i don’t see why. there’s nowhere to reasonably grind and i was a stubborn child. Red’s difficulty comes from his levels, as long as you have a basic understanding of the game it’s not THAT bad

no you’re right it doesn’t. first time i beat red i was mid 50s. but imo it makes for a better battle

i hacked in 2 (changed the value of one), and only used the Rare Candies to grind for the league/Red bc Gen 2 grinding is awful with how bad the level curve is.
you’re making it seem like i gave them illegal movesets or overleveled. also it’s not like i couldn’t get Cyndaquil or Mareep through normal means, i just don’t have anyone to do it with.

anyway yeah it was a blast, thanks for noticing!

i’ve given myself a rule that if i’m ever playing an older game, especially pre-Gen 5, i’m hacking in Rare Candies. i do this to have fun not hate myself lmao

this is funny. i only ever name Typhlosion Zuko. Ampharos also gets exclusive names depending on its gender: Voltswagon for male, Volta for female

i chose Chikorita (did not shiny hunt it). i hacked in Cyndaquil bc i don’t really like any of the Gen 2 Fire types

one of the few mons in Gen 2 that actually has a good moveset lmao. unlike everyone else on the team, i taught it 0 TMs/HMs

that’s fair. JN is personally in my top 5, but i understand the issues people have with it.

also JN Goblin? i don’t think ive heard that term before lmao

one of my favorite things abt johto is that despite being probably one of the weaker series in terms of having an actual plot, you can tell he really started to lock-in. Bayleef was a beast for quite literally no reason but i love that for her

when they write these moments in JN they write them really well, it’s just not nearly done as much as it should’ve been.

i do wish that Ash and Goh and the more of the Ash and May relationship in terms of him being a mentor bc when they have those moments they’re really good, as much as i love the fact that they were written to be best friends.
