>>21914503There's a destroyed unnamed town you can't enter to the southwest.
In the gate to the town beyond that, I realize that was my rival earlier and I just couldn't tell. This time we do battle.
She uses Scyther/Pikachu/Pidgeotto, Pikachu at Lv. 18.
The following town is Peel City -- "A welcome place for all people" -- and I have to say I really like the design, all the vehicles make it unique.
There's a little garage with oil spills that act as ice, the Game Corner, two Pokémarts (the small one is closed down and the clerk gives you Leftovers), and a Fire-type Gym.
Still no improvement with the sprites. I wonder if there's any artwork of the Gym Leaders since the main character artworks is good despite their sprites.
Bianca has Lv. 23 Flareon and Lv. 24 Arcanine. Flareon uses Sunny Day and ends up balking the shit out of my team as a result, but Arcanine isn't too hard. I like the level curve of this game, it's higher than normal but manageable and if they restrict the evolved Pokémon like Arcanine to Gym Leaders, and it seems the AI knows how to use strategy well like Sunny Day Flareon.
After the battle, Bianca can't find the badge, but another trainer finds it on the floor and I get the Terrabadge and Dig. Another thing I like is that, though the TMs might not make the most sense typewise, at least one Pokémon on the Gym Leader's team uses the move so it's justified.
