3	[[http://www.marriland.com A guy that does Pokémon related walkthroughs and owns a website named after himself]]. In 2007, he started his ''[[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Pokémon 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.
4	----
5	!!Some of Marriland's video series include:
6	-----
7	* '''Pokémon Diamond Adventure''' -- The one that started it all and really got Devin his name.
8	* '''Pokémon 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.
9	* '''[[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Pokémon 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 Pokémon he uses on his main team, Pikachu in this case (unless you count Zekrom being used against N in ''[[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite White]]'', though that was temporary), due to wanting to keep it like the anime on that note.
10	* '''[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Pokémon [=SoulSilver=]]] 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.
11	* '''Pokémon 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 ''[=SoulSilver=]'', it has been discontinued but he plans to do a final video for a summary of what came after.
12	* '''Pokémon Conquest Adventure'''
13	* '''[[VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2 Pokémon 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.
14	* '''Pokémon 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 [=SoulSilver=] 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 Pokémon World Tournament, the Nature Preserve and the Therian Formes).
15	* '''[[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Pokémon 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.
16	* '''Pokémon [=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.
17	* '''Pokémon Platinum Nuzlocke, Set Mode + Item Restrictions''' -- Following the many "item whoring" complaints he received in Emerald and [=HeartGold=], 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.
18	* '''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonGatesToInfinity Adventure''' -- A guided playthrough of the new ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon'' game. As with ''White 2'', it is unknown whether he will show any more footage.
19	* '''[[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Pokémon 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.
20	* '''Pokémon 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.
21	* '''Pokémon 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.
22	* '''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.
23	* '''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.
24	* '''Pokémon 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.
25	* '''[=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.
26	* '''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.
27	* '''[[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Pokémon Moon]] Adventure''' -- A blind playthrough of ''Pokémon Moon''. He didn't look anything up with regards to spoilers, new Pokémon, or the Alolan forms of existing Pokémon. 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.
28	* '''Pokémon Sun Nuzlocke''' -- Started on December 25th, 2016 and ended on May 7th, 2017.
29	* '''Pokémon [=FireRed=] Wedlocke''' -- Started on February 14th, 2018 and ended on April 8th, 2018.
30	!!Other series include:
31	* '''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.
32
33	!!Marriland's videos contains examples of:
34	-----
35	* AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield:
36	** 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).
37	** All the important battles in his Omega Ruby Wedlocke (such Gym Leaders and rival fights) have him using a slow red and orange background that list the opponent's Pokémon and show them as killed when he defeats them.
38	** Taken to even greater effect in the Champion battle against Steven - the bottom sidebar which shows his team has the stars flying much like Iris, except in blue, while the sidebar showing Steven's team had a spinning star of yellow lines covering a purple background.
39	* AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle: Said word-for-word in Part 47 of the X Adventure (Poké Ball Factory) after discovering that the "beep-beep" sound comes ''after'' choosing which Pokémon to give a TM move to, and not before it like in previous generations.
40	* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: He does the entirety of the Mystery Dungeon postgame sequence, including his commentary, in-character as Broham. [[spoiler: Until Tusks comes back.]]
41	%%* AnyoneCanDie: In the Nuzlocke and Wedlocke.
42	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: In Episode 38 of PMD: Gates to Infinity, describing Cryogonal:
43	-->"These things can get kinda frustrating as well, because they can hit you from a distance, they can lower your Attack, they can use like Acid Armor and stuff, and...they can even join your team."
44	** And his Pokémon Review for Corsola in the Black 2 and White 2 walkthrough:
45	-->"It has very little redeeming factors (name one), doesn't evolve into anything better, is slow as tar, has really low overall stats, barely does damage when it attacks, and, uh, its breath smells of rotting fish (don't let its docile appearance fool you!)."
46	** Part 68 of the X Adventure (Victory Road), upon encountering a wild Druddigon:
47	-->"It's just a pure Dragon-type. But you know, it's pretty strong…hits fairly hard…" (It breaks out of Marriland's Quick Ball) "…And doesn't want to be caught!"
48	* BabiesEverAfter:
49	** 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]]...]]
50	** [[spoiler: Pumpkin the Raticate' final piece of art at the end of the Fire Red Wedlocke depicts her with a newly-hatched Rattata. It's open to interpretation, but it's possible that Carrot was that baby.]]
51	* BattleCouple: The point of his Wedlocke challenge, as the pairs must always fight side-by-side and must be the only ones that can be used in a whole battle, and when one dies, the other must either avenge their fallen partner or die and be TogetherInDeath.
52	* BerserkButton: Any trainer who kills any of his Pokémon in Nuzlockes or Wedlockes. [[KarmaHoudini Except]] [[FinalBoss Red, Cynthia and Iris]], anyway.
53	* BigNo:
54	** 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.
55	** In the episode 21 of his Platinum Nuzlocke, this happens when [[spoiler: P.I. Carlos's Goldeen lands a [[OneHitKO Horn Drill]] on Caesar the Roselia]].
56	* BigOMG: His Platinum Nuzlocke, upon encountering a shiny Magnemite. "Oh, another Magnemite... OH. MY. GOD."
57	* BitchInSheepsClothing: Basically what he views [[TheScrappy Scott from Emerald]] as, because whenever he is on screen or calls him, [[PlayedForLaughs he'll have a freak attack saying that he's the reason Pokémon are always dying]], because of how he calls at the weirdest times and such. Except in Episode 30 "Which Switch Is Which?!" when he calls him at the request of one of his viewers claiming it would be funny if he did.
58	** He even has the same freak attack in Part 119 of White 2, Welcome to Autumn, when he runs into a male Worker named Scott in the Castelia Sewers.
59	* BittersweetEnding:
60	%%** The fight against Wattson in the Emerald Nuzlocke, and the Kimono Girls in Heartgold Wedlocke. See WhamEpisode below.
61	** [[spoiler: The final battle with Wallace in Emerald saw the death of [[TheHero Frittata the Crobat]]]].
62	** To a smaller extent, the Double Team on Route 47 with Electabuzz and Magmar: [[spoiler: Pear the Victreebel dies. Turnip survives a STAB Thunderbolt with 1 freaking HP. Just in time to evolve into Feraligatr, no less.]]
63	** To a ''not smaller in the least'' extent [[spoiler: the battle with Blue in the Heartgold Wedlocke, which resulted in the loss of Peach and Carrot, the [[SoleSurvivor Sole Survivors]] of the Elite Four until then. Not only that, Carrot had been around since practically the very beginning.]]
