Today’s game is Pokemon Soul Silver. I finally picked it back up again to try and make a dent in Kanto. So far I’ve gone and tackled the first 2 gyms.
One thing I really appreciate about the game is they give the Gym Leader’s new designs. It’s definitely cool to see the design change in a way that it feels like time has passed.
I do find that the Gyms here, and too an extent the Gyms in Johto, go really fast. Like, in the span of 20 minutes I had cleared 2 gyms.
I did struggle a little bit with Sabrina so that could have been shorter though.
Speaking of struggling with Sabrina. She pulled so many damn revives out during our fight. It felt like every time I kicked her Alakazam down to 10% health, she’d whip a revive out and undo all my work. Eventually I finally got her sorted though.
I wasn’t really paying attention to her dialog after because I got caught up with something. But my next goal is to figure out where to go next. I’m thinking of popping over to Lavender town if I can though regardless, I like it there.
Honestly, as much as I love going all Smogon and stuff in my teams, the composition is just whatever I feel like.
Right now I have a Gardevoir, a Pidegeotto, a Magmortar, Gyrados (The shiny at the lake of rage), a Sentret, and another one I can’t remember.
The teams that are whatever you feel like are often the most personal. I like it!
It definitely adds a degree of personilzation! When I’m going through the story it makes it feel much more meaningful to me to use Pokemon I like rather than whatever’s strongest. Plus, with the story I feel like any Pokemon can carry you to the finish line, there’s not much that’s difficult about the story.
