Mongo the Destroyer, IMMORTALS, and 1 more like this

So, as a few people may know, I've bloody fallen in love with my Nintendo Switch, and most important, in love with Pokemon.
Why am I doing this post? Because I'm going to do what Mongo does, but better.
...
Okay, maybe not true. But, I'm having a fucking blast playing this game so I'm going to document my adventures in the Kanto Region.
Let's a-go! (See? See? It's funny, because I'm playing Let's Go. Are you proud of me dad?)
Okay, so I'm already plenty far into the game - about 12 hours in to be precise. So while I initially wanted to just fling everything out the window, Mongo talked me into just summarizing what I've done so far. So...
DAY ONE/TWO
Okay, so Day 1, I played for 10 minutes while my girlfriend was walking the dog. I barely made it to the part where I could choose my starter before she came back and yoinked the console from me.
The game got very meta early on, when your character loads in, playing a Switch. Yup. Sat on his bed, and OH HI THERE I'M YOUR RIVAL AND I'M WALKING RIGHT INTO YOUR HOUSE LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS! Oh, and your rival in this game is nice to you. He helpsyou. He gives you advice and pats your back and tucks you into bed. Yeah. He's the worst kind of rival.
Day 2 I really got into the nitty gritty stuff. I met Professor Oak, who is studying Pokemon in the grass because despite being old and barely able to move, and all the other excuses, he's still able to move around and do random expositional shit.
Anyway, a Pikachu comes up and attacks, and you learn how to catch pokemon! It's very realistic in this game, the pokemon move around and swat pokeballs away. You have to be strategic. You have to be smart. You have to throw all your pokeballs until you run out and get angry you wasted so much money on the best balls to lose EVERYTHING! *ahem* Anyway, nothing important really happens until Pewter City, so let's just skip to...
DAY THREE
Day 3, I arrived in Pewter City and met the one they called...
BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCK... uh... just Brock.
By this point in the game, I'd conquered the Viridian Forest and taken everyone I met to THUNDERSHOCK CITY, BITCH. Brock was my first problem, as neither Pikachu nor Eevee (the other starter I could have obtained with the other game) were really effective against the rock hard Brock. Luckily, this game was made for little BITCHES, so the attendant outside the gym asked if I had a pokemon effective against Rock Type pokemon! And whaddya know, my entire time was ineffective... except for one.
And with my Oddish, I massacred the Pewter City gym. Brock had nothing against the might of the tiny onion! (Also, a complain I have is in gym battles, this game demands you start with your starter, so I had to spend my first round switching to Oddish. Every. Time.)
After Brock gave me my well-deserved badge, I chugged my way to Mt Moon. This would be my first of what will be many visits to this giant pile of astronomical debauchery. I made my way through with easy, catching many pokemon until I came to the dreaded choice scene.
The fossil selection.
Dome vs Helix.
Pfffft easy. I chose the Dome fossil. GIMME THAT KABUTOPS!
Shortly after, I met the greatest antagonists of pokemon history.
JESSE AND JAMES
TEAM FUCKIN' ROCKET
oh, and a meowth that doesn't talk... that was a missed opportunity.
Nothing much really happened until I made it to Cerulean City, when I fought Misty. I creamed her. Electric type beats Water for daaaaays.
I went and visited Bill, beat the SS Anne and learned Chop Down. Here's a few fun things, firstly Blue makes an appearance, inviting you to join a Trainer Battle Royale(which is over so like, why even invite me you dick?). Second, HMs do not take up move spots, so I can have my Pikachu learn Cut, Flash, Surf, Fly and Strength and not want to punt it off a cliff.
SEE THESE? THESE CAN BE REALITY!
After I get off the Anne, I make it to Vermillion City. Home of the infamous Surge.
This is where my pokemon fainted for the first time. All of them.
Surge bloody conquered my team, I beat his Voltorbs and Magnemites with ease before I was face to face with my future, a Raichu. Raichu destroyed my team, so I needed to go back and rethink/rebuild my team. I went back with the same team and just meme'd his ass by using my OP moves anyways lul
DAY FOUR
Admitedly, Day 4 was uneventful. I made it to Lavender town, before going ALL THE WAY BACK TO MT MOON FOR A FUCKING MOON STONE. But I got Nidoqueen, so bonus.
Tomorrow, I'll be showing off my team and continuing my adventure, but in the mean time. I NEED NAMES! FOR MY POKEMON! Because none of my pokemon are named and I have no ideas what to call them. Give me original, exciting, COOL NAMES! Here's my roster(I guess I'm not showing off my team tomorrow lol).
1.) Pikachu (Starter)
2.) Vileplume
3.) Nidoqueen
4.) Pidgeotto
5.) Raticate
6.) Porygon
Yeah, gimme cool names so I don't look like a total scrub. Until next time(aka tomorrow)...
Sayonara.
