Randomized GTL Nuzlocke Day 1

[shamorunner]

As someone who enjoys randomized nuzlockes, I decided to use the GTL to get random mons for encounters based on a set amount of PokeYen and a matching lvl range to the corresponding area for the given encounter. Since the PokeYen must be made on the nuzlocking character, each encounter area give one encounter, like redeemable token. To redeem, an advanced search on the GTL of the amount to buy and then the lvl range must be input and the most recently uploaded mon to the GTL bought. No items, currency, or mons may be sent to the account. If the nuzlocking character doesn't have 4 badges in a prior region then an additional $400 must be used to send it to a character that does have GTL access

 

Below are the rules and the components of Day 1. This isn't the best format as it is still in progress and gets slightly better as I made it through The first day of starting the nuzlocke. Somewhat meant for viewing, but even more so show another way to nuzlocke PokeMMO with semi-randomized encounters

 

Clauses:
1. Death Clause - Any pokemon that faints must be permaboxed or released
2. ~~~Found in Clause~~~ GTL Stock Clause - Each Encounter area (Route, cave, water area) gives one point to the "Stock" count
    -When an Encounter area's Stock is used, it must match the a respective locational level of an encounter area
    -The PokeYen is to be used to buy one mon off of the GTL matching how much PokeYen is on hand with the matching lvl criteria and must be the most recent mon uploaded to the GTL. Refreshing the GTL will void the stock and the GTL encounter
    -If the character is unable to access the GTL, then the PokeYen must be sent to another account to make the buy and then send it back. You must still front the initial mail fee of $400 from the nuzlocking character, but only the initial money sending fee
    -No items, mons, or Currency can be sent to the Nuzlocking character except the specific GTL encounters when a "Stock" is spent

3. Dupe Clause - If a Pokemon has previously been an FE, or one in its evolution line, it cannot be an FE again and re-rolls the FE
4. Shiny Clause - Shiny pokemon can be caught, but perma-boxed unless FE or the below
     -HM Slave
     -It is the same species as the FE. It may then replace the FE by choice or the FE Fainting
5. HM Clause - HM slaves may be used, but have to be boxed before taking on Gyms/Elite Four
     -If a pokemon in the party, or a non-FE shiny,  they must be used as a slave. If none of these can use an HM, then a non-first encounter may be used
     -If an HM slave is brought into a Gym/Elite Four, it counts as a dud/empty slot. If unintentionally sent out (opponent forces this too happen), it may be used as a free turn, but must be perma-boxed upon fainting
6. Item Clause - Only items found can be used in combat
     -Revival items found cannot be used for revival
     -Using thief to get items counts as finding items
     -Growing Berries or trading items (with NPCs) is acceptable as long as money isn't spent
     -If you don't know if you can use an item, if you spent money on the item, you may not use it in combat
7. White Out Clause - A White Out ends a run
8. Battle Clause - Set Mode in use (Already active being PokeMMO

Optional Clauses
~~~9. Pokeball Clause (Optional) - Only normal Pokeballs may be used~~~ [Null]
10. Starter Clause (Optional) - Can't use starter after first FE is caught [Active]
11. Blind Clause (Optional) - No research into Gyms/Elite Four [Active]
12. Over Leveling Clause - Only aloud if Blind Clause is in use [Active] [PokeMMO level caps are the guide]
~~~13. Game-Breaking-Moves Clause (Optional) - Faints and Whiting Out to Dragon Rage or Sonic Boom from wild pokemon before Gym 4 doesn't count as a faint or white out. This only applies for randomized games~~~
~~~14. Pick Up Clause (Optional) - Pokemon with Pick Up may be caught and count as a dud slot to gather items~~~

Additional clauses for PokeMMO: Utility Mons - Cost 10k PokeYen per Utility mon. If under 10k, the remaining amount is to be given away. Utility mons may not be used in combat and will count as a white out, barring moves that forcible swap them into combat like roar, in which case they are to be promptly swapped out to a non-utility mon. If a Utility mon overlaps, then it will require the additional cost of 10k per overlapping Utility mon
-Sweet scent mon
-Teleport mon
-Dig Mon

I swear I try to understand this post even reading it 2 times but I still don't understand the point

[Goku]

Only God knows what he is saying.

I guess he is trying to complete the game with certain rules he imposed on himself that limits him to gaining a certain amount of mons to do the playthrough idk.
