>>53228989>TeamNice picks, Aron line is a must have for any hoenn playthrough.
Tailow is definitely quite good, it's fast as shit and STAB wing attack + normal moves early on really helps mitigate it's mediocre attack.
As for Nincada being ass, yea lol, but imo it's worth it for Ninjask, Speed boost + early access to swords dance is stupidly good.
Try not to rely too hard on Marshtomp, he shits on hoenn really really hard, especially Wattson who you're about to battle who I feel is capable of being an awesome gym battle if you JUST don't use Marshtomp.
>So far I'm enjoying Emerald and find it fun, a bit slower compared to FireRed because of the higher ratio of doubles.Emerald really packs the game full of battles in general, every route has like 30% more trainers, the fact that they're doubles mitigates the length even. I definitely enjoy it too, no other game places so much emphasis on double battles, and not knowing if I'll end up in a potential double battle really spices up the general dynamic of getting spotted by trainers on routes.
