Note that I spent a very long time tonight trying to find a good working ROM, so this update is shorter than I meant it to be. :(
Christmas in Unova
Part 1: The Gift
So I start up my game, and immediately get thrown into the basic explanation of what Pokemon is and why I should care about them as my friends and not as battling creatures.
Did anyone else notice she kinda looks like a skinnier Mrs. Claus? Connections...
So then she asks me for my gender, I went with girl because I'm a girl and I feel weird playing someone other than my own gender. Took me a little bit to come up with a name (MrsClaus was too long and so was MaryChristmas), but in the end I came up with:
Thought of the name because I had a friend when I was in high school who was named Noelle because she was born on Christmas Day.
Juniper introduced me to my best friends (who I've supposedly known for years but also just met now). THEN SHE GIVES ME A CHRISTMAS PRESENT OMG.
Of course, as the most awesome of the characters, I get to open the present because opening it is the most fun. Despite the lack of visible airholes, there are Pokemon inside! It happened to get delivered to my house so I get to pick which one I'd like first. I pick out my cute little Snivy and then get to fight Bianca and Cheren. Of course I whoop their butts (is there anyone who loses on the first fight?). My mom cleans up my room for me. Typical Christmas, parents doing all the work while the kids go out and play.
I'm blocked off from the lab for now so I go visit silly Bianca and get to see her parents tell her she can't be a trainer. So sad. So she runs out with me and goes to the lab, where I meet them and go inside. I finally get the chance to nickname my Snivy.
Juniper gives us the regular spiel of "catch all the Pokemon for me!". I'm assuming it's because it's Christmas and she's going to give the Pokemon to deserving children. She then leads us out to Route 1 and shows us how to catch Pokemon, and gives us Poke Balls. I decide from then on that I'm only going to use Poke Balls, because look at them! They look so much more like Christmas than any other ball!
So I know the first gym is going to be tough without that Panpour that I didn't account for so I decided to do a bit of grinding on Route 1 until I felt I was high enough level or got bored. I also gave Garland a Potion to hold because that was all I had.
Garland thinks it's the worst gift ever. I'm sorry Garland ;;
So at that point I decided that was enough and moved on to tell Bianca and Cheren that I had failed the capture contest. Aww. Just then, I got a call from Professor Juniper that had all four of us in the conversation even though the three of us were all right next to each other:
I THINK SHE'S GOING TO SHOW US CHRISTMAS LIGHTS YOU GUYS
To be continued...
