Pokemon?

So my awesome girlfriend Maddison bought me Pokemon X for Christmas. I've never played Pokemon before (outside of Walmart demos as a child), for various reasons (not having a handheld system high among them, but higher being the "not allowed to because it's evil" thing). As an adult I've never really thought too hard about it. After Brickfair 2012, where we left the bus station after watching Andi play some, I attempted to download an emulator and play through some, but they never worked right (that's what you get, right?)

 

So this is a new experience for me. I'm ~18 hours in, and I'm probably playing through this super slow (I just turned the power plant back on by... having two really easy battles?) But it's fun!

 

I picked Fennekin as my starter, because it was the cutest of the three. This is how I'm playing the game. Don't judge me. I've only caught Pokemon for my own collection that are somewhat adorable. I don't want any ugly ones. Sorry to all the ugly Pokemon.

 

I have bonded deeply with Mr Feeny (the name I gave my Fennekin, who is now a Lv.54 Delphox), and it's way too adorable to see it continue to basically purr at me and keep avoiding attacks because of hearts. It is adorable. <3

 

My team currently consists of:

- Mr Feeny the Delphox

- Blaziken I can't give a nickname too because Nintendo gave him to me

- Lucy the Lucario

- Agumon the Charizard

- Quacklin' the... Farfetch'd? I had to stop and realized I've never paid much attention to what he is. He is amazing though and I love that he's "jolly"

- DeeveeEevee the Sylveon

 

My current method is "be ridiculously more leveled up than the wild Pokemon I just stumbled into slash the random NPC who wants to battle", and it seems to be working, so my team is not very well-balanced. I enjoy the amount of times the game goes "that move wasn't very effective" as the opposing Pokemon faints in one hit.

 

I am enjoying this game, even though I still don't understand basically any of the matchups besides "fire beats grass beats water beats fire" and "fairy beats dragon who tried to break the game".

 

But it is so much fun! And Mr Feeny is totes adorbs you guys.

 

Like wow.

 

Totes adorbs.

 

(I love him)

Lots of people have good mnemonics for remembering type matchups. My personal favorite is the one for fighting dealing half damage to flying.

 

HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO PUNCH A BIRD

Glad to hear you're enjoying it. And Fennekin is totally the best choice this generation. :3

 

But really? Farfetch'd is cute? :P

I mean, he's so jolly. Plus he was a gift from some random NPC for a scary giant bunny. But I mean, have you seen the way he carries that plant with him? Adorable.

Bunnies are not scary. :( Especially not Bunnelsby. I love that cute little guy. His evolution Diggersby... eh, yeah, okay.

 

But thank you for pointing out to me that I never did any of the in-game trades (since I forgot about them haha) and still haven't claimed that Farfetch'd. xP
