Thoughts on how I'm playing Akihiko? I love ideas on how I can improve so feel free to drop them here! I also know I can be a flake with threads sometimes, so if I've forgotten a thread you'd like to continue, please poke me here or in PMs. I promise you're doing me a favor!

Anon and Screening is on

[The recording comes on to show a tiny blue and white face belonging to Aki's Minun as he sets the Pokegear up. After a moment he runs off, and the viewer can see an Onix laying out a little ways away from the main street. It appears to be sleeping... even though there seems to be an array of pokemon hitting and attacking it. It certainly doesn't ( Read more... )

[The camera shifts around a bit to eventually show a Pikachu looking quite proud of herself, a Minun tucked in at her side looking curious]

Are you sure you're ready for this? There's no going back

Pika!

Heh, that's the way. Alright then.

[A gloved hand comes in on screen, offering her a green and yellow stone. With no hesitation she touches it, and in ( Read more... )

Excuse me... but what do baby Pokemon eat?

[Akihiko turns the camera and...awwww. His Pikachu has made a nest... in the middle of his bed. And is currently curled up with a freshly hatched Minun. In fact it...sounds like she's singing to it]

Gyudon won't let me near it yet, but it seems pretty healthy at least?

[Oh look it's Goldenrod City! And looking over the view is one very exhausted looking Akihiko Sanada riding his Onix. A Pidgetto is perched on the rock snake's tail and a Pikachu is draped over Aki's shoulder.]

Finally made it... Anyone else from SEES still here? I think I need a shower and a nap in that order. [That he does, someone has been in the ( Read more... )

[The video is on it's side, as if Aki was about to make a post only to drop the gear. It's been almost two weeks since he's been seen on the Network, and it's pretty obvious now why: he's made it all the way to the Union Cave.

But having an electric and a half normal type pokemon is not the best for a cave full of rock types, and the scene being ( Read more... )

[The video comes on, and in the background one can see Akihiko offering some water to Gyudon the Pichu with mixed results. But up closer to the camera is one very serious looking Pidgey who apparently has turned the device on and is strutting back and forth in front of it, chatting all the while.

Of course all humans listening in only hear chirping ( Read more... )

[oh look, it's Akihiko! He should totally be at LEAST in Cherrygrove by now, right?

Wrong. In fact he's obviously still on Route 29, out of food, and looking a little tired. On the ground around him are various knocked out pokemon... oh wait one is still twitching. That might be Gyudon, his Pichu, napping though. Someone has been busy TRYING to ( Read more... )

[The Gear comes on, showing a young man in a very nice white outfit, complete with fancy red scarf. He fiddles with it a few moments before putting it aside. In one gloved hand he has the trainer’s tips book, in the other an open granola bar from ‘mom’s packed lunch]

“Each pokemon needs special care to grow and thrive, including love and a ( Read more... )
