The Journey Begins
Aug. 18th, 2012 04:13 pmHere we go. Limited edition Zelda 3DS in hand, Pokemon white game in, let's do this. First off, the rules:
1. We're going for 100% complete Pokedex here. All 646 Pokemon (as I look this up, I see that there's a newly discovered Pokemon that will be released as an event Pokemon. Bugger).
2. All the Pokemon will be caught by myself where possible. If I need to find and purchase an older version of the game to do so, this will be done.
3. Certain Pokemon will be held on a friend's game simply due to difficulty of getting. Event Pokemon fall into this category. Specifically, Victini.
4. Due to my own O.C.D., all catchable pokemon will be caught in regular pokeballs. Including legendaries. The safari zone is excluded from this rule.
5. no shinies. Let's be real, people. The odds of finding one is more than 1 in 8000 encounters, plus the overlap of pokemon in grasses, plus actually catching it. They're just a nice bonus for now. Male, female and regional variants maybe.
The game is on and I'm staring at the blank blue screen asking if I want to delete all saved data. This is it. Fresh start. Ish. I actually have to do this twice more so I have the starters.
running for the starters is more annoying than it sounds. Ive got to start a new game, get my starter, battle my two friends, race to the first town, beat N, kick my friends again, kick the gym, kick team plasma, and then i get the c-gear and can trade off my starters to my friend's game. Twice.
