Route 29: 001

[arrogantalloy]

 Right, so after studying up on the pokedex, I’m going to need to know the best ways to routes 10 and 11 in Kanto as well as 37 Johto. I’m looking for some of these little guys in particular, and that’s where the Pokedex says they are.

Don’t think it’s going to be easy, because it never really is. But they’re going to come in more than a little handy while I have to re-establish myself. Not something really new, though the location has changed quite a bit.

But then again, some guy in a lab coat pointed out to me the more I use the bird, the more useful it'll be. And if making it strong while I get these other ones I'll need, well that's going to work in both our favours.

Also, these need names, right? Because if I have to call it what it's screeching, well, that's just going to really get on my nerves to be honest.

You got one of the talkers huh? If it helps, some of them speak human after they get old enough, but I don't think the birds are in that category at all.

[Have a teenager peering at you there.]

What kind of bird is it? The biggest ones can actually fly with people once they evolve up to it, though if you're a breeder or not makes a difference on if that works. Trainers have to get badges first.

[He raises an eyebrow at the kid, then shrugs a little. Turning his hand to show his Skarmory in mid yawn, clearly comfortable on the ground where it was sitting. Before he turns the camera back on himself.]

Skaromnini or something, wasn't really paying attention in the first place. I just know it's loud and says at least the first part of it's name. And I'm not a breeder.

So even if you level it up to the skill you still won't be able to fly it anywhere til you get the badge. Unlucky. Basically your bets on travel are going on foot or making nice with someone who can fly you then, because the initial costs for train tickets and stuff are pretty steep.

Also, Skarmory. Someone from my world has one of those, overprotective bugger. You can name it whatever you want though, and if you keep at it it might eventually stick properly.

[He flashed him a grin. Oh this was fun, why hadn't he poked at the new people before this?] Questions~?

You've certainly....adapted quickly.

I always do my homework before I set out to do something.

..And the....Pokemon don't bother you at all?

Which ones are you looking for? And let's see! To route 37, just go straight from New Bark to Cherrygrove, then to Violet, then swing through Sudowoodo Crossing and you should be there.

And names are important, yep!

[arrogantalloy]

There's some fire and electric types that I'm interested into looking into.

[timelymaid]

It'll take time to travel between regions, so you need to pick one or the other, I think! But you might be able to find the other kinds at the breeding centre or something, to save time?

Yep. If you train them enough, your Pokemon, which I assume is a flying-type bird Pokemon, will get stronger and learn new moves. Generally a good thing, since they're your main form of protection here and for catching new Pokemon.

As for names, it's generally a "yes" thing. Easier to give them names and call out for them in the long run.

[Tony can be seen looking off screen. He's looking at his Skarmory.]

Well, naming huh.

[Looks back at the screen.]

What have you named yours?

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

Usually technology and programming stuff, along with a few odds ones. I have Antec, Ada, Pascal, Asterisk and Fortran, for example. And then there's Unit 01, Cassie, Nalagiri...

[His naming scheme? Otaku things and technology, really.]

Just whichever seems fitting for my guys. [He glance off the screen for a moment.] ...and girls.

What are you looking for? There's a huge breeder's convention in a couple days, you could probably just save time and buy an egg.

Video

[arrogantalloy]

I've placed an order with the day care centre.

That's the convention like though? I've always been kind of big on my own conventions.

Re: Video

[nasa_dreams]

Dunno. I think this is the first one. I'm not going either.

[video]

[machinamonkey]

Names are helpful, yeah! What kinda Pokémon are you looking for? Maybe someone has eggs for you.

[video]

[arrogantalloy]

Someone's actually suggested a day care centre, that I've left a message with.

What names have you given yours?

[ video ]

[getthehorns]

Pretty sure that the pokédex comes with a map, too. Just tossing that out there.

[ video ]

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah, doesn't come with a posting of taxi ranks, or bus time times. So not as helpful as you think, really.

[video]

[vulpesvivus]

Depends, really--you could fly or ride something big enough, if you had it. Kanto's a little further off, but you can get a train in Goldenrod to get there.

[video]

[arrogantalloy]

Well that's a start at least. What about cars? Or a plane maybe? Helicopter, they're always pretty good.

[plushaeusrumpified]

Just follow the yellow brick road, Dorothy. It'll take you wherever you need to go.

[arrogantalloy]

Somehow I don't think munchkins, red shoes and witchecide is really going to help me here.

Also, I don't think I'd look all that good in gingham.

[iownahoofbeast]

I believe the most direct route to Kanto would be the Magnet Train in the Goldenrod City. I do not believe Route 10 is terribly far to the east from the opposite terminal.

And naming the Pokebeasts is not strictly necessary. I suppose. Though it seems a bit disrespectful an inconvenient to merely call them by their species name.

[audio]

[arrogantalloy]

Wow that's... A serious sounding voice, there.

And yet, surprisingly helpful of you actually. have you named yours?
