What are you playing right now?

[mikey]

I died a lot on koloktos but it was such an intense fight

The next silent realm was the easiest of the threesince it's all based on timing

[SlowPokemon]

badass though right

Very neat, just went on a little too long (ironically I could say the same about most other aspects of this game)

Just warning you Cynthia (sinnoh champion) is probably going to be your hardest challenge

So, a quick update. I just finished Pearl last night and have moved into X. I beat Pearl in literally 3 days, and had 2 deaths total. Cynthia was a breeze because I was so concerned that I spent a whole day grinding my whole team up to level 65.

Currently, I'm in Glittering Cave on Pokemon X. The current team is:

• Delin (Scraggy), Level 17
• Juliet (Fletchinder), Level 22
• Marshell (Wartortle), Level 19
• Pete (Bunnelby), Level 18
• Jho (Axew), Level 15
• Iggy (Helioptile), Level 17

I lost my Froakie to Viola's stupid Infestation hax, and actually almost wiped there. Since then the only trouble I've had was trying to catch Jho, who spammed Dragon Rage and killed my Oddish and Drifloon. I'm optimistic that I'll get this game finished by the end of the week.

Death Count

• Pokemon Red: 6
• Pokemon Sun: 13
• Pokemon Pearl: 2
• Pokemon X: 3

(PS: I'm currently writing a companion story to this run for an event on the Nuzlocke forums. I'm thinking of posting it to the Story Telling board here, as a spiritual successor to TGNSMPA, since I never got the inspiration to get that off the ground.)

Well grinding will make any battle a breeze. That spiritomb will always be tough (until the inevitable remakes where it will have a weakness). Literally the only way you can get a super effective move on it is to use foresight and then a fighting type move.

Do it

[SlowPokemon]

Reached the Lanayru Sand Sea, then went back to the sky and knocked out a bunch of Goddess chests and sidequests I hadn't done yet. So next time I start playing I'll help the robot pirate and his water thing I guess. I hope it's neat.

Very neat

Well I guess the first part is boring but the dungeon is a lot of fun and the boss gets hyped

[Olimar12345]

don't look slow

Is that the giant octopus boss with the super generic, shoot-the-big-glowing-eye part?

yeah it was a really lame boss battle but the part leading up to it was epic

The boss got hyped

I do have to give it to ss though: it knows how to set you up for disappointment and does it like a professional.

The boss also looked absolutely... lame, from a visual standpoint too. Like, I thought it was gonna look creepy and it looked like a huge doof and was incredibly easy and boring. The atmosphere and set-up was so good, too...

Any boss battle involving the bow is never strictly terrible

...okay, maybe not terrible, but certainly underwhelming.
