>Start new Platinum playthrough>Get Chimchar as my starter based on my trainer ID again>Get pretty much the same catches before Roark>Get to Oreburgh Mine, get Onix again>Know exactly what to do this timeI can't believe I cleared Roark without a single death this time. Going from last time I knew that Onix would be a great help for the gym so I used the one I got. Only hiccup so far was missing out on the Route 207 catch because of a crit, but that is better than losing more than half of my team like last time.

>>46089548>should i box some dudes for now and come back to use them later or should i grind them all to be generally around the same level?I do the latter in the early game for Pokemon that don't have particularly high stats. For the ones that do have a high stat that is somewhat relevant to what I'm about to face (i.e. Onix's Defense vs Roark's gym) I tend to leave them a bit behind because grinding in the older gens is a bit of a pain in the ass. Most of the time I do try to keep everyone I'm using at around the same level though.
