Encounters are starting to run a bit thin already. Mt. Moon was the first time I couldn't catch anything due to champs clause.
Misty was handled by Carnivore the Bellsprout, putting Staryu to sleep and setting up Growths so I could oneshot both it and Starmie.
Had our second loss of the run on SS Anne, Lance the Fearow fell to a critical hit Karate Chope from a Machop on switch-in. At least that means I don't have to pick between my birds anymore..
Decided to keep Burrow the Sandslash in the team over Diglett, for the simple fact that he joined earlier. He one-shot everything inside Surge's gym, even the Raichu who set up 3 double teams after Sandslash got paralysed against Pikachu.
Currently making my way through Rock Tunnel. This is the 4th time I've added a Machop to a team, let's see if she can finally succeed where the Don brothers have failed.
>>55178527RIP. Always sucks to lose a run early, especially with games that take so long to start.
>>55177425Looks like Kieran got some revenge. Keep up the good work though, bug is one of my favourite types. How is Masquerain btw?
>>55177410Oof, maybe not the worst losses on paper but it does suck losing long-term members.
>>55175743Probably could've gone without losses if Brock used anything except Bind, at +6 defense Butterfree would've been just able to live two Rock Tombs, but that's just the way it is. I played FireRed last time, as I said I just don't really enjoy gen 1.
>>55176450Sad to see Kingler die at the end but congrats!
>>55177329Honestly quite a lot of games allow you to gather a full team before the first gym. Johto gives you 9 encounters iirc. Good luck with the new run though!
>>55176894I'd like it if it just got rid of the luck aspect entirely. Playing the game perfectly but still losing your streak because you had to take a 3/4 chance of hitting a Voltorb sucks.
>>55176830Cool to see Seviper, even if you're probably not bringing it to the end.