64	** A similar situation happens with the final battle against Cynthia in Platinum. [[spoiler: He wins, but ends up losing 4 of his Pokémon, including his starter Firebutt, in the process. However, Ninjarisu, the Pokémon he claimed to develop a connection with the best, survived.]]
65	** Downplayed in the Black Wedlocke. [[spoiler: There was only one death during the entire Elite Four and final battles, but it was Turkey the Garbodor, who'd gained a ''huge'' fan following for his performance, and had become a favourite of Marriland's too.]]
66	** [[spoiler: The Black 2 Wedlocke was another harsh one, he wins the fight but had 2/3 his team down, including Capoeira the Conkeldurr, who had been with the team the longest and had died before even reaching the Champion.]]
67	* BookEnds:
68	** 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.
69	** His first Pokémon in the Sun Nuzlocke is Yarrow the Rowlet. In the final battle, [[spoiler:Yarrow is the last Pokémon to die]].
70	* BossInMookClothing:
71	** In Episode 45 of PMD: Gates to Infinity, he takes on a 9-star mission in Smoking Mountain that has him going to the sixth floor to rescue an Archen. He "only" has to rescue an Archen. Right? Right? Cue frustration.
72	** The X Wedlocke introduced the Trainer of Death mechanic. There, Marriland must defeat certain trainers with tough Pokémon before moving on.
73	* BrokenWinLossStreak:
74	** [[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.]]
75	** 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 Pokémon League.]]
76	* ButtMonkey: Quiet in the Platinum Nuzlocke is looking to be this, based on her name. "Quiet!" "Pfft...sorry!" Marriland also makes her fail most of the [[ExcuseQuestion Jubilife clown quizzes.]]
77	* CharacterCatchphrase: While he didn't have one in the post commentary series, nowadays it's "Howwww's it going everyone, Marriland here!".
78	* ChekhovsGun: In the Platinum Nuzlocke, he had a Persim Berry attached to Starwing the Staraptor prior to Part 30. Then, it gets its use against Cyrus' Golbat when it hits with Supersonic, and he lampshades the trope thinking Starwing would get confused eventually.
79	* CensoredForComedy: He makes a running gag of adding in a ClusterBleepBomb in editing every time a Pokémon uses the move "Curse", and admits he's never saying anything during those bleeps.
80	* 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 [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments worried him because his videos are available for free]], [[InsaneTrollLogic so he'd be put out of business]].
81	* CurbStompBattle:
82	** [[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.]]
83	** In the X Wedlocke, Allspice the Espeon vs Korrina. He OHKO's all 3 of her Pokémon.
84	* CursedWithAwesome:
85	** 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.
86	** The curse of the Quick Claw returns in the Omega Ruby Wedlocke, and somehow manages to be taken up to eleven, to the point where the Quick Claw is now considered a boarderline ArtifactOfDoom.
87	* ADeathInTheLimelight:
88	** 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.
89	** Episode 29 of the Platinum Nuzlocke begins with Marriland TemptingFate (see below), going on about how awesome Ninjarisu is, and having Firebutt the Monferno finally evolve into Infernape. But on a route full of tough trainers, it seems obvious this is coming... [[spoiler: Subverted, however, when the one who dies turns out to be Trapador the Gallade, who otherwise don't have much screentime in that particular episode.]]
90	* DeathSong:
91	** "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.
92	** That being said, it seems highly overshadowed by "Go On" by Morgan Sadler, [[spoiler:the song he chose to use instead for his final tribute to Turnip, Plum, Scallion, and Grape in [[WhamEpisode Episode 31 of Wedlocke]]]].
93	* DisproportionateRetribution: In his Platinum Nuzlocke, he received several comments from people telling him that his "release a Pokémon if it exceeds the next Gym Leader's highest level" rule is this and it's silly that he should have to lose them permanently over something that's normal for people to do in Nuzlockes. Which may be why in his Black 2 Wedlocke and Y[=WonderWedlocke=], he changed it to simply not being able to use anything that exceeds said limit until after the Gym battle.
94	* DrinkingGame: [[{{DrinkingGame/Marriland}} See here]].
95	* DownerBeginning:
96	** 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'' Pokémon, 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.
97	** The Omega Ruby Wedlocke whas 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. 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 enters the Mauville Gym.]] Things do start to improve from there on, however.
98	* DownerEnding:
99	** The [[spoiler:Y [=WonderWedlocke=]]] ends in failure, with him losing [[spoiler:two-thirds of 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.]]
100	** The [[spoiler:Sun Nuzlocke]] also ends in failure. He loses two-thirds of his team to the Elite Four, then [[spoiler:Kukui's Ninetales and Incineroar]] finish off his final two.
101	* DyingMomentOfAwesome: Happens at one point in the X Wedlocke. [[spoiler: Hemlock managed to get one Thunderbolt in before falling to Lysandre's Mega Gyarados, but it was a critical hit ''and'' it paralyzed!]]
102	* EpicFail:
103	** 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.
104	** Part 17 of the X Wedlocke: He gives Rest and Sleep Talk to Cocoa the Slurpluff... And then realizes that she has Sweet Veil, which prevents her from falling asleep by any means.
105	* FatalFamilyPhoto: In the [=HeartGold=] Wedlocke, this is usually averted in that getting his team's picture taken by Cameron the Photographer doesn't increase the probability of a death, but it is played straight in [[spoiler:[[WhamEpisode Episode 31]]]].
106	* FatalFlaw:
107	** [[spoiler: Trapador the Gallade's physical Defense ends up doing him in.]]
108	** [[spoiler:Fettuccine's unability to overcome confusion was his undoing according to Marriland.]]
109	* FissionMailed:
110	** [[spoiler:He initially chooses ''not'' to have Tusks return to the Pokémon 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.]]
111	** His entire team dies against Drayden in the Black Wedlocke. [[spoiler: April Fools!]]
112	* FunWithAcronyms: Episode 26 of Heartgold.
113	-->"ROLO, right? ...Or no, it's YOLO. I always love joking and saying ROLO. And I don't know what it means...but it's sure better than YOLO! That's for sure.
114	* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Part 68 of the X Adventure, in Victory Road. While he's looking for interesting Pokémon and has found more than his fair share of Lickitung, Graveler and Druddigon, while he's outside, out of nowhere swoops down a Level 59 Hydreigon. Since they're pretty rare and he was playing the game blind, it surely came off as a nice surprise for him.
