[Text] Journey start


really
is this really how this is going to go down

this feels a little like dejavu but without the hey ive been here before
like the circumstances feel somewhat passingly familiar
me and some weird pony just hanging out and waiting to see whats up
maybe ill name her black beauty not that shes black
youre a she right
im not looking to check fyi
you do that on your own time

were new in town and too cool for school or so someone calling herself my mom seems to think
ive seen my mom shes way hotter than that
there is a clear path of how did this dude came to be when you look at mom
not so much here sorry lady
but you can keep thinking whatever thats cool

now seriously what the hell is going on

what really?
i thought there were just the twelve of them.
how many are there?
couple of hours, probably.
still better than nothing though.
it would really be awesome if teleport was actually useful enough to give you free-range warping ability.
we could have been back at the house like ten times by now.

oh. well ok then.
funny though, none of them have shown up here. at least that i know of.
nah it just takes you back to the last pokecenter you visited.
it's just one of those really bizarre things that still follows the game mechanics despite this being the real world.
that being said: don't try and go up the ledges.

all twelve of them have been here at one point or another. some multiple times.
the twelve that we were first familiar with, that is.
currently, aradia, terezi, kanaya, and feferi are the only ones who aren't here.
you can't.
that's what happens.
despite all logic, you cannot go up those ledges.

yeah i hadn't met her either before coming here.
which was kind of a shame because she is actually pretty nice.
more like you fall down.
but if you want to stand there and stare, that's cool. nobody's going to stop you.
they might think you are a little crazy though.

see, in order for that to have happened, i would have had to fall over.
which i didn't.
so no.

let's say for a minute that i DID do something like that.
completely hypothetical here.
the only person who would have been able to tape it isn't here anymore.
and she was too nice to do something like that anyway.

hmmm...
well you won't have to worry about this just yet since you only have one pokemon but: breeding.
since they are animals that is...kind of a thing they do.
if you aren't careful, you might end up with a whole mess of eggs that you weren't planning on having to deal with.
some people seem to have more trouble with this than others though. i have been here almost two years and it only happened to me once.
and there were extenuating circumstances that one time.
but there are a couple of people who deal with this semi-regularly.
it's not necessarily a bad thing or a don't though, just a head's up in the event that you wind up with a promiscuous pokemon.

much like the ledges, hms inexplicably follow game logic.
for example, let's say you catch a pidgey while you're out there.
ignoring the fact that it's too small to carry you, you won't be able to fly on it until you get the hm, despite the fact that it has wings.
same goes for surf, cut, all that other good stuff.
doubly stupid: say i lend you my hms.
you can't STILL use them without the right badge.

let's see what else...oh!
here's a big don't.
don't lick, bite, or otherwise ingest paras shrooms.
or berries, those are for pokemon only.

and don't let the fact that this is based off of a children's video game lure you into a false sense of security.
yeah, most of the time things are pretty calm and normal and all around great.
but in addition to the rocket stuff i mentioned before, there's other weird stuff that happens from time to time.
people have gotten their souls stolen before. and there was something else weird that happened before i got here a friend mentioned.
didn't really get all the details but i think missingno was involved?
something weird like that anyway.

the gym leaders are much stronger than they were in the games, but hardly unbeatably so.
this is especially true for the kanto leaders' "elite challenge" since they use a full team of level 100s if you decide to take that.

you don't have to worry about the four move cap, luckily pokemon will remember everything they learn or that you teach them as they level up.

violet city sucks.

aaaaaand that's all i can think of off the top of my head. i am sure more will come to me though.

shedinja.
it's a ghost bug. kind of looks like a cicada husk, like you know after they shed?
you have to go through this really bizarre and complicated process to even get one in the first place but that's beside the point.
point is, if you look into the hole in their backs, the nab your soul.
from the sounds of things, the people who lost them were stuck in some kind of like...dream/nightmare world thing until somebody on the outside defeated the shedinja that took them.
a whole bunch of them showed up randomly in june last year.

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2012-09-26 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
you have to evolve a nincada with an empty space in your party.
then the husk animates itself or something.
it's weird though, because there haven't been any reports of it happening since that one time.
and there was a guy who had one prior to the incident that was perfectly harmless before, during, and after it.
but we're pretty sure team rocket had nothing to do with it.
i kind of wonder if it's just some kind of weird pokeworld phenomena.
maybe it's something that happens every thirteen years like normal cicadas back home.
i'm just hoping it doesn't happen again because it really wasn't fun for anybody involved.

i sure hope so.
i can't speak to what it was like for the people who got soul-napped, but it sucked big time for those of us who weren't.
well those of us who actually had someone close taken. i guess those who didn't just didn't care or whatever.
that was nice of him.
ahaha, yeah you will find that you can amass a large collection pretty quick.
especially if people start leaving.

well he's been here a while, it would be kind of weird if he didn't change at all.
i'm not complaining either because it means it's easier to talk to him.
the first time he was here...not so much.
and the second time he didn't really stick around so.
ghostytrainer: (pester pester!)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2012-10-02 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah, i agree.
he's a massive tool and an arrogant douchebag, that's what's up with him.
why?
ghostytrainer: (pester pester!)

[personal profile] ghostytrainer 2012-10-03 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
i really shouldn't be surprised by this.
i really, REALLY shouldn't.
and yet here i sit: shocked and appalled.
he gave me shit for asking him to keep a promise one of his past selves made.
or to even consider it, really.
what is he hounding you about?
