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 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]

Medic Plays Pokemon Violet – Part 1

Honestly. I’m beginning to realize that this game is going to take a while. Especially with so much to do. I’m not even at the capital yet… Anyway, let’s get going! So, after a stop at the light house, we now make our way to the next village, where I discover that Poke Centres have really been trimmed down. They don’t even have their own building, it’s more like going to a petrol station. Nemona meets us at the small village and asks me if I battled anyone. I didn’t, I was too busy catching the local fauna. I HAD… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Pokemon Violet – Part 0

This Christmas, my lovely boyfriend was very generous and got me Pokemon Violet for Christmas. And of course I almost immediately started to play it. And just like I did with Pokemon Shield, I thought maybe this would be a good series of articles. So that’s what I’m doing, I’m playing through Pokemon Violet. And so far, it’s actually been a bit… weird. Like a strange roller coaster or something.= Anyway, let’s get started. We start off in a very nice, luxurious house. It seems quite large, especially for only two people. Maybe a third, but most Pokemon games don’t… [Continue Reading]
