I started this on Platinum about... three days ago.
Rules:
1. If a Pokémon faints, it's dead. (Boxed in a box labeled dead.)
2. Species Clause, no two identical species can be caught throughout the game. (Overrides first seen rule, must be the first seen after copies have been encountered. ex: I catch a Bidoof on 201. I find a Bidoof on 202 first, I can't catch it. I find a Starly after that Bidoof. I can catch it.)
3. Nickname all Pokémon the names of people that last spoke around you. (More bonding happens.)
4. Run-on routes don't count as separate areas.
5. If all Pokémon in a party faint, it's considered a game over.
Currently my team is:
Trey the Monferno - Level 18
Hanna the Buizel - Level 10
Edna the Zubat - Level 12
Dwight the Budew - Level 15
Creed the Staravia - Level 14
Pam the Kricketune - Level 10
Boxed are:
Diego the Machop - Level 6
Wells the Onix - Level 8
Jan the Psyduck - Level 12
Dead Pokemon is:
[Odd name I can't remember] the Shinx - Level 10
So far so good, had my first encounter with Team Galactic at Valley Windworks, almost at Eterna Forest. I wanted to see if I could avoid Pokémon on 205, but sadly, Hanna the Buizel decided to pop up. And yes, most of those names were from The Office. They were the last people to have spoken.
EDIT:
Damn. Creed the Staravia died in Eterna Forest. I guess that's for not paying attention while fighting a Pachirisu. I also caught a Buneary. How exciting. Now I need a flying type. Great, looks like Crobat will be necessary.
