First Run!

The first time I explored the beach, I was a little overwhelmed. I had trouble focusing on the first Pokemon I saw, which was Pidgey. There were three flying right in front of the Zero One! Professor Oak liked the pose of the Pidgey I brought him and gave me highest marks for it. The size was so-so, but the technique was good (right in the middle of the frame) and there were other Pidgey in the picture, which I learned is always a good thing. Next, I saw a Pikachu. He was just sitting there, waiting for his picture to be taken. I got a decent size shot of him, he was in the middle of the frame and he looked happy. Then a Doduo ran across my path before I was ready. I got a shot of him as he ran away, and even though the pose was great he was just too small in the frame. Next, I tried to get a picture of Butterfree. There were many around, but it was tough to get a good shot because it kept moving around so much! I saw a Lapras surface in the ocean in the distance and quickly snapped a shot. He was way too far in the distance for it to be any good, though. Meowth kept popping up, but my favorite picture was of him passed out after the Pidgey’s got mad at him for raiding their nest. On my first excursion, I took pictures of six different kinds of Pokemon. I have to say, it is a very nerve-wracking experience. I hate that I have to keep moving in the Zero One rather than walking around and being able to take my time. It's all part of Professor Oak's plan to not disturb or upset the Pokemon too much. Thankfully, I can revisit each area of the island as many times as I want so I can get the best pictures possible!
