>>38546663Two badges in and yeah, already off to a rough start. Though it's hard to tell if it's because of an increase in difficulty, or just poor luck on my part. Lost Borealis to one of the Galactic Grunt's Skunky out by the Meadow. Then, after I'd made it to Eterna City, Trivium was killed by a Scientist's Kadabra. And Stratovari was taken out while I was trying to fend off Jupiter's deadly Skuntank, so at least that sort of fit.
Overall, team has been fluctuating a lot more, even among all of the deaths. I kind of find myself swapping in and out pretty regular trying to work out what will be useful down the road. When I still had Stratovari, I taught Thief to her and went out hunting Bronzors hoping I'd get lucky and steal a Metal Coat off one of them. I did and evolved Heavy Load. Not that Steelix's are especially great, but I like having a big physical wall and who knows? Big guy might come in handy.
Anyway, also caught the Rotom hiding in the Old Chateau and got the Togepi egg from Cynthia just after I got my new bike. Our journey continues!
