So, the way it would work it is would be location/time based. Most the time his power would be 100% nerfed, but some times, and in some locations, they would be un-nerfed. For example, recently tributes were given (non-game breaking) powers to fight a mutual enemy of the Capitol, or in a recent Disney-themed arena certain types of powers were available in certain zones (Fantasy characters had powers in fantasy land).
A lot of people don't kill (or only kill under specific circumstances, like mercy killing.) There are psychological pressures that get to some people after time (you're not really killing someone if they come back, you get money and rewards, etc) but some people resist them. The Capitol pushes, but they don't usually outright force, and it's something a lot of players play with.
With companions it'd be a case by case basis. IDK Digimon well, but to use Ask and Pikachu, if the app showed them using Pikachu well, he could come, since he is a physical being apart from Ash, if he was out of his Pokeball at the time. But he would also be power nerfed, and would stay in the capitol when Ash went in. A sentient companion would have to be discussed as a sort of...double apping situation. Pretty much we'll discuss everything to get to the best solution as possible, but we'd have to see the app to make a ruling for sure.
