>>45243764playing reborn also atm, the story picks up after the 4th gym, which you're about to fight right now, dont want to spoil anything, but you're in for the ride of your fucking life if you don't have a good flying/rock type.
Also, you skipped the police officer sidequest, and thats ok, it doesn't really have too much of an impact on the plot. But just a fair warning, Reborn has a bunch of plot splits at different parts of the game depending on what choice you make, the Police Sidequest could have gotten you a growlithe, but you can find good replacement fire types a bit later on, its not like you'll need a fire type anytime soon where you are in the game. As i mentioned before, without spoiling anything, the plot picks up after gym 4, and you get to go to actually interesting places. During my playthrough, I'm currently checking the wiki for any sidequests or encounters I might be missing while I'm in an area, just skip the parts with spoilers.
