And with that the Generation 1 leg of this marathon ends! I'm excited to get into a new gen, but I'm afraid that I'm going to get really fatigued in. Special Bro pretty much wrecked house (as can be seen in the level difference; everyone was the same level when I entered). The only Pokemon I didn't use Special Bro against were Lance's Gyarados (sacrificed Elizabeth to get a Thunderbolt off) and the Blue's Jolteon (used Rockafella).
This run was nice in that there was a consistent team with each member being useful for a certain part of the game. Elizabeth and Rockafella carried the early game, Ginger carried the midgame, and Special Bro DESTROYED the late game.
On an unrelated note I kinda didn't wish the game didn't introduce artificial difficulty by putting ridiculous level spikes on the Gym Leaders. It wasn't very interesting to strategize around, and its not like they made grinding any easier compared to Red and Blue. For me it just incentivized having a small team that broke the game mechanics just to get through at a reasonable pace.
Next up is Gold and I know which rule I'm adding, but I'm always open to suggestions because I have a running list. Probably will emulate because my copy's save battery is fucked. Shouldn't change much because I couldn't trade with my hardware anyway.
