>>52033916Beat Fantina, but we lost a valuable ally in the process. I thought Anatta's Crunch would be strong enough to OHKO her Mismagius, but I was wrong. She barely lived, used her Sitrus Berry, and killed Anatta--she didn't even use Magical Leaf, Shadow Ball did it outright. A really bad loss, since Ice Beam on Anatta was my current plan to deal with Cynthia's Garchomp. Kisa killed the rest of her team, but we lost a valuable ally. Sutra will join the team as our new Water-type (kinda stoked because I never get to use the blue Shellos/Gastrodon), but still reeling from Anatta's death.
>>52038233Would probably make it as an exception to make it evolve by having it faint deliberately, but I'd set a specific level where it would evolve "normally" arbitrarily and if it faints before then, I'd count it as dead. I do a similar thing for trade evolutions in games I'm not playing on a ROM, say Kadabra can't evolve until level 37.
>>52036795No experience in Sacred Gold, but Totodile is the best Johto starter in my opinion. Only problem is that it competes for a team slot with a lot of great Water-types (Gyarados, Quagsire, Starmie, etc.). I do agree with
>>52038014 though.
