SOOOOOO I couldn't wait for Sun and Moon(YESH) to come out, and I wasted a few hours trading all my shinies and sterf to my brother's game so I could restart Alpha Sapphire. :D

And HOOOOOOOEEE does it bring back good memories of all deh games!

Some screenshots for your trouble:

LE BEGINNING

LE BLANK SAVE FILE

THIS GUYYYY
(He started out as a snobby ace trainer who went on and on about how skilled he was with this item, then gave you the float stone he was carrying which halves the weight of whoever holds it)

(This is him after I went upstairs and came back down)

(How did I not notice this during my last two playthroughs?!)

Alsooooo I'm trying to play non-competitively so I can sit back and enjoy the game without having to worry about ivs or team balance or anything like that, so my team currently consists of:

Grovile named Toast, at level twenty and full five-heart affection

Poocheyena named Little Fang, after that one song in a Jayfeather AMV I saw once, has the special move play rough(fairy type movesin the first fifteen minutes of the game do wonders)

Another Pooch named Sheep who has Ice Fang (again, ice move does wonders in the beginning and I couldn't decide between the two)

Japanese eevee I got through wonder trade (they're too high a level to use sufficiently, but they know covet so that helps with items)
(Also might make an egg later so I can nickname 'em and get a vaporeon for surf and sterf)

Tailow named Jack Sparrow (yup), sadly with no good moves (yet)

Aaaaand Slakoth named Escargo for cut and hopefully a good vigeroth in the future. :3

Also, LOOK WHAT I JUST GOT IN WONDER TRADE

I FEEL SO BAD NOW ALL I GAVE THEM WAS A MAGIKARP NAMED SASSAFRASS

BUT STILLLL
