About Pokemon Blood and Tears
Pokémon Blood and Tears makes every faint matter: a fainted Pokémon dies, and each route permits only its first encounter to be caught. derrekbertrand's GBC demo of Red also allows nicknames for everything. Those Nuzlocke-style rules make team building and route encounters central to the challenge. Built on the Red codebase and engine, the demo keeps the run focused on permanent losses, limited captures, and named companions.