115	* GoshDarnItToHeck: By default, and sometimes almost verbatim. [[spoiler: He put in a SoundEffectBleep after Trapador died in Platinum, but WordOfGod says he wasn't saying anything there, it was just a case of CensoredForComedy.]]
116	** In his ''Pokémon White 2 Adventure'', he considered the phrase "shut your mouth" to be a bit much for a Pokémon 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.
117	* [[spoiler: HappyEndingOverride: He gets through the Elite Four in the Heartgold Wedlocke without losing a single member of his team. They all end up dying in Kanto.]]
118	* HeroKiller: Several during the course of the Nuzlockes and Wedlockes.
119	** Emerald Nuzlocke: [[spoiler: Wattson and Wallace]]
120	** Heartgold Wedlocke: [[spoiler: Arms in the Underground Basement and Mt. Moon, Executive Ariana at Goldenrod Radio Tower, the Kimono Girls, Super Nerd Pat [[note]]the one at the end of Nugget Bridge with the Porygon[[/note]], Blue and Red.]]
121	** Platinum Nuzlocke: [[spoiler: Giratina and Cynthia]]
122	** Black Wedlocke: [[spoiler: Cheren, twice]]
123	** Black 2 Wedlocke: [[spoiler: Burgh, Skyla, Shauntal and Iris]]
124	** Y [=WonderWedlocke=] [[spoiler: Black Belt Cadoc, Hiker Bernard, Grant, Korrina, Valerie, Lysandre, Ace Trainer Mireille, Drasna and Wikstrom]]
125	** Omega Ruby Wedlocke: [[spoiler: Team Aqua Grunt at the Slateport Museum, Pokémon Breeder Lydia and Elite Four Glacia]]
126	** 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, Diantha]]
127	** Fire Red Wedlocke: For the first time, it's less a trainer, but one of their Pokémon. [[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.]]
128	* HeroicSacrifice:
129	** [[spoiler:Sushi the Tentacool in Episode 15 of Emerald 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]].
130	** [[spoiler: Eggpie the Crobat]] in Platinum, who pulls off a similar feat to the above, [[spoiler: confusing Giratina and single-handedly preventing a TotalPartyKill.]]
131	*** Similarly, [[spoiler: Firebutt the Infernape dies against Cynthia's Garchomp, but not without stripping it of almost half its health with Close Combat, after finishing off her Togekiss with a Blaze boosted Fire Blast at that. This allowed Slippers the Quagsire to beat Garchomp with a Quick Claw activated Blizzard.]]
132	* HistoryRepeats:
133	** 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.
134	** [[spoiler: The Emerald Nuzlocke, Heartgold Wedlocke, Platinum Nuzlocke ''and'' Sun Nuzlocke's final (technically) episodes all end with the death of the Pokémon considered TheHero [[note]]although for Platinum, YMMV as to whether Firebutt or Ninjarisu is considered that[[/note]].]]
135	** [[spoiler: Also, in both the Black and Black 2 Wedlockes, the first to die was his Lillipup, in Episode 3. Similarly, his starter was the second death]].
136	** Episode 6 of both the Emerald and Platinum Nuzlockes have him being caught up in a crazy meme and it being the name of the episode.
137	** Also, in both his White 2 Adventure and Black 2 Wedlocke, [[spoiler:an Azumarill was the Pokémon that dealt the final blow to Iris' last Pokémon]].
138	** While not a significantly notable example, Part 35 of both his Black 2 Wedlocke and Omega Ruby Wedlocke have him battling the final Gym Leader of the game, who was a Water-type Gym Leader in both cases.
139	** In a Crystal Sleeplocke done on Twitch, [[spoiler:Blue retains his HeroKiller status, except this time, he takes out Marriland's entire team, ending the challenge in failure]].
140	** For an April Fools joke, he started a Yellow playthrough, intending it to be just the one April Fools episode, but it became a full series due to a good reception. For another April Fools joke, he started an X Wedlocke, again, intending it to be a one episode joke video, but once again, a good reception convinced him to make it a full series.
141	** [[spoiler: In all of his Nuzlocke and Wedlocke video series, every single trainer who has killed his starter also claimed at least one other Pokémon with it.]]
142	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:He runs into N's Darmanitan in the Desert Resort, which is Level 35. But the first time he uses a Poké Toy to get away from it. However, the very next encounter is that Darmanitan ''again''! It kills Swing the Tranquill and nearly kills Capoeira the Gurdurr, but then after killing it, he realizes he had a Repel up, which made it the only thing he could have ran into.]]
143	* HonorBeforeReason: In his Nuzlockes, he refuses to sacrifice any Pokémon as death fodder. Many people told him that he should have sacrificed Fries the Zigzagoon in the battle against Wattson to save [[spoiler:Waffles]] from his Magneton. It turned out to be quite the decision, as Fries lasted through the entire series and was never in the PC.
144	* 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 Pokémon on the very first move.]]
145	* ImpliedLoveInterest: Fries and Frittata in the Emerald Nuzocke. It's not a Wedlocke so there's no official romance, but the two were the main leaders of the team and went through a lot of moments together, and WordOfGod (Marriland's team member profiles on Deviantart) seems to portray them as a couple. [[spoiler: It makes Fritatta's death in the final battle, leaving Fries alone, even worse.]] Spagetti and Almonds too, who were a male-female pair who frequently fought as a team, which later became a staple of the Wedlocke challenge.
146	* IncrediblyLamePun : Part 11 of Marriland's Pokémon Moon Adventure is basically "Lame Hair-Related Puns: The Episode".
147	* {{Irony}}: In Episode 28 of Emerald "The Awful Phone Rings!", [[spoiler:Omelette the Illumise is taken at the hands of Fisherman Elliot's Gyarados, then Devin finds out that "BIG SERVICE" was replaced with "AWFUL PHONE" at Dewford Town]]. In the comments, [[spoiler:someone mentions how ironic "awful phone" is, considering he called Elliot in the episode prior to that battle.]] Devin himself doesn't realize this until very late in the adventure, however.
148	** In the same episode, he says that he will then try to catch something, to end the episode on a ''positive'' note. Said attempt resulted in [[spoiler:Ravioli's death]].
