![]() ![]() Although I have a couple of friends who are playing Pokemon for the first time, so the tutorial was actually helpful (he said he just threw a Pokeball at the Pokemon, which since the Pokemon are like level 2, worked anyway), but every game, I wish you could skip it.Īside from my self-imposed rule of not looking anything up, I made another self-imposed rule of using only new Pokemon for my in-game team, aside from the Kanto starter. Look, I already have caught Pokemon, I don’t need to be shown how! Had my hopes up that there would be the tutorial. I find it funny how in this game, you were able to catch Pokemon before the game gives you the (unforunately manditory) tutorial. The first Pokemon I ran into and caught was Pidgey. There’s two shops, but no Pokemon Center, so if you went through the E4 without a flyer, you have to go through Santalune forest… It wasn’t until I finished the game and started doing Elite 4 runs did I notice that the first town does not have a Pokemon Center! Aquacorde is so useless. It seems in this game, at level 5, your starter already has an elemental move, so the first starter battle isn’t just a Tackle/Pound/Leer/Tailwhip war of attrition. So for me, Calem (who totally looks weird without a hat) has Froakie, and Shauna has Chespin. One of your friends takes the starter you’re weak to, and the other takes the starter you’re strong against. ![]() The second exciting thing is that you start off with the running shoes, though the game never tells you to press B to run…. The first exciting thing I noticed was that I could finally fit “MapleRose” in as my trainer name! Though I picked “Rose” as my nickname. When I started playing, I haven’t seen the starters’ final evolutions yet, so seeing my starter grow and evolve into something new was pretty cool too. I picked Fennekin, despite also wanting to use Charizard and Talonflame. It was an interesting experience, not always knowing how Pokemon evolved, what they evolved into, and finding out on my own. I didn’t even know how many new Pokemon were added when I started playing. I did know about the 20 or so Pokemon that were revealed before release, and some Mega evolutions. I wanted to start a wild encounter, and see a Pokemon I’ve never seen before jumping out, and when I evolved Pokemon I wanted to wait and see what it turns into. I did this because I wanted to experience the game without much prior knowledge, especially the Pokemon. Resisted looking at leak info, and even stopped looking at the official site. In fact, after I finished writing this, it was so long that I made a table of contents… I’m sorry, didn’t mean to write a whole essay, lol.Ī couple of days before X and Y came out, I stopped going to any Pokemon sites. I tend to ramble on sometimes ^^ Final play time Also, warning that this post is looooong. Also, there will be spoilers, so if you care about spoilers, I recommend at least beating the Elite 4 before reading on. This post contains my thoughts on the game based on my experience. ![]() I beat the Elite 4 after about 51 hours (spanned across 7 days, since I did have to work), and have been breeding and evolving Pokemon for my Pokedex. So for the past couple of weeks, I’ve been playing Pokemon every chance I got. ![]()
