I started out as baby prince leilou in the palace. It was interesting but kinda offsetting because I couldn't really identify with the protagonist. Also the timeskip right afterwards made it feel irrelevant. Right after the timeskip to the 10 years old me I woke up in a massive room. It really stresses me being part of a rich family. I walked out of my chamber too have a look at the world and this is when I had my first meeting with my kind older sister telling me I had birthday and that dad had a present for all of us. After going downstairs and getting to choose my first Pokémon(Zorua because it's the cutest) my older brother whose personality kinda feels like a little brother beat me up. I didn't stand a chance against his Riolu. Afterwards the two of my siblings past right next to me by jumping over the trash can. I tried but sadly my jump power wasn't enough t do that ...
After that dissappointment I started my way out of the journey looking through all 3 houses in front of the palace and getting an exp share and hidden power. Equiped with those items Zorua and I walked into the first patch of grass and faced a Teddiursa which we barely beat(1 hp left). So we were forced to go heal. While walking I decided that I wanted to catch a Teddiursa. So back into the grass I caught a Spinarak because I like Ariados and had the exp share anyways. But the Teddiursa just didn't want to appear instead a shiny Spinerak appeared so I replaced mine with Shinarak(aren't I creative) and continued searching ... so my Zorua was level 14 when I finally caught my Tedy. Just to make fun of me the Pokémon that appeared right after on my way to heal my team was another Teddiursa.
Having 3 Pokémon and two of them overleveled reaching the end of route 1 was easy. At the end there were strangely arranged bushes that really didn't fit into the scenery. Going the only path that was possible through there my sister stopped me and we had our first battle. Since I was overleveled it was easy again. Right behind there was Majest Village. A village with lot's of Pokémon that I couldn't interact with :/ Also I really hate it when not Hoenn games are using the themes of the cities. Like that city is so not that theme for me ...(yes I'm all about Hoenn ... Hoenn was my childhood) Plus Vendaturf Town theme does not really fit the name Majest Village ...
I just went through that town real quick and found my 4th team member on route 2. It was an Eevee. And here I started really worrying about my team composition in regards to HMs. But I still had two more open spots so I just had to choose wisely. With these thoughts after clearing route 2 I had decide whether to go straight to the house(I don't know how these are called sry...) or up ... I decided to go up and ended up in a big city. It was really big and I immediately got lost. The main problem here was not the amount of people and houses but the amount of empty space. After a short while and after going into the houses I found the trainer school and earned my right to compete in the first arena.
Being pumpt about being able to gain my first badge I explored the rest of the houses and entered the arena. The design was a simple one. And after beating all the trainers in there I tried to go up and see where to go next. I saw a cut tree from below the arena from below so I went there but of course without cut I couldn't go on that way. So i continued exploring the surroundings and found a rocksmash rock that I couldn't smash either but I remembered that hut with the miners I think in it and got a pickaxe there. And that also solved my HM problem.
The rock was no opponent for my new pickaxe and so I went on and got a fire - ice Cyndaquil from my uncle. Weirdly it didn't have a follower sprite. And in the grass after I found one of my favorite Pokémon - a Shinx ... with all HM related worries gone I choose Sparky to get the final spot in my team. With Sparky and Cyndaquil I fought my brother Victor but his Dratini with Dragon Rage and being faster than all my Pokémon destroyed me. So I went on a little adventure to train. I wanted to go all the paths that I didn't go before.
But the path below Terra Town to the right was blocked with no text why ... so I went on to Majest Village to see what was going on there. I got a quest of a girl there to save the friendly water Pokémon at the beach from a crab invasion. Those crabs were easy prey for my sparky though. And so with some more levels and Hot Ice(Cyndaquil) that knew Powder Snow I went to Route 3 and upon entering it my game crashed with the following error message:
Code:
Script 'Follow Pokemon' line 670: NoMethodError occurred.
undefined method `-' for nil:NilClass
Luckily I had saved shortly before getting Hot Ice so I could go back to that point. Weirdly after getting him the second time he had a follower sprite ... so I don't know what went wrong the first time ... anyways ...
After training and evolving Hot Ice I rematched Victor and destroyed him and went exploring in Widow's cave and after a though fight against a guy with 6 fossils my Zorua, Shinarak and Sparky finally evolved ... and Shinarak following you looks so creepy! (it's ready for Halloween). I encountered Sheldon there(great reference ... I love it). And while the cave was long and hard my Team leveled up like crazy in there.
