The Nuzlocke Challenge has only two rules that must be followed:
The Nuzlocke Challenge has only two rules that must be followed:
* Any Pokémon that [[Fainting|faints]] is considered dead, and must be {{pkmn2|released}} or put in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] permanently. (or may be transferred to another game) 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 transferred to another game, as long as the Pokémon is never able to be used again during this run).
* The {{player}} may only catch the first [[wild Pokémon]] encountered in each area, and none else during a run. If the first wild Pokémon encountered is not caught (example: wild Pokémon 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 wild 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 must nickname all of their Pokémon, for the sake of forming stronger emotional bonds.
* The player must nickname all of their Pokémon, for the sake of forming stronger emotional bonds.
* The player may only use Pokémon they have captured themselves in a run, meaning Pokémon acquired through [[Trade|trading]], [[Mystery Gift]]s, etc., are prohibited. As for trading and retrading the same Pokémon (for the purpose of evolving a {{p|Graveler}}, for example), there is no firm consensus. As of [http://www.nuzlocke.com/comics/pokemon-hard-mode/page/11/ White: Hard-Mode Episode 3], it is implied that the player can accept Pokémon that are received freely from NPCs.

* The player may not voluntarily reset and reload the game whenever things go wrong. Being able to do so would render all of the other rules pointless.
