In celebration of OR/AS coming out soon, I’m going to do an Emerald playthrough as soon as I finish my current Pokemon Y run!
And to make it extra special, for the first time I’ll be doing a completely randomized team, using the wyncorporation.com pokemon generator.
Of course, I’m setting a few rules:
1. No legendaries.
2. No Pokemon you can only get post-game ((like Beldam))
3. If my randomized team has three or more Pokemon of a shared type, I am allowed to redo. However, I am only alloted 3 redos, so if I use my final redo and get a team with all water types, I’m rolling with it. So it’s risky.
4. Pokemon that have to evolve via trading do not count, as I have no means of trading.
Everything else is normal. No nuzlocke or anything, I hate those. I’ll probably post about my progress here or there, with my tag as “emerald grump” ((except on mobile where tags don’t work anymore, but I’ll go back later and edit in the tag)).
So, I’m about to do my randomizer….
First roll: Linoone, Skarmory, Metagross, Exploud, Shedinja, Hariyama.
I can’t use Metagross, so I’m using redo #1.
Second roll: Solrock, Rhydon, Cradilly, Swellow, Gardevoir, Altaria.
That’s three rock-types in a game where half the game is all water types, so redo #2 is being used….
Third roll: Weezing, Chimecho, Bellossom, Wigglytuff, Manectric, Swampert.
Well there it is! I’m not too excited about Chimeco, but all the other draws are pretty good; also glad I get to keep my starter. ;u;
So, there’s no use for my final roll, but let’s see what it would have been for fun ((I cannot use this next roll)).
Final roll: Torkoal, Skarmory, Salamence, Claydol, Wailord, Illumise.
Not bad at all, but I have to go with roll #3!
So, my Emerald playthrough will be starting probably tonight or tomorrow!
Now I pose some questions for you all.~ Answer via inboxing me or replying to this post if you can. ouo
1. Are there any other rules I should impose? I don’t want to do anything impossible, but some random restrictions could make for and interesting run.
2. Should I post pictures and possibly videos of my playthrough? Not like a Let’s Play, but maybe a video of me doing each boss battle or posting images of my progress?
I really hope to have feedback from you guys, because this sounds like fun! Also, it’d be cool if some of you want to play along with me to kill time before OR/AS come out. ^u^
