So finally got around to doing that galar replay I've mentioned a long while back. I think this time I'll maybe take a more casual approach like with DanTDMs new MC series, so I don't have to worry about stuff.
That said here's some requirements:
-I should toggle between mons as much as possible (like how ash did in unova and I think journeys) , ensuring most of them appear at least once on this series.
-At least 1 mon per area so I can actually fulfill that one on top.
-No mints of whatnot-I must work with whatever nature my mons come as.
-1 Gym Battle=1 Max Raid to play with.
-Keep backtracking and grinding to a minimum.
Anywho , let's get started.
Also I'm gonna go into Chinese again, because why not.
The name was because I was gonna only uses the 1st 2 characters, but they led to "lil mosquito" which sounded a bit unpleasant. (Also my character is not a buzzwole).
Yeah, dynamax is the only reason I'm willing to go through sword again. Nothing more nothing less. (Plus I enjoyed when pimpnite used it)
Hmm... thinking about who to use now.(For context, when I first beat sword a long time back I used orbeetle and Corviknight from my early route encounters)
Yeah, I can't wait to figure out what I'm beating him with.
Right now I'm thinking...do I go with old reliable scorbunny, vgc stand out grookey (though it obviously won't have the ability or infamous attack in spammed over and over), or poor sobble...
I couldn't decide, so I used a random number generator...and rolled a 1 (Grookey).
Sweet Arceus I rolled a female starter! (Also I better have something against cinderace much later...sure it may not have libero but it's cinderace...) The name I inputted here is a pun on "chimpanzee" and "star" sounding similar in Chinese.
Of course I defeat Hop...
I don't know if I'll ever come back to slumbering weald, but if I don't, at least it's cool to see again.
Ok Zacian,I'm sorry about your nerfs, don't look at me like that...
(Also NGL I think this is handled somewhat better than koraidon/miraidons intro in SV where they up and just don't let me fight)
Smokescreen Zacian <strikethrough>only on pimpnites channel </strikethrough>! (Sorry, I just need a way to have the cross out words to make the joke work?
Is using corviknight thrice unnecessary? Yes.
Do I still want to do it? Yes. ( I named him feather knight)
Yikes, a route 1 rodent with belly drum.
I dunno what I can use watts for, but it's nice to have. (Yes I KOed a golden Mon, sorry)
Err...yeah I guess he's here to research... rumors of a ancient ghost fairy...or a bear with a certain technique that it can bypass almost all fortifications...or a king with a big crown and an even bigger power that's unleashed when he mounts up... A super fast robot Santa...a giant catfish and it's partner which powers it up when eaten...?
If only we knew what she used...If only...
I remembered route 2 had galarian Zigzagoon, and since I didn't use Obstagoon last time round I want to find one, but it didn't spawn, so I caught yamper instead. (Also I checked Bulbapedia, spawning one is a 2% chance. Yeesh, no thanks!)
I think I've not seen magnolia in a hot minute, has she made any further post swsh appearances? (I know bedes and Marnie are in pmex)
Now for hop round 2. I'll mostly only be narrating the battles (and maybe some other stuff, like picnics, otherwise it'll just be commentary because I'm not sure I'm willing to narrate everything as this is a long post...)
Grookey easily defeats wooloo with 2 branch pokes, but I have to swap her out against rookidee.
Who do I send in? Yamper of course, who nuzzles rookidee and is able to defeat it in a few tackles. Since his last Mon is sobble, I keep yamper in
Water gun barely tickles yamper, and sobblee gets fully para haxed and falls to yampers tackles soon after. Considering inteleon is a glass Cannon,I'm surprised sobble took as many tackles as it did, is sobble bulkier than inteleon???
Ooh, wishing stars. Well I wish I can beat the game with a diverse team of mons, regardless of battle prowess.
Yeah, this is much much better than SVs 1 hour of tutorials. I hope gen 10 or at least plZA can make tutorials bearable again.
At this point I decided to check my nature's, and I found a bit of a problem:
Yamper has a quiet nature, and it's special move pool via level up is garbodor. This is gonna be a bit of a problem....
I already caught 2 beforehand and yes, I'll work on getting more, just be patient.
Yay, can't wait to use pokemon camp.
Though I think I'm gonna wrap up here.
Also yeah let's go Pikachu bonus is locked to your save file, so no gmaz Pikachu (wah wah)
