Another quick update, because HOLY SHIT did Brendan absolutely fuck me up. I could've played this fight so much better, and we lost Ganondorf, Impa, and Skulltula in the fight. Also, Dampe somehow got bodied by Timmy's Aron right before that fight (I still am baffled how that fucker oneshot him). Added Garo (the vengeful spirit of Impa) to the team tentatively, and hoping to get a good catch outside of Mauville to rebuild.
>>45874661IMO, and admittedly I'm talking mainly about G/S/C than SS/HG, once you get past the fourth gym, you're mostly cruising until you get to Claire, and the Elite Four isn't too bad as long as you have something that can use Ice moves. Also, keep that Geodude alive as long as possible. Geodude might be the best catch in the entire game, as it can fuck up most of the gyms in the game. Use that boy against Whitney and Bugsy.
