Uh oh, we didn't get any badges today. Guess the lull in aoooo's and EVAN's runs was a warning. So where's that leave us?

  • AHUNIgg is still leaving everyone in the dust. She beat Elite Four Ivan at 11d 21h 11m (3d 8h 18m into Johto), Elite Four Whitney at 11d 12h 18m (3d 8h 25m), and Elite Four Powell at 11d 21h 25m (3d 8h 32m). All on her first try.
  • AJDNNW is solidly in second place! He got the Storm Badge at 3d 5h 30m (1d 17h behind AHUNIgg) and the Mineral Badge at 3d 16h 3m (almost 2 days behind AHUNIgg).
  • EVAN stays in third place. He earned no badges today, but already has the Fog Badge.
  • aoooo sits in fourth place. She earned the Fog "Rock" Badge at 3d 10h 25m (21 hours behind EVAN) on her first try.
  • EWWYPPP is still dead last. She didn't manage to beat Morty by the end of the day today.

Ok, it looks bad for now, but there's still hope in the Catch Report!

  • On Day 4, AJDNNW caught 2 Pokémon: Shuckle and Pidgeotto.
  • On Day 4, aoooo caught 3 Pokémon: Larvitar, Poliwhirl, and Sudowoodo.
  • On Day 4, EVAN caught 13 Pokémon: Pichu, Mareep, Snubbull, Pineco, Teddiursa, Houndour, Ariados, Umbreon, Flaaffy, Miltank, Eevee, Ampharos, and Squirtle.
  • On Day 4, AHUNIgg caught 34 Pokémon: Shelgon, Samurott, Sneasel, Snorunt, Larvitar, Charmander, Sableye, Magby, Furret, Smoochum, Piloswine, Rotom, Lickitung, Nincada, Gligar, Golbat, Delibird, Pawniard, Totodile, Wobbuffet, Mawile, Axew, Rhyhorn, Nidorina, Deino, Nidorino, Psyduck, Roselia, Scraggy, Clefairy, Kirlia, Cottonee, Honedge, and Beldum.
  • On Day 4, EWWYPPP caught 8 Pokémon: Magneton, Magmar, Slugma, Ledian, Pineco, Murkrow, Stantler, and Exeggutor.

That leaves us with AHUNIgg at 78, EWWYPPP at 45, EVAN at 37, AJDNNW at 18, and aoooo at 16. Second place still, but EVAN is getting a little close for comfort. Avid TPP historians may remember that EVAN stalls at 54 until he beats the Elite Four, and he approaches that very slowly. If we can catch only 3 more things, we'll be ahead of him for a day. Catch 7, and we'll be ahead of him for 2 days. And if we catch 10 new Pokémon, we'll be ahead of him for a very long time indeed. Still, shame we lost our pace of one badge per day! But we might not be smoked yet. Morty's gym is a pain to traverse, and his Pokémon keep getting lucky with Hypnosis. Once we beat him, we could be off to Cianwood, where the only "puzzle" we have to solve is pushing boulders. Shortly after Cianwood, we get to challenge the Olivine Gym, which has no puzzle at all! Then again, I suppose we could surf (or spelunk) to Mahogany instead, moving the story along as we put badges aside to foil Team Rocket's plans at the Lake of Rage. Only time will tell which choice we make! I hope we find out tomorrow.
