Is there much of a delay between what you enter and the action happening? I'm tempted to try using hotkeys / scripts to bind all the buttons to certain keyboard keys + immediately enter them in chat.

It's between 10-20 seconds lag, and you can only respond once every 30 seconds. I think there are bots there though spamming BS.

Well, we should all make an effort to get Fly and teach it to Pidgeot. Go to Cerulean and drop off Drowzee at the Day Care, and then be on our way. There are some annoying ledges there but we have to make do. GAF should try something.

We have to get Lappy ;_;

Teaching our best mon fly after what happened with the Dig fiasco? (we had to box it)

Terrible idea, which probably means it's exactly what is going to happen.

But it means we wont release Pidgeot!!

I can't stop imagining this is exactly what our Pokemons think of us xD

You may now understand why people are hailing Eevee as the anti-Helix.

Horrible move pool, especially in Gen I. It's always been the worst of the Eeveelutions.

For normal play, yes. For what we're doing, Flareon might actually be the best pick. Mainly because during battles we're at the mercy of the Move Roulette. Vaporeon and Jolteon have rad STAB special attacks, but those wouldn't be in the movepool until level 31. Even then it would be at the bottom of the list and we would have less than 1/4 chance of actually selecting thundershock or water gun. Most of the time it would be physical attacks which those eevees suck at.

However, with Flareon and his beastly 130 Attack, tackle, quick attack and bite will have some punch to it. And fire moves are still backed up by a respectable 110 Special stat. Flareon has good possibility to be our most consistent damager. In comparison so far we've been relying on a Pidgeot with only 80 Attack using gust and quick attack. And ABBY has only one real attack and it's fucking Cut.

Thank Arcues for Flareon

Just found this, was it ever any kind of organized? How in the hell did we manage to get this far?

There were maps for getting to and from places early on. Basically a simple gym to poke center route but now we have no clear goal there is chaos (well more chaos than there was)

Before bad movement could be blamed on trolls but now I would say at least 30% of people don't know what the next 3 goals are. I don't know what order we should do them in either or how to prioritize the goals.

People.

Our best Pokemon knows Gust and Quick Attack.

Our second best Pokemon knows Cut and Bide.

STOP WHINING ABOUT FLAREON'S MOVEPOOL.

Do we have enough money to buy the Water Stone?

EDIT: WE ALMOST TOSSED THE FIRE STONE

If we don't want to risk releasing Pidgeot and Charmeleon, then Water Stone is the best option obviously. We just added another goal by buying a Fire Stone...getting a darn Water Stone now.

Yes, one more water stone.


It would be funny if the hivemind keeps red wandering in the underground tunnel and he accidentally picks up an item.

Since we used the last doll, let's just get the drink to the guard and then go to the rocket base and grind the shit out of Drowzee and Eevee (As long as it doesn't reach level 31, we're fine).

Flareon's not any worse than Jolteon for this run. Both are worse than Vaporeon because they don't learn Surf.

Let me guess, they don't have pokeballs with which to catch a growlithe with which to get an Arcanine? :/

WHY THE FUCK DO YOU WANT AN ARCANINE? IS FLAREON NOT ENOUGH?

??? Unless is this another example of Gen 1 being a buggy mess, Lick would be the one ghost move that actually is Super Effective against Physic.

It's another example of buggy G1. Psychic is immune to Lick.

I wish we could drop Drowzee, jay leno or dux. Then we could get Jolteon and Lapras and be done.

Drowzee is literally the only Pokemon on our team that can fight Gastly currently. Pokemon Tower (A mandatory area) is filled with trainers who own Gastly and Haunter. The only way we're going to avoid using Drowzee is if we evolve Eevee and grind it up to level 31 to learn a special attack.

No, Vaporeon is the best because it knows Surf and we don't have to deal with box shenanigans. That's the entire reason why Eeevee's been a trainwreck. Any Pokemon can be decent when we're using an overleveled Pidgeot with Gust and Quick Attack, but not every Pokemon can learn Surf.

It's funny that we could have avoided half our problems just by grinding Drowzee.

Or by letting Pidgeotto learn Wing Attack.

Or by not catching Pokemon at the beginning of the game.

Or by not making Abby forget Ember.

Wow, this run's been a trainwreck for a looooong time.

Alternatively, let's go to Safari Zone and catch a Taurus.

Because Surfing Taurus is the best fucking thing.

Based bird is poisoned.

We can finally get some grinding on Leno and Drowzee.

Your sacrifice is not in vain pidge.
