Plaid does a nuzlocke

Okay!

Not a lot of interesting stuff happened early on so i'm going to skip it till we turn up at Aquacorde Town, where you meet your friends and first pokemon.

First things first: My friends need to call me something because i guess Plaid isn't good enough for them



Yeah, that sounds about right.


Anyway. I used a random number generator and rolled a 1, so my new best bud is apparently Chespin! He likes long walks on the beach, sunsets, and stuffing his face with the pink pokepuffs.

Say hello to Teacup.



He is apparently brave and strongly defiant. God knows how i managed to get the delinquent teen pokemon of the neighbourhood but hey, i'll take it i guess.
I fed him a bunch of pokepuffs, but without 3 pokemon theres only so much i can do in Amie at the moment since i can't play the mini games. Its either ride in circles endlessly around aquacorde or continue down the path at this point, so my hand is forced?

One thing i'd forgotten about X&Y is that they're really, really pretty. To the point where there are specific rest points to look at the surroundings, like so



Unfortunately the landscape is wasted on the idiots who inhabit the world



Shauna, how old are you? You've gotta be at least a teen; how do you not know how this world functions? Even my mum knows how to use pokemon go, come on.

Anyway. Theres a scripted event here; you encounter a pidgey with keen eye whom i named Eagle Tim (thanks Schaz). I don't expect to keep him? So i didn't bother taking a photo. He is quiet and mischievous, so my poor trainer has her hands full with two little shits now. Nice.

So. Onwards into Santalune forest! There's all sorts of cool stuff in here to catch; the monkey trio, pikachu, fletchling.



...Of course.



At least shes a girl. Being my first proper pokemon, she gets a premier ball! I love those things and tbh most of my money is probably going towards buying pokeballs in lots of ten for ~*the aesthetic*~

I named her Josie! Here's the crew so far.



Of course, having three pokemon now means i can enjoy the most important part of the game



Too bad Shauna, you'll have to sit tight while i stuff my children with sweets.
