Okay, with only seven votes on the previous blog's poll I just went with the one who had the most votes: Oshawott is the winner. And since my plans got shifted due to a last-minute issue I ended up with a free day instead of doing various errands with mom. So, now on with the show.
Log #1
Got my starter, a male Oshawott with a Serious nature. I named him Ren after the Shield Hero swordsman (both because he wields swords and because he's a Chuunibyou, and since H-Samurott is part Dark-type, you can put the pieces together yourselves). So it was off to the Obsidian Fieldlands to complete my trail. Needless to say, despite not having played in a while I got back into the swing of things relatively easy. Which means the trial was completed with flying colors. Now I'm part of the Survey Corps. Got into my new Survey Corps uniform and met Kamado and got flipped. Literally.
Now it's time to start the first parts of completing the dex. Caught a bunch of Mons, including an Eevee that I've since added to the ranks (for now) and easily got to Rank 1. After a brief celebration and having to battle my rival's Pikachu (which I stupidly led with Ren since I forgot the Mon you lead with is the one that's highlighted on the X scroll bar), which resulted in him getting paralyzed, forcing me to switch out. After my Eevee (named Dusk, as I plan to use an Umbreon for a while for its defensive prowess until Ren fully evolves) finished off Pikachu it was on to help Mai. But, obviously, that means I had to prove myself to her. And Ren did exactly that, taking down her Munchlax (albeit barely) and now it's off to Deertrack Heights.
But first, since I can now cross the bridge I started catching several Mons that I couldn't before like Zubat, Kricketot, Geodude, and Stantler. I'm trying to find a Chimchar so I can use it as my Fire-type but it hasn't spawned yet so I'll have to check back some other time. I've also been doing a few side-quests but I haven't completed all of them (still searching for that damn 2'8" or higher Buizel and still filling out Starly's/Kricketot's dex entry).
Since I'm still mapping out my team I'm not sure if I should go with Wyrdeer or Alakazam for a Psychic Mon. Gardevoir would be preferred but I'd have to wait until the Crimson Mirelands before I can catch a Ralts and I'd rather have a decent Special Attacker sooner rather than later. I'm also debating on a Roserade for a Grass Mon due to it being fast and strong but, again, that's the Crimson Mirelands. Or maybe I should go with Toreterra? Any suggestions are fine.
Anyway, to top this entry off I got Ren and Dusk to evolve into Dewott and Umbreon, respectively, while also getting a Shinx that was part of my team to a Luxio. Hopefully the next time I boot up the game I can find Chimmy.
Current Team:
Ren (Dewott, male, 17)
Dusk (Umbreon, male, 14)
Mime Jr. (male, 13)
Luxio (male, 15)
Ponyta (female, 12)
Drifloon (male, 11)
