What Fire Type outclasses Zard exactly? Arcanine isn’t really any better or worse, Ponyta evolves at level 40, lol, Flareon, Ninetales and Magmar are inferior and unavailable in Red, Moltres is at the end of the game.
I don’t disagree that Venusaur is the best Grass/Poison in Kanto but lol toxic/seed stalling ingame no thanks.
Are you going to be streaming or no?
As D&T showed me that my PC can’t handle streaming, no. So the pictures will have to suffice.
Okay, I was called out. Let’s see here…
I chose Squirtle for starter, and I want to name it Genji (after the turtle Reimu rides in the PC-98 games, not the Umineko character). 
For Route 1, I chose Pidgey. My nickname for it will be Nekotabe. (Because it’s cat food. )
On Route 22, I picked Mankey (RIP Rattata ;;7 ). The nickname I bestow upon it will be Tsunderape. (Hope that fits within the character limit… XP )
Stat wise Arcanine is slightly better, being a great mixed attacker with some decent bulk. Type wise you sacrifice some resistance to types you’d never have to worry about (bug and fighting) and the admittedly nice immunity to earth to not be rekt by rock type attacks, as well as weakness to electric. Plus this is a single player run. No matter how shit the team you’ll win with relative ease, so all that really matters is the nicknames.
I propose
“Pikachu” for Charmander
“Diglet” for Rattata
“Dragonite” for Pidgey
“Magikarp” for Spearow
“Zapdos” for Mankey
Oak: “So, Lunar, you’ve decided on the Water Pokémon Squirtle?”
Lunar: “Yes.”
Oak: “This Pokémon is really quite energetic!”
Lunar: “Hmm, I think I’ll call you Genji. I don’t know why, but it just seems fitting for a turtle…”
Sol: “My Pokémon looks a lot tougher than yours.”
Lunar: “Oh yeah? Wanna find out if your perception holds true in actual battle?”
Sol: “Let me think about it…”
Oak: “If a wild Pokémon appears, your Pokémon can battle it. With it at your side, you should be able to reach the next town.”
Sol: “You know, like you suggested. Come on, I’ll take you on! There’s no way I’ll lose to your lame looking Pokémon!”
Oak: “Oh, for Pete’s sake…
So pushy, as always.”
Lunar: “Are you going deaf, too? I kinda challenged him first.”
Oak: “That was aimed at both of you…
Still, Lunar. You’ve never had a Pokémon battle before, have you?”
Lunar: “No, but I’ve seen several on TV.”
Oak: “A Pokémon battle is when Trainers pit their Pokémon against each other. The Trainer that makes the other Trainer’s Pokémon faint by lowering their HP to ‘0’, wins.”
Lunar: “That means I still know what a Pokémon battle is, geez.”
Oak: “But rather than talking about it, you’ll learn more from experience. Try battling and see for yourself.”
Lunar: “Thank you! So now, Genji, use Tackle!”
Oak: “Oh one more thing:”
Lunar: “Oh will you keep quiet already? I’m getting along well enough.”
Lunar: “Oh really? I would have
thought staring down on each other would be way more effective.” 
Sol: “Ooh, Tackle sounds good. Bulbasaur, also use Tackle!”
Lunar: “That seems to have worked quite well, Genji, use Tackle again!”
Sol: “Bulbasaur, keep up with the Tackles!”
Lunar: “You can’t rest yet, use Tackle!”
Sol: "You can do it, Tackle, now!
Lunar: “I think he’s almost done, one more Tackle and we should win!”
Sol: “I picked the wrong Pokémon!”
Lunar: “Who’s tougher now?”
Oak: “Hm! Excellent! Albeit a bit boring…
If you win, you earn prize money, and your Pokémon will grow! Battle other Trainers and make your Pokémon strong!”
Lunar: “Will do.”
Sol: “Okay! I’ll make my Pokémon battle to toughen it up! Then we’ll see who’s tougher!”
Hmm, I should say good bye to my mom before leaving the city. Oh hey, there’s that girl that loves signs so much.
“Not reading any signs anymore?”
Girl: "Nah, I’ve already got the ones here memorized! By the way:
Girl: “When they get strong, they can protect me. Also that way those signs have important information for me, too. After all, most of them are Trainer Tips.”
