>>28459594My rule is a three-strike clause. If repeated encounters three times in a route, no catch for the silly trainer. This avoids abuse.
>>28459391I meant "never played it before, no guides allowed". I got stuck for a long while after getting Rock Smash, who'd think you go to that route only to get the Strenght HM which is completely out of your way and backtrack 3 routes to get to a new city?
Now I'm unsure if I should go for the gym. I know it's a Grass/Flying duo, but the amount of shit this game throws (except for the normal gym, maybe; the only weird thing was that Hydro Pump Porygon-Z, did they cut a slack?) makes me worried
