Ok, FINALLY! What you've all been waiting for...a post from me cuz I have neglected you all for sooo long. A lot has been going on and I decided that I should be nice to you all for once rather than be gone (haha) for such a long time *even though i did tell you in a previous post -_-*
But I digress...AS has been a BLAST to play, and although I still haven't finished it (due to other things [Pokemon Art Academy... AKA: My LIFE]), I honestly don't want it to end. Just today I
finally caught an Absol to replace my worn down Mightyena Fang (just not as powerful as almighty Absol) and named her Eclipse. Pelli (my Wingull) has evolved into a Pelipper and I'm thinking of possibly, maybe replacing her for a Walrein; Even though it has been a pain trying to level up Eclipse from her puny state of level 28 up to the 40's with the rest of my team (excluding one...). Harley has sadly been retired for a Numel named Arabia who today evolved into a Camerupt. She is the only other Pokemon on my team right now who isn't in the 40's (level 36). The rest of my team is about the same, except Vynes has evolved once again into a Sceptile and I now have a Latias I named Senorita courtesy of Steven and the Latios. Preydator my Dustox hasn't changed, other than the fact that he has learned Bug Buzz in exchange for Silver Wind. So, overall, my team is:
- Eclipse, level 32 Absol
- Arabia, level 36 Camerupt
- Senorita, level 40 Latias
- Pelli, level 43 Pelipper
- Preydator, level 43 Dustox
- Vynes, level 47 Sceptile
For the rest of the game (other than my team) I
just beat the 7th gym leaders Liza and Tate, who specialized in Psychic type. Overall, the battle was, well, underwhelming. Sure, I understand that when RS came out they had just then introduced double battles so they wanted to do something with it, so they made gym leaders for it, I get it, and I also want another gym to do this. I found it interesting, fun, and overall clever and a great way to introduce the concept. And, of course, for the remake you have to keep the same gym leaders with possibly updated designs. All of this is great and all, but they only had 2 Pokemon. Not 2 Pokemon each, 2 Pokemon total. This would have been great as, I don't know, the first or even second gym leader, I'm pushing it. But the
7TH GYM ONLY HAS TWO POKEMON?!?!?! This is just, UGH! It was so incredibly easy I hardly believed it. Sure, this is a kid's game and I myself am a kid, but this is redonkulous! The second to last gym, penultimate if you want to be classy, was even easier than the third gym. THE THIRD GYM!!! Yea, I see that they are kids (I thought you had to be ten to get a Pokemon (never mind be a gym leader), unless maybe you got one that's super low level from family, something like Youngster Joey and his STUPID RATTATA!!!), but if they are easy why are they leading up to the last gym, why are they so close to the Pokemon League?! Game Freak, you done goofed. I just-I just-I don't know...I just don't understand why Liza and Tate are supposed to be somewhat hard. I didn't even have anything to counter them other than Miss Under-Leveled Eclipse and Preydator, who is not only super-effective against but also weak to Psychic-types, so that wouldn't really help me all that much...but I still had no trouble taking down these stupid little third-graders (or whatever the heck they are). When I first saw that there were two gym leaders I was surprised and wicked excited, but I...just, NO. In, conclusion, the easiest way to say this is that I am really disappointed with these gym leaders, but they would have made a great gym earlier on in the game.
Whew, now that that's over lemme just calm down for a sec...ok I think I'm alright now. Took me so long, I think I'm at that point where I should end off this ranty edition of TPP.
So that's all we have for today, read again next time on The Pokemon People! Buhbai!
