I'm replaying Emerald. This time I thought I would try different Pokemon rather than the ones I usually pick in my last playthroughs. So far, I've gotten the first and second badge, on my way to the 3rd. It's nice that Delta has a speed feature, lol.

I chose Treecko for my starter, since I always picked Mudkip or Torchic. Mingus has a neutral nature (Bashful) so his moveset can be versatile but I will probably go with a Sp. Atk set.

Winrar has a Naughty nature, kind of sucks because Pelipper has a higher Sp. Atk stat, so idk if she will stay on the team as I progress.

Shred has a neutral nature as well (Hardy), so I think I will keep a Shedinja for the long-term, with a Protect/Toxic set eventually. Never used one, so I thought that would be interesting to play around Wonder Guard.

Wishful has an unfortunate Adamant nature... lol... so physical attacks will do well with him eventually, as I do want to keep him on the team. He will likely have two punching moves later on. orz

Zooobie has a Careful nature, and that's okay for the Crobat I want to have. So I suppose I will go with a Defensive set for her and try to turn her into a wall.

And my newest addition, Piebald, has a timid nature. I don't hate that but Swalot already has a low speed stat, so it really does nothing. I'm keeping him on the team though because boy howdy that was a full-odds shiny Gulpin, there ain't no way I'm not using 'em!!! Love that for me!!! The only other time I got a shiny in a 3rd gen full-odds was a Numel when I was a kid.

The contenders for Pokemon that I've never used and will try to catch and use for this run are Luvdisc, Chimecho, Spinda, Magcargo, uhhh.. Nosepass, Medicham, Volbeat, Illumise, Cacturne, Starmie, Kecleon... As of now, I will probably be using an entirely different team for the Elite Four, + Swalot.

Stay tuned :D

I've gotten the 3rd and 4th badge now. This area has always been a favorite, so I made a secret base here. Lanette's house is also really cool. It sort of made me want to create a layout inspired by it, but that's a lot of work for lil' lazy me.

3. 

I spent a ridiculous amount of time searching for Spinda's. Partially because I hoped I might find a shiny one, but mostly to look at their random designs. I ended up settling for the circular eye pattern and named her Madotsuki. I also caught a decent amount of mons while traveling.

The team has changed a lil bit. Zooobie (now a Golbat) and Piebald (now a Swalot) are still in, the rest have been switched.

I caught a Marill and named him Laura. There's no theme in the names, I pick anything that comes first to mind. He has a Gentle nature which is really useful. He helped me tear through the 4th gym with ease. Might be a contender.

I replaced Mingus with Tacit, the Cacnea. He has a Timid nature, and that's fine since he can be a mixed attacker. I just like Cacturne so that's why he's on the team. For the Elite Four, he might stay, for the Battle Frontier, I have no idea. We'll get to that later... aha.

I also caught a Slugma and a Trapinch, both have a Modest nature, funnily. I'm using them for type coverage atm, so I probably won't keep them on the team past their evolutions or when I catch another types of theirs. Yes I do want to keep the Flygon but I'm not going to because we're doing the unused Pokemon run. GL to me on the Frontier.

I've played Pearl as a kid, logged at least 400+ hours because me and the neighbor kid played this game and the underground dig thing, the bases and all that. It was fun. I never played Platinum so this is my blind playthrough. I hardly remember the story from Pearl but I have a lot of fond memories...

For this one, I'm using any Pokemon that I like. Whoever stays as the final team will vary. These are what I've got so far, and of course, we got Zoobie on this team too :P

2. 

Well, Puddles (Prinplup) has an Impish nature, how unlucky lol. So my focus will be on making him a tank. With the Steel typing later, that'll be pretty good. Zoobie (Zubat) in this game has a much better nature than in Emerald, she has the Naive nature. Speedy lil demon, Crobat and Empoleon will likely stay in the team until the end. Shockfang (Luxio) has Bashful, and that's fine, she won't be staying.

Steamroll (Bidoof) is my HM cow and he has a Naive nature, that's fine for now, since he won't be staying for the Elite Four. Feels bad that old games require the HM mons to progress. ;( v_V ... I do like Bidoof though. Beauty (Ponyta) has an unfortunate Rash nature, but with Specs he could still be useful, he won't be staying on the team though. Angelic (Psyduck) is Calm and that is suuuuuper nice but she's a water type, so she won't stay either.

Rn I'm just catching random Pokemon I come across and switch-train them. There's not really a vision for what I want the final team to consist of, aside from Empoleon and Crobat atm.

I have one badge. Now I explore and catch mons.

1. 

I never played any old AC games. Started off with New Leaf, played the shit out of that and then New Horizons. I kinda liked New Leaf better, but NH was fun too, definitely didn't play it as much as I played NL. So now we're playing Wild World. I gave the mc my name and called the town Cloudy.

2. 

The villagers I started out with are Aurora, Rolf and Pate. The first one I talked to was Rolf, since he was wandering around outside, and he is an asshole lmao. Pate and Aurora are nice to talk to, I already mailed them both a letter. They both like seashells but idk how to attach a present to the letters.

Tom Nook made me work immediate to start paying off my debt, did that, and now I wander around selling things to slowly gather bells. There isn't much to do yet, so I bought a watering can to water flowers and collect shells. There isn't a way to tt in this game as far as I know, so I'm playing a little every day instead. Reminds me of NL, because I painfully played the game daily for a few years. Finally gave into tt when NH came out.

I'm not sure when other villagers move in or what prompts them to yet. The ones I'm starting with are pretty cute. I hope I get some weird ones.

3. 

Talked to my villagers. Rolf gave me the password to visit Redd's tent but everything is expensive. He made an interesting comment about leaving the town, so I kinda wonder if the villagers randomly leave sometimes. Aurora is always in her house (relatable). Nothing else of interest happened.
