• The first two Pokémon I encounter in any new area are the only two Pokémon I am allowed to catch there. If I run into a Pokémon and fail to capture it, am unable to capture it due to a lack of Poké Balls, or choose not to capture it, I have effectively forfeited one of my two opportunities for a new Pokémon in that area.
  
  • For every Gym Badge I acquire, I will allow myself one "bonus chance" where I can capture a single Pokémon in any area I'd like. If I fail to capture the Pokémon for any reason, the chance is used up. Bonus chances cannot carry over once I acquire a new Badge; if I were to get two Badges in a row without using my bonus chance from the first Badge, I would not be permitted to take advantage of that. Use it or lose it.
    
  • Shiny Pokémon ignore Nuzlocke capture rules, and may be freely caught regardless, due to the rarity of such an event. If I somehow manage to find and capture two or more shiny Pokémon, only the first one I catch can be used in battle.
    
  • Should I encounter a wild double battle in tall grass, it only counts as one encounter despite there being two Pokémon in play at once. I am permitted to choose which Pokémon of the two I want to catch.
    
  • If I enter a new area and attempt to catch my two new Pokémon, and one of them is a Pokémon I have already caught, that encounter will not use up one of my two encounters, and I must defeat or run away from that Pokémon without catching it. If that Pokémon can evolve into two separate Pokémon, however, I must catch it, use up the encounter, and evolve both into their separate alternate final evolutions. For instance, if I encountered a Rattata when I already have one, I can run away or defeat it without using up an encounter. If I run into an Oddish and I already have one, I must catch it and evolve one into Vileplume and one into Bellossom.
    
  • I am allowed to take advantage of in-game trades, but each trade counts as one chance in the zone where I trade. For example, if I enter a new city where I can find wild Pokémon (because of fishing or whatever), and I conduct a trade in that city, I would only have one more chance to capture a wild Pokémon in that city after the trade.
    
  • If at any point I am faced with an HM obstacle that none of my surviving Pokémon can overcome (due to none of them being able to use the required HM), I am permitted to catch a single Pokémon that CAN learn the HM to progress. That Pokémon may not participate in the game in any way except to use that HM. Once I've bypassed the obstacle, that Pokémon must be immediately released.
  
  
• Any Pokémon that faints is considered dead, and cannot be used in any way, including battles, trades, HM use, or otherwise. Dead Pokémon must be released as soon as possible. Any held items on a dead Pokémon may not be recovered.
  
  • If at any point in the game all Pokémon in my party are fainted, I must release three of my surviving Pokémon (from the PC box), discard 75% of my Poké Balls and potions, and discard 75% of my money as punishment. The second time I wipe, I lose the Nuzlocke challenge. This is the "second chance" clause. If I do not have at least four surviving Pokémon in my PC box at the time I invoke the clause, I automatically lose.
  
  
• Revives and other healing items of that nature are obviously useless in a Nuzlocke run. However, I will also forbid myself from selling acquired Revives for money, and will instead discard them if I come across any.
  
• The Master Ball must be used on Zekrom, the game's main legendary. In other words, I cannot use the Master Ball on any other Pokémon.
  
• I may not game the system by reloading prior saves if I screw up.
  
• I will play to win. Grinding will be kept to a minimum, but I will do whatever it takes within the confines of my imposed ruleset to emerge victorious.
