Loving the amount of runs done lately, thought I'd join in some more. First I would like to add to some recent discussion on a couple mons I've used: Spheal: Originally I thought it was a shoe-in for C-rank, but having done more runs since that I think D makes the most sense for it. It's...

Such a great playthrough with just enough details on the Fakemon and region to keep it interesting. Also breeding EQ onto Garchomp was an interesting in-game tactic, glad you ended up using it and TTar to show how brutal this game is. I'm curious, since you say yourself the necessary excessive...

Having used Gulpin recently I agree with most of this testimony, and would support a rise to C as well. Although my final moveset was SB/IB/Yawn/Body Slam compared to yours (I'd rather have sleep than Toxic personally), Gulpin was generally solid as a teammate overall. It comes early, sludge...

I don't really have an opinion on Beautifly, but when exactly did you get Psychic? In my last run right after I beat Wattson I had around 45K pokemoney. Getting 70K for Psychic at that point seems unlikely unless maybe you sell every item and TM you don't use, or try your hands at the slots. I...

I have had pretty poor luck regarding shinies. Back when G/S was the new thing, I encountered a shiny Pidgey and successfully caught it. Throughout the years, I did not find any shinies despite playing every generation that was released. My friend on the other hand found multiple shinies in...

The thing is though, once Seedot evolves, which is pretty likely before/after Roxanne, it performs fine as a Nuzleaf. Gym matchups be damned, but Nuzleaf is able to hold its own against the common route mons, especially with Fake-Out softening (a bit better than Lobre can). Overall, I think...

I was gonna vote for a Folifarig anyway, but it looks like you went with both haha. Normally I'm not a huge fan of ROM hacks with completely new Fakemons or regions, but you sure are making this playthrough compelling to the outsider.

Hey, me again. I restarted my Ruby and did another run with the following troops: Again, the following presents the stats of my run including levels, in-game time, movesets, Gym outcomes, etc. for your reference. In this run, I went through the Trick House in an attempt to attain more EXP...

Hello everyone. I would like to share some information about my latest Ruby version run using this team: Below are the details that I've recorded throughout the run (including movesets, levels, money and HM slaves). Since I haven't played this game in a couple years I wanted to talk to all of...

Having used Machamp too recently, did you ever use Cross-chop? Alongside Karate Chop, I found it to be great killing a few things faster, such as Umbreon and Snorlax, without losing to priority, even if it's accuracy isn't great. In Kanto, Machamp is basically faster than everything anyway and...

I replaced my Gold version battery and gave it a solid run with the following team: Below are my notes concerning the breakdown stats of the run. Feel free to skip this part to the individual analyses after. The following is merely a gameplay summary complete with my game time, party, their...

Perhaps I am overselling Chikorita a bit because I still don't think it's that great nor do I have any personal attachment to it, but I think it has proven useful throughout the entire game and that it is out of place in the C-tier. It's very bulky and can be used in a pinch in a lot of...

I will admit that sludge bomb and sleep powder are nice, however if you're not playing Crystal those two are much more limited, which is currently reflected by Bellsprout (GS) and Vileplume's D-tier. I admit once you get sludge bomb, giga drain, and a leaf stone, Victreebel and Vileplume look...

I would like to add some comments on some tiering. This post contains post-E4, pre-Kanto opinions and also post-Red stats after editing. EDIT: View the tag below to view my opinions right after beating the Elite Four. I believe there are some issues with defining the importance of Kanto. Since...

Much obliged good sir! Thanks for the training and trade.
