For pretty much the whole game I just used 1-2 X specials and sweep trough every gym leaders, even the elite four. I've beaten Lance and I'm going to finish the rest of the game soon. I wouldn't even say Unown is a close second. Unown has better stats overall, especially its attack/special attack. I can choose any Hidden Power type (I've chosen Dragon) and with the right DV it reaches 70~ base power. That's a huge difference compared to Tackle from 20 base attack. Also, how long did it takes you to grind that Metapod to level 90?
Shyguymask Nice job on your run. You are right about Unown, dont know what I was thinking earlier. I was thinking of using Magikarp instead of Metapod but I felt he was done before. Although I wouldn't be against it. Other than him, perhaps a hoppip. Oh, and it took me awhile to grind, around two weeks.
never thought I'd see a metapod roll through the E4 and Lance. Great job on your commentary Ruminate Gaming. audio spiked a bit at times but I'd much rather have energetic narration that clips a couple times over perfect monotone audio. I'd say maybe try backing off the mic at times but overall thumbs up for a great video man
