  • Did Pokemon Tower, went to Fuschia, got Surf in Safari Zone and caught a Tauros (just for the heck of it, but it came in handy because Nidorina wasn't able to learn Surf), also met a Chansey but failed to catch. Beat Koga, found ou i forgot to get the Bicycle so i can't access cycling road. Cleared the water areas instead. Nidorina learned Crunch somewhere here, so i finally gave it a Moon Stone and evolved it. Found the oh-so-Secret-Key in Cinnabar Mansion and surfed Blaines Gym to death. When i left the game, some strange guy appeared and brought me to an Island. I saved there.

    Oh, and i'm having a question. I can't access Saffron, the guard doesn't let me in, even though i have a Fresh Water in my bag. Bug?

    And theres another thing: The FR/LG Burglar sprite, it looks just weird.

  • Why, Fresh Water is a lot more refreshing than Tea!

    So, with that information, i was finally able to enter Saffron. Beat everyone there, did the Viridian Gym, beat my rival and spent a lot of time for catching 30 Pokemon (Tauros (Nidoqueen or Kadabra would have OHKOd most stuff) accidentally defeated a Bellsprout and a Rattata with unlucky crits, but no one cares about that, right? at least i hope so...) so i could get the Itemfinder, because you need it to get the Leftovers... Saved.

    UPDATE: Went through Victory Road. Elite 4 Time!
    Lorelei: Kadabra set up on Dewgong and swept her team, Jynx survived one Shock Wave and anneyed with Attract and Lovely Kiss, but didnt do much damage.
    Bruno: Nidoqueen surfed the Onixes away, accidentally didnt switch it out against Hitmonlee, so Nidoqueen defeated that thing too. Kadabra finished the rest of the team with Psychic.
    Agatha: The first Gengar abused Double Team, which made it annoying, but Nidoqueen still managed to beat it. Haunter was no trouble at all. Second Gengar used Shadow Ball and lowered Nidoqueen's Special Defense, i didnt care about that and KOd it, OHKOd Golbat with Ice Beam, Arbok was able to take some hits (Intimidate+Full Restore=Annoying), but caused no serious problems.
    Lance: OHKOd Gyarados with Kadabra, Aerodactyl survived a Shock Wave and striked back with Ancient Power, but it took of only about 60%. Nidoqueen OHKOd Dragonite and one Dragonair. The last Dragonair survived one Ice Beam, used Outrage, but that didnt save it.
    Champion: Pidgeot was 2HKOd with Ice Beam, Kadabra set up on Alakazam and swept Alakazam, Gyarados and Charizard away, but i accidentally used Shock Wave on Rhydon, and it KOd Kadabra (the first time one of my Pokemon fainted btw). Nidoqueen surfed Rhydon away and beat Exeggutor with 2 Ice Beams, Exgegutor used Giga Drain which didnt really hurt. Run finished. Or do i have to beat the Elite 4 two times?

    3rd gen Duospecies challenge!

    @ Leftovers
    Bashful Nature / Poison Point
    - Surf
    - Crunch
    - Ice Beam
    - Earthquake
    The more balanced member of my Team, didnt OHKO as much as Kadabra, but had a lot better defenses and type coverage
    Leftovers were really helpful, i didnt need one Potion in the whole Elite 4 because i had them.


    YuriKeller / Kadabra m Lv. 67
    3rd gen Duospecies challenge!

    @ Leftovers
    Serious Nature / Inner Focus
    - Reflect
    - Psychic
    - Calm Mind
    - Shock Wave
    The more offensive member of my team, lacked type coverage, but dealt huge damage to most stuff with STAB Psychics.
    Even Kadabra could make use of the Leftovers, they helped to set up some Calm Minds.


    HM Slaves: Bulbasaur (Cut, Strength), Pidgey (Fly)
    On Box: Rattata, 3xNidoran f, Raticate, Dodou, Drowzee, Meowth, Sandshrew, Bellsprout, Voltorb, Zubat, Geodude, Mankey, Gastly, Hitmonlee, Lapras, Tentacool, Slowpoke, Farfetch'd, Golbat, Flareon, Tauros



    Edit: Oh, i didnt read the rules again, so i'll need to catch Mewtwo. Is Masterball allowed or do i have to catch it with regular stuff?

  • Caught 30 more Pokemon for the National Dex, i had to beat the Elite 4 again to get money for Pokeballs and Evolutionary Stones in between. Atfer this seemingly eternal quest, an even more long one began: Getting the Ruby and Sapphire Items. The Ruby wasn't hart to find, but seemingly hours later, i finally found and beat the Rocket Scientist in his Warehouse and got the Sapphire.
    Then, i just had to go down to the Unknown Dungeon and catch Mewtwo. But that wasn't as easy as it sounded. Kadabra could have as many boosts as it wants, a critical Swift would still kill it, or a critical Psychic when Kadabra wasn't at full HP. To Nidoqueen, Swift did pretty much nothing, but it could barely survive Psychics with maybe 5 HP left. And when i wanted to bring down Mewtwo to low HP, i got a crit and killed it. Or i accidentally used the Master Ball. Or Mewtwo lowered my Special Defense with Psychic, if i would have used more Calm Minds to compensate that, i would have OHKOd Mewtwo. Even when i managed to freeze Mewtwo, all Ultra Balls i threw failed. After dozens of attempts, i finally catched it with luck, a lot of luck.

    Moves of my team didnt change, but they were both level 74 at the end.
