Being a gym leader seems like it's a sweet loving deal though, you get lots of dosh and you get a warehouse that you can turn into some bizarre castle or whatever you want.

maybe but its a clear power play on lance's part since he becomes the champ in spite of being owned by gary and red, a guy who has owned gary many times

being a gym leader sounds like a sweeter deal. you get to hang out in a city and almost nobody will ever make it to you and you can go like "yeah i'm the 8th gym leader" and everyone will buy you pokemon beer

a few of the gym leaders actively don't want to fight i think, just hang out and ride the glory

surge makes you dig through garbage cans, sabrina did that dick move teleport maze, giovanni locked his door and went on a business vacation, and koga and blaine have done effective techniques to completely remove their gyms from my memory

It's a pretty good pokemon, and it has an ability that raises your special attack or regular attack depending on which of your opponents defense levels are lower.

it's pretty good but it gets even better the next time it evolves, its special attack goes through the roof and becomes a lot faster.

soral what ability does that porygon2 have? if it has trace then it'll change to adaptability when it evolves, which'll make its tri attacks and hyper beams do insane damage

it does have trace, but keep in mind that i may or may not ever get the dubious disc because the randomizer

oh right, forgot about that. i just sort of figured the randomizer let all trade evolutions evolve by level, but i guess it would still need the item. well nm then

Soral
May 30, 2009

trade evolutions that involve an item are triggered by levelling once with the item being held, regular trade evolutions are set to evolve at level 36/37

i have yet to find a tm with flash in it. this poo poo loving sucks


uhhhh......


:glomp:

grabbed the radio upgrade from lavender then doubled back to vermillion to get to pewter through the diglett cave, where i can finally get these fossils extracted


snipped like an hour and a half of training more pokemon up to be usable


brock was using electric types in this game


...


ok, whatever. ive been putting off dealing with how broken misty and her gym is right now, so i went about fixing it


used an action replay code to give me all the badges, then held start + select while walking into her gym to make it appear in the beaten state. however misty will not fight us if we have her badge, even if shes technically not fought yet, so i use another action replay code to do this



from this point on i can not save for risk of loving up the quest flags royally, so the game turns into a game of juggling the two action replay codes while i speed run the next 3 gyms


:ironicat:


misty had a ton of powerful bug types. this guy and scizor and yanmega. it was the first time id felt threatened by a bug type trainer


so now i gotta run all the way to pallet and surf down to seafoam to get the volcano badge, then back up to viridian for the final badge


all he could do was harden


surfed past ever trainer except for the two required fights and beelined for this rear end in a top hat

snip

completely uneventful. he went down like a total bitch and it was just a plain old boring fight. he had electric types like brock


gary still #1


widestancer has her own rival like doctor goat


smacked down with ease :hellyeah:


:smug:


that's the last badge in this entire broken-rear end game!


one last thing left to do in this game before i can stop playing this bloated, shambling corpse of a pokemon game. next time, this:
