>>23121272Gym was no problem at all.
I have a good feeling about this one. The game has much better variety compared to Yellow, the first two routes have had a good 10-12 different Pokemon in them.
The useful items I've got so far are a Flame Plate, Toxic Plate and Max Ether. Gen V is even worse then Gen IV, as it has even more useless items. I'm expecting a lot of random gems.
