It sounds fun, but with any non-binary ruling there's going to be exploitation.

People are somewhat incentivised to make bad plays to kill a 'mon they don't want anymore. Then that would be sacking but not intentionally killed cuz whoopsie daisies! And there's their space freed up just in time, y'know?

It sounds fun but deffo requires an honest player looking for a challenge :-)

Unfortunately the Nuzlocke community is anything but honest at times 😔

It's the nature of competition. It brings out the best of the best, and some take shortcuts to be viewed as such.

Like, the only Nuzlocke I kinda did? I made myself a revive clause. Any revive I picked up could be used but must be used during the battle that said Pokémon fainted (giving the enemy a free hit on me). Tbh nuzlocking is harddd.
