My First Pokemon Only Run: Part 17 Gym Leader Wallace

So with the world of Pokemon safe once more I decide to take on the last Gym Leader of Hoenen, Wallace.  With 1Standchu by my side and a single HM slave that was required to get into the gym I'm off.

Now this gym puzzle used to stump me A LOT when I was a kid, yet I was able to figure each section of it on my first try.  Guess I'd study the strategy guide so had back in the day that I still remember it today.  That or I was just a stupid kid back then. >_>  Still, I fell down on purpose so I could train off the gym trainers while I still could.  Not sure if 1Standchu still needs the experience but I figure I might as well take the experience and the cash while I still can.

After that, it was time to finally go up face-to face against the gym leader.  I'll admit I was caught off guard the first time I fought him.  I keep thinking that he had a Ludico, which he only has in Emerald, and was totally not ready for the Wishcast he actually did have which proceeded to KO me as soon as I finished off his Lovdisc.

So second time around I took advantage of the fact that Lovdisc is pretty weak and the worst it can do is confuse and attract Standchu to use a hole bunch of X-items.  I believe I used 5 X-Attacks, 5 X-Defense, that item that raises critical hits who's name slips my mind, and 2 X-Specials for good measures.  Honestly, it was probably over-kill but hey, better safe than sorry.

Attraction and confusion together is pretty bad but with my Yellow Flute confusion isn't a problem and Attract will go away once I can break through it for a KO.  After setting up I proceed to 1-hit KO sweep the rest of his team.  Even the Wishcast and even a Milotic.  I did use Sweet Kiss just to be on the safe side with Milotic but I probably didn't even need it.

With my flawless victory, flawless in sense of difficulty of the final attempt not really meaning in one attempt, the Rain Badge is mine!  I also get the TM for Water Pulse, but I can't really do much with that considering 1 Standchu is my only battling Pokemon.

With that all that remains is the Pokemon League.  So first off, back to the mall to stock up on X-Items, I'll probably make quite a bit of use out of them.  Then I might double check to see if I have the return TM, and teach it to Standchu if I do, otherwise, I know where to get it.  Return with max Friendship is one of the strongest normal-type moves in the game so I think it'll be much more useful than Facade.  Maybe I'll look up where to get a Twistedspoon and a Magnet too.  I'm surprised I've ran into so few held-items that boost attack in this game.  After all that perpetration, it'll be time to head off to the Pokemon League.

Sick + Exam Week = Delays in Videos

Hey there JackitK here. As you may know if you follow me on Twitter, I haven't really been feeling my best lately, and it's to the point that it's affecting my efficiency. Plus I have to admit I didn't really do a good job planning the release of these new LPs since they occur right on my last week of school work for the quarter and I have a lot of class work to get done. I should just say that I'm delaying the release of these and all of my uploads until I get back from break.

However, I've been waiting to release these Let's Plays as much as you guys probably having been waiting to watch them. So this is what I have planned. I'll be releasing the first episode of Golden Sun the Lost Ages and of Mario Party 2 Minigame Coaster Sat. & Sun. respectfully there will be no more uploads the rest of the week.

I may upload one video of each playthrough the week I'm home but because of my home internet connection, if I do upload, it will be of lower quality then I plan on my videos being and I'll only be uploading one GS video, one Mario Party, and one JackitK tries. This is will not be guarentee and depends completely on how I feel and if I can hog the internet at home long enough to even upload a single video.

On the bright-side the week after that, I should be able to go back to my planned schedule of Golden Sun every Sun., Tues., and Thursday while Mario Party 2 gets updated every Mon. & Wed. with the usual JackitK Tries every other Friday.

That is the current plan. I apologize for so many delays on Project Golden Sun and thank you for your patience through all of this. If I make any more changes to this plan, I will be sure to alert you about them through my Twitter at www.twitter.com/Jackitstuff.

I'll try to make this announcement on my Youtube as well later today but in case something happens I have it up here.

My First Pokemon Only Run: Part 16 The Legend of Kygore

So I make it to the city I said I was heading for, Sootoplis yeah, thanks scene I'm about to explain. So I meet up with Steven who introduces me to Walace. Since I have the blue orb I guess its up to me to go into the Cave of Origins to save the day.

Making my way through the cave it starts getting dark. I could get TelePort to use flash. But I don't feel like going back and I can make my way around pretty good in the dark. Sorry TelePort. :(

Stumbling around I happen to find the HM for Waterfall. It turns out Underbelly can learn the move. Hurray for not having to go get another HM slave!

At the very depths of the cave I find Kyogre. I'm not sure if I should catch it or just defeat it. It's not like I'm using it either way. Trying to catch it would be harder but seeing how it gets a critical hit with Ice Beam I don't even want to bother.

So with that I defeated Kyogre and saved the world! Now to backtrack out due to a lack of escape ropes... ._. Well at least I'm able to get 1Standchu to lv. 62 with the experience from all the freakin Zubats. Sorry I was too close to leveling up to resist fighting a couple of them.

My First Pokemon Only Run: Part 15 Into the Dark of a Legendary Lair

So now that we can use the HM Dive outside of battle, before we chase after Team Aqua I decide to go get a Yellow Shard which is needed to trade to an NCP for a Thunderstone.  But first a Pokemon that actually can learn Dive.  I catch a random Tenacool I decide to call underbelly, he'll be my official Dive slave and hopefully it can learn waterfall so it can be my Waterfall HM slave as well.

Unfortunately I have terrible luck finding said Yellow Shard.  After searching around the water area where dive is used and checking the dive spots I could find, I have no luck getting a Yellow Shard.  I even search around online following any advice I could with no luck.  Thankfully I was able to find a random LPer who just so happen to show off collecting items including the shards.  Not exactly a playthrough I'd watch with the time I had but it was still nice to actually be able to follow him around until he collected the shard.

After finally getting that, I then trade the shard for the Thunderstone so now I can evolve 1Standchu whenever/if ever I feel the need for it.  But now that I got that, onward after Team Aqua.

Now, you're suppose to follow a really huge dive area around until you find an underwater cave.  If your at the right place you'll see the submarine Team Aqua stole there.  Dive up and now it's time to pursue the villains and own them, yeah!  Unfortunately it's not that easy this time, not because team Aqua is actually a threat now, no there's... strength and current puzzles.

After not realizing strength was needed and forgetting I got rid of strength on 1Standchu.  I had to backtrack to get a Pokemon that could learn strength.  Thankfully Nanny can learn it so I teach it to him.  Besides that, the current puzzle was the worst part.  It took a good amount of time and thinking to figure out how to get by the current, and guess what I was rewarded with after getting by that?  About 15 rocks blocking my way that I have to carefully move in order to get by.  Somehow I got it on my first try though.

With that all that remains between me and the goal of this place is Archie himself.  While it could of gone bad it didn't.  Mighyena wasn't too bad, though Intimidate was annoying to have.  Either way, it went down to a few Thunderbolts after a bit of a healing war.  Next up came Crobat since all it really could do to me is use Confuse Ray, I used this moment to get a few X-Specials up just in case.  I then used the Yellow Flute to get rid of any confusion I had and finished it off with a Thunderbolt.  Last but defiantly not least was Sharpedo.  It went down to one Thunderbolt but not before almost KOing 1Standchu with a Slash attack.  Thankful it wasn't a critical and I won.


Not like that whole battle mattered, Team Aqua still messed things up by the Red Orb Summoning Kygore making it rain heavily.  If this keeps up the whole world will drown.  Great job guys. >_<  Well only thing that can be done is to head over to Sootopolis city and see if there is anything we can do...
