when you do lose a battle, you “black out” and start over in a pokecenter and you redo the battle until you win
when you black out it’s because you were in a doomed splinter off the main timeline and youre being taken back to your Victory Timeline
u lose u die
Then why do you also lose money?
the time-space grim reaper that drags your soul back to the Alpha Timeline jacks ur wallet while your consciousness transfers across the aetherial plane
Actually you white out and then it says you scurry back to the pokemon center so it’s saying all the protagonists are super anxiety ridden (becausse whiting out is something you do in a panic attack) and because of the rules of the pokemon world you have to give half of your cash on hand to the winner. So you panic, nearly pass out, hand over half your wallet to whoever just kicked your ass, and slink back to the pokemon center to recover from your panic attack while your fainted pokemon are restored to full health.
Yes because they were insisting that splintered timelines in which everyone dies as canon.
yeah canon pokemon doesn’t function on nuzlocke rules.
-_-
They were clearly joking. You would think that was obvious by them saying the grim reaper robs your ass when you lose
