i have to catch and nickname the first pokemon i see and any other pokemon i catch are strictly to fill my dex and i can't nickname em or use em in battle, so my valid battlers are gastly, chikorita, cyndaquil, geodude, rattata, hoothoot, and the remaining 3 currently in my pc
oughta make note of what routes i've caught pokemon on so far so i don't forget... 29 (violet), 30 (chamomile), 31 (nightshade), dark cave (iris), 36 (wolfsbane), and 46 (burdock)
oof, first loss suffered, and at the hands of an UNOWN no less... it wasn't in vain, though, she saved wolfsbane, got hit with an unlucky crithit though. farewell violet we hardly knew ye...
i was betting on the unown's hidden power being ghost type since it was super effective against wolfsbane, but apparently it wasn't :-(
first badge GOTTED
okay made a lot of progress and yet at the same time Barely Any. hatched cosmo the togepi, finally beat the bell tower, caught dandelion the hoppip, and finally got to union cave which is what i ACTUALLY want to talk about here
i caught a sandshrew here, who obviously needed a nickname. i look for cacti, because desert thing that is sharp and pokey. and i discover. this
ferocactus... echidne. and while sandshrew are NOT echidnas, i couldn't resist (plus i couldn't find anything better). so now i have echidne the sandshrew, who doesn't LOOK like she fits the name theme and looks more like i misspelt echidna, but i swear to god it fits the theme
currently my entire team consists solely of my strongest pokemon, but this is somehow actually a coincidence since my lower level members are all kinda not great for union cave. chamomile's just here for xp since bugsy's coming up soon
i honest to god forgot that the towns are named after flowers in johto which makes my naming theme even more appropriate. it was appropriate when i decided who to play as but now i can pretend it was totally intentional that it fits with johto itself
alright, no new team members yet BUT we have moved on to slowpoke well and witnessed our first evolution!!
also, all the starters FINALLY have a STAB attack. it takes REALLY long in gsc to get new moves, jeez... in any case, here's the current party, and all of them have STAB attacks now
and slowpoke well has been conquered! no further evolutions but wolfsbane and his hypnosis have once again proven to be Incredibly Helpful
THE FIRST POKEMON I ENCOUNTEREF ON THIS ROUTE WAS A YANMA THIS FUCKIG LUCK HELL YESSSSSS
GET IN THE BALLLLLL
YESSSSS
10 pokeballs i waste on this exeggcute and i catch it with the very first great ball i try. cool
i got a noctowl 3 times in a row... i wish i was goot at statistics i wonder how Ridiculously Lucky that actually was
i caught crocus just earlier today and he already evolved... however. he still needs much level grinding if we are to face. The Hell Cow
