And these three updates only cover 9 minutes of playtime, and even then only because I kept the game running while doing screenshots.
...I probably should condense this LP more, then.
So, here we are:
In the middle of a cave, having just won our first battle. Now to finally get out of here. After exploring every inch of the cave first. There isn't much here, just a couple of NPCs:
A little girl with a Mudkip.
A
Shiny Mudkip. Nice.
Attagirl. That Shiny will be better than those mean normal-colored Mudkips.
And there's that weird old guy. The other weird old guy I mean.
"Those Team Olympus goons are up to no good again, aren't they?"So this isn't the first time they've executed a city-wide massacre?
He also gave me a Potion.
"Beat Team Olympus for us old folks, will you?"I was going to beat them for destroying my hometown and possibly killing my mother, but sure, why not?
And then there's the worthless intern.
Good to see you! Use those Pokéballs against Team Olympus, ok?"Err, how? You just told me I can't use them on other trainers' Pokémon!
And on the way out, we find RUNNING SHOES, which let us run around holding the Z key. Somehow, Bellsprout keeps up with me.
Now, finally out of the cave.
Our first look at Zarivar Town. And it's night time, because I just realized the game uses your system clock for the game's time, and it's around 7PM when I wrote this. This actually surprised me.
First, a look around town before we head to the Professor's Lab, despite the fact that it's first building to the east.
In the opposite corner from the Escape Route we just left, is the Pokémon Center, to refill the PP used by Bellsprout in the battle before, all three of them. Hey it's a free service, excepting of course the massive tax rates to support universal pet healthcare. I mean, where else does Nurse Joy's paycheck come from?
To pass the time while Bellsprout has already been healed before I could walk away, I talk to this guy.
Do you have a hero?
My hero is probably Red or Brendan... those two trainers are just so cool!"Red is alright, but Brendan is a sexist prick that I always played as Mae just to kick the crap out of him.
Did you read him his rights? Hahaha...
No seriously, did you?
That's so cool!"Squee! I have a fangirl!
The other guy just talks about the Gym Leaders and Elite Four.
Here's the map of Vesryn Region that was on the wall. Zarivar is marked there on the northwest, Nyasa is(was) to the west, and Superior City is to the south past Naragex Forest.
Before leaving the Pokémon Center, I grab a Potion out of my PC Box.
The local Pokémart. The chef on the left just says he's looking for rare and exotic ingredients. In a Pokémon pharmacy. The other guy is just looking for Repels, WHICH THEY DON'T SELL HERE. Just Potions and Pokéballs.
And the description of the Pokéball:
Who the crap translated that? I buy 5 of them.
And leaving, we talk to this kid:
I'm sure she also told him about good touching and bad touching, and that bad touching is only for Mommies and Daddies and lone pathetic teenagers.
The house next to the kid didn't have anything, except I found another Potion in the trash.
Now, off to see the Professor.
"Lets get down to business. I'm not entirely sure where your MOM is, but I'm planning to meet up with her later."I just had a thought. Who the hell is my dad?
"She's out recruiting allies to help fight against Team Olympus."Yay! Mommy's not dead!
"I'll see if I can keep you in contact with her."Cool!
"In the meantime, I need a favor.Crap.
"One of the students in the school just south of my lab is starting an internship with me. Can you go fetch him for me? I would appreciate it."Can't you go send your other intern? Of course not, so I go to the school. In the next update.
