Nuzlocke
A Nuzlocke challenge (or simply Nuzlocke) is a set of self-imposed rules you can add to the game of Pokemon for a different challenge. The rules are not a function of the game but are rather created by the player and as such are subject to variation.
The core rules are:
1: You can only catch the first Pokemon you encounter per area.
2: If a Pokemon faints you pretend it's dead and must release it or permanently box it.
Other near-universally used rules include:
3: You have to name all your Pokemon to get more attached to them.
4: You cannot voluntarily reset and reload the game if something goes wrong, as being able to do so would render all of the other rules pointless.
There are a myriad of other rules you can add to the Nuzlocke to adjust it, but as long as the two core rules (and maybe third) are in effect it's still a Nuzlocke.

On my first Sapphire Nuzlocke I named my Mudkip "Hilton" and she didn't even get to fully evolve before she died.
On several occasions I have encountered Wobbuffet in a Nuzlocke. That shithead has ruined so many runs.

The thing that happens when you kill the Wall of Flesh in various Pokémon games.
It's a Terraria joke. Laugh.
Because iterations of Nuzlocke challenges are literally hardmode.

Nuzlocke Challenge
An optional and more difficult way to play a pokemon game.
1. Catch the first Pokemon you encounter in each route/cave/whatever and nothing else. If you fail to catch it, too bad, continue onwards.
2. If your Pokemon faints, consider it dead and release it.
Additional/Optional rules include:
3. No use of healing items. You may only heal at pokemon centers.
4. If a pokemon that knows an HM move faints you may not use the HM. If no other pokemon you have can learn the HM you automatically lose and must start the game over.
5. Make a comic about anything significant that happens. You may be creative and turn it into a more original story.
6. Nickname everything you catch.
Grinding is allowed and any additional Pokemon that don't fit in the party may be stored in boxes. If all your Pokemon faint it's game over.
