Currently playing Modern Emerald. Just beat Norman, and I'm now exploring all the places that have opened up thanks to Surf before continuing with the story.
I thought Torkoal was going to be a bit of a shitmon, but I've been pleasantly surprised by just how high its defenses are. It can easily withstand several SE attacks.
Swablu, though, is kinda disappointing. It doesn't really get good Flying coverage... the only attacking Flying-type move it gets through level-up is Peck, which is absurd.
All in all, though, while the early-game was hard, after I beat Wattson, the game got easier. I beat Flannery and Norman in one try, despite not really having SE moves against them.
