>>45917161Forgot to post the earlier versions when I was starting, but I realized yesterday that despite loving Grookey and a lot of SWSH Pokemon I never really got to play through the game how I liked (my actual save file with all my progress was easily cheesed, meaning I hardly used the starter, and I haven't really played through the game since except for one time where I did a solo run with my Hatterene for the sake of just having a fun time with my favorite Pokemon). So I'm doing a new genlocke in a similar manner to how I've done all my previous gen runs.
Things are going well for the moment, but I almost got wiped by a Skwovet that I ran into by accident who was almost twice the level of my entire team (I caught it just to end the fight since it *was* the first encounter). Surprisingly I managed to get really lucky with my Blipbug, as it not only has a kickass nature but it's been steamrolling most enemies since it evolved. Having fun but not sure how long that'll last since I have to put up with the eternal annoyance that is Hop.
