>>37203895Kind of skipped an update, but there really wasn't much of a huge appreciable difference from the last one at the time - I had my Nidorino evolved to Nidoking and he pretty much did a clean sweep of Surge's entire Gym. Had a few close calls in Diglett's Cave when we ran into some high level Dugtrios, but nothing much else to speak of.
We made it through Rock Tunnel to Lavender Town and then to Celadon. By this point I had about three solid Grass-killers in Charmeleon, Beedrill and Golbat, so no problems there either. For the moment I haven't really moved on to exploring the Rocket Hideout as I'm currently embroiled in underage gambling. Had a pretty good string of luck so far, so I think I might try to see if I can't get a Porygon. I'm at least coming away with one Pokemon from the prize counter.