Lunar: “Well, I’ll start my Pokémon journey today, but I wish you good luck for the future.”
Girl: “Really? Cool! And thanks, maybe we’ll meet one day in another town~”
So now to say goodbye to mom.
Lunar: “Thanks. I’ll be going on my journey now.”
Mom: “Ah, time really flies. I remember it like yesterday, when you were still a little baby.”
Lunar: “Mom, please!”
Mom: “Hihi! Oh let me tease you a bit before you leave. But stay save on your journey, and remember, you can always come back here if you need a little rest.”
Lunar: “Thanks, Mom! Good bye!”
Mom: “Bye!”
Hmm, might as well say bye to Daisy.
Daisy: “I wish I’d seen that!”
Lunar: “Eh, it was really just a bunch of Tackles.”
Daisy: “Still, the look on my brother’s face when he loses is prizeless. So I guess you’ll also go on a journey?”
Lunar: “Yeah.”
Daisy: “Well, good luck on your travels! Bye bye, Lunar!”
Lunar: “Thanks. And bye, Daisy.”
Route 1 Theme
So that’s how it looks outside of town.
Oh, my first wild Pokémon battle!
“Go Genji! Same strategy as last battle, just use Tackle!”
Man: “It’s part of a convenient chain selling all sorts of items. Please, visit us in Viridian City. I know, I’ll give you a sample. Here you go!”
Lunar: “Thanks!”
Boy: “It’s a bit scary, but you can jump from them.”
Lunar: “I’ll test that later.”
Lunar: “Ah, and this route also has birds. Hmm, looks kinda cool…”
Hmm, Genji took quite some damage there, should better use a Potion.
Seems like I reached Viridian City.
The battle moves of a Pokémon are limited by their Power Points, PP. To replenish PP, rest your tired Pokémon at a Pokémon Center.
Should better do that…
Nurse: "Would you like me to heal your Pokémon back to perfect health?
Lunar: “Yes.”
Nurse: “Thank you for waiting. We’ve restored your Pokémon to full health. We hope to see you again!”
Teenager: “They make all Pokémon completely healthy.”
Lunar: “And it doesn’t take long either…”
Boy: “They charge no money, so don’t be shy about healing Pokémon.”
Lunar: “That’s good to know.”
Old Man: “The receptionist told me so. It’s so kind of her!”
Lunar: “That’s for Pokémon and Item Storage, right? Currently don’t need it, but I’ll sure be needing it later, so thanks for the info.”
Teenager: “Caterpie has no poison, but Weedle does. Watch that your Pokémon aren’t stabbed by Weedle’s Poison Sting.”
Lunar: “Noted, watch out for Weedle’s Poison Sting.”
Welcome to Viridian City
Lunar: “Yeah, what about it?”
Boy: “It’s great that you can carry and use Pokémon anytime, anywhere.”
Damn, I forgot my chainsaw at home…
And someone left a Potion here. Well, don’t mind if I do.
And the northern building holds…
…a school. Also, let’s check her notes:
“Poké Balls are used to catch Pokémon. Up to six Pokémon can be carried in your party. People who raise and battle with Pokémon are called Trainers. A healthy Pokémon may be hard to catch, so weaken it first. Poison, burn, or cause another status problem to weaken it. Pokémon Trainers seek others to engage in Pokémon battles. To Trainers, the taste of victory is sweet, indeed. Battles are constantly waged at Pokémon Gyms everywhere. The ultimate goal for all Pokémon Trainers is simple. It is to defeat the top eight Pokémon Gym Leaders. Do so to eran the right to face the Elite Four of the Pokémon League!”
Lunar: “Hmm, the one who beats the Elite Four is basically the best Pokémon Trainer there is, right? I think that’ll be my goal. So watch out, you Gym Leaders out there, a new challenger has arrived and his name is Lunar!”
Girl: “Hey! Don’t look at my notes! And be quiet!”
Just a list of status effects. All kinda self-explanatory.
“Special Feature: Prof. Oak, the Pokémon Researcher!
Prof. Oak reportedly lives with his grandchildren Daisy and Sol.”
