Challenge StarterLocke Challenge!

The StarterLocke Challenge!
What's this?
A StarterLocke its a varition of a Nuzlocke, where the only change, it's that if you lose your starter, you lose the locke!

As the starter is your first Pokémon, you will have bonds with it, now you'll need to keep it safe for the rest of your run!

Rules:

- The player may only capture the first Pokémon he or she encounters in an area.

-If a Pokémon faints, it is considered "dead" and must be released/boxed immediately.

-All Pokémon must be nicknamed.

-If your starter dies/faints, you automatically lose the Locke.

-You cannot take your starter out of your party.

-You must play on Set Mode, to make the game a little bit harder. (Only rule that is optional)

Clauses(Optional):

-Species Clause: If you find a Pidgey in the first route, and find another one in the last route, you can choose to re-encounter it, or catch it.

-Heal Clause: To make the game harder, you can choose a limited number of healing items you can use in a battle, to prevent boring heal spam.

-Shiny Clause: If you find a Shiny, you can catch it.

-Randomizer Clause: If you're playing on a emulator, try to randomize the rom.

I think it's a really neat variation of the nuzlocke challenge overall, but I'm kind of suspicious about the fifth rule... The "you can't take it out of your party" part is definitely fine (and necessary) but the "you can't ignore it" part don't really live up to the set in stone rules nuzlockes tend to have. I think it should be redefined, or just scrapped, it is pretty self explanatory.
 
This really is exactly the same as a Nuzlocke with a little added rule about the starter thrown in. Quite frankly, I don't believe that this warrants a completely separate challenge from a Nuzlocke. All of your rules are the same except for the starter business.

At best, this should be a clause available to the Nuzlocke challenge as an added difficulty.

StarterLocke Clause: The starter Pokemon must remain in the party at all times. If the starter dies, the run is ended and the player must start over. To prevent ignoring of the starter, the starter must always have one of the top 3 highest levels on the player's team.
