Finished three gyms today! Would have probably beaten more if I wasn't hung up on trying to get specific natures for my team members because what is overdoing it for an in-game team.
Anyways, I named myself Yukiko and I chose Snivy as my starter. You can imagine how much of a pain the second and third gyms were ugh. Had to catch a Magnemite for the second gym and somehow managed to get through the third gym thanks to Venipede and Rollout as well as Magnemite if I remember correctly.
Currently I am on route 6, 7, Fornlorn Forest (any of those three) trying to catch my fourth member: Emolga. Here's what I have in my party thus far (no images because lazy):