149	** In Episode 33 of Heartgold "Oh no, Ho-Oh!", before revealing his new pairs (Cauliflower the Seel + Tangerine the Tangela and Spinach the Nidoran M + Banana the Krabby), he leaves them spoilered in the sidebar, even censoring one of their names while battling a wild Poliwhirl in Ecruteak City. The irony comes in when he uses Surf, which shows a Krabby using it.
150	** [[spoiler: Partridge the Lilipup in the Black Wedlocke]] found a Revive with the Pickup ability just after her death.
151	** Played ''big time'' in Part 10 of the Black 2 Wedlocke. See HoistByHisOwnPetard above.
152	** Also, after the death of [[spoiler: Disco the Swanna against the Bouffalant run by Almost, his rival, the fan art montage shows one of a Swanna and a Bouffalant dancing.]]
153	* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: Played with in the final battle against Cynthia in the Platinum Nuzlocke - despite him losing 2/3 his team to her, he doesn't display an attitude that conveys a permanent grudge like he does to other {{Hero Killer}}s like the Kimono Girls, Blue and Cyrus. Quite the opposite in fact - he even offered that Cynthia could come on the elevator with him since "there was room for two". Possibly because it's the final battle, and Cynthia is his favorite Champion, but still.]]
154	** [[spoiler: He's also rather light on Lenora, who killed Warbler the Tympole in Episode 7 of the Black Wedlocke. He stated on the forums that Lenora is his favorite Unova Gym Leader.]]
155	** [[spoiler: Despite Burgh killing his starter and its partner in the Black 2 Wedlocke, Marriland doesn't seem to hold a grudge against him. In fact, in training episodes of the Wonderwedlocke, he says in his personal interpretation of the story, Brugh goes on to win the next election and become president of Unova.]]
156	* LargeHam: Oh so much.
157	** Episode 46 in HG Wedlocke, when he runs into a trainer with a Level 65 Magikarp. '''''"WHAT THE FLIP??? WHAT THE FLIP?!?!?! IT'S A LEVEL SIXTY-FLIPPIN-FIVE MAGIKARP!!! WHAT ON EARTH! AM I LOOKING AT! WHY IS THIS MAGIKARP SO HIGH LEVEL?!?! WHAT...THE FLIP...IS UP WITH THAT!!! THIS IS A LEVEL 65 MAGIKARP! WHAT ON EARTH?! DUDE, LIKE, YOU NEED A HOBBY OR SOMETHING! A LEVEL 65 MAGIKARP?!? OHHHHHHHHH, IT'S USING SPLASH! IT'S SO REGAL! HOW CAN I DO ANYTHING BUT BOW DOWN TO THAT!!!"''''' ...You get the idea.
158	** Professor Rowan in the Platinum Nuzlocke, big time.
159	* LastSecondWordSwap: In Part 2 of the Emerald Nuzlocke: "What a [[RichBitch rich]] [[LargeHam BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRCH!]]"
160	** In Part 4, he tells the guy trying to make his daughter laugh to eat a...dill pickle.
161	* LateArrivalSpoiler: Given that the Platinum Nuzlocke was realeased in text form on the forums before being uploaded to Youtube, this was inevitable. The forum version has a clearly-indicated R.I.P list, and for those who've read it the outcome of certain events becomes a ForegoneConclusion.
162	* 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!"
163	* MemeticLoser: Waffles the Combusken is an in-universe example in the Emerald Nuzlocke. Marriland has said several times he doesn't think very highly of him [[spoiler: due to his death by hitting himself in confusion]] and characterises him as a SmallNameBigEgo who was never a true "bro".
164	* TheMillstone: Rhyla the Rhyhorn in the ''Explorers of Sky Adventure'' ignores a tactics command to "go together" and instead runs off on her own, running into a Skorupi who ''knocks her out TWICE'' with Pin Missile, wasting two of Marriland's Reviver Seeds. Marriland wisely decides to immidiately send her home.
165	* MoodWhiplash: In the battle against Wally at Victory Road in the Omega Ruby Wedlocke, Tamale the Swellow gets poisoned thanks to Roselia's Poison Point. Marriland is raving about how good that is... "Tamale is in total BRO MODE now! He's ready... He is ready! Blaze of glory, Tamale! Blaze of glory!" Then he finds out that Wally's gonna use a Magneton. "This is terrible."
166	* MundaneMadeAwesome: In the Omega Ruby Wedlocke, when he's in situations that make it look like his Pokémon are about to die, he slows it down and then has the Pokémon's cry come out after the survival.
167	* MundaneObjectAmazement:
168	** Marriland can sit on '''BENCHES''' now!
169	** When discussing the ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' trailer, the last thing brought up:
170	--->'''Marriland''': There are TRUCKS!
171	* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Episode 53 of the X adventure
172	--> "There's a nice assortment of Ice-type Pokémon here. And there's also Delibird!"
173	* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: At the very end of Part 22 of the Platinum Nuzlocke, as he's about to give his MadLibsCatchPhrase and sign off, he notices a Roughneck standing right next to Quiet, and backs off from him before continuing.
174	--> "I think this is a good spot to stop, so I will... (notices the Roughneck right near Quiet) Get away from me." (walks a few steps right)
175	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: After [[spoiler: Peach and Carrot die against Blue]], he stops reading out the game's text like he usually does. His MadLibsCatchPhrase is usually delivered in a much more somber tone at the end of parts that [[WhamEpisode don't go well.]]
176	* OneGenderRace: In the Black 2 Adventure Let's Play Thingy, Piggy the Emboar is the only male Pokémon on his team. All five of his others (including his Skarmory, which was mostly just an HM Pokémon) were female. Then, in the English White 2 Adventure, his entire team consisted of male Pokémon, save Magneto the Magnezone, which is genderless. This is repeated once again in his Platinum Nuzlocke, with every single teammate on his final team being male.
177	* OverlyLongGag: Downplayed as Broham repeatedly uses Ember on a Litwick with Flash Fire in Episode 15 of PMD: Gates to Infinity after being seperated from Tusks and crew.
178	** Downplayed twice in the XY [=WonderSleeplocke=]:
179	*** Near the very beginning of Part 9, while he is trying to train up his team, he runs into an Emolga on Route 10, and he has Miniland the Azumarill out, and goes to the Team screen, and accidentally clicks "Send in" on Miniland nine times, receiving the "Azumarill is already in battle!" message nine times before realizing what he's doing.
