Lost my last two Platinum games pretty early on, so I considered it cursed and moved onto HeartGold, which is WAY more promising already! <3
(RN = Randomized Nuzlocke) Lmk if you'd like a tag :)
- Got my starter, Mareep, and named it Daisy. She's a girl <3. The other options were Wurmple and Totodile, for me it was a no-brainer!
- Caught the first member of the team, Exploud, who has proved to be a POWERHOUSE. My starter in my first game was Whismur named Tempo who died tragically, so naturally I had to name this Exploud in honor of Whismur, Tempest <3.
- Caught the next member of my team, which to my shock was a Magby... who was the SECOND starter that I got in my second nuzlocke after Whismur! I swear it's not rigged. Magby also fell to an ugly Rayquaza I believe, so I had to name this Magby in honor of their fallen brother, from Burna Boy to Burna Gal <3.
- Caught the next member of the team, Togetic! I love the Togepi line so I was happy. Named Shine.
- Caught Rampardos, who I almost ran out of balls for but I'm glad I didn't because it's an absolute monster. Named Donnie
- Caught Goldeen, named it Beau, but it's so far the weakest performing member of the team so I had to box it in favor of something else
- Beat the first gym, Falkner's, with flying colors! Mareep was the MVP of the battle, and she'll be evolving very shortly <3.
- Finally, to replace Goldeen, we received an egg in Violet City. I believe this egg is supposed to hatch a Togepi, but since this is randomized, it SHOULD be something completely different unless I fucked up. Guess we'll see. So far so good with this game!
