However this is to have fun as a community and not as a highly competitive form of Nuzlockes so only do what is fun for you! Any other rules can be self imposed such as no healing items, set battle, level caps, etc.I highly recommend writing it down before you hatch it, that way to don't forget. Every egg has a nickname and you must name the Pokémon you receive to match the egg's name. Nickname all your Pokémon the original egg nickname! ( not optional).Any Pokémon that requires trading can be done via certain emulator/ROM methods without having to trade, If you are well versed in figuring that out go for it, if not id try to avoid Pokémon that have trade evos (if not having a fully evolved Pokémon bothers you).You could theoretically go back and see what people posted for their eggs, but what is the fun in that?! Also all eggs should be set to hatch with just one step so there wont be any tedious running around to hatch (hopefully). However you can look at every egg and pick one, blind pick, flip a coin, etc.
I personally will choose random via dice***. When picking an egg you can decide how you would like to select one.Whenever you obtain a new encounter you must switch it out for an egg, no keeping encounters that are not eggs there is no exception (no legend captures, fossils, etc.).Starting off you will have a Tepig named DONOTUSE:), this is the Pokémon you will trade out to obtain your starter.You can only catch the first Pokémon you see on a route, and only one per route.If your Pokémon faints, it's dead and you have to release it or box it permanently.The rules for this event will be as follows: Save often and create backups since emulators are finicky and can and will crash on you. I highly recommend saving and creating a new save state and back ups because only you can prevent lost saved data.Once you switch out the Tepig: DONOTUSE starter for your actual starter, the Nuzlocke begins as we have poke balls and our starter! So be careful going into grass!.