Lunar: “Tabloids aren’t what they used to be…”
Woman: “I’m so sorry. He hasn’t had his coffee yet.”
Old Man: “This is private property!”
Lunar: “Who designed this city, when you have to go through private property to reach the exit?”
Guess I’ll check out the southern house…
Lunar: “Oh hey, another bird!”
Man: “Clever names are nice, but simple names are easier to remember.”
I think I’ll stick with clever.
Oh right, I should check out the Pokémon Mart.
Lunar: “Yeah.”
Clerk: “You know Prof. Oak, right? His order came in. Can I get you to take it to him?”
Lunar: “Since the road ahead’s currently blocked, sure, might kill enough time for that old fool to get his coffee.”
Clerk: “Okay, thanks! Please say hi to Prof. Oak for me, too.”
Teenager: “You never know when your Pokémon will need quick healing.”
Lunar: “Yeah, good thing I had one when traveling here, otherwise Genji might have fainted.”
Teenager: “Genji?”
Lunar: “Oh, my Squirtle.”
Teenager: “Ah, nice name.”
Lunar: “Those heal poison, right? Maybe I should get some.”
But now that I’m going back, let’s test jumping down those ledges.
Yep, works fine.
Lunar: “I’ve got a delivery for Prof. Oak here, is he there?”
Oak: “Well, it seems to be growing more attached to you. You must be talented as a Pokémon Trainer.”
Lunar: "I’m just starting, you can look forward to seeing me battle in a few weeks!
Oak: “And what was that? You have something for me?”
Lunar: “Yeah. With regards from the Viridian City Pokémon Mart sales clerk.”
Oak: “Ah! It’s the custom Poké Ball! I had it on order. Thank you!”
Sol: “I almost forgot! What did you call me for?”
Lunar: “Just like your grandpa, huh?”
Sol: “Shush!” 
Oak: “Oh, right! I have a request for you two. On the desk there is my invention, the Pokédex! It automatically records data on Pokémon you’ve seen or caught. It’s a high-tech encyclopedia! Lunar and Sol. Take these with you. You can’t get detailed data on Pokémon by just seeing them. You must catch them to obtain complete data. So, here are some tools for catching wild Pokémon.”
Oak: "When a wild Pokémon appears, it’s fair game. Just throw a Poké Ball at it and try to catch it! This won’t always work, however. A healthy Pokémon can escape. You have to be lucky! To make a complete guide on all the Pokémon in the world…
That was my dream! But, I’m too old. I can’t get the job done. So, I want you two to fulfill my dream for me. Get moving, you two. This is a great undertaking in Pokémon history!
Sol: “All right, Gramps! Leave it all to me! Lunar, I hate to say it, but you won’t be necessary for this.”
Lunar: “Good, I’ll just concentrate on becoming the best Pokémon Trainer in Kanto instead.”
Sol: “Ugh, that’s not what I meant. Just stay home, your first victory against me was just luck. You’ll never be able to be good enough to beat a Gym Leader, let alone the Elite Four.”
Lunar: “Oh, we’ll see.”
Sol: “Just don’t run home crying when you get your first loss. I warned you. But for this journey, hmm…
I know! I’ll borrow a Town Map from my sis! I’ll tell her not to lend you one, Lunar! Hahaha! Don’t bother coming around to my place after this!”
Lunar: “Oh, now I’ll definitely visit, just to spite you.”
Daisy: “Gee, that’s lazy of him. Here, this will help you.”
Lunar: “Didn’t your brother tell you not to give me one of those?”
Daisy: “Oh, he’s just still salty that he lost against you. And you know that I was never a huge part in you rivalry.”
Lunar: “True enough. Well, thanks! And bye again!”
Daisy: “Good bye!”
Now I wanna try this catching thing myself. I think I’ll catch one of those birds.
So first, weaken the Pokémon…
…then throw a Poké Ball…
…wait…
…and gotcha!
“I think I’ll call you Nostredame, after that astrologist. So welcome to the team, Nostredame!”
“Good, now you should feel better, Nostredame.”
Lunar: “Yeah, I’d like to have some Poké Balls.”
Lunar: “Thanks!”
Clerk: “Come again!”
Lunar: “Oh hey, the old man got his coffee!”
Woman: “I have to take the winding trail in Viridian Forest when I go.”
Old Man: “Hm? What is that red box you have?”
Lunar: “That’s a Pokédex. It gathers data on caught Pokémon.”
Old Man: “Ah, so you’re working on your Pokédex. Then let me give you a word of advice. Whenever you catch a Pokémon, the Pokédex automatically updates its data.”
Lunar: “…I just said that.”
Old Man: “You don’t know how to catch a Pokémon?”
Lunar: “I do. Look, I even caught this Pidgey here myself.”
Old Man: “I suppose I had better show you then!”
Lunar: Maybe I should just stop talking to old people.
Lunar: “You’re not even weakening it first? Some guide you are…”
Lunar: “No. No it wasn’t. But you’re probably not even listening to me.”
Old Man: “And here, take this, too.”
Old Man: “If there’s something you don’t understand, watch that. It will teach you about the basics of being a Pokémon Trainer. I recorded all of these messages!”
Lunar: “Now I will definitely not listen to them.”
Old Man: “I wonder who the Leader is?”
Lunar: “Oh my, it’s a wonder! An old man that isn’t blabbering on and on!”
Catch Pokémon and expand your collection. The more you have, the easier it is to battle.
Will do, but I think this town also had a west exit.
So let’s check what Pokémon appear on this route…
So more Rattatas…
Also, is that…?
Sol: “You’re off to the Pokémon League?”
Lunar: “That is my final goal, wanted to look at the building first.”
Sol: “Forget about it! You probably don’t have any Badges, do you?”
Lunar: “You don’t, either. So what are you doing here?”
Sol: “Uhh…
Anyway, the guard won’t let you through without them.”
Lunar: “Speaking from experience?”
Sol: “By the way, did your Pokémon get any stronger?”
Lunar: Uh Oh. This could get dicey. 
Sol: “Go, Pidgey!”
Lunar: “Oh, you caught a Pidgey, too? Well, go, Genji! And use Bubble!”
Sol: “Oh, some new moves! Anyway, Pidgey, use Tackle!”
Lunar: “Genji, keep using Bubble!”
Sol: “The following should stop you from hitting: Pidgey, use Sand Attack!”
…accuracy fell.
Lunar: “It hasn’t much HP left, a Tackle should end this!”
Lunar: “Well, I’ve not much choice left. Use Tackle!”
Sol: “Bulbasaur, use Tackle as well!”
A few Tackles later
Lunar: “Honestly, I did. Two critical hits from my side, two missed hits from your’s…
However, you didn’t even use a Grass Type move, I’m sure your Bulbasaur should have access to one by now,
after all, Genji has a Water Type move as well.”
Sol: “Ugh, I thought there’s nothing worse than losing to you. There is: Getting lectured by you after I lost. Anyway: I heard the Pokémon League is crawling with tough Trainers. I have to figure out how to get past them. You should
quit dawdling and get a move on!”
Lunar: “Oh, now you’re encouraging me?”
Sol: “Well, I still want you to stay my rival. That way I improve myself as well.”
And there he goes. But now let’s see what other Pokémon here are.
*Hmm, that bird I saw before, Spearow, I think…
This is my ultimate goal. I’ll be back later.
…another level up…
…and a monkey. A violent monkey. I think I’ll catch you.
Lunar: “And I think I’ll name you after a truly legendary Trainer. It is said that he only needed one Poké Ball to catch Mew. So welcome to the team, Norris!”
Lunar: “And for training you guys, I’ll check out what Pokémon appear on…”
A bug…
…still more Rattatas…
…more Pidgeys…
…and another bug.
But which one should I catch?
I underestimated the amount of stuff that happens in the beginning, so quite a long update. The draw for the starters also meant that I actually had to decide something, so sorry for those that voted Charmander (and Bulbasaur). Anyway, as hinted, vote for
Route 2:
0 voters
I’d again like to have some nickname suggestions, so go wild. Although I forgot to mention last time that there’s a character limit of ten, that’s why I had to shorten some names. So I guess don’t go too wild? ^^;
I also don’t really like naming Pokémon after other Pokémon. Since you were mostly pretty fast with voting last time, you have ca. 48 hours. So go forth and vote~
I vote Weedle, and I want it to be named Beezoar. 
