Lumi Plays Pokémon: White 2 Bug Monotype Run- Part 1

It's finally time! I've been excited to get this started, and after a little waiting, today was the day I could get started.

So very quickly- the rules:

Only Bug type Pokémon can be used in battle (beginning once the first one becomes obtainable)

I can use non-Bugs for HMs

I'm playing on set mode for extra challenge

And that's about it!

So- after answering the age old question, I got the run underway. This may be long, so it's going under the cut!

So after naming myself Lumi, I had the first big question of the run- what to name my rival? Well, it took some thought, but there's no bigger rival to a bug... than a boot.

Some more cute cutscenes later (I love this game!) I had to pick a 'starter'. And considering the type I've been tasked to use, the choice was obvious. I picked Tepig.

Why Tepig, you may ask? You might think that I should've gone with Oshawott, so Boot ended up with Snivy, which is weak to Bug! That was my first thought too, but the actual better choice is Tepig.

The rival in BW2 has the same team by the end of the game no matter the starter, with just the starter itself being different- and the type of elemental monkey they get. If I pick Tepig, Boot gets the only version of their team that doesn't include a Fire type. And besides, Sewaddle is super effective on both Water for Oshawott, and Grass for the eventual Simisage.

Anyway, I defeat Boot, go through some more cutscenes before I'm finally let out of Aspertia City! Alder tries to train me up in the next town, but no, I'm making a beeline for my real starter! On the second route, after Tepig (named Oinkers) takes care of the trainers in the way, I can finally properly begin the run.

Here's Oinkers catching his replacement. Sorry Oinkers. (Except actually the nature on that Sewaddle wasn't great so I caught a second!)

I decided to name my Sewaddle Teabag. It was a name put forward by @haveyouusedthispokemon, albeit somewhat jokingly I think! I liked the thought of this lil bundle of leaves wrapped up in a lil bag, and then getting dunked in water- Teabag will be my answer to Water types after all!

The lil man in question.

I got Teabag up to level 5, the level a starter should be, and then boxed Oinkers so the run could properly start. Teabag wasted no time making quick work of the remaining trainers on the route, good job buddy!

I grinded him up to level 8 to get Bug Bite before I headed to Floccesy Ranch and fought Boot again! It was no problem for Teabag. 2 Bug Bites and he was done.

Then some more training at the ranch, followed by a first encounter with Team Plasma.

Finally, we went back to train with Alder, then returned to Aspertia City, ready for the gym.

I'll need name suggestions for Venipede too, so please let me know what you think I should call it! Hope you're excited to hear about this run, I'm very excited to get this going. Part 2 coming soon!

Teabag is sitting at level 12, and I'm confident he can handle it! Next time I play, we'll be getting a gym badge and then another team member- Venipede!

New Pinned post!

Hello and welcome to haveyouusedthispokemon ^^

We're in round 3 of going through the pokedex, and this time we're focusing on Shiny pokemon! Rather than use, we're simplifying the question to 'Do you have this shiny pokemon?' We all know they're a little bit rarer, ultimately worth the same, but really cool to find and add that special feel to some of our favorites. So, with that in mind, our polls are aiming to figure out what shiny pokemon people actually look for! If you have the shiny, did you hunt for it or was it by luck of the draw? If you don't have the shiny, are you looking for it or is it not in your scope?

We're going in National Dex order, with Regional Variants being posted next to their National counterparts. A poll will be posted every 4 hours, and will be tagged with the pokemon, the region introduced in, and #pokepoll. Each poll will also include a read more that feature stories or pictures of shinies that users have submitted. If you'd like to submit your own story and/or photo, you can do so here!

Thank you for reading, and hope you have a great time!

The poll options will have several yes answers with a generation attached - if you've used the pokemon, please pick the option with the generation you first used them in! Below each poll will be a list of games they are available in, and this link to how other pollers define 'used!'

pick your fave from my fav pokemon!

SOME answers being condensed because I love both evo stages/outcomes and it felt sensible to do so. feel free to clarify in the tags if you do choose one of those!

my faves shift about somewhat, but these are the highlights right now. some of these of very motivated by specific pokemon I've had in games. honourable mentions to all the cat pokemon that didn't make it on, especially skitty, my first favourite pokemon that I chose as a fave purely because pink cat!

also small edit to mention inspired by @haveyouusedthispokemon!
