Rules:

• Starter determined by last digit of ID number (1-3 is Rowlet, 4-6 is Litten, 7-9 is Popplio, 0 is choice)
  
• A fainted Pokemon is dead and must be released
• 1 capture allowed per area per encounter type (I.E a capture via fishing, surfing or shaking spot can be done on top of the traditional encounter.) Only the first encountered Pokemon with any method may be captured
• Routes divided into distinct or named sections, I.E. cave interior vs exterior, qualify as different areas
• Areas that do not allow capture for narrative, I.E. Trial sites, are not restricted by the first encounter rule until capture is allowed on that route.
• Gift Pokemon are allowed if they are not overleveled for the trainer (Event Munchlax is allowed, Ash Greninja is not)
• Trading is only allowed for evolution, and must end with the Pokemon having the Nuzlocke trainers’ ID
• Pokemon Refresh and PokePelago are allowed.  Pokemon Refresh use is encouraged to better bond with Pokemon.
• Pokemon who join the box through Pokepelago may be used in the case of a dead Pokemon but cannot be used unless a Pokemon dies.
• Exp Share is disallowed and Exp Share must be turned off upon reception.
• Pokemon switching is to be locked to Set, trainers will switch out before you can.
• If the first Pokemon encountered calls for help, any summoned Pokemon may be captured within the same encounter, even if the initial Pokemon is defeated.  A capture will end the encounter and no other capture may be made with the same encounter method in that area.
• All captured Pokemon must be named whether they are used or not.
• If the first Pokemon encountered in an area is the same species, or part of the same family as an already captured Pokemon (appears on the same Pokedex page), then it may be knocked out without negating the capture for that route.
• Shiny Pokemon encountered do not count for the capture restrictions
• In the event of a team wipe, the Nuzlocke is over and must be abandoned or restarted from scratch.
• Breeding is allowed with captured Pokemon, additional captures are not allowed for breeding purposes, trainer must work with what they have.
• Legendaries (Title legends, Tapu and UBs) may be captured without route restriction, but cannot be soft reset.
• Nuzlocke will continue until trainer has reached the Battle Tree and defeated either Red or Blue.  After defeating a classic champion of choice, capture restrictions will no longer be enforced and free capture will be allowed.
• Defeated party members may only be boxed rather than released if they are capture restricted (Starter, version exclusives, fossils, etc.)  These Pokemon may be placed in a grave box and traded away to another game, Pokemon received in trade for Pokemon in the grave box must be released
• New clothes do not need to be purchased, but a new outfit is highly encouraged..
• All revives given or found must be sold and cannot be used to revive fallen allies.
• Player is allowed 3 save wipes/soft resets.  If data is lost from the system losing power, or from being turned off without saving more than 3 times the Nuzlocke is forfeited.  A save wipe is the only way to revive a fallen Pokemon, but runs the risk of losing rare catches.  A save wipe cannot be used in an attempt to capture a legendary if the attempt failed. Save often, use them wisely.

Feel free to use these rules or adjust them for your own Nuzlocke runs, and good luck.

• Alola is made up of 4 islands, Melemele, Poni, Ula’Ula, and Akala.
• Post game has 4 “Island Districts” that aren’t viewable on the map. Ekahi Island, Elua Island, Ekolu Island, and Kalola Island.
• Kalos is not available post-game, but Hoomaka Cave on Kalola Island holds a huge easter egg I believe. Deep inside there is a dark entrance guarded by a backpacker that states the railroad is closed for now and only a Pokémon that emits a special light can ignite the way to the other side. No Pokémon in your party will allow you to enter for now.
• Rockruff has 3 evolutions similar to Eevee in RBY. All of them require learning “Howl”.
• Salandit has a split evolution line at level 36, one for Male and one for Female.
• There are 16 Z-Stones, 18 total, with a Trial Captain for 16 of the types. Guzma and Plumeria are holders of the missing Dark and Poison Z-Stones.
• Some Pokémon can change shape/stats after they perform a Z-Move. These include Greninja (Rainbow), Solgaleo (Radiant), Lunala (Full Moon), Marshadow (Eclipse), Espeon (Dawn), and Umbreon (Dusk).
• All 47 Mega Stones are accessible on the island districts. There aren’t any new Mega Evolutions.
• There are a total of 128 new Pokémon and 23 Alolan forms. These Alolan forms are all Gen 1 exclusive Pokémon.
• Alolan form Pokémon that are capable of Mega Evolving can do so, Alakazam and Kangaskahn are among these.
• Marshadow, an extremely gorgeous dolphin, has a jewel on its head that emit sparkles so bright, that its seen as the emissary of light. It’s stats are pretty underwhelming, but it has a cool ability that allows it to have any Psychic type combination. The second type is random every time it enters the battle field. Even switching out causes it to change.
• The Strange Souvenir item in XY depicts a Ghost/Rock Pokémon from Alola named Gigareki. It’s a giant tiki (different from the Tapu lines) that has an amazing laughing animation when you battle with it. It is said to be the oldest living Pokémon, and seen as a “Teacher” in many ways.
• The NX will be a dual handheld/console set for release next year. Sept 2017 there will be a parent game that features both regions of XYSM exclusive to this console.
• Rainbow Greninja will be revealed by TPC on Aug 21.
• Alolan Alakazam family are fighting type. Alolan Alakazam can mega evolve, keeps the fighting type, and gains No Guard.
• Yes. The Z-Bracelet is a key item in your backpack. Selecting it allows you to place 1 mega stone and 1 z stone inside of it. This allows for more crazy strategies because your Mega Pokémon can now hold items like Rayquaza due to this.
• The first district you’re taken too has a slightly upgraded Battle Maison. One of the districts has a Lugia/Ho-Oh depending on your version.
• All Champions from previous games are able to battled on the S.S. Anne while they’re bored. The S.S. Anne brings you to the districts.
• Rainbow Greninja is technically Ash Greninja but with a name change. It will be revealed in the closing ceremony at World’s 2016.
• Meowth that knows “Happy Hour” and OT Alola will be distributed at World’s. Cherish Ball.
• If you add 128 to our existing 721 roster, that means Generation 8 will only need to introduce 151 Pokemon (like a reboot) to bring our total count to 1000.

We can expect a gameplay demonstration from Gamescom, and one of these rumors may be confirmed on Saturday 8/21 during Worlds.  Here’s hoping!

Things that excite me from the new Sun/Moon trailer:

• New region being a chain of islands, so Surf will actually be used more than once
• Rotomdex
• Real time updating Town Map on the touch screen that marks places of interest
• Expanded character customization
• Solgaleo and Lunala
• That day/night cycle difference!
• That night cycle skybox.

Things that are possibly alluded to in the new Sun/Moon trailer:

• Possibly two rivals, Hau and Lillie (Hau was shown to choose the starter weak against yours)
• National Dex integration during main game through QR codes
• Second starter set?  Your initial starter is not given to you by Professor Kukui, or his assistant, and there are still 4 generations of starters without Megas
• MORE MEGAS
• Non-static Pokemon locations
• Day/Night variation in Pokemon locations and rarity

So much potential from Sun and Moon so far.  Can’t wait to see more.

Seeing people not shit on Popplio like:
