After playing a bit into the game on i guess what you would call my "main save" I've decided it was time to spice it up a bit.
Starting/Background: Yeah yeah i read the rules to the monogen challenge, roll the dice and such to pick a gen but to be honest i had to skip that step and pick my favorite gen, as it was the one of my childhood and went with gen 1 for all them nostalgia feels. If you have a nickname suggestion btw please leave a reply and let me know
Starter: I know ill get some hate for not taking Charmander however, i am running Charmander in my main run. So the starter of choice has to be:
Bulbasaur: No nickname on this one yet (my favorite of the grass starters)!
Bulbasaur came out with a quick win against both the "Rival" Battles at the start picking up some fast levels. I then proceeded outside to catch myself a:
Pidgey: Easily one of my favorite flying type pokemon and nicknamed Hornet (After the F/A-18 Hornet)
After alittle bit of training i headed over to the fishermen and picked up an old rod to get my self a:
Grimer: Not sure what i want to name this one yet (Hopfully he will be a tank for the team)
With the start of a team i headed to the factory to take out Fern, overall a pretty easy fight with Hornet taking the lead and earning a lot of exp to boot.
Once that was complete i headed back to the gym and went through all the hoopla at the factory. Picking up a bunch of exp and evolving Bulbasaur to a full fledged
Ivysaur! On his way to a marvelously tanky tank.
Aster and Eclipse got taken down pretty easily by grimer and i headed to get my first gym badge.
Team Update:
Hornet (Pidgey): Level 17
Grimer(Needs a nickname): Level 18
Ivysaur (Could also use a nickname, im bad at these): Level 18
The fight was actually fairly hard only having three pokemon at this point of the game however i did manage to get her down by spamming out a couple potions against poisoned enemies.
With that fight out of the way i decided on completing the hiker event to receive an:
Onix (i am planing on farming out a shiny geodude or kabuto later in the game to replace him as i cant evolve him into a steelix but he will make a good addition until then)
Moved out to the east and toward the slums, easily moped up Victoria and entered to get myself a manky to add to the team.
Low and behold the first shiny of my run! Mankey along with the newly evolved Pidgeotto made quick work of the scragy gang. Upon exiting the slums i headed south to meet up with my favorite purple character cain.
Once his grimer saved oshowatt the battle went pretty much according to plan with a quick win.
This point is probably good for another team update:
Panzer: Level 19
Abrams: Level 22
Tiny: Level 19
Bizon: Level 20
Hornet: Level 22
HMSLAVE: Level 5
~~That's it for now stay tuned for more updates~~
