Pokemon: Wonderlocke Challenge
Table of Contents:
I. Introduction
II. Rules
III. Friday Rule
IV. Polls & Contests
V. Q&A
VI. Other
With the recent release of Pokemon X and Y (well not super recent but ugh I'm slow okay?) I have decided to embark on a journey, to create the most frustrating, glorified mess of a nuzlocke for myself.

Don't know what a Nuzlocke is? Well you can look up the original comic I suppose, but put simply it's a play-through of a Pokemon game with self-set rules and restrictions to make the game harder than it would be normally.

So I suppose the question arises, "Shao, what then is a 'Wonderlocke'?"

A Wonderlocke is a sort of spin-off I came up with, because I have grown to enjoy using the new Wonder Trade system that Game Freak implemented into the PSS. For those of you without the game or who don't know what that is, it allows you to connect with trainers all over the world via wifi and trade pokemon with them at random. You could put a caterpie up for trade and get a mewtwo, or a charizard and get a magikarp, anything can happen with wonder trades.

It is with this that I have decided to test the kindness of the pokemon community and challenge myself as well, to use the wonder trade system to finish a run-through of pokemon X from greenhorn to champion.

~~~

As I am cheap and do not want to purchase a 3DS screenshot capture device, I will be taking very bad photos with my iphone and uploading them, posting with words of awesomeness detailing what happens each day I play. This is a normal Nuzlocke format I'm told, so I guess I'll roll with it. I won't be playing every day, but when I do play I'll have a few pictures, along with a quick rundown of who I met in the "episode", items and pokemon I received, and how long I was able to play.

I'll be posting the rules below, but I won't start the Wonderlocke until I'm able to clear off my old X file, since I do actually like some of the pokemon on there. Feel free to make suggestions, and as always, may the odds be ever in your favor.

Wonderlocke
Rules V1

General
Rules:

1.      Pokemon who faint are considered
dead and must be boxed until the Elite Four.

*This is to ensure the resulting
team isn’t completely ineffective against the Elite Four. 

a. If an entire party
faints they can be revived and reused.

b. Starter pokémon are exempt from this rule and are
considered “immortal”.

2.      Pokemon that caught are
considered “junk” pokémon and must be wonder traded or boxed.

a. Since this is a wonderlocke, and
these pokémon were caught in-game, they cannot be used for the challenge. This does
not apply to pokémon which are gifted or traded by NPCs.

Wonder
Trade Rules:

1.      Only pokémon received from wonder
trades, NPCs, or RL trades can be used.

                                                             
i.     
Other
pokémon can be captured, but they will be considered junk pokémon and must be
boxed immediately.

2.      Only 6 wonder trades allowed per
day.

a. A trade will not count if:

                                                                               
i.           
The
pokémon received is already owned.

                                                                             
ii.           
The
pokémon is too far above the team’s level required for the main story.

                                                                           
iii.           
The
pokémon is shiny.

                                                                           
iv.           
The
pokémon has an inappropriate nickname. Unlikely, but it should be noted.

3.      At least 1 pokémon received
through wonder trades must be added to the team daily.

a. The pokémon added must be lower
leveled than the highest level pokémon currently on the team.

b.The pokémon does not have to have been received on
the day it is being added to the team.

Gameplay
Rules/Restrictions:

1.      Battle Style must be SET.

2.      Legendaries must be boxed.

3.      No pokémon bred in-game may be
used.

Here is where I'll eventually place updates, news, and links to the newest wonderful Wonderlocke post.

I'll also be adding in my special Friday Rule down here, which is a rule that can transcend any other rule, and will only be active for one Friday. On any non-Friday all normal rules will apply. If people end up becoming regulars for the Wonderlocke I may open a poll as to which Friday Rule should come into play.

@Lutty: You know it! :P

@White: Ooh thank you, I look forward to trying this out~ I started the game earlier this night, but it'll take a while to upload the pictures and put witty things on them xD if I figure out how I can draw people I'll make it a little screen-shot comic. (slim chance though because school ;0;)

WELL just for you guys I decided I'd TRY to do a video thing for the Wonderlocke...
It'll be up once I figure out how to upload from the Iphone, if anyone knows how please help meee ;3;

 o/////o please excuse my voice -hides- So yes, I will be holding a poll for which starter I uh, start with. The poll count will be in the fourth post I believe and will be up until I wake up tomorrow. In the case that no one votes (which is very likely) I will choose at random from a number generator thing.

Happy Wonderlocking everyone, and Happy 1st Birthday Leopold!

Edit: Here we are!
Episode 1: Everything Has to Start Somewhere.

Episode 2 is out for those of you who are interested! It's a full 20 minutes long... I guess I lost track of time. Most of it is captures and trades though. Enjoy!

My friend got a shiny Charmander in a Wondertrade. Hope you get something really awesome! People seem to be sending out Weedles, Metapods and Kakunas with really inappropriate names... be careful about those D:
