doubles ended up being a hell of a lot of fun. it also took me a a couple attempts to beat as opposed to super singles. battles took longer which i actually didn't mind because of how fast the battle engine is. that's 3/5 "stars" now, hoping to also beat the super multi line today and then start black tomorrow – once i've reached the same point in that i'll worry about the dex and entralink shit in both.
>>44228151very slightly different team, lead with a choice scarf no guard machamp this time. getting a hitmontop with the moves i wanted would've required breeding one in platinum/hgss and transferring up, and i don't really want to revisit gen 4 so soon even if it's just to do that.
