>>22403126Caught a Machop which I named Scorpion. He has an adamant nature, which is great. Almost ran out of pokeballs trying to catch him.
Champanzee then evolved and I beat the first gym, which I almost lost.
I also changed the rules a bit.
To make sure I don't just sacrifice mons to make the gym leader battles easier only to revive those Pokemon straight after I win, I now have it that the rule does not apply to Pokemon who faint during gym leader battles. If a Pokemon faints during a gym leader battle, I have to wait until I beat the next gym to revive them.
Also, a question to anyone who cares and assuming I get this far, should the last gym be the final "revive" spot or should there be a final one before the E4?
