alright second rival down, no casualties thus far, 3 new captures. really like that this game implemented clover's 'consumables don't get consumed for boss fights' thing, made it easy to just slap oran berries on everyone.
the rival's AI is....noticeably fucky, he ended up switching out waaaay too much between starly and charmander. makes me a tad concerned for when i fight someone actually difficult.
>>44920100i honestly can't tell if this is a reference or you're asking me if i know you irl. sorry, i don't work at gamestop
>>44920174yeah vileplume is deceptively strong. still sucks your gyarados had to die
>>44920230i tried a shitmon run with no evolving/switching in crystal once. went surprisingly well, actually.
rest of those rules sound like death knells and it kind of sounds like you'd need luck more than anything to succeed. doesn't seem worth it
