Eh, my run, my rules. XP Seriously though - I like to give them their own names which are semi-unique, 'cause it makes them feel like mine.

Update #2: Package Puzzles
My lovely maid, I pick you to be my partner~
She seems a little... spaced out.
She'll need a name if she's coming with me - so I don't get confused in battles~
Hmm... my favourite maid is... Mey-Rin. Is that okay, hun?CSakuya: *blissfully staring into space**sweatdrop* I'll take that as a yes...
It seems like that fierce-looking shrine maiden also has a trainer... poor Marisa
Let's check dem stats.
So... she's so relaxed she's blissful? *confused*
Mey-Rin: Ah, hello. Are you my new trainer? Pleased to meet you~ 
Pleased to meet ya too, Mey-Rin~So off we go~
Err... okay then?
>.< This sounds so ominous... what's gonna happen to me!?
I see...
Oh goodness, Mey-Rin! Quick, lemme heal ya with this Potion~
Yeah, I got that. Touhou die, I've seen it.
Okay, let's conserve our strength, Mey-Rin... just, KO it.
Good gal~
O.o" Don't you even care that it could have died!? You monster!
Oh... so... this is normal then? Still... this seems more and more like a bloodsport.
O.o
Damn birds, get outta the way, I got some 'xploring ta do!
Gee, thanks mister! You guys rock. I'm definitely going to your store and dropping your name as the person who referred me~
Huff... puff... finally, we made it~
Just in time, too, huh Mey-Rin?Mey-Rin: Yeah... don't think I could have helped out much longer...Okay, we've healed ourselves up... wait, what does this kid want?
Lies! You cannot heal the dead!
*rambling* Well, actually I'm from Beige Town, and I'm just following my hero Red on his journey, so I decided to start out in Pallet Town and-Mey-Rin: Yep! We're from Pallet Town~ *nudges me in the stomach to shut me up*
Umm... sure? I guess?Shopkeep: Here's a package for him! Take it back!Oof... what on earth is he ordering!?Let's see if we can go anywhere else...
Jeez! Sariel! Fine, I'll go away! I need to take this package back to that old guy anyway...
She's a bit ditzy... great fighter though~
Yeah, we're best buds~ *hugs Mey-Rin*Mey-Rin: *blushing slightly* Aww... shucks~So what on earth did I bring you?
A custom Toho Orb!? That thing weighed a ton!
O.o Where on earth did you come from, creepy person?
How useful- wait, I need to see a Touhoumon for it to work? That's useless! *throws arms up in air*
I suppose I can take your junk if you're throwing in these~ Shii-ny~ <3
For what? Filling an encyclopedia? He isn't paying me, why would I want to?
O.o" I don't know who you think you are, but I'm that kind of person. *flees*
Right, Mey-Rin. We've leaving this dump behind to go on our journey~Mey-Rin: Okay~ *smiles up at me*Let's see who we find first...
Ah, a CMystia. I've never managed to train one beyond it's Stage 1 form, either due to death or simply because otherwise I'd have too many flying types.
Still, I know that they can be pretty powerful, so a good, if basic, start.
You won't murder it, Mey-Rin~ That's what you WON'T do.
Excellent~ Mo' friends, no problems~
See, here's the encyclopedia in action. And... it seems that I unlock entries, rather than write them... why on earth is this thing blank then?
Stereotypical pink-haired gal name go~!
CMystia: Well, it's typical, but it'll do~
No wonder my new friend is so calm about their new name, huh.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So yeah, Route 1 catch is a CMystia. As far as the catches on the Route go... I'm somewhat disappointed - considering that there are possible CKanako and CSuwako, as well as the generally better CAya and CChen on Route 1, CMystia is a bit outclassed as far as potential catches go. Not a bad catch though - since she's common as mud and therefore I can ignore subsequent CMystia in the run - very useful when you're looking for rarer 'mon.
I think, of the Route 1 'mon, my favourite is CKanako. I've never managed to get a CSuwako in a Nuzlocke run, but CKanako's Grass/ Electric typing is ridiculously overpowered by her early access of Thunderpunch and Leaf Blade, giving her mighty STAB by about Level 25 tops. She doesn't really get coverage, but then again, she doesn't really need it either.
