History LetsPlay / Marriland

* [[spoiler: [[TheBlackDudeDiesFirst The Shiny One Dies First]]: Polarity was the first shiny Marriland EVER caught on-camera. Naturally, it ends up being the next one to die.]]

[[http://www.marriland.com A guy that does Pokémon related walkthroughs and owns a website named after himself]]. In 2007, he started his Pokemon Diamond {{walkthrough}}. He left Website/{{Youtube}} in 2010 because of the flagging that many Youtubers were going through at the time. However, in May 2012, he returned, all of his older videos remastered and with new content. He originally was happy to work with his [[Creator/EdisonTCrux brother]], but personal issues have since broken apart this fairly enjoyable collaborative pairing.

* '''Pokemon Diamond Adventure''' - The one that started it all and really got Devin his name.
* '''Pokemon Platinum Adventure''' - This was meant to be a quick playthrough of the game mostly to show the viewers what was new compared to Diamond and Pearl, hence why he shortened nearly all Trainer battles except big ones like Gym Leaders, Cyrus and the Elite Four + Champion. He did a little bit of the post-game, including doing the whole Stark Mountain subquest and catching Heatran.
* '''Pokemon Yellow Adventure''' - Originally meant to be an April Fools joke after finishing his Platinum adventure, but people loved it, so he continued. This is, to date, his only Let's Play where he doesn't nickname a Pokemon he uses on his main team, Pikachu in this case (unless you count Zekrom being used against N in White, though that was temporary), due to wanting to keep it like the anime on that note.
* '''Pokemon Soul Silver Adventure''' - While originally meant to be a guided playthrough of the game that followed the same "shorten all non-important battles" pattern as in Platinum, it wasn't a big hit and didn't get many views, notably the last uploaded episode (before the Ice Path). It's been discontinued, though he has spoken of doing one final video as a summary of the following events.
* '''Pokemon White Adventure''' - Another guided playthrough, that mostly helped through the main storyline. The final recorded episode had him abandoning the team he used there to send over four of his favorite bros in previous playthroughs [[note]]Aquilla the Staraptor and Kershocker the Azelf, both from Platinum, and Slick the Serperior and Pantzer the Scrafty, both from Black[[/note]] and ended on a cliffhanger. Similar to Soul Silver, it has been discontinued but he plans to do a final video for a summary of what came after.
* '''Pokemon Conquest Adventure'''
* '''Pokemon Black 2 Adventure Let's Play Thingy''' - He did this when his Japanese copies of the game came in, while he played the game completely blind and did live commentary (basically forcing him to not cut anything out or speed anything up) for the sake of mainly a coverage. He beat the game extremely quickly, but that was because immediately after that he had to begin his daunting walkthrough, which required him to cut back on all videos for a month, except for two important ones and two fun ones that he recorded in his Japanese White 2 version. When he did resume it, he did do Black Kyurem and a little bit of Southern Unova, but stopped at the P2 Laboratory. The series was basically cancelled there, due to him not resuming before the English release.
* '''Pokemon White 2 Adventure''' - A guided video series of the game. He made videos of every individual section for the sake of convenience, and for his walkthrough. This adventure is overall very in-depth. It was also the first series of his to use a new recording setup with a modded DS that records in HD and allows for the sidebars, as opposed to post-commentary (another thing that led him to discontinue Soul Silver and White). Since X and Y have been released, it is unknown if he will ever do any of the remaining three things he has left (the Pokemon World Tournament, the Nature Preserve and the Therian Formes).
* '''Pokemon Emerald Nuzlocke''' - Having many of his fans wanting him to do a Gen III game like Emerald, and a Nuzlocke, he decided to combine them both, feeling this was the only way he could be compelled to do Gen III. Finished as of December 24th, 2012 and defeated Steven on May 10, 2014.
* '''Pokemon [=HeartGold Wedlocke=]''' - After the popularity of his Emerald Nuzlocke, he uploaded his own variant on the SelfImposedChallenge. After beating the game as of February 10th, 2013, and completed Kanto as of April 9, he defeated Red on September 28.
