I downloaded the game 2 days after it came out, but I really didnt see any bugs beside those one which have been reported these days.
Okay, we start as usual at New Bark Town and since the starter is a stationary Pokemon, I always do soft resets to get a good one with decent stats. Ta-dan! After 50 resets or something I got a shiny Totodile, which I forgot to rename, but who cares? It's a f.....ing shiny mon! And its stats are good enough (I can rename it later on with the name rater, ofc).
I start to explore the routes, I can get Sentrets, owls, rats, tiny birds, etc but Pikachu caught my attention, hoping that I would encounter it again after I get some Pokeballs. The first battle against the rival wasn't a big deal (as usual, duh): a couple of leers and dile can deal decent ammount of dmg to chikorita, specially with rage increasing dmg.
After leaving the Egg to prof Elm I got some Pokeballs, then I went to route 29 hoping to find Pikachu....but! A wild pidgey appears ._. Okay, it's not that... I caught it and renamed as
Jetstorm.
I went then right off the bat to route 46 and the first encounter was: A shiny Geodude! :O :O :O (crap, that 1/256 thing works fine! gj Crystal_). Luckily, I managed to catch him after a couple of Pball throws. Named Rocky (how creative...).
I keep training/looking for another good team mate and at route 30 I encounter a Spinarak... Seems it's bug and weak as hell against Falkner, I decide to finish him. So, my next exploring area is Dark Cave and the surprises don't finish: A shiny Zubat! (Hell, yeah!) Welcome Bruce!
I managed to caught it and caught also a wild Bellsprout
(Carnivora) at route 31 (trade it for the Violet City Onix?? Naaaah).
With not much explanation, I trained hard to beat all the sages at the Bellsprout Tower (without potions it would have been impossible) but unfortunately Carnivora was taken down by a critical hit confusion from a faggot Curse Slowpoke :( Anyway with ony 4 members and a bit of luck I managed to defeat Falkner as well at the price of losing Jetstorm in battle :'(
Keeping my way to route 32, I caught a Nidoran Female, named
Dina. Also, I noticed that a hidden item was removed from a determinated spot (Crystal_, check pic). It was intended to be a Great ball, btw.
I dont remember where but I managed to catch a Psyduck (it was a new route, I swear) which I renamed
Darwin and a Sandshrew
(Sonyk) into Union Cave. I decided to keep Sonyk into the box.
After I beat Team Rocket at the Slowpoke Well, I train hard to face Bugsy. For some reason I decide to put into the box Dina and Sonyk after the training, even if they could help a bit against the bug leader.
This Gym was hard as hell, I didn't mind Bugs would be so powerful offensively in battle. Made me remind the changes I made in Strike Yellow. When I finally reach Bugsy, I spent all my Antidotes...
The battle starts. All my pokemon do manage to deal decent ammount of damage but they are weakened every time and I have to watch out for a finishing blow or strong move from my opponent. Then Bugsy sends out a Heracross... WHAT? A Heracross?? WTF!! I change Croconaw to Bruce and a freaking Horn Attack did 65% dmg!! Are you kidding?? That's not all, seems that Heracross can outspeed easily Croconaw, Rocky and Darwin with no problem. Bruce has Wing Attack, so I pray to Arceus to attack first (it's a shiny, come on! It must be faster!). And YES! I'm faster and Heracross just ate that 4x weakness! Hell yeah!
I totally forgot about Scyther and I said myself: Oh, crap, where the heck is Scyther?? I haven't faced him yet... And talking about the devil: There come scyther at full hp @_@ I have 3 tubercolous Pokemon left and Rocky with 55~60% HP. I send out Rocky. Took very well a Fury Cutter CRITICAL HIT! (crap!) I pray again to Arceus, asking for the next incoming Fury Cutter hit wouldn't slay Rocky...
And that happened! Rocky survived with only 6 HP!! It was so exciting! Now, the hax that you just dont want to happen "ROCK THROW, PLEASE, DONT MISS! and it doesn't miss :D :D :D Yeah, Scyther you can eat that 4x weakness with pleasure! MUAHAHAHA
And the battle, finally, ended this way:
