>>56889011I decided to use the emulator again, but this time I'm making extra sure to like, save thrice (manual save, save state, manual save again, and no auto saves), and after each remaining Gym Leader I'll also back up the save file in case something goes wrong again
So far so good, at least
Now, some more progress:
I took care of the trainers in Mossdeep Gym; they were pretty small time since you're intended to fight them in Doubles, but you can just fight them individually
I also went and fought Lucy, one of the Frontier Brains-- she's an optional fight, alongside Spenser and Greta, and each reward you a Choice item
The fight itself was... also pretty small time, because her lead Shuckle is very passive, so Cloyster could Shell Smash and sweep with +6 Freeze Dry
Oddly enough, every time she switched Steelix in, she switched it right back out
It has a Choice Band, and my guess is that because it couldn't KO Cloyster behind a Sub, and that it was threatened with a KO in return, it backed out
I still don't quite understand how this all works, and I'm going to have to because I know some later bosses will have Choiced Pokemon
In any case, now I also have a Choice Band as a reward from the fight, something Swellow is gonna put to incredibly great use pretty soon
Tate and Liza, you're next
