I am still so in love with this game. It's the first time I've ever considered buying the alternative version of a Pokemon game just so I can play it through again with different Pokemon.
Speaking of which, the new generation of Pokemon have definitely grown on me even though I find I'm falling in love with a great many of the pre-evo stages and not loving the fully evolved stages. I don't want my Darumakka, Palpitoad or Drilbur to evolve!
I've been running around and catching various different critters, swapping out team members and training. I've just arrived in Driftveil City and my team is as follows:
Yamato the Servine (Jolly) ~ Konan the Drilbur (Impish) ~ Frosch the Palpitoad (Serious) ~ Wren the Darumakka (Adamant) ~ Mikael the Emolga (Modest)
(Palpitoad's animated sprite makes me giggle. The growths on its head look like jiggling knockers.)
Currently: Training my Emolga to catch up with the others (all Level 30). When that's done, I'm off to whip Team Plasma in Cold Storage.
My 6th spot is currently empty after ditching my Tranquil and Zebstrika. To be honest, there are so many cute little buggers in this game I can't decide on who should be my final team member.
And to carry on from my previous post, more nuances and minor details that make me happy:
- The girl character in this gen is so cool. I can't help staring at her arse every time she throws a pokeball at the beginning of a battle though.
- XTransceiver calls!
- I've mentioned it before but the musiiiic. I love the tune of Lostlorn Forest.
- Changing seasons. I'm still in Autumn (why, by the way?) and I can't wait to see what Spring, Summer and Winter look like.
- Vanillite. I know it's an absurd addition but it's adorable. I am half tempted to have one.
I am such a geek.
