The Wonderful World of Pokemon

 

Ok so i've been playing non-stop for six hours. I've JUST beaten the first totem Pokemon  Yeah, i've been messing about a bit and trying to explore EVERYTHING but don't let anyone convince you this game is short. The first trial captain almost swept me even tho i was 3 levels higher. Sweeping me with a smeargle no less. I was able to OHKO totem raticate with Trumbeak tho because 4x weakness from Brick Break. However, I expect the other trials to drag me when i'm not prepared enough for them

 

Team:

Brionne - 17
Trumbeak - 15
Cutiefly - 13

I have to wait til next Wednesday because I live in Germany

I bought a new 2ds a few months back and set it to australia the moment i got it, purely for SM. and then bought SM from the aus eshop  

So now. I'm 18 and a half hours into the game and I've JUST gotten to Island #3 (and beat Hau there coz I didn't really have time to save beforehand). My team is:

Primarina - 35 @Waterium Z - Scald, Sparking Aria, Psychic, Disarming Voice
Lurantis - 34 @Grassium Z - Leech Life, Synthesis, Leaf Blade, Growth
Salazzle - 34 @Firium Z - Flame Burst, Nasty Plot, Dragon Rage, Venoshock
Toucannon - 33 @Sharp Beak - Beak Blast, Roost, Fury Attack, Brick Break
Ribombee - 33 @Silver Powder - Psychic, Draining Kiss, Stun Spore, Pollen Puff

 

Last night, after beating the first trial, I went and did the Kahuna - who I bodied with Cutiefly  - and then rematched Ilmia which went smoother than the first time tbh, but his Gumshoos was a bit tricky. Then onto island #2 where I did some stuff and went to do Lana's trial. I got REALLY lucky. I was able to 2HKO TotemWashi with Rain boosted Scald, and instead of summoning Alomomola with Heal Pulse, it summoned little bitch wishiwashi so it was easy in that sense. Next up was the Battle Royal dome which I enjoyed and won with the newly caught Fomantis. Kwin. Can't wait to do more BRs when my team are lv50+. Then onto Kiawe's trial. I found his trial a hilarious mess with the hiker and the totem photobombing nnn. Salazzle stood no chance tho as Brionne was like 8 levels higher and OHKO'd with WateriumZ + Scald. Biggest challenge at this time was Iilmia's Smeargle. 

And then came Mallow's trial. Lord. I loved searching for the ingredients tbh. All the little things as part of it and things jumping out. it was great. but then the totem Lurantis battle (the way she sneaked up behind you too; such a talent). and she was the hardest thing so far by miles. My Salandit's Flame Burst + FiriumZ didn't even OHKO and then she healed with Synthesis whilst summoning Castform to Water Gun my ass out. And after killing it with Ribombee, she summoned Trumbeak to deal with it. Finally beat them with Toucannon's beak blast but i was slayed.  Best moment so far.

Then it was off to battle Olivia and Plumeria caught me off guard i wasn't even prepared this bitch  Beat ha and Olivia and then on the way to Aether Paradise. MESS @ the story element here with Hau. This dumbass  not even gonna mention but you'll all see it when he says something and her reaction. (not about her age, about another character). And then the UB01 appeared with a defense boost. OHKO'd it with Z-Sparking Aria tho coz i was prepared.. Then on the way to Ula Ula Island, battled Hau when I got there and bitch had Alola Raichu and I didn't really have anything for it so Ribombee took a lot of damage from it  But survived coz it loved me. Poor Hau. And then I saved  

 

Yesterday, I was liking the game but not meltdowning. I wouldn't say I'm meltdowning coz maybe I'm more mature now but I'm absolutely loving it today. Mallow's trial was amazing and my favorite part so far. I also noticed I'm a bit overlevelled and its because I'm using EXP. Share AND Pokemon Refresh. Refresh gives me boosted EXP but I won't be doing it in future playthroughs. It was fun for the first playthrough tho. So yeah I'm lovin it and I hope those who have it rn are loving it too, and my fellow europeans get it asap.  

I am going through this not using z-moves I'm shook

I'm almost done  33 hours into the game. JUST caught Lunala and on my way to the E4/Victory Road tomorrow. My current team:

Primarina (57) @PrimariumZ - Moonblast, Sparkling Aria, Energy Ball, Blizzard
Lurantis (56) @GrassiumZ - Leech Life, Brick Break, Leaf Blade, Swords Dance
Salazzle (56) @FiriumZ - Flamethrower, Dragon Pulse, Will O Wisp, Sludge Wave
Ribombee (56) @FairiumZ - Psychic, Dazzling Gleam, Quiver Dance, Pollen Puff
Toucannon (56) @FlyniumZ - Beak Blast, Roost, Bullet Seed, Brick Break
Mimikyu (56) @GhostiumZ - Shadow Claw, Swords Dance, Leech Life, Play Rough
 

I've honestly loved the last half of the game so much. I've enjoyed the whole game but the story REALLY kicked in after the second island and it was so dramatic, the region looked fucking gorgeous and everything was so well done. I'm slayed. Can't wait to trounce the E4 and play again when my UK copies come. 

Fuck you all
