Soul Link

A popular collab type for Identity Lost members.

About
They play a version of Pokemon where:


 * 1) All the Pokemon are randomized.
 * 2) They can only catch the first Pokemon in each route, and if their Pokemon faints it "dies".
 * 3) The Pokemon caught in each route are linked together with a Soul Link. It's like a 5-way Destiny Bond.
 * 4) *If one of them lose their Route 1 Pokemon, everyone's Route 1 Pokemon dies as well.

Rules

 * Type Repeat Rule: When encountering wild Pokemon in a route, they can reroll for an encounter if the Pokemon:
 * is a repeat of one they've already caught.
 * has the same type as a Pokemon already in their team (this is to avoid accidentally building a team of only water Pokemon, for example). Rerolling is optional and they will still only be catching one wild Pokemon per route.
 * The Shiny Rule: If one of them encounters a shiny, they can catch it even if it appears in a route they've already caught Pokemon on. If one of them successfully catches a shiny, the rest of them will go back to a previous route and catch a new Pokemon to soul bind to the new shiny.
 * Nickname Rule: They have to nickname their Pokemon in order to "develop a stronger connection" to it.
 * Route Soul Link: If one person fails to catch a Pokemon in a route, everyone is unable to catch one for that route (and if they already caught one, they need to put it in the box).
