And to those who don't care about spoilers, need a recap on the story, or have played through the game and did every nook and cranny in the game, you are all welcome to stay and enjoy the experience.

 

 

Hello everyone that happens upon this post.

 

As the title says, I will be doing my first intense mode run.

 

For some time now I've been pondering whether I should start to do my first run of intense mode before or after V13 drops.  I even made a post about whether or not I should do it after V13 since I never played Gen 8 and I was actually thinking I should do my intense mode run after V13.  As time when on, I thought how about I do the run now just so I can see how it is going to be changed in the next version of the game and that I need to do something in my spare time while waiting for the next version update, so here I am writing this post before I even get to do my Intense mode run. Guess I rambled on about this for a bit, then it is time for me to explain how I am going to do this run.

 

How I am going to do my run:

 

1. I am going to catch every available Pokemon in the game because I really want to mix and match my team a lot for each Side Quest Boss, Rift Pokemon, Team Xen Bosses, Rival Battles, Legendaries, and Gym Leaders.

 

2. I will use debug mode just for IVs since I don't really want to spend my entire time hatching eggs and trying my luck to see if I get Perfect IVs.

 

3. I have to pick all of the good choices and do all of the side quest since I'm a sucker for being Mr. Goody Two Shoes and I want to get the best outcome for everyone.

 

4. No Torchic or Froakie because I want my first experience to be a good one and having those two Pokemon can make Mid-Game easier than it should be.

 

5. Nickname all of my Pokemon either with names that fit their personality or may be cool in my mind but look dumb for others.

 

6. I am going to soft reset for each time I lost during an important battle because I don't really want to lose first time and lose money or get negative relationship points. (but I will put down the amount of times I did lose)

 

7. I will be using guides to help me because I'll need the help a lot for all of these battles that are going to be coming up in my near future.

 

That is all of my rules on my run, next is how I'll be telling my experience and what strategies I'm doing for all of these battles.

 

So, I will be telling my experience through journal entries that the main protagonist is writing on their way through the Aevium Region, each entry will be about each chapter that I have done.  The journal will be in italics and my own commentary will just be normal just to differentiate between the two.

 

After I am done the journal entry for a chapter, I'll write down how badly or well I did during the battles within those chapters.  I'll even write down why I chose to use certain Pokemon for different fights, like for example use Pyukumuku and Shuckle for two certain double battles (Yes, I will be using those Pokemon together for some double battles because I think it will be funny.)

 

So, that is it on how I will be doing my run.  Thank you everyone for taking your time for reading or skimming over this post.  It will take me a while to update on this post since I need to complete each chapter and write down the story and important things I did during this run.  Hope you all will enjoy my first experience.
