Date played: January 29th
Platform: 3DS
My daughter and I played a little bit of Pokemon together during the afternoon. Having completed the trials and beaten the elder on the first island, we finally moved on to Akala Island. This island is much larger than the first one, though I haven't seen a lot of it yet.
Our ship docked in a small city where we were met by the island's elder and captain. They are both young women with a lot of energy and positivity. We also discovered that there are 3 trials on this island instead of just 1!
We fought a couple of trainers named Dexio and Sino. Once the battle was over, they gave us a special item called a Zygarde cube. Apparently, if we collect enough Zygarde cells and cores, which are scattered through the land, we will awaken Zygarde, a legendary Pokemon. After a bit of shopping and exploring the town, we went to Route 4.
Route 4 is pretty simple, but it's got a few new Pokemon. The funniest is a little donkey-like creature called Mudbray. My daughter also loved a little dog-like creature named Lillipup. After many battles, we found a little ranch where we earned ourselves a new rideable Pokemon, Stoutland. This guy is slow, but he can sniff out hidden treasures. That's all we had time for, but I think we're close to reaching Route 5!
