Let's Play Pokemon Pearl Part 1: Introductions

To get that "ESRB Notice", hold the L and R triggers at start-up.

That's what you say now, wait 'til you get to know me.

Rowan: ...and I study Pokemon, they are our friends, trainers capture them and battle or just use them as their personal butlers. I, however, study them.

What, are you blind? I am a boy named ABSENT (all caps), I think you need glasses.

I guess those glasses helped. Now he asks for our friend's name and tells us it is time for our adventure to begin. So let's get to it...

Here we are in our room, which begs the question: Where was Professor Rowan during that whole conversation a moment ago?

You're more concerned about wild Pokemon than me hanging out with Satan??

Absent: Should I get my fishing equipment?
Satan: Don't ask stupid questions.
Absent: It IS a lake we are going to, why can't we fish?
Satan: Shut up. Wait, I left my journal in my room, BRB.

Yeah, I want to sell my soul to be a Pokemon Master.

So, this is about trying to find a rare Pokemon and trying to become famous. We have no choice but to go though, maybe it can lead to something that is essential to the game or maybe we actually do become rich beyond our wildest dreams(crosses fingers). Well, on to the lake.

Rowan: I have a feeling there is, though I can't put my finger on you, err uh, it.
Dawn: Should we go over there to find out?
Rowan: That has got to be the dumbest thing you ever said.

Rowan: I'm enjoying your eyes.
Dawn: Umm....O_o
Rowan: Haha, just kidding darling. Uh, I think we should leave now.

Absent: Just drop it.
Satan: How about I drop you in the lake?
Absent: Slow down, dark prince, didn't we come here for something?
Satan: Hey, I think there's a briefcase in the grass over there.
Absent: What about the wild Pokemon?
Satan: Stop being such a wuss.

Now who's the wuss? Anyway, time to get our starter Pokemon, or get pecked to death by these Starlys.

I will be a pyro for this run. FIRE FIRE! Plus isn't this monkey just the cutest thing. ^_^

Unlike Jesus, we can guess what Chimchar would do. Let's just say it was a one-hit K.O.

Luckily, that was a battle against weaklings, but we have to find the professor to give him back his briefcase.

This makes our task easy...

Absent: ...we should get going though.
Satan: Yeah, we shouldn't risk getting attacked by more wild Pokemon.
Absent: Plus, we have to give these Pokemon back.
Satan: But, I love him. ='(
Absent: I do too, this is love at first fight. (cricket chirps)

We find the professor and Dawn chatting. Professor Rowan then points out the Pokemon we have chosen and decides to go back to the lab, seemingly not mad at all at the fact we stole from his case. Dawn follows him and we decide it's time to go home, too.

Yeah, she is hip.
Absent: Nothing really, just got attacked by wild Pokemon and stole some Pokemon from Prof. Rowan's briefcase. Other than that, nothing too spectacular.

Absent: I don't know where the professor lives though.
Mom: I believe his lab is in Sandgem.
Absent: I'll go apologize for stealing his Pokemon.
Mom: Just explain it was your only option and everything should be fine. Here, take these honey.

Cool, I can run now. Since you can't run in anything but shoes labeled specifically as "Running Shoes".

Will Satan get his souls? Will Absent run in his new running shoes? What is the meaning of life? Will Prof. Rowan get some from Dawn? Find out the answer to none of these questions next time on Let's Play Pokemon Pearl.
