CHAPTER 0: PROLOGUE
As such, the game begins. However, before we start I’d like to get through the first parts of the game before we have Pokemon, and I feel it would be a good time to better explain the run.
I set the settings before I begin the run. I don’t mind setting the run from Shift to Set if you want and I’ll probably do that later.
The intro is the same as Emerald despite being CNT edition so I see no purpose to screenshot those. We meet Professor Birch, and we put down our name.
Fun fact: I’ve never played Emerald as a female protagonist.
Anyways, for those on Mekkah’s discord, a few of you might understand the reference for the nickname here. If not, it won’t matter either way, but I was just drained from ideas and didn’t want to name the character “serif” again.
Now, here’s what the Day and Night patch does. It adds a dark filter on the overworld when the game’s time is at night. It was roughly 8 PM when I was playing, and I’ll almost always be playing during the day. However, I’ll play at night when it’s for a specific evolution.
To note: Sprites in this game have been altered to more closely match their newer generation sprites. They’re animated too, which is really cool!
I pick up Treecko, but he won’t be used at all in the run. Instead, I’ll swap him out for a submitted egg. Anyways, I KO the wild Zigzagoon to save Professor Birch. After that, I go to Oldale Town on my way to battle Brendan.
Well, actually, I don’t. I have access to a PC now, which means now I’m able to retrieve eggs to use, and I might as well swap out Treecko so I can have somethinThat is, if I had any at the moment. I’m currently waiting on more submissions to be sent to RandomWizard before I can begin. of course, because it’s an egglocke, I don’t know what’s in the eggs yet or how many I’ll have in the save when I begin or when more are added throughout the run, but once I have a lot, the run can finally start.
And that’ll end the part. If you have any other questions, don’t feel afraid to ask me or to reply to the thread. If you want to submit eggs, submit them to @RandomWizard!