I SWEAR IF YOU GUYS DON’T VOTE FOR RATTATA THIS TIME I’LL GUT ALL OF YOU.
I mean those AWFUL bugs are in Viridian Forest immediately after this route so you don’t even have to lose out on one of those if you want(Not that you should, because Beedrill is legitimately the worst thing in the game and Butterfree is not much better).
GIVE ME RATTATA, AND CALL IT HYPER FANG.
Awesome update @VyseGolbez. It was extensive and you covered pretty much everything. Kudos for your dedication.
For this time’s choice I’m going to vote for rattata for the exact same reason @Kanon said. However, for the name, I differ. I vote for calling it something faintly similar to Hyper Fang, but not related to fangs exactly. I vote for “Ultra mama”, because why not?
Okay, I thought about it for a while. and I think I know which one I’ll catch.
And there it is. As always, a bit weakening, and then:
Lunar: “Welcome to the team! With those fangs you’re sporting, I’ll call you HYPER FANG. Hope you’ll honor that name in the future.”
But before I leave for the forest, I should really buy some antidotes and train you guys up a bit.
That’s part one done.
Lunar: “HYPER FANG, you’re a bit weak for now, so you should watch your teammates a bit and learn from that.”
Lunar: “Huh, Norris, seems you’re also learning from teaching others.”
Lunar: “And you’re starting to get more confident, HYPER FANG. I think you are now able to train on your own.”
Lunar: “Like that! Just keep on getting stronger!”
HYPER FANG grew to LV. 7!
Lunar: “More strength!”
Lunar: “Now listen, HYPER FANG, you’re pretty small, you should be able to use that to your advantage and strike the enemy with blinding speed. So try it out!”
Lunar: “Yeah, exactly like that!”
Eventually
Lunar: “Okay, that’s enough for you, HYPER FANG. Norris, it’s your turn now.”
Lunar: “Norris, I have already seen some of your hand work, but I wanna see some of your foot work now. So try kicking the enemy!”
Lunar: “Like that! While it isn’t a Roundhouse kick, it’ll work for now.”
Norris grew to LV. 10!
Lunar: “And with that, you’re also ready to go. Nostredame, you’re up! And as a bird, try using your wings! You could create a Gust by flapping them, for example.”
Lunar: “Perfect!”
Lunar: “Now, we’re ready for the forest.”
What will await us here?
Girl: “Have you caught one already?”
Lunar: “Yes, but it hasn’t learned any bite-techniques yet.”
Girl: “It’ll learn them eventually.”
Woman: “Be careful you don’t get lost.”
Lunar: “How bad can it be?”
Viridian Forest Theme
Weaken Pokémon before attempting capture! When healthy, they may escape!
See, even this sign knows!
Teenager: “They’re all itching to get into some Pokémon battles!”
Lunar: “I’ll gladly take them on!”
Probably should put Nostredame at the lead, if they’re all using bugs.
Yep, this is a maze. Where to go first? Well first let’s read this sign.
If your Pokémon are weak and you want to avoid battles, stay away from grassy areas!
I might also want to avoid battles if my Pokémon are too strong, because then the battles don’t really give me much.
Boy: “That’s why you can never have too many Poké Balls.”
Lunar: “Agreed, that’s why I still have over ten left.”
And that item there is…
But I wanna check the middle path first. Ah, another sign:
Makes sense to advertise them in a forest full of Pokémon inflicting poison.
And on the left path someone lost a…
Nice! Now for the right path:
Ah, my first Trainer battle that’s not against Sol!
Bug Catcher: “Let’s battle 'em!”
Lunar: “We trained that before, use Gust!”
Lunar: “Very good!”
Lunar: “And again!”
Rick: “Ssh! You’ll scare the bugs away. Another time, okay?”
Lunar: “I recommend you to catch something else than bugs though, otherwise it’ll only need a Flying Type Pokémon to crush your team, like I demonstrated.”
Rick: “But bugs are cool!”
Bug Catcher: “Pokémon Trainer!”
Lunar: “Nostredame, same strategy as last battle! Gust them away!”
Lunar: “And you’re even getting stronger from this!”
Lunar: “And that’s that.”
