Let's Play! Pokémon Emerald 3
← back to part 2
← absol information
Let's get this party started right now!
The answer is always "fight".
Now let's see what this baby can do!
Not too bad. Standard starter set, really.
I don't think normal starters have elemental
moves so early, but I could be wrong.
Kind of a foregone conclusion, really.
Poor little Zigzagoon... :(
Not a whole lot, but come on, that Zigzagoon
was pretty much a cub. Level 2 just doesn't
give out the same experience as level 5.
Why did you leave your Pokémon in your bag?
They make belts to carry Pokéballs on, you know.
You're welcome. :)
?
How'd you know that? Is the town so small
you instantly recognise a newcomer? Are you
Sherlock Holmes, that you figure it out so fast?
Yeah, we could be jumped by Poochyena at any moment.
Apparently Prof. Birch is capable of teleportation.
....wait, you have? Dad talks about me?
Mom said not until I'm ten, but then we moved so...
Thank you! The Absol listened to me, at any rate. :)
....
"used earlier."
...oh. Thank you.
Like a moron, I forgot to screencap that.
"an extremely good TRAINER"
...not really, professor. :/
We've met. He thou...oh, fine. I'll find him.
:/
Yes, sir.
Now, let's check out our new Pokémon!
This is our party page. The Pokémon on the
left part of the screen is the first in your party.
As such, when you get into a battle, that
Pokémon is the one who goes into battle.
According to Bulbapedia, Pressure also ups
the encounter rate of higher-levelled Pokémon
by 50%. An Adamant nature raises a Pokémon's
attack, but in return lowers its Sp. Attack.
Ignore that Master Ball. It's there in case of
the unlikely event of a shiny appearing in-game.
I will be running this game without cheats --
I used A-Starter to change the starters and add
the Master Ball as a hold item.
SCRATCH
Power: 40
Accuracy 100
Appeal: ♥♥♥♥
Jam: ---
Normal: Scratches the foe with sharp claws
Tough: A highly appealing move.
LEER
Power: ---
Accuracy: 100
Appeal: ♥♥♥
Jam: ---
Normal: Frightens the foe with a leer to lower DEFENCE
Cool: Temporarily stops the crowd from growing excited.
We will talk more about Contests when we run into them.
Welp, let's get this show back on the road!
So am I, to be honest. Even if his son needs
to think before he opens his yap hole.
But I think I'm going to get some sleep before
I set off on any life-altering journeys.
It's been kind of a long day, yeah.
So do I. Goodnight, Mom.
♪♫ pokémon centre music ♫♪
You too, Mom! :)
All righty, time for take two with Brendan.
Oh, I see! I'll head out there, then.
.....I'll just hope that's only the case in your family, ma'am.
It's like I came this way only yesterday.
I'd better make sure the Prof didn't drop
anything in here yesterday.
Of course it did.
And use SCRATCH while you're at it!
I suspect my laddie here will be levelling quickly.
No, that isn't a glitch, that's me capping that
shot mid-battle-transition like a boss.
One SCRATCH later, and...
Like I said.
In case anyone is keeping track of the EVs.
Somehow, my friend, I'd gathered that.
I'll keep that in mind.
I'll be certain to do so, young sir!
....I don't suppose you know the way to Goodale Town?
Along the way to Oldale Town, Lilium
encountered two more Poochyenas with
predictable results....
'For our Blessed Lady's sake...'
If anyone tells you they don't go to a
Pokémon Centre immediately on entering
a new town, they are lying.
Or just wasted some Potions.
This is not a thing we will be using.
They sure are!
*gasp* SOCIALISM!
Naturally.
People give poor Nurse Joy such a hard time
about this line. :( It means she hopes the child
whose Pokémon was just tended will return safely.
The world of Pokémon is horribly dangerous.
Hmm, I wonder what's in here?
They do indeed!
"away from here."
I guess so, but I really don't have any interest
in roaming far off. I'd rather get to know the
local areas first.
Hi! I'm too young to have a job yet. :(
....okay, but I've got an Absol with me.
doo doo-doo, doo doo-doo...
Will do!
Oh, awesome! Imma catch me a Zigzagoon!
:o pressie?
Huh. I wonder what's over he--
OH CHRIST WHAT LET GO
WHAT THE HELL MAN
THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU
CAN JUST GRAB ME, ASSHOLE
GOD, FINE.
Jerk.
Let's go check out the PokéMart.
Well, this looks like a nice little shop.
:< But I want a Zigzagoon....
Well, there's no helping it.
Might as well find Brendan.
Along the way I ran into another Poochyena.
I have two. :D
....crap, there he is.
Maybe I should just leave him here...
No, I promised his father I'd talk to him.
:<
Hey Brendan.
!
Yeah, your da--
Yes, he s--
I don't--
W--
Giratina take him to Distortion World.
PKMN TRAINER LILIUM
would not. :(
Yeah, I didn't realise I'd fucked up A-Starter
until this point. Oops. Too late now.
I'm wondering if I should vid plot-relevant battles. What do you guys think?
The difference a mere two levels makes.
....whoa.
TAUNT
Power: ---
Accuracy: 100
Appeal: ♥♥
Jam: ---
Dark: Taunts the foe into only using attack moves.
Smart: Makes all POKéMON after the user nervous.
....yeah...
Maybe I do...
"on you."
Because he's friends with my dad?
....you're right. :)
That's a great idea. I'll try that!
Okay, let's go back.
In the upcoming updates, we will be running into the following Pokémon:
Poochyena
Zigzagoon
Wurmple
Wingull
Seedot
Lotad
Ralts
Surskit
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to pick which pokémon or which name and gender I should add to my party. Keep in mind that Zigzagoon and Ralts are for certain going to be in, and I'll be choosing them by nature.
See you for the next update!
