>>27601172>playing crystal after a decade, dying of nostalgia>decide to use my favorite pokemon because these games are easy as fuck anyway>Chikorita sucks ass>Xatu's gen2 moveset is... unbelievable. Just unbelievable. The only decent move he could learn before the E4 was FLY. His only psychic move is Future Sight, which takes two turns to hit, can MISS and you have to grind like hell to learn it.>Corsola is decent with surf, but she becomes shit by the time you reach the last gym>Donphan was a mistake>Miltank with stomp and shadow ball is the only decent pokemon in the party>Growlithe keeps fucking dying, can't evolve until after the E4 and his only fire move is ember>All the pre-Kanto TMs are garbage>I'm fucking underleveled because all the trainers had level 20 monsI decided to evolve Chikorita into Bayleef and she stil couldn't do shit in the Elite Four. I ended up dropping the game.
Still my favorite Pokemon game and much better than the ugly remakes. I should play it again one day. This horrible experience was probably my fault for using nothing but shitmons. My team needed at least one decent pokemon.
