6th Gen How Will You Start Your Journey?

[Laylaw]

I'll do a Nuzlocke Challenge. It's been a while, and it makes the game more challenging. I'll probably pick Treecko though, since I just bred a perfect Swampert. And other than that, I'll do my best... I hope I won't lose it at some point..

 

[Hermione Granger]

I'll just play it like I always do and that is play through the game normally.

 

[BBHaze]

I can't wait for Ruby but like most people i wont trade anything, feels better going through the game that way.

 

[gnmmarechal]

Ill play with no trading, with a Torchic :D

 

[pyrexpyramids]

I'm going to play the game normally and level up everybody that I want to in order to complete the game at my own pace. As for completing the pokedex, I have a whole living pokedex of all 718 pokemon, so eventually when I beat the story, I'm going to transfer all the pokemon over to ORAS to get another nifty Gamefreak pokedex completion letter, then transfer all my pokes back to X along with Diancie =)

 

[BeachBoy]

Catching Taillow and then sweeping the game with it.

Be afraid, Roxanne.

 

[Bibliophibian]

I'll go through like I always do with new games; keep my starter all the way, and catch Pokémon that I think would be interesting to use. I also try to use Pokémon that I haven't used before if I can.

 

[IceyGamer]

Speed play through like I do with every new pokemon game I get. I don't worry about EVs, IVs, or how low leveled my team is. I get to the end then worry about what I am going to do next after finishing the post-game.

 

[Shrew]

I'll play it like Ash did in Hoenn, by not transfering any pokemon over until I wrap up the Pokemon League. :P And if there's a Battle Frontier, I'll use pokemon obtained from other games.

I'll just use Mudkip. I considered also using a Torchic side-by-side because its the only Hoenn fire type I like, but decided that the whole "reset for multiple starters" thing will never be my thing. I definitely will not be using the shiny Beldum. I might try to trade with someone for a Zangoose because I'll be playing Alpha Sapphire, though.

 

[Makau]

The idea of playing Sapphire and Alpha Sapphire at the same time has been floating around in my head for a while. I'm not sure if I'll do it yet.

 

[oshizlgzngahr]

I'm probably going to do a regular play through with the starter being my mega and the shiny beldum not mega evolving, then doing a wonderlocke in the next play through of it.

 

[oshimas]

i never got to play through the original game, so i might just go through like how i normally will with pokemon games, using my starter and training new pokemon along the way. there's some pokemon from that region i've been wanting to try out too. and maybe that shiny beldum might stay in the box for now till i can ev train it.

 

[LightBlast]

I have felt that I played the original way too fast, so I will take my time to enjoy the beauty of the scenery in 3D.

 

[Venitardus]

ill be playing like i do every other game, play through one game with only the games dex, the other with traded ones.

 

[HollyYoshi]

I'll just play through the game normally for my first time.

 

[Hiatus]

I'll likely be starting off my journey like I always do--as a new player. Or adventurer, if you will. Meaning, I'll be starting off with a starter Pokémon, catching anything I'm able to find, train, evolve, and try building a team off them while still travelling from place-to-place, defeating Gym Leaders and bad guys.

I will be transferring some of my Pokémon from Y version at some point, but that will be after I'm done playing through story-line and post-game. Would need them, mainly due to battling online and whatnot.

 

[ShadowEdge]

First picking Mudkip then finding a flying type as soon as possible then maybe get a poochyena

 

[SproutTower]

Mudkip then Poochyena.
Then I'll trade over a Bellsprout :P

 

[Bellsprout]

idk I still haven't decided between torchic or treecko yet... I'm kind of waiting till the last possible week before the game comes out so I have all the information I need to create the team I'll be happy with most.

I may use the gts to get some Pokemon I want if I really need to, but I don't plan on trading anything over from other games.

 

[ZenonPrototype]

idk I still haven't decided between torchic or treecko yet... I'm kind of waiting till the last possible week before the game comes out so I have all the information I need to create the team I'll be happy with most.

If you are deciding between the two, pick the one you don't want. Chances are, those two will be highly picked among other trainers, and so then you can just trade for the starters you actually want. But, it is only a suggestion.

My normal style of play usually revolves around just catching the first thing that moves and seeing how far I make it that way first. The technique and style comes in after I feel safe with saying that the game is harder than X/Y
