Sorry for giant images, I took the pictures with my phone and I'm trying to figure out how to shrink the images without losing quality. If you have suggestions please tell my in my guestbook! Thank you!

Welcome to the Pokeblog! This is the first ever entry. I'm starting off with a playthrough of my favorite rom hack, Pokemon Crystal Clear. I started off by pretty much completely randomizing how I started. I flipped a coin to see which region I would start in and spun a wheel for the city and my starter. I ended up in Celadon City with a Ponyta. Not my top pick, but I guess that's kinda the point of randomizing it. Besides, I really like using Pokemon I don't usually use. It always feels like something new. Also, since I started in Celadon, a place with a Grass gym, having a fire starter works out really well.
I named my Ponyta Nathan. Get it? Because... like... neigh? Nevermind...
The first thing I did was head over to the game corner to see what was there. Under a poster, I found a switch that lead to a basement with a Team Rocket Grunt. Didn't they lose to a kid and then disband the team?
Anyways, the grunt beat me because I had a level 5 Ponyta (although to be fair he wasn't that good either so it was probably just me being a bad trainer). That was fine. I recovered from my loss and made my way to Mt. Moon to look for a new Pokemon. I should've expected this, but I was really excited when I found a Zubat!
I really like Crobat. It's one of my favorite Pokemon to use. I named the Zubat Monty because for some reason I was thinking about Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Anyways, on the way back, Nathan and Monty became pretty close friends and beat Erika with ease. Nathan pretty much solo'd the whole gym, but Monty could deal with Exeggcute with his 4x super-effective Leech Life. After that, I wasn't too sure what to do next, so I was just looking around for new Pokemon. I found this cool place called Grullo Gorge. There were a ton of Ponyta and Nathan seemed interested in the place, so I'm pretty sure that's where he came from. There was also this Cowboy guy who had a Rapidash. He asked for a battle, but I "politely" declined because I didn't want my two Pokemon killed. I didn't get any pictures, but I think it's nice to have some more private parts of Kanto and Johto not seen here.
Back to looking for Pokemon, I decided to head over to Diglett Cave. Monty helped me catch a Diglett that I named Spudow. I named him after Spudow in Plants vs Zombies Heroes (an EXTREMELY underrated game).
After catching Spudow, I went back to Celadon. I went to the top of my apartment and I found some people giving out a free Eevee. I was ecstatic because last time I played Crystal Clear, my starter was an Eevee that I evolved into an Espeon. I'm hoping this Eevee will be the second-coming of Kevin because he was a huge help. I named her Evelyn because I felt like that worked well enough with Kevin.
Well, that's gonna be where I leave off today. I had a lot of fun making this! I'm excited to do more of these! Above you can see my team. Each time I make one of these entries, I will show my team at the end. I hope you're looking forward to the next entry too! Anyways, thank you for reading and bye!
