>>43760519Good fucking god this game is relentless. Nothing makes sense, nearly every death has been to a random trainer while Leaders/Team Leaders have been a breeze. I just received the 8th badge, and am heading into Victory Road. I am terrified.
I've accidentally wasted a lot of potential catches, but I still have Victory Road and Shoal Cave. Really hoping to catch a Swinub (I think that's available in this hack, maybe even base game) otherwise I'll have to find Ice Beam or some other answer for Drake.
DX-12 is a fucking nuke with Tbolt. Tig 'Ol can tank anything, especially with Intimidate support from Bo. Those three are a core that I cannot afford to lose. All others are newcomers, and if push comes to shove they'll take a dive for one of them.
Except Scout, I will protect her at all costs.
Wish me luck. Eccentric Emerald might be the wildest Pokemon hack I've ever played.
If you ever play Eccentric Emerald, just skip the Winstrate House. For your own good. The Macho Brace is not worth it. I promise.