Doug: “That totally stinks! I’m going to catch some stronger ones!”
Lunar: “Do that!”
Contact Prof. Oak via a PC to get your Pokédex evaluated!
Maybe I’ll do that in the next city.
Someone left something on the way again…
Yoink!
Bug Catcher: “I might be little, but I won’t like it if you go easy on me!”
Lunar: “It’s your funeral.”
Lunar: “You know the drill, Nostredame!”
Anthony: “I lost some of my allowance…”
Lunar: “I warned you.”
But now let’s see what bugs appear here.
So the bugs from outside and their evolutions…
Also a good thing I bought those Antidotes…
Oh, and something that isn’t a bug!
Lunar: “Ooh, nice one, Norris! Seems you learned a new move!”
And it seems I’m near the exit.
And it’s voting time again! Which Pokémon from the Viridian Forest get’s a chance to be on Lunar’s team and what name will it have? It’s your choice! I also got to hear Pikachu’s old cry again. Next time Lunar will also have his first Gym battle.
0 voters
I vote Pikachu, because I’m a weeb with nostalgia goggles and I’m proud of it.
If the Pikachu is male, name it DeVito after the Great Detective Pikachu fan petition. If it’s female, name it Atsuko after the creator of Pikachu’s rough design.
Is it possible to get a kakuna or metapod later on? If so, then I’d vote for Pikachu. However, if this is the last opportunity of getting a metapod or kakuna, I’d like you to catch one and call it Helm’s Deep.
In fact, between kakuna and metapod I’d rather have kakuna because of the evolution. Anyway, I won’t vote for now.
@Kanon since you seem to be the most expert in here, can you get a metapod/kakuna later on?
Kakuna and Metapod both also appear on Route 25. That one will probably be the last one I could catch those. Probably because I’m not sure if and when in the story I’ll do the extra stuff that’s only in the remakes.
I see. Then I’ll go with Pikachu for now and I’ll vote for kakuna later on. For Pikachu’s name. I propose Sparky.
I’d say Pikachu is the best choice here, especially for the 2nd gym fight. As for the nickname, I sadly can’t think of anything as of now.
Beedrill is really good early-game, but levelling up a Weedle is too easy. Get a Kakuna and do it the hard(en) way!
Votes for Kakuna next
You’re sending mixed signals here
Pokémon Sun and Moon is finally out in Europe! I chose the Fire starter! Also a happy Thanksgiving for those from the States! But enough of that, you’re here for a Let’s Play.
But before I continue forward, I’ll look for another Pikachu.
While looking for said Pokémon…
Lunar: “Found you!”
Lunar: “You’ll be called Atsuko, after the woman that first saw a Pikachu. Welcome to the team!”
While training Atsuko…
And now let’s continue our travels through this forest.
Lunar: “Something special in those trees?”
Bug Catcher: “Huh? Ah, no, but did you know that Pokémon evolve?”
Lunar: “Nostredame, they’re yours!”
Charlie: “Bug Pokémon evolve quickly. They’re a lot of fun!”
Lunar: “I can imagine that. And to your question, yes, I did know that Pokémon evolve. Those Metapod were evolved Caterpie, right?”
Charlie: “Yep!”
And the grand prize is…
You can’t catch a Pokémon that belongs to someone else. Throw Poké Balls only at wild Pokémon to catch them!
It should be common sense that that would be stealing, but you never know these days. So good job, sign!
Bug Catcher: “Hey, wait up! What’s the hurry? Why the rush?”
Lunar: “I wasn’t even running…”
Lunar: “Finish him, Nostredame.”
Sammy: “Sometimes, you can find stuff on the ground. I’m looking for the stuff I dropped. Can you help me?”
Lunar: “Uhm, I haven’t seen any items whatsoever in the vicinity. But good luck! Bye!”
Now I’m in a hurry… ^^;
And I found my way through the maze. Finally!
Old Man: "They can be cut down by a special Pokémon move, I hear.
Lunar: “Oh, so no need for any heavy machinery. Good to know!”
Teenager: “You need to be persistent and look everywhere to get different kinds.”
Lunar: “So basically every place houses different Pokémon.”
