Rainbow Cloud's Chaotic Blog Thread - Leaf Green LP, Pokémon Battle Revolution and Other Stuff

[NMLewis]

WHY does Blaine have his gym locked. And what, does your rival chuck the key (back) up in the mansion?? Because how has he already been and gone otherwise? Or is the player character the only one put through this rubbish? Plus it's always bothered me that Blaine fails to acknowledge any of this when you battle him. "Yeah, my gym was locked. You had to find a key to it. And evidently you did, so here we are." ... There's a lot left unsaid re. the history of Pokémon Mansion too!

Re. Metronome - "It's a lot of fun! ..... But your Pokémon may explode."

Yeah, the extra quest of finding the key for the gym is never explained, only similar quest is Clair sending you into Dragon's Den to find the Dragon Fang/Take the Master's Quiz in the Johto games but her reasons for doing that are explained.

The Pokémon Mansion's left pretty mysterious but I did like some of the details and extra dialogue that were added for the Pokémon Mansion in Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee like the machine used to clone Mewtwo and Mewtwo's reaction when in that location.

Re. Metronome - "It's a lot of fun! ..... But your Pokémon may explode."

Yeah, Metronome can be amusing but too unpredictable

Part 26 of Leaf Green - Cinnabar Gym Quiz Time and an Island Adventure!

 

[NMLewis]

Cinnabar Island is a haven for burglars apparently.
I feel like Blaine's overreliance on Fire Blast cost him a... less comprehensive loss.
Thanks Bill. We're stuck here.

Guess they're mostly there for the Abandoned Mansion

I feel like Blaine's overreliance on Fire Blast cost him a... less comprehensive loss.

Yeah, not very effective against Golem and Blastoise and it's accuracy let it down against against the latter

Thanks Bill. We're stuck here.

Stuck in the Sevii Islands and no access to the PC till I complete the quest, wish I'd left Feathers in the party

Part 13 of the Pokemon Battle Revolution Save File Revisit - Main Street Colosseum Double Battles



Team: Venusaur, Electivire, Weavile, Salamence, Magmortar, Gastrodon

 

[NMLewis]

Yay for being able to use Outrage on Wigglytuff still! ... And have Fire moves do regular damage! (Wigglytuff seems to come up a lot in this game!)

Yeah seemed strange using dragon moves against Wigglytuff, I kept expecting the move to fail because of later gens

Part 14 of the Pokemon Battle Revolution Save File Revisit - Waterfall Colosseum Single Battles



Team: Charizard, Seaking, Gardevoir, Smeargle, Vileplume, Steelix

 

[NMLewis]

Hypno getting so close to Charizard, very unsettling!!

Props to Smeargle! Its one appearance really did count!

 

[Rainbow Cloud]

Props to Smeargle! Its one appearance really did count!

Yeah, was worried about Smeargle having the Choice Scarf as it ruled out being able to use Spore but Smeargle made the difference when it came to the final round, think I would have lost if I'd chosen Steelix instead as my last pokemon

Part 27 of Leaf Green - Sevii Island Sidequests!

 

[NMLewis]

A one-time tutor for the move Explosion. Just as unnecessary as the TM from Gen 1 it replaces.

Moltres is no longer just hanging out in Victory Road, it gets its own appropriate location now!

Yeah pretty much never use Selfdestruct or Explosion, always seems pretty counterproductive as a strategy unless the pokemon's about to faint anyway.

Moltres is no longer just hanging out in Victory Road, it gets its own appropriate location now!

Yeah Mt. Ember's Moltres's best game location and fit's it's theme

Feel kind of sorry for Moltres as it doesn't really have it's own location like Articuno and Zapdos in the other games. Seems like it doesn't really belong in Victory Road in RBY and the Let's Go games and though Mt. Silver's a better location than Victory Road in HGSS it still doesn't seem like it belongs there either and the location's best known for the final battle with Red rather than Moltres.

Part 28 of Leaf Green - Back to the start, Berry Forest and back to Pallet Town!

 

[NMLewis]

Why DO we have to "be quiet" while crossing Bond Bridge??

Voltning's Double Kick on Hypno - You might say it's a little TOO not effective...

 

[Rainbow Cloud]

Why DO we have to "be quiet" while crossing Bond Bridge??

Yeah it's never really explained, kind of seems like it would fit Berry Forest better because of the wild pokemon

Voltning's Double Kick on Hypno - You might say it's a little TOO not effective...

Yeah, probably should have switched out Voltning sooner after using Thunder Wave, would have taken a while to lower Hypno's HP just using Double Kick.
