The next time I restart, I intend to have a team of things I've never used before. But that's still some time away. Playing very little until I get back in the habit of working on stuff for school.
Yesterday I finally managed to play on a Sunday after beating Whitney and picked up the Magnet in both HG and SS. I've actually entered Ecruteak in SS, but not HG, mostly laziness.
My brother bred things for his games. Burmy, Combee, and he bred me a Cherubi (I'm not so sure on that one, it's not hatched yet). He had 3 Burmy eggs and 6 Combee eggs left after getting what he needed (1 male, 3 female Burmy, 1 female Combee). Traded the 10 eggs to SS, 5 have hatched. Female Burmy, male Combee, 3 female Combee, not necessarily in that order, first egg to hatch was female. Doing Apricorn run with Quilava and Slugma and 4 eggs to hatch them (3 to get through Ilex Forest and back).
Still searching for the elusive Surfchu and Flychu on Yellow Forest. Really need to stick both 'walkers on the route now that I've finally gotten a Duskull (stupid Winner's Path kept giving Horsea as the middle one).
