The encounters are rigged so that Pidove won't appear before you beat the first gym.

Wow, really?!? I thought I remembered Pidove being available in Dreamyard, but I guess maybe that's Pinwheel forest I was thinking of? that's a good example of my memory failing me pretty hardcore, I guess. like I said, I totally forgot the Pokemon Musical was a thing until the guy handed me the prop case in BW2.
Mop it up:
PokéStar Studios was the best thing to ever come out of any of the games, I'd gladly take a full spinoff game like that.
That is all.

That'd actually be awesome. it's an idea that could ACTUALLY be fleshed out into something amazing. especially with a Super Mario Maker-esque scripting component to it. sadly, that's an idea too awesome for Gamefreak. better call Genius Sonority up on the phone.

Here's a fun thing about this gen 5: Surf has no gym badges required to use it. If someone trades you a Pokémon that knows surf you can use it right then and there.
Also apparently I can surf on my little tadpole thingy. That has to be illegal somewhere.
Wild pokemon you find while surfing are usually about the same level as the ones in the tall grass but you do occasionally run into high level trainers though who will curbstomp you.
