Day 0: The Rules

Why even a Nuzlocke Sun?!

So after first playing a little bit through Pokémon Sun, I was disappointed at how low the difficulty was. Much lower than Red, Silver, Ruby, Diamond, Platinum, Black and X's difficulties to my sense.
This felt especially true due to two new mechanics that were brought into Sun and Moon; Z-Moves and Totem Pokémon.
Because the first would one-shot the latter.
Normally, the Pokémon main games already feel a tad easy for me, but that's okay because it makes that I can play the games casually!
But one-shotting the "bosses" is a bit sad, now isn't it?

Disclaimer

I did not finish Sun before deciding on a Nuzlocke run and erasing my save data.
It was after I just beat the Grass Totem Pokémon, that was supposed to be "hard" that I gave up.
Because of this, I'll be playing most of the game "blindly" so to speak, I even won't allow myself to look anything up!
Secondly, I can already hear some people saying: "Well then why don't you stop using the Z-Moves?!"
Simple: I find it sad that I'm not allowed to use the new mechanic due to the
game's difficulty not being adjusted to it!

The rules: 

Aside from using the basic rules for Nuzlocke (catch only the first wild Pokémon in an area / fainted Pokémon may not be revived) I am also setting these optional rules for myself:

1. Nicknaming clause I must nickname every Pokémon that I get in the game, as to make a stronger bond with it (I always do this, but I'm just stating it here for clarity)
2. Black Out clause As soon as I have no life Pokémon left in my party, and "black out", I fail the challenge
3. No Trade clause I am only allowed to use Pokémon that I can get by myself and using legal method in the game only. That means that I can still use Pokémon that I traded with / am gifted by NPC's in the game, but I am not allowed to use Pokémon that come from trading/transferring from other games.
4. No Fleeing clause I am not allowed to flee from any battle, and must take down any Pokémon, uncluding wild ones, that I encounter. Repels are still allowed, but I don't I will use them.
5. Soft Reset clause I am not allowed to shut down the game and reload my save on purpose. (I never do this, but am just stating it here to be sure)
6. No Balls clause The first rule (one Pokémon per area) does not take effect until I am able to get Pokéballs ("no balls", *giggle*)
7. Legendaries clause The first rule (one Pokémon per area) does not apply to static encounters that are imposed by the story, such as the legendaries
8. I will discard reviving items as to not gain money from it. Same goes for Master Balls, the real fun is catching the legend yourself!
9. I will be doing it completely blind from the Grass Totem on, and not allow myself to use the internet or friends to look up any info on the trainers, Pokémon or moves that I encounter. I can only learn this info using what the game tells me.
10. I will allow myself to use Z-Moves. This is no restriction but again, I am stating this just to be sure.

With that out of the way

Let's go on an adventure!
