What Happens When You Leave Town Without A Starter Pokemon? (Part 3)

In Pokemon games, you can't leave most starting areas without having a Pokemon. But what would happen if you left town without a Pokemon?

► What would happen if you were able to leave town without getting a starter? Today, I'll be testing out and seeing what happens when I hack Pokemon Black and White, Pokemon Sun and Moon, Pokemon Colosseum and XD, and Pokemon HeartGold and Soul Silver for the Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo GameCube to see how the game reacts when I encounter pokemon without having a starter, or any Pokemon of my own!

► Welcome to PokeTips! I'm your number one source for all things Pokemon Sword and Shield, Pokemon on the Nintendo Switch and Pokemon Lets Go Pikachu and Eevee news! I will have you updated on all the latest and greatest Pokemon information, rumors, leaks guides and tutorials about Pokemon Nintendo Switch games!

“why is Bianca in the middle of a table?”
“WHY IS CHERI YELLING AT BIANCA?”
*_”WHY IS BIANCA A BOX?!”_*

Sun/Moon is LITERALLY Killer Queen: Bites the Dust. Small boy tries to avoid a grown man, but every time he tries he just wakes up at home, and the same things happen.

Leaving town without a pokemon is basically suicide

The starters are near your house because of the “cutscene” that involves your starter and meowth

[somepotato]

Pokémon games be like:

Red and blue: has no colour

Black and white: *has colour*

“Mom I had a weird dream. I woke up, but then I got dragged through the wall and saw 3 weird Pokémon, then I woke up.”

Bianca's a table, all of her dialogue is coming from the present box, and another present box just decides to walk through the door

Apparently the drug problem in Unova was worse than I thought

4:09 when you return home for the first time, there is a cutscene with the starter you choose while your mom says how cute they are.

[ThatGhostGal]

I’ve got a guess on why the starter Pokémon are outside your character’s house in the void. I assume it’s something similar the first two Paper Mario games, where objects are stored in the void so they can be loaded in during a cutscene. This probably means the Pokémon are probably stored there so the game can load the Pokémon you chose in order to play the cutscene where you take it to see your mom and Meowth.

[akaboji]

i think an interesting thing to try (in a single game or all of them!) is, if you leave town without choosing a starter and trigger a rival battle event, what starter would they have? since their starter depends on which one you picked! i've experimented a lot with dppt glitches but never thought to try this...
for example, leaving town in pokemon heartgold/soulsilver (and possibly catching a regular pokemon or using a code to generate a random pokemon in the pc box), then passing over the tiles in cherrygrove city that trigger the rival battle with silver. if you have a normal pokemon in your party, i'd assume the battle would load correctly, but i wonder what starter he'd be given!

2:02 "Is this a trainer?" No, that's Carmen Sandiego!

[Christian-rnur]

If you're ever wondering why stuffs just in strange places like in sun and moon, they're kind of like placeholders. It's used to save on memory - lots of games do it so they don't have to spawn in new assets, they can just move them around instead when they're needed.

Poketips: Guess who’s coming out...? It’s Bianca and Cheren!
Me: *Confuse screaming*

You can't leave town without a Pokémon...
You need to be 10 years old to have one...
wich means you are locked in a town for 10 years!
