Members: Pick 1 Pokemon I can't use for 1 Battle (Gym or random, Does not Apply to Elite 4)

  If the route has many repeat encounters headbutt, surf, fishing rod etc can be used.
  Re- Rolls via Incentive are Unlimited and can be done as many times as It occurs on any route/location/missed catches
                     PLEASE SPECIFY IF THIS IS FOR MYSELF OR LADYKRIMZEN

Any Major Incentives do have LIMITATIONS PER stream:

1 Person Can only kill 1 specific pokemon per stream, You can kill multiple as long as they are different each time.
WE can only have 2 pokemon on each team at a time with a MAX REVIVE Status. (So 2 max revive pokemon each)

We must have at least 1 TYPE OF POKEBALL remaining that can be purchasable (example If master,ultra,great ball all get perma banned poke ball Is Immune as It Is my last purchasable ball to capture pokemon with)
Cannot ban 1 type of ball If we have not progressed to get another type or any other softlocking.

If a Pokemon Gets KILLED AND MAX REVIVED at the same time by 2 separate people (or close as there Is stream delay) Said Linked Pokemon are removed from party and put In Alive Box. This seems like the fairest compromise If this rare moment happens.

If an ITEM Gets PERMA BANNED AND BROUGHT BACK at the same time by 2 separate people (or close as there Is stream delay) Said Item Is not perma banned but has a normal ban status, as In It can now be brought back. This seems like the fairest compromise If this rare moment happens.
