How do you play Pokemon games to make them harder/more interesting for yourself? For me
>Catch and start using a full team of 6 Pokemon at least before the 3rd gym, to keep my levels as low as possible by having EXP split up the most
>Never grind
>Not use EXP share in Gen 6.

Don't grind, no items in battle, battle style to set, exp share off. Avoid using overpowered TMs more than once.
level up moves and hms only
I just try to use Pokémon that I've never used before.
>standard nuzlocke rules
>set battle style
>no healing items in battle
That's about all I've done. I've done mono or dual type runs on a few games as well, but I've never tried for a real "hard mode" run.

You have to use 6 Pokemon for every gym battle and you have to store each team after each gym
Shitmons or less-used mons.
I remember my 2nd Emerald run - my E4 team was something like this:
>Plusle
>Castform
>Torkoal
>Aggron
>Flygon
>Armaldo
I don't remember it 100% but I think that was it
I have never used repel ever. Not a rule I set for myself, just got used to being mobbed by geodudes and zubats... That helps a lot with the levelling up part so I barely have to grind at all
LOST sucks

>No items
>No grinding
>No EXP Share at all
>Monotype only
>After first gym is done, switch all the mons for a team of level 5s
>Faint=Death
>Can't catch any more pokemon
>All pokemon need to be around the same level to be usable in battle
>No switching battle style
It was the only way to play gen 6 properly.

I do my catch them all rules.
>All non-evolvable pokemon boxed
>Last evos get boxed
It's actually been really fun and keeps me underleveled.

I also forgot
>No pressing B during evolution
>Have to evolve a stone pokemon if you have or have access to a evo stone
I'm Nuzlocking Volt White at the moment. Set obviously, no healing during battle. Not gonna lie, I've had some near heart attacks.

N run, catch first thing you see per route. Only new routes. Release after or soon after gyms
I play a Rom hack on set style without items. Nuzlockes are for casuals.
