Challenge The Rotation-Locke Challenge!

[chaostothemax]

Hello, Chaostothemax here, bringing you all a brand new challenge from the depths of my twisted mind!
The Rotation-Locke Challenge is exactly what it sounds like - a Nuzlocke Challenge with a diabolical twist!

the rules, at least at first, are fairly similar to a normal Nuzlocke: You can only catch one Pokemon per route, and death is permanent. However, here's where the similarities end. You see, in a Rotation-Locke, you have to catch a Pokemon in each route/cave you enter. It must be caught as soon as possible, no exceptions, and no being picky. Not only that, but when you catch said Pokemon, and you don't have an empty slot, the new Pokemon must replace your oldest one. That's right; don't get too attached to your pokemon, because they'll be in and out of your team in an instant. This rapid-fire rotation is sure to change the way you see various Pokemon.

Aside from the unique Rotation-Locke rules, standard Nuzlocke rules and variations apply, like the Species Clause or the Nickname Clause.

This sounds a lot like a challenge I made a while back and just completed (the Orderlocke Challenge). Agreed, I think it's a great way to see a variety of Pokemon in your run! Always felt bad for all the Pokemon that never get used in Nuzlockes, and in regular playthroughs for that matter. Only point I'll differ on you about is that you totally still get attached to your Pokemon -- you just get attached to way more of them. ;) For the finale of my challenge, I made a montage of all the 'mons that I've had over the course of the run and I was just like "BAWWWW ALL MY BB'S LOOK AT THEM OH MY GOD I MISS YOU ALLLLL ;--;" by the time I was done.

If you're curious, where your rules and mine differ are that in mine, all Pokemon must also be kept in the order they were caught at all times, and they also must learn all level-up moves and have those be in the order they were learned as well. That sounds stricter, but I also didn't have a clause saying you have to make a catch attempt every time, so that helped soften it out a bit.
