Gen 4 is finally over with this climactic Wedlocke finale!
Nervous about taking on Red with just 2 pokemon so I actually grinded Richard and Sun up to the lv 80 mark. Actually slightly overshot it because I was using the Elite 4 rematches to do the last bit. Funny thing actually happened the first time I went through. Lance's last pokemon was his Altaria. Then he cast Perish song?
Red was pretty straight forward because I had hit 80
>Pikachu
his 1st Volt Tackle to Sun paralyzed him. Couple Signal Beams dealt with him after that
>Snorlax
lol Richard learns Superpower in this gen. no problem
>Venusaur
This was a bit of a grind. Sun set up the Light Screen and then just kept Fire Punching. It kept using Sludge Bomb repeatedly. Neither was particularly strong against each other but I won eventually.
>Blaster the Master
Discharge
>Charizard
Waterfall from Richard
>Lapras
Sun just did a discharge, tanked a Blizzard, then a second discharge drives Red off the mountain!
Final 6 person team/3 married couples
>Richard the Feraligator x Sun the Ampharos
>Desmond the Xatu x Penny the Quagshire
>Ben Linus the Mamoswine x Juliet the Corsola
This nuzlocke challenge was my first time playing any of these Gen 4 games and they were definitely my favorites so far (Grinding for red aside). The quality level of just everything is raised overall and of course the physical/special split is amazing. Platinum felt like the level scaling was on point and I really like the whole Team Galactic section of the game. Maybe it is just the climbing the mountain towards the Spear Pillar confrontation but I felt like I was in more of an action/adventure game in those sections. HGSS is pure soul, nothing more to say.
Onwards to Gen 5! I have absolutely no experience with BW/B2W2. The only thing I know(?) is that I heard that BW has no pre-gen 5 pokemon? Which just sounds like a welcome relief after the small poke-pool I had to work with for the last couple games.
