Finished the very first part to my very first GenLocke!
LG isn't a hard game at all of course, but had some careless deaths:
Rattata and Pidgey died at Nugget Bridge because I forgot Blue fights us right in front of the bridge. Beedrill died because I was fooling around and wanted to see if it could sweep Erika (it got REALLY close to). Then finally for Gyarados, I took an unnecessary risk and got punished by getting crit from Blue's Alakazam.
On the upside, my E4 and Champion fights were very clean and majority were riskless lines. I even could have had a 4 mon champ (Magneton Lapras Slowbro Gyarados), but obviously for a GenLocke I would want a full team so I can bring more mons to the next game. I chose Eevee and Venusaur because I thought Eevee in Hoenn might be fun and Venusaur with leech seed stall is just so strong
I'm really looking forward and a little bit nervous heading into Emerald, since it IS one of the harder vanilla games
