Pokemon Crystal Fire UMC - Part 1
I decided to continue the UMC, and so have started Gen II, using Pokemon Crystal.
My progress so far:
* Started a new game, picked Cyndaquil, did all of the boring inroduction stuff.
* Kicked my Rival's ass, as I'd trained Cyndaquil to Lvl 10
* Eventually got to Violet City, whilst fighting against all the wild battles and trainers, where I caught a Growlithe on Route 36.
* Tained Growlithe against the Sages in Sprout Tower in preperation for the Gym.
* The Gym wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be. Although Mud-Slap caused a lot of damage, Cyndaquil and Growlithe were troopers, and managed to pull through to get me my first badge.
* Healed up, diposited the Togipi egg into the PC, and made my way to Route 32.
* Whilst training here, Cyndaquil evolved into Quilava.
* Union Cave was very easy. what with Ember on both Pokemon and Bite on Growlithe.
* Reached Azalea Town. Healed up, talked to Kurt and sent Team Rocket packing.
* For obvious reasons, Bugsey was extreamely easy. Four Embers, 3 KO's.
* My Rival was a different matter, however. Although his Gastly went down without a fight, his Croconaw managed to KO Quilava. Fortunatly, Bite's a stronger move than Tackle, so Growlithe managed to save the day. And like Gastly, Zubat went down with no problems.
* Healed up, and visited Ilex Forest. Solved the stupid FarFetch'd puzzle, and got HM01 as a reward.
* After getting myself a slave, got through the forest and rewarded myself with TM02, which I immediately taught to Quilava.
* Fought all the trainers on Route 34, reached Goldenrod City, and saved my game, ready for the arduous task ahead of me.
I'm currently attempting to get a shiny Magby. Wish me luck.
