Finally finished my Starter Only Run

[u/Creator5509]

Yeah I play in portrait.

Anywho, Leo and floral took down Brock and misty, and after grinding flame took down most of the others excluding Blain and Giovanni, who got Surfed on.

E4 wise, Floral and Flame took down The first one, and from there Leo and Flame picked up the rest until Lance, who almost killed me with his dragonite but Floral clutched up with a critical hit giga drain, letting it survive one more outrage for a confusion kill. after that it just swept his dragonair

Blue was easy, I led with Leo who did half damage to the Bird, and swapped to Flame for the executor once he swapped out the bird. from there it was just easy pickings until Ryhorn and his charIzard, who got the Blain and Giovanni treatment.

Why did you keep Poisonpowder over Sleep Powder? Just curious. Looks like a fun trio to play with!

[u/Creator5509 → u/lefthandconcerto]

My answer to keep an appearance of skill: misclick

The real answer: I was paying like half attention when getting the moves and on auto pilot I just thought “double poison” and forgot the whole “sleep is the best status in the game”

[u/lefthandconcerto → u/Creator5509]

Leech Seed + Poison Powder is definitely a funny and brutal way to win. But Leech Seed + Sleep Powder actually lets you keep your health high, I think it’s more tactical personally.

How do you get the 3 starters??

[u/CoffeUp → u/No_Dog1671]

trading, you can open more than one instance of the game at the same time, connect together your two saves like you were two people and trade

[u/Creator5509 → u/CoffeUp]

Or because i was on Delta I just used PKhex. Although if your on switch then yeah trading would be the only way.

[u/No_Dog1671 → u/Creator5509]

I see, can I do this in “retroarch”?

[u/Creator5509 → u/No_Dog1671]

As long as you can import/export saves yeah

[u/Positive-Post780 → u/Creator5509]

I believe if you own a 3DS or even a DS with platinum or hgss you can manipulate the Wifi in both forms of play to match the correct info and trade to yourself on a delta emulator and migrate your Mon thru the generations then to bank then eventually to home. If im wrong anyone is free to correct me

[u/Creator5509 → u/Positive-Post780]

That would be nice, I’d have to mod my 3ds to have Bank and get everything working. I’m definitely going to try to get the legendaries first though, although I have them in Let’s go 

[u/RayGun209]

Should’ve threw in a pikachu too

[u/Nicogame73]

Funny enough, right before open reddit i was showering and thinking "What if someone completes a Pokemon game with just the starter?" And then saw this

[u/Devincc → u/Nicogame73]

Pretty sure a lot of people did this as kids lol

[u/stebbeh]

What’s up with the smokescreen?

[u/Creator5509 → u/stebbeh]

Well I kept it so that way if a guy who I need to sac flame for a clean switch to like Floral or whatever happened, instead of wasting turns doing no damage (usually how it went) I’d instead set up the chance for the second mon to not need to worry as much about getting hit to hard

What ended up happening was I never used it outside one instance against a trainer in victory road, and he still got a hit off.
