Recently, I've been interested in Pokemon Velvet, a ROM hack in which some Pokemon have received custom forms, and some have been replaced with Pokemon from later generations. The creator has also made Pokemon Serene Crystal, which has also piqued my interest. However, I've decided to play Pokemon Velvet first, and get to Serene Crystal later. I've downloaded the version with the physical/special split, because I've read that that version won't be getting any more updates.
The main character has been replaced with a girl named Liko. The rival is the same character as in RBY, but I've named him after a toxic person who used to have a relationship with one of my best friends. The name I've chosen for him is Jeffrey.
Anyways, time to start my adventure. Instead of Pikachu, I got a custom Hatenna, which is a Dark/Fairy type. Jeffrey snatched an Eevee for himself. My Hatenna took down that Eevee with a few hits from its signature move, Loophole.
After defeating Jeffrey, I had to go to Viridian City to collect Oak's Parcel. Then I had to go back to deliver it and receive a Pokedex. Along the way, I trained my Hatenna a bit.
After receiving the Pokedex, I went to Route 22 to fight Jeffrey again. This time, Jeffrey tried to hinder me with Sand-Attack. Still, my Hatenna prevailed.
With Jeffrey defeated once more, I went back to Pallet Town again, to receive some free Poke Balls from Professor Oak. With that, time to catch some Pokemon.
At Route 1, I encountered a Sunkern. I figured it'd be useful against Brock, plus Sunflora got an evolution in this ROM hack, so I caught it. Then I went to Route 22 for some different Pokemon. I caught a Spearow, which would be useful against Bug types.
I also encountered a custom Squirtle, which was a Psychic type, so I caught it. It didn't have any Psychic type moves yet, so I had to train it. While training it, I encountered a custom Teddiursa, which I decided to catch. The custom Teddiursa is pure Dark, but its evolution is Dark/Fighting, and they've replaced the Mankey line, so I've decided to train it as well. It learned Low Kick at level 9, just like Mankey in Pokemon Yellow. Meanwhile, my Squirtle learned Confusion at level 8.
Then the time came to go through Viridian Forest. After I got through it, I had to train a bit more for the Pewter Gym. My Sunkern took care of the first trainer, a Jr. Trainer.
Then, time to face Brock. My Sunkern took down his Geodude without any trouble. Then, Brock sent out a custom Charmeleon, a Rock type. I switched out my Sunkern for my Teddiursa. My Teddiursa landed a Low Kick, but Brock's Charmeleon used Bide. I made my Teddiursa use Leer a few times, but the Charmeleon's Bide took away a large portion of my Teddiursa's HP. As I let my Teddiursa attack again, Brock's Charmeleon stupidly used Bide again, allowing my Teddiursa to finish it off with Low Kick.
Brock rewarded me with the Boulder Badge and TM34, which still contains Bide. I sold the TM for some extra money. Now, time to go through Route 3.
Current team:
Hatenna (Dark/Fairy)
Teddiursa (Dark)
Squirtle (Psychic)
Sunkern
Spearow (Flying)