* '''Pokemon Platinum Nuzlocke, Set Mode + Item Restrictions''' - Following the many "item whoring" complaints he received in Emerald and Heart Gold, and given how a few people were taking their Nuzlockes up by putting the battle style on Set (leaves them unable to switch) and restricting items, he decided he was up next. Though he has it up as a thread on the forums but has mentioned that it will be uploaded to Website/YouTube eventually. Meant to basically be a little side adventure to play alongside the HG Wedlocke. Can be found [[http://www.marriland.com/forums/pokemon/pokemon-challenges/436375-marrilands-platinum-nuzlocke-set-mode-item here]]. He later stated he would stop posting updates to the forum on account of the FanDumb constantly perstering him to update, despite him being busy with Heartgold grinding and other things. He has stated it will be uploaded to Youtube once the Heartgold Wedlocke concludes. Finished as of October 6, 2013.
* '''Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity Adventure''' - A guided playthrough of the new Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game. As with White 2, it is unknown whether he will show any more footage.
* '''Pokemon X Adventure''' - A blind playthrough of Pokémon X, his first one of X/Y that was also a guide through the game. Similar to White 2, he seperated every individual area by each video. He completed the main game on October 18, 2013.
* '''Pokemon Black Wedlocke''': Redacting his previous decision to quit Nuzlockes, Marriland kicked off a new Wedlocke challenge on February 22, 2014 to roaring fanfare. Concluded on April 20, 2014.
* '''Pokemon Black 2 Wedlocke''': At the same time he announced the Black Wedlocke, he confirmed he would continue with the sequel when he finished. The rules are the same as the Black Wedlocke, except he's playing on Challenge Mode and using Memory Link. Started on 16th of May 2014 and finished on September 7, 2014.
* '''Pokémon Y [=WonderWedlocke Wednesday=]''': A [=WonderWedlocke=] done on his [=TwitchTV=] stream that he has been doing on another copy of Y that he has. Started in April 2014 and done almost every Wednesday after, this challenge combined the Wonderlocke, the Wedlocke and the challenging item+level restrictions that the Platinum Nuzlocke had for a very intense playthrough. He has uploaded every episode to Website/YouTube following their streamings. Data can be found [[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvIFlo--DkY0dC1ZYndXT0d4aDRhbEtDelBlV3dfY2c#gid=0 here]]. Finished on November 12, 2014, also the first -Locke series of his that has ended in failure.
* '''Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Adventure''': Here, this was a guided playthrough of Pokémon Alpha Sapphire in the same format as White 2 and X in that it separates every individual area by their own video. However, unlike those two, this one he was doing at a much slower pace like some of his previous walkthrough series. It was eventually cancelled due to the huge amount of work he needed to put into it combined with the extremely negative comments he was getting.
* '''Pokemon Omega Ruby Wedlocke''': A new Wedlocke series started out of nowhere to replace the Sapphire Walkthrough, which runs the same deal as the Black (2) Wedlocke, minus the explicit level limit.
* '''[=PokéPark=] 2: Wonders Beyond''': A blind playthrough of ''[=PokéPark=] 2: Wonders Beyond'', a Wii game he had acquired a few years ago but had never played, so he gave it a go despite not knowing anything about it.
* '''Pokémon X Wedlocke''': Much like the Yellow adventure, this was initially intended as an April Fools joke on April 1, 2016, but it too was met with good reception so he has decided to carry through with it despite his initial decision.
* '''Pokémon Moon Adventure''': A blind playthrough of Pokémon Moon. He didn't look anything up with regards to spoilers, new Pokemon, or the Alolan forms of existing Pokemon. He said multiple times in the playthrough that he wouldn't be looking anything up to prevent spoilers, as this was his first time playing through the game and he wanted his reactions to be genuine.
* '''Pokémon Sun Nuzlocke''': Started on December 25th, 2016 and ended on May 7th, 2017.
* '''Pokémon Fire Red Wedlocke''': Started on February 14th, 2018 and ended on April 8th, 2018.

