Wedlocke Rules:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZ2YwKAYHyYFirst check-in on my0 wedlocke as I make my way through Soul Silver. Beware of spoilers for the show LOST but not really cause the nuzlocke creates relationships that never happened but are amusing to me. All the names are picked from a randomizer where I listed all the character names.
Started with Richard the Totodile which I hope is a good sign since that would imply he is possibly immortal. Just like in the Heartgold run, I had to bypass lots of trainers to not over level myself before Faulkner or Bugsy. I went to route 32 and was praying for a not-wooper since I'm sure that would have guaranteed getting wiped in sprout tower. Picked up a Mareep there and I guess Richard got yellow fever cause I rolled Sun. She is not very effective against grass, but at least she wouldn't die to a vine whip. The type combo of Water/Electric should perform well. So I got through Sprout Tower/Faulkner/Bugsy basically with just those 2 since Illana died on the road.
I went to go get headbutt after Bugsy and did the rival battle. It wasn't difficult but holy shit that Bayleef is a tank. I hit it with growls so its razor leaf didn't threaten me, not even Richard. But between its natural bulk,Reflect, and Synthesis; I thought the fight was going to go into struggle territory. But some crits helped me out and now I could use headbutt and build a team.
Danielle/Hoot-Hoot married Hurley/Aipom. A couple of lunatics in love: what could go wrong? Interesting type pairing since Hurley will only be weak to fighting and Danielle could protect him from that. maybe
Meanwhile, Alexandra (Danielle's daughter) was transformed into a Slowpoke after being kidnapped. She appears to have also fallen for Charlie the Hoppip, who in typical rock-star fashion,is with the nearest teenage girl. Charlie being useless right now while also knowing "Splash" is funny shit. Decent type pairing if Charlie lives long enough to learn anything.
