Got Soulsilver heh /smug
Why would I buy these games? What more do they bring to the Gold/Silver table?
Boy am I an unfunny ass.
Hehe, named my rival "Dicks". /smug
Started playing Soul Silver about a week ago. I'm currently at Lake of Rage trying to decide on a flying type poke to keep.
I'm not sure I want to do the whole EV/IV thing again. To be honest, it's monotonous and I don't battle anyone anyway. On my Diamond I amasses all the event pokemon I could find, a box and a half of em to be exact. So, I'm just playing SS to enjoy the game.
All in all though, I love it.
I'm digging the little changes that were made to this version, as well as some of the bigger ones. Being able to catch a Larvitar with only 6 badges made me very pleased. I'm not bothering with IV/EV's, I think my teamFeraligtor, Tyranitar, Dragonite, Weezing, Heracross, and Nidoking will be fine dealing with stuff on their own.
Boy am I an unfunny ass.
I have beaten Pokémon Master Red and have climbed the Teak City Tower to catch my second of the two 2nd generation legendary bird pokémon: Ho-Oh.
I do not need that much EV training. I just transfer my Pearl pokémon to my Soul Silver save game with two NDS so I have my rare pokémon and my EV pokémon.
I aim for high IVs and proper natures on the Legendaries because Nintendo's insane desire to kill the games' replayability means I'll only have one shot at them, so they had better be good. I can breed for the rest if I get bored, or if I really, really like the Pokemon.
That said, my awesome Rash (not bored enough to breed for Modest yet), Max Speed, Max Sp.Atk Eevee is finally ready to evolve when morning comes around. I'll have an Espeon back on my team, finally (Espeon rocks, one of my favorite Pokemon. Pity the move-pool for the Eeveelutions is so limited).
My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.
He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.
