Pokémon Black and White Nuzlocke tracker for Unova

For a Black and White Nuzlocke, record the first encounter that counts in every route or location under the run rules. That one entry answers an important later question: is this area still available, already used or affected by a clause? A failed catch or a duplicate reroll should be represented as the result that occurred, not replaced by a cleaner-looking history. Keeping those facts in the run gives a consistent picture of what the player may still use.

The Unova map supplies route and location context for planning. It helps establish where the next encounter belongs, while the run log remains the source for the actual first encounter and its outcome. This is intentionally different from an encounter simulator or a walkthrough. Players can decide how much information they want before entering a route, then use the tracker to preserve the real playthrough, with additional house rules kept on a separate rule sheet.

When a Pokémon is no longer legal after a faint, add it to the loss record and update the active team. The remaining party and boxed Pokémon become the practical pool for the next decision. This makes a Black or White run easier to resume after a break and prevents old team lists from obscuring current constraints. MyPokePanion records that state in the browser; its logging checks follow the enabled rule settings, while battle decisions remain in the game.

Before beginning, set rules for duplicates, gift Pokémon, static encounters, shinies and any reset policy. Some groups use standard Nuzlocke clauses, while others adapt them for their own challenge. Choose the exact game and supported clause settings in the run, and keep gift, static-encounter and reset policies on a separate rule sheet from the beginning. Later edge cases can then be checked against the recorded rule instead of a memory or a rule list that belongs to another player’s Black and White run.
