So I'm doing a randomized Pokemon X/Y Soul Link Nuzlocke with Spottyjaguar and I'm responsible for our first loss because I forgot that horde encounters were a thing 😔

Nuzlocke Rules:

• only the first wild Pokemon encountered in a route or area can be caught. If the player fails to catch it (ie. it flees or faints), their opportunity to catch a Pokemon in that area is lost
• the player must nickname all Pokemon they catch or obtain
• any Pokemon that faints must be released or boxed permanently. It is considered "dead" for the rest of the challenge

Soul Link Rules:

• two players play through the same game simultaneously
• encounters for players on each route are linked. If one player fails to catch their encounter for a route, the other player must box or release their encounter for that route as well. If both players successfully catch their first encounter for that route, those two Pokemon are "linked" as partners
• linked Pokemon will have the same nicknames as one another
• when one player's Pokemon faints, its partner on the other player's team must be boxed or released as well
• if a Pokemon is placed in the PC, its partner on the other player's team must be placed in the PC as well
• it's common to randomize the encounters on each route for this challenge, to promote greater Pokemon and type variety between the teams, especially on early routes where Pokemon selection is limited
