I feel like a bear that just came out of hibernation. Sleepy, hungry and pissed off. 

Then again thats me all the time so that first line is irrelavant.

Also, I saw talk of routes the trainers are going to take... probably not a good idea to take level 1-7 pokemon in a place you normally cant get to without like 3 badges. Just a thought though. I would start off towards the lower parts of the map. 

As for Ryu and Near, we will also be starting off on the route between Lumiose and Santalune. Because Hat shopping!~
