Had almost no free time and I'm tired but I'll play at least a little today to help keep the thread from needing bumps.
>>21995537Battled the Argent Central Gym Leader, Sapphire -- "It doesn't get wetter than this!" She used Octillery/Seadra/Kingler (who rekt me with Guillotine)/Gyarados/Blastoise. Upon defeating her she seems surprised that I want a reward, and then gives me a Magnet, probably because she didn't have anything good on her, and then she tells me if I want to get stronger (since I'm still too weak to stand a chance against the E4 without RNG abuse) to head to East Suden. I still can't express how much I like the openness of the region to be able to battle the E4 this early even if you'd get squashed for attempting it.
