That they do. I really wish I could find the plant one though..the fire one ruled, but I got rid of him. |

That and I hate monkeys. I don't think I'll go get it actually, there probably are other water types I'd preffer. And I don't like having stuff in my box.

上手に生きられますように・・Originally posted by Shadic Well then, have fun grinding for hours to beat the first gym. 
I already won when I posted, and didn't grind. Really, it was pretty easy.
Lower defense of the monkey a bunch of times and there you go.
I play underleveled and in disadvantage all the time.

FYI for people who aren't there yet/missed it. In the first "big" city, you can go down to one of the docks and get an evolution stone for whichever monkey you received. (I picked the wrong stone, oops. :<)
Though it doesn't seem to matter much, because I had 3 Fire Stones by the time I had gotten through the game.

The monkeys really kinda suck ass anyway. I'm probably dropping mine from my team next time I play.
(one badge so far; have been distracted.)

Now you wait to do it again for the 3DS's InkBlack and CloudWhite
Nah, it takes two generations to remake 'em. GB - GBC - GBA - DS.
I'm waitin' for the 3DS remake of 3rd gen. I hope we get a remake of Leafgreen and FireRed! :specialed: ____________________ |

Elese is a fucking bitch.
My Sawk knows Dig but can only hit one of her three Pokemon with it in general, and Volt Switch is fucking ARGH
I need to train my Pokemon more or see if I can catch a rock type. Sawk dies due to Aerial Ace which sucks horribly.

| The basic rock type you get at the beginning is AMAZING in that gym, especially if you trade and evolve it. |

Yeah, Gigalith will rape Emolga with Smackdown, which also removes its flying type. I didn't really understand all the trouble everyone was having with her as a result  |

I had very little trouble with Elesa. She only used Volt Switch a total of once, and even then the Emolga that was brought out died in one hit due to my Heatmor's Fire Blast.
It went something like this:
Emolga 1 Volt Switches to Emolga 2
Heatmor OHKOs with Fire Blast
Switch to Conkeldurr to fight Emolga 1
Emolga 1 halves Conkeldurr's health with Aerial Ace
Conkeldurr OHKOs with Stone Edge
And the rest of it was just Zebstrika hogging all the Hyper Potions and killing Victini, while Dewott BARELY SURVIVED Spark and finished it. I had a lot of fun with the match, though.
Also caught a neutral Male Axew with Mold Breaker and named it Zolo, for obvious reasons. EV Training it in Attack now; I'll post my team updates later.
EDIT: Forgot to mention I also got the 6th Badge and Surf.

Volt Switch is a pain in the ass. Thakfully I had my Doggie and Return. Nothing like a high powered nuke normal attack.  ____________________

I'm still grinding to face Elesa, though I have more areas to explore before that.

This was used against me like 15 times.
