FAQ

What is the Nuzlocke Challenge?

Catch only the first Pokemon on each route, release anyone who faints, nickname every catch. This generator pre-rolls those first encounters so you know your fate before you play.

How does this Nuzlocke generator work?

Pick a region, toggle options, hit Roll All Routes. Each card is one allowed catch for that area. Reroll (🔄) before you reach a route; mark faints (💀) as you go.

Is this a ROM randomizer?

No. Browser pre-roll only—it does not patch saves or ROM files. Roll here, play the game normally. For full ROM randomizers, use a tool like Universal Pokemon Randomizer.

How do I pick a random starter?

Use the starter generator to roll Grass, Fire, or Water partners, then come back here for route catches.

Which games are supported?

Kanto (Gen 1), Johto (Gen 2), Hoenn (Gen 3), and Sinnoh (Gen 4)—each uses that gen's National Dex ID range.

What does No Legendaries do?

Skips legendary IDs and re-rolls until a normal species appears—recommended for balanced challenge runs.

How do I save my route rolls?