Woman: “When a Pokémon is evolving, you can stop the process. It’s a technique for raising Pokémon the way they are.”
Lunar: “Had something to do with a B…
Never quite understood it, to be honest.”
Almost there
And there we are!
Same as Viridian City
All Pokémon that appear in battle, however briefly, earn EXP Points.
Heh, I already used this advice!
Man: "They’re all like Bug Catchers, you know, just hobbyists.
Lunar: “That explains the Monotyping.”
Man: “But Pewter Gym’s Brock isn’t like that, not one bit.”
Lunar: “Hope you’re right…”
Lunar: “No. So what are you doing?”
Bug Catcher: “I’m spraying Repel to keep wild Pokémon out of my garden!”
Thieves have been stealing Pokémon fossils from Mt. Moon. Please call the Pewter Police if you have any information.
Crime never rests, huh?
Lunar: “Yes I am.”
Boy: “Brock’s looking for new challengers. Follow me!”
And then he drags me through the whole city:
Lunar: “Will do, but let me look at the rest of Pewter City first.”
The Rock-Solid Pokémon Trainer
Hope this doesn’t mean that he’s monotyping as well, otherwise I’d feel kinda sorry for him…
Woman: “They appeared after Moon Stones fell on Mt. Moon.”
Lunar: “And that’s where Mt. Moon got it’s name from, right?”
Woman: “Yes, before that it was just the Pewter-Cerulean Mountain Range, but Mt. Moon sounds way cooler.”
Ooh, a Museum! I think I’ll take a look.
Lunar: “That’s cheap, count me in.”
Old Man: “Never did I think I would get to see the bones of a dragon!”
Lunar: “News Flash, I think this wasn’t even a Dragon Type.”
Old Man: “But it looks like a dragon!”
Girl: “I asked my daddy to catch me one!”
Father: “Yeah, a Pikachu soon, I promise!”
Lunar: “They rarely appear in the Viridian Forest.”
Father: “Thanks for the info.”
Girl: “Iiih, but in that forest there are all those bugs!”
Father: “Hey, I’ll be there.”
Girl: “Oh right, and with my dad I’m not afraid of anything!”

Man: “What’s so special about it? Looks like an ordinary rock to me.”
Lunar: “Maybe it’s useful for certain Pokémon? There has to be a reason why Clefairy are always near them.”
Old Man: “Humankind first set foot on the moon on that day. I bought a color TV just so I could watch that news.”
Lunar: “‘A small step for a man, but a giant leap for mankind.’ That’s how it went, right?”
And that’s the Museum.
Lunar: “Yes.”
Man: “Weren’t those fossils from Mt. Moon amazing?”
Lunar: “Yeah, captivating.”
He didn’t sit.
Father: “An outsider is a Pokémon that you get in a trade. It grows fast, but it may ignore an unskilled Trainer in battle. If only we had some Badges…”
Lunar: “So first get some Badges, then trade.”
Boy: “Even the weak ones can surprise you if you don’t give up on them.”
Teenager: “It’s totally weak and it cost 500 Pokédollar!”
Lunar: “Maybe this is one of those Pokémon that surprises you when you train it?”
Old Man: “But some moves must be taught to them by people.”
Boy: “Sleep, poison, burn, or paralysis…
Those are all effective. But catching Pokémon is never a sure thing!”
Lunar: “Although you risk the Pokémon fainting with poison and burn.”
Old Man: “Team Rocket is at Mt. Moon? Huh? I’m on the phone! Scram!”
Lunar: “Sorry.”
Hope I don’t run into them.
Boy: “I had two Pikachu, so I figured I might as well trade one.”
Teenager: “When Jigglypuff sings,
Pokémon get drowsy…
…Me, too…
Snore…”
Song
So… sleepy…
There it is. Now I’m ready. My first Gym.
Man: “Do you dare to dream of becoming the Pokémon champ? I’m no Trainer, but I can advise you on how to win. Let me take you to the top!”
Lunar: “Okay, shoot!”
Man: “All right! Let’s get happening! The first Pokémon out in a match is at the left of the Pokémon List. By changing the order of Pokémon, you may gain an advantage. Try different orders to suit your opponent’s party.”
