I ll have to restart this because my computer crashed a while ago and I lost everything I had on it :( So I ll restart this later today - this time on Pearl and I will randomize it as I did before because I want to have a bit more of a challenge since I have no idea on what can pop out of grass that way :)

Would, uh, it be possible to do a slight alternate of this challenge with male/male, female/female, ungendered/(fe)male and ungendered/ungendered pairings along with male/female and still be included in this?
In any case, I may join in this if it's not too late, but I'll have to wait till I get home to see what game I can play it on (at school atm)

You can't have 2 males in a couple, or 2 females in a couple, it's not that I am against same gender couples It defeats the point of the challenge and Genderless pokemon cannot enter because of the reasoning that they have no gender therefore cannot be paired.

It wouldn't defeat the point of the challenge if you ONLY used same-gender couples. You'll have incompatibility either way. Of course I guess the question was about pairing with every single possible combination, including with pokemon that no one can normally use, so I guess that doesn't help XP

If Genderless pairs were allowed, they'd either be wildcards (which is possibly too easy?) or Genderless/Genderless only which I could imagine being QUITE difficult to pull off under Nuzlocke rules. Plus there's the aspect where they're normally banned, which could lead to certain advantages if you allow them (such as being able to catch a pokemon in New Mauville in Ruby).

Hv to ask, to be politically correct why only male and female pokemon can pair :p

I understand what you're trying to say but it still becomes pointless having same gender couples, as I mentioned before it then just becomes a Nuzlocke with some extra rules and not a wedlocke, I have nothing against same gender couples it is just the rules of the challenge, and genderless pokemon are not allowed because of obvious reasons, Maybe I might add some wild card pokemon that are genderless in the future but for now the rules will stay as they are.

Because other wise it defeats the point of being a wedlocke, instead it becomes a nuzlocke with a few extra rules.


Can I just add if you do not plan on actually taking part in the challenge, can you refrain from posting in here. If you have any questions regarding the challenge send me a PM or VM and I'll be happy to reply.

Two things regarding the OP:
1. You can't really do a Wedlocke in RBYG (read: Gen I) because Pokémon don't have genders there.
2. Why do Black and White require you to beat Alder for completion? Most people who do Nuzlockes in BW declare it complete after beating Ghetsis, I mean there are probably a few who do Alder but not many in comparison.

Thanks!

I've seen a few challenges which require you to beat alder, If you feel that N and Ghetsis are enough of a challenge then by all means end the challenge there.

And I have noticed RBYG don't run genders so I will remove them. People will have to use LG and FR.

Just for posterity, you said in DMs that you'd like hard proof that that was me. As I mentioned there, I have my link to my profile on Marriland listed below. But nevertheless, here was my final team:


And here were the deaths I had:


Hope this is sufficient enough! Thanks.

I had to restart the challenge D: I had some computer issues and I lost everything I had on it x.x

Anyways I did start the game today and I did get a little bit done. I did all the beginning stuff and named myself Lara and my rival Barry. I got the starters. I don't remember which were the other 2 starters but I remember that I chose Octillery because it would be useful for first gym. Named Octillery Rennia . Bought some pokeballs - May the catching party begin!

First encounter on Route 201 was Bidoof - but luckily it was female so I didn't catch it. First eligable encounter was *drum rolls* lvl 2 charmeleon ~ I caught him and named him Charlie. He is now married to Rennia.

Went to the route next to the lake and first encounter there was Starly - I was really really happy because I love Staraptor- I caught her and named her Starlia.

Spoke to my mom and I went on to Route 202 where Lucas showed me how to catch a pokemon (Because I really didn't know how to do it and I didn't get Starly and Charmeleon x.x)

First male on route 202 was ~ Tyrogue. I caught him and named him Lil' Champ Lil' Champ and Starlia are now married.

I came to Jubilife city and it's time to catch our last pair. First encounter on route 204 was Dratini - I cought her and named her Cassie. First male encounter in the cave ahead was Shuckle but I accidentally killed him. So I went fishing left from the Jubilife and first pokemon I met was female Skuntank :( I wish I could have her though she would be awesome D: First male was Rapidash. I caught him and named him Thowra. Thowra and Cassie are now married.

I did a little bit of grinding so I got everybody up to level 10, got the Pokech and I battled my rival. I used Thowra and Cassie - Cassie took down his starly fairly easily and Rapidash took care of his Piplup (It's odd because I swear that professor said that we chose Piplup and Turtwig - You'd think that I chose "Piplup" and he chose turtwig - but apparently not lol.

Anyways here is current team - Will go on tomorrow.
