>>28236455I didn't know shit about pokemon then, was mostly me banging my head against the game until I got through.
>SwampertMay's Grovyle pre Mauville was a fucking terror, also Flannery's Torkoal's overheat somehow hit like a truck despite shit base stats and resistances. Psychic gym's Solrock's solarbeam was also a fucking dick to play against. Bide tided me through Torkoal/Slaking, moveset was Surf/EQ/Bide/something.
>ManectricI always get an electric type if its convenient (started in G/S/C with mareep), moveset was bite (crunch?) and 3 electric moves because there wasn't anything else to teach it. The abundance of flying pokemon and water routes made grinding levels easy.
>PelipperI liked his look and Surf/Fly + Ice moves made it really useful in my book. Only when BW rolled around did I realize how bad he was, still loved the fucker though. Favourite water/flying.
>HariyamaThought Makuhita looked cute so I caught one, saved my ass against Norman and Sidney.
>ClaydolBaltoy looked cute (you can see where I'm going with this) so I caught one, tried to use it as an attacker instead of in-game defensive support with 70 SPA.
>KyogreUsed my master ball on him since I had no patience. My team was horribly balanced for the E4 so I used him to save my ass for the bulk of the run.
