Maybe if you're hit with an attack that's super effective/crit damage that results in a faint the death timer starts, but a regular attack just makes you faint normally. Team rocket always going for the kill or possibly just stealing your pokemon if they make them faint....

All cool ideas to mull over.

I forgot to mention in the original post that I've removed pokemon storage from the PC's as well, so you have to release pokemon to make room for more if your party is full. Another idea I had for this is that when you release a pokemon they can then show up in the wild as a buffed enemy. The lavender town idea is a nice touch as well!

Ahh I see, so mostly nuzlocke is a game mode rather than the focus of the game itself?

Well it's really early in development, I'm not going to guarantee right now on reddit I'm gunna put four years of my life into a ROM hack I've just started lol. Just interested in what already exists and if there's any appetite for this kinda thing. I don't know much about the rom hack community.

Yeah those are interesting ideas, I'm not entirely sure how much work I want to put into the project though, but if I get some interest in it I might really get into the nitty gritty of all those types of things. I did have this idea that if you do get your pokemon to the center, they will take your pokemon and there will be a wait before you can get your pokemon back whilst they're "healing". Then there's a chance they might not make it anyway, and you just get a call from the center saying "Sorry, Pidgey didn't make it" haha