* '''Walking Wonderlocke Y: "Get Fit or Die!"''' - His first forum exclusive Nuzlocke he has documented, this play through is a "Wonder Trade Nuzlocke" where he uses Pokémon obtained through Wonder Trade. But as a twist, he has to play through the game ''while exercising''! May or may not have been discontinued, though, as nothing has been heard of it since early 2014.

** A similar situation happens with the final battle against Cynthia in Platinum. [[spoiler: He wins, but ends up losing 4 of his Pokemon, including his starter Firebutt, in the process. However, Ninjarisu, the Pokémon he claimed to develop a connection with the best, survived.]]

** The X Wedlocke has a happier variation of this: [[spoiler:Sage the Greninja is the first starter in any of his series - Alabama the Blastoise from his Leaf Green Sleeplocke notwithstanding - that he was able to take to the end, AND survive the Pokemon League.]]

* CensoredForComedy: He makes a running gag of adding in a ClusterBleepBomb in editing every time a Pokemon uses the move "Curse", and admits he's never saying anything during those bleeps.

** In the X Wedlocke, Allspice the Espeon vs Korrina. He OHKO's all 3 of her Pokemon.

** The Black Wedlocke has [[spoiler: his starter and its partner are killed in only part 3, and he then proceeds to lose ''all'' his females before Lenora (meaning his remaining males have to fight alone), and doesn't even get a Fighting type as his Pinwheel Forest encounter. He manages to get through her, but Warbler dies, leaving him with only ''two'' Pokemon, and very few opportunities for new encounters until after the third Gym. While he does put in a successful attempt at rebuilding the team afterward, he has another massacre against Cheren and then a double battle on Route 5, knocking him below a full party again.]] Things ''do'' start to get better from there though.

** [[spoiler:He initially chooses ''not'' to have Tusks return to the Pokemon world in ''Gates to Infinity'', despite all Broham went through to get him back... then reveals it was all a fake out and "rewinds" back to the decision.]]

** In his ''Pokémon White 2 Adventure'', he considered the phrase "shut your mouth" to be a bit much for a Pokemon game (although "shut up" would've been fine). He even went into a small lecture about it. When the phrase came up again several episodes later, he muttered about needing to talk about manners.

** Fire Red Wedlocke: For the first time, it's less a trainer, but one of their Pokemon. [[spoiler: Hue (the rival)'s Charizard is responsible for 4 deaths, and Olive and Sepia probably wouldn't have died to Koga if Cream was alive, so he's indirectly responsible for their deaths too.]]

** [[spoiler: The Emerald Nuzlocke, Heartgold Wedlocke, Platinum Nuzlocke ''and'' Sun Nuzlocke's final (technically) episodes all end with the death of the Pokemon considered TheHero [[note]]although for Platinum, YMMV as to whether Firebutt or Ninjarisu is considered that[[/note]].]]

** [[spoiler: In all of his Nuzlocke and Wedlocke video series, every single trainer who has killed his starter also claimed at least one other Pokemon with it.]]

* HopeSpot: In Part 29 of Platinum, he encounters a Double Team with a high-leveled Gyarados and Raichu, but manages to defeat them without a major disaster, dispite a Double Team killing one member of his team back in Heartgold. [[spoiler: The ''next'' trainer, however, claims one of his Pokemon on the very first move.]]

* IncrediblyLamePun : Part 11 of Marriland's Pokemon Moon Adventure is basically "Lame Hair-Related Puns: The Episode".

--> "There's a nice assortment of Ice-type Pokemon here. And there's also Delibird!"

* ProperlyParanoid: In the Q&A segment in Part 20 of the Emerald Nuzlocke, when asked "when do you think another of your Pokemon will die", he answers against either Flannery or Norman, saying he's "a little nervous" about Flannery in particular. [[spoiler: Not only did he turn out to be right on ''both'' counts, but the death against Flannery was every bit as bad as he could have feared.]]

* ReallyDeadMontage: He does this in his Nuzlockes when his Pokemon faint, giving them a final sendoff before releasing them.
** [[spoiler: This is used to particularly moving effect in [[WhamEpisode Episode 31 of the HG Wedlocke]], where the four Pokemon who died in the near-disaster that was Marriland's battle with the Kimono Girls are given a full-out funeral montage at the end of the episode, proper song with vocals and all.]]

