>>53628151Right off the gate, there's a sidequest to save a legendary Pokemon that joins your team after the 5th Gym, because games definitely did not get easier over the years.
Anyways, Courtney's Camerupt manages to kill Tentacool, which is unfortunate, but I never intended to use one here once I could access lesser used Water types.
After this, it was time to get some new additions to the team and clean out Surf areas.
Introducing Raikiri the Electrike and Masoniana the Wailmer.
Now, did you know that you can access Route 123 at this point? And that they did not consider this with the Trainer levels?
Because I didn't. I walked in on a level 36 Vileplume ready to spread Paralysis, Poison, has the ability to cleanse it's own statuses and will suck you dry?
I beat this colossal threat, sure. Unfortunately, half of the team fell accomplishing it.
RIP Grovyle, Electrike and Anorith.
Yeah I think that's enough OR for the night.
