@Aidan7707 Congratulations! I found it easier than Champions Road at least.

Anyway, I just did a horribly depressing write up on my blog about why I play games, and why I hate the bullying that comes with it...

@Tyranexx

Nah, I used to trash them right and left in the original Silver since they were the strongest around. Beating wild Pokémon to grind was too slow - not that the Elite Four was any better...

Now I know why I couldn't remember my 6th Pokemon in my playthrough of silver on the 3ds...

Turns out I simply never added a sixth permanent member to the team. It was the designated HM utility/friendship evolution grinding spot.

@Meowpheel I honestly dont know if I WANT a 6th member.

Like...all my HMs are covered...my team is fine and in terms of whats coming up to catch from what I remember...nothing really worth it

Ironically, I only put up with Sun's post-game grind long enough to get my main team to level 80 instead of the traditional 100. I have too many other games to play to worry about that anymore. XD

My pokemon got to level 100 in the island. No need to grind or play.

plays Monster Hunter Stories instead, lol

About to battle Jasmine on stream and stressing about that 6th party member...

Hoping for Clear Sky at 18.00 because i wanna see the Moon Eclipse today.
Btw, have you heard about Moon Eclipse on 31 January 2018 ?

So that's the stream done with. 9.5 hours into the game, just finished Team Rocket.

Golbat has yet to evolve, and that entire scenario and preceding two gyms were...kinda mindless.

Finally got off of my arse and wrote an article, this time about Mario Odyssey outpacing Battlefront 2 and effectively showing EA the business model they dismissed has merit XD

I'll try to 100% Odyssey. I'm going to save up this year and tackle my backlog, since its kind of getting out of control. I have a lot of games waiting, and a lot of hours there specially if I try to 100% them.

And I heard about the eclipse! Its a shame we can't see it in Chile, but we'll get a partial solar eclipse in February. We just had the super moon, and the blue moon tonight.

On the subject of Pokemon crystal, I'm currently soft resetting for a shiny odd egg.

2 tries so far... I'll take the first shiny and add it to the team as a permanent member regardless of what it is.

My wifi was acting up, but I ended the stream after beating Clair.

Oh holy smokes. On the 5th try I got a shiny Tyrogue. That's actually one one of the rarest Pokemon in the odd egg, at 1%.

That was super lucky.

@Meowpheel Now make your choice wisely...

Hitmonlee of course.

@Octane I was debating it for my Crystalteam, but then I found out you need 8 badges and the Tyrogue is Lv10.

This game is so stupidly designed sometimes.

My choice was to clone it. I made two backup tyrogues just in case.

I'm gonna let the one in my team to evolve into whatever he likes. Though looking at his stats, it may be Hitmonlee.

@YummyHappyPills What about the egg? There's a one in seven chance or something like that. Anyway, the only good fighting Pokemon in Crystal is Heracross IMO. Machamp requires a trade, which is annoying, none of the Hitmons are particularly great (Hitmontop's moveset is terrible, and Hitmonlee gets way better in gen 4), and Mankey isn't available.