Weakened but with all Pokémon still awake I finally arrived at Ashbridge Town. Relieved of being able too heal soon I went into the Town and my sister Alice came and wanted to challenge me. Luckily someone over at the Pokémon Reserve screamed for help and I could go healing before continuing my adventure.
After healing in that philosophy Pokécenter (talking to that guy in front of the Pokécenter afterwards was like "ahh...that's why they were so deep") my team and I hurried to the reserve and together with Alice.
Without beating anyone we found a Commander of the evil Team Knight who was convinced that we beat all his grunts(lazy pack :D ) ... his fight melody was dope ... After winning that fight I got a Bulbasaur and went back to the city to explore it. Once I was done talking with everyone in the town(even the cat on the tree) I wanted to leave but Alice challenged me to have our battle that was postponed earlier. Since my party was fully healed I had no problems with defeating her.
A short route later I arrived in Green City. While I was searching for the Pokémon Center I stumbled across the casino. I immediately spent all my money to buy casino coins and played a while ... A while later(about 1-2 hours) I checked the prices and realized that there was a card game that i needed money for. So I sold all unimportant items to obtain the 5 cheapest cards for the Triple Triad game. Luckily I won my first few games and so I started getting good cards. A whole while later I went out to the city again to talk to everyone and discovered the water gym. I beat it and went back to the casino, bought me an Usaring card and played some more Triple Triad. I got strong cards pretty soon and was always stronger than my opponent. So I made a lot of money and went on with a lot more money than I had spent in the casino.
On my way through route 6 I saw the house and remembered all the NPCs saying that they are sorry for that man on route 6 ... so I was really curious getting through that maze that route 6 was. After finally managing to get to him I got a Machete witch is great because I can go left at Terra town now. Also after talking to him again he took me to an adventure which was pretty cool.
Being back at Terra town I immediately went to the Toxin Woods. I don't know why but somehow a lot of times in forests it rains ... so my fire attacks were kinda useless. And I said route 6 was a maze ... it was nothing compared to this forest ... at least I only got poisoned once. But I finally arrived in Venum City.
When I went through the city I found the fossil institute. When I tried to revive a fossil the following error appeared:
Code:

So I had to do halve of the forest again ... luckily I save a lot.
So ... after I arrived in the city again I went to the harbor and got pretty surprised when finding the gym there. But man ... I love the character of Captain Bane. So I entered the gym and battled the first guy there. I used Slash on my first round and he used Gunk Shot ... my Usaring got poisoned. When I tried to use Slash again the following Error occurred:

(from the looks of it this is in the battle ai)
I still got to use Slash(in essentials if an error occurs in battle the message just shows and the game doesn't crash), won and continued to jump from ship to ship until I reached the gym leader and beat him. Continuing to talk to everybody(but not turning my fossil in this time) I made Venum City a better place by beating all 8 Eeveelutions and got an Old Rod. So I tried to fish on the bridge right next to the guy who told me that I needed a special permission to fish here to provoke him ... but he didn't seem to mind me fishing illegally ... but I didn't get anything anyways.
So without getting arrested for wildfishing I went on to route 9. As in the Toxin Woods I managed to get through there with nearly all my Pokémon in the red and arrived in Imperial City where I got my bike. I also went on an unexpected adventure there. As I was exploring the city I went into the daycare and when I exited I found myself at the exit of the day care of the essentials default map. Luckily I had obtained fly after the fight against Victor at the end of route 9. But sadly I didn't have any Pokémon caught that could fly. So I went to the default maps routes and discovered, that there were no Pokémon. Sad and desperate as I was because I thought I was stuck since I saved in the daycare I searched through all houses on the map and found a mew which could learn fly to my surprise. So I came back to Imperial City to continue exploring the region.
After that I shock and learning that the gym leader disappeared I went to the fire Pokémon reserve right next to the city. Victor waited there for me and foreshadowed an appearance of team knight at the reserve. But after investigating I only found the owner who gave me a Pokémon. Afterwards I went to see the Graveyard on route 9 that I didn't inspect on the way to Imperial City because my Pokémon were low. After finding the the temporal Ghastly I looked at the grass reserve. Not a sign of team knight either. I also went back home and couldn't access the resort and resort C wasn't accessible ... I also didn't get strength or surf ... so I'm either blind or the demo ends here.
