nuzzlock mode

[ThePrettyPetard]

i think pretty much everyone know what a nuzzlock is but for those who don't know it's just 2 rules added to the base game to make it more challenging

1. you can only capture the first pokemon you encouter at each route/location 

1,5. there is the duplication close that if you encouter on a new route/location a pokemon from a specie you allready caught you get another try (optional)

2. when a pokemon faint it's dead and you can't use it anymore wich mean item like revive are useles

 

the way i think would be the best for pokemmo would be to add this mode has a post story mode that you could access by talking to a npc or someting else

1. it would set you back to the begining of the story while keeping all your pokemon/item/money in a spareted place not accessible while in the nuzzlock

2.you can set your nuzzlock to pause at any moment ( as long as you are in a pokecenter to avoid abuse) to go back to your usual stuff then start back at anytime by going back to the pokecenter where you left your nuzzlock to pause

3. you will be able to give up the nuzzlock at any point and take the  pokemon you wish to keep to your starting character but the item you get from the story  like those you find on the ground /get has a gift from npc will be destroyed to avoid exploit while still leaving those that bought/got lucky with a catch/had a pick up pokemon able to keep those item (maybe have like a box or 2 with your nuzzluck pokemon for a limited amout of time to carry over the pokemon you wish to keep in case the box is full at the moment)

4. pokemon that fainted in combat will be sent to a pc box named graveyard and won't be able to move from there until you either finished the story or gave up the nuzzlock

5. in case of a shiny encouter that isn't your first one on the route you could be allowed to catch it but it will be put in the graveyard box as using that pokemon would be cheating ( this is to prevent people from raging for not being able to catch a shiny)

6. those that beat the nuzzlock could be rewarded with a badge to show to everyone (maybe one for each region)

 

feel free to let me know what you think about it or if you see a way to improve the idea

Why don't you just create an alt and run it yourself? You know the rules, you decide if you follow them or not and how restrict you decide to be. No need for a badge or anything, it's a fun mode only, not a must play or original mode.

Either way, I'm all up for them introducing new interesting PvE challenges.

Wouldn't it be easier to just have the option to do nuzlocke on character creation?

This sounds like an interesting option for a dungeon theme, make all the players that enter nuzzlock.

If all your pogeymen die then you get thrown of the dungeon, if you make it til the end then you win whatever prize is there AND you get to keep the remaining alive pokemon (HAs hint hint).

The challenge would be to design it so its not too short nor thoo long, couple hours might be doable.

yes it would probably be easier that way but that would leave a charater pretty much useless once your done with the challenge since you will most likely come back to your main once it's done and you wouldn't have a much of a reward for it on your main

To be fair, its a bit late to do it if you already completed everything on your main so why would that matter?

Once you completed the stories you couldn't even do a Nuzlocke Challenge on your main.
