The Nuzlocke Challenge (also known as a Nuzlocke or Nuzlocke) is a Pokémon "hard mode" challenge which originated as a webcomic. The creation of the Nuzlocke Challenge has said to have happened when a bored student started playing Pokémon but wanted to play it differently because they were bored of the original game. The challenge got dubbed Nuzlocke because of the pokemon Nuzleaf and the drawing of John Locke. The comic was originally posted to 4Chan.
Rules
Official rules
The "official" rules for this challenge are as follows:
- When a Pokémon faints it is deemed "dead" and must be released after the battle.
- The player can only catch the first Pokémon encountered in the route (i.e. Route 9) and only that Pokémon. There are no second chances, therefore if the player faints the enemy or it flees then no Pokémon can be caught from that area. If it is a double battle then the player must choose one to catch.
- No reseting your game if things go wrong as that would be considered cheating.
Community rules
These rules have been made by the community (and are therefore not official and used by everyone):
- The player should name each caught Pokémon to strengthen the bond, meaning the player will feel a stronger desire to keep them alive.
- When the player runs out of Pokémon it is game over.
- The Lucky Egg should not be used, same with the Exp. Share.
- Legendary Pokémon are considered cheating as they are normally more over powered than the normal Pokémon that are found in the wilderness.
- Master Balls are not allowed.
Reception
 | This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (May 2015) |
The challenge was received very positively with people making YouTube videos on it and people making their own webcomic on their experiences. The community made a Pokémon game by the name of Pokemon Uranium which contained a Nuzlocke mode.
