I've missed the last ~3 hours (had to leave when they were attempting to cut down the tree outside the gym).

What has happened?

Pidgeot da god

 

[Revven]

I thought the Dojo was required.

It's not, it's optional.

 

[mclem]

Trying to remember how long an ordinary new player would take to get this far. 25ish hours?

Stop pressing B!!!!

Pidgeot reck'd the gym, now they're trying to get out.

 

[DJ88]

There's something truly poetic about this whole thing. The fact that wandering around aimlessly in caves and grass, due to the thousands of button inputs, has leveled up our pokemon enough to be able to survive the endless growls and useless attacks during gym battles due to the thousands of button inputs. It's beautiful

 

[foxuzamaki]

omg when did they escape the gym lol

 

[Ambient80]

It's kind of funny how survival of the fittest plays out.

The pokemon that's best equipped to win, wins more battles, which make it get more exp and levels, to win more battles, reinforcing itself.

Being caught earlier definitely has an effect...but Pidgeot has left Charmeleon in the dust.

Funny how that works out. The best Pokemon chooses itself.

Well that, plus changing the order in which they are sent out is nearly impossible to do purposefully. lol

 

[Box]

Rocket Hideout -> Pokemon Tower -> Silph Co -> Saffron Gym seems like a good plan. No need to run off to Fuschia since we'd just have to come back. Fighting Dojo would be worth it if we can deposit another Pokemon but it's not required.

Eh, maybe 10. Probably different for everyone though.

 

[Seven Force]

where's fly again?

A house tucked away near where Snorlax is by Celadon.

There's a tree you have to cut to get to it though, so that's probably not happening.

You mean to the 4th Gym? I'd say even less than that, more like 18/20 hours.

Edit: And that's taking into account the fact that they would spend more time in the grass chasing Pokemon

 

[PBalfredo]

HEY GUYS I SEE YOU HAVE AN OPEN SLOT!

 

[Faddy]

That slot will be filled with Hitmonlee/chan regardless. Might as well get a rad pokemon for our team.

You don't have to do that.

 

[Cess007]

We were one "A" away from cutting the damn tree!

 

[Austriacus]

I found a great one on DeviantArt

Spoiler

Do it, Game Freak, DO IT!

You can order them from the guy who makes them for 150 bucks

 

[CrocMother]

Yeah drowzee would be better for those two, hopefully it's used and given some decent moves.

Confusion is the best move in the whole party right now

 

[HK-47]

where's fly again?

Above the Cycling Road.

 

[BlueMagic]

Gym lasted like what, 20 minutes tops? Cutting 2 trees included.

Are there any more mandatory trees in the near future?

 

[Sheroking]

You don't have to do that.

They should, though. All you have to do is beat 'em and then pick, so it's an easy good Pokemon to get.

Hitmon(something) and Lapras are kinda necessary.

Nice. I left when ABBBBK( was growling the weepinbell

Sand Attack

 

[Chuck]

FUCK THESE LEFT TYPING ASSHOLES

 

[everyday math]

Left....why left?

 

[Off-Kilter]

did we beat Erika yet

I was napping

 

[sohois]

Seems like a bunch of shit got done whilst I was sleeping, last time I was watching they were still stuck in the cave.

 

[Curler]

Hopefully the Sylph Scope can be obtained tonight...

 

[JacksUsername]

There isn't anything to cut!

Crueler words were never spoken.

So true.

 

[Deleted member 13876]

did we beat Erika yet

Yes.

 

[Phire Phox]

did we beat Erika yet

Yep.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Yes.

 

[jman2050]

I'm gonna enjoy when they get Surf to work for the first time, jump into the water, and then immediately press up to jump out.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Well that, plus changing the order in which they are sent out is nearly impossible to do purposefully. lol

Exactly, which randomizes it. On average, it seems like a guy will do a few hits, and get switched out. If he can win before that, he gets more exp.

 

[Zeppeli]

did we beat Erika yet

I was napping

Yeah

 

[CrocMother]

BRO DO YOU EVEN CUT

 

[BadTaste]

Probably been posted already but made me laugh

 

[PandaPedinte]

[Toxi]

HEY GUYS I SEE YOU HAVE AN OPEN SLOT!

Hitmonchan is shitty in Red and Blue. Like unbelievably shitty.

Hitmonlee is way better, but it doesn't help with our Ghost problem and it can't Surf.

 

[Earthstrike]

Damn i just missed the gym.

 

[everyday math]

Yes.

Yes yes

 

[Lexxism]

They finally cut it lol

 

[Sheroking]

VICTORY

 

[Phire Phox]

Finally!

 

[watervengeance]

We're averaging one badge per day, which is pretty damn good.

 

[espher]

That pause on CUT... just, like... masterful timing.

 

[Baroni9]

That was tense.

 

[bluelightningduo]

That CUT

 

[FlynnCL]

Take that, left spammers!

 

[Professor Lich]

Just saw a tree get cut.

So good.
