>>45051348Here's where I'm at after defeating Chuck. Silky died to a Machoke in the gym using Rock Slide, which sucked especially since Silky would've made the fight against Chuck much easier. I filled the sixth slot with Biff who's been doing well so far, although I haven't had a chance to use him in any major battles. I led with Reggie against Chuck's Primeape, and I was able to put it to sleep before taking it out with a couple Surfs. I put his Poliwrath to sleep before switching out to Dude, but the bastard used a Full Heal. After setting up Reflect and poison, however, Dude was able to take out Poliwrath by using Razor Leaf a couple times and tanking a couple DynamicPunches. Being confused wasn't too big of an issue thankfully.
>>45051770Congrats dawg, this is awesome
>>45053300Yeah Golem really shits on Johto pretty hard for the most part. Also, "the grinding was more of a challenge than the actual gym fight" is very accurate to my experience in this game so far.
>>45056728Good luck with the final stretch, hopefully there won't be too much bullshit thrown against you.
