Meet Wotsit, the arcanine!
Sorry charmeleon. I love you, but I love arcanine more than charizard. I've now evolved all my Pokémon that could with stones from Celadon city! Gloom came in clutch so many times during the water routes, though clefable with mega punch is absolutely
ridiculous, especially with the STAB. You just one-shot everything.
Raticate is still here and she is doing well, probably because I'm still low-mid game. I'm not sure who I'd replace her with, but I had considered returning , though I'd like to use another underused Pokémon. Raticate might end up staying afterall.
To Cerulean
You know, I didn't mean to have so many stone evolutions this playthrough. But here we are: 4 stone evolutions! I made sure to look up where the 2 moon stones are in Mt Moon - I am surprised you can get them so early. You can get nidoqueen and clefable
early game and destroy everyone, but I chose to keep nidorina as I wanted to see her sprite and make the game harder. I caught an oddish because I've rarely used vileplume despite REALLY liking it...so yeah, got it on a whim.
To & through MT Moon
SO many trainers on the way to Mt Moon...I caught a nidoran ♀ in the grass here. I've pretty much always done this since I was a child, except this time I only got the one. I normally get both the female and male nidoran! I caught a rare clefairy in the cave
because I don't think I've ever used a clefairy. I've used clefable in competitive, but the one time clefairy was used I wasn't playing Pokémon.
Leafgreen was my favourite and yet
I chose to replay FireRed
I've actually used all three Kanto starters, but I've used charmander the least...this is why it's my starter! Unfortunately I didn't reset to get a female, so a male will have to do. I've used butterfree before, so when I hit Viridian forest I didn't really
care to catch anything. I thought about using beedrill, which I might've, but I found a female pikachu! 5% spawn rate so I caught it and decided to use it. I've never used a pikachu before, though I have used raichu in competitive. I got to Pewter gym and had to level up
in the patch of grass. I used pikachu to growl and charmander deal the damage with ember and metal claw. Metal claw is a huge lifesaver for the first gym...the original must've been rough! It dealt with onix easily.
