Natu is between levels 18 and 24 when you find them. Night Shade (and Peck, but you might need a Heart Scale) is his only non-TM attack until level 39 for Ominous Wind. And that assumes you do not evolve him. Then it is 47. Psychic is learned at level 47 (59). Yeah, he REALLY wants some TMs. Edit: But you obviously realize this. Have fun with him then.

I was wondering when you would start this. Nice to see that Slugma is made relevant in game. Good luck and have fun!

Blue Made my way to Vermillion City and the SS Anne. Boarded it and took out all of the trainers plus Gary using mostly Wartortle, but NIdoqueen helped in the last hallway. Taught Cut to Paras. Wartortle Lv 30 Nidoqueen lv 26 Lt. Surge This gym was Nidoqueen's playground. Leveled Bellsprout. Really, REALLY hate the trash cans. I have never took that long in that gym. Badge get. Bellsprout lv 19 Wartortle lv 30 Nidoqueen lv 27 Yellow Followed Blue down south toward Vermillion. Evolved Weedle and Caterpie along the way for Pokedex. Evolved Bulbasaur. Found out that some trainers have different Pokemon than in Red/Blue. I seriously have never played through Yellow before. Got to Vermillion. Healed up, withdrew Abra and Geodude. Went through Diglett Cave and traded Abra for... what?! You want a Clefairy now?! Fine. Back in Vermillion, I shoved Abra back in the PC and headed to the SS Anne. Yay redundancy! For Gary, Geodude took out Spearow, Mew took out Rattata and Eevee, and Ivysaur took out Sandshrew. Lt Surge Geodude. Badge get. Also picked up Squirtle. Mew lv 25 Mankey lv 22 Geodude lv 21 Ivysaur lv 18 Yellow - 56

Maybe I was just using Ampharos wrong then. Hmm. 115 Special Attack? I probably tried to use Thunder Punch like usual on it then. Still, 55 Speed hurts a bit. Yeah, I think Speed was my issue with it. Stil, Signal Beam is not until level 42. But Discharge (level 34 by the way) and Focus Blast seem worthwhile.

In the original Gold/Silver, the guy with the Miracle Seed would not allow you to proceed until after you beat Faulkner. Game Freak hates it when we do badges out of order. Anyway, serebi says that there is now a patch of grass before that same fellow, meaning Mareep is viable for Faulkner. But I don't know. Mareep just does not seem to have the same "oomph" that it used to. I tried using it in my playthrough of SoulSilver, and it was not as good as I remembered.

I thought that Totodile had benefited quite nicely from the Physical/Special split of 4th gen. Can you explain to me why he's not considered the best starter? Did Cyndaquil receive a similar boost, because I have not used him (yet). Edit: Sigurd Badge!

Claude and Daisy.

I believe that Slugma got Recover in 4th gen, so that will help him. He's still Fire/Rock though. I have never gotten past that typing and still can not bring myself to use him.

The Rescue Staff can also be gotten by having Aideen fall in love with Azel, but one of the rules states that we can not pass down the Rescue staff at all, so that is what he meant by "YOU HAVE NO RESCUE PASS DOWN".

Yeah, eclipse covered it. Flail does not and never has taken the opponent down to your HP. If you are at one HP, Flail will not cause your opponent to come down to one HP. It MIGHT, but that would be completely coincidental. Instead, Flail's base power changes depending on your HP. I do not remember the exact formula, but it skyrockets below 5 or 10 HP or something. And yeah, Feebas has both TM Moves and some Egg Moves if I remember correctly. So Magikarp is worse. Edit: Ninja'd

In regards to your Johto playthrough, you did say Gen 2 on the last page. But if you did mean Soul SIlver, oyu could pick Larvitar up from the Safari Zone after Gym 5.

Is there a reason you did not pick up Nidoran F west of Viridian. Or does she not show up there in 3rd Gen. It has been a while for me.

Naw, keeping them in their current forms will do nicely. Bulbasaur and Nidorina are not quite as nice as their evolved forms. It should be hard enough as is.

Well, stopping at that Pokemon in the line would make it harder sure, but my vote would be to evolve them fully. Also, Venusaur, Nidoqueen AND Golem? Wow. The RNG loves you. With Machamp to boot. If you go that direction. My goodness, it is like a completely balanced team. The more I look at it, the less that I want to believe that the RNG selected that for you. Maybe you SHOULD stop at the specific Poke, just to make it interesting.

To Evans: 12 Turns Sigurd got his sword. We got swarmed by a bunch of stronger than usual enemies. Sigurd and Midir took down the boss on Turn 35 38 Turns total.

I knew that this was practically over once I saw that Shin joined. But at least it got started. Levin, obviously.

Wow, this got started. Sylvia and Tiltyu.

He's pretty forward, give this man a turban This just made me laugh alot, while I was eating Mini Wheats. But it was worth it.

7/10 Comes late, slow start, decimates everything in her way once she gets going with her 50 use Dragonstone (not thirty like stupid Fa). If she came earlier and with an unlimited use weapon (coughMineglitch), she'd be half as broken as Seth. Worth at least a six and and I like her, so bias.