180	*** The second is very early in Part 12, where after he beats the first Team Flare admin in the Power Plant, he has the second one to challenge, but keeps talking to the male and sees "Scientist, take care of this pesky intruder!" ten times before he realizes he's talking to the wrong one.
181	* PresidentEvil: Ghetsis aims to become one in the Black Wedlocke.
182	* ProperlyParanoid: In the Q&A segment in Part 20 of the Emerald Nuzlocke, when asked "when do you think another of your Pokémon 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.]]
183	* TheQuietOne: In his Platinum Nuzlocke, he plays as the girl and names her "Quiet".
184	** NoIndoorVoice: And he named his rival "Lowder", claiming "he's so loud he needs a double-u".
185	* ReallyDeadMontage: He does this in his Nuzlockes when his Pokémon faint, giving them a final sendoff before releasing them.
186	** [[spoiler: This is used to particularly moving effect in [[WhamEpisode Episode 31 of the HG Wedlocke]], where the four Pokémon 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.]]
187	** [[spoiler: And used to even more particularly moving effect in Episode 63, when Carrot and Peach, who died against Blue in the previous episode, get another montage complete with, in addition to the regular sendoff, ''12 and a half minutes'' of fan-written artwork, including three proper songs, one of them with vocals added on.]]
188	* RecordNeedleScratch: Happens twice during his Omega Ruby Wedlocke.
189	** In Part 31 during the training montage, the music comes to a screeching halt and the speed returns to normal just as [[spoiler: a horde with a Shiny Oddish appears, which he eventually catches.]] He shows that moment again, though abridged, for those who decided to skip the montage.
190	** And in Part 38, during the training montage, [[spoiler: a Shiny Spinda appears in a horde, and he manages to catch it.]]
191	* RetiredBadass: Aquaducked the Golduck in Platinum. Initially he began as a Psyduck with an overall not so good nature (Adamant, +Attack -Sp Atk) who was desperate to prove himself but often failed miserably. Marriland eventually brought him back around before he fought Byron, and it evolved into Golduck and fought very well, even avenging Polarity the Magnezone against Cyrus and coming to the rescue against Giratina. He wanted to bring Aquaducked into the Elite Four, but decided that Slippers and Vengeance were more needed, and gave Aquaducked credit along with the final team lookback after beating Cynthia.
192	** While not "retired" per se, [[TheHero Cardinal the Simisear]] and Penguin the Vanilluxe did not get any screen time in the final battles of the Black Wedlocke when they had their final team art.
193	* {{Retirony}}: [[spoiler: Frittata and Taquito in Emerald, Peach and Carrot in Heartgold, Zeppelin, Vengeance, Firebutt and Slippers in Platinum, Turkey in Black, and Gangnam Style and Volta in Black 2.]]
194	* 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 Pokémon) after food.
195	** 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 Pokémon 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".
196	*** The same can also be said about the Platinum Nuzlocke.
197	** In the Black 2 Adventure Let's Play Thingy, he sarcastically says many times throughout "Well, I really need another Fighting-type on my team!" even though he has two (Emboar and Lucario).
198	** "DON'T BLOW FIRE ON THE CANDLE!" in the Gates to Infinity Adventure. See TooDumbToLive below.
199	** "FIRST! I'm first! No one else even stood a chance!"
200	** Black Wedlocke: "VOTE GHETSIS 2012...I MEAN, 2016!"
201	** Pokémon Moon Adventure: Yelling at his in-game mom over how she never unpacks despite saying she would.
202	* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler: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.]]
203	* ScissorsCutsRock: In the Sun Nuzlocke [[spoiler: Lusamine's Liligant kills both Heather the Arcanine and Cotton the Whimsicott with Petal Dance, despite the resistance. Though in Cotton's case, it got a critical hit.]]
204	* SecondLove: The vast majority of Pokémon in his Wedlocke challenge end up having to find one, due to their original partners being KilledOffForReal.
205	* SelfDeprecation: At the end of Episode 28 "The Awful Phone Rings" after [[spoiler:in addition to Omelette being taken (see Irony above), Ravioli (Lombre) is taken at the hands of a wild Tentacool who breaks out of two Poké Balls then kills it with a critical hit, forcing Devin to release it, at the point he feels Ravioli was about to be awesome in the later fights, he is left in shock and ends the episode very depressed on this quote:]]
206	-->[[spoiler:"AHHHH! This episode! Is the worst episode ever! Why?! Why why why why why why why?! Stupid awful phone! STUPID AWFUL PHONE! Anyway, i'll see you in the next episode of Marriland's Horrible Pokémon Emerald Nuzlocke Disaster! See ya next time, Trainers...]]
207	** He takes several jabs at both the nature of a Nuzlocke and his "no items" rule in the first part of the Platinum series, which double as both this and TakeThat against those who complained about his use of items.
208	* SequelHook: Based on what is stated in the official X and Y Guidebook, among many other issues that he discusses in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJU4yY5r0K0 this video]], he thinks it's a ''fact'', and not speculation, that the next Gen VI games will be in a region other than Kalos.
209	* ShipTease: In Part 20 of White 2, some of what he says before and after he battles the Subway Bosses with Rosa suggest this. He even suggests that she might like him herself.
210	** Bianca gets some with Cheren in the Black 2 Wedlocke.
211	* ShoutOut: Part 41 of the Black 2 Adventure Let's Play Thingy, before he witnesses the events with Ghetsis and Kyurem:
212	-->Oh man, i'm so nervous to go in there! But I gotta do it. [[Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld ...For the band. ''For the band.'' For the band! For the...band.]]
213	** In Part 23 of the Emerald Nuzlocke, the fourth Q&A episode, he mentions that his original inspiration for starting videos was [[WebComic/TheAngryVideoGameNerd The Angry Video Game Nerd]], who he enjoyed the style and commentary of.
214	** When he wrote the Pokémon Black 2/White 2 walkthrough back in summer 2012 using a Japanese copy of White 2, he played as the female character and named her Ginchiyo, which was a reference to one of his favorite warlords from ''VideoGame/PokemonConquest''.
215	* SixthRanger: Kholrabi the Dodrio to the original six hall-of-famers, brought in to be [[spoiler: Tangerene]]'s SecondLove after [[spoiler: Cauliflour]] died. He did pretty well for himself for a while [[spoiler: until a [[HeroKiller certain Super Nerd with a Porygon came along...]]]]
