Medic Plays Pokemon Violet – Part 11

The last thing that Miraidon needs is the ability to climb walls. Luckily, Miraidon can learn that if we go to Paldea’s massive lake, which is filled with level 50+ Pokemon. Really, I should be staying away from this place. After all, aside from Ringo, all my Pokemon are around level 40, with one of them being only level 35. But here I am, on an island in the middle of a sea, looking for a gigantic Pokemon that’s not there yet. Instead, I find myself battling a Tatsugiri that repeatedly says “Taitan”, giving away that it is in fact… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Pokemon Violet – Part 10

So I’m now here in Medali, working my way towards the Normal Badge. It’s taken me a while to actually get here, mostly because I have been avoiding Nemona. The last time I saw her, she appeared in the Medali gym and had just finished it. She wanted to fight, but had the wrong Pokemon, so Nemoma dashed off and left me alone. Before I could do anything else though, I need to do the gym challenge. What’s weird is that this gym challenge is food-based, kinda like the Water Gym. But this time, I have to find a bunch… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Pokemon Violet – Part 9

So the next gym on the list is a Water gym. It’s located in Cascarrafa, which happens to be next to a pretty large desert. It’s supposed to be a bit of an oasis, and has running water at least. So the first thing I do is find the gym, which has a lift for you to get up to it. But as I approach the gym, someone rushes out of it and disappears, followed by a secretary shouting. Turns out, the water gym leader has forgotten his wallet, which is something that seems to happen a lot around here.… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Pokemon Violet – Part 8

It’s been a while, but I’ve finally leveled up my Pokemon to an acceptable level and caught a bunch of unrelated Pokemon, and it’s time to actually do some story stuff. Instead of doing gyms though, I decided to focus on doing titans, in order to make my Miraidon stronger and more mobile. However, the last time I faced a titan, it beat the crap out of my under-leveled Pokemon and I had to run away. This time, I’m coming prepared. Both of the titans I am about to fight are steel types, meaning I’ll need fighting types. Can’t use… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Pokemon Violet – Part 7

Okay so I’ve been a tad busy. I found and caught a Gible, and immediately I wanted to level the little bastard up, because, well, I don’t have a dragon type on my team yet. But also, a little birdy told me that I might need a ground type in a bit. That’s because I’m heading off to the electric gym on the other side of the world map. All those Pokecenters were well worth walking to. But before I go in with just one ground type, I consider bringing something else too. A second ground type. There were wild… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Pokemon Violet – Part 6

I’ve kinda been ignoring Team Star for a bit. They’re basically a bunch of troublemakers that keep on skipping past. However, I decided to do one Team Star base to see what it’s like. It’s, well, weird.   So everything stars off as pretty normal. I go up to the gate and ask if I can come in. One of the grunts fights me with a Murkrow, then runs inside. The other grunt follows, informing everyone that I am here. So I walk into the place and it’s nothing special, just some stages and stuff. The challenge here is to… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Pokemon Violet – Part 5

So I’ve been playing Pokemon Violet for a bit now, and I have realized that there’s more to life than unlocking Pokecenters so I can fly to them. Now it’s time to make some actual progress, and that involves going to the next gym. Mostly so I can start catching more Pokemon and have them listen to me. The next gym, located in Artazon is a grass gym, with an addiction to Sunflora. Seriously, there are so many statues of them lying around. They’re about as obsessed with Sunflora as the previous gym was with Smoliv. And, of course, just… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Pokemon Violet – Part 4

This is the part in which I go to every Pokecenter on the island of Paldea. Why? I don’t really know, I just like having easy-to-access teleporting between locations. In fact, I actually do that in a lot of games I play. Unlocking new areas is always fun. What started all of this was actually quite simple. I was riding Miraidon and decided to jump over a wall in Mesagoza to see what happened. Turns out, I ended up at the Pokecenter next to the Pokemon League. I probably wasn’t supposed to be there, but I took it as a… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Pokemon Violet – Part 3

I’m gonna be honest, I’m a little bit lost. I can’t decide what I actually want to do, and instead I’ve just been wandering around. Since part 2 all I have really done is go from pokecenter to pokecenter, unlocking waypoints to be able to fly to later on. So here’s what I’ve been up to. The major thing I have been doing is catching Pokemon. Anything new I come across, I grab my Pokeballs and try to weaken them down so I can catch them. This has been going quite well with Ringo the Weed Cat, mostly just using… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Pokemon Violet – Part 2

I’m back here, playing more Pokemon Violet, but guess what? There’s a time skip! After going to bed after my first day at school, there’s a massive time skip, up until the school’s big event, the Treasure Hunt. Honestly, I am just perplexed by the time skip. But anyway, the time skip passes and we are left standing outside the school, being told about the treasure hunt. There’s no actual treasure or anything. It’s basically the school director telling the kids to explore the island rather than doing classes, in a bid to get them all outside and, uh, learn… [Continue Reading]
