Pokemon X and Y Wonderlocke!!!

[Dovahgatr]

Hey everyone! I just came up with a cool new version of the nuzlocke challenge! Its called Wonderlocke! Its requires X/Y version since no other game has Wonder Trade, so that part stinks... but on the bright side, it'll be a lot of fun
Rules
1. You must catch the first Pokémon you find in a new route. If you have it or a family member of its species, you CANNOT catch it. Failure to catch it results a loss in a new partner!
2. The newly caught Pokémon MUST be WONDER TRADED (no in-game trades allowed). If you happen to get the same Pokémon as the one you traded, you may keep it (Hard-Mode players must trade again). If the Pokémon is one you've already captured (whether it be the same exact Pokémon, or its family member), you must trade again.
3. All given Pokémon (like the starters, Lapras, and Torchic (for those during the event)) cannot be traded and are soul-bound.
4. (Like any other Nuzlocke challenge), when a Pokémon faints, you MUST release it. (EXCEPTION: You may put it in a "Dead" box to be able to go back any look at your previous members for a memorial service.)
Extras for HARD-MODE
Cannot keep any of the same species that have been caught.
All given Pokémon must be traded.
No mega-evolutions.
All held items on the Pokémon traded to you must be tossed.

Please give any feedback on how you liked this (like how you thought about this, your champions and survivors, your dead partners)! I will be playing this too on my other version! Please, give Bulbapedia's ThatOnePokemonTrainer/YouTube's gkh281 the credit of Wonderlocke, all the original idea of the nuzlocke challenge goes to the original creator of the challenge!
Now go out there and become a conquer of this challenge!

I actually like this idea quite a bit, could be interesting. Though I'm afraid of how I could end up trading for a very long time trying to get rid of duplicate Furfurous.

Yeah, that might be true! but it usually takes me like 5 trys to get something new btw, testing it right now! Excited really..... hope my partners don't die on me.....

This is a pretty cool idea. I'd try it out if I had another X or Y. Good luck!

This is a great twist on the old Nuzlocke challenge.

Since nicknames are typically part of Nuzlocking, you could probably require that you must receive a nicknamed Pokemon from the Wonder Trade. No nickname = keep trading.

 

[Dovahgatr]

That just makes it very unlikely. Most people catch and then just trade off the Wonder Trade without nicknaming on normal games. This makes nicknaming hard to do, and therefore is not required. It's one thing that makes it new though, but in a bit of an unfun way :l But nicknames where to just get closer to your pokemon and you can still call them anything you want without making their IGN different! But if you want to do that, its fine. Just don't come here saying its to hard to find something when you barely find any

I like this idea a lot. It's a creative way of utilizing a new function in the Pokemon games to put a twist on an old fad. I probably won't try it, since when I finish a game, I usually don't reset. I think that my cousin could be interested, though.

i was thinking something like this but it looks like you beat me too it good luck

I am doing with a little different rules. You capure 5 pokemon then you wonder trade them of with your starter and I have to wonder trade all the pokemon the game guves me ( exept for shinies or legendaries) All other rules still are in play.

my teams is
honege lvl 13
gible lvl 10
riluo lvl 28
anorth lvl 21
bagon lvl 15
ivysore lvl 17
and pipuble lvl 18
I have beat the first gym so far.
(My spelling is bad)

With this variant I imagine there could be a new rule about permadeath: If a Pokemon dies, instead of just releasing/boxing it you could also Wonder Trade it off -- immediate replacement!
