UPDATE: Also, I will note that the Rules of Competitive Battling continue to hold true-- Whitney's Miltank did indeed fuck me up. It was like, "ROLLOUT BETCH." And then I died. I beat her the second time, but just barely. Whitney's Miltank is a beast.
For nostalgia's sake today, I got a VirtualBoy emulator and a Pokemon Silver ROM. I started a new game at about 4:46PM, October 2nd. It is now 1:07AM, October 3rd.
Really, I just wanted to get through the game and remember stuff and the likes... The game registers about 55 hours of gameplay because I used frame skip a lot to get through stuff, but it actually took me about nine hours to beat. Obviously it'd be much longer without frame skip, but yeah... I just thought I'd put it up here.
End game team consisted of:
Lv. 44 Typhlosion, nicknamed Axel @N/A
-Quick Attack
-Leer
-Smokescreen
-Flame Wheel
Lv. 45 Jumpluff, nicknamed Cotton @Smoke Ball (for Victory Road)
-Sleep Powder
-Leech Seed
-Tail Whip
-Mega Drain (it was Tackle most of the game, but Cotton learned Mega Drain on the second E4 attempt).
Lv. 47 Ampharos, nicknamed Watt @Quick Claw (not ONCE did it pop, lol)
-Tackle
-Light Screen
-Thunder Punch
-Thunder Wave
Having Leer and Smokescreen on Typhlosion was actually quite awesome for in-game, as was Tail Whip and Tackle on Jumpluff. On Ampharos, I was either gonna get rid of Tackle or Growl for Light Screen, and I decided to keep Tackle so I wouldn't be completely walled by Ground types should something bad occur- I could have given it Fire Punch, yes, but I just didn't think it necessary at the time. Jumpluff was the most epic of the group, easy. It destroyed EVERYTHING in its path... 'Cept Lance's Aero. :\
I ended up catching about 13 Pokemon, though the Dex registers 19 because of evolutions. I only caught four with intention to use, besides Typhlosion, including Hoppip, Mareep, Sudowoodo, and the Red Gyarados. In the end, I cut out Sudo and Gyarados cause it would've been annoying to power level them late in the game, and they never saw enough use early game to get the levels they needed then.
Yes, I failed the first E4 attempt, and I won the second. The second attempt, I went and bought eight Revives, because the first run, I only had one, and all my Pokemon were relatively fragile... Aero and Houndoom did the most damage. Nothin' else really hurt much thanks to Light Screen.
I guess I'll work on the Kanto region tomorrow... Pick up Jumpluff some Leftovers.
I like playing in-game at blinding speeds (lolframeskip). It helps remind me that Pokemon is fun.
