Caterpie managed to climb up to where I put the Switch 2 Pro controller, take it, wake the console, and then start a new game of Brilliant Diamond on Shadey’s profile. So far she has managed to name herself 1 and pick the darkest-skinned Lucas. Still trying to name Barry. #Babyplayspokemon

After a long while including some swapping between keyboard languages, she managed to pick the default Markus name

She made it out of her room surprisingly quickly, then got stuck behind the potted plant in the corner of the living room, then did some menuing and then got distracted by food and Shadey coming home

Caterpie has made it out of her house in Twinleaf Town, after some attempts to change profile avatars

She managed to go back into the house and then back to her room and even got into bed. Perhaps seeing Lucas just get into bed on his own and go to sleep can be aspirational.

She also changed the text speed to slow at some point. I try to only help by saving between sessions and occasionally helping her get from the console home screen menus back into the game, so text speed stays, unfortunately.

Caterpie has slowly made it behind her house and now was trying to walk out of town only for an NPC to stop her and tell her to go to Markus’s house. Unfortunately this sign can’t stop her because she can’t read

I should mention for the most part she is holding the controller upside-down or sideways, so the control sticks and D-pad don’t make the character go where you’d expect if you had any expectations. Truly on hard mode in terms of forming associations between buttons and specific things that happen.
