X: Did just one thing here today, which was another PokeRadar try. Today's target was Karrablast which was good enough for me. I went to Route 14 and managed to get a chain quite quickly, but it also broke quickly as usual due to a Carnivine. Got my 5th Ultra Ball from the Radar researcher. Had planned to do one more thing here today but it didn't happen so I'll get started on it tomorrow instead.
Y: Finally got this game today, had wanted to get it earlier but it didn't happen. Better late than never I guess. Anyway, I started and went through all introductory stuff, found myself in Vaniville Town. Switched from pajamas to regular clothes and went downstairs, talked to my mother who told me to try and make some friends with the neighbors. Not a bad idea. I headed out and met my neighbor and Shauna, they told me to head to Aquacorde, then they headed off there themselves. I explored Vaniville before going there, but didn't find anything interesting. So I headed out to Route 1 and continued to Aquacorde.
There, I met my two friends and two others. We talked a bit, they gave me a nickname and me, Shauna and my neighbor (to be main rival) got to choose a starter Pokemon. I went with Fennekin. I also got a Pokedex and a love letter from Professor Sycamore which I was told to deliver to my mother. So I had to go back to Vaniville, but before I could, Shauna challenged me to a battle. I won against her and her Chespin. Then I headed back to Vaniville and gave the letter to my mother, it told her that the Professor loved her more than anything in the world and that he wanted to marry her... at least in either of their dreams, probably not in reality.
I left her and my new hometown, headed back through Route 1 to Aquacorde. Explored the city but didn't find much here either, just two shops, one for Potions and the other for Poke Balls. Also got a Potion for free from a kind man. Continued out to Route 2 where my rival and Shauna showed me how to catch Pokemon. I also got a bunch of Poke Balls to use on my own. Walked around in the grass and caught a bunch of Pokemon: Fletchling, Bunnelby, Scatterbug, Pidgey and Zigzagoon. Then I went back to Aquacorde to buy more Poke Balls. Back on Route 2, I battled a Youngster here, then I entered Santalune Forest. Shauna decided to team up with me to some extent: I did the battling and she healed my Pokemon when I needed that.
We traveled through the forest, meeting our other friends along the way as well. I battled all trainers, picked up all items and captured Caterpie, Metapod, Pikachu, Pansage, Pansear and Panpour. Then we exited the forest, all five together, and found ourselves at Route 3. We talked a little before heading off, each of us doing our own things. On the Route, I battled all trainers and picked up all items that I could get, though there were parts of the Route I couldn't access yet, will have to come back here later. I also caught Bidoof and Azurill. Then I had arrived at Santalune City. Entered the Pokemon Center, Tierno entered after me and explained to me how the Center and the Shop worked. Very kind of him, this is the kind of friend I like. I healed my party and switched some of my Pokemon at the PC, then I saved for the day.
