>>36364358Back at it again in Pokemon Green, just about halfway through the game right now. It's been pretty interesting playing with a half-imported team. Some of them obviously weren't scaled for the beginning of the game - Clara was absurdly bulky compared to everyone else for a while, and Delbert was an absolute pushover before gaining access to Dig. The fact that they're recognized as traded Pokemon required me to be pretty conservative about leveling them towards the beginning of the game, but that's quickly becoming irrelevant, since the badges start increasing the level cap far beyond what I'll need at this point.
The early game was a lot easier than it was last time, helped both by the imports and Bulbasaur, but now I'm starting to feel the consequences of my more lax play style. I had two deaths in Celadon thanks to using very few healing items. In the case of Pierlot, I actually was stuck with one remaining potion while both he and Aris were critically low and poisoned, and I was about a block away from a Pokemon Center. That was possibly the hardest decision I've had to make in my life so far.
