First of all: quite obviously, this is going to contain MAJOR SPOILERS for X/Y. I kept myself spoiler-free (even now) so as I'm playing through I'm seeing everything for the first time. This is a record of that.
DAY 1: (this is from memory since I started this on day 3)
Everything is pretty. HOLY CRAP YOU DON'T HAVE TO PLAY AS A WHITE PERSON. I do anyway because I want the character to look like me. My mum has a bed! That's new. Glad my single mum doesn't have to sleep on the floor for once. My room is way too big and pink. I feel like a spoiled brat. Still no sign of a dad. Please say what happened to him. I don't mind if I was adopted, or if it was a one-night stand.
Yay Rhyhorn! And apparently going to the next town without a Pokémon. After a quick check of absolutely everything and everyone in the entire town, I headed to the next town. That route was short. Really short. But hey, the gates open and pretty.
Next town is even prettier. I meet people. They ask for me to choose my nickname (which totally isn't how nicknames work), so I decide they should all call be Queen of All from now on. Then I get to pick my first Pokémon! I choose Chespin because it looks cute and I had Fennekin's evolution spoiled for me, which looks like a skirt with puffy ears. No thanks. Chespin is male, and I call him conker since he looks like a horse chestnut which is where conkers come from. I think. I do some stuff, but some crap, then start catching ALL THE THINGS because they are new and shiny. I keep telling myself to stop, but I can't help it. At the end of the day, my brand new 3DS XL runs out of battery because they didn't include a charger. LAME. I call Bunnelby, the first Pokémon I caught, Shovel because eh. I call Fletchling Hood because she's based on a robin, and Robin is too obvious a name so hey, Robin Hood, but she's female so just Hood. Scatterbug is called Powdee because I tried to call her Powder but failed.
Team: Conker - Chespin - Male
Shovel - Bunnelby - Male
Hood - Fletchling - Female
Powdee - Scatterbug - Female
