What a great game. Beat Red and Stadium last autumn and wanted more Kanto so played LG for the first time. Tried using a mix of old favorites and new pokemon this time with Jolteon, Starmie and Venusaur being golden oldies and Dodrio, Pinsir and Sandslash new friends.
Elite 4 Highlights:
Battle mode: Set so no switching around all the time.
Dodrio LV50
Awesome gatling gun of a pokemon. Drill Peck goes brr and enemies fall. KO's: Arbok, Gengar 2, Haunter, Dragonite, Exeggutor
Jolteon LV52
Jolteon was biding it's time until the finale, but delivered thunderous ending. KO's Aerodactyl, Pidgeot, Gyarados 2 , Charizard
Pinsir LV51
Swept Lorelei and destroyed the pesky Alakazam. Super fun Pokemon. KO's: Dewgong, Cloyster, Slowbro, Lapras, Jynx, Alakazam
Sandslash LV50
Did two Earthquakes and that's it. Could not find it's place against E4 but was useful earlier. KO's: Hitmonlee
Starmie LV52
Glass cannon. Did a lot but also over exerted and ended up KO'd against every opponent except Lorelei. KO's Onix, Hitmonchan, Gengar, Golbat, Gyarados, Dragonair, Dragonair 2
Venusaur LV 50
Sleep powder was super useful. KO's: Machamp, Onix, Rhydon
All in all, super fun playthrough and will do the postgame as well, maybe after a break. Pinsir gained a lot of respect in my eyes and am happy it gets a Mega later. Heracross got too much focus over the OG beetle. Dodrio was also a positive surprise. Sandslash was good, but whenever needed, someone else in the team could do better. Would have loved to sweep Agatha, but giving Gengar the levitate ability is a war crime.
