The grind for the league was rough, but the rewards were ours to reap. The Elite Four were nearly completely clean sweeps; Aaron, Bertha and Flint being taken out by Mas Querade, Herbaceous and Anastasia Beverly Hills, respectively, Lucian nearly being soloed by Mas Querade except for a brief assist by Herbaceous against his Bronzong. Cynthia was also surprisingly a bit of a cakewalk, as Anastasia Beverly Hills took out 5 of her 6 Pokemon, letting Spank It have his moment in the limelight against her Milotic as I feared it would murder with Mirror Coat otherwise. Definitely a relief of a league performance after the intense loss of motivation in the early game and the brutal Cyrus fight, really excited to start Platinum as I have some fun plans for that (especially now that I've champed three more Honey Tree mons), but I'll be stuck shinyhunting in Oreburgh Mine for a while to get an encounter there, goodness knows how long that'll take
>>58252817>Salamence this early? I would have waited for Kalos at minimum personally.Yeah, I knew I needed something powerful to carry the Honey Tree mons to victory and the chance to use a Shelgon/Salamence in Sinnoh was too good to pass up. In hindsight I suppose I only really needed Gorebyss and some strong Earthquake user, but oh well, I still have a wide array of options to choose from still
>>58250758>>58251075This, and Festival Plaza in USUM where they force you into that shit on the second island if you haven't already used it yet. The fact that they force you into that garbagefire and don't do that for Poke Pelago (an actually good feature) is mindboggling to me
