Yeah, you'd understand best of anybody. I don't really need trading. I thought this run would be really tough with 2 pokemon that i don't think i've ever used (i might have used magneton once) for half of the game (and an underlevelled skarmory at the 8th badge), but its really not. Foretress can steamroll anything with rollout. Its just a matter of time before I either level magneton high enough for Zap Cannon, or get Rain Dance and Thunder. Then he'll completely destroy stuff. Also when I get Defense Curl for Foretress. I'll just need to get past the Fire Gym...
