I HATED the shit out of Gardevoir because of its fanbase, Until I had one.
It was my Emerald Nuzlocke. I almost shit myself when the first thing I ran into was a Ralts. I was so excited, and then so disappointed it sucked.
I trained my team up in dark cave and she got to the point she was... usable. I still didn't think she could take the gym though, so I used Tailow. Brawly Crit Haxed an arm thrust though and murdered my bro. I was furious, I was livid! and I had to chose between Poocheyna and Ralts to send out.
Sent out Ralts with a shrug, and she powered down that bitch's team. And a repeat performance with Wattson, when he killed my Aron,, Kirlia swept in dodging and critting his Nuzlocke Ending Magneton.
She went all the way to the end with me, and I was a Gardebro 4lyfe after that.
