To start out....what the hell is EZlocke

Ezlocke (Easy Locke) is a style meant to be rather merciful when it comes to losing your Pokemon. While a normal Nuzlocke playing style has you get rid of the Pokemon that fainted, Ezlocke allows you to keep one Pokemon permanently on the team regardless of fainting (The best friend).

Rules:

1:When a Pokemon faints and remains that way for a set amount of time inside and outside of battle combined, (Older games: 5-10 mins, newer 2-5 mins. But you can set your limit as you see fit.) they are considered dead and are to be released or boxed.

2: You are only allowed to put the first Pokemon you capture in an area on your team, you however are allowed to capture again if the Pokemon you captured from that area dies or is otherwise rendered useless. That is unless you're far too high of level to capture something from that area....then capture something from the safari zone or an area that you are able to catch from.

3: Nickname all of your Pokemon you captured.

4: Safari zones is fair game for all captures. No limits. No rules. Only captures.

5: (Optional) Legendary Pokemon are forbidden from use.

6: (Optional) The use of healing items {Potions, Revives, Curatives.}[6A] or Pokemon Centers [6B] are forbidden.

7: (Optional but not compatible with rule 6A) You're allowed only to use a revive once after every checkpoint which could be a town, Gym, or place of interest.

8: (Optional) During the gym leader and elite four battles, the use of revives is not allowed. And all faints in that battles are deaths with exception to the best friend pokemon.

9: (Optional.) Set your battle style to Set.

I will be following rules 1-4 and 5, but I will still attempt to catch them, with the Best Friend being Pikachu, the starter. My death time limit will be 3 minutes.
