Date played: January 15th
Platform: 3DS
Well, I played a bit more Pokemon Moon with my daughter and once again, it was a great activity for us to do together. We talk about the Pokemon we're catching and fighting, we talk about where we found secret items, about where to go next, about what to buy at the shop, etc. It's pretty damn cool.
We made it through Route 3, but stayed there a bit longer to catch a few Pokemon. We then headed to town where we were congratulated by the island's elder for our victory at the trials. We were now ready to battle against him directly! The battle wasn't too hard, since we kind of grinded a little bit in the previous area. He did have a couple of sneaky moves, but we beat him easily enough. We were rewarded with another Z-Crystal, which grants our Pokemon a special Combat-Type attack. We are now ready to head to the next island!
During our journey, we had a couple of exciting moments together. The first is when both of our Grubbins evolved into Charjabugs! Grubbin was one of our favorite monsters, so we were both really happy to see it get stronger. The design of Charjabug is pretty great, it almost looks like a school bus with spikes... I love it. The other moment is when my daughter's Pichu evolved into the game's iconic mascot, Pikachu. What's really cool about this evolution is that Pichu doesn't evolve naturally through leveling. Instead, he evolves when he has a strong relationship with it's trainer. That's why I spent a good amount of time showing my daughter how to feed and pet her Pichu, so I was really happy that it paid off so quickly.
