Oh, right. Since Gen 4 all legendaries seem to always be dragon types. Which has really devaluation dragons from being this unique superpower to a commodity.

Yeah, it seems fitting! Looking forward to it!

As for the fire/fighting typing, I heard they were going for a theme for the three fire starters, as all of them are based on the Journey to the West (or whatever that story was called). Honestly, I was a bit disappointed to see it happen again, but the fact that we have three has kind of grown on me overtime now that Fennekin's evolutions were Fire/Psychic

It is the best choice for those battles after all.

On another note, really, for all the hate it gets for being a much too overused starter type combination, the fire/fighting typing for Tepig's evolutions is actually very handy!

We'll see how long it'll take before I cave in. You're basically given a Pokemon with a type advantage for the first gym for free, but the second gym is actually a surprise difficulty spike even if you do have an advantage (which you probably don't at that point), so I'm getting mentally prepared for losing a lot.

So for this playthrough of Black I've decided to take a different approach. Pokemon has long since stopped being challenging to me because I always stopped to grind and became overpowered. This time, I intend to speed through the game, devoting as little time to grinding as possible. It's interesting how suddenly I use stat raising and lowering moves much more often and how type advantages actually matter now. And I'll also probably end up rotating my party a lot more because I'll just be catching stronger Pokrmon than I have so I'll use them instead of sticking to one team. We'll see how this goes!

Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker. Though I'm not sure when that'll be. I need to do some less hardcore things now so I can focus on creative stuff

Curse you, siblings!

It is! And you can trade Pokemon back from Gold and Silver by using the Time Machine in the POkemon Center, but only under the condition that your party only consists of gen1 Pokemon.

This is, by the way, the only case that works that way. Gen3 completely reworked everything about the game's mechanics from a coding perspective, so RBY and GSC are not compatible with RSE, FRLG and so on. From Gen4 there's always some means to transport Pokemon from a previous generation, but it's only a one-way trip there.

Haha, yeah, the Safari can be a bitch. Hope it all works out for you!

Meanwhile, I've restarted my Pokemon Black game after uploading all my Pokemon from the previous playthrough into Pokemon Bank. Starting with Tepig the fire piggy, as you do. I'm super stoked already :>

I still can't believe it!
