I've decided to retry playing the 'new' Pokémon (Omega Ruby) that I got ages ago and couldn't get into.

I seem to have a much easier time getting into it now! (Probably something to do with the fact that I've figured out that I'm not a guy, and can pick the right character.)

So yay!

I'm really enjoying it so far, actually. Even the cutscenes that feel a bit weird are good - the obviously visible skybox at the back of the level is weird, but doesn't bother me.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do party-wise, though - part of me wants to evolve all my Pokémon at the right level, and part of me wants to leave them as adorable little baby Pokémon.

Which'll be fantastic when I get to battle Groudon with a tiny torchic named 'Pickpeck'. :)

I'm even enjoying Brendan's character so far, and- *gets distracted*

:O

Wally's so tiny!!! Tiny and adorable!!!

Excuse me, dad, why do you think I want to be a strong trainer? I just want a team of adorable and sweet friends with themed two-syllable names!

Noooo!!! My seedot, Leaflove, fainted!!! 😢

I'm about to catch a Ralts, and I'm not sure what to call it. Any suggestions?

For context, it's going to be with a torchic named Pickpeck, a zigzagoon named Zigzag, and a seedot named Leaflove, and I'm trying to stick to that pattern.

In the absence of suggestions, I think I'm going to call it Carehair (because it cares and has hair).

I'll do something else for a bit first, though, in case I think of/anyone suggests a better name.

Okay, I'm getting back to it, and I'm definitely not calling them Carehair.

Maybe Wibwob (short for Wibble Wobble because of being a psychic type)?

:O When you talk to children, you lean down to their height!

How is this game so adorable!?!!??!!

Zigzag and Wibwob don't know any attacking moves, and Leaflove only knows Beat Up, which does barely any damage.

I feel like I've got the short end of the stick when it comes to battles here...
