So to hide spoilers for those that do not want to read anything prior to playing the game I have this gap at the start. After this gap, spoils thar be matey! *YARRR*
So, started off and found you literally got to pick all 18 starters....and I was sad it wasn't 19. I was someone whom started with Pokemon yellow then played red and blue. So Pikachu would have been my instant pick. I was tempted to take a fire type as in my opinion, outside starters and legendarys there are no fire types that synergies to me. That being said, never taken Froakie and it is a Ninja so... why not. I named him Zed
I have a huge dislike for normal types, and wanted to try out some Pokemon I've not had before. I also do not like doubling up on types, unless I'm running my poison gym team. Runnign around outside the starting building, didn't find much I wanted and Zed rapidly hit lvl 12. At this point, I decided to explore a bit. Along the bridge I saw a Pachirisu. However I needed two Pokemon to fight for it...so went else where. I walked east a while and found this garden area and...no weedles. For what bugs are, I wanted a weedle but alas I found none. I walked back west to a secluded area to a random bin and miss hit trying to turn and grab an item and instead opened a bin to find a Pokemon - GULPIN. I have found this pokemon the only time in this game so far, so I am glad I got it. I named it Tahm Kench.
I decided to go back and pick up a bidoof from the starting area after seeing someone wanting to trade a bibarell for a pink Pokemon. I thought...its a trade why not. After a bit of battling I got bidoof to evolve and traded...expecting a igglybuff or snubble instead getting a muna, a pink Pokemon I actually like! I still need to rename this Pokemon at the rater...I will name it Vel'Koz.
I ended up adding a Poochyena and a Panpour which are currently just placement holders/reserve pokemon if my other 4 go down. My main 4 are lvl 16 and the other 2 are lvl 12. However I want to find something rock/ground/steel typed. Heck I might even go get a noibat from an area I found earlier. Sadly the first gym is electric so even with noibat I have effectively only 3 Pokemon to fight this gym with...
Will I find a pokemon type good against electric types? Will I man up and fight this gym already? Will I bother to go a rename the Muna? FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON PcP Z!
