>>19503766About to go to bed. Got a ton of progress in today.
Hatched a lot of Pokemon but thankfully no one has died yet so there hasn't been a need to replace any slots.
2nd gym is usually where the game starts to get a bit harder but it's not until much later that I'll start seeing some deaths. Hopefully I don't but you never know.
>>19504300After doing a lot of nuzlockes/challenges on Pokemon X, I've gotten use to handling the Furfrou battle, just put in your more bulkier Pokemon and attack one of the Furfrou's at a time (make sure your prepared for it as well and do everything else on the route first, leave that battle for last.)
As for eggs, I got them from people on the giveaway thread. I just ask for leftovers and/or stuff people have no use for any more.
