Jun. 1st, 2016 05:31 amDad and I saw a family of ducks on Station Road on our way to the gym yesterday, and both I and someone behind me were sure enough to come to a stop right before them to let them cross.

Mom got me a flyer for openings at the Target store in South Setauket, which is less than half an hour to drive from here. While I would be glad to start making some money again, this presents a dilemma regarding Pokemon Black.
To start with, while I have already forfeited a lot of stuff by abandoning the games before playing White beyond the first gym, one thing that might slightly make up for that is the potential to visit Black City at its fullest. I already had no chance of seeing much at White Forest, having started the game for the sake of giveaways while I still had yet to transfer Deoxys from Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs to Pokemon Diamond, and also planned at the time to play Pokemon Battle Revolution and Pokemon HeartGold and Platinum after seeing Diamond through (not to mention the need for local friends (of which I only had one at the time, who hasn't even said anything to me in years) to provide BC or WF to visit in order to get people to come there in one's own game).
Here's the deal with Black City and White Forest: There are Trainers who technically live there when the game begins, and also return when you visit the opposite equivalent place in someone else's game, but they leave after a point system pertaining to them reaches 0. So, from the start of the game, they'd leave after 4, 6, 14, or 16 days (to the minute) after you begin. (Thankfully, only three leave after the 4-day mark, but there are many more that do so after day 6.)

Even though I already have the game and player's guide, now is not a good time to start playing. My Pokedex is currently in Indiana, there's bound to be more brush to clean up, and now Mom has to arrange a doctor's appointment due to an ailment on my foot that's acted up for the second time only a few days ago and has gotten pretty bad by now. I would also like not to rush myself through Link's Awakening or abandon it midgame, and while I'm now at the fourth dungeon in that game, I don't know how much time will remain before our trip to Pennsylvania after I complete it.
Whenever I decide to start playing Pokemon Black, I intend to take one day to get some stuff done before actually starting early the next morning, so that I can have as much time to myself as humanly possible for at least four days straight. From there, I hope to defeat at least two or three gym leaders each day (counting the Elite Four as one), and will determine after each day whether I should relax or step up my game.
