So I'm just before the 7th gym in Pearl right now and I'm quite nervous; this whole stretch was a slog. Talos fell behind as I had to take an HM slave through the mountain pass and didnt want to waste his slots, but that ended up making the trek to Snowpoint that much more stressful. The only monster who really excelled was Poseidon; Anaxagoras and Phoebos both almost fainted to trainers. I was feeling pretty proud of myself entering the route as I was going to have Phoebos change the weather to sun, but it was very tricky to find opportunities for it. I'd just try to Leech Seed first for some added security and that nearly killed me against some random Coolboarder. Episkyros remains invaluable as a big bulky safe switch in, laughing at normal/fighting/ground attacks and firing back with a Toxic. Xander was also great at intimidating people, but Poseidon and his Flash Cannon were the stars of the show. I'm thrilled I was able to explore and train on the whole route but I was really hoping to get everyone to 40. Ah well, I'm feeling lucky, so tonight I'll take on the gym leader. Got some decent new members to the team, but I think I missed a couple routes so I'll need to double check that later.
That long double route was stressful, but it was also one of the coolest treks in the game! I just wish I could have done it with my full team.
>>39234762Good on you, Fantina was a stressful time for me and I'm glad it went smoothly, because that Mismagius is nuts.
