A few simple rules.

Rule #1: Whenever a Pokemon faints, it is to be placed in a box in Bill's PC entitled "Graveyard". NO REVIVES!

Rule #2: You can only catch one Pokemon per new area (Route, City, Cave, etc.). This Pokemon has to be the first Pokemon you encounter in that area.

Rule #3: Each Pokemon must have a meaningful nickname.

Rule #4: LIMITED POKE CENTER USE! There is no Official listing, but this is supposed to be challenging. When I start mine, I'll set it to once per Poke Center.

Rule #5: You cannot use HMs if the Pokemon who knows it had fainted.

Rule #6: Have Fun!
Rule #6b: A lot of victims, I mean contestants, create stories and/or comics to go with it.

NOTE: There are variations to these rules. The only set rules are #1 and #2.

Yes, I stole it from SUT. I'm not gonna use rule 4 and rule 6B when I do mine in Gold.

Sounds challenging. I may do it one day.

You all should check my run on SUT.

I'm in the middle of a runthrough of a fire red version hacked to make you Gary.

And my challenge isn't going well. The AI is getting way too lucky with crits. I have 4 Pokemon that are alive and around 10 in the Graveyard and I just beat Whitney.

Oh Whitney's Miltank was always a bitch.

I almost lost my Geodude against the Miltank.


Anyway, it's 5 in the graveyard and I had a Growlith waste my first Pokemon by roaring me away.

Oh man, you should have just gone for Sudo, it's a sure thing.

I count Sudo as the route between Violet and the Ruins of Alph.


I got Sudowoodo. I also got a replacement Hoothoot.....that a Stantler critted to death.

Now I have Eevee from Bill (count it as Goldenrod so no Game Corner Pokemon)

Woot, Eevee!

Espeons are boss.

Aaaand I just lost my Croconaw to a crit....great....the time I can't revive Pokemon, the computer gets crits galore.

Naturally.

That's one of the rules of the world.
