Pokemon BW 1: Your First Pokemon!

Welcome to the Unova Region! On your journey, you will meet countless Pokemon, and battle Trainers to become stronger than ever before, and even learn something about yourself. So, let's jump into the world of Pokemon!

Nuvema Town & Your Starter Pokemon

Xtransciever--------------------Only One


                                


When you first begin the game, you will be asked the basic questions, such as gender and name. The gender of your character has no impact whatsoever on the story, and neither does your name. The only differences are cosmetic.

After that, you wil find yourself in your room with your rival, Cheren, who is complaining about Bianca, your other rival, being late to recieve your starter Pokemon. After that is sorted, you will get the chance to choose.


If you are resetting to get a starter of a specific gender, or a shiny starter, save your game here.


As always, you get to pick from three types--Fire, Water and Grass. The Fire-type, Tepig, is a decent tank that will eventually evolve into the Fire/Fighting-type Emboar, although it is pretty lackluster until you get to level 15, and learn Flame Charge. The Grass-type, Snivy is a difficult starter to raise, learning its first decent move, Leaf Blade, at level 32. The Water-type, Oshawott is, in my opinion, the easiest of the Unova starters to use. You won't be at a serious type disadvantage until the fourth gym battle, as opposed to Snivy, who's weak to the third, sixth and seventh gym leaders.

All in all, if you're going for results, choose Tepig, if you're going for simplicity, choose Oshawott, and if you're feeling like a challenge, choose Snivy.

For the purpose of this walkthrough, I will be referring to "your starter" as Oshawott, Dewott and Samurott, because that is what I chose. It makes no difference, because the only Pokemon that change depending on your starter are the Striaton Gym Leader's elemental monkey and your rivals' elemental monkey and starter.

 You will then be forced into a battle with Bianca, who has chosen the Pokemon that is at a type disadvantage to yours. At this point, however, it is not really a deciding factor. The deciding factors are actually who gets a critical hit, if anyone, and who uses Tail Whip, or Leer, is Snivy's case. The best strategy is to just use Tackle.

Then, Cheren will heal yours and Bianca's Pokemon, and then challenge you. The battle is exactly the same, except Cheren has the Pokemon that is at an advantage to yours, type-wise. The same strategy is useful for this battle too.

When you go downstairs, your rivals will talk to your mom for a bit, then leave. Cheren is headed to the Juniper Research Lab, and Bianca is headed home. At this point, your mom will give you your Xtransciever (pronounced "cross-transciever", in my video walkthrough that I will be uploading over the summer, you will hear me pronounce that incorrectly, along with Cheren's name many, MANY times). So, without anything else, it's time to head out to the Research Lab to recieve our Pokedex... In the next part!

Anyway, that's all for now, folks, and make sure to continue to view our blog regularly!
