>>37186033Just reached Celadon. Lost two companions in the meantime, including Vilma, the Bellsprout I had been delaying evolution for quite a while. Self-Destruct is so frustrating. Also caught a Voltorb and it's been a bit shit trying to level up this guy, since he has to rely on Sonic Boom. Three Pokémon evolved too. So there's that. Couldn't cut the trees on Route 8, so no catch there for now, and accidentally killed the Bellsprout I found on Route 7.
After the Rock Tunnel things get so non-linear for a Pokémon game. It's a very nice change, but I get kinda lost. I think I'll take care of the Cassino before taking on Erica.