216	* SpoilerTitle: Double subverted in Part 21 of the Platinum Nuzlocke, "Coin Flip!". [[spoiler:The picture of the video has Quiet being confronted for battle by a PI. While at first you see that and think, "oh, that could mean anything", the double subversion comes in when Caesar the Roselia dies against that PI's Goldeen because of Horn Drill.]]
217	** Part 3 of the Black Wedlocke [[spoiler: is another Double Subversion.]] It's called "A Moment of Cilan's". If you know how Cilan's name is pronounced, you'll realise it's a pun on a phrase often used relating to someone's death, so things look bad going into the gym battle. [[spoiler: But Marriland gets through the fight without anyone dying despite a level disadvantage.]] Then [[spoiler: he fights Cheren on Route 3, and ''this'' battle results in the deaths of both Partridge and Bluejay.]]
218	* StealthPrequel: [[spoiler: It's open to interpretation, but the art at the ending of the Fire Red Wedlocke indicates that it might be a prequel to the Heartgold Wedlocke, implying that Pumpkin the Raticate is Carrot's mother. The fact that Heartgold/Soulsilver is canonically a sequel to Fire Red/Leaf Green supports this.]]
219	* StealthPun: Manages to sneak a pretty nice one into Part 12 of the Platinum Nuzlocke.
220	-->"Endeavor? Quick Attack? I do not [[FunWithAcronyms fear]] it."
221	* StupidSacrifice: Considering the chance to beat the game was standing right in front of him, [[spoiler:Taquito the Magneton against Wallace's Gyarados in Emerald is definitely this.]]
222	** Defied in the battle against Wattson, where Marriland had an oppertunity to sacrifice Fries the Zigzagoon but decided it wouldn't be right. [[TookALevelInBadass This ended up paying off spectacularly.]]
223	** In the X Wedlocke, [[spoiler:Cilantro the Durant's death]] to [[spoiler:Diantha's Goodra]] could be considered this as Devin realizes later that [[spoiler:Cilantro could have KO'ed Goodra in spite of his doubts, and didn't need to die by botching a second Protect in a row]], much to his misfortune.
224	* SuperSpeed: The "speed battle" in Episode 49 of the Wedlocke.
225	* TemptingFate:
226	** 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.]]
227	** 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.
228	** He spends a while going on about how surprised he is at only having one death so far at the start of Part 29 of the Platinum Nuzlocke. Naturally he gets his second death in that very part.
229	** In Episode 42 of the Black Wedlocke (the finale), [[spoiler:Turkey, after surviving a critical hit from N's Carracosta at 1 HP, and a critical Psychic from Ghetsis's Cofagrigus at 2 HP, and he's facing Ghetsis's Bouffalant, as it is using Rest: "Turkey, I can't believe what a bro you are!". No more than two or three seconds later, he ends up dying to a crit Head Charge. Cue [[StunnedSilence silence]].]]
230	** In Episode 49 of the Black 2 Wedlocke, just at the beginning of the episode [[spoiler:he isn't too worried about Shauntal, but he expected the fight to be interesting. "Thankfully I'm feeling alright about Shauntal here". Further into the episode, Capoeira and Rumba end up dying against [[HeroKiller Shauntal's Chandelure]] which had a Choice Scarf, and with that, the last of the original team members died, leaving Bergamask as the oldest in the team.]]
231	** In Episode 20 of the Omega Ruby Wedlocke, [[spoiler:Pitaya the Trapinch was fighting a Machop and she took a hit from a Wake-Up Slap, which would have been a clean 3HKO. Machop used Wake-Up Slap again, then: "Alright, you can take another Wake-Up Slap". Cue a critical hit and Pitaya's demise in the process.]]
232	** In Episode 40 of the Omega Ruby Wedlocke, when he saw the door to Phoebe's room opening with the ghost turning on 10 lights at the entrance, he mentioned this: [[spoiler:"That would actually been a lot creepier if there were one less of those lights because that would be one for every Pokémon that has died. Oh, that's right! Nine deaths! And strangely there haven't been that many lately". Cue Episode 41 in which one of Glacia's Froslass took down Fettuccine the Gyarados and Bruschetta the Shiftry, making the amount of deaths up to a total of 11.]]
233	** In Episode 16 of his blind run through Moon, Miss Mantis faces down a wild Psyduck. Marriland states, "It's a Psyduck. It's not really a big deal." Cue Miss Mantis being knocked out due to SOS BS while the aforementioned statement repeats in the background.
234	* TheHeroDies: [[spoiler:The way [[HistoryRepeats Emerald, Heartgold, Platinum and Sun all end]], as far as the Pokémon themselves go. Black 2 has an interesting example in that Capoeira the Conkeldurr dies not in the last episode, but the one immediately beforehand.]]
235	* TheReveal: Sort of. He had plenty of videos where he did show his face on his channel before he started doing playthroughs. But after the reboot of his channel, they since have become unviewable. As such, newer fans took his face shown on an announcement video to be this.
236	* [[spoiler: [[BlackDudeDiesFirst 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.]]
237	* ThemeNaming: Most of his Nuzlocke and Wedlocke video series have him using naming themes. These were what he had:
238	** His Emerald Nuzlocke had him naming stuff after food.
239	** The Heart Gold Wedlocke went with a theme of vegetables for male Pokémon and fruits for females.
240	** While he did not use a naming theme for the Platinum Nuzlocke, he went back to it with the Black Wedlocke and named his team after birds.
241	** For the Black 2 Wedlocke that followed that series, he used types of dances.
242	** In the Y [=WonderWedlocke=] stream, he named his tradeaways "Have a _____" and then thought of his own nicknames for the Pokémon he was traded if they didn't already have one.
243	** The Omega Ruby Wedlocke returns to naming his team after food.
244	** For the X Wedlocke, he names his team members after herbs and spices.
245	** In the Sun Nuzlocke, he names his team members after plants.
246	** In the Fire Red Wedlocke, he names his team members after colors.
247	* TooDumbToLive: Broham the Tepig in PMD: Gates to Infinity. For one thing, he has a tendency to keep using Fire attacks on foes with Flash Fire. And in Episode 37 "Menacing Salamence!", he knocks out Tusks (the Axew, the character Devin is playing as) in confusion.
248	* TookALevelInBadass: Fries the Zigzagoon in the Emerald Nuzlocke. Up to the intense Wattson fight, he was something that many viewers saw as nothing more than death fodder, which led Devin to train him up. Any trace whatsoever of it being death fodder was destroyed after the battle against Winona, when as a Linoone, it takes on her Altaria and survives a critical hit +1 Attack Earthquake with 3 HP, then kills her with Ice Beam. What makes it even more amazing is that the past ''three'' Gym battles had him losing team members to critical hits on the first usage of the move they were hit with...as did three of the other deaths prior.
