* Strongly implied, though not explicitly mentioned in the comic, is the stipulation that the player can use only Pokémon they have captured themselves, meaning traded Pokémon, mystery gifts, etc., are prohibited. Trading and retrading the same Pokémon (for the purpose of evolving a {{p|Graveler}}, for example) is something of a gray area, and may fall under optional rules.

** As an extension, setting a limit on how much Dupes Clause can trigger in an area.
