I apologize - it's been a bit since my last update...
Here's today's update:
~June 14th, 2009~
-Flew to Goldenrod City
-Headed into the Radio Tower
-Stomped through four floors of incredibly weak Rocket Grunts, then took on the Rocket Executive (a.k.a. Spock's clone) in the fifth floor office
-Received the Basement Key
-Headed to the Underground and entered the Basement
-Ran into Kamon, and steamrolled his Feraligatr, Haunter, Golbat, Magnemite and Sneasel
-Cleared out the Underground Warehouse
-Headed to the Radio Tower's third floor and opened up the upper east wing
-Beat a couple of Rocket Grunts, then whooped the Executive from the Mahogany Town hideout and two more Spock clones to send Team Rocket packing
-Flew to Mahogany Town, then headed up Route 43 to fight any trainers I'd missed before; also picked up a few items in the maze-like area behind the Lake of Rage
-Received TM10, Hidden Power, from that fellow in the house behind the Lake of Rage
-Flew back to Mahogany and headed out to Route 44; fought all the trainers there
-Arrived at the Ice Path
The opponents' Pokemon levels are... yeah. I am really hoping they increase the levels in the remakes, because I have a 20 level advantage in just about every battle. 20 levels. I'm only raising two Pokemon, of course, but even if I raised a full team of six Pokemon, I'd still be finding the opponents' Pokemon levels too low. (This is why I'm really looking forward to that battle with Red. :D)
Current Team:
Typhlosion's Moves: Swift, Rollout, Attract, Flame Wheel