249	* TragicBromance: [[spoiler: Cardinal and Grackle in the Black Wedlocke, after the latter's death.]]
250	* UglyGuyHotWife: Given the random nature of pairings in Wedlocks, this and the inverse are bound to happen. By far the biggest example though has to be [[spoiler: Chickadee the female Sawsbuck getting paired up with Turkey the '''Garbodor'''.]]
251	* [[spoiler: UndignifiedDeath: Cauliflour the Dewgong, who managed to beat [[OlympusMons Ho-oh]] ''one-on-one as a Seel'', and then proceeded to survive the entire Elite Four, ends up getting taken out by a Slakoth using Counter.]]
252	* [[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 Pokémon content since the creation of the More Marriland sub-channel.
253	** To a degree, ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}'' guide.
254	* UnstoppableRage: The Magikarp guy is the bane of his existence.
255	** Also anyone who calls him on the Pokénav in Emerald, or the Pokégear in Heartgold. [[DoubleStandard Unless they're female.]] Then he flirts with them.
256	** The snowy routes in Sinnoh, particularly Route 217 and Acuity Lakefront. Part 37 of Platinum shows just how much he can't stand them.
257	* VerySpecialEpisode: After Episode 45 of his Emerald Nuzlocke, the tragedy shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School occurred. Because of this, he made [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5v81JP-ZzM a special expressing his condolences to the families of the victims]], where he went to the Mirage Tower and revived an Anorith from the Claw Fossil, deciding to name it Sandy Hook. He also put off the next episode until the following Monday, due to it not being in good taste after such an event.
258	* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler: Papaya the Xatu]] in Heartgold, made worse by the fact that she goes out ''just'' as Marriland was starting to like her. Only a few parts later we have [[spoiler: Kale the Alakazam and Green Bean the Onix]], who are brought in to replace Marriland's increasingly numerous losses against Team Rocket, only for them to quickly fall too.
259	** Subverted somewhat with [[spoiler: Scallion the Tauros and Grape the Jumpluff]] in the sense that while they came after [[spoiler: Kale and Green Bean]] and didn't get that much action either, [[spoiler: Grape actually managed to avenge Scallion and kill the Kimono Girls' Jolteon]].
260	** In Emerald, there was [[spoiler: Potato the Swalot]], who died shortly after he got her to evolve from a [[spoiler: Gulpin]] who was left in the box untrained, which he prepared specifically for the purpose of beating Flannery. While it worked to an extent, she too was cut short.
261	** [[spoiler: Kiwi the Lanturn and Wasabi the Hariyama were both introduced before the battle against Red, and both died in the battle. But they contributed so well to the fight this trope was probably averted.]]
262	** [[spoiler: Warbler the Tympole in Black, caught one episode before his death. He never even had a partner.]]
263	** The Y [=WonderWedlocke=] had some of these, but the most jarring were [[spoiler: Zipper the Banette and Ladybug the Ledian, who were added to his team after Lysandre's final showdown. Unfortunately, they both died in their first real battle, against an Ace Trainer on Route 21. In their stead were Gabe Newell the Snorlax and Luchadorable the Hawlucha, who were trained up within two episodes only for the latter to die to the very last Veteran in Victory Road due to missing with High Jump Kick.]]
264	** [[spoiler: Bread the Numel and Peanutbutter the Spinda in the Omega Ruby Wedlocke. Caught in Part 12 and 13 respectively, they both died in their first real battle against Pokémaniac Steve's Aron in Episode 14.]]
265	*** [[spoiler: Likewise, the same can be said about Pitaya the Trapinch, who died in her first fight outside of training, a Machop used by a Black Belt on Route 115.]]
266	** [[spoiler: Marjoram the Shelmet in the X Wedlocke. After being neglected for most of the run due to not being able to evolve into Accelgor because Marriland didn't catch a Karrablast, she got her first chance in Part 48, after the massacre that happened in the previous episode. Sadly, her chance was short-lived, because she died against Calem's Absol during that same episode due to a Night Slash critical hit. Despite this, she almost defeated Calem by herself thanks to the Toxic / Double Team / Protect / Recover strategy, so this could be an aversion.]]
267	* WhamEpisode: In his Emerald Nuzlocke, he defines Episode 15, "In Shock and Awe!" (where he takes on Wattson) as this, claiming that [[spoiler:his starter being killed was the catalyst for the series, and created a more rounded team that made the adventure what led him to really enjoy it.]]
268	** In the same series, Part 28 brings us a huge episode in "The Awful Phone Rings!". [[spoiler: En route to Dewford Town to get the Sludge Bomb TM for Frittata, Omelette the Illumise was [[WhamLine abruptly taken at the hands of a critical hit from one of Fisherman Elliot's Gyarados]]. Shortly after that, upon arriving at Dewford Hall, he discovers that the epic "BIG SERVICE" saying at Dewford Hall was changed to "AWFUL PHONE", which he doesn't take very well. Then, near the end of the episode, he tries to make up for it and end the episode on a positive note by attempting to catch a Tentacool that would do good in Sushi's stead...but then Ravioli the Lombre is taken by that Tentacool from ''yet another'' critical hit with Acid. Needless to say, this episode left him pretty desperate.]]
269	** In the Part 49, [[spoiler:he accidentally walks into a 2v2 battle with two trainers that were hidden below the bridge at the very end, which costs him Lasagna the Sharpedo.]]
270	** On a similar note, [[spoiler: Episode 31 of the Heartgold Wedlocke, "One Last Dance!" Marriland loses almost his entire team]].
271	** Part 44 of the Heartgold Wedlocke [[spoiler: sees Cauliflour the Dewgong, one of Marilland's original Hall of Fame heroes, die in probably ''the'' most unexpected and undignified way imaginable.]] From then on things ''rapidly'' go FromBadToWorse in the journey through Kanto, culminating in...
272	** Part 62, when [[spoiler: Marilland loses Peach and Carrot to Blue, meaning that ''not a single member of his Hall of Fame party'' survived the trip through Kanto.]]
273	** Part 35 of the Platinum Nuzlocke, but not in the way you expect... [[spoiler: Marilland gets his first encounter in Fuego Ironworks, and it's a Magnemite. Then he finds another Magnemite right after... '''and it's SHINY!''']]
