Pip Plays Pokémon

[Torchic W. Pip]

A thread to catalog the happenings of my Pocket Monster journeys (maybe even some other games if I care enough).

Currently playing:
Sword
Let's Go Eevee
Brilliant Diamond

On hiatus:
Platinum

In the backlog:
White
Super Mystery Dungeon

I'll try to document my journies in journal form.

Other additional things:

• This thread will contain spoilers for all of the games listed above.
• My main playthroughs don't have any real challenge theme, though I may one day do things like Monotype Runs, Theme Challenges, etc.

Rubidia,

I hope this letter finds you well. I have safely arrived in the Galar region. I first landed in a port off the coast of Southern Galar. After a short Flying Taxi trip, I arrived in Wedgehurst. It's a rather quaint city, like something you'd see on one of those old lithographs.

I'm staying in Wedgehurst for a few days before registering for the Gym Challenge. I have an endorsement from Kabu. You remember Kabu, don't you? We saw one of his most matches back when he was still living in our home region. I got my endorsement back when I was first preparing for my trip. He said I've proven myself a very capable Trainer. Of course, I have my beloved Torchic, Lyra, to thank for that. Speaking of Lyra, how is she? is she adjusting to her new home at the Lab well?

As you can probably guess, I chose the Fire type starter Scorbunny. I named my new friend Tù. He's a quirky little fella; he likes tapping out different rhythms on different objects with his feet.

After this period of rest, I hope to head off to Motostoke.

May your wishing star be in the sky tonight,

Vega

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond 1

Dear Diary,

My name is Becca, and one day, you and my parents won't be the only people who know my name!
I’m going to be a great Coordinator, just like my parents. You’ve probably heard of them: Abrar and Araceli Chandra. Or maybe you haven’t. You’re a diary. Anyway, my dad dominated the Beauty category, and mom dominated the Cleverness category. I’m going to master all of the categories: Beauty, Cleverness, Toughness, Coolness, and Cuteness!
I chose my starter from Professor Rowan today! Her name is Celestina, and she’s a Chimchar! Professor Rowan said she’s a very Modest Pokémon who loved to help the other Pokémon back at the Lab. She’s a very pretty Pokémon.
I’m going to catch lots of Pokémon as soon as my journey starts, which is going to happen tomorrow! It’s one in the morning, but I just can’t sleep. Oh well. Maybe you'll be able to sleep. Or maybe not. You're a diary.

Dear Diary,

Hearthome City is really big and really pretty.
Celestina and I spent the whole morning and afternoon walking around the city. The people here are super nice! There's this really cool building that immigrants from Kalos built long ago. There's a Pokémon fanclub. There's even this lady with a bunch of kids!
I needed to get my Coordinator's license. It wasn't too difficult, and I'm even entering a Contest tomorrow! Wish me luck!
