    Day 2 - Route 1 to Accumula Town

    Chenen, Bianca, and I had just recieved our first Pokemon and were about to embark on an adventure throughout the Unova region. Together, we took our first steps onto Route 1 to Accumula Town.

    Route1

     Professor Juniper was waiting there at the start at Route 1. She showed us how to catch Pokemon, for which I just had to impatiently watch because it is the same spiel from prior games. Afterwards, Chenen and Bianca went on their separate ways, while I tryed also continued to Accumula town while also catching every new Pokemon I ran into. The first Pokemon that appeared in the bushes was a cute Lillipup. I couldn't resist it's little wagging tail and big, pointy ears. I just had to have it! First, I lowered it's health (HP) then threw a Pokeball at it, hoping for the best. One...two...three...Tada! "Lillipup was caught!" I decided to nickname my first caught Pokemon "Meeko" because it reminded me of a former Chihuahau I owned in real life.

    Among spotting a chipmunk-esque Pokemon called Patrat, I immediately thought of my two favorite Disney characters. This little guy was definitely cute, despite the fact that it has demon-red eyes. I couldn't control myself; I just HAD to catch two, so I could have a pair and name them Chip and Dale.

    Next, I arrived in Accumula Town only to find a large gathering in the center of town. To my dismay, all the commotion was caused by Team Plasma. Their leader, Ghetsis (Pictured below), was giving a speech to the people about his "evil" plan. After hearing the speech, I became even more interested in the plot than I normally am with most games. Apparently, Team Plasma's ultimate goal is to set all the Pokemon free. In other words, they believe that Pokemon should not be controlled by humans. This reminds me of something from American history class...what was it?...Oh yeah--SLAVERY! Who would of thought that a Pokemon game would help you in history class? When Ghetsis and the rest of Team Plasma left, I was introduced to another character, who apparently goes by the name "N." N is a childish, green-haired guy who might have connections with Team Plasma, but it is to early to tell. I have a feeling he will play a major role in the plot.

    After that unexpected surprise gathering, I explored the entire city. I was very impressed with the graphics in this game. It looks like it would have been perfect as a Nintendo 3DS title because it had 3D-like graphics without the 3D. All the characters appear taller and you can actually see the a character's body instead of just the top of the head. All in all, I'm glad this game isn't a 3DS exclusive because then I wouldn't be typing this blog now. Finally, I went to check out the Pokemon Center for the first time. Every Pokemon game to date has seen various aesthetic changes to the Pokemon Center, but none of them compare to the drastic changes this time around on the outside and inside. First of all, the Pokemart has been integrated into the Pokemon Center, so now their is not a separate building for it. The Pokemon Center is now a one-stop-shop kind of place. It also takes advantage of the new "3D" look. For the first time, you can actually see Nurse Joy's face in the game! When you first walk in, you can see the ENTIRE Pokemon Center at one glance, even the upstairs! There is one set of stairs on either side leading upstairs. Also, the basement has been removed. All of the wireless/wifi functions are in one of the three rooms upstairs. Room #1 (upstairs, starting from left)  is the Pokemon Wireless Club Union Room. Room #2 is the Pokemon Wi-fi Club, and Room #3 is the Global Terminal or GTS. The Global Trade Station no longer has a separate building like the Pokemart. It is now in the Pokemon Center too.