* RunningGag: He names all of his starter Pokémon Marriland, except in his Yellow Lets Play where he didn't name his Pikachu that, his [[VideoGame/PokemonBlack2andWhite2 Pokémon White 2]] Lets Play, where he names an actual Marill that, and his Nuzlockes, where he names them (as well as all his Pokemon) after food.
** In most of the "yes/no" questions he is given in his White 2 Adventure prior to beating the game, he says "no", proclaiming that he "just wants to go back to bed". He even sarcastically tries to refuse getting a Pokemon at the very beginning of the game because of that, until his mother tells him Bianca is waiting for him, enticing Devin and asking her "why she didn't start with that".

** Pokemon Moon Adventure: Yelling at his in-game mom over how she never unpacks despite saying she would.

* SecondLove: The vast majority of Pokemon in his Wedlocke challenge end up having to find one, due to their original partners being KilledOffForReal.

* TheHeroDies: [[spoiler:The way [[HistoryRepeats Emerald, Heartgold, Platinum and Sun all end]], as far as the Pokemon themselves go. Black 2 has an interesting example in that Capoeira the Conkeldurr dies not in the last episode, but the one immediately beforehand.]]

* [[UnexpectedCharacter Unexpected Series]]: Almost no-one expected a Blind Let's Play of ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' to show up on his main channel, which has dealt exclusively with Pokemon content since the creation of the More Marriland sub-channel.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He's been uneasy around Jolteons ever since [[spoiler: the one belonging to the Kimono Girls killed three of his Pokemon in the Wedlocke.]] At one point, he even briefly contemplated turning Celery, his Eevee, into one, but felt that would be "joining the dark side" and not very nice. He did take considerations to using one in the Platinum Nuzlocke and PMD: Gates to Infinity, though.

* CatchPhrase: While he didn't have one in the post commentary series, nowadays it's "Howwww's it going everyone, Marriland here!".
** MadLibsCatchPhrase: "I will see you on the next episode of <series>. See ya next time, <name of trainer class that he fought during the video>s!"

[[http://www.marriland.com A guy that does Pokémon related walkthroughs and owns a website named after himself]]. In 2007, he started his Pokemon Diamond walkthrough. He left Website/{{Youtube}} in 2010 because of the flagging that many Youtubers were going through at the time. However, in May 2012, he returned, all of his older videos remastered and with new content. He originally was happy to work with his [[Creator/EdisonTCrux brother]], but personal issues have since broken apart this fairly enjoyable collaborative pairing.

* RetroGaming: He mentioned on one of his streams that he is into a variety of games from the 16-bit era with the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis, such as the original VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog games on the latter (particularly ''{{VideoGame/Sonic 3 And Knuckles}}''), and ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'', which he has said is his favorite Zelda game of all time. It's part of the reason he started "Throwback Thursday" on his Twitch channel.

* NamesTheSame: InUniverse. In Part 19 of the White 2 Adventure, where he's dragged into Join Avenue, he runs into a Youngster named Devin, who he invites to open a Flower Shop, but before that he's like, "WAIT, is that guy's name Devin?!" His title of "Florist Devin" causes him to rage, saying he himself is "Lord Devin", not Florist Devin.[[note]]Lord Devin refers to how he is addressed in Conquest.[[/note]]

** On a similar note, [[spoiler: Episode 31 of the Heartgold Wedlocke, "One Last Dance!" Marriland loses [[KillEmAll almost his entire team]]]].

** The X Wedlocke has [[spoiler: Part 47, in which, due to the trainers Black Belt Ander and the deadly Brains and Brawn Arman and Hugo, Marriland lost [[KillEmAll two thirds of his team]], only leaving Sage and Cardamon as the only survivors before the first checkpoint. This was qualified by viewers as an event rivaling the Kimono Girls incident way back in the Heartgold Wedlocke.]]

* ShesGotLegs: In his Emerald Nuzlocke, he was contemplating playing as a girl, but ultimately chooses the male and names him Devin, again. In one of the Q&A episodes, he states that he wanted to play as the girl and name her "Legs", thinking it would be a funny name. He then does exactly that in his Heartgold Wedlocke.
** AnArmAndALeg: He then names his rival "Arms", and names the first episode exactly this.

