Pokemon is "bad"? What do these people from PETA smoke? Must be some heavy stuff . Pokemon is a game for children (although some mechanics and Pokedex entries are "scary/strange"), well i don't care what those people think.
P.S.
In truth i think Pokemon would be more interesting if it was more "bad" (like Reborn for example ).
i went against him with: Charizard, Gardevoir, Electabuzz, Gyarados, Scolipede and Primeape. Won easily enough (maybe it was just luck dunno), try to bring fast pokemon with you, his pokemon hit fast&hard but are fragile.
Muhaha!!! (just practicing my evil laugh) It's finally here! Already transferred all my Gen 5 poke, now i'll transfer my Gen 4 ones and begin to breed them in the Ultimate Machines of Death they're supposed to be! Ahahahah...aehm ok .
Ok first thing: having only 2 "main" (i assume well trained) pokemon against a gym leader it's not a good idea, now you say it's the third one so how did you beat Florinia with those two? Hmm well in any case it'll be better if you train 2 more, one of them can be a phanpy (you can find them outside the gym) if (like you said) you don't have a ground type. Magic coat is active while your pokemon is alive (it's not turn based) and Mawile is immune to poison moves yes.
Right, beating Julia with just prinplup is borderline impossible, somehow i thought there will be more steel types before the first Gym, but are you sure that you get Onyx only after the battle with her?
As a fellow dragon trainer i absolutely hate all the fairies (except for Gardevoir) but hey this will encourage the use of different pokemon in every team (to counter them), now i'm training a Gengar for this purpose.
hmm well it's not like i know you but hey i'm sure you'll be fine and if you ever feel down play Reborn (or another game that you like), i always do it when i'm down and after some time i forget all the problems.
New release! Finally! Let's start a new game then . Thanks Ame!
P.S.
I hope the Gym Leaders will not be nerfed again after this, that would make me sad
I think you should have a full party it will help in the game but i don't know if it's good to teach HM's to them. Can't you bring along the bidoof only when it's necessary?
