ruleset

So.. I was watching some You Tube videos, when I came up with the perfect idea: The Roulette Locke. Basically... it's regular Nuzlocke, but you let a roulette choose the extra rules for you. This is meant for people who want some extra spice into their challenges; or for those who want...

●▲ ■Markinglocke♥︎★♦︎ This, perhaps a bit complex, Nuzlocke centers around markings - those small symbols on the Pokemon menu introduced in gen III that don't serve any purpose - well, now they do! Every time you catch a Pokemon, it is randomly assigned 1 (or zero, or several!) marks that...

so y'see, i was just here, minding my own business – when suddenly, somewhere in my brain, a little voice spoke up. "hey what if we did ucl but also we made a weird little ruleset for it instead of being normal?" and while for Reasons i cannot start an ucl right now, i sure CAN get hyperfocused...

So after wafting about with various rule ideas, I decided to come up with my own! This one is based off the robot from Dicey Dungeons, who's gameplay runs off similar blackjack mechanics. To start things off, You're gonna need a deck of cards, joker optional. An UNO deck can also be used, which...

As many of you know, I have been abstaining from playing Legends: Arceus until I am done with my playthrough of Brilliant Diamond. All the while, I have been listening to all the chatter about it, which has only helped my mounting excitement. What an awesome, revolutionary game for the Pokemon...

This is regarding my nuzlocke specifically. A few things you should know about my nuzlocke: It’ll be a comic that spans at least 9 games. The first game is Black, so I may include examples below. Of the four main characters, 1 (me) is uninterested in gyms and enjoys pokemon themselves, 2...

Hellllloooooooooooooooooo! I made this because it seemed fun to make a rule set. Welcome, one and all, to the typelocke! When you encounter a pokemon you can catch, look at its primary type. then go into the rules below and go into that type, and randomize a rule from that type. Follow the...

Game of Chance Introduction In a world where King's Rock can be banned from Smogon-style competitive Pokemon for introducing "too much luck" into the Pokemon battling system, it can be hard to remember that to a greater or lesser extent all Nuzlockes are dependent on it. Whether it's praying...

So a while back @RubyClaw did this awesome thing called the Lorelocke, which was/is an expanded ruleset for nuzlockes based largely on mythology. It gives each Pokemon several 'lore rules' to randomly select from when you catch them, and you can then decide whether to catch the Pokemon or not...

Hello everyone! This is going to be a very informal written log of me taking my new ruleset, the factorylocke (read up more about it here!) through Pokemon Black 2. The factorylocke is a custom ruleset that incentivizes the capture and use of atypical, "unnatural" pokemon like Vanillite or...

So... this one's gonna require some explanation. Way back in 2018, I was having a blast doing way, way too many Nuzlockes of Ultra Sun. I had just finished an Alphabetlocke that had 24 deaths and was also incredibly fun, so I decided that I wanted to do something similar. However, I had found...

SMTLOCKE - HEY DEMONS, IT'S YA BOI ABOUT SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI: AN OVERVIEW Although Pokemon is much more well known in the west, it's fairly common (?) knowledge that one of the main inspirations for this quirky, all-ages game series is the batshit insane, "killing god is usually the good...

THE FACTORYLOCKE—A RULESET THAT INCENTIVIZES THE USE OF INORGANIC, ARTIFICIAL, OR OTHERWISE UNUSUAL POKEMON I’m sure we’ve all heard it from time to time. “Ugh, Pokémon is so uncreative these days. A keychain? An ice cream pokemon? Game Freak is seriously losing their touch, lololol.” But...

We've been told for years that Pokemon are unique little critters with their own quirks and personalities. Any animal is unpredictable, and needs training and experience in order to be an obedient partner on our Pokemon journeys. We saw it firsthand in the Pokemon anime, where Ash's naughty...

curious what the general consensus is on rules you should use in a pmd nuzlocke all i have currently is: first recruit of a dungeon is your only recruit for the dungeon no reviver seeds (which almost seems harsh, but it's not that hard to grind early on if you ignore the plot) no shop (? i'm...

Rather than giving each individual Castlocke ruleset their own forum post, I decided it would be better to combine them all into one thread for easy browsing! I know quite a few people have made their own Castlocke rulesets in the past, so feel free to post them here if you want! I'll include it...

I'm sure I'm not the only one here who's had a few different ideas for Nuzlocke stories I've wanted to write or different concepts that've come to mind, but wasn't able to pursue for various reasons (usually lack of time for tackling that much stuff as the culprit). Or maybe there's just things...
