Reminder that Beldum/Metagross community day is Sunday. I was building one up anyway but this is cool I suppose
I finally got Celebi wooo. It was kinda frustrating going through the forced "tutorials" of evolving up
yet another umbreon and espeon, and then having an unskippable 7-day task after that. But catching grass types is fun, and it's cute.
Even if it mechanically seems about equivalent to an Exeggcute, but harder to level? Meh, I'm more likely to use it than Mew.
I got the excellent curveball first try
And then did it again immediately, bizarrely! Pretty great luck.
Meanwhile in Crystal Clear I discovered Voltorb Flip. I was expecting lame slot machines (which the romhack *also* has) but this game is pretty neat! I'm a fan of Picross, this is sorta like that but does require luck too. Which sounds like an awful combination, but it's surprisingly engaging.
It doesn't seem to cost anything to play, to avoid teaching kids to gamble heh. Sorta a weird message in what's obviously a casino but fine.
I might get a Larvatar even though I already have a Houndour for dark. I've been shaping up a strange grass and dark party, with a jolteon now. The Hoppip and Sunkern aren't really doing anything yet though, since I haven't found the EXP share. Someone said it was for sale in the department stores, but I just checked both. Seems like I have to do the Red Gyarados quest like normal... Fortunately the train just works, no need to find the mimic girl!
I also found a guy who sells event moves. He gave Splash to my Sunkern for free...