* KillEmAll: Let's just say Marilland's decision to [[spoiler: take his Elite Four-winning team to Kanto]] may not have been such a good idea...

** The curse of the Quick Claw returns in the Omega Ruby Wedlocke, and somehow manages to be taken UpToEleven, to the point where the Quick Claw is now considered a boarderline ArtifactOfDoom.

** While this wasn't done on any recorded playthrough, he had an instance that takes this UpToEleven: [[spoiler:On one of his streams, he spoke about having done a [=WonderWedlocke=] and having made it through the entire game with no deaths, including past the Champion. That is, until he came to AZ, and then he lost a pair to them. Two deaths, to by far the easiest opponent of the final battles, and his perfect run was broken there of all places. Goodness.]]

* AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield: The Champion battles of his Nuzlockes and Wedlockes (including Lance, Blue and Red in Heart Gold, and N in Black) have edited sidebars with animated scenes in the background (except in the case of Wallace and Steven in Emerald, where he used white beams shooting through a black hole behind the screen). For Cynthia in Platinum, for example, he had a purple background with electricity shooting that would have an eclipse when one of his Pokémon would die. Ghetsis in Black and Black 2 used a very similar effect. The Elite Four battles in his Black (2) Wedlocke used shades that were the same color as the battle background, and the Gym Leader battles of his Black 2 Wedlocke use a blue and purple animation. Colress at the Plasma Frigate used a blue background with stars spinning, and the battle with the Champion, Iris used the same effect albeit with multicolored stars (as to go along with the battlefield).

* AnyoneCanDie: In the Nuzlocke and Wedlocke.

* BabiesEverAfter: Carrot and Peach after beating Lance in the Heartgold Wedlocke. And after surviving that long, [[EarnYourHappyEnding they damn well deserved it!]]
** [[spoiler: Sadly, as of the fight against Blue, this has become [[SomeoneToRememberHimBy Someone To Remember Them BOTH By]]...]]
** [[spoiler: Pumpkin the Raticate at the end of the Fire Red Wedlocke, when the final piece of art depicts her with a newly-hatched Rattata. It's open to interpretation, but it's possible that Carrot was that baby.]]

* BigNo: Other than the ever so common ones upon deaths in his Nuzlockes, he also has one in Episode 93 of White 2 (Twist Mountain) when a Boldore uses Explosion on Scaleaf the Serperior. He then rants that things with Sturdy shouldn't get Explosion.

* BittersweetEnding: The fight against Wattson in the Emerald Nuzlocke, and the Kimono Girls in Heartgold Wedlocke. See WhamEpisode below.
** [[spoiler: To say nothing of the final battle with Wallace in Emerald, which saw the death of [[TheHero Frittata the Crobat]]]].

* BookEnds: The final battle in Yellow against Gary has him using Pikachu against his Jolteon. That's how the series began, with him using Pikachu against it while it was an Eevee.

* BrokenWinLossStreak: [[spoiler: The Black 2 Wedlocke is the first of his Nuzlocke/Wedlocke video series that has the Elite Four killing any of his Pokémon - in this case, Shauntal's Choice Scarf Chandelure kills Capoeira the Conkeldurr and Rumba the Drapion.]]

* CursedWithAwesome: In Emerald, he believes the Quick Claw is this: after Potato the Swalot is taken at the hands of a critical hit from Flannery's Torkoal with Overheat while at +4 Special Defense, he claims the Quick Claw is cursed, as all three of his Pokémon that died to critical hits at the time [[note]]Waffles the Combusken, Potatoer the Numel, and Potato[[/note]] were holding the Quick Claw at the time of death. And that's interesting, considering how in his White 2 Adventure, Vesuvian (Camerupt) tends to get the Quick Claw off so often in a pinch.

* ADeathInTheLimelight: Sushi the Tentacool in Emerald. Probably the biggest contribution he ever made to the team was his HeroicSacrifice against Wattson, but it was one hell of a DyingMomentOfAwesome.

