Choosing your Starter
At the beginning of the game, you are in your house with your male rival,Cheren. You are waiting for your female rival,Belle to show up. When she does, both of your rivals urge you to open your birthday present from Professor Aragagi. In the box, you will find three Pokeballs(Containing Pokabu(Fire Type),Mijumaru(Water Type),Tsutaja(Grass Type). This is where you choose your starter Pokemon. Choose wisely. Once you choose, your rivals will take the other Pokemon. The male rival will receive the Pokemon with the type advantage to yours, while the female rival will receive the Pokemon with the type disadvantage to yours. After you select your Pokemon, a battle will ensue with your female rival. Bel (if you picked Tsutarja) Mijumaru Lv. 5 (if you picked Pokabu) Tsutarja Lv. 5 (if you picked Mijumaru) Pokabu Lv. 5 Beat her, and collect $500. After the battle, your room will be a mess. Nonetheless, your male rival will heal your Pokemon, and then challenge you to a battle. Cheren (if you picked Tsutarja) Pokabu Lv. 5 (if you picked Pokabu) Mijumaru Lv. 5 (if you picked Mijumaru) Tsutarja Lv. 5
These first two battles aren't much, considering the only attacks the Pokemon know are Tackle and either Leer, or Tail Whip. After your second battle, your male rival will storm out of your room, upset that he lost. Follow him outside.
He will be downstairs with Belle saying some stuff and he goes.In your home town you have to go to Belle's house and her father will be yelling at her like an idiot and she goes off to prof. lab.Now you need to go to the prof. lab and get the pokedex also note that you should give your starter an english nickname so you can understand it. As you leave the Lab, your mom will show up and be all proud of you and stuff, then she'll give all three of you a Town Map, which lets you take a look at the Isshu region in depth. Go ahead and use it from your Key Items if you'd like.
