cause people get bored with the same old game. with a nuzlocke, not only do you not have a say in which pokemon you catch or use, but you may end up with a team with a huge type disadvantage, like a team full of normal types. it adds challenge to a game that, for someone like me who plays and replays regularly, are beginning to get dull.
It's not a game mode that's actually in the game. If you want to do a nuzlocke run in red, silver, etc. you just do it. Check out this link for more information. www.nuzlocke.com/challenge.php
Nuzlocke challenges are like hard mode for Pokemon. You're only allowed to catch the first Pokemon you encounter on each route. If you accidentally KO it, you don't get another chance. Any Pokemon that faints is released into the wild. Nicknaming is optional, but encouraged to increase emotional bonds. Blacking out is Game Over, even if you have Pokemon in your PC.
and now comes the part where you pathetically attempt to dig yourself out of your own hole
if you saw that much pokemon porn, you have had to look it up

There is a pokemon gameplay challenge that people do called the nuzlocke challenge started from this www.nuzlocke.com/ in which the person playing it has to always nickname their pokemon that they catch, they are only allowed to catch the first pokemon they encounter on each route (defeating it means you don't catch anything on that route) and if one of your pokemon faint, they are classified as dead, and you must release them.
It is rather fun to try, but I always grow way too attached to my pokemon
I tried it on fire red and got up to koga, and then everyone died from poison. Afterwards I tried Ruby and gave up after the sixth gym (I grinded way too much, and an emulator can easily speed up the process)
well once they faint, then they are gone. Reloading ruins the experience of it all, and the others in my box were really weak (I had 4 or 5 in my boxes by that point, all were weak as anything)