274	** Somewhat fittingly, [[spoiler: the Distortion World]] in Platinum. [[spoiler: Marriland's 13-part no death streak is broken, and he has more deaths there than he ever had before.]]
275	** The Black Wedlocke has [[DownerBeginning Episode 3]], Episode 6, Episode 14 and Episode 34.
276	** 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 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.]]
277	* WhamLine: Episode 26 in Emerald "Dueling Daddy to the Death!": [[spoiler:Foe Linoone used Belly Drum!]]
278	%%An attack or ability only counts as a Wham Line if he did not know it had that move AND he loses a Pokémon because of it. If the Pokémon lives it does not count.

309	** Episode 41: [[spoiler: Fettuccine used Crunch! The opposing Froslass avoided the attack! [[note]]Under normal circumstances, Crunch's accuracy is 100, but Froslass's ability is Snow Cloak, which increases their evasion by 25% while in Hail.[[/note]]]]
310	** Also in Episode 41: [[spoiler: Fettuccine is confused! It hurt itself in its confusion!]]
311	** Episode 13 of the X Wedlocke: [[spoiler: Rising Star Didier is about to send in Relicanth.[[note]]Early on during that trainer battle, Marriland was wondering what would he do against a certain trainer's Relicanth on the gym, then when he sees the trainer Marriland is facing, is THAT certain trainer, he was caught off-guard and panicked because he wasn't prepared for it.[[/note]]]]
312	** From the same episode: [[spoiler: The foe's Relicanth used Yawn! [[note]]And this is the moment when Marriland remember why he dreaded Rising Star Didier's Relicanth. This made Thistle to be unable to act for a good couple of turns, until her inevitable death, because Marriland couldn't switch to Sage while he was at 1 HP.[[/note]]]]
313	** Episode 17: [[spoiler: The foe's Hawlucha used Aerial Ace! [[note]]When Marriland saw Battle Girl Hedvig's Hawlucha using this attack while Nutmeg used Protect, he was surprised and not in a good way, because with that attack, now he knew for certain that both Nutmeg and Carob were doomed.[[/note]]]]
314	** Episode 29: [[spoiler: The opposing Garbodor used Sludge Bomb! A critical hit!]]
315	** Episode 47: Video annotation upon entering Victory Road: "Note: I consider all trainers ahead as 'Trainers of Death' in a Wedlocke (with these rules)."
316	** Episode 49: [[spoiler: The foe's Scizor used X-Scissor! [[note]]Marriland was confident in that Lavender would easily survive a second X-Scissor, but the second one ended knocking him out, because Scizor's HP fell to less than 33% after the second Thunderbolt, activating Swarm. Marriland realized this a moment after he was caught by surprise.[[/note]]]]
317	** Episode 20 of the White Nuzlocke Stream Archive: [[spoiler: The wild Zebstrika used Pursuit! [[note]]Marriland just started Audino training Popeops the Archen, but encountered a Zebstrika one tile away from the shaking grass where Audino appear. He's unable to run and takes heavy damage from a Shock Wave, leaving him no choice but to switch out, but the Zebstrika uses pursuit, killing Popeops. [[/note]]]]
318	* WhatTheHellHero: [[DrinkingGame Take a sip]] every time he does this to Broham (see TooDumbToLive above).
319	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He's been uneasy around Jolteons ever since [[spoiler: the one belonging to the Kimono Girls killed three of his Pokémon 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.
320	* XanatosGambit: Some of the people who watch his Nuzlocke series claim the haters are like this in the sense that if nobody on his team dies, the haters will find it boring, but if something dies, the haters will bitch at him saying he should have played it safe.
321	** The trope is actually subverted entirely in Part 21 of Platinum "Coin Flip!", where in the comments, [[spoiler:there are people who are ''actually happy'' about Caesar the Roselia dying to [[WhamLine Horn Drill from PI Carlos' Level 30 Goldeen]]. Thus proving that sometimes, the deaths truly are what haters are out to see.]]
322	* YankTheDogsChain: In his Japanese Leafgreen version, while attempting to catch a Chansey with a Lucky Egg in the Safari Zone, he ran into a shiny Rhyhorn...only to have it flee after two Safari Balls.
323	** In the Heartgold Wedlocke, Episode 15 "Bug Catching Blues!" where he encounters a Scyther in the Bug Catching Contest, but [[spoiler:not only does he fail to catch it, but Cantaloupe dies as he tries to do so. However, some people declared that [[TemptingFate he was to blame for trying to catch it at full health without weakening it with Geodude's Rock Smash]]]].
324	*** In Part 62, [[spoiler: Peach take a critical hit from one of the random trainers in Blue's Gym... and not only ''survives'', but activates [[BerserkButton Anger Point]] for the first time in the entire run.]] Too bad [[spoiler: she wasn't so lucky against Blue himself...]]
325	** Part 49 of Emerald. His first encounter in Victory Road is a Lairon, which uses Roar on the first turn. Then he catches another Lairon he sees with one Ultra Ball he declares he won't use, and nicknames it "Y U RAWR!!". Then, upon arriving at the Pokémon League entrance, he sees it has an ''Adamant'' nature (raises Attack, lowers Special Attack), which would have been the perfect nature for it.
326	** The [=HeartGold=] Wedlocke finale. [[spoiler:Red is down to his last Pokémon, and it looks like Marriland is about to win without losing anyone. Unfortunately, Wasabi the Hariyama is looking pretty beat, and Lapras has Psychic which kills it. Then Kiwi the Lanturn succumbs to a critical hit shortly after.]]
327	** Part 50 of the Black 2 Wedlocke. [[spoiler: Iris sends out Druddigon and Marriland has Gangnam S. stay in, and Blizzard was used in success. Unfortunately, Blizzard does not knock out Druddigon and Gangnam S. falls to a "not very effective" Fire Punch.]]
328	** While this wasn't done on any recorded playthrough, he had an instance that takes this up to eleven: [[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.]]
329	** [[spoiler:Quiche's death]] in the Omega Ruby Wedlocke. [[spoiler:She survives on 1HP... and dies to the opposing Carvanha's Rough Skin.]]
330	* YouFool: Invoked in his X Wedlocke, in which he chooses "Fool" as his character's nickname. The playthrough was originally an {{April Fools\|Day}}' joke, with April as the character's name, which prompts this.