Lunar: “Okay, with this place all but screaming ‘Rock Types’, it’s your turn, Norris. Show them how strong you are.”
Huh, he beat me to here.
Camper: “You’re ten thousand light-years from facing Brock!”
Lunar: “Then I wouldn’t be on this planet.”
Lunar: “Start of with a Karate Chop!”
Lunar: “And again!”
Lunar: “Good!”
Lunar: “Though it isn’t super effective, continue to use Karate Chop.”
Liam: “Light-years isn’t time…
It measures distance! You’re pretty hot.
…But not as hot as Brock!”
Lunar: “We’ll see.”
Brock: “My rock-hard willpower is evident even in my Pokémon. My Pokémon are all rock hard, and have true-grit determination. That’s right - my Pokémon are all the Rock type!”
Lunar: “That’s what I feared.”
Brock: “Fuhaha! You’re going to challenge me knowing that you’ll lose? That’s the Trainer’s honor that compels you to challenge me. Fine, then! Show me your best!”
Lunar: “No, I spoke of fear because it means that your team has a glaring weakness, and I’ll show it to you!”
Fitting music
Lunar: “I choose you, Genji! Show him your Water Gun!”
Lunar: “Wanna see it again? Okay! Genji, Water Gun!”
Brock: “As proof of your victory, I confer on you this… the official Pokémon League Boulderbadge.”
Brock: “Just having the Boulderbadge makes your Pokémon more powerful. It also enables the use of the move Flash outside of battle. Of course, a Pokémon must know the move Flash to use it.”
Lunar: “Okay, I’ll leave then.”
Brock: “A TM, Technical Machine, contains a technique for Pokémon. Using a TM teaches the move it contains to a Pokémon. A TM is good for only one use. So, when you use one, pick the Pokémon carefully. Anyways…
TM39 contains Rock Tomb. It hurls boulders at the foe and lowers its Speed. There are all kinds of Trainers in this huge world of ours. You appear to be very gifted as a Pokémon Trainer. Like that other one who was here not to long ago. So let me make you a suggestion. Go to the Gym in Cerulean and test your abilities.”
Lunar: “That other Trainer? You don’t happen to speak of a Trainer with a Bulbasaur?”
Brock: “Indeed I do! You know each other?”
Lunar: “Yeah, he’s my rival.”
Brock: “He’s a good rival. He sweeped me quite similarly like you did with his Bulbasaur. Lost twice in such a short amount of time…”
Lunar: “I bet you usually get challenged by those Bug Catchers.”
Brock: “Yeah, and against them my Rock Pokémon have the upper hand.”
Lunar: “Well, I’m off to Cerulean City then.”
Brock: “Good luck on your journey!”
Man: “May I ask how you felt after you won?”
Lunar: “It was an amazing feeling. My first badge… Now I truly am on my way to becoming the next Pokémon champ!”
Oh hey, isn’t that one of Prof. Oak’s aides?
Aide: “I’m glad I caught up to you. I’m Prof. Oak’s Aide. I’ve been asked to deliver this, so here you go.”
Aide: “Well, I must be going back to the Lab. Bye-bye!”
“Dear Lunar,
Here is a pair of Running Shoes for my beloved challenger. Remember, I’ll always cheer for you! Don’t ever give up!
From Mom”
Aww, thanks mom!

This time you’ll have to vote without seeing the Pokémon again. Hope you can live with that.
Route 3
0 voters
Like always, also give me some nickname ideas. As a sidenote, as was hinted by an NPC this update, I’ll soon be able to buy a certain Fish Pokémon for 500 Pokédollar. I’ll count this Pokémon extra, so outside the “One per Route” rule. So nickname ideas for this one (it’s a Magikarp) are also welcome. Additionally, I usually forget that TMs exist, so any recommendations for the usage of those are also welcome. And this time I don’t forget to give the timelimit, you have approximately 48 hours.
Yay~ 
I vote Jigglypuff, and I want it named Aoi because its voice is angelic~
My vote is for Nidoran male, but if you’re going to catch a Jigglypuff then name it Kanon because it’s singing puts people to sleep. Additionally, it should learn an electric move to shock the sleeping Pokemon. 
If I had noticed that you already had a Mankey, I would’ve voted Jigglypuff…
