Revision as of 23:42, 22 February 2017

I am doing playthroughs of every main series Pokémon game (that is, I'm choosing one out of the pairs or trios of games and playing that one) and recording what happens.

Log

So far I have 4 badges and have had 1 blackout/whiteout/game over.

Log 
1/29/17: This game is pretty hard so far... I have to do a lot of grinding to keep up, because of the low level of wild/trainer Pokémon and the high level of gym Pokémon. My first blackout was while fighting Brock. After losing, I leveled up Elvis (Nidoran ♂) up one more level and of course then it learned a move supereffective against Rock-type. I defeated Brock's Geodude pretty quickly and was close to defeating Onix when suddenly Onix used Bide and OHKO'd Elvis. I had two other Pokémon: a Pikachu whose only attacking moves did no damage against Onix, and a Lv.4 Nidoran ♀, Mercury. I sent out Mercury and slowly got rid of the little HP Onix had left. It instantly shot up 4 levels.
2/3/17: Lt. Surge was ridiculous... ridiculously easy. I expected that I needed to grind a ton to defeat him, as most of my Pokémon were around level 21 and his Raichu was 28, but I decided to feel things out to see what level I'd need to be. I got through the puzzle and challenged Surge with my level 22 Nidoqueen, and his strategy was awful: keep spamming Growl, every so often using Thunderbolt, Mega Kick, or an X Speed. The Mega Kick was the one thing I needed to worry about, but I had 10 Super Potions and he only used it once. Slowly I whittled down Raichu's HP and got the Thunder Badge. Shortly after, I got a bike and went to Diglett Cave to get Flash, and ran into a level 29 Dugtrio! I tried to catch it, but I ended up running out of Pokéballs and it knocked out almost my whole team.
2/4/17: I tried again for a Dugtrio... and caught it first ball. It's seven levels higher than my second highest-leveled Pokémon...
2/17/17: I'm at the point where playing this game is a chore. It isn't fun at all. Really at this point there are only two reasons I keep playing: to say I completed every Pokémon game, and to move on to Crystal.
2/19/17: Four gym badges - that (hopefully) means I'm halfway! Hopefully the game either will start getting more enjoyable here, or will start speeding up.
2/20/17: Today was really productive! I fully evolved Elvis and Chungy, made it through the Rocket Hideout, defeated Giovanni, and got the Silph Scope. I'm starting to feel good about this game. Hopefully I should finish it within the next two weeks.
2/21/17: I beat the Ghost at Pokemon Tower! I one-shotted it with a super-effective critical-hit Bubblebeam. I have no plans to go back to Lavender Town. After that, I caught Snorlax! I made it to Fuchsia City, but since Koga's highest Pokemon is Lv.50 and my highest is 36, I decided to go and get an ExpAll. But I need 50 Pokemon in the Pokedex for that and I only have 22! So I went to the Safari Zone.


Moon

Final Team



Log

I don't exactly have a log or much data for Moon because I decided to do this little challenge after I beat Moon...

Review

  • Final Time: about 50 hours (I didn't check the time)
  • I had no blackouts/whiteouts/game overs.
  • Difficulty: 8/10 Although I had no blackouts, there were a lot of tough times and close calls. Particularly the fight against Totem Lurantis (Screw you, Castform!), Hala and Kahili on the Elite Four, and my closest call: Kukui (It ended with both of our Snorlaxes being out only Pokémon left and I barely beat it without fainting myself.)
  • My overall rating: 9.5/10
    • Region: 10/10 Alola is undoubtedly the most beautiful region I've seen. Really, the only thing that sets it from a 10 is some of the weird landscape on Ula'ula, particularly the desert next to a snowy mountain.
    • Plot: 10/10 Sun and Moon is unique for me because it had a bunch of likable, interesting characters, and an excellent plot that hooked me. I can't really point out any flaws in the plot.
    • New Pokémon Design: 9/10 Most of the Pokémon are really, really well designed. Really the only ones I didn't like were the monkeys and Bruxish.
    • Gameplay: 9/10 This game is so unbelievably polished: a ton of awesome new features and the removal of things that I didn't like (HMs and the PC menus, for example). The only thing that keeps the gameplay from a perfect 10 is the long tutorial lasting most of the first quarter of the game.
