Firelocke: Update 2

Today is day 2 of my Pokemon Y Firelocke. In the last post, I introduced you to the first two members of my Firelocke team: Firefox the Fennekin and Firebird the Fletchling. I left off at the entrance to Santalune Forest.

Today, I journeyed through Santalune Forest. On the way, I caught a Pansear, who I nicknamed Firemonkey. I didn't manage to evolve Firefox and Firebird before I made it to Santalune City, but I figured there would be better training areas on the outskirts of town. While training there, I caught a Litleo, who I dubbed Firelion.

Firefox and Firebird are quite close to evolving now. It will take a while to evolve Firelion, and I shall have to find a Fire Stone to evolve Firemonkey. I'm going to keep searching the outskirts of Santalune City to find a Growlithe, who I will call Firedog.

Firelocke: Update 1

I started my Firelocke today! (If you want more info on a Firelocke, click here.)

I chose Fennekin as my starter and nicknamed it Firefox. It took quite a few random encounters to find a Fletchling for my team. I finally caught one, and nicknamed it Firebird (have you caught on to the theme yet?).

I left off at Santalune Forest, where I will work on training Firefox and Firebird. I would ideally like them to evolve before I reach Santalune City.

That's it for my first update! I'll post the next one tomorrow!

Update 3

The last time I posted, I had just gotten my new partner, Froakie. Since then, I have had some exciting adventures!

Here is a picture of Froakie's first battle! After receiving Froakie, I was challenged to a battle. I battled against Shauna, who chose Fennekin as their partner. Froakie won the battle with ease.

New Pokemon - Litleo and Pyroar

The new Pokemon Litleo is a very cute little Fire and normal type Pokemon.

Litleo honestly reminds me of Shinx, released in generation four. However, I might have a hard time finding a spot for this Pokemon on my team. Fennekin is adorable, and if I don't choose Fennekin as my Kalos starter, then I am choosing Charmander as the Kanto starter. There are also Fletchling and Talonflame to consider as well. Decisions, decisions.

Back to Litleo though. Litleo evolves into Pyroar, which has different male and female appearances.

Female Pyroar(Image from the official Pokemon X and Y website.)

The male Pyroar has an impressive mane, although one must wonder how it can hear anything with all of that fur covering its ears. Female Pyroar's mane reminds me of a ponytail, which is probably what they were going for. If I do use this Pokemon on my team, I think that I will catch a male Litleo to evolve into Pyroar, because I prefer the appearance of the male Pyroar's mane.

What do you think? Would you choose the male or female Pyroar?
