>>33146666Played a lot more than I originally planned to today. Finished training up for Valerie, beat Valerie, beat Team Flare at the Pokéball Factory, cleared out the Frost Caverns, beat Olympia, and all the while changing my team up drastically. No new deaths, but despite this, not a single Pokémon on my main team is one that was part of the main team last time I updated. I'm getting crazy lucky with encounters this time around. I can definitely see how so many people can find X and Y to be the hardest games to Locke, and so many others can find it piss easy. The sheer number of options per route really does put you at the game's mercy.
Current plan is to train my team up to 50, then begin the final series of fights against Team Flare. I'm still a bit mad at myself, looking at this nice, clean layout with that one black mark in the "dead" category. So close to a perfect run right now.
Current Level Cap: 59, though I have a long ways to go until that goes up.
