>>43147712I don't play dupes because I think it sort of bends the rules too much. There is enough variety in pokemon in the first few routes to not justify playing dupes imo. Plus its weird when you face a trainer, such as Elesa, who has two of the exact same pokemon. Its really just my autism honestly.
I encountered a Pidove (FlopFlop) before Nacrene gym pretty bummed right now. About to challenge the gym, will report back.