* DeathSong: "Wounded" by Kevin [=MacLeod=], which he plays in the [[ReallyDeadMontage final sendoffs]] he gives his deceased Pokémon in Nuzlockes before releasing them. He said himself that the song has become so symbolic that he wants it to be his death theme.

* DownerBeginning: The Black Wedlocke. [[spoiler: His starter and its partner are killed in only part 3, and he then proceeds to lose ''all'' his females before Lenora (meaning his remaining males have to fight alone), and doesn't even get a Fighting type as his Pinwheel encounter. He manages to get through her, but Warbler dies, leaving him with only ''two'' Pokemon, and very few oppertunities for new encounters until after the 3rd Gym. While he does put in a successful attempt at rebuilding the team afterward, he has another massacre against Cheren and then a double battle on Route 5, knocking him below a full party again. Things ''do'' start to get better from there though.]]
** The Omega Ruby Wedlocke was on a pretty bad start, too. [[spoiler: He misses several encounters at the beginning thanks to Dupes Clause, so his Wurmple doesn't get any action until after he beats the first Gym. But then he loses three Pokémon before he even arrives in Mauville City, and then suffers the loss of Pickles the Marshtomp and Crisps the Zigzagoon right before he even enters the Mauville Gym. Things do start to improve from there on, however.]]
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: The Y [=WonderWedlocke=] ends in failure, with him losing 2/3 his team against Drasna, then Wikstrom's Scizor brings his final pair to their end, making it the first Nuzlocke or Wedlocke series of his for him to end up failing.]]
** [[spoiler: The Sun Nuzlocke also ends in failure. He loses 2/3 of his team to the Elite Four, then Kukui's Ninetales and Incineroar finish off his final two.]]

* EpicFail: Part 74 of the X Adventure (the first one after he beats the game), where he says he chose Chespin at the beginning of the game, and Shauna trades you the starter that yours is weak against. But he picked Froakie, and she gives you the starter that is weak against yours. Assuming he was still playing blind, that would be excusable to make said mistake, but not remembering his starter is quite laughably silly.

* FatalFlaw: [[spoiler: Trapador the Gallade's physical Defense ends up doing him in.]]

* FissionMailed: [[spoiler: He initially chooses ''not'' to have Tusks return to the Pokemon world in ''Gates to Infinity'', despite all Broham went through to get him back... then reveals it was all a fake out and "rewinds" back to the decision.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Sushi the Tentacool in Episode 15 of Emerald, who dies to Wattson's Manectric, but not without hitting with Supersonic, poisoning it with Poison Sting and lowering its Defense with Acid (in that order), all three of which were critical to killing it with Omelette]].

* HistoryRepeats: In both his Emerald Nuzlocke and Heartgold Wedlocke, his first death was in Episode 15. Then, in both series, in Episode 28 he has two deaths and ends up with seven following them.

* [[spoiler: KillEmAll: Let's just say Marilland's decision to take his Elite Four-winning team to Kanto may not have been such a good idea...]]

* [[spoiler: SacrificialLion: Waffles' death in Emerald set the whole series off, and later Omelette's death seemed to be the mark where things started getting ''[[AnyoneCanDie really]]'' grim. Likewise for Lettuce and Apricot, and later Cauliflower, in Heart Gold.]]

* TemptingFate: In Episode 15 of the Heartgold Wedlocke, he says he'll use [[spoiler: Cantaloupe]] for the Bug Catching Contest, "because she's pretty much indestructible". [[spoiler: Needless to say, she ends up dying.]]
** And in Episode 26 "Deceit and Disguises", [[spoiler:he mentions that he really loves Xatu, and is happy to be using one (Papaya) on his team. "I just hope nothing bad happens to her! That would make me really sad." Guess what happens not even 90 seconds later.]]

* [[spoiler: TheHeroDies: The way [[HistoryRepeats Emerald, Heartgold, Platinum and Sun all end]], as far as the Pokemon themselves go. Black 2 has an interesting example in that Capoeira the Conkeldurr dies not in the last episode, but the one immediately beforehand.]]

* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:Subverted with the fight against Giratina in the Platinum Nuzlocke - with his prime option against it suddenly burned down against Cyrus, Giratina getting the boost from [=AncientPower=] left things going downhill quite fast. Had it not hurt itself in confusion twice in a row, he would have been on the receiving end of one.]]

* BadassGay: As per WordOfGod, Salad the Bellossom in Emerald.

* SuddenlyVoiced: Nightfox the Zoroark (formerly Zorua) in episode 44 of Gates to Infinity.

* RetroGaming: He mentioned on one of his streams that he is into a variety of games from the 16-bit era with the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis, such as the original SonicTheHedgehog games on the latter (particularly ''{{VideoGame/Sonic 3 And Knuckles}}''), and ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'', which he has said is his favorite Zelda game of all time. It's part of the reason he started "Throwback Thursday" on his Twitch channel.

** The X Wedlocke has a happier variation of this: [[spoiler:Sage the Greninja is the first starter in any of his series that he was able to take to the end, AND survive the Pokemon League.]]

* '''Pokemon Platinum Nuzlocke, Set Mode + Item Restrictions''' - Following the many "item whoring" complaints he received in Emerald and Heart Gold, and given how a few people were taking their Nuzlockes up by putting the battle style on Set (leaves them unable to switch) and restricting items, he decided he was up next. Though he has it up as a thread on the forums but has mentioned that it will be uploaded to YouTube eventually. Meant to basically be a little side adventure to play alongside the HG Wedlocke. Can be found [[http://www.marriland.com/forums/pokemon/pokemon-challenges/436375-marrilands-platinum-nuzlocke-set-mode-item here]]. He later stated he would stop posting updates to the forum on account of the FanDumb constantly perstering him to update, despite him being busy with Heartgold grinding and other things. He has stated it will be uploaded to Youtube once the Heartgold Wedlocke concludes. Finished as of October 6, 2013.

* '''Pokémon Y [=WonderWedlocke Wednesday=]''': A [=WonderWedlocke=] done on his [=TwitchTV=] stream that he has been doing on another copy of Y that he has. Started in April 2014 and done almost every Wednesday after, this challenge combined the Wonderlocke, the Wedlocke and the challenging item+level restrictions that the Platinum Nuzlocke had for a very intense playthrough. He has uploaded every episode to YouTube following their streamings. Data can be found [[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvIFlo--DkY0dC1ZYndXT0d4aDRhbEtDelBlV3dfY2c#gid=0 here]]. Finished on November 12, 2014, also the first -Locke series of his that has ended in failure.

* ComplainingAboutThingsYouHaventPaidFor: Discussed in Part 30 of Emerald, when he realized that he wasn't doing anything entertaining in that episode, he was afraid that his fans would be angry and demand their money back, which [[CrowningMomentOfFunny worried him because his videos are available for free]], [[InsaneTrollLogic so he'd be put out of business]].

** [[spoiler: The Sun Nuzlocke also ends in failure. He loses 2/3 of his team to the Elite Four, then Kukui's Ninetails and Incineroar finish off his final two.]]

[[quoteright:324:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/537227_10200452651511813_789031245_n.jpg]]

* '''Pokémon Moon Adventure''': A blind playthrough of Pokémon Moon. He didn't look anything up with regards to spoilers, new pokemon, or the Alolan forms of existing pokemon. He said multiple times in the playthrough that he wouldn't be looking anything up to prevent spoilers, as this was his first time playing through the game and he wanted his reactions to be genuine.

** His entire team dies against Drayedn in the Black Wedlocke. [[spoiler: April Fools!]]

* HopeSpot: In Part 29 of Platinum, he encounters a Double Team with a high-leveled Gyarados and Raichu, but manages to defeat them without a major disaster, dispite a Double Team killing one member of his team back in HeartGold. [[spoiler: The ''next'' trainer, however, claims one of his Pokemon on the very first move.]]

** X Wedlocke: [[spoiler: Battle Girl Hedvig, Brains & Brawn Eoin and Wolf, Team Flare Celosia in Lysandre Labs, Black Belt Ander, Brains & Brawn Arman and Hugo]]
