Update 4
I journeyed on towards Nacrene city and on the way WhamShell evolved into a Dewott. I arrived in Nacrene city and pushed on immediately to the outer area of Pinwheel Forest, I ran into a Timburr caught it and named it Splinter. While training unfortunately FurBall died. I trained for about 5 minutes and saved it.

Thoughts as of yet.
Well Furball died, and it was not at the hands of Thorh, Swak or even a strong Timburr, it was a Pidove so yeah the pokemon i was the most impressed by ended up being pretty crap. Still thinking Unova has crap Pokemon so far. Here's hoping this challenge gets a bit better.
