I posted this in the OTL thread first, but I thought this cool story deserved a blog. It's mostly venting.
I've just tried playing Pokémon Platinum for the first time (first time expierence with 4th gen).
Here's my story.
So I start up the game and I see a Giratina, which already made me lol a little bit. I just clicked something and some old dude popped up (it reminded me of gentleman Walter from Ruby/Sapphire, you know who I mean) who repeated Professor Oaks verse about Pokémon. I skipped trough it and had a lot of trouble clicking the middle button of the pokéball. I was very so unamused. I saw a prevolution of Buneary (I think it's Lopunny) pop out. So I continue my adventure and be a girl for the lulz, entering no name, making the game pick a name for me. Kelli. I was alright with that name, untill a douchy ****** showed up with japanese huge hair. I knew I would hate his guts. His name was Diamond.
So I started playing the actual game, and as soon as I went downstairs and mom started talking, I knew what would happen. The game would explain EVERYTHING. They told me to go visit my rival and I said **** you and went to the grass. Untill I was stopped by a douchebag who sent me to the other douchebag's house. I was about to enter when I see this girl walk out and say thud. I realize this is Diamond and I skip trough anything he has to say and he ran off. I knew he was even more hyperactive than your 3rd gen rival. I go to the grass and see this douche again. After walking for 2 seconds, another scene starts which contains 2 minutes of me just holding B and rapidly clicking A. Out of nowhere the old man pops up and his slave brings the suitcase, which would eventually bring forth my Chimchar, which was the only logical choice. All the starters looked equally stupid, so it's only logical I took the fire starter. I started battling his 4th gen Mudkip and it took ages because he was a Growl-*** and I did about 2 damage with a scratch. I won.
He told me to go to the lake and I went right. Douchebag told me to go left. So now we were to a lake where this closet-homo Cyrus is mumbling about the space expanding and remembering the name. I wish I didn't have to witness this scene. Apparently he forgot the Pokéballs and made me go to a city. Now I walk into the grass and hear a horrible battle music play. A shadow appears and slides across the screen. Without looking at it's name, I knew this was a Bidoof. It appeared to be horrible. It was a mixture of the 3 previous early-game-losers (Rattata, the most awesome one, Sentret, the pretty cool one, and Zigzagoon, the meh one) and it looked horrible. It had an unexplainable expression on it's face and made me to the inside. I Scratched it 3 times and continued my journey to the next city. I entered and an alright music started playing. Then the douchebag walked out of the lab and I was happy to see him for the last time.
I entered the laboratorium and the professor started preaching about the pokemon being happy with me and eventually gave me TM27, which I knew was Return. This was really typical. I saw his slave stand outside and he toured me around. It was interesting to learn that a RED rooftop meant Pokémon Center and a BLUE rooftop meant Pokémon Market. I entered the market, bought 10 pokéballs, returned to home, skipping as much grass as I could. I got a parcel and running boots (thank god, the game is so slow, but not good, like Red was) and went off to the city again. I ran trough it and went up to my first trainer battle (OMFG EPIC). I ***** his level 5 Starly off for free and proceeded to do so with any Bidoof's and other wild Pokémen I saw. I battled a trainer who had some green messed up Kakuna and I would want to have that pokémon. I went to the grass patch right before entering the city and saw a Shinx. I considered catching it, but then I said **** it and closed the game. I will most likely not touch it again. I went to play some pokemon Silver.
So yea, I gave the game a chance, up untill a level 10 Chimchar and I almost made it to the 2nd city from home.
