Wrapping up Saffron City

Wrapping up Saffron City

A few loose ends in Saffron City 

We have mostly taken care of the things that we had to do here in Saffron City, save for a few minor loose ends!  So before we depart for the Seafoam Islands by way of Fuchsia City, why don't we wrap up the final bits here?

Assuming that you have completed the path as it is outlined above, all that should be left is to visit two homes in the City, one to learn about an item that we need, and one to learn a special move.  So, exit the Pokecenter and go around the block to the next street and enter the house here to be yelled at by the girl who is writing a letter, before talking to the young man, who will clue you in that someone named Copy Cat wants a Pokedoll!

A quick check of our inventory reveals that we have a Pokedoll -- because we purchased one a long ways back, aware that we would need it here!  Okay, *I* was aware that we would need it, you probably did not know WHY we would need it, but as long as you are following this walkthrough you should have, in your bag, a shiny new Pokedoll too!

Exit the house and, two streets up, enter the next house, which turns out to be the home of a young girl known far and wide by the nickname "Copy Cat" for her rude and unceasing mimicry of pretty much everybody!  A quick chat with her parents on the ground floor reveals that she has paid dearly for her predisposition to mimic, but what can you do?  Kids will be monsters... Errr... Kids!

Head upstairs now, and talk to Copy Cat -- the instant you say hello she spies the Pokedoll that is sticking out of your pack, and latches on to it!  She is, in fact, so pleased with this "gift" that she offers to teach one of your Pokemon the move that earned her that unfortunate nick name -- Mimic!

Select whichever of your team you want to learn this move -- or don't -- you do not have to, this is simply an illustration of the potential for learning that move, after all!  For instance, I had her teach it to my HM Mule in order to create the video of it being learned, but what you did not see was my resetting the game after leaving and after I stopped filming, because while that move might be a good one, there really is no point in teaching it to an HM Mule!

With this one lone loose end now neatly tied up, it is time to leave Saffron -- a City that we worked very hard to reach -- as we begin the next strenuous path on our long journey towards Pokemon Mastery and Fame!  To the Seafoam Islands!  Err... No... To Fachsia
