Raven Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) And with that, an update: Session 1: Chose Cyndaquil this time round. It's a female, which makes a nice change. Her nickname is Blaze. Did the usual faffing about. Got the egg. Beat the Rival. His name is Kai. Then went into Dark Cave and caught a Lv4 Zubat. Her name is Edge. With my team of two, I kept switching Zubat out against trainer Pokemon to raise him. His offensive is basically shit right now. Blaze evolved in the gym, just before the fight with Falkner. His bitching Pidgey used like 5 x Sand Attack on Blaze, it took about 6 tries for Ember to hit. Pidgeotto didn't get much of a chance to shine really. He was burnt and Ember 3HKO'd him. Good. MUCH better timing than my first run with Chikorita. Pokemon: Quillava Lv14 - Ember - Quick Attack - Smokescreen - Leer Zubat Lv10 - Leech Life - Supersonic - Astonish Time: 00:53 Edge's grown 6 levels and hasn't fought a single battle to himself yet. GJ Blaze. I'm going to catch a Wooper in passing through the next route in preparation for a Surf HM slave. He's gonna take me to Red Gyarados, who will be learning Waterfall. Not sure what to do about Whirlpool, though. Edit: Continued play. Did some research and found out Wooper can learn all 3 of the water HMs. I also used it for Rock Smash. Got some levels in the cave. Edge could fight her own battles after learning Bite. She cleared out the Rockets single handedly. We took on Rival Kai before trying the gym, but Gastly had Cursed Edge. Crokanaw kind of destroyed Blaze, and then Edge fell shortly after due to some damage from Curse already inflicted. Instead of facing Kai again, I decided we should go for the gym, get some more levels in. Edge went on to learn Wing Attack in the middle of Bugsy's gym. I should've healed her before facing Bugsy but I forgot. Edge took half of Scyther's HP off before getting KOd. Blaze cleared up the rest of the leader's Pokemon - she gained a complete levels-worth of experience from KOing Scyther alone. Saved outside the gym.

General Horace Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I'll have to restart, because Desu_____ emulator is stupid, I'll try No$GBA. I'll probably have an update later tonight my time sucked anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I wouldn't recommend No$GBA. I've been using it, and it's quite fast, but it crashes continuously. Around the time I got to Ecruteak, the crashes happened almost every time I saved. I tried to get around this by closing it as soon as it saved, but it now crashes on loading. So my runthrough is a bust. I haven't had much luck with DS emulation in general. I may restart on the original, if only for my own interest.

On my draft though, it did crash a couple of times when I entered the national park with a bike. o.O Still, emulation gaming seems weird. Like, you cant frameskip, or else your time score kinda goes bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Horace Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I'll just get my cart back from a friend, and start a bit later on, probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Maybe it's the game I'm using. Or maybe it's some issue with my computer. In any case, it probably wouldn't hurt to try. There seem to be different quirks (my game didn't like it when Elm rung me, either time), so maybe it will turn out all right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I'm pretty safe using my 3DS and cart. The Home button in the middle is very useful for freezing the time of the game. It's like a universal pause button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_ Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Oh, I got Dragonite I guess. Yeah, sorry about that, I have a mock exam tomorrow so it's keeping me busy >.> I'll try and update soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Horace Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I had no idea who's turn it was, I asked a while back, and recieved no response. Not that I care, I don't plan on using any other pokemon anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Session 2: Well shit, it took me 30 minutes to do the following: Beat Rival Kai, Catch the 2 Farfetch'd, Catch Paras for Cut, get the Charcoal, get through Ilex Forest, catch my Drowzee and call her Chopper, beat some trainers using Drowzee, talk to the daycare people event, and then heal my Pokemon at Goldenrod PC. Saved here.

Stark Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) Houndour, I guess. (Not likely that I'm ever going to use it.) That ends the Johto picks, assuming Manix is done. I get the last Johto pick and the last Kanto pick. Edited November 4, 2011 by Overlord Zetta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Just pick two and let it snake back down to me lol. Snorlax for me, huzzrawr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stark Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 No, I'm not likely to use all the ones I have anyway, just commenting on the situation. Honestly the whole Kanto draft seems very unbalanced no matter who kicks it off- there isn't likely to be anything remotely useful after the first few picks. Basicly Snorlax >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Zapdos >>>>>>>>>Articuno/Safari Zone Pokes (Both cost a lot of time)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>everything else (Horriblely underleveled) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconVegeta1986 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) I would like to get at least one more Johto pick to round out my team more unless I can change my previous pick. (and assuming no one takes it of course). Edited November 4, 2011 by The Smithy Gang! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way! >.< EDIT 2: Can someone tell me how do i get that Block call from Baoba? I got the nat dezx before showing sandshrew to Baoba. I want a Skorupi/Drapion, but if its costing me hours, I'm not sure I can risk it. Edited November 5, 2011 by blues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember to save and turn it off every time you go off - don't waste time leaving it on to eat food or go to the bathroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use an emulator, remember? But I've heard people saying that if you finish the 3nd task, then as soon as you get nat dex you get a call from him. How does it happen?

Stark Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) I can only speak from experience from my last run, where I unlocked the zone changer well before beating the E4, and I believe I got the call that blocks were available just shortly after beating the Champion. Also, I play on cartridge, so I really have no idea how playing on an emulator might affect all that time based stuff.
