The Nuzlocke Challenge is a different way to play the popular game series Pokemon to increase the difficulty of the playthrough. While undertaking this challenge, the player must abide by a few mandatory rules and any custom rules they place onto themselves. I, and most players, will keep these rules in a txt file or written down on paper. I decided to create a web application that keeps track of these rules. Although, I added more functionality to further the use of the website. These features include tracking the Pokemon that you catch, receive, miss, "die," or store. A possible goal set at the beginning of development was to compile this data and create a summary for each of the last 10 playthroughs. This goal was successfully achieved and added as a feature. User accounts to track this data are an available feature, too.
