* Any Pokémon that [[Fainting|faints]] is considered dead, and must be {{pkmn2|released}} or put in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] permanently (or may be [[migrate]]d or transferred with [[Poké Transfer]], as long as the Pokémon is never able to be used again during this run). | * Any Pokémon that [[Fainting|faints]] is considered dead, and must be {{pkmn2|released}} or put in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] permanently (or may be [[migrate]]d or transferred with [[Poké Transfer]], as long as the Pokémon is never able to be used again during this run). | ||
* The {{player}} may only catch the first Pokémon encountered in each area, and none else. If the first Pokémon encountered faints or flees, there are no second chances. If the first encounter in the area is a double battle, the player is free to choose which of the two Pokémon they would like to catch but may only catch one of them. This restriction does not apply to Pokémon able to be captured during static encounters, nor to [[Shiny]] Pokémon. | * The {{player}} may only catch the first [[wild Pokémon]] encountered in each area, and none else.
