>>55749318Yeah, I sort of just loosened the rule to one catch and not first encounter. May as well hop in here.
It's been kind of bloody? I'm pretty pissed about Sycamore back in Lumiose. I autopiloted into the fight forgetting he'd be stronger than in base game, and got Dragon Rage cheesed by his Charmeleon. I could have lost zero Pokemon; Petilil is Grass/Fairy in this hack, and could survive an Ember, so if she got a Sleep Powder off I might only have lost Tympole, or nothing at all if the Charmeleon slept long enough. The AI used Ember on the switch, though, so I got a near teamwipe instead. Only my starter managed to survive the battle thanks to a lucky crit at 2 HP.
Things are looking up, though, this Maractus is rather violent (with buffed defenses, nerfed Attack for Huge Power) and Grant lost 5 of his 6 to Gastrodon. I should probably go back and nab some encounters I didn't take advantage of, just in case..
