>>56150835Based thread and first route to start it off. This felt like things were picking up for me as a kid. Team started to get better move sets and items. Had more experience (for me and my party) so now there was a sense of “we’ve only just begun”. Wish you mentioned the Draco Meteor move tutor though.
>>56150994Like this route too. I know people don’t like it but I enjoyed the slower pace of the snow/swamp routes. The creepy lady in one the buildings, the icy rock for Glaceon, seeing Maylene again, and the sense of urgency to check on Barry made this so memorable.
My pick is this route. Pretty what OP said but for the end of the early game. You’ve met most of the important NPCs. You have heard bits and pieces of Sinnoh’s mythos. 2 Gym Badges and 3 run ins with Galactic. The Undeground is available and you can use the slops to go the museum to revive any potential fossil you might have gotten. Them Mount Cornet stands in your way to Hearthome. Not the first time you have access to it but this feels more important. I think Sinnoh has my favorite routes in the series.
