Hardcore mode is a new way to play video games! As with my previous Pokémon playthrough, I will be under a set of rules (or challenges) leading up to each gym battle. When I defeat a gym leader, the rules change! This means there will be a bunch of difficulty spikes throughout the playthrough, but it also means that I will be using Pokemon and employing strategies that I wouldn't normally use and will make the game a lot more interesting! Let's do it.
Until I defeat Falkner, I must follow these rules:
1. I can only have 2 Pokemon in my party at one time.
2. I cannot use any healing items. This refers to any potions or status items (e.g. antidotes) but does not include held items (e.g. oran berries). I am also permitted to use healing moves (such as Recover).
Enjoy!

Until I defeat Bugsy, I must follow these rules:
1. I cannot heal my Pokemon at any Pokemon Centers. This means I will be relying purely on healing items.
2. I can only catch the first Pokemon in each area.
Enjoy!

Until I defeat Clair, I am under the following rules:
1. I can only have Flying, Psychic, Ghost and Bug Pokemon in my party. Each of these Pokemon is assigned a role that comes with specific rules.
2. I am not allowed to deposit or withdraw Pokemon. I must stick with my current party until I defeat Clair. The only exceptions to this rule are the following: First, if my Gyarados dies, I MUST deposit it, but I cannot withdraw any Pokemon to replace it. Second, if I break a specific Pokemon's rule, that Pokemon is to be boxed immediately and I cannot withdraw a Pokemon to replace it.
3. If my Gyarados dies, I cannot use any healing items (beside berries) and I can only use Pokemon Centers in towns where I have defeated the gym leader. This means Centers on Routes are off-limits.
4. My Noctowl cannot be switched into battle against a damaged opponent and can't switch out. I am not allowed to use healing items on it, however if it knocks out a Pokemon, I am allowed to heal it once.
5. My Ariados can appear a total of 3 times per battle, and if it's attack misses, it is not allowed to switch out without defeating an opponent. I am forbidden from using healing items on it.
6. My Haunter is not allowed to use damaging attacks.
7. My Girafarig is only allowed to deal special damage.
8. My Mantine is only allowed to deal physical damage.
Enjoy!
