Onix is 4x weak to water, compared to Vulpix's 2x. Combine this with that spdef difference, and you have a lot of pain for the giant rock snake.

I'd never noticed that about Red/Blue. That's... kinda dark.

Onix quite known for having horrible special defence, it's more effective to take a non-effective special attack against him then a normal and/or super effective physical attack.

And, it's quite possible that your Onix got bad roll on his SP def stat and Vulpix got a great roll on it.

And he angrily questions why you're even here when none of your Pokemon are dead. Yeah. I think you can figure this one out on your own.

So, I never realized this playing through red/blue the first time...

Wow i never realized this at all. Makes me want to replay blue just to see it...

Elite Four plus Lance defeated, round 2. Just defeated them a third time today in physics, actually. (this distracted my friend from his work, lol.

Johnny (Blastoise) just hit Lv60... replaced Yoshi (Feraligatr) with him simply because I think Feraligatr's design kind of, uh, sucks. The Hunchback of Johto, yeah okay

This is better than grinding off of gym leaders or other trainers, too, so eh

Dude, that happens all the time.
Freezing is useless.
Why do you think there's no move that specifically inflicts it without causing damage, a la Thunder Wave?

Because if it weren't for that obvious programming error, it'd be far too cheap? Granted, there's Hypnosis...

Freezing is useless because there is no move that specifically inflicts it; the only way you can get frozen is by a 10% chance off of ice beam, blizzard, etc (or 6.7% off of Tri Attack).

Freeze lasts pretty much "until you thaw" (20% chance every turn of attempting to act). Sleep is 1-4 turns. How well they work in comparison to one another depends on your luck.

It's cool seeing your rival turning more and more into a nice guy the more you fight him. (See: past dragon den fight.)

He still makes the ultimate dick move of challenging you at the exit of Victory Road though.

I actually did pretty good against him there, unlike that sickly kid in sapphire;
he beat me so many times it was demoralizing

Agreed, I wished I could've gone back in time and let that little sucker die Pokemon less. I'll find the Surf HM somewhere else.

I also dominated Silver at the end of Victory Road in my first run through. He's been fairly easy so far on my current run. I'm at Mahogany Town and just about to face off Bryce, but don't feel like it tonight.

Honestly, I enjoyed his stiff dick attitude instead of this softening over time attitude... I had more respect for him as a tough guy

Onix/Steelix can learn half of them I know.

Also, I don't know if it's been mentioned, but Japan is getting a special Celebi from the movie that unlocks a special sequence in HG/SS. I'm putting it in spoilers out of courtesy:

Machop can learn Strength, Rock Smash, Rock Climb and Headbutt. Most water types can learn Surf, Waterfall, and Whirlpool but I'm pretty sure Chinchou can learn Flash too.

So I restarted my SoulSilver finally and here is my team thus far:

Lv. 21 Mystearica (Misdreavus)
Lv. 20 Lumen (Chinchou)
Lv. 18 Grotle (no nick b/c was a gts trade)
Lv. 17 Ridley (Skarmory)
Lv. 18 Meizuki (Houndour)
Lv. 18 Liz (Ralts)

I also have a Lv. 15 Nidoran female I'm training up for taking on Whitney since I have no fighting moves. I'm considering using Mystearica's Spite on Rollout unless it has like, 20 PP in which case I'll use lumen and a Thunder Wave + Confuse Ray combo. Everyone has been infected with Pokerus too so yay stat boosts.

I've also been catching everything I find for no reason other than I felt like it. I now have Pineco and Yanma.
